Smash Bros. for Switch discussion/speculation
 
So yesterday during the most recent Nintendo Direct, they officially revealed Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch (supposedly not the final title atm), which we all knew an announcement for was gonna come sooner or later. Trailer below:



Right now, only Mario, Link (whose appearance seems to be based off of his BotW incarnation), and newcomers Inklings are officially confirmed to be in the game, although there's obviously other characters who will make it into the game. The number "2018" being flashed at the end implies that the planned release date for now is to be sometime this year.

so in the meantime until the game comes out, have at it

I want xenoblade characters. Idk who they would put in though :/ maybe rex but eh.

Logiedan March 9th, 2018 2:33 PM

i will always be hyped for smash bros coming from a melee background
also 4 years doesn't seem long enough for an entirely new smash game considering masahiro's work ethic, so my mind is thinkin a (rly good) port.

I hope the Ice Climbers return

So many potential options for the Inkling's Final Smash! As a big fan of Splatoon, I'm excited to see the stages they come up with.

It'll be interesting to see how they'd get Rex with Pyra/Mythra to work. They promoted the hell out of Xenoblade 2 so I'm certain Rex will be included.

Forgot I wanted this- Crossdresser link BETTER be a costume xD

Mariposa March 9th, 2018 7:33 PM

Given that we've barely seen anything yet we don't have much to go off. I will say that I hope all the character in the current smash roster make a return.

Especially Cloud. He's my favorite character. :>

As long as Bayonetta returns I don't care

Yeah, 4 years does seem to be a bit of a short gap, or at least it's different from what we're used to (although the time between Smash 64 and Melee was about 2ish years). I really hope that it's not a port though, I think we need more than a port is going to provide.

It's probably because the last game was released on the 3DS and Wii U. The 3DS version is widely available but it's really inferior to the Wii U version which... just wasn't available to most people due to the Wii U selling about as well as Mighty Number 9. At this point it would just make sense for them to either release a new game.

Yeah, I guess it's pretty much impossible to tell just from looking at the gap years. But honestly the Smash 4 engine/mechanics still feels fresh (rage sux still tho) to me, so I wonder what they have came up with. My hopes are high.

maybe i just haven't played the game enough cos melee is in my blood :(

anyone see vgdunkey's vid btw?? this guy is a comedic legend

Submitted my pre-order on Amazon; saving around $10 as a Prime member.

tokyodrift March 10th, 2018 7:18 PM

Now this is a game that would make me get a Switch. Time to start saving some money!

mikey March 10th, 2018 8:50 PM

Hypeeee.

Can't wait to see what characters will be making an appearance. Inklings are a pretty good start.

colours March 10th, 2018 9:17 PM

I'm more interested in seeing who would be the "Mewtwo" -esque character here.

BronzeHeart92 March 11th, 2018 1:32 AM

I just wonder if the menus will once again have that signature Sakurai touch to them. Without that Smash wouldn't be Smash, right?

Crackin355 March 11th, 2018 5:28 AM

In the case that it isn't just a port I think it's probable that they'll re-use a lot of the assets they made for 4 considering that the game isn't really that old and it'd just generally be a poor decision not to. That'd save a significant amount of time and they also aren't making two versions of this game as they did with 4.

As for new characters, assist trophy characters like Waluigi or Lyn seem like a no brainer for easy choices. Something from gen 7 probably. Spring Man. the mole from mole mania. I hope Luigi is playable.

port or not, it'll play similarly to brawl/4, I can't see them shaking it up from what it is now.

Somewhere_ March 11th, 2018 7:42 AM

I hope its a completely new Smash game, but because I never owned a Wii U or the 3DS version, it really doesn't make a difference to me if its a port or not.

Neon Pink March 11th, 2018 4:26 PM

I never owned the 3DS or WiiU versions either. Something tell me it's going to be a whole new game. I don't care if it's a port though, but I think the arrival of the inklings might make it "new." Also BOTW Link might make it "new" too.

I love Nintendo, but why must it ATTACK OUT WALLETS?! *clings to wallet*

A new Smash game would be great and by the look of the logo and the trailer, it is looking like this will be a new entry rather than a port.

As for new fighters, Incineroar definitely seems likely and also a couple of the ARMS characters. Personally, I'd love to see Crash Bandicoot as a fighter which is also a possibility since they announced the N. Sane Trilogy for the Switch.

Luigi's pretty much guaranteed to get in really lol

Unfortunately I feel like Wario might steal his spot, but I'll stay optimistic.


On a more serious note I hope they don't spend too much time on side modes like Smash Run or Smash Tour. Smash Run seemed like a nice idea but had poor execution and Smash Tour was rather messy overall.

The one Playstation Exclusive I was annoyed to miss out on is coming to Xbox One too. Cool. I can see Crash as a playable character with Coco as an alternate costume.

Incineroar makes too much sense but they might opt for Decidueye as Charizard is likely to be in again.

Decidueye could play similar to Pit's character. A Lycanroc (Probably Dusk as it was the most promoted) could get in too.

It would be nice to have the option to play as the Pokemon's Shiny Palettes in the Switch game. I think Pikachu's and Charizard's Gen 2 Shiny are playable in Smash but not the Shiny Palettes for the other Pokemon.

Battle Network Megaman, anyone?
