So I've been thinking a lot about a Smash for NX and if it ended up being a port of Smash for Wii U with more features and characters. Would there be enough time between now and the NX's launch to get out something like that either alongside the NX or later on in 2017?

Remember Nintendo's brief push for Wuhu Island from Wii Sports Resort to become a shared Nintendo hub world where games of all sorts could be set and, through reusing the same large map across games, people would become highly familiar with it? And how they proceeded to use that island again in Pilotwings 3DS and nothing else?

Not true, they used it again for Mario Kart 7 for two tracks, and though they may have made an HD one for Smash Wii U they managed to make two stages featuring the island

NX launches with Mario Party 1-5 HD Collection, and adds the jerk off minigame from the Wii one, and saves Nintendo from forever doom.

MP1 mini-games still require rotating the control stick, and all other mini-games that require mashing buttons have their controls changed to rotating the stick

I still maintain the tablet is a great idea that would've led to some really cool and unique ideas if the system were popular at all. Off-TV Play alone was a fantastic selling point for the Wii U.

The Gamepad came standard and still no developer used the piece of poo poo other than a glorified menu; wonderful, it only took a massive controller with a huge screen on it so I wouldn't have to press start, a problem I never had.

They could have shoved in gyro to the pro controller for things like Splatoon.

Splatoon needs it's second screen for coordinating which teammate you'll jump towards or where you want to set up an Inkstrike. There's no way it could be played with a normal controller when the GamePad is being used with it to its fullest capacity.

Chapter 4 is heinously boring until you get to the last level
Chapter 5 has uninteresting environmental and level design in general
Chapter 6 starts out promising, but after the world gets destroyed you go back and walk through an empty wasteland for like five minutes or more

The only ones I'd say were any good are 3 and 8, maybe 7 too

Nintendo needs third party support. Konami is creatively bankrupt. I feel like, if they got together, it could be interesting.

Konami sells its IPs to Nintendo, Snake gets brought back to Smash along with other Konami stars like Bonk, Bomberman, Alucard, and Goemon joining the battle

Still don't get why I should care about the NX when the Wii U was a commercial failure. It seems like Nintendo should be going in a completely different direction now and get out of home consoles.

Having a home console you can play on the go is extremely cool and it will blow the pants off everyone with its amazing line-up
