For those of you who haven’t heard, Nintendo issued a cease and desist to The Big House. What’s that? For the past nine years, it’s one of the biggest Smash Bros. competitions, usually held in Michigan. This year they were going to run their Melee tournament online this month via emulators with the use of “Slippi,” a brand new tool that essentially implements high-quality tournament-ready rollback netcode into the game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate events have been on reruns for a significant period of time now, but believe it or not, the game is seeing a slight revitalization for its fifth anniversary.
The best Black Friday deals to get the Nintendo Switch. Take the opportunity to get the console at a discount.
In the latest video on Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai's YouTube channel, the developer talks about fighter reveal videos in the Nintendo fighting series. "Fighter reveal videos are a flashy way of unveiling new Smash Bros. fighters. We were already doing something like them in the trailers for Smash Bros Brawl, but they didn't get their official start until Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U," Sakurai reveals.
My thoughts exactly, very odd thing to come out and say... Not a good reason at all to get rid of them.
I get the guy has been overworked for years but this screams “I have an excuse not to do something extra”
Like he bit off more than he could chew and wanted to stop it with how many new characters there was so blamed the leaks
Wut. Not really...a good excuse lol. Nintendo has some of the worst excuses at times. I'm sad they don't have epic cutscenes any more in the story like in Brawl. I suppose we still get them for new character trailers though which is nice.
I wonder if Disney will play nice and release some other characters besides Sora to the game. Wouldn't mind seeing Mickey Mouse or even Chip N Dale, Darkwing Duck or even Aqua from KH. Hell I would love it if Disney would drop Goliath or even Wildwing from the Mighty Ducks cartoon.
you will never see mickey in a fighting game brawler.
disney is very protective about their mascot. and all of their characters rly.
You forget Sora is owned by Disney all of KH is owned by Disney. Minus the characters owned by Square.
true but mickey IS Disney. its their mascot, has been since more than god knows how many years. its not a comparison. like at all.
theres a reason why he was only included at the end of kh1 haha.
Still amazes me that Sakurai never did anything like Subscpace after Brawl. What a pathetically petty reason to not continue them. Everything works differently around the world including mentalities. Sometimes these overseas developers don't know how to hide the fact that their pride goes through the roof. Tell me you have too much pride in your work without telling me you have too much pride in your work.
Smash is just another game. Give the people what they want. And believe me when I say what people want isn't another stupid Fire Emblem character. I still wish Smash would've gone on from 64 without ever adding that lame AF franchise..
Is there any way it could be done without any money being involved? Just for the love and sport of it? Nintendo can't stop the competitive scene from having fun for fun sake
I mean it comes off a bit corporate greedy. People making money off hosting a Smash Tournament, but at some point they have to look at that as exposure. I’m sure people would want to go out and buy the game from partaking in the event. It’s not like these things happen all the time, right?
Wow, fuck Nintendo.
