This Isn't The Trailer For The New Smash Bros. Game, But It Should Be

Kotaku - Okay, so this "trailer" for the new Smash Bros is not in any way real. But who cares about that? The sheer ridiculousness of badly rendered Smash characters is worth watching anyway; it's so silly.

What the hell no it shouldn't...

ChickeyCantor3980d ago

yeah you kinda missed the sarcasm there..

Donnieboi3980d ago

Even though this is a joke video, the fact that Kotaku is giving it this much attention goes to show how little actual journalism Kotaku takes part in. They rarely break a new news story. I don't even know why we still approve 95% of their stuff (and the other 5% gets by just because they are opinion pieces).

Bad CGI Shrek is the best Shrek.

I was really angry because my dad made me shut off SMG2 because it was too loud, and this totally cheered me up.

You do know you can turn the television's volume down, right?

kirbyu3980d ago

This gives me an idea. You know how in Brawl you can do Giant, Metal, Fast, etc. In the new game, Glitchy should be an option. It makes it look like the game is glitching.

What Super Smash Bros. owes SNK and Terry Bogard

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.

Interesting how many elements of Fatal Fury and King of Fighters is in SSB

Japanese censors demanded panty checks for female SSB characters during development

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

Abriael1613d ago (Edited 1613d ago )

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.

Teflon021613d ago

Stop playing dumb lol.
You know Nintendo is aiming for a low board rating so they have to censor to get it based on what the board deems reason to raise it

Abriael1613d ago (Edited 1613d ago )

@Teflon02: I'm well aware, but that's on Nintendo. They have the freedom to keep the content intact and accept a higher rating. It doesn't make CERO into "censors" in any shape or form.

That's simply not what a rating board is. Censors dictate content. A rating board does not. It assigns a rating based on the existing content.

TK-661613d ago

Then that's on Nintendo, and not the ratings board.

TK-661613d ago

Yeah, I'm not seeing the issue with them asking to see if characters actually have underwear modeled. That would actually be reason to give the game a higher age rating. If Sakurai included them and Nintendo then removed them to achieve a lower age rating that would've made Nintendo the censors.

A rating board has every right to ask for this to accurately rate the game.

bluefox7551613d ago

Let's be honest, a game won't be sold by retailers in the US if it has an AO rating, they have power over the industry, even if they're only a "rating board".

Abriael1613d ago

That's completely unrelated, and the rating board still does not require any change to the content. The developer has full freedom to distribute the game via other means.

Calling a rating board "censors" couldn't be less accurate. That's simply not their job.

annoyedgamer1613d ago

Ratings Org can shift around elements and the ratings they garner. Im not saying that was done here but it's heen done in the US feature films and the MPAA.

I hope they did not ask to check Dark Samus under that armour.

Tross1613d ago

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.

Abriael1613d ago (Edited 1613d ago )

It's not in the name of censorship. It's in the name of not giving a CERO A rating (All ages) to a game that doesn't fit its content guidelines.

Tross1612d ago

It’s still dumb no matter what you call it. Equestria Girl dolls have panties. Are those not child-friendly? Besides, in talking about Japan, you don’t want to know what CoroCoro comics get away with. A panty shot or two might as well be CERO A.

Abriael1612d ago

@Tross: you're comparing entirely different industries with different rules.

ibrake4naps1613d ago

Games will show muscle men's nips, but God forbid a quick glimpse of princess Peach's vagina. Hypocrisy!!!
