I'm definitely 100 percent alright with the copy and paste characters (Ganon, Wolf, Lucas,ect...) being removed as it takes away slots for potential unique fighters for SSB's future. I would be very dissapointed if Ike and Snake didn't make the cut but at this point who honestly knows. Can't wait to see the full roster in the months to come.

trenso13738d ago

why was king dedede(however you spell it) on this list i didnt feel he had much to add to the game same goes for wario. I know lucario probably wont be coming back but i hope we at least get more pokemon like a pokemon trainer 2 with johto starters.

kirbyu3738d ago

King Dedede has already been confirmed to return.

trenso13738d ago

literally just learned about this 30 minutes ago lol.

kirbyu3738d ago

How does ROB not represent an era of Nintendo?

DylanTierney3738d ago

I feel like Wii Fit Trainer takes the torch of "out there" characters.

MNGamer-N3738d ago

Bye bye Jigglypuff. Terrible. And even though I like Pikmin, Olimar was weak as hell. Loved his Rocket smash though that was great.

EcoSos33738d ago (Edited 3738d ago )

Jigglypuff will be returning because he is from the original 12.

link2Dpast3738d ago (Edited 3738d ago )

i always referred to jigglypuff as a her lol weird to see it in that way

EcoSos33738d ago

It could be either its never specified which gender Jigglypuff is in smash but I always refer it to as a he.

I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.

RoseSapphire333d ago

Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.

FTFY

Snookies12333d ago

Exactly, online play would be wonderful on Smash if Nintendo gave a crap about their online services. To be fair though, Nintendo's online offerings would be great if it were 15-20 years ago lol.

jambola333d ago

I've always said that Nintendo is either innovative and ahead of the curve
or 20 years behind, no in between

CrimsonWing69333d ago

I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.

It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.

Vanfernal333d ago

His argument is nonsensical. "You'd be limited to just playing people from your region". As opposed to being limited to playing people FROM YOUR COUCH!

CrimsonWing69333d ago

What I don’t get is how do you not have competition and experience the same issue if you have a friend that’s way better than you?

GoodGuy09333d ago

It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.

If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.

NotoriousWhiz333d ago (Edited 333d ago )

I can't imagine Nintendo producing a better smash game than ultimate. Roll it forward with a deluxe edition maybe with an extra character or two and call it a day.

Some other developers can try pushing platform fighters to the next level, because I don't think Nintendo is up to the task.

DarthZoolu332d ago

They already created a better smash brothers game than ultimate when they created melee

masterfox333d ago

he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.

Xenoblade Chronicles X needs a remake when Switch 2 comes out! The game was fantastic, and it looked great! Better than most Switch games.

It isn't going to happen though. Monolith soft said "it is way too big", and would be too costly. I would absolutely buy that again, especially a remake or even a remaster.

Xenoblade Chronicles X should have sold better.

Sgt_Slaughter494d ago

One of the games I'm grateful that I found in-stock at GameStop before they quickly cleared nearly all pre-PS4/One/Switch games from their stores.

Nyxus494d ago

Perhaps if the series sold a little more on Switch, it would be worth it to do a port. If only some of those Pokemon numbers went to Xenoblade...

Sirk7x494d ago (Edited 494d ago )

I don't see how it would be too costly for them, when even a 1:1 Switch port would sell far better than the Wii U version ever did. It'd sell a million copies easy. Also, it is kinda crazy how good that game still looks.

GotGame818492d ago

X looks better than the Switch Xenoblade games.

Profchaos494d ago (Edited 494d ago )

Thank you homebrew community for breathing life into the system Nintendo spent years trying to forget.

One of my favourite systems for homebrew along with the Xbox, vita and ps2

Sirk7x494d ago

Huge library of great games with a modded Wii U. Virtual console, including injections, emulation, Wii U, Wii and Gamecube games with Nintendont on vWii.

FinalFantasyFanatic493d ago

Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.

Playing Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS in 2021

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch made playing Smash 4, on either system a thing of the past. But for today’s piece, I wanted to revisit the 3DS version of the previous generation of Smash Bros., to see how it holds up and see if time has changed my opinion on the first portable Smash Bros. game."
