You're missing: "it's very important, small effect on sales" as it's a win in my and many eyes. If you crap on the legacy systems and games preservation, you might be the king, but you're not worthy. The Denethor II of gaming.
Is legacy content important for a console's success? | |||

It is important, noticable effect on sales. | 14 | 19.72% | |
Not very important, small effect on sales. | 38 | 53.52% | |
Not important at all, lit... | 15 | 21.13% | |
Total: | 71 |

I don't care I don't have a "cause". It's my opinion having played both games and being a heavy player of Smash U. They games are nearly identical bar some DLC. |
So by that logic, I guess Uncharted 3 is just a port of Uncharted 2 with a different story. God of War Ascension must be a port of God of War 3 as well. I mean when it comes down to raw mechanics, they have even more in common than Smash U and Smash Ultimate do after all.

Once again opinion =/= facts. Smash Ultimate is a new game, that's not an opinion, that's just a straight fact.
The_Liquid_Laser said: In Super Mario All-Stars (SNES) the games look completely different from their NES counterparts, because they use a different graphics engine. They are still the same games, because the mechanics, level design, music, etc... are all the same. The graphics don't really determine what the game is. Demon's Souls is in the same situation. |
Have you ever played to Super Mario All Stars ? Cause besides the graphics, the physics or the music is completely different.

Sounds like the same melody to me. It doesn't matter that they recorded it again.

Nice write-up.... you conveniently skipped the PS4 though. |
I skipped a lot of systems. Do I really need to mention every one? If you want to look at the PS4 though, it has a crapload of legacy content. The best selling game on the PS4 is actually a PS3 game.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

BC on PS5 and XBSX is pretty nice with the upgraded performance. If only they were available at retail price.

So when you hear this
Does suddenly make the game turn into Super Mario 64 ?

Put it this way. Street Fighter IV Arcade edition is SFIV with more characters and modes. I hope that analogy clears up your confusion. |
Smash Ultimate is more than just "more modes". It has well over double the content outside of just the characters. The adventure mode in of itself is its own game in terms of scale, and the spirit feature is a completely new dynamic.
None of this was DLC from the WiiU version nor added content from another version. It is a completely new game that built off of what the WiiU version had (sequel). The reaching here is comical to say the least. I mean, more than 50% of the game is new content. How anyone can consider that "the same game with DLC" is beyond understanding.
You are entitled to you opinion, and you can believe what you want. But that does not change the actual facts set in reality, which is that it is a new game.
padib said: It's your reality but not mine. My reality is that Smash Ultimate is the same game as Smash WiiU, with more characters and a story mode which should've been there in the first place, and existed in the sister version Smash 3DS. So have your opinion and leave mine alone. |
So your reality is that of delusion, then? I mean, I can believe a tangerine is an orange all I want, that doesn't make it a fact.
This argument of whether or not smash Ultimate is a port or a new game is stupid. you are wrong. Period. End of discussion. subjective opinions do not supercede objective facts. How is this still an argument? How are people so wrong so consistently? How are people still in denial/delusion over something so trivial?
I just don't get how or why you cling to this, then try to mask your ignorance as an opinion. that's not how this works, dude.
My Console Library:
PS5, Switch, XSX
PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360
3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android
Saying Smash Ultimate is a port of Smash U is like saying Brawl is just a port of Melee, or Bayonetta 2 is a port of Bayonetta 1. It's an iterative sequel in the standard industry sense.
