The Wii U could handle it easily, but it depends on if the 3DS version will support always-on 3D.

And I kinda like Giga Bowser, if only for being a simple expansion on a recurring concept for hm, even if it is original to Smash.

Grabbing one would temporarily turn any given character into an Ice Climbers team (and turn the Ice Climbers into a barbershop quartet),
[lol] Very clever, sir.

I'm sure the game can handle that many polygons around. If it can handle the fighting whatever teams in Multi-Man Melawl then I doubt a duplicate character would push things over the edge too much. Plus, it's on a more powerful system than the other games, so I'm sure they'll have enough memory so long as they don't overload the disc like they did with Brawl.

The reason I'm worried is because the Ice Climbers themselves apparently have a big question mark hanging over them. and if it turns out they can't be implemented, then that would certainly put a nail in the coffin of a power-up that would make any character do what they do to the processor.

That said, I'd love the Double Cherry to be in the game. It strikes me as a wonderful sort of item for this kind of game.

The fact of Olimar's presence gives me a lot of hope, especially since the Pikmin are fully realized instead of ultra-low-res like in Brawl.

I would be incredibly disappointed if the Ice Climbers didn't make it in.

The one with article with Sakurai commenting on not over doing the balance tongue Basically all ignored the unhealthy work ethics and were like "boo no balance at all? Screw it I'll just play Project M"

Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems a bit callous to a near sociopathic degree if you ask me. "Bah, who cares that you're literally working yourself to death? MAKE THE GAME HOW I WANT IT YOU JACKASS!" (I jest, but I wouldn't be surprised to find a comment made like that in complete seriousness.)

the comments were less that, and more people calling him arrogant for seeing it like the game nees him to have hands-on direcion.

I agree that one should probably be more worried as to whether this is healthy.

On other subjects, I kind of wish that, instead of being the earlier parts of Mario 3D world, the Mario 3D World stage insted focused on Bowser Land, in all its decadent glory.

Considering he essentially seems to consider the series his baby, I don't see it as arrogant at all, just extreme perfectionism to an overly obsessive and self-harming degree.

Bowser Land, the happiest place on earth?

Yeah. Sakurai... he worries me sometimes. The guy is clearly extremely passionate about his work, and his games really are a labor of love. I just worry that he puts in more work than is safe.

And yeah! Bowser Land is the happiest place on Earth!*

[up]Hopefully he slows it down eventually, before he gives himself a heart attack or something. I wouldn't be surprised if he already has an ulcer.

Also [lol] at that hottip.

Especially with his tendonitis. But he said this is likely the last game he'll work on.

Yeah, he's already severely hurt his hand.

I wish I could work with Sakurai, though. That kind of hands-on involvement, though unhealthy, intrigues me.

Am I racist for thinking this is partly due to greatly different cultural beliefs?

Not at all. There is a much stronger work ethic that is inherently embedded in Japanese culture, going WAAAAAY back and still continuing today, so at least partially chalking his work habits to that isn't too much of a stretch. I do need to wonder if Sakurai's level of workaholism is the norm for Japanese workers, though.

My cultural beliefs tend to be more in line with Japan's even though I've never been there and formulated them before I even knew they were associated with Japan.

IMO he has a perfectly reasonable work ethic. He knows he needs to finish the project soon, and that it has to be done right.

He's actually had health problems from severely overworking himself.

Ironically, despite all the stress, he seems to age in reverse if pictures of him from now and before are any indication.

He does look surprisingly way younger than he actually is. It must be the Beatle haircut he has [lol]

That article is by Event Hubs. Any comments will always give anyone headaches.

And I think the balance thing might have been lost in translation somewhere. I'm pretty sure he's saying he wants to keep the cast as varied as possible and not end up with the same character 45 times over or so, because that's what most people think when they think perfect balance.

I kinda disagree with that notion because I think as long as everyone has positive aspects to them (besides power anyway, since we all know how glacier characters usually fare), you can keep the cast varied and have a relatively balanced game. It wouldn't be perfect mind you, but it would be good enough.

IDK, isn't the entire purpose of competitive balance for characters to have different pros and cons? So each can have their own niche without being worthless?

Nap1100 Since: Mar, 2012
#27899: Nov 24th 2013 at 2:40:36 AM

That should be the point. The fact that every game has had a dedicated "useless" tier should tell you how well that actually worked out.

If gen 6 pokes get a rep, which one could it be? Aegislash, Goodra, Pangoro? Maybe the Pokemon Trainer could use Greninja?
