I mostly agree, but the Mario cast feels pretty good and like themselves. There may be a few random seeming moves like Luigi's fireball being unlike how it is in any other game, but I feel like that's become a part of his character, kinda like how he essentially got his floaty jump from a non-Mario game (Doki Doki Panic).
But yeah, I wanna see Luigi with more moves associated with him, like not just using the Poltergeist for a grab, same for Mario, integrate Fludd into Mario's jumps. They definitely need some work. Peach in particular has a lot more options now thanks to Super Princess Peach and Princess Peach: Showtime. Only thing I dread is DK's redesign getting into SSB, I hope the DKC version is a costume you can use.
I couldn't disagree more, personally. Star Fox and Metroid would be reduced to/stay at 1 character, we'd probably never get Golden Sun or Pushmo in, but we'd be flooded by Animal Crossing kids & animals and squids from Splatoon.
I think there should be a more even balance across the board, not perfectly even but no more than 3 per franchise and at least 1 for others (this is assuming they whittle down the cast size, ideally we keep as many as possible).
That'd be great, I can see Kyle Hyde working similarly to Phoenix Wright in MvC.
One of my favorite things about the 3DS version was its option for thick outlines and how everyone had a more cel shaded kinda look, almost like Street Fighter 4 or something. A more stylized art style like that could be good, but at the same time I kinda like everyone looking as close to their games of origin as reasonably possible.
I kinda understand. I think a story mode would really help with that. Also they need to be more picky, I'll never accept Steve as part of SSB. He visually looks like shit, he's an eyesore. He's not the only character that feels out of place, but he's the worst offender by a mile. Bayonetta for some reason never really clicked either, not sure why. It doesn't bother me much but she just isn't a great choice imo.
I only agree to a point. I think virtually every Nintendo IP should get at least one representative before any 3rd party gets in, but we also don't need to scrape the bottom of the Nintendo IP barrel at the expense of better 3rd party choices like Sonic. Fucking Piranha Plant doesn't deserve a spot at all over anyone (except Steve).
Gotta factor in that more people have Steam compatible devices than Game Boys, and while I'm pretty sure Pokemon Red did cost the same as Palworld ($30) you need to factor in inflation. Additionally, Pokemon spread primarily via traditional advertising and real-life word-of-mouth instead of spreading through modern social media and having easy digital access via the Internet (until 3DS anyway). Pokemon probably would've sold even better if it had those advantages too at the time.
But it is portable, which is more convenient and comfortable.
If you call Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven "support", sure. They've got nothing good new to announce for Switch 1, after Prime 4 the Switch is barren. We might get some decent ports or spinoffs but they threw Switch 1 out to die immediately, and it's probably to force people into buying the Switch 2.
I really thought we were done with that shit. I hope Switch 2 is hacked day 1 and unpatchable.
