Rumor: Ryu And Roy Confirmed For Super Smash Bros?

There was rumors floating around suggesting that Ryu from Street Fighter was going to be included in Super Smash Bros. For Wii U and 3DS. The evidence was fairly solid as a music file from Street fighter was found within the code of the latest Smash update.

More evidence has emerged that gives credence to the rumor that Ryu is indeed planned to be included for Super Smash Bros. For Wii U and 3DS. Two peculiar video has emerged of what seems to be in game footage of Ryu and Roy in Super Smash Bros. For Wii U.

Wait. Please tell me that means Roy is confirmed too ;A;

Fin_The_Human3231d ago (Edited 3231d ago )

Happy but dissapointed at the same time becuae I really wanted Banjo in SMB.

I heard that Banjo had a lot of votes on Nintendo survey.

The deal probably did not happen with MS becuse MS will reveal Banjo at EE3.

--Onilink--3231d ago

The smash ballot is running until October.

These additions were planned before that

TXIDarkAvenger3231d ago

Pretty much what @--Onilink-- said.

Phil Spencer was totally on board for Banjo to appear in Smash but I don't think Nintendo was seeing as how Microsoft is competition. Nintendo can't make another Banjo IP but Microsoft can. Pretty much free publicity for their competitor.

Sucks a lot. Banjo-Kazooie was one of the best games on N64 and if anyone deserves a spot on the roster, it would be them.

KingKelloggTheWH3232d ago (Edited 3232d ago )

Roy too- http://www.takuchat.com/ryu...

No one cares about Roy :(

Kinda wish these weren't leaked, would have been an awesome surprise.

Eiyuuou3231d ago

Too bad he'll probably be a Marth clone...

KingKelloggTheWH3231d ago

Yeah, after I thought about it I got sad :(

The 10th Rider3231d ago

I certainly understand people's frustration with this. But what a lot of people don't understand about characters like Dr Mario and Roy coming back is that it's partially because Melee was so beloved, and there are people in the competitive sphere that liked to main as those characters. Add in what Sakurai has said about clones being significantly easier to make because they can be balanced against their clone, rather than against the entire roster, and it actually makes a lot of sense.

That being said, I hope we get some news on some totally original characters. I guess Roy fills that spot. But I was hoping they'd reveal the first fighter from the ballot.

Big_Game_Hunters3231d ago

Yeah Roy is in...
I really hope he wasn't a vote character, because if he was, faith in smash bros fans down the drain....
Anyone who voted for Roy is never allowed to complain about clones ever again.

wonderfulmonkeyman3231d ago

That looks too real to be fake!
Hooooly f***, Ryu is in Smash!
New secondary, possibly new main alongside Link.
DIBS!

gamingpro3231d ago

I hope this is true, ryu will be my main fighter.

I know it's off Off topic but u seem to be clued up on Splatoon, is it possible to have a 2nd player local play? If so how?
And while I don't mind using the gamepad, is it possible to use the pro controller?

wonderfulmonkeyman3231d ago (Edited 3231d ago )

Yes and somewhat yes, though it's a bit different than what you think.
You can't have a second player join in on online matches from the same console: they made a local multi game mode instead.

The local multiplayer for Splatoon is called Battle Dojo, and it's a 2 player only balloon popping competition. One player has to use the game pad while a second player uses the pro controller.
( there's a secret method for using the pro controller and a Wii remote at the same time to allow motion controls for player 2)
Splatting the opponent removes points so there's a reason to do so.

Outside of Battle Dojo, though, I don't believe the game lets you use the pro controller.

Lord_Sloth3231d ago

Anybody else find it funny that Ryu is now in Smash but his next game is PS4 exclusive?

Gemmol3231d ago (Edited 3231d ago )

you forget Capcom made an exclusive Street Fighter game for the Wii, so them making one for ps4 is not a big deal, they do this all the time, maybe in the future Wii U or next nintendo system get its own exclusive street fighter. I do not know if you played it but it was good, I like it better than the new stuff they made, only problem I did not have a Wii only a ps3. My friend still got his copy, I might just buy it off him unless ebay have it brand new for cheap. it was called Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, here a trailer https://www.youtube.com/wat...

so yeah, its not as funny

animegamingnerd3231d ago

if this is fake then is easily by far the most impressive fake leak i have ever seen.

eworthington03231d ago

Would these be The ballot characters?

Kalebninja3231d ago

No mate. the rumors of these two started when someone came a across a file with the names ryu and roy in it. the file also contained the names mewtwo and lucas so these guys were already planned and being worked on. the fighter ballot doesn't even end until October 3rd so we wont be seeing any of those for a while.

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.

RoseSapphire332d ago

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

FTFY

Snookies12332d 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.

jambola332d ago

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

CrimsonWing69332d 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.

Vanfernal332d 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!

CrimsonWing69332d 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?

GoodGuy09332d 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.

NotoriousWhiz332d ago (Edited 332d 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.

DarthZoolu331d ago

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

masterfox332d 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.

Nyxus493d 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...

Sirk7x493d ago (Edited 493d 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.

GotGame818491d ago

X looks better than the Switch Xenoblade games.

Profchaos493d ago (Edited 493d 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

Sirk7x493d 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.

There are few franchises that seem to have been played by almost everyone in the world at least once. Standing with titans like Pac-Man, Mario Kart, and Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros. is a household name.

Been playing Smash Bros. since the original came out and this is one list I can whole heartedly agree on.

Yi-Long963d ago

Kinda interested in the game (Switch), but its consistently high price combined with 2 equally expensive Season Passes means I’ll probably never get to own/play it.

Inverno963d ago

Most likely they'll release a deluxe edition for the Switch 2 cause they've shown no interest in re-releasing any of their games with dlc in "complete edition"s. But having to buy another Nintendo console wouldn't really be a good solution either.

Yi-Long963d ago

They might, but I assume just re-releasing this game on next gen will get the existing fans angry, who would prefer a completely new Smash game (like they’re upset about there not being a new Mario Kart this gen).

Seeing how very few Switch games I actually bought, because of those high prices by Nintendo, I also doubt I’d invest in a new console from Nintendo.

FinalFantasyFanatic963d ago

@Yi-Long,

I would kill for a new Mario Kart, 8 isn't bad by any stretch, but it doesn't make the best of the Switch's capabilities, although I pretty excited for that new Mario Party. I do own quite a few Switch games, but I'd own more if the games weren't so expensive, it they're not Nintendo exclusive I end up buying elsewhere.
