Wish I had cash money. Day one buy for the multiplayer alone

He gets to do one game of his own and then its back to Smash Bros. Its a damn shame, it really seems like enjoyed doing Uprising. Don't get me wrong, I love the fuck out of some Smash Bros., but it seems like he wants to do more of his own shit like this.

Yeah I saw this earlier. A few impression
The multiplayer looks like it takes a few ideas from Air Ride's City Trials, as well as Smash Bros. He even has a 3 part assemble-able super item to fight over. You know, just like the dragoon. Damn he must like those things. He also likes reusing menus.

Everything looks really nice. But what I'm really excited for is the 9 difficulty modes. No more easy ass Nintendo shit.

He quit HAL Laboratories because Nintendo kept limiting his creative freedom by constantly assigning him to sequels. I bet they gave him Kid Icarus on the condition that he make another Smash afterwards.

>9 difficulty

God yes. About fucking time. You think Nintendo has been listening to our complaints? Or is this just Sakurai being a bro like he usually is?

>>130521421

He's no longer working for Nintendo.

>>130521275
>>130521421
It's more than 9. It's a floating point scale. That's right, decimals in a difficulty setting. Fucking genius.

>>130521421
Nah, Sakurai's a total bro. Did you see the quote from him earlier about how he recognized Brawl's faults, and will do his best to fix them in the next game, because "if the players are happy, I'm happy"

What a guy. Most devs would have defended the game as perfect and rejected the opinion of their community.

>>>130521275
So you can play the game at whatever difficulty you want, from easy shit to fucking impossible, and anywhere in between...

DAY ONE BUY

>>130521672

Really? I wonder how intense it'll get. Well will this game come out by the way? My body is fucking ready

I fucking love Medusa

The weapon system looks really robust. Any word on exactly how many weapons are in the game?

Hold on, I just watched it. You wager hearts on higher difficulties, right? Well you can PAY hearts to make everything super easy.
It's like a non-shitty version of Nintendo's super guide-whatevers. Not only is it not in your face and frustrating when you start to lose, it'll actually encourage casual to get better because they lose hearts for going super low.

Oh god not this shit again.
Yes he is.

>>130522114
17 MILLION GUNS

NEEDS MORE WUB WUB

>>130522324
Well frankly it's kind of complicated. He owns his own company, Sora Ltd, but he's also part of a Nintendo first part developer, Project Sora. If you have a firmer grasp on the situation could you clear it up for me?

>>130522221

Oh wow, a system that actually caters to the more experienced gamer. So... how far do you think it'll go past 9?

>>130522505
Oh I thought you were one of those guys.
Last time a thread we discussed Nintendo people were insisting games made by Retro did not count as Nintendo games because Retro is a 2nd party (jokes on them Retro is a fucking 1st party) and the whole thing went to shit.

>>130522524
Well Smash Bros AI only goes to 9 too, but we can hope that's just coincidence.

Check out 9:51. Theres a metroid!

Why am I thinking of a 3D smash bros?

I went from zero interest to desire to buy in a single video. Good work, Sakurai. Good work.

>>130522724
I'm noticing a lot of common things between stuff like Air Ride, Melee, Kid Icarus and Brawl.

I think Sakurai has a thing about connecting his games somehow. We know ideas are in no short supply for him, why else would he do stuff like this

>>130522879
he has his things

notice the Brawl UI is directly ripped from Air Ride

I'm buying this, even if it appears to be overblown garbage. I need club coins for the eventual Dillon's Rolling Western gift.

>>130522808
There's some reason behind this that I can't think of right now

>>130522808
check out the original kid icarus, there's metroid too!

>>130523052
>>130523094
Would you look at that. I never played Kid Icarus so I had no idea. I love the easter eggs they put into Nintendo games, always a pleasure to see.

>>130522985
Watch the video. The Kid Icarus UI looks like a non-rainbow version of the Brawl one. And then go play Air Ride, and notice it uses the same menu sounds as Melee and has the same food

>>130523152

Same, did not know that about Kid Icarus. So it's not just Kirby's Dreamland 3 that did it.....

Check out the streetpass features. They don't suck! You can get "weapon gems" from anyone you pass that also has KI. You can use the weapon fusion system to fuse the weapon gems with your weapons, cash them in for a few hearts to get the weapon in the gem, or just redeem the gems for free hearts.

Too bad this shit works better in Nippon. What are the chances of passing too many people who have both a 3DS and KI

Am I the only person that doesn't like Sakurai much?

I used to like him before Smash Bros. Brawl came out and he implemented anti-competition mechanics to try to force the game to be party-mode only.

Forced tripping, slow gravity, no manual L-Cancelling, knockback reduction in addition to damage reduction for using stale moves, the removal of directional air dodging, etc.

Melee was extremely fun as both a party game and in its own competitive scene. In those days both scenes coexisted fine. Ever since Brawl came out, it just destroyed the good part of the competitive scene because of how much the game was changed. In many ways it got worse, mechanically. In some ways it got better.

I really do hope Sakurai did learn his lesson though. I'm just not happy with how Brawl turned out and frankly I'd rather have someone else direct the next Smash game. Way too much focus was put into the crappy adventure mode that nobody liked anyways.


Kid Icarus Uprising looks fun though, even if it's just about nothing like the previous Kid Icarus games.

Why does Sakurai look young?
