I'm already considering Bayo confirmed. Nintendo's fucking out of it if she isn't.What's more likely to get a rep Xenoblade X or Xenoblade 2?
Why do you think there's "no way" the other are coming back? Even Bayonetta who has a new game exclusive to Nintendo?
Are you saying that the different Mario Karts dont play differently?
What would be the difference between a DX port and a new game for you then?
and Elma will just summon her Verus as her Final Smash, yah?It'll be both. Pyra and Mythra will be able to switch with each other and thus change Rex's element, just like in XC2.
The difference between a port and a new game would be a new physics engine. If the keep the smash 4 engine then its a port, if not its a new game.

Mario Kart 9 and 10? Are you posting from 2030?Are you saying that the different Mario Karts dont play differently?
I feel like it's more Sakurai's style to make them part of the Inkopolis stage. But we'll see.Squiddo suggested in another thread that the Inklings could include alts of Callie, Marie, Pearl and Marina. That's brilliant!
Well the trailer was nothing like the announcement trailers of past games. It was like one of the newcomer trailers from 4 and the Direct was filled to the brim with ports and remakes. Until they flat out say it's a new game I'm going to assume it's a port.
No, Majora's Mask is a port of Super Mario 64 since it and OoT share the same engine.So Majora's Mask is a port of Ocarina of Time?
This is incredible logic.
Yea, a port would have had a different structure. It likely would have started with something like Mewtwo vs Greninja, to show off it having all DLC, and then move onto the new comer.I'm in the camp of "more than a port, less than a from-scratch game." I think it's going to have more new content than just a couple of characters and it will be considered the next mainline game. Too much time has been spent on it to be just a port, I think.
Also, I feel like the reveal would've been different for a port of Smash 4. Like, they would've opened with Mario and Link and co. and then had the Inklings crash the party as a surprise near the end of the trailer.
I'm holding out hope that they're going to pull a Project M with this and give us Melee's airdodging mechanics. Mostly cause of that comparison shot between the Melee and Smash Switch logos someone made upthread.They would be foolish to throw the engine away and start again ala melee/brawl etc. but i hope it's as new as can be other than that
Bayo has gotta be in it she's practically first party atm
People have been thinking it would be a port for months and we didn't get any new information today, other than Link having a BOTW design
*Sakurai walks on stage*Ah man, people are already going on with that "who are they going to cut" garbage?
They should cut FE characters to make room for the new ones
Haha
This comparison might be apt. Not sure if it still is.Would describing it as being akin to Mario Tennis Aces (where it is very much building on top of Ultra Smash) be accurate?
We never had a Mario Kart port before either.We have never had a smash port before and there is absolutely no reason to think we will start now.

Define new
It's not a port of the Wii U game
It's not a completely fresh start, either
In terms of branding it's probably going to be referred to as a sequel
That is just insanity. Almost no sequels ever use new engines. 90% of the sequels being made today are ports by your definition.The difference between a port and a new game would be a new physics engine. If the keep the smash 4 engine then its a port, if not its a new game.
Well if you didn't buy the Mario Kart 8 DLC, MK8DX would have new music, new menus, new characters, a new battle mode, new race tracks. If you did buy the DLC it would still have new music, a new menu, a new battle mode, and new characters.So, let's get this through.
The game has completely new music, completely new menus, characters have been added and substracted while being given new or altered movesets, completely different modes, online system and stages plus upgraded SSB4 graphics. The game is basically completely unrecognizable apart from the fact it has the same physics engine and a similar artstyle.
That's still a port?
I agree.And what if they tweak the engine?
New characters, stages, items, costumes, and music, along with a tweaked engine, would constitute Smash 5 in my opinion.
I was sort of confused haha, I haven't played Mortal Kombat.Mortal Kombat, unless you think there's a Mario Kart 9 and X I'm not aware of.
Maybe engine isn't the right word, but I mean how Melee and Brawl play completely differently.That is just insanity. Almost no sequels ever use new engines. 90% of the sequels being made today are ports by your definition.
It'll be K. Rool. I thought he was a long shot for Smash 4, but the fact that they went out of their way to give him a Mii costume—based on his old design, no less—means they've acknowledged his popularity. Dixie would be nice too, but I'll take what I can get at this point.
If it's not a port of the Wii U version there's no way this will come out in 2018
Like whatSo it's gonna be built on top of Smash 4.
Like a 4.5.
Like what Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is to Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Divine Beast Vah Naboris map where Thunderblight Ganon is a stage Hazard who kicks everyone's ass.So what's the BoTW stage going to be like? Hyrule field or maybe on top of the flying divine beast? Maybe a small version of the great plateau?
I'm guessing we'll be getting New Donk City too.
In an ideal world we'd get both K. Rool and Dixie in order to make up for no DK newcomers in Smash 4.It'll be K. Rool. I thought he was a long shot for Smash 4, but the fact that they went out of their way to give him a Mii costume—based on his old design, no less—means they've acknowledged his popularity. Dixie would be nice too, but I'll take what I can get at this point.
It was clearly labeled a couple months later when it was shown off at the Switch presentation. When it was first shown off they showed the new item system, some new characters, and a single track leaving people confused on whether it was a port or MK9.And when we got one, it was clearly labeled as such.
It didn't have zero footage and a placeholder title.
Like what
Overlord II
Sonic 2
Splatoon 2
Majora's Mask
and almost every other sequel in video game history is to the previous game in the series
jesus why do people only act this way with Nintendo games
If anything, I could see Mega Man & Ryu being updated to their MM11 & SFV (respectively) incarnations. Hell, throw in Hot Ryu as an alternate costume for Ryu.I think Sonic, Bayo, Megaman, Pacman and Ryu are here to stay. Nintendo has a really close relationship with Sega, Platinum, Bandai Namco and Capcpom.
This been posted yet? A video of the crowd reaction from the Nintendo NY Store.
I mean they basically copied Brawl's engine into Smash 4 and retooled it plus had a bunch of carryover material (at one point some demo footage of Smash 4 still showed Diddy Kong having his Brawl portrait) so I don't think even that game had an engine that was built from scratch. It doesn't need to be to be a sequel.this is gonna be Splatoon 1 vs Splatoon 2 all over again over what constitutes a sequel. pretty much all the non-single player content is back in Splatoon 2 with some mechanical/design tweaks, but it's still called a sequel. this Smash is probably gonna be the same way unless they decide to move engines
