Nintendo's stubbornness and resistance to "getting with the times" is both the best and the worst thing about the company imo.
Hal Laboratory is not Nintendo though, they're second party. He left the company because he didn't want to create the same games anymore. Sakurai is still good friends with Iwata because they worked together at Hal Lab so they do have an arrangement on things for contract work and what-not. His first game under Sora Ltd. was Meteos on the DS and more as an independent.
He has free reign on how things work, he's a known control freak with game design and how he wants specific things to be. Kid Icarus: Uprising plays more like a Platinum game than a Nintendo game.
EDIT: Checking Wikipedia, it looks like Meteos was also released on XBLA.

Word! Never knew he was getting bullied on twitter.
Well this is his last smash and I wouldn't be surprised if Namco Bandai becomes the next house for smash (developer wise) but ill be 26+ and not really playing smash with the intention of figuring out the game and mechanics.
That's about the only thing that gets to me about them. I'd love for them to get with the times and not hold some of their games back. Ah well still love them.

Yeah Sakurai wanted brawl to be his last smash, Nintendo asked him again for smash 4 and he said yes. Im pretty sure I read that this is his last smash bros but don't quote me.
Well I mean wouldnt you come back to it if say it was Sakurailess and completely tweaked to the max to be as competitive viable as possible?
But I'm 26 right now, still playing Smash and just starting to learn about things. I think you'll be fine.
How are their games "held back"?

Hahaha yeah you guys are right but shiiiiit I wanna play a competitive (not melee lawd that game needs to go to sleep) now while I have hella free time on campus. Lets just hope for the best with smash 4.
Side note I need to start adding people for smash on my wii u, gaf halp me add southernsalmon , I need people to play with
C'mon Joe, you know what he means.
"Held back" as in "hands off" from a consumer perspective. Nintendo never takes user opinion on their games into consideration, only sales and "designer seniority." They also never release Betas.
They are also "held back" in terms of multiplayer options imo.
Well if we are talking about Smash actually listening to their fanbase and considering their opinions. Not completely following them of course but atleast considering them.

Genuinely don't understand this logic at all. Why shit on people for playing a game they prefer? Because it's old?
Seriously what.
I firmly believe that whenever someone starts capitulating to fans, be they games, films, tv series etc., that's when things start going down hill. Also, at the very least, they do consider fans, even with Smash. What they're not going to do is essentially repaint a 2001 title to capitulate to fans.
That's not a bad thing...
The problem with Sakurai is that he actually does listen to the fans. Unfortunately, the people catching his ear are the ones who complain about all the stuff the competitive players enjoy.

Oh by that I mean melee is getting old and we really really need a hd smash as our poster boy for the competitive scene. The game itself is great but my eyes cant look at melee anymore
. Also even if they release a hd melee, do we really want to see fox for another 13 years? KappaI'd go for the majority, which is not the competitively minded people.
That's not to say this can't be competitive, it certainly can. Hell, people probably said DI was horrible and horrific when discovered.
People just need to get used to it and stop wishing the games would be identical to their predecessors, but with more characters.
Since we're in the run up to the Smash launch I thought I'd change my wallpaper after what is probably a year and a half.
(Obviously, the wallpaper version is bigger than this)
She deserves to be in Smash

Honestly if mutiple big tournaments use a rule set everyone else just follows even if they dont like it. That cycle continues everytime rules are changed, people talk about it but nothing really happens, a big tournament uses that set of rules and people follow. For smash 4 for the next 6-8 months people are probably gunna go back and forth until something is set.

I don't think the changes the tournament crowd wants would have any significant impact on lower level play, so there isn't much harm in at least considering their feedback.

Really? Do you have more to this? I personally thought he wouldn't pay attention to the memes or tweets about him.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Has Masked Man or anyone translated the third set of challenges yet? I've completed the first and second set besides the StreetPass stuff.
This.
Also I don't think Vectoring is that bad, we'll see. So far I'm loving the game as someone on the competitive side of things
GameFAQs has the rest.

Was hoping that demo & retail copy can multiplayer together, but nope
That also has to do with it. Remember when everyone was going crazy about him posting a picture of the Monado for a music concert? People went nuts.

Yes, though ATs and Pokemon run at 30 fps.
Wow I just caught CT's video about the Smash 4 "Rage Effect"
I kinda like it. Rewards you for survival.

Do you have a link?
Awesome. Maybe that's why I'm winning much more at 100+% in the demo lol
Wow. I like it.

RAGE MODE activate.
I say hidden balance? Haha so cool that everyone has a pseudo aura effect.
Well that was just a simple example. Smash is a broad game so there are many areas for disagreements. I mean just look at the character requests.
Wario Ware is a handheld game though.
So I can go full on Hulk now? I'm in!
To be fair, Wario Ware also has games on the Gamecube and Wii (WiiU kinda with Game and Wario).

Is the new demo the same as the platinum member one (+the uses restriction), or has it more content?
Haha, more Smash lingo taken from Tekken. I hope this doesn't affect combos too much!
