    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    It has me curious since I definitely recall reading that as well at the time, my best guess is that it's this interview from the Rockman 11 Production Note Book. There was a translation for it, but they appear to have deleted their account, so makes sense it couldn't be found by searching...

    I feel like I remember which quote you're talking about, looking it up, is it this one? On the topic, I think even in the confines of the NES depiction, Mega Man should be much more expressive. In this OVA, Mega Man is very deliberately drawn based on the classic Inafune-style art which was...

    I think what would make the most sense (from the perspective of someone living across the planet who doesn't know anything about the internal mechanics of Smash's development lol) is Sakurai having an assistant director on the next game which would allow it to essentially be a kind of training...

    I'm just reminded of how in Astro's Playroom, every single PlayStation IP featured was represented by an Astro Bot version of the main character or characters (or alternatively actual footage of the game being played), dressed in their clothes and with their distinct traits/weaponry, and how...

    I would think the director would need to at the very least have significant experience with developing multiplayer-focused titles, and should ideally have experience with fighting games. Kumazaki was general director on Kirby Fighters 2, which is a fun game, but certainly way smaller in scope...

    To an extent I wonder if the long as **** wait for Pikmin 4 kinda mythologised it to an extent and helped bring up some of the anticipation and marketing. Either way, Pikmin 4 didn't like blow the entire world away but it obviously did good, 3.5 mil is nothing to sneeze at, so it feels in a...

    This just reminds me that Warioware is one of the series portals on the Japanese Nintendo website, and has been for a while. They keep making the games, so clearly they see something in them lol. I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see Ashley get in. On the topic, I would say it's really...

    Triple Triad/Gwent/Queen's Blood with the trophy-equivalents sounds like it could be fun, I'd be a lot more interested in that as a practical use for collectibles as opposed to enhancements. I feel like the issue is that being pretty at odds with the rest of Smash's gameplay, there's a reason...

    There are multiple spirit matches with more unique conditions, like the Jiggy spirit for example. It's mostly just that there are a gazillion spirits and 99% of them are just defeating the opposing fighter in a direct battle, so the amount of weirder spirits is comparitively less. I would also...

    I think Spirits are basically more fun and diverse event matches and are a perfectly good replacement for that mode, but don't satisfy the role of replacing trophies. PNGs are obviously inherently gonna be less cool, but as people have said countless times, I really wish there was descriptions...

    I think if Smash was made today it would just have a Mario Kart roster basically. Inkling, Link, and Isabelle/Villager are already the guests in Mario Kart 8. I think it would just be like, most of the Mario characters in Smash + Toad, and then Link, Isabelle, Villager, Inkling, Kirby, Mii...

    I think Amitie could work as an echo depending on how Arle ends up, and it would be nice to represent a Puyo character from a later generation. If she's mostly Puyos then they have similar powers and their animations could be the same. If Carbuncle is more of an aesthetic role it could work, but...

    I'm pretty sure evidence suggests that isn't true for everything Warriors related. Every single time a Warriors game or content from it is referenced by Nintendo, Koei Tecmo is listed under the copyright, including in Smash itself with the AOC spirits. When the Fire Emblem Chrom and Tiki amiibo...

    There's only one character to add if you're considering another jigglypilled puffmaxxer.
