Super Smash Bros. 4 creator prefers classic controls, fewer “non-Nintendo characters”

Super Smash Bros. Wii U won’t contain “complicated controls just for the sake of it,” according to series creator Masahiro Sakurai.

too many 3rd party characters would make the game look more like the Sony Allstars rather than a Smash Bros game.

victoryscreeeeeech4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

does that really matter to you? Because it does not to me.

victoryscreeeeeech4330d ago

correction, i do not see what is wrong with more 3rd party characters, wishingw3l said that he would be concerned if there were too many, Im just sayin that I do not care how many 3rd party characters there are, 0-100 im looking forward to the new smash bros

Ron_Danger4330d ago

Cause Sony announced sooooo many 3rd party characters so far...

I'd rather have a few 3rd party characters than, say, 4 of the same character with just a different paint scheme or younger and older versions

Instigator4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

It'd seem less like an all-star fighter and more of a crossover fighter, I'd say.

One or two Namco characters wouldn't be too shabby. I'd like to see Klonoa and Pacman or a Tales character.

jimbobwahey4330d ago

PlayStation All-Stars has two third party characters that we know of. Smash Bros Brawl also has two third party characters as well.

Congratulations wishingW3L, you're an idiot.

coolman2294330d ago

Which two are the third party characters?

jimbobwahey4329d ago

Smash Bros Brawl has Sonic and Solid Snake. PlayStation All-Stars has Heihachi and the Big Daddy.

Funny to see angry Nintendo fanchildren ignore cold hard fact though in their quest to rage against PS All-Stars.

Before, I was a little nervous taht Namco was developing Smash Brs. but now I'm not!

AgreeFairy4330d ago

Classic controls meaning support for an arcade stick or classic controls meaning not motion controls? I would rather use the arcade stick for fighting games.

Ben_Grimm4330d ago

That would be cool if they made a Nintendo character that used motion controlls specifically for his moves.

RockmanII74330d ago

If they are cutting down on non-Nintendo characters that means there will likely only be one this time around or SSB4 might not have Snake and/or Sonic. Pacman would be a shoe in, but if he gets in I guess that would be the only 3rd party character meaning no Mega Man :(.

Omar914330d ago

i rather see mega man then packman honestly.

RockmanII74330d ago

That's the general consensus, but the game is being co-developed by Namco so they'll probably want to get one of their characters in and now with them cutting down on 3rd party characters it's looking likely to me that anyone that isn't owned by Namco Bandai or Nintendo won't get in.

schlanz4330d ago

I may be in the minority here but I'm all for getting rid of Sonic and Snake.

Samus HD4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

Pacman doesn't fit in nintendo universe..! that's what I think

It's a "scroll wheel" feature on the controller. Switch 2 rumored to have one.

XiNatsuDragnel195d ago

Scroll wheel would be in line with nintendos uniqueness I find appealing imo.

Rainbowcookie195d ago

Just wish they would lower their prices after games are a few years old. Its hard in countries where the exchange rate kills gaming. 1 game is = to and 1/8 of their paycheck. Hard to play a nice mario when its like that.

0hMyGandhi194d ago

Damn, you guys got mean marios over there?

GotGame818194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

Nintendo used to lower prices back in the Gamecube Wii days. They were called Nintendo Selects and priced $20.00. They haven't done that in years. Nintendo should!

FinalFantasyFanatic194d ago

@GotGame818,

I miss those days, they didn't even lower prices for 3DS games before they scuttled new Eshop purchases, or prices on physical copies. I've also noticed the discounts for Switch games aren't as good now that the pandemic has been over for a while, especially on first party games. I wish they would bring the Selects back and drop $20 off the price permanently.

DazaMc195d ago

It's about time for Arkanoids return!

Brazz195d ago

Scroll Wheel would be very cool. Legit great feature for games that need select skills, itens, weapons, etc.

Tacoboto195d ago

Especially if "next to the triggers" means clickable scroll wheels instead of bumpers/L1R1.

That would be so great for games where those buttons already bring up in-game select wheels

Knightofelemia195d ago

Was not one of my favorite consoles but the shit a person could do with it. A gameboy player was about the reason why I liked the GC. And taking it apart to clean it pretty simple I wish Nintendo would let the gameboy player work on the Switch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Has Been Labelled A ‘Masterpiece’ By Super Smash Bros. Creator

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has spent his weekend playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and has come away more than a little impressed, labelling both games as masterpieces.

eagle21234d ago

Nice! I guess he considers them a "smashing" success. ;p

InUrFoxHole234d ago

Well played sir... well played!

CrimsonWing69234d ago

You win “comment of the day!”

Tzuno234d ago

He must be having quite a low standards when it comes to games
Saying that Reskin 2 is Masterpiece... lol

Dandizzle234d ago

salty much? SM2 is absolutely a masterpiece.

Unknown_Gamer5794234d ago

Just a troll who can’t handle MS taking third place yet again with 2023 exclusives, with their supposed “GotG” not getting the reception it was expected to. Nothing to see here.

GrizzliS1987234d ago

What does he know, 7/10 no name reviewers are much more credible.
Ps: starfield 10/10 easily

FinalFantasyFanatic233d ago

It's Sakurai, I think you need to learn your game developers better, in fact, he has a whole Youtube channel dedicated to game design. I think he knows a thing or two about what makes a good game.

Nerdmaster234d ago

Spider-Man confirmed in Smash Bros Multiverse on Switch U!
