[Cranzor]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I hope it turns out good. I don't think it can turn out bad with Sakurai involved.

 

[BY2K]

SMASH BROS for EVO!

 

[Dr.Hadji]

Never say never.

Whoa sir. Who are you.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Oh, maybe we might see Kalas. I guess. I remember many people want Kalas to be in SSBB.

 

[Amir0x]

Stop bragging about your poor taste.

shallow fighters are for shallow gamers, I play enjoy good 3D fighters like Virtua Fighter thx.

Smash Bros. is for my one nostalgic indulgence, Earthbound/Mother levels, characters and song remixes. Confirmed on back of the box: "Plus, really, we all know the reason to get this is to let Mother 1, 2 and 3 have their little moment in the sun, in a world that has rejected them mercilessly."

 

[XeroSauce]

I've made this argument myself in Smash threads in the past.

...but why else would they bring in Namco? By no means do I expect Nintendo to make it some completely hardcore game, because accessibility is a cornerstone of Smash. It may just be help to create an online infrastructure for instance, because Nintendo can't get that right themselves. Maybe they want the raw manpower or one of the two teams to be allocated to each platform? Sora for 3DS and Namco for Wii U makes sense.

I doubt Miyamoto would loosen his grip on what he thinks Smash should be..the project is probably just being held up by Sora and Namco while he does his thing.

 

[7Th]

Haruka confirmed for Brawl.

Nah, poor taste.

 

[Seik]

YES!!!

 

[BassForever]

Tales characters in Smash DO WANT!

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Yuri playable please.

DO IT!!!

 

[Amir0x]

Nah, poor taste.

i don't know I'm sure there's an item that can be dropped for crappy gamers as they fiddle through their comically tiny move list to help you win the thread spar for taste.

kiddie pool depth: it's the new olympic standard

Of course, Smash Bros. fans have way more on their mind than my meddling opinions. I mean, Namco. Good luck bros.

 

[Syph Medwes]

System seller

It already was

 

[Weenerz]

Scamco will release game with 4 characters and 1 stage, the rest are dlc at launch.

 

[iavi]

Holy shit. I never thought Yuri might actually have a chance at being playable in Smash.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Undead Parish as a stage plz.

 

[DR2K]

Is the director is still the same then it doesn't matter how talented the team is.

 

[Professor Beef]

Where did the Namco hate come from all of a sudden?

 

[enzo_gt]

Yeah I think fears of it not being Smash anymore are silly. It'll definitely be Smash, they're not gonna make it into Tekken or SCV or even DLC whore it out. It's ultimately still a Nintendo game at the end of the day.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Also before more people request Naruto and anime characters, the two rules for a character's inclusion are "has to have originated from a video game" and "has to have appeared on a Nintendo console".

Naruto has been on 3DS and Wii.

 

[ezekial45]

Interesting. I'm assuming that this is going to be similar to Nintendo and Game Arts' collaboration on Brawl. The difference being that Namco Bandai is much higher profile.

 

[Azure J]

shallow fighters are for shallow gamers

Classy.

 

[Knux-Future]

Holy shit. I never thought Yuri might actually have a chance at being playable in Smash.

Lloyd is the only choice.

His game was on the gamecube.

 

[Lingitiz]

So looks like Nintendo wants that Wii U Smash out late 2013/early 2014. If Project Sora works on it alone we wouldn't see it for another 3 years possibly.

 

[Takao]

Naruto has been on 3DS and Wii.

Namco Bandai has never published a Naruto game on Nintendo hardware. Never.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Lloyd is the only choice.

His game was on the gamecube.

Exactly. It could be Kalas, as well.

 

[SolarPowered]

heh, i'm not the only one that though "shit, SSB4 ruined" after reading the title.

If Brawl didn't ruin Super Smash Bros for you then nothing will.

 

[ezekial45]

Why the hell didn't they announce this at E3?

 

[TreIII]

Does this mean wave dashing will return? :lol

 

[Knux-Future]

Namco is probably here for there next gen experience.

Their games look pretty damn good.

Plus their fighters are quality.

Not sure why dudes are mad over this.

It's not like it's by Namco only. Sakurai and his dudes are here too

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I want Square and Cloud, dammit.

...Then Link would be forced to get a new Final Smash that doesn't rip off Clouds...

 

[fates]

Lloyd is the only choice.

His game was on the gamecube.

don't forget Tales of Phantasia. It was a SNES game originally, and started the series.

 

[Red Arremer]

I don't get the Brawl hate. It was a good game. Just not a good competitive game. :|

I want Square and Cloud, dammit.

...Then Link would be forced to get a new Final Smash that doesn't rip off Clouds...

No. NO. No FF7. GTFO.

 

[Instro]

Interesting collaboration. I assume this is due in part to the overall staff needs of the project, considering how Brawl was developed.

 

[Einbroch]

More likely. I can see Llyod happening.

But Lloyd sucks.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Smash X Tekken

Heihachi vs. Jigglypuff.

I'm sold.

 

[Solune]

HOLY SHIT

 

[Emitan]

Why the hell didn't they announce this at E3?

E3 was for 2012 games.

 

[Professor Beef]

Why the hell didn't they announce this at E3?

Nintendoland. You really thought there would be something tangible to announce at E3? The ink probably wasn't even dry on the early sketches.

 

[Red Arremer]

Smash X Tekken

Heihachi vs. Jigglypuff.

I'm sold.

The glory.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Namco is probably here for there next gen experience.

Their games look pretty damn good.

Plus their fighters are quality.

Not sure why dudes are mad over this.

It's not like it's by Namco only. Sakurai and his dudes are here too

A lot of people here probably don't realise this is what happened with Brawl and Kid Icarus, just with smaller companies.

 

[Kyon]

is it NAMCO GAMES or CYBERCONNECT?

 

[Einbroch]

E3 was for 2011/2012 games.

Fixed.

 

[Emitan]

Fixed.

Hahahahaha

 

[enzo_gt]

Smash X Tekken

Heihachi vs. Jigglypuff.

I'm sold.

One degree away from Nintendo X Capcom, so I support this.

 

[Magnus]

Is this Layton game new?

 

[enzo_gt]

They're repeating the Smash info on the NoA stream right now. Nothing new, but supposodly a message from Sakurai is up on Nintendo.com now. Anyone got a link?

 

[Emitan]

Is this Layton game new?

Launch title in Japan lol

 

[Thoraxes]

Woah what the fuuuuuuck

Huge.

 

[Jezan]

D:
So we will have to pay for all characters now?

Sakurai please keep this undercontrooool!

Exactly. It could be Kalas, as well.

Please Kalas or Savyna! (wait they are not even Namco's :O)
