Well Square Enix owns the rights to all original characters that appeared in Super Mario RPG. Had Nintendo contacted them during SSBB's developement, Square would've suggested Cloud's inclusion just like they later did with SSB4.

Abash2985d ago

I still want Geno to be added in the next Smash Bros

Ol_G2984d ago

Sakurai asked for cloud they didn't suggest it he could choose freely between FF characters

KNOKAFOKE2984d ago

Considering Smash is an advertising platform for popular and upcoming titles (in this case FF7 Remake) and the utter ubiquity of FF7, Cloud's really the one who makes more sense if it comes down to a choice between the two.

Last_Boss2984d ago

I thought it would be cool to have Klonoa & King Mickey.

KentBenMei2984d ago

Man, Geno really deserved to be in this game way more than f***ing Bayonetta. Disgusting.

Relientk772984d ago

A lot if people want him in Smash

FinalomegaS2984d ago

ahhh it's OK Sakurai...

there's always the next Smash bros, and the next and next lol

at some point Smash bros roster won't be characters but actual Franchises serie names:

DK
MegaMan
SF
SuperMario World
Fire Emblem
etc etc

click on it and see the full roster.

Because honestly we're going to run out of screen space with all the characters.

would be cool to see Master chief has join the fight! would give MS some advertising right there.

Mickey Mouse ( Disney Series)
Sub Zero & Scorpion ( MK series)
M.Bison & Guile ( SF series)
Lara Croft (TR series)
Leon S Kennedy & Wesker ( RE series)
Batman & Joker ( Batman series)
Commander shepard (alternate between male and female version:ME series)

i've included the bad guys to add to the story mode of having a proper final boss according to who we pick.

I mean we should get back some old characters to add and we should well be near 100 characters.

I can see everyone but commander shepard have a good double jump... jet pack?

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.

RoseSapphire339d ago

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

FTFY

Snookies12339d 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.

jambola339d ago

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

CrimsonWing69339d 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.

Vanfernal339d 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!

CrimsonWing69339d 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?

GoodGuy09339d 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.

NotoriousWhiz339d ago (Edited 339d 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.

DarthZoolu338d ago

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

masterfox339d 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_Slaughter501d 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.

Nyxus500d 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...

Sirk7x500d ago (Edited 500d 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.

GotGame818498d ago

X looks better than the Switch Xenoblade games.

Profchaos500d ago (Edited 500d 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

Sirk7x500d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic500d ago

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

Playing Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS in 2021

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch made playing Smash 4, on either system a thing of the past. But for today’s piece, I wanted to revisit the 3DS version of the previous generation of Smash Bros., to see how it holds up and see if time has changed my opinion on the first portable Smash Bros. game."
