Namco Not In Charge of Handling Character Direction in Next Super Smash Bros. Says Tekken Director

In case you’ve been living under a rock or if you simply missed it, last week we had the chance to sit down with Mr Katsuhiro Harada, Director of the Tekken series. Today in Part 2 we finish off our chat and discuss working with the Wii U, Namco Bandai on the next Smash Bros. and why you shouldn’t skip Tekken Tag Tournament 2 this September.

I just hope they put in some great characters like Saki and Isaac.

Fierce Musashi4715d ago (Edited 4715d ago )

Oh yes. They deserved more than just being Assist Trophies. Same with Ray MK III, only I think they should go with Ray 01 model for the character.

CanadianTurtle4715d ago

I seriously hope they don't because this is SSB, not "Nintendo X Namco"

Lord_Sloth4714d ago (Edited 4714d ago )

I'm not sure how the main characters from Sin & Punishment and Golden Sun (2 Nintendo owned franchises) would turn this into Nintendo x Namco...

Shok4715d ago

Good, I just want them to focus on the gameplay. Hopefully Namco's involvement will lead to more edgy gameplay like Melee as opposed to Brawl.

HarryMasonHerpderp4715d ago

Melee was the perfect smash bro's game.
It was so good.

Patriots_Pride4715d ago

Lets hope the rumors about Nintendo trying to get back Banjo are true as Banjo was born to be SSB.

I would also like to some KI characters in SSB and Conker.

MySwordIsHeavenly4715d ago

Give us deeper fighting mechanics and a good story. Is that SO HARD to make?!?

ChickeyCantor4715d ago

Yes it is hard to make considering it's a fighting game. "stories" in fighting games never shine and are hardly of any interest. Because the gameplay doesn't allow for story telling or interaction thereof.

Melees fighting mechanic was deep enough.

Lord_Sloth4714d ago

BlazBlue says hi.

The problem isn't that fighting games lack interaction for the story, it's that nobody takes the time and care to create a good story.

That said, I don't really care is SSB gets a story or not since I spend all of my time in 4 way free for alls.

ChickeyCantor4713d ago

"BlazBlue says hi. "

Please, why not just read a manga or something? The fighting adds nothing to the story and vice versa.

Advent994714d ago

"Give us deeper fighting mechanics and a good story. Is that SO HARD to make?!?"

I doubt this guy even knows how to play SSB.

CaptainN4715d ago

No to Namco/Bandai characters.......I want a Nintendo fighter, thats why I get Smash. If I want to fight as a Tekken or Soul Caliber character thats what I have those games for. Keep them out of my game, thanks !

RockmanII74715d ago

Sonic and Snake were in Brawl, I'd be ok with someone like Pacman or Klonoa getting in. I just don't think Tekken or Soul Caliber characters really fit the style in Smash though.

Hitman raises his head but how good are the Xbox Games With Gold freebies for September 2019?

Carlos writes: "With Gamescom having just gone and Halloween starting to appear on the horizon, it can only mean that ‘the horror-days are coming’. Man of Medan and Blair Witch are now both here to scare the living daylights out of all who dare come near, and so it’s hard to think you should be focusing on anything else. But let’s not get hasty as first of all we still have all those free games to look through courtesy of the Xbox Games With Gold program for September 2019. So let’s dive straight in and see whether or not you should be bothering with the latest batch of Xbox Games With Gold freebies."

To be honest getting Hitman for free is really good. That game has so much replayability.

TheProfessional2122d ago

"Hitman raises his head" What a terrible and poorly written title for an article.

littletad2122d ago

Most of the "staff" of these websites are freelance writers or college kids. None of them are paid to write, only promised exposure or some money revenue if advertisement deals are made. College graduates or those with masters are only paid "well" in major publications like IGN or even Kotaku. Though it's never the main gig. So you'll never see top quality writing in 80 percent of these news submissions. Sorry for the random detail, I just used to be like you lol.

TheProfessional2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

Haha appreciate the reply, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's just damn even for a middle school graduate that's poor writing.

gamer78042122d ago

I'm not a big fan of hitman so not a great month for me

FanboySpotter2122d ago

Damn. Blair Witch, hitman(i had on ps4) and then gears 5 in a few days? Gamepass Ultimate is cool af

MazeRunner2125d ago

u cant expect AAA games every month. hitman is pretty decent and i like fighting games so Tekken is a good addition to my collection. if you dont feel like its good to u thats a u problem.

RangerWalk2672125d ago

Sad world we live in when someone can't be happen when someone offers something to you for free. Oh well, to each their own I guess.

King_Noctis2124d ago

Actually, alot of people are happy except for you maybe.

yomfweeee2124d ago

@Ranger, it isn't free.

darthv722124d ago

EDF 2025 is a good one for me. It's the only EDF I dont own so I'll gladly take it digital.

thats your opinion and i dont share it

DarXyde2124d ago

TTT2 is not a bad month.

Christopher2125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

EDF 2025! Great month!

Edit: There is zero sarcasm. I'm a big fan of the stupid games.

darthv722124d ago

Love EDF games and this is one I have not played so.... yay me!

TGGJustin2125d ago

That is a horrible month. Hitman is the only good thing there and it just left Game Pass. They are giving you a cheap $5 game which I think is a new low for them. Then you have the third EDF game on GWG this year and it isn't even good. Tekken Tag 2 was given to all Xbox players during E3 a couple years ago. Microsoft continues to show that they are just trying to push people to Game Pass and have given up on this service.

yomfweeee2125d ago

Ya putting the same games from Gold and GP is kind of messed up. Especially since they are selling those as a package with Ultimate GP.

monkey6022125d ago

That's a really boring month for me

monkey6022125d ago

Sure do. Currently pre installing Gears 5 and just finished downloading Pandemic from Game Pass

gamer78042125d ago

welp the xbox 360 games are better than the xbox one games this month, was hoping for more.

CuVe2125d ago

It is a really good game, its just that it was free on ps plus long ago... The second Hitman is 20Euro(~22USD) now, so even that is very cheap. This is a very bad month. And if you compare it with PS Plus its even worse...

Blaze9292124d ago

@CuVe - what does any of that have to do with Xbox and it's users?

IamTylerDurden12125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

Hitman is good, but it was just on Game Pass and PS+ gave it like 7 months ago. It's weak of them to offer gwg titles that are or were just on Game Pass. Also, PS+ giving it away isn't a big deal, but some people do have both PS+ and gwg, plus it just takes a little steam out.

If Hitman wasn't on Game Pass it still wouldn't be a great month, especially considering the competition received Darksiders 3 and Batman.
