| JGarcia050 said: I was thinking about what the next Smash Bros game would be like and how they can improve it. I think Ultimate is pretty dang perfect, outside of online features. If they were to create a Smash Bros. Ultimate: Switch 2 Version and improve the online features (rankings, stats, etc...), accessibility (easier and more match-making options with friends), minor graphical and performance upgrades, I think that would be a home run! Maybe add a character here and there... I think that's all I'd really need out of a "new" Smash game. Maybe add some more single player content? (although I don't play much single player when playing Smash) What do you guys want to see from the next Smash game? |
I mean for a new Smash game that would obviously be hugely disappointing, because it wouldn't be a new Smash game, just a "Deluxe" port. Like the other Switch 2 versions of Switch games, it'd just be something Nintendo would charge an extra $10 for if you already have the game to play a slightly upgraded Switch 2 version.
But as to what to actually do with Smash now, I think that is the biggest open question out of all Nintendo's franchises. I don't see them topping Smash, as it really was the Ultimate version of what the series had been working towards the whole time. Sure they could always put out a new Smash with a better single player campaign, but the main part of the game (the fights) isn't gonna outdo Ultimate in terms of content and well the gameplay is largely the same from game to game so that won't really be any different either, and even if they tried to outdo it content-wise it'd feel like they are just putting Ultimate out again with a few things added.
The only thing that I can even think of that makes any sense is to just make a Smash Online that is only available through the NSO Expansion Pack. And they can just continually add to it over the years. But in terms of finances, I don't see how that would be more profitable than selling a $70 Smash game to tens of millions of people, but since I don't see how they outdo Smash Ultimate, a Smash Online game that can continually evolve not just through the years but across generations feels like best option. Only other thing I can think of is totally changing up the fighting gameplay in Smash but then everyone would hate it simply for not being Smash Bros anymore.
