I was hoping he would be a playable character :(

Maybe later on tonight he will be confirmed

RosweeSon3665d ago

Only so I can beat him up for stiching up us wii u owners around launch. Rayman your going down !!

SpeedDemon3665d ago

I doubt they will reveal him, would be cool tho. I'm hoping it's a character that wasn't mentioned in the leak, but with the Xenoblade developer Retweeting the upcoming reveal, I think it's safe to say it's Shulk.

TheFinalEpisode3665d ago

A new character playable is supposed to be revealed today I find it kind of weird that he decided to share this pic today, even though it's most likely that Shulk from Xenoblade is going to be revealed I find it very interesting that they would ask for third party right for him to be in the game and not have him as a playable character.

SilentNegotiator3665d ago

I click in to see if he's also a character on 3DS, just to find out he's not playable in either. Disappoint.

Pixel_Enemy3665d ago

Will Rayman be a character we can play on Smash bros for PS4 or Xbox One? Obvious joke. The title didn't need to specify that it is a Wii U game. Just made me laugh.

pcz3665d ago

why would they do that? that is such a missed opportunity.

hopefully they later announce he's in the game, otherwise its completely pointless.

almost like- ''here's what you could have had''

kingtroy3666d ago

A Trophy ? I haven't been this upset since Conker was announce as a teaser for Project Spark.

SpiralTear3665d ago

Oh, c'mon, this isn't anywhere near the level of heartless trolling as the Conker/Project Spark thing (though having Rayman as a playable character would be awesome).

siavm3665d ago

Thing is Rayman could still be playable. You never know. They don't just let any character in the game even a trophy unless a character from the company is in the game.

RmanX10003665d ago

What emotion am i feeling...? Its a mixture of sadness, anger, confusion, nausea.... and heart break...

Blank3665d ago

Well said man! Its like on the head thanks internet hahaha! But on topic rayman does deserve props he does have good tenure in my book and I enjoyed his games. Now the troll side of me says this is free publicity considering he aint playable but believe me I say this with mixed feelings as my comment reflects.

STK0263665d ago

And it's now Nintendo's turn to include a character in a game in a totally non satisfying way. In the last month or so we've had Conker included in Project Spark, Patapon being playable in Destiny of Spirits and now Rayman is in Smash Bros, as a trophy.

But who knows, maybe these crossovers will lead to better things; Rayman could be included in Smash Bros at some point, Conker could get a true revival and Patapon might finally make its way to the Vita.

WillGuitarGuy3665d ago

You forgot to add a Resistance roster character in PS All-Stars. The game had background characters, levels, character icons, and more from the series but not a single playable character from it. If they made Radec work, I don't see how a Resistance character couldn't.

sinspirit3665d ago

Gun focused characters aren't quite as easy to balance. I could see a Resistance monster make an appearance either as a playable character or have a stage where it's one of the giant monsters in the background.

kirbyu3665d ago

I don't understand. Why would you include a trophy of a Ubisoft character, but not have a Ubisoft character be playable?

crusf3665d ago

Who said there would not be an Ubisoft character playable?

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.

RoseSapphire432d ago

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

FTFY

Snookies12432d 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.

jambola432d ago

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

CrimsonWing69432d 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.

Vanfernal432d 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!

CrimsonWing69432d 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?

GoodGuy09432d 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.

NotoriousWhiz432d ago (Edited 432d 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.

DarthZoolu431d ago

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

masterfox432d 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_Slaughter593d 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.

Nyxus593d 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...

Sirk7x593d ago (Edited 593d 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.

GotGame818591d ago

X looks better than the Switch Xenoblade games.

Profchaos593d ago (Edited 593d 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

Sirk7x593d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic592d ago

Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.

Ranking the Super Smash Bros. Games From Worst To Best

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.

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.

Inverno1063d 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-Long1063d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1063d 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.
