As next gen consoles go the Wii U has had a pretty good outing thus far in terms of units sold and games released. Namco certainly has tried getting ahead of the game in this sense, releasing their console 18 months prior to the planned Xbox One and PS4, both due out next month. Supporting high definition graphics (a first for a Nintendo console) and with 2GB of RAM, the developers certainly mean business and will hopefully fare better then the GameCube did against the Xbox and PS2 in the decade just gone.
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
The designer of the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 shows us the prototype that started it all.
Kim writes: "Super Smash Bros. will not be shown at Evo 2022, this year's biggest fighting game event. The Sony-owned sports organization announced the loss of the platformer in a statement on Twitter today, and seemed to blame the decision on Nintendo, which has historically tried to control how their games appear in the wild."
In away this hurts Nintendo Smash Bros has some dedicated fans. What better way to help build hype and sell more of the game then showcasing it at EVO.
I agree with Shulk, Lloyd and Palutena
I feel that this is the chance to bring an old Nintendo character. Melee brought the Ice Climbers, and Brawl reintroduced Pit. Maybe I'm dreaming too much, but Takamaru from Nazo no Murasamejou could make the cut. I would like to see Nintendo's samurai in this entry.
I want to see Midna and Wolf Link.
Bayonetta for sure.
I'd like to see
Pac-man (the old school pacman not the lame disney version)
Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes
Zael from The Last Story
Aeron from Pandora's Tower
Wonder Red & Blue from The Wonderful 101
