Smash Bros Wii U may not feature more characters

[Gh0sti]

i would be ok with Nintendo doing DLC but dont put it on the Disc i would be mad about that they need to do a server to store them

here is what i hope to see in the new Smash Bros

new graphics
new stages
5 new characters (maybe 10 max)
new story
old story lines built in once game is beaten

DLC
new characters
stages
costumes
items

sell them for like $0.99 the dlc for each thing Nintendo could make bank (go the apple approach) i mean angry birds have made about 1 billion in revenue thanks to app store .99 deal

you know what would be really cool to see is a retro style for all the characters when they first came out costume like 8-bit mario, that would be a nice feature in teh game

 

[KingVamp]

Too much KI characters for a serie that has no major relevance and spawns like 1 or 2 games.

Something tells me you didn't buy the game.

Letting it have more than one character will help add "major relevance" to it.
Besides, I was just listing characters that would most likely work/fit. I didn't mean add all of them.

an 8bit stage that turns all charecters 8bit would be a great idea to implement on the 3Ds, it would make using the 3D worthwhile.

So nintendo starts thinking out loud, and look how many people start getting up in arms.

I wonder her sound this rumor is...

That.

These games are really early on in development, nothing is confirmed other than the platforms, which could change and the people developing it...which could also change, Nintendo may look at what they have done and think "ah fuck no, Retro/Intelligent Systems/whoever you're doing this now"...wish they did that with Other M.

Even in regards to not having more characters than other games all he said was that there MIGHT not be an increase in the roster. Maybe there'll be more, maybe there'll be less either way its what they feel would sit right with the game they are making. Over time games change, Ocarina of Time was at some point a first person adventure title.

I'm glad they don't do the "bigger better" shit other companies do which end up being Non Specific Action Game 9: The Jumping of the Shark being a mess of a clusterfuck. I swear most people here would be happy for each game to play exactly like Melee only with 20+ characters added with each release.

*holds bridge of nose with index finger and thumb whilst squinting eyes*
so ...hold on...
they have all the freaking Namco characters at their disposal as well... and they don't take advantage of this....?
....this is already looking towards disappointment.

Read the quote from the source carefully. They didn't say anything about NOT adding new characters, only that they won't be increasing how many characters there are.

Until Nintendo or Namco confirm that they aren't adding new characters its best not to over react.

They need to remove pointless characters and add in quality ones, no 3rd party franchise characters either.

Spoiler

Keep:

Mario
Link
Peach
Bowser
Fox
Ness
Captain Falcon
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Kirby
Pikachu
Mewtwo
Pit
Marth
Samus
Jigglypuff
Zelda
Metaknight
Pikachu
Wario

Alternate Skin Option in Character Selection, rather then wasting character slots since they all have the same moves essentially:

Lucas (Ness alt)
Lucario (Mewtwo alt)
Luigi (Mario alt)
Ganondorf (Captain Falcon alt)
Roy and Ike (Marth alt)
Wolf and Falco (Fox alt)
Diddy Kong (Donkey Kong alt)
Young Link and Toon Link (Adult Link alts)
Pichu and Raichu (Pikachu alts)

Eliminate:

R.O.B, Captain Olimar, Snake, Sonic, Mr Game and Watch, King Dedede, Pokemon Trainer, Ice Climbers and Dr Mario needs to be kept out.

I'd rather see characters in Brawl that people actually want to play, or characters that aren't complete derps for movesets. There is no need to waste character slots with reskinned characters like Luigi and Roy when they have the same abilities as Mario and Marth.

It's still too much for a series that has fewer games than F-Zero or Starfox.

Actually... yes

 

[yuyuyup]

Look I don't care if this story doesn't necessarily imply there won't be more characters, and some taken out. This idiot should be HYPING people by saying how this is going to **** previous Smash Bros efforts with shit tons of new characters. God damn Nintendo always beating around the god damn bush. STILL no Wii U specs, no info about 3DS to Wii U connectivity (pedometer at least ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?) Whatever. I hope Namco won't sabotage another classic Nintendo franchise like Team shittyass Ninja did with Metroid Other M.

censorship brought to you by paranoia induced from the GBATEMP CHRISTIAN SQUAD

 

[Bladexdsl]

the wiiu continues to disappoint me and it hasn't even been released. what they should be doing is get rid of the lame dumbass characters like gameandwatch and a few others and replace them!

 

[Gaiaknight]

ya no surprisingly im ok with this i would rather have a more refined game than new characters the roster is already huge

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

ITT a bunch of whiny kids who cry if they don't get their way.

There's practically no info on both the Wii U and SSB4 and you're all bitching and crying over all of these rumors. Christ, at least wait until it's confirmed before you cry your eyes out and vow to never buy the system.

BUT THATS THE POST 2008 GBATEMP WAY!!!

 

[Fear Zoa]

They just started development, and they are at the point where they are just making groundwork for the game. Lots of things change during development, and i'll wait till they are further along to start critiquing them. (Remember when borderlands had realistic graphics?)

Also they better keep Mr game & watch

 

[BORTZ]

Ill be happy as long as the story delivers another epic tale like the original did.

 

[Qtis]

Is it so hard to wait for the game to be released and complain after that? :3

The source tells quite clearly why thay may limit the number of characters. They didn't say they will.. If balance > amount of characters = better game, I'm all up for it. I prefer local multiplayer games to be balanced instead of having a gazillion of options and only one or two good ones to choose from :/

 

[Midna]

He said more
He didn't say different

 

[Midna]

STILL no Wii U specs

I wish you'd stop bitching about this. Yikes, it's like it's your first Nintendo console launch or something. They never release official specs. Ever.

Ah yes the whatsits and the whosits did something and thingy had to be done in order to whatever the stuff.
