Forums - Nintendo - Newcomers in SSB for WiiU! Lucina!!! Robin!!! and Captain Falcon Returns! 4 FE Reps and No Shulk :0

That was freaking awesome. It was actually worth trudging through 13 months of fans whining about Captain Falcon being cut to see him get the reveal he deserved.

I was surprised it wasn't Shulk, but I'm happy to be surprised, and Robin looks great. A bit confused as to Lucina's status. Clone? Alt?

...Dude, have you even seen the trailer? Sure Lucina is a lot like Marth, but Robin is nothing like the two. He could be a unique character in his own right.


Saw it earlier, and while Robin is not an exact clone it plays way similar. Lucina is a clone.

And before we go back in a circle, I belive Zelda and Sheik must be one as Melee, child/toon Link is useless and Ganondorf plays as C. Falcon.

It's almost like people react to things differently. Which BTW renders words like Zelda-cycle misleading and useless.

It doesn't.

Majora's Mask get the love it deserves throught years and people have already claimed how they have changed their mind.

When it was new, they probably didn't see how much worse the series would get since then.
Also, I know people who hate that game with a passion to this day.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Same can apply to OoT, WW and TP, which does not change the general perception of a Zelda cycle.

Aonuma, Iwata and Nintendo aknowledges this. This is not my fantasy, is a reality even them know:

Aonuma

There’s a “Zelda cycle.”

Iwata

Yes. Bill Trinen-san12 at Nintendo of America—who always plays a big role in preparing the overseas versions of The Legend of Zelda games—always talks about the Zelda cycle.12. Bill Trinen: Product Marketing Director, Nintendo of America.

Aonuma

Basically, as time progresses, negative opinions about The Legend of Zelda turn into positive ones. At first, I wasn’t sure about that, but seeing the response to The Wind Waker HD, I think it may be right.

Iwata

And it isn’t restricted to The Wind Waker. Every time a new Zelda title comes out, there’s no shortage of negative opinions, but a year or two later, people are revising their opinions, and its reputation goes up.

Aonuma

The response of fans in North America was like that for The Wind Waker. When we first announced the original version in 2001, the majority of voices we heard were against it. However, the responses for the Nintendo Direct13 we aired in January were incredibly favorable. Also at the Nintendo Experience event at Best Buy14 which was held at the same time as this year’s E315, a lot of people lined up in front of the single demo station for The Wind Waker HD in each store, saying they really wanted to play it.

The more plausible argument is that, after a decade and a half, the people who love the game (like me) continue to sing its praises, while the folks who didn't largely stopped caring. "Vocal minority" isn't exactly a new or unmeasured phenomon.

I find it really funny/sad how an important villan like Ganon is just a clone in Smash...

I know, and that's why Ghirahim could have a more interesting moveset.

I believe in this case less is more. Oh well, at least we have better and more interesting newcomers as Megaman, Pacman, Villager and Little Mac.

Robin could be like Olimar in a way actually. In the trailer he said he ran out of spells. If he isn't like olimar, I'd say he's unique.



Here's a thought. What if Nintendo makes a DLC level for Awakening starring Captain Falcon?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
