The Late Night Gamer: At first thought yes, having Nintendo's second most popular and successful franchise (second only to Mario Kart) on the 3DS is a brilliant idea. It will sell better and generate new audiences to the Smash Bros. brand. But what about in the long run?
Smash 4 will launch for the WiiU and 3DS simultaneously, giving buyers the option to purchase the game for a platform with a lower install base for $59.99 or purchase the same title for a much larger install base for only $39.99. With differences as minimal as a handful of exclusive assisst trophies and a few levels, consumers won't exactly be persuaded to choose the more expensive route. Smash Bros. is one of those franchises that can move hardware, which the WiiU is in sore need of. Therefore by giving buyers the option to purchase the cheaper version of the same game will hurt the impact Smash should have on hardware sales.
In a relatively short time, Generation VI's Ninja Pokémon has become wildly popular, outpacing nearly 900 other Pokemon.
While some Smash fans may have hoped for a more recognizable character, Super Smash Bros. as a whole has borrowed so much from SNK games that Terry is a natural fit. In fact, an SNK character probably should have been included much earlier.
Super Smash Bros. didn’t just emerge, fully formed, as a way for Nintendo to keep contemporary characters in the front of our minds while introducing newer players to classic characters, games, and even music. The series owes a lot to SNK, and The King of Fighters.
When Super Smash Bros. Creator, Masahiro Sakurai, showcased Smash Ultimate's latest guest fighter, Terry Bogard, he brought up the fact that one of Fatal Fury's most popular characters, Mai Shiranui, would not be making an appearance in the game at all and alluded to her sexual nature as the main reason.
It turns out that Sakurai and his team had a bit of a back and forth with CERO during the development of Super Smash Bros. for Wii-U circa 2012 as the rating organization actually asked the Smash team to turn female characters upside down for panty shot angles.
Well now it makes sense why some of the character clothes in smash Bros was changed
Censors? CERO isn't a censorship organization. It's a rating board and it's no more censors than the ESRB.
They don't ask you to censor your game. They give you a rating depending on its content, no more, no less. If you want a lower rating than what you're given, that's on you.
That would be an interesting job duty, even if it’s in the name of censorship. Someone was literally paid to do a panty check on female characters, lulz.
Games will show muscle men's nips, but God forbid a quick glimpse of princess Peach's vagina. Hypocrisy!!!
In my honest opinion: NO
Smash Bros is one of the best couch multiplayer games out there I don't see a point playing it alone on a small screen. And I'm pretty sure it's impeding the development of the home console version since they try to bring the same game to both platforms.
Not only the fact that it's not comfortable playing on a small screen, I think this isn't a problem, but a 3DS version would just kill the Wii U version sales, so it's pretty obvious that if SSB was going to help to increase Wii U sales, now it's going to help less.
Umm yes. Who the hell didn't want to play smash on the go. I know lots of people who are gonna pick up both versions.
Yes is good i like it, but bad for the wii u of course ( 3ds + EA are the wii u killer )
Yes! Picking up the 3DS version up along with my WiiU version. It's Smash Bros on the go, who wouldn't want it?
This version is also going to sell hot cakes in certain places, like Japan, where the 3DS is doing extremely well.
