Here’s how one guy, who wrote in to Brawl producer Masahiro Sakurai, put it:

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai recently tried playing Brawl online. He was a bit disappointed with the players he encountered. In addition to being disappointed that items were turned off, Sakurai noticed that “nobody ever went on the attack; it was like everyone was taking the approach of waiting for the other guy to take the offensive.”

“The other day, I had my first run at Smash Bros. Brawl online play. What I found was that nobody ever went on the attack; it was like everyone was taking the approach of waiting for the other guy to take the offensive. There were no items, either. I wanted to shout at them ‘This isn’t how you do Smash Bros.’! As the producer, what do you think of fights like this?”

Pixelscopic could bring Delver’s Drop to the Wii U. The company just wrapped up a Kickstarter campaign and managed to raise nearly $150,000 – double the $75,000 goal.

Delver’s Drop takes inspiration from a ton of different games – Zelda: Link to the Past, Demon’s Souls, Diablo, and a whole lot more.

Nintendo fans will be interested to hear that, even though nothing has been confirmed, Pixelscopic has been in touch with the Big N about becoming an approved developer, and the studio does have interest in bringing its project to the Wii U / 3DS eShops.

According to Pixelscopic’s Ryan Baker:

“We’re fans of the Wii U and 3DS, but we have not decided on a console between the three big platform holders. We will most likely decide this based on how well it does after the PC/Mac/Linux release, and continued fan requests for console. Honestly, we’d love to support all of them, but that would likely be a 6+ month endeavour to add to our tech and support these systems. We had made a Kickstarter stretch goal for the console port, but it looks like that will not be met by the end of our campaign. But as with all other unmet stretch goals, we will consider developing them later if the game is successful and we have continued fan interest.”

Delver’s Drop is planned for release in 2014. Perhaps we’ll see a Nintendo version next year!
