Wii U's don't have Gamecube Controller compatability, right? I don't want that game then.
...the amount of stupidity in this logic is fantastic. "COMPATIBILITY OF A CONTROLLER FOR A CONSOLE RELEASED IN 2001 DOESN'T EXIST IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF THIS COMPANY'S CONSOLE, THEREFORE I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS COMPANY WITH THE PURCHASE OF A GAME". Go ahead, people, read that [censored] twice - even I'm having trouble understanding this mindset.
But I wouldn't worry too much about it either. There are still a good number of people that don't like change either - so, like Carnage said, you can just get an adaptor to get your GCN controller working on the Wii U, instead of - perish the thought - using the UPro Controller.
Smash Bros. 4 doesn't warrant a console purchase for me. I know there might be plenty of great Nintendo games on the Wii U-
I'd hold out on waiting for Nintendo-specific games on the Wii U. Currently there's a grand total of 9 Ninty-developed games, out of which 1 is an HD remake and 1 is casual garbage. Don't let it stop you though, there's a lot more games that are good without being dev'd by Ninty.
We like the classics- Project M makes Brawl hacking so nice because it brings us back to the classics.
...I'm with Miacis on this - Melee was a classic?
Scratch that, P:M was a classic? I wasn't aware hacking a game to turn it into what is pretty much a total conversion suddenly makes it a classic.
And oooh, I get it now. P:M is what makes Brawl hacking nice. Hahaha, and here I was thinking that Brawl hacking came before it, but it turns out that P:M was what created Brawl hacking in the first place. Silly me.
Personally, in fact, I don't trust that Nintendo has the right idea nailed with this upcoming Smash as well. I'll likely not even play it. Maybe play it once or twice at a friend's house for the fresh experience, but I feel like the game itself won't be the fun I'm looking for.
Yeah, combining the best of both the casual and the competitive worlds seems like not the right idea of fun. We should keep both parties eternally feuding for no good reason.
The online interactions seems nice- but I'm sure that'll just turn in to League of Legends where the only goal for ppl is to exploit the best characters to increase their rankings.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't work the way you think it works. Much less when you can only use custom movesets when you're with friends.
Plus that kind of already happens all the time in all the other online games. LoL or Smash 4 doesn't suddenly make it special.
I'd like to have a Smash to fall back on in case Smash 4 is a failure.
You have three Smashes to fall back on.
Well, really just one and a half considering your earlier statement, but still.
Also, Smash 4 might be based on files from Brawl. If so, adding hacks might be a lot easier. Just my thoughts...
Do you have any evidence to corroborate this? Y'know, back it up? Show your work?
Or maybe you just automagically have a friend's cousin's brother's uncle who works in the exact office that Sakurai is developing Smash 4 on as a janitor, and who also sends you tip-top secret images of characters and stages that you can't show because then your friend's cousin's brother's uncle would be fired?
