smash for switch 2 could literally be announced through a video of sakurai talking with nothing but panic in his voice as he says "I AM NOT REHASHING ULTIMATE ITS A NEW GAME WITH A SMALLER ROSTER" directly into the camera and people would still go "I think he was lying. 100 characters on launch!!"
Comments
1. Sakurai specifically tries to make each Smash game he makes distinct.
2. Ultimate will still be playable on the Switch 2.
3. They’d still have to re-up the licenses with every 3rd party company for a port as though it were a new game.
And then in Smash Bros fonts, "Smash Bros Ultimate is Fully Compatible"
Smash 10 encompasses 1,000 characters and bricks your Switch 5 when you load the character select screen
let my man work on a new IP, or at least a sequel to Kid Icarus: Uprising
it'd genuinely be my favourite game of all time if it had a normal control scheme, but alas
altho i do recognize that the more you add to an "Ultimate rerelease" it treads dangerously toward a whole new game
Also, why rebase Ultimate when they make a new roster with 70 Characters at the start
Just do a remastered port and continue adding characters and stages.
There's literally NOTHING to gain from making a sequel instead of building on what already exists.
That has been obvious and true since I first started saying it like 5 years ago.
And I can't really blame em. Who wouldn't want "same thing but slightly better?"
Unless your one of those "I buy Smash to mash through mid single-player junkfood content and feel like I'm part of something."
Them not making a new one, might make me more inclined to try it
"big number must get bigger"
That's the whole reason people want a port of Ultimate.
