You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

I don't care about slopes. Literally all I want is the ability to make proper auto scrollers where Mario is slightly over to the right instead of completely pushed against the left edge, and also set in place so you can't move forward so I can make proper mine cart stages. I could do the rocket barrel easy enough with water but trying to do regular mine cart stages in other level types just resulted in people running forward and trying to platform that way instead of only using the jump button

I hope they just port TMS #FE to the Switch so more people get to play it. There's really nothing gamepad-necessary about it either, the Topic (in-game chat messaging) stuff can easily be bumped to a menu along with enemy descriptions.

A lot of things need to be ported from the WiiU to the Switch

Like Smash Bros combining all the 3DS + WiiU stages + all the DLC in a Deluxe package ala Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I was super surprised it wasn't announced during the latest Direct for a Christmas Day release.

I don't want a smash 4 dx because in my head that means we probably won't see a Smash 5.

As much as I like MK8 I kind of have the same feeling that we won't get another totally new one on the system.

Yes, good. I don't want a Smash 5. I don't want them to build an entire new game from scratch, again. Smash 4 plays perfectly fine, there's no reason to change things up again. Just bring over everything, don't make any major changes to the engine or whatever, and focus 100% of the dev time to new characters and stages.

Just say NO to Smash 5

I'd rather they save MK9 and a Smash 5 for whatever is after Switch. I want more DLC for MK8D in the meantime.

Yeah. Just put all the existing content on one cartridge, and add Twintelle, Helix, Pearl, Marina, and five more identical Fire Emblem characters

Neither do I and I love those series. They just need new content, and in Smash's case, to be on the Switch

Because it seems wasteful to me, especially for Smash. It's not like there could be a noticeable jump technically so I don't see the advantage of starting over now and redoing that insane roster/course selection. I think it would be cool if they treated both like a platform and released a course pack/character every year or so to keep things fresh.

Yes, this. there's no reason to start from scratch with this game. Just release new characters and stages and you're good

Seems to be Europe as a whole. 20% off in France too. Which makes it 32 euro... I mean 25 or 20 yes. I'm still a bit torn. Wasn't it 40% off or something in the States recently?

It's somewhere in between Melee and Brawl, not quite as floaty as Brawl, but more defense oriented than Melee.

The main thing is that 4 has Cloud and Bayonetta and Bowser Jr so why would anyone ever want to play any of the others IMO
