I did, but turned it off before the score. It takes a while for that 5/5 to load in. Seemed to be stuck on 2.5 for a while, oddly. Guess there was an issue with the loading graphics.
I'll take a delay of it now just for hats.
Kyle will be like TF2.
There are a couple reasons I think it's a lock, but the simplest is: their paid online strategy makes no sense if Smash isn't imminent. They don't have enough online franchises to not have all hands on deck from the start.
Unless they have an MMO in the works!
...
Yeah, your version is more likely.
A port would just be bizarre. It's crazy to me that fans are even entertaining that idea.
It takes 3-4 years to make Smash and Sakurai likes his breaks from the game. Farming a port out to BandaiNamco as rumoured and then get another Smash down the line isn't the worst idea in the world.
port absolutely makes sense. cheap, easy to make, and heaps of people havent played it. i think they should turn it into a service where they just add new characters and stages and modes as opposed to making a completely 'new' game every 5 years or whatever.
Yeah, bring the 3DS and Wii U modes together, throw another mode in and call it a day. Maybe maps and characters if they want to make it a platform for the Switches life, or just slap it on the system and make a new one later.
I'll have Smash 4 on Switch with more characters and stages if that's what it takes for it to be out next year. Tbh I don't really know what else I would want from Smash after 4... Though I'm not very competitive, more into it for the social/party game aspect.
Let Sakurai have a holiday you monster :( and I don't want a Smash without him... Yet.
This should be the Smash where he's involved, but he starts handing it over.
Right. If a MK8 port makes sense, and by sales it clearly did, a Smash 4 port is slam-dunk obvious. It's already out on 2 platforms, why not 3? The current "definitive" version -- which isn't even really definitive, since the 3DS version has the best single player mode -- is for a console nobody owns. For all the talk about how it's a shame that DKTF/Mario Maker/Bayonetta 2/etc are stranded on the Wii U, it'd be a travesty if Smash 4 of all games was left to languish on that system.
And then there's this:
More specifically, Sakurai literally almost kills himself from overwork every time he makes a Smash, and usually swears off ever making another one again. Given his age, a Sakurai-led Smash 5 may simply never happen. Which, tbh, I'd be fine with. 4 and Melee are both timeless in their own way, IMO. (Melee HD would be my dream followup to a Smash 4 Switch)
I think the key is that most people didn't even buy a Wii U, let alone Smash 4 for it (I know there's the 3DS version too but I don't think it's suited to that system), so it makes sense for NIntendo to bring it back now that they don't have a system that actively sabotages their software sales.
Oof. That Sonic Forces score. But it sounds completely deserved from what I've seen and read about the game.
Red Eagles are like Ultima Brad. Someone has to take them down.
Also wow 100 reviews in a bit less than 2 years of existence that's pretty insane.

Yeah, it's a real shame. I was hoping that it would be decent. At least we got Sonic Mania this year.
Yeah, I'm happy we got Mania this year, too. Hopefully we get more 2D Sonic games from that team.
Just finished another great D&D patron session. So much fun! This is my first time really playing serious D&D in forever. The group is great and it's such a ton of fun
Leave a comment on the Patreon post for the most recent episode.
if Mario Kart 8 DX wasn't a thing I'd totally agree with you.
like, it'd been three years. they should have had Mario Kart 9 ready, but no, they released a port with two new things and it sold really really well.
Smash 4 DX is happening
The only one that shows up in the app is the Audio Only post. Is that the one to use?
No, the app is bugged and doesn't show any livestream posts. You have to access it via browser.

Blood teased tonight's easy update will blow some minds.
My prediction is they brought back Opinion Yell!

It was part of a partnership deal, and it just wasn't working out for a number of reasons.
I don't think Smash 4's gameplay can hold a candle to 64 and Melee, so that's why I don't personally care for a port despite it making sense financially.
Controversial opinion I guess: I hope they go back to basics and make significant changes to the game. No auto ledge snaps, bring back knocking enemies off platforms while they're shielding, include landing lag cancels, more hitstun, single use air dodge (although I'd prefer removing dodges in general), etc.
Smash 4 is a great package with the best character selection in the series (stage selection needs improvements), but if the gameplay doesn't feel right then it doesn't matter much.
Yeah, Smash 4 is my favourite for sure. If they kept that gameplay but changed the dressing, I guess I wouldn't mind too much.
I understand people feel this way, and -- while I disagree -- I think it's the simplest argument for making Melee HD as the next Smash release (post the port/definitive version of 4). Call it Smash Classic or whatever.
At this point, Smash is a big enough franchise to support two versions at once. And the competitive scene for Melee is freaking legit, so Nintendo should lean into that. Better late than never
Seems like that's still Smash 4 no matter how we slice it, though? I guess they could call it "Smash 5" if they want, but "Smash 4 Switch" is a the right name for that game IMO. (In particular because they will just call it "Super Smash Bros for Switch")
Bosman is a Yankees' and Giants fan? Boo. I'd like to see if Bosman and Huber ever discussed the WS. I bet Huber was hearbroken when our Dodgers lost.
Smash 4 with Subspace emissary + Adventure Mode and a few more minigames and I'm cool. Perfect Smash game
I mean Call of Duty isn't "Call of Duty Remastered: Advanced Warfare Edition" every year. I don't think most series have a new engine for every single game
I want Smash 5 rather than a port because I want the full Smash hype cycle. The slow trickle of included/excluded characters, new stages, new model, etc. It's not nearly as exciting if we know 95% of the content for sure off the bat. I'm still hoping for better single player modes and I feel like that's less likely to be included in a port.
Smash games do, though. (e: disclaimer: I'm not familiar with the 64 -> Melee transition enough to know if it was a full rewrite or if there was some carry over)
Though I suppose it's possible -- maybe even probable -- that 4 will be the last version of the engine for a long time. If they go that direction (Sakurai handing off the series, for example), calling it "5" wouldn't be that shocking.
tbh, I don't want Smash 5 yet, because Smash 4 deserves better than it got.
Agreed on better single player modes, but I wouldn't be shocked if something of that made it into a Smash 4 Switch. The 3DS version already a has better single player mode (Smash Run) than anything in the Wii U release.
