I only played the first Advance Wars but I used to play Nell so she’d be my recommendation for the new smash. Man, I still remember how difficult it was to unlock her. S rank all missions in advanced campaign mode. Ugh…screw you Sturm.
Actually, Smash wasn’t in development when the Wii U was announced. Sakurai and his team were working on Kid Icarus: Uprising at the time (which went gold in 2012). In fact, the announcement surprised Sakurai himself. He stated that he wasn’t going to start working on it until Kid Icarus was done.
I’m aware. That’s why development was in quotes. I was simply making the point that between the game’s announcement and UMvC’s release, there is the possibility that some kind of conversation took place.
Don’t mind if they drop some of the older characters as long as my favorites (Samus, Kirby, Luigi and Marth) are still around.
Only outside of Japan, Square Enix still farms DQ for its legendary status within the home country but has left the publishing/distribution to Nintendo in Europe and North America for, counting the ports of older games, the last six or seven games. Lazy fucks.
After seeing the trailer and how much care went into Megaman’s design, I really think Nintendo could do a lot with the IP if they had control over it. Capcom clearly has no idea what to do with him (if they even care at this point), and his inclusion in Smash will breathe new life into the character’s fanbase.
As much as I like Ganondorf I think it’s about high time the old man retired, he was looking pretty crotchety in SSBB. I would love to have a complete new Zelda villain this time around despite how iconic Ganon was.
