I used to get excited at the sight of these topics. Now I read them and get disgusted, frustrated, and angry. What happened?
Smash 4? Why not a new Smash? Why do people want remakes? Where is the community going? |
It's the fastest route to getting Smash Bros. on the Switch and Smash 4 is already *ahem* smashing with content and incredible fanfare that would make any gamer wet him/herself.
The community generally feels that Smash Wii U in particular had its legs cut short, and find it quite a shame since it's nearly unanimously agreed that out of the two versions, the Wii U one is the superior, definitive verison (though Smash 3DS has its' pros as well).
Meanwhile, a brand new Smash Bros. game from scratch would be at least 3-4 years of development and resources if they started today, that puts Smash 5 at around 2020/2021, and I don't think the community doesn't want to wait that long for a new Smash Bros. on the Switch. At that point, Switch 2 would be looming so, Nintendo might even push it even further back to meet the launch of that system.
Additionally, developing and directing Smash 4 took a huge toll on Sakurai, the man was in a sling, working with one arm trying to develop the game. So it's understandable if he's quite burned out and not particularly eager to get back on the helm for a new Smash Bros. just yet.
Thus, porting the latest version that everyone still clearly cares about makes the most logical and efficient sense. It clearly worked with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. So

Smash 4 is on Wii U and 3DS. It is literally on both a home console and a handheld already. Asking for it a third time is just stupid. If there were so many good Wii U titles worth porting, the why the fuck wouldn't people just buy a Wii U? Ughhhhh.
Regardless, I do not want two Smash titles on one console just as I do not want two Mario Kart titles on one console. One title is enough to last four or five years - a generation. Smash 4 is finished at this point. I do not want one out tomorrow, I already have one to play right now. Get me a new one with that Smash quality. I can wait and so can you.
