Carl Williams writes, "Nintendo has never really been all that keen on the idea of actually killing, I mean completely obviously utterly ending the life of, characters in their games. Sure, in Super Mario Bros and the sequels you dispatch the enemy characters in cartoony ways. Even in the Smash Bros series, a fighting game by Nintendo, they avoid any real semblance of destruction to other characters. That is until now. What if there were fatalities in Smash Bros? What if, indeed."
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.
Nintendo would never allow it and quite frankly it wouldn't fit with most of its characters. I hope one day they make their own version of Gotham City Impostors and give it an m rating that be fun to play ;)
