New Super Smash Brothers Won't Add Much New

[dudagato]

I was kind of hoping they'd expand on the MGS and Sonic universes. More stages and maybe another character from each. I wanted Knuckles or Robotnik. This sucks

Robotnik would probably just end up becoming a Wario clone.

OP: I'm still wanting to see isaac or felix from Golden Sun in the game, also they realy should remove tripping, freaking useless feature, munble munble.

I agree with everything he said, really. We don't need Fox and Wolf and Falco. Get rid of at least one of those.

Really, the only thing I would want something better of is more a Wii U thing than a game thing: Better matchmaking. I remember spending ten minutes waiting in that practice area when Brawl was still brand new.

Don't remove ANY characters! Add Krystal, Slippy, Leon, and Panther to the Space Animal representative roster to the game! Add ALL the characters!

Actualy, I completely agree with every word of this. Smash brothers is a tight game. You don't need to add fripperies to it just for the sake of adding something new. Square enix needs to learn that. I'd love to see them make a new game reusing the mechanics of older successful games.

There's no reason to go adding characters all over the place either. I'd love to see more Nintendo characters, but suddenly adding the boy from limbo and Sora from kingdom hearts and The Prince from Prince of persia would cause the game to loose some of it's charm. It's a nintendo franchise game.

What they could do is make a Nintendo vs Capcom, or Marvel vs Nintendo and include fighters from both of those. I'd buy those!

If they make Nintendo vs. Capcom, they need to make sure Katt from Breath of Fire II (And possibly Rand as well) make the roster.

Wow. On one hand I sort of admire him saying he doesn't want innovation because it'd mess up balance.

Balance. The Super Smash Bros series. These two things don't belong together.

I have no faith that this is going to turn out well. SSBB went over the top, and it still wasn't good enough IMO. I ended up playing Brawl about twice as much.

 

[Squilookle]

Did Brawl even really expand all that much over Melee? I always thought people still preferred Melee the most overall?

 

[Beautiful End]

So...they're not changing much on the game but they're releasing a sequel anyway?

Yep, Nintendo is learning from the top dogs. This might be good. For them. I guess.

I admire the fact that they can admit when a game is good and stuff, but I also gotta admit that when I buy a game, I expect it to be truly different from the prequel so that I know that I have indeed purchased a different game. I don't mind them not adding new characters just as long as the game has, I don't know, more challenges or a Capture the Flag mode or...Kill Confirm? I don't know, just something that makes up for it!

I can't help but notice that while he was clear about the lack of new third-party characters, he didn't really say anything about there not being new first-party characters.

*holds up sign hoping for Gandrayda or Rundas*

Not innovating the game and "narrowing down the rooster"?

Why buy it at all over brawl then?

 

[SurrealFactory]

You can just re-release brawl for all I care as long as it came with decent on-line play.

This isn't really up to Sakurai I suppose, but Wii U sure better have some competent voice chat options. And NO, I'm not talking about Wii Speak. :/ We don't need our talking privileges taken away just because kids play Nintendo games (gasp).

They're not doing much new? Nintendo? Really?

Needless to say I am wearing my 'not-surprised' face.
