I'm guessing this will be one of the last updates ever... sad.

The balance in this game is a joke compared to project m, I wish they could make Ganon good ;A;

 

[0-volt]

Un other news, i hope to fix the KH MoM save data on smash.

Why don't they just fire Sakurai and get a team to keep updating the game?

 

[diggeloid]

Why don't they just fire Sakurai and get a team to keep updating the game?

Sakurai is a more valuable asset to Nintendo than the total combined lifetime value of all the customers who would even know what a "balance patch" is.

 

[HRudyPlayZ]

Does Sora still have a broken priority over every other in game character? I'd guess so. A lot of DLCs were absolutely broken this generation, some like Joker ended up being nerfed thankfully, some like Sora won't ever get fixed i guess... I hope the next game's balance is less of a joke than this one.

Yet he's abandoning the game

Why don't they just fire Sakurai and get a team to keep updating the game?

Probably because it wasn't solely Sakurai's choice to finish support for the game. There's a lot more bureaucracy in Nintendo than one man going "lol I'm done". In fact, there *is* a team working on updates for Ultimate, as there always has been. But powers that be decided it's time to shelve the game and move on to a new project.

 

[Kioku]

Yet he's abandoning the game

Ah, yes. He's the whole dev team.

 

[Magnus87]

Do you think they will release a physical version with all the DLCs or will they wait for Switch 2?

 

[Jayro]

That should be left to Limited Run Games.

 

[Marc_LFD]

We're nearing the 6th anniversary of the Switch and still no Mario Kart 9. It feels like Rockstar milking GTA V without bothering to develop a new one.

 

[LanHikariDS]

That should be left to Limited Run Games.

Why would a company with as much capital as Nintendo outsource cart production to a third-party company, when Nintendo still has to manufacture the carts LRG will use anyway? That just sounds unneccesary, and Nintendo recieves ZERO benefit from LRG as third-parties do.

*finishing, your acting as if he started dlc, and then just stopped midway, lmao
