You don't know the fighter crowd I take it. These people have brought about four versions of Street Fighter IV. Smash is a fighting game as well as a fun party brawler (Melee is an official game at EVO). Wii U will sell, just for the exclusive stages, exclusive content, etc.
If by the "fighter crowd" you mean a small group of people that are avid fans of the genre will buy on two platforms and possibly buy a Wii U for that console's version - then sure I agree. That represents a very small number of people. Most people will be content with buying it for a system they already own for 1/3rd off. I was already pessimistic that Smash would drive a large number of Wii U sales but after this, it's going to fail to drive almost any sales outside of some small hardcore audiences (and most of them probably own a Wii U already).
Okay yeah if they've accepted the Wii U as a lost cause then it does make sense. I just wasn't under the impression that Nintendo was at that point yet.
I don't see how they couldn't be at least close to there with the Wind Waker Bundle, price cut and NSMBU/NSLU bundle, Super Mario 3D World etc. not producing any major increases in sales.
Oh I know it's dead sales wise and I personally believe it's failed. I just didn't think Nintendo had reached that point yet. When Mario Kart doesn't live up to expectations, I expect that they'll be there (if they aren't already which could be the case based on this release schedule). This could mean more Wii U games ported to 3DS to bolster revenue. They're already dumping all those GBA games onto Wii U in an effort to create some semblance of a release schedule since they have massive barren periods. Those games are perfect for 3DS so if they discontinue Wii U, they'll probably be able to port those over quickly. Just speculation.
What exactly makes the Wii U release "super" or "ultimate" other than HD graphics? All that we know right now is that it's the Zelda Wind Waker of Smash Bros games. Anyone saying that this will have significant new content is making that up. That was never said so unless they announce some significant exclusive content for the Wii U game, this is nothing but an HD port released after it's released for it's main platform. It's the kind of stuff that Sony would make Cross Buy.
Hopefully that would mean putting snes games on the 3ds as well.
you, you're playing against random people no matter how much you suck. The online community will die out pretty quickly with that kind of (non-existent) system. A few weeks after release it will only be experts on there.
Its the make or brake title. They have Namco helping them. I doubt it will get ''Delayed''. I think it will release on early December.
Well, I'm certainly willing to admit that they could have meant the holidays. In the past when they said something like Spring, they definitely meant the actual season. An example is Mario Kart 8 announced as Spring 2014 and later dated as May 30th. Wiif FIt U was announced as "Winter 2013" then the packaged goods were available on Jan 10th. I admit Wii Fit U isn't a good comparison for obvious reasons.
But will they buy the console for it and they don't already have a Wii U but have a 3DS? Especially if they buy the 3DS version at launch and are sick of it buy the time the Wii U version comes out. Clearly people who are Nintendo diehards to the extend that they own a Wii U and 3DS will probably buy both, that I agree with.
Do you honestly believe that they would make Smash Run an exclusive 3DS feature and have nothing exclusive for the WiiU version? We don't even have anywhere close to the full roster or the majority of the special features. Saying there's nothing exclusive to the WiiU version is foolhardy at the moment. They've probably announced, maybe, 25-30% of the game. The roster of the game is still way incomplete, there will definitely be double the stages, and we only have a handful of items/PokeBalls/Assist Trophies revealed.
Given that it's pretty damn easy to lose your connection via WiFi, I can understand it. I don't see anywhere where he said it was "neccessary."I love how they try to push you to buy a network adapter in that ND. It's like, hey we didn't stick this 10 cent connector on the mother board so we could save a few bucks so now you have to buy this $10 adapter from us! Yes there are 3rd party adapters out there, it's still pretty stupid that he basically said that it's necessary to play online and they didn't even make it part of the hardware.
Additionally, they said that online ranking will be too much work for them to implement so
While popularity figures into it, Sakurai has stated that many of the characters get in based on how interesting they can make their playstyle. Greninja is one of the most popular Kalos Pokemon and it advertises X/Y, so in he goes. As for Jigglypuff, Japan freaking LOVED Jigglypuff back in the Kanto days, but nowadays is staying around mostly because of tradition.
I don't understand how WiiFit Trainer fits in any less than Ice Climbers, Dr. Mario, Game & Watch, Pit, etc.
Oh don't get me wrong! Like I said, I could take it or leave it when it came to that character. I think it's neat, I may not have much interest in playing it, but it def fits. The only ones I have an issue with are the non-nintendo characters.
Someone likes big butts...Ken Sugimori created a picture for Greninja's entry:
Those 3 styles are far from generic. They easily could have been used for nintendo characters. For example if Chrom isn't in the game. Im sure people would prefer him to the sword mii style. That's IF he isn't in it. only time will tell.
Yeah it seems like you saw a different video than the rest of the world. Those are fleshed out move sets that are just as elaborate as any character. Nintendo even said they are just as capable as any existing character. Also it seems you cant grasp what im saying. Its more about the styles than the character model. Seems like 3 wasted movesets on mii when characters people want are going to be cut or looked over. Also you must have never played smash if you think those look like glorified WFF's. Lol! That's just a terrible example.
Just examples. Brawler could have easily been Blazekin, Swordsman could be Chrom & Gunner could be Protoman. All popular characters people want. Most of the moves shown are completely different from exsisting characters & we haven't seen all 36 mii special moves in motion (12 each class) so i find it funny that you can claim you know how all the brawler's moves look in motion plus their properties from a satic photo of them in the video. Making your assumption of the difficulty level of programming for said moves quite ridiculous too.
Yes Protoman would be a nice addition to the roster. You're in the minority of you think people would prefer mii gunner over proto, But I was giving examples of characters people would like over mii variants. Like I said in my first reply to you. If Chrom isn't in it i bet people will have a problem with mii swordsman being in instead. The same can be said about blazekin & brawler. Like i said before only time will tell.
