Guys ... seriously? Ugh. I can't believe i'm going to say this, as someone who was adamantly against a port of Smash 4 being released, but this has gone too far. You guys are focusing too much on a title at this point. I've never seen a game before where a discussion about a "new game" or a "updated port" has been so much based around semantics and not actual legitimate discussion.

Why don't we just evaluate the worth of the game as a game. Let's see how much ORIGINAL, NEW content is provided. And if it's not enough for you? So be it. If it is? Great for you then. Don't get caught up so much in a title. When I was against a port coming to Switch, it was only with the context of what most ports (yes, even upgraded ports) entail. Now, this game has shown me quite a few extra goodies, and I'm willing to ride it out and see what the game has to offer before seeing if it's worth it for me or not. Is that really so hard?

Basically this.

I just ask those that are vehement about it being a port. What does this game not offer that you wanted in a new game?

It has seemingly every stage ever created, ever character ever created. Lighting, graphics, shadows, levels, ect all have been improved. Characters have been tweaked, new fighting mechanics implemented or brought back from earlier games. There are also NEW characters/fightrer and new stages. Amiibo all work, online, 60 fps, 1080p, ect.

So please enlighten me as to what it is that this game doesn't do that makes it not a new game?

A port.

I don't see any port, just a river in the background. I suppose there could be a port near the castle, but I'm not seeing any evidence of one.



Around the Network

As much as I like rolling in sweet sweet VG Points, I think this thread has run its course. People have stated their viewpoints and it looks like nobody is going to change their minds no matter which side of the argument they are on. I'll file this one in the same folder as the Switch is a console or handheld debate.

* Last note, Princess Peach's Castle looks gorgeous in Smash Ultimate *
