    I don't own a Switch.
    I never got around to buy a Wii U.

    This was the first Nintendo direct I've seen (apart from that small one in Jan.)

    I've been floored by this announcement.
    Before, I was simply intrigued by the Switch.. But now, it is my duty to get one in the next year or two.
    Someone help me stand up again... :hushed:

    I was not expecting a new Super Smash Bros. so soon.

    A pity that some newcomers may not make it to the next game, mainly the Wii Fit Trainers that I main.

  • Green, you'll just lose again man ;'(

  • Well we still don't know if this is a direct port or not.

    I think its going to be a weird port/new game hybrid. Im expecting it to be pretty much be the Wii U version but with a lot of new content like characters, stages, ect. And that it will probably have a "real" name instead of Smash Bros For Nintendo Switch. So I think Wii fit Trainer is probably safe to return

    Now that I think about it, it does seems a little too soon for a fresh new Smash game, so it's likely an extended cut no. 2 of the 4th game.

    The 3DS seems to be the minimal 'base' content, while the Wii U expands on the fourth title with more content. It's possible that the Switch may go even further, such as bringing back the Ice Climbers if the Switch port can handle 16 combatants on an 8-Player battle.

    I'd hate to be that person, but I'm also hoping for another series of balance patches, just to see if Wii Fit Trainer gets another buff in the future.

  • That Smash reveal... just... Jesus.

    Literally every character is back now (and Ridley) :astonished:

  • I'm glad the guy finally made it to the arena after all these years.

    That Smash reveal... just... Jesus. Literally every character is back now (and Ridley)

  • Most ambitious crossover in history

  • WHAT? WOLF IS COMING BACK?!?!?

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!

  • I don't even play these games and I'm impressed. Konami was nice to let them use Classic Solid Snake especially. And Ridley looks awesome.

  • This, TWD and KH are both giving me life and killing me.

    So, aside from the most likely obvious answer (Snake), which characters are you guys excited to see return (that were not in Smash 4/DLC)?

  • Wolf was my main in Brawl, and I'm pleased to see him return in Ultimate to join Wii Fit Trainer as my mains.

    ...which reminds me on a tangential note - the stage selection for Ultimate is gonna be nuts. They are bringing back around the ball park of 80-85 stages from all of the old games back. Previous speculation led people to think that *every* stage ever was going to return, but Nintendo staff confirmed that was not the case in various E3 interviews.

    Nevertheless, that's only like 30 stages in the entire series history that still remain unconfirmed, some of which are redundant from having multiple versions, 3DS exclusive gimmicks (where each player had their own screen), or a rumored restriction of giving each third party only one stage.

  • It's pretty neat to see the upresed 3DS stages.

    Soooo these might be things that might happen...

    [Possible new character leaks]

    Also this

  • edited August 2018

    Vergeben also mentioned... [mod edit: potential leaked spoiler warning]

    Ken

    directly like a week ago.

    [potential leaked spoiler warning for another character]

    I think the Dante thing wont be true. Everything he said seems more like things anyone who was a big Devil May Cry fan could figure out what the next logical step forward would be. The only thing that seems hard to guess is the "staff guy" but even thats not too hard, they all use these type of weapons, saying a staff like weapon isnt the most out there thing.

    I'm... not quite sure on what to think of the [Spoilers] rumor from 4Chan in particular, but yeah, a few leakers such as Vergeben have been posting several rumors. So far, there's...

    [Spoiler Warning - leaks from fairly accurate leaker...]

    • Ken (presumed Ryu Echo)
    • Isabelle (presumed Villager Echo)
    • 2nd Square Enix character
    • Incenoroar (new Pokemon Gen 7 character)
    • (...and possibly Isaac from Golden Sun [GBA])
    • (Some form of Minecraft representation - possibly a stage or assist trophy.)

    Other leaks mention the possibility of...

    • Skull Kid
    • Second Namco character
    • Dante from Devil May Cry (as discussed above)

    ...and as a non Spoiler/leak, people are also speculating a Shadow echo for Sonic since his assist trophy was missing and replaced with Knuckles.

  • Im fine with Ken as he is a more classic character as well as being pretty much the OG "echo fighter." Dante on the other hand? Really dont want him at all. I still think that leak was like I said, someone who just saw easy steps forward in the series and said pretty bland stuff, things that are just obvious for the next step. Even the dynamic music thing he mentions isnt that impressive, its kinda easy to guess that each rank you get while doing combos adds more to the song like bass and lyrics until it makes a full song.

    Also Skull Kid is probably more likely. (and I hope so too) The Wind Waker stuff is probably more to do with K Rool and pirate ships. At the moment Skull Kid has a lot more going for him, that being his Assist Trophy is MIA, an item has been added that does the function his AT did, the moon is now the Majoras Mask Assist Trophy, the heroes and villains theme, and ofc the leaker saying he believes Skull Kid is in.
