Chinese Smash Bros. knock-off released on mobile
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Mobile, News | 37 Comments
Yesterday we heard about a Splatoon clone from China that recently hit mobile devices. Today, a second Nintendo knock-off was released: “Pocket All-Stars Smash Bros.”
Unlike the Splatoon ripoff, the Smash Bros. game isn’t a complete copy at least. Nintendo characters are used, but it’s card-based and turn-based. Players can level up characters, and buying things is a part of the gameplay as well.
If you’re interested in seeing what Pocket All-Stars Smash Bros. is all about, view the video below for gameplay.

Rumor: Bandai Namco working on several NX games, Smash Bros. a launch title
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 278 Comments
Rumors about the NX continue to persist. This time, analyst and consultant Dr. Serkan Toto has made bold claims regarding Bandai Namco. The publisher is supposedly working on a number of titles for the system, including Smash Bros. – which will apparently be a launch game. Given that Smash Bros. just came out on two systems a little over a year ago, a port would be more probable than an entirely new entry.
Toto isn’t sure about any dates. In terms of where the information comes from, he’s connected to a number of industry sources, though it remains to be seen if this speculation will pan out in the end.
Toto wrote on Twitter:
Bandai Namco is currently developing several NX titles. Smash Bros is planned to be a launch title. I am not sure about the date – yet ;).

To follow up on my last tweet: I haven't heard if it's a completely new (numbered) Smash Bros or not. Otherwise, source situation is solid.
— Dr. Serkan Toto (@serkantoto) January 28, 2016
@AutomaticZen Can't say (sorry), but the source situation is very solid. Otherwise I wouldn't have tweeted.

@DaliDimovski Not quite my own reveals, but thanks. About the source situation I can't really talk, but it's solid.

Nintendo Treehouse staffer talks about Sakurai’s commitment to making Smash Bros.
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 18 Comments
Yesterday, we posted a number of tidbits coming from a Part Time Gamer interview with Nintendo Treehouse localization writer/editor Chris Pranger. If you missed that, you can read it right here.
Gamnesia has since transcribed Pranger’s comments about Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. Here’s what we said about the developer:
“Sakurai’s outlook on the games is very dire. He gets really sad when he finds out how people are reacting and he gets sad whenever there’s a leak, because he really wants to create. And he’s an auteur in the most crazy sense. He’s basically Vincent Van Gogh cutting off his own ear and we’re sitting there going ‘Frick! Stop doing that!’ And he’s like ‘You don’t get it, guys, my vision!'”
