Revamping Kirby’s moveset in Super Smash Bros.

Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

If you’re familiar with developer talk centered around Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, you might recall game director Masahiro Sakurai saying that Kirby is one of the most challenging fighters to develop – especially in Smash Bros. games with DLC characters. This is because Kirby has a unique neutral special for every single character, and each one gives him a unique hat to wear. Given that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has well over seventy characters, that means over 80 unique hats for Kirby were needed – plus seventy “Kirby-ified” versions of the corresponding moves.

At the time of writing, we’re not sure what the next Super Smash Bros. game will look like. Will it be a port of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the next hardware with even more characters? Or will it be sort of a soft reboot of the franchise with fewer characters, but new movesets for the returning ones? Whichever the case may be, we’ve come up with a new Copy Ability system for Kirby that would most likely make developing his character easier while remaining true to his series.

Capcom explains how Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics came to be

Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Last month’s Nintendo Direct featured a few surprise announcements, including a big one for the fighting game community – that being Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. That package comes with Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which came as a shock to many.

Shuhei Matsumoto, the collection’s producer, recently spoke about how it all came to be. It turns out that there’s long been interest on Capcom’s side, and the company was “in talks with Marvel for years now to see whether we can make this happen.” Marvel seemed to general interest and fans wanting to see its classic games on modern hardware.

[Let’s Talk] Which Nintendo franchise should be revived?

Posted on 5 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 0 comments

These days, it feels like anything has a chance of returning. Looking at Nintendo specifically, the company just recently announced Emio: The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, which is the series’ first new game in three decades. Mario & Luigi is also making a comeback after nearly a decade (again we’re talking new here), and this is after many thought the franchise could be dead since developer AlphaDream shuttered. We’ve seen other examples as well such as Kid Icarus: Uprising on 3DS, which followed Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters on Game Boy way back in 1991.

Nintendo has plenty of series it could return to. There are more obscure names like Ice Climber and StarTropics, but things have even been quiet for others such as Donkey Kong Country (though we’re at least getting Returns HD at the start of next year) and Star Fox.

What are your thoughts here? Is there a certain Nintendo game or franchise you’d like to see return? Let us know in the comments.
