How Will Portability Affect Super Smash Brothers?

gamrFeed writes:-
"We don't know much about Super Smash Bros. 3DS or its partner software on the Wii U. Why? Because the game hasn't even really begun development yet! We do know two solid facts: the title will have some sort of connectivity between the hand-held and home console version and Nintendo is looking into the possibilities of transferring customizable player data between the two versions. With the creator of the Super Smash Bros. Series, Masahiro Sakurai, still wrapping up work on Kid Icarus: Uprising, this is probably the only information we will know for awhile. For now we can only speculate. The Super Smash Bros. Series has never seen any sort of release on a portable platform, so the team will be moving into semi-uncharted territory. The question is, how will the unique aspects of the portable market and its connectivity to the Wii U version change Super Smash Bros."

If Nintendo had released Smash Bros as a launch title..the 3DS would have done so much better saleswise.

I bet there are TONS of gamers out there waiting for a $300 3DS Lite Super Smash/Pokemon bundle.

Thecraft19895446d ago

IF the 3ds had any of the top nintendo franchise on launch it would been out of stock for months. Imagine they had released in November with Mario kart Zelda OT and Mario 64.

The only decent game so far is remake of amazing game but that's just it we played it 98 loved it and its still gets played but its just dose not have the magic to sell consoles.

TruthbeTold5446d ago

I'm not so sure there will be a 3DS lite. The 3DS is roughly the same size as the DS lite, and if anything a larger screen would be nice. I'd expect a 3DS XL but not a 3DS lite. It doesn't really need to be flatter, and a significantly larger screen won't fit on the current model size.

As for Smash Bros. as a pack in with a 3DS XL... It would be all the reason I need to hand down my 3DS to a friend and make another 3DS purchase. Nintendo... You evil bastards... XD

Technical World5445d ago

Yes there will be. The top and bottom screens could be bigger. They will add better speakers. They could trim some fat to make it fit nice in your pocket. A better camera. Not saying the 3DS needs these thing because I'm perfectly happy with the one I got at launch but Nintendo will find a reason to release a new one in a couple years. Not as soon as the DS Lite since the 3DS doesn't have a bad design unlike the original DS. (My Mario Kart Bundle DS looked like a Virtual Boy on steroids)

Doesn't matter what Smash 3DS will have.

The tournament players will choose "Fox,No Items,Final Destination" regardless of what the game adds.

rumplstilts5445d ago

Fox? Lol, get your head out of melee

DrRichtofen5446d ago

I think other developers should make their own type of "Super Smash Brothers" game. Think if Microsoft or Sony made their own using ...well their own characters it would be a blast. I remember all the hours I put in Melee, gosh that was a fun game.

Technical World5445d ago

Yeah but where's the creativity there? It would be fun but why wastes money on three different games that are really the same thing? If they mixed it up a bit like making it a 3D fighter instead of a 2.5D thing then that would be cool though.

DrRichtofen5445d ago

3D fighter? Thats a really cool idea! The more innovation the better.

rexbolt5445d ago

like power stone? and urgeess u don wth that games spelled it had ff ppl in it

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg44d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree44d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai44d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

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.

PRIMORDUS64d ago (Edited 64d 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.
