"You can only truly wow a player the first time he sees [a cutscene]."
Wow, then why bother to make them at all? It's like Nintendo doesn't want me to buy a Wii-U. Explain yourself Nintendo.
"I felt if players saw the cutscenes outside of the game, they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game, so I've decided against having them."
Well, hell there is your problem right there. Cutscenes being treated as "shiny rewards" are the cutscenes I don't mind skipping. Cutscenes should only be used to offer a purpose for the gameplay. I would think that playing the game is the reward for playing the game. Silly me, little did I know people only play games to watch cutscenes. Yeah, I can't get on board with that.
Man, this makes me think of a kid going "Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad" then dad going "WHAT?!?!" followed by "Well, nevermind." Go to your room and pout Nintendo, I don't want to listen to it.
What you said made no sense . Try again .
OT: I think he's right . Youtube killed a lot of things in gaming in my opinion . There no longer any reward for doing anything when you can just say , fuck it , i'm watching it on youtube . However , while his reasoning is correct , it's misplaced on SSB . SSB, main focus is on the gameplay , not the story . Removing cutscene in a game like that changes little in regards of the actual game . HOWEVER , it will save them money . Cutscenes are not needed in SSB , and not having them will have little or no impact on the game itself and the number of people buying it . I sincerely doubt there are
many people that are going to refuse to buy this game due to the lack of cutscenes . So this is a good move . Again this is all in my opinion.
Um...no, not at all. I'm afraid it's you that has no idea what you're talking about, in regards to Youtube 'ruining' anything. I watch LP's on Youtube all the time, cutscenes and all, and many times it has made me go, 'okay now I need to play this game for myself.'
If you or anyone else has such a problem with Youtube ruining everything, there's always the option of, you know,
not watching the cutscenes on Youtube if you don't want anything from Smash Bros. glorified fanfic story mode to be spoiled for you. This isn't like people standing by the queues outside Borders and shouting 'Snape kills Dumbledore' through a loudhailer; people have the choice to walk away.
Leaking the cutscenes on Youtube would actually be a smart move in Smash Bros. case, because it would be a good way to reveal new characters or gimmicks in the series, which would help generate interest and shift units; something Nintendo desperately needs to do, right now.
OT: What Nintendo have done here is insane, and serves as further proof that the company is being run by a bunch of bewildered old men who still think it's 1994.
