We have a new king of Smash, at least sales wise. The fourth entry in the Super Smash Bros series is now the highest selling game in the series with 13.13 million copies sold, beating Super Smash Bros Brawl for the crown.
In a relatively short time, Generation VI's Ninja Pokémon has become wildly popular, outpacing nearly 900 other Pokemon.
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.
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
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.
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.
Games will show muscle men's nips, but God forbid a quick glimpse of princess Peach's vagina. Hypocrisy!!!
"B-b-but, Nintendo should go third party!!"
Suck it, haters. This shows that Nintendo has the potential to do just fine with home and handheld combined, despite the rise of phone games and the popularity of competing systems, so quit port begging.
Nearly bout a wii U for this game. The only nintendo exclusive that sells me the console.
While this is a great accomplishment, it's a shame that the Wii U version hasn't sold more than the N64 original yet
Of course it sold high numbers. Lucina and Robin are the best
Love this game
