- I'm starting to think Smash Bros Switch will be a sequel and not a remaster

I really f***ing hope not. I know it sounds weird but I'd rather just have Sm4sh remastered on Switch for now, cuz it'd be such a tragedy to have that lineup wasted on the dopey-ass WiiU. It's too important of a video game to live and die on a flop system with an install base of only like 10 million.

I actually disagree because I think the Switch online service being delayed is the reason a remaster hasn't been announced.
I agree we'll get a Smash sequel for Switch, but I think that's way down the line. For now, I think the remaster will come, but launch alongside the online service next year. What better way to get people to pony up the cash online than Smash? |

If they can keep the roster I'd be ecstatic though. TheDarkCircle posted... I actually disagree because I think the Switch online service being delayed is the reason a remaster hasn't been announced. Hmm that's an interesting theory. I think next year is the last chance for a remaster being feasible. It'll be coming up to 4 years after the original release. Nintendo has announced games like 4-6 months before release before so it is possible.

If it was Smash Bros for Wii U remastered I think it would have been announced by now for next year. Anyone else agree? Seems like the window for a remaster instead of a full blown sequel is passing by. Reggie said there will never be multiple Smash games on a single system so I do believe that Nintendo will do Smash Switch instead of Sm4sh. Plus, we aren't too far away the time frame in which a new Smash comes out. 2019/2020 is closer than people think.

I didn't get a Wii U, and I missed out on Sm4sh, so if there's a remaster, I'd like that.
I'm also hoping for a sequel. |

The only thing though is even if they do start the hype train as early as next year, nothing will ever match the hype of the last game.
Like, outside of Master Chief or Goku there's nothing they can do that will top the lineup of the last game. (No, Ridley or Inklings aren't even close)

Smash 4 with a couple new stages and characters for the Switch. That's really all we need.

Considering how Nintendo has been announcing games recently, I doubt it. Since Kimishima has been at the helm, feels like Nintendo has gone more into a silent mode until they really need to show their hand. That's likely the reason they revealed Pokemon (due to the backlash after the Pokemon direct and Pokken being the only thing for Switch) as well as Metroid (which they openly admitted to only revealing due to not wanting backlash).
Since they know Smash is big, and they know their line up is looking sufficient already, they have no need to reveal Smash now. Don't forget that from announcement to release of several Switch games has been about six months, which is pretty short for any game. Now if it were the end of the year, I think this topic would be validated a bit more, but there's no reason to let out their big guns when they have their current line up revealed. At least that's how current Nintendo strategy seems to play, compared to how they were in the past with Iwata. Smash Bros for Switch has a 90% chance of being what we get imo

It was overall the same under Iwata too. Biggest exceptions were always Zelda, Smash Bros and some other premature announcements when the consoles were early in their lifespan. The biggest thing is that I don't know if they really need a Smash remaster now. I don't see the Switch having two Smash games. So if they release Smash Bros 4 again does that mean there won't be a new Smash Bros game at all for Switch? Would they really sacrifice that? Originally I thought they would to get a big game out for the holidays. But that's not happening. I think if it's not releasing in the first half of 2018 then we're getting a sequel. I remember people thinking Splatoon was just gonna get a remaster but instead it got a sequel so I guess we'll see. Maybe it'll be a sequel in the same engine for example.

Hmm I just had a thought that they'd have a completely new line of Amiibo if it's a sequel heh. Maybe that's also why ARMS didn't get a single Amiibo because one of 'em will be a newcomer and get an amiibo that way.
Everything has been pretty quiet on the Sakurai/SORA front right?

Terra-enforcer posted... Eh, maybe Wii U era Iwata was on the mind when making that, because they did it a LOT more than just with Zelda back then. Smash, Kart, Xenoblade, Yoshi's WW, Mario Maker, Star Fox, etc. They had a lot of games announced a lot earlier than release in the Wii U era. They definitely waited at times, and did quick reveal to release announcements beforehand, but it feels more accentuated now. Took them forever to reveal the Switch, they've been waiting longer for certain Directs, and they only focus on the seemingly immediate releases. Like I said, they only announced Metroid and Pokemon because of backlash (they openly admitted to it for Metroid, and I'm assuming that's why they did what they did for Pokemon). We know they're holding back several games (such as Rare's big game), so I'm pretty sure they're just doing the same with Smash. Smash for Switch WILL be a new game technically. Most everyone is expecting a slight port with more characters, modes, and stages/trophies or whatever. And I mean, Smash is already at the point where it's not like there's a lot more they can or even should add, so I don't see why it would need to be a full sequel. And it couldn't release this holiday considering Nintendo's current "one game per month" strategy as I mentioned before. Also people only thought Splatoon 2 was a port because of all of the rumors. Smash "for Switch" only makes sense considering what I said above. It wouldn't be remaster technically, and the Wii U version is already filled to the brim with content.

I could see it being a 1.5 sorta sequel. Same foundation/engine with completely different levels and new single player content, several new fighters/removed fighters, trophies, balance adjustments etc.
I don't really see why a simple port/remaster would be something worth withholding at this point. If it was an early 2018 release you'd think they'd announce it with Yoshi and Kirby.

My friend said there won't be more smash games except maybe a remaster. He is no expert or insider but
He often makes good predictions plus it makes sense because what do you do with dlc characters and so many third party characters? All those third party rights are going to be hard to deal with moving forward. Plus adding so many in the first place could Have been very "this is the end have a blast" Well now even Sakurai said he won't be making another smash game so I think my friend was right
I-I really needed this~~
Time to stomp some faces!!! |

As awesome as that roster was, Smash 4 was really ehhhhh compared to melee and brawl imo. I kinda want them to try again >_>

I think the initial problem with a port of Smash Bros 4 is that it's heavily optimized for the Wii U, and has a 3DS version. they probably don't want to confuse consumers by having to support 3 versions of the game, so rather than pull a Super Mario Kart Deluxe, they just make a 5. that and they're trying to retire Miiverse.
They just coincidentally make full use of every asset they made for both versions of the game, upto-and-including Ice Climbers. i'd expect that 3rd parties wouldn't be fully open with the idea of DLC being part of the core game, since Nintendo is the one handling publication. other companies can get away with Game of the Year editions because they wholly own the things on it. also the Switch is in that territory where it has enough Nintendo-published games for the year. they don't want to burn people out by announcing a new Smash Bros ontop of a New Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 4 (might not even be 2018) AND a mainline Pokemon game. something like Smash 5 could easily be an E3 reveal or something. Honestly, even though i was a bit hyped for Smash 4, i didn't feel as hyped as i was for Brawl. and despite not having to devote disk space for cutscenes....you'd think they would've made a much better product, in terms of actual content. like where's the Melee-esque Adventure mode, Smash the Targets (not bomb smash), also in some ways, 3DS might have limited potential since it came out earlier than Wii U. you have odd choices like requiring the game for using the 3DS as a control pad (no-game version?). the regular mode just boiled down to branching paths, All-star or a battle royale mode where you headhunt/pick enemies wisely for roulette rewards. Shovel Knight K. Rool Bandana Waddle Dee Ice Climbers Ray (Ray Mk IV being a color/model swap, similar to Dark Pit. to drive up hype for the Custom Robo reboot) an ARMS character, leaning towards either Spring Man, Ribbon Girl or Minmin. Inklings? Also, isn't it weird that Sakurai cited people leaking videoclips onto youtube ruined the surprise in Brawl, yet Smash Run as well as the final boss has elements that still continues the plot? there's still enemies falling out of Subspace as random encounters, ROB is named the last of his own kind in the Punch-Out! stage, and Master Hand's celestial chain wounds opens up upon defeat, becoming Master Core. though after all this, i still think it gets a bit too edgy. maybe Smash Bros 5 needs to go the Capcom/Square Enix route and add some villainous characters to round out the cast.

At least Melee and Brawl had some modes that were fun to play alone, but Smash 4 really doesn't. I think if you play with friends or play competitively, it's just as fine of a title as the other two.

Not here, the Smash 4 board, not the Wii U or Switch board, not Neogaf or even reddit. Where have you gotten the idea of a straight port with zero additions from? I think most everyone believes everything that you said (without cuts) should be a given.

NeonOctopus posted... idk. I don't think the amount was the problem, it's what it had wasn't all that compelling. Smash 4 had a Classic Mode, All Star Mode, Master and Crazy Hand Tickets, Achievements, and Missions. Five modes (each with multiple difficulties), achievements, and collectibles. That's a s***ton of modes and extras for people playing alone. It's just the fact that not many of those modes made much of a lasting impression I guess. That's how I felt at least.

Yeah, the singleplayer options were bland and since I'm older, I don't play with friends as often as college with Brawl >_> But I remember not liking much of the stages in 4 Wii U version. 3DS version had better stages imo but playing multiplayer with that is almost impossible with my circle of friends. |

Yeah I really hope we get something better than Smash Tour and Run for the Switch release. That was the biggest issue with both games.
I didn't really like Classic mode as much in the Wii U version either. Too much focus on those big battles which just felt like a shemozzle.

Yeah the Switch Smash game definitely needs more single-player content.

Melee's classic mode with the target tests and race to the finish stages helped spice it up a lot. 4's is just straight fighting over and over with no structure to it. |

I think so too. Smash 4 is almost 3 years old now which means that they've definitely already started on the sequel. A new smash game comes out about every 5 years so it wouldn't make sense to release a remaster and then release a new game immediately afterwards

Darmik posted... Yeah that's a lot of it for sure. Honestly the only thing I'd really miss from the Wii U/3DS version would be the roster. Thinking about that I wonder how the third party characters work with that. They'd probably need to renew all their contracts again regardless if it's a port or sequel. Hopefully they can get Konami back on board and maybe we'll see both Snake and Bomberman.

I don't think they intend to release a new Mario Kart for Switch but I guess we'll see. Maybe their logic is that a lot of people played Smash 4 on 3DS if they didn't have a Wii U.
The Mario Kart devs also worked on both ARMS and Deluxe. As far as I know we have no idea what the Smash Bros devs have been up to. They stopped patching the game around a year ago IIRC and I doubt that was what most of the team was working on to that point.

While it would be fantastic to see characters like Ryu and Cloud get new trailers returning for the next game, I really don't think we'll be seeing them back. Like, the fact the nature of the characters required them to come in as expensive DLC probably means the licensing fees were outrageous. Unless you wanna pay like $80 for Smash 5, I wouldn't hold my breath to see that legendary roster ever coming back :/

Cloud could go either way but I think Ryu is pretty likely. Mega Man was there day one. They're both Capcom. But yeah it might be tough juggling Sega, Capcom and Square-Enix within the one game.
I think a lot of the DLC mindset was trying to get characters people really wanted to buy. If it was just the Fire Emblem characters and some random Nintendo characters that weren't important enough to make the roster already I doubt as many people would have bought them.

It's because Nintendo is spacing their games out a lot more. And like I already said, with Mario Odyssey it would be silly of them to bring out Smash to directly compete with it sales wise and release it within a month of the first full 3D Mario game since Galaxy. That would just cannibalize their sales. If it were 2018 or a year without a big Holiday release you would have a point, but as it stands there are plenty of reasons why it isn't releasing yet.
Again, the only 2018 titles they've revealed have been seemingly very early 2018 titles, and two titles teased due to backlash.

I think your problem is that you're expecting them to reveal things quick and fast when they are clearly taking their time with this thing. Though as is, we do have three Wii U ports coming this year, so it would be no surprise if even more come next year.

It's not just because they're not releasing it this year. It's because they're not talking about it as well. I mentioned already that I think if it's not announced by January it's not coming. Even a Smash Bros release late next year is probably a generous enough window to plan a sequel instead of a port. I think they probably could have fit a Smash 4 Deluxe in December fine too but they didn't bother.
These decisions would have been made last year right? Maybe even earlier? Would they really spend two years just to wait/develop a Deluxe version of Smash 4 when they could get a sequel underway?
You've gotta think long term too. Would a Smash port in 2018 make a bigger impact than a sequel in 2019/2020?

Because of what I've literally been repeating this entire time. Because they haven't announced anything else coming out this year since the initial announcement (and the two 2018 titles they announced are likely early Q1 titles). Because this Nintendo seems to wait a lot longer before announcing releases, especially big ones. Because it could cannibalize the hype of games coming out this year. And you're still ignoring the fact that a port next year wouldn't be much longer than the Mario Kart port. You also ask would Nintendo "wait" when Nintendo has been waiting for a while now because of the Switch. They waited on doing things on home console for a little over a YEAR in 2016. We all know Mother 3 is coming and yet we still haven't heard from it three years after they teased it. Feels like I'm literally just repeating myself again and again because you're ignoring the points I make.
And a port with new characters, stages, trophies, modes, etc would do just as well as a "sequel" because
1) it's Smash and Smash sells (did Mario Kart Deluxe being a port stop it from selling huge numbers? Nope), and
2) like I've repeated feels like half a dozen times now, Smash 4 is already packed with content, and the additions I mentioned is what most would expect from a sequel of a game anyway. What a majority of people expect from Smash Switch is a LOT more than what Splatoon 2 added in it's supposed "full sequel."

That's because those two games are almost certainly early 2018 (like Q1). And I said games releasing this year, because it wouldn't make sense to ever think they'd release Smash port this year considering that and everything else.

Feels like I'm literally just repeating myself again and again because you're ignoring the points I make.
I'm not ignoring the points you make. I've already responded to them.
1. Mario Kart 8 was a launch window port
2. Mario Kart 8 team worked on ARMS instead of a Mario Kart sequel
I can see something like Bayonetta/Wonderful 101 ports having a really short announcement to release window. Smash Bros seems less likely to do this. The only real explanation that makes sense is that they're saving it for their online service reveal. If this doesn't pan out and I don't think it's happening.

2) like I've repeated feels like half a dozen times now, Smash 4 is already packed with content, and the additions I mentioned is what most would expect from a sequel of a game anyway. What a majority of people expect from Smash Switch is a LOT more than what Splatoon 2 added in it's supposed "full sequel."
Haha what on Earth are you talking about? Aren't most people expecting all of the 3DS/Wii U stages/characters/modes with the odd new character and stage? What are you expecting?
I'm no idea why you're so adamant that it's a port anyway. I have never completely ruled it out. All I'm saying is that the further they go without announcing it the less likely it's happening.
Early this year I thought it was a certainty. Now I'm at 50/50. If it still isn't announced late this year/January I'm gonna be expecting a sequel instead of a port. What's controversial about that?
Kind Regards,

The only thing though is even if they do start the hype train as early as next year, nothing will ever match the hype of the last game.
Like, outside of Master Chief or Goku there's nothing they can do that will top the lineup of the last game.
(No, Ridley or Inklings aren't even close)
Simon/Alucard, Ryu Hayabusa, Chocobo, King K Rool, Dixie, Tails, Ice Climbers, Sora, Dark Samus, Snake, etc
Imagine thinking any of those are on the same level as the Cloud announcement. Lol.
Like imagine gamefaqs imploding with everyone going OH MY GOD DID YOU GUYS HEAR IT FINALLY HAPPENED THEY'RE PUTTIN THE INCREDIBLY POPULAR K ROOL INTO SMASH
And I say that as a massive DK fan.
Snake and Ice Climbers would be a pretty big deal just because they were already in Smash and most people weren't happy with their removal.
I think Simon Belmont would probably be one of their best possible options for new characters though. Especially now with the Castlevania Netflix show maybe thrusting the series into the spotlight a bit more.
Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi

This ultimately is what I'm thinking would be what held back Smash being announced. They want something to REALLY convince people to finally pay for online Nintendo games. And no offense to Splatoon, but it alone isn't worth it.
Like, yeah they don't want to cannibalize games like Pokken and ARMS but the fact online was delayed till next year is the thing that sticks out to me.
Either way like I said I REALLY hope that's the case. I don't want to wait another three years to play Smash on Switch :(

You gotta answer my question from before then. This board, the Smash 4 board, Switch board, Wii U board, neogaf, and Reddit all have a majority of people expecting a port with more characters, stages, etc. So basically the same as what your sequel would be, and also like I said, a lot more than Splatoon 2 added in the sequel.
Your counter to my logic in using the MK8 as a comparison point still doesn't work for reasons I've stated. That's why I said you ignored my explanation because you still have. My response would be the same as what I already said to you. You also ignored seemingly most of what I used as evidence against a haphazard announcement this early as well.
The only reason I'm "adamant" is because I'm not ignoring the facts like you seem to be doing. Plus you still haven't answered my question. What would a sequel add? More modes, characters, stages etc? That's what most people expect anyway. Since their main dev team has other priorities now, it would make more sense in a lot of ways to add those things while calling it Smash for Switch
And now we have that Dutch leak that involved a recently removed official Nintendo survey that listed Smash for Switch in its list of upcoming games, so what I've been saying seems even more likely.- Boards

- I'm starting to think Smash Bros Switch will be a sequel and not a remaster
