Nintendo has little-to-no control over what Game Freak does. And as stated before, Game Freak likes to take their sweet time in adopting new hardware. Not to mention that they never do a sequel game for an existing generation on a platform different from the one the generation started on (GB for Yellow, GBC for Crystal, GBA for Emerald, DS for Platinum & Black 2/White 2). Pokémon Z is most likely gonna be a 3DS exclusive.
Must have been either your connection or your opponent's. Rollback netcode actually allows you to react to people as you would in a local match, whereas delay-based netcode is more about predicting your opponent's next move. That's not to say that Smash 4's netcode is bad, but it could use some improvements. Moving towards a rollback system could certainly help with that.
This is good news.
The NX Platform may end up opting for cartridges along the lines of those used on the 3DS rather than discs, not to mention Nintendo discarding the PowerPC architecture. So the odds of Wii U BC for the NX Console are quite slim. 3DS BC is another story, but that'd require the NX Handheld to have two screens.

I don't see that. This is covering for the inability to deliver a new SSB on a new console for a very long time.

Well, I had several bad experiences with international players (mostly Brazilians) with rollback net codes. It was like fast flash-forward the battles sometime which messed up the matches for me.
It was extreme rare for me to have matches WITH super bad lags for 1 vs. 1. I guess I'm very lucky.

The worst part is I have an extremely strong feeling this is what's happening.

SUPER Smash Bros Brawl remastered! ? :O
And there it is.
If they're gonna go out of their way to get old controllers to work, it'd probably be for the GameCube Adapter since it's the most essential for competitive Smash, especially given Nintendo's strides towards legitimizing Smash 4 in the FGC.
Definitely not the NX Handheld. But if Nintendo wants any kind of competitive future for Smash 4 & they want to add anything significant to the NX Platform version (which I'm not sure if they will), they better have the NX Console support the GameCube Adapter. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if the FGC just sticks with the Wii U version & disregards any extras that the NX version has.

Oooooohhhhh. This....this is good.
But the problem is that Sakurai is probably gonna move onto another project, leaving the NX Platform without a new Smash game for 5 or so years. Not to mention that if they started from scratch now, that'd be a waste of the shit-tons of effort put into this roster.
And when they do a new one you'll be yelling about, "WHERE'S CLOUD!? WHERE'S PALUTENA!? WHERE'S WHATEVER CHARACTER I CARE ABOUT HERE!?" because a brand new Smash would mean a huge, huge cut down on the size of the roster. They cannot feasibly get all 58 of those characters back in a new game. And nobody would play a Smash game with a roaster less than Smash 4 2-3 years after it's been out.
If the NX is successful there's no way it won't get an original Smash one day. This rumored port wouldn't change that.

Eh, I think Smash 4 roster is already perfect (for me at least) so I don't really mind it much because I don't really want to see any characters getting cut. It's best solution to save the development times and budgets but I do ponder if they are going to add anything to the game or just leave it as it is.
This year is going to be very interesting year.

The last time that Nintendo considered rereleasing a Smash game, it was in place of making a new one. I honestly expect that this, if real, will probably be the only Smash game for NX.

This so hard, but I'm not holding my breath for the second bullet.

Xbox One will be backwards compatible with Halo CEA, Halo 3, Halo 4, and ODST. Master Chief Collection deconfirmed?
For what it's worth, Iwata planned to release an enhanced port of Melee on the Wii for launch if Sakurai couldn't be persuaded to develop Brawl. This would basically be that exact situation, just two generations later.

Because having an NX version at all introduces logistical issues.
No, it's not.
Many people would like to play wii-u games without investing in an already dead console
less games isn't good news lol
I have no personal interest in the Smash series, but I'm expecting, and glad to be expecting, that several Wii U titles will make it to the NX. It's not going to 'take away' from anything - new games, Nintendo core team resources, but it's going to get some very key, critically and fan lauded Wii U titles a new audience with ports that are likely a matter of formality considering the likelihood that the NX handheld produced 'Wii U-like' graphics.
I can see the current iteration of smash almost becoming a service pvp game like LoL or Overwatch.
It's good news in that the assumption that there would be major compromises in system architecture to keep bc.

Or it just means that they want an updated HD version of the most core gamer hyped Nintendo game at the launch of the console. Amazing news if true!
And Atlus.
Sorry lads, but as much as I'd love to have WiiU BC, I'm with AfroDust. It's high time NCL stepped the fuck away from that archaic, exotic hardware architecture. No need for compromises with the new hardware.
ah yeah, very true.
if they don't add characters, i assume they will make use of the nx's main feature in some way.

I feel we need a new Ridge Racer game. They used to be the staple of a console launch yet they've faded away. Please let there be Ridge Racer

What if the NX cards are similar enough in size and shape that, like the GBA/GBC slot and DS/3DS backwards compatibility, you can pop one into the NX and play 3DS games on the NX, using the rumored screen controller as the second screen?
DUN DUN DUNNN
I shit you not, I will be happy with these 4 characters alone. Hell, even without Chorus Kids (who I would love to have, Rhythm Heaven is great!), just Inkling, Wolf, and Ice Climbers will make me very happy.
Yeah, that's pretty much the ones Nintendo has a chance of getting some level of support from, at least initially. The only other Japanese third party supporter could be Tecmo Koei.

Sega too, I would say.
Man, a lot of unnecessary pessimism in this thread.
Why wouldn't they add new characters??
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U took roughly ~2 years and 7 months to develop. And that's making the game from scratch, making two versions of the game on systems that are not easy to share code between, put in a shit ton of content including 13 brand new characters and a fuckton of stages, etc.
This game is presumably going to be in development for ~9 months and will almost definitely use Smash Wii U as a base, which saves a BUNCH of time right there. No need to re-do any of the veterans from scratch, no new assets, game engine is already ready to go, etc. 9 months is PLENTY of time to at least add a few characters at the bare minimum, though I expect more than that. And I'd wager they were simultaneously developing this NX version alongside the DLC for the Wii U / 3DS versions so that's even more development time.

I would include Level-5 too given its huge success on DS and 3DS platforms.

I like this rumor. Nintendo needs to round up every Japanese developer and get them making games on the NX. They should outsource all of their major franchises to them with Nintendo supervision so these games can only appear on the NX. I want to see FZero, Punchout, Animal Crossing, Earthbound, Metroid, and more. While these franchises are being made, Nintendo needs to go crazy with creating new ideas and franchises. Nintendo's problem has always been not enough software. Who wouldn't want to make a Nintendo game? 2 games per year is just not going to cut it. Nintendo can't do this alone.
Pete who dont own the wiiu should then be happy about ports..? And if the amount of interesting games on wiiu is significant enough to gear that they will not port all the worthy games, isn't the wiiu worth for it Self?
nintendo publishes about 20 games a year.
