I don't know about you, but when I hear Nintendo is about to unveil a new home console, I wonder when I'm going to see a new Super Smash Bros. The publisher's last two systems, the GameCube and Wii, were both fully revealed alongside new installments of the popular fighting/party game. Each time the franchise has grown in complexity and scope, making it one of the most anticipated releases every generation.
The Nintendo fans here at IGN have been playing a lot of Smash Bros. lately. We've also been looking back at Smash 64, Melee and Brawl thanks to some excellent reader blogs. It's time to ponder what could come next from the series that collides the worlds of Zelda, Mario, Metroid and more.
Tracer used AI to serve takedowns "on behalf of Nintendo".
Nintendo's new 'wireless device' patent suggests it tracks movement. Could it be a precursor for VR?
The prospect of having a proper Nintendo VR is exciting.
I'd die for another Astrobot on PSVR2, as the Rescue Mission on PSVR1 was incredible. Sony showed how amazing platformers can be in VR, and I have no doubt Nintendo could do some equally amazing things IF they were to embrace the platform.
Music to our ears.
“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."
Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.
Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.
Your opinion is correct. There's no denying Nintendo's influence on the handheld market that's paved the way for the ROG, Steam Deck, MSI Claw etc but apart from the dock to get a small jump in power, it wasn't really revolutionary, even back when it launched. It was a more refined concept of the Wii U which again wasn't new or groundbreaking back then either.
He was saying that's what they strive for and that is a fact.do they always hit the mark?. no but it's in they're design philosophy all the same.
LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen
So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games
I'll take the art style thanks
Here's what I would definitely appreciate:
- More 3rd party characters - 1 or 2 is fine. But these have to be characters that are known to be in Nintendo franchises. And more Nintendo characters, of course!
- Mini games other than break the target. Something cool...not something that feels like it was just thrown in there.
- Voice acting for the characters that have voices because there were way too many awkward moments in Brawl's story.
- Better level customization and sharing would be nice.
what we want is a new super smash bros.
How about FF and KH characters?
Viewtiful Joe and Travis Touchdown
Make it happen
I can only see Nintendo adding a few new Nintendo characters. they are running down to the wire. Krool IIRC, is now the most wanted character along with Ridley.
What i want is:
-More 3rd party characters, maybe like 3 new ones. One of them better be (Classic) megaman.
-Balance changes, Nurfs and Buffs.
-Better AI, Brawls was lame. Melee's was much better balanced.
-Final Smashes not to be a KO fest
-BETTER ONLINE
-Better Custom level maker.
-Bring back the gumball machine for trophies
-More assist trophies. (I would like to make them throw-able instead of picking it up and activating.)
-Better Random Pokemon. Brawl's was lame. it is just the same 3 pokemon over again.
-Make tripping an option
-Arcade, Adventure, and Story mode for main single player modes.
