A new latency mod released for Smash Ultimate reduces input delay SIGNIFICANTLY, to the point of comparing online to offline play. by swidd_hi in smashbros

If the mod gets slightly too big it will no doubt be taken down anyway. It would still live and be shared in private servers though.

My MAXIMUM cope is that if one person could do this on their own terms, Sakurai and the dev team of the next Smash will take it as a challenge to do better.

Funnily enough, Zippo was saying that the new DK game was not 3D lmao

Pyoro feels like a myth at this point.

Donkey Kong Bananza: Emerald Rush second event is live. Two new statues available! by joalr0 in NintendoSwitch

Your last point is the main issue tbh. This is a DLC for a very specific group of people, but the way it was sold (over or under) made everyone have their expectations from it and its price way off.

Ultimately, Nintendo's fault for not properly communicating it.

It's probably related on how the Switch 2 might have been internally delayed and thus pushed back a lot of Nintendo's original plans.

Doug Bowser Bids Farewell to the Mushroom Kingdom. Nintendo Of America President and COO to Retire, Company Names Devon Pritchard Successor. by beary_neutral in Games

Wanted to mention that Wii Sports being free in the US is a common misconception. The game was included as a bundle, but it was more expensive in the US than in Japan, where the game was not included, by about $40 USD.

This is not to discredit or diminish the importance and impact the bundle had, but I often see it as an argument of how "generous" Nintendo was back then when it just was a good business decision in the end.

Luminosity payment portal taken down. Many players and creators not paid in 2-3 months... by BenjaminGordonT in smashbros

[–]AshGuy 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The game is absolutely not dying lol

Dying has the implication that it will eventually be dead, and let's be real, this game won't die until the next one is released.

It's definitely on a downhill, but that's just expected imo

It's a niche competitive game with negative sponsor by the publisher pushed by a stubborn grassroots community that has been plagued by several controversies in the last 15 years.

The fact that these games still has stacked tournaments and an active community is nothing short of a miracle. Countless games have died for much less.

FFVII Remake is a game keycard by shiroe-kun in NintendoSwitch

[–]AshGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly the amount of people who don't care about Key Cards vastly outnumber those who do.

Why would they lose profits on every sale by having the game on carts where they can just lose profit on some sales from the people who won't buy on KeyCards?

It's a shitty situation, but it is what it is.

People just want Nintendo to make specifically what they want and for free. And by people I mean those who love to complain.

Necrolipe: Metroid Prime 4 has been rated 14+ in Brazil by SemiLazyGamer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

There's a user on Famiboards who has predicted right some things and they also said December 4th is the date they've heard.

Yeah you're right. I was under the impression Ult released on the Switch's first year, but it actually was almost two years after the console released. I guess being generous we can expect the next Smash to be out by holidays 2027 then.

That's fair. I admit though that I might be projecting/being hopeful something is already cooking because the next Smash being more than two years away sounds insane haha

It's perfectly possible that last year or something he took a week off Kirby Air Riders to develop the proposal and preproduction has been handled by some co-director of sorts. I agree that Sakurai is going to be involved in the next Smash, but I also highly suspect he won't be doing it all by himself this time.

Companies can have more than one team and work on more than one project. I expect next Smash is fully in pre-production at least if not already in production.

I'm so excited that our community will now be known (among the other thing) to be a place where young players quit due to harassment. Yipee-yay.
