My, the Megaman focus is so wide and varied.

...And yes, Sakurai, it's impressive that you managed to accomplish what Kirby's Dream Collection already did 2 years ago on a weaker system with no issue whatsoever.

By "variety" I meant that there were more systems represented than just home console titles (as it was in Brawl). We're also looking at just a few years' worth of games and it's possible that more could be unlocked.

Speaking of that though, I meant to ask this in my last post: I remember people being annoyed when the return of the Masterpieces was announced, but no one explained why they felt that way. So I ask, what's wrong with the inclusion of Masterpieces in Smash?

I wasn't commenting on your comment so much as I was taking a bite of the obvious Snark Bait.

As for the Wii/Eshop trial demos themselves, "waste of space" is pretty much the most succinct description for them, imo.

My, the Megaman focus is so wide and varied.
Well, I mean, fundamentally, the Mega Man games are not particularly different from each other, so multiple games probably would've been excessive, and as overexposed as 2 is it's also Inafune's favorite of the series that he worked on, so Sakurai could just be trying to do him a solid.

Speaking of that though, I meant to ask this in my last post: I remember people being annoyed when the return of the Masterpieces was announced, but no one explained why they felt that way. So I ask, what's wrong with the inclusion of Masterpieces in Smash?
Well, I mean, they don't hurt anything but they don't contribute much besides a slightly better presentation of the Nintendo eShop's wares. They're kinda pointless, since they're so incredibly limited.

A lot of people have decided to stop playing with Greninja after his nerfs. Of course, I like the frog far too much to give up on him this easily. He could be bottom tier and I would still play with him.

The best players are those that can adapt to changes and make the best out of it, right? tongue

And by that Miiverse post, I think it's safe to not spoil Dr. Mario anymore.

He was already name-dropped in an earlier update.

Not that roster spoilers are particularly relevant to people at this point anyway.

I like having Masterpieces. Nintendo history demos all in one place and now there's an easier way to get them in full. "Waste of space" sounds downright dismissive since there's already ten times as much stuff as in Smash 3DS.

I probably won't buy any though because I've already played most of them, but it's the thought that counts.

At the moment. They're not going to keep a team together solely for the Miiverse stage and Mewtwo. We just won't hear about it for a long while.

It seems more like he refuses to comment, as in to keep people in the dark. DLC is obviously coming, as we were outright told.

It is possible that Mewtwo and the Miiverse stage, and the Tournament Mode I just heard about will be the only DLC for a while, though.

The page title made me think he only meant wacky premium DLC that required preorders or both consoles.

I don't know, i mean they said that Mewtwo would be made available free to purchasers of both, implying that he could be charged to Wii U-only or 3DS-only buyers. Perhaps they've changed their minds?

This makes me worry a bit, honestly. Is Mewtwo not going to be released in the eShop? If he's Lost Forever after next Spring, TO's will have to pull the Disney's Shuma/Jill rule and ban him from competitive play.

Aside from the nice Kingdom Hearts-esque logo, all that article is saying is that they aren't working on new DLC at the moment and that future DLC will have to be considered. We already know that Mewtwo, Online Tournaments, and the Miiverse stage still have to be added into the game, so I doubt he's saying that there will be absolutely no DLC after them.

We probably won't get a definitive answer on this until around this time next year, I reckon.

Or later.

Each Smash installment has a longer shelf life than most of Nintendo's other franchises.

[up][up]True. I'm actually expecting a year before we get anything new after Mewtwo and the other content is released.

In other... news, Meta Knight's amiibo will be another exclusive, this time at Best Buy.

I'm assuming that the "exclusive amiibo" promotions are either going to be temporary for each figure, or are just being exclusive because it's Smash, meaning the later, non-Smash amiibos will not be exclusive unless it's some special figure like Gold Mario or Woolly Yoshi or something like that.

I'm gonna hope that's just me being in poor form today because I swear to god.
