On Facebook, Ubisoft shared a picture of a Raymanized Super Smash Bros, asking for fans of Rayman to vote for the character on Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros ballot.

I really don't . Give me more Pokemon characters like poliwrath . I hate geeninja

deafdani3674d ago

Really? Greninja, Lucario, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, Mewtwo (upcoming), and a lot of Pokémon items, and you want more?

Lol, that would be Super Pokémon Bros. XD

Give me Rayman, please. :3

NecotheSergal3674d ago

And a few weeks before release, Raymans' character quality gets downgraded mysteriously.

Kevlar0093674d ago

Gotta be authentic. Though I'm afraid with the rest of the game running at 60 FPS Rayman won't fit in.

NecotheSergal3673d ago

60FPS Game with a character whos' animations run at 5-25FPS.

Foraoise3674d ago

I GUESS I'll be okay with this. But he's more PlayStation and should be in PlayStation All-Stars...

N4g_null3674d ago

Yeah put him in that sucky smash Bros clone. That is what ubi deserves.

Foraoise3674d ago

It really wasn't a bad game at all. People over exaggerate. It actually sold very well and was a very good game. Get out. Don't bandwagon.

lizard812883673d ago

To me, Rayman has been all over the place. Granted, i'm 26, so i've seen him on everything, even more so after rayman 2 dropped. I think that game is for every console, lol.

gamerdad3163674d ago

Despite the shenanigans that ubisoft pulled, i believe the history of rayman would bea good fit.

No93674d ago

I'd charge them a hefty price, after what they pulled!

ChronoJoe3674d ago

Don't be ridiculous. It's not Ubisofts fault if the Wii U isn't a good platform for third parties. They're a business and are aiming to make a profit, they have no incentive to produce or release titles / content at a loss.

EliteGameKnight3674d ago (Edited 3674d ago )

ChronoJoe, I don't think the problem so much is that they're a business and more so that they promised support, then again and again retracted those promises. Such as them stating they will support the console at its start, then proceeding to ignore it at the next E3, making Rayman exclusive, then making it multiplat, and delaying the finished game to the end of the year. Amusing since the game still sold best on the Wii U despite being boycotted for going multiplatform. And re-releasing dated games at full price, thus ensuring that they wouldn't sell, and using those figures to say that Wii U owners don't buy their games

wonderfulmonkeyman3674d ago (Edited 3674d ago )

@ Chrono
Third parties have been making all the wrong moves with their Wii U ports, and that's no one's fault but their own.
Their chances of making back what they lost by making their games at least equal in content, is actually a lot better than their chances of making their money back using games that come out late, lack content, aren't given ANY advertisement focus, and are still sold at full price despite those issues.

On top of limiting profits potential, all of those bad games and broken promises also soured their reputation with Wii U gamers.
At this point, even if the NX turns out to be a powerhouse of its gen like the Gamecube was, no one will buy multiplats on it because everyone knows they never include all the content in the Nintendo versions of their multiplats, and don't ever support the systems in the long term regardless.

Hell, few if any of them have made a mature title specifically designed for Wii U.
Ubisoft came close with Zombie U, but it turned out to be a retooled version of a cancelled PS360 title that would have used aliens instead of a game planned with the system firmly in mind.

Third parties need to quit making excuses.
The only way to make sales is to make gamers on those systems happy.
They've done that for everyone except players on Wii U.
They need to wipe their own asses, because Nintendo can't make Nintendo gamers want third party games.

Only third parties can make Nintendo gamers want their games.

scark923674d ago

I think it is a good idea!

KryptoniteTail3674d ago

Hopefully he doesn't get in. I don't care for him. There's other better characters up for grabs like Banjo now.

shaw983674d ago

Would be really cool but I already voted for Banjo. I just love the possibilities with this ballot. Any character can get in with this.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

franwex81d ago

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq180d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.

Ten Overdue Fighters for Smash Bros.

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While the future of Smash Bros. has been uncertain for a while - whether Nintendo will build on Ultimate or bring us a new entry entirely - within all likelihood a new Nintendo system still means something new for Smash Bros. is on the horizon, and that something will almost certainly include new fighters, however many or few. While this might be the gaming article equivalent of putting up Christmas decorations in October, it’s never too early to start speculations when it comes to Smash Bros. before two thirds of everything inevitably gets leaked ahead of time. Keep in mind that this is not a list of predictions for future newcomers, though a few could perhaps fit in that same category, but rather a small list of the characters that in this writer’s humble opinion are overdue an appearance in the gaming crossover to end all crossovers."

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.

RoseSapphire711d ago

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

FTFY

Snookies12711d 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.

jambola711d ago

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

CrimsonWing69711d 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.

Vanfernal711d 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!

CrimsonWing69711d 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?

GoodGuy09711d 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.

NotoriousWhiz711d ago (Edited 711d 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.

DarthZoolu710d ago

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

masterfox711d 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.
