She would be a good candidate for Smash Bros.

ChickeyCantor5082d ago

ugh could you guys stop with that? I mean I hate how people try to mutate the "smash bros" to a "cross bros".

That being said, This game looked fun on the GBC/DSi. I should check it out.

PopRocks3595082d ago

Um. Shantae's first game was on the GBC. Her sequel is on DSiWare (granted it also went to iOS). And her latest iteration is going to be on Wii U.

She seems like a perfectly good contender for a 3rd party slot in Smash Bros. She has a lot of abilities that would make for interesting moves. And she's a girl; silly as it is to say, Smash Bros. is rather lacking in female characters.

ChickeyCantor5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

Not sure what you were trying to contradict, but I was talking about the Shantae franchise as a whole.

I don't care if she has many abilities. Ever since Sonic and Snake made the cut, people are trying to cram every damn character in there with the reason " it fits ". Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. People are just fapping to their own ideas on this. Most suggestions i've read were fully retarded and unfitting.

Nintendo has way more characters that can go in the smash roster. If people want a game with a "cross" roster. They should ask for a complete different game.

Edit:
This topic isn't even about smashbros, see how it gets out of hand?

Adding too many third party characters will take away the "spark" smash has. It's about Nintendo characters beating the living hell out of each other.

PopRocks3595082d ago

I wouldn't count Shantae as "every damn character." She's actually a very unique character that would fit pretty well in the Brawl universe (if one ignores her sizable baggage).

I'm with you on your complaints and concerns over character input for Smash Bros., but I've given it some thought and I think that Shantae would be a great inclusion, especially since her games thus far have been Nintendo exclusives up until the Risky's Revenge iOS port.

If you say so; I'm a "the more the merrier" kind of guy when it comes to the Smash Bros. rosters.

And wow, you're right! We did get off-topic lol.

mike1up5081d ago (Edited 5081d ago )

Unless the "you guys" that you are referring to is Namco, or Nintendo, that comment was pointless.

You should probably check out Smash Bros. Brawl too!

*spoiler*

Snake and Sonic are in it!

I've never played Shantae before, but was thisclose to downloading the DSi game. I was a couple of blocks short though, so my plan fell apart.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi82d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer83d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot83d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno83d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay83d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno81d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK82d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
