I don't think BIS needed a remake, the original was already perfect

I think this is going to be a whole new game. Based on a few comments from Sakurai's Twitter and the general look they are giving it. It seems pretty fresh.

I've heard people say that it's because BIS relied heavily on the DS's duel screens meaning it needed to be released on a DS. PiT didn't really utilize the top screen, so it could end up on the Switch at some point. Other rumors suggest the amount of new graphics needed for PiT compared to BIS and the popularity of BIS. I have a feeling the dark tone of PiT also influenced the decision.

why immediately assume its a port when link is redesigned, inkling is here, the title looks different, and why make a teaser for a port?

I'd rather it not be a port, but like Smash Bros Wii U has only been out for 3 years. I guess I could see them making a new Smash Bros for the Switch but right now I'm slightly leaning more to the port side.

Port is relative, I mean it seems unnecessary to build an entire new engine and character models from scratch. But you could spend some time reskinning and tweaking things, adding a few new modes and items to make it feel like a new game. The fact is they could simply re-release Wii U version with all the DLC and a few minor tweaks/additions and this would fly off the shelf, and their shareholders would probably be pissed if they didn't take the easy money.

kinda like majoras mask then, id be down with that, though there are hints of a new theme song to so it would be more of a whole new game using the same assets and characters, still thats cool if thats the case

Wow, thanks that's interesting

Time really does go by fast.

I'd still like it, I was never able to get my hands on the Wii U version so it would all be new to me.

How about /Swash/ ? I'd like to see Captain Toad, a character that can't jump would be interesting

I think what is more likely is that they continue the Mario & Luigi series and just drop Paper Mario. Maybe all these M&L remakes is a way to keep the series (and maybe Fawful) relevant as they lead up to a new title. I don't really blame them, since the paper theme is kinda played out as far as it can go. Personally I'd like to see a "Super Mario & Luigi" platformer RPG.

I've never really gotten into the M&L series but I want to get into it (at least after my exams). To be honest though, I just want a game like Paper Mario TTYD.

So I guess it's not gonna be a whole new game?

well that is something

well all we need is a butterfly photography simulator

and there is probably going to another year without one | | -

I cannot help but suspect it is~! Though the Wii U's short lifespan might make it feel like it hasn't been long enough since the previous game, a new Smash Bros is usually released within a couple of years of a new console's release. Right on time!

The turtles in smash would be kinda cool, but they'd feel really out of place

color=purple: Donatello wins! https://splatoon.nintendo.com/news-video/splatfest-results-donnie-wins-final/

for some reason im hoping the final boss of kirby star allies will be in smash, its like 0.1% possible but still

You mean Void Termina? That would be pretty freaking cool. I'd like to see Nightmare as well, he was my favourite final boss of the Kirby franchise.

Magolor better tho

He's really not. Firstly, the older games were better than Return to Dreamland, which was just sort of meh. Magolor was ok I guess, but he seemed a lot less threatening than Nightmare, didn't provide a real challenge, and when it was over I was like "seriously? That's it?". Anyway, each to their own and all that.

out of the final bosses in the "return to dreamland" games void termina is by far my favorite, and in terms of character design he is among my favorites in kirby as a whole, which is why id love to see him in smash somehow, nightmare would be awesome too since his assist trophy is pretty underwhelming.

I hope that it is gonna be a new game instead of a port

Super Mario & Luigi platformer RPG

LETS A GO!

badass Daemon X Machina trailer. a flying mech action shooter Super Mario Party Switch... looks like a good fit for the console Fire Emblem switch next year Fortnight switch today

SMASH ULTIMATE: EVERYONE IS HERE. all characters returning along with DAISY (Peach clone), INKLINGS, and **RIDLEY** Dec 7th

"re-release Wii U version with all the DLC and a few minor tweaks/additions" nailed it

Well, if it's ultimate, then you can't really get a better smash, so it still gives that impression in the title, but Final Smash would have been a much, much cooler title

Well, I certainly hope it's not the end for the Smash series as I really enjoy it, but I have to agree with KarToon that Final Smash would have been a cooler title. Maybe since they didn't name it Final Smash we are guaranteed another Smash game in the future?

In my opinion, I think that this game is not the end. I expect plenty of more smash games after Ultimate.

kyekekeke; they added bigley

Sakurai won't want to make another one, but I think you're right, Nintendo will probably want to keep milking the Smash cow

Yeah, Sakurai will probably start focusing his work on Kid Icarus or something instead of Smash, but in the future, when Sakurai stops making Smash, I wonder who will take his place.

Ridley was the one where I actually sat up and cheered. Until I saw his 59% damage attack, that was stupid.

Lol Luigi and yoshi at the end

I'd rather just give it a new name. Rebrand it as its own thing. Or just call it Wii2. I think it would've made it more obvious that it was a new console.

When I was 10 I made a comic that had a scorpion-man as a villain. He had claw hands and a scorpion tail and wore a cape. I think he also had a mustache. nice avatar btw
