SSB4

[Macawmoses]

That is when they can milk it.....Smash is extremely limited in its' essence. You take a bunch of characters, and make them fight. That's essentially it, the core of the game. You can't constantly reinvent it like you could, say, Mario, or Pokemon.

So using filler characters makes a good game? Birdo and characters as such are just that.

You might as well call every clone from SSBM a filler character.


Alot of the trophys that you can unlock can be played as characters, they just need to have a good moveset. Thats all there is to it.

[Macawmoses]

I don't count clones fillers, because Falco and Ganon actually mean something to their series. Things like Mii's, Birdo, random Pokemon that don't contribute to the series, characters like Waluigi that were made in a spinoff, etc.

SSB4, not SSBB4.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo and/or HAL own the rights to the Smash name, and not Sora or Sakurai. Nintendo could make SSB4, no matter what Sakurai says. Will they? Probably not.

Will there be one? Most likely. Money is everything.

SSB4, not SSBB4.

Ahh, thanks, first person top point that out to me!!!

Also, there's tons from Brawl that can be improved upon. For instance, the Subspace Emissary... It just left you so... Empty. Just seemed like a mode where you go around, hoping you find new stickers and trophies, with no depth whatsoever. The story was a little moving, but all-in-all, it had a lot going for it, but didn't live up to its name. The characters were never really suited for the side-scrolling portions (which was basically every level), Peach to name one.

Stage Builder felt VERY limited. Instead of just paper, 2D backgrounds, maybe some real-time backgrounds? It wouldn't hurt to see some clouds moving or some water running. Also, the limit bar has to go, or at least be increased. I always get a good concept of a stage in my head, but it can't be done because of a freaking limit.

It also wouldn't hurt to attempt to try and balance the characters AGAIN...

I might be sounding a bit needy, but this is just my ideas of some improvements...  :|

Didn't Brawl sell faster than any Nintendo game in the history of Nintendo games?

I don't think Nintendo wants to end the series that did that...

[FruitFlow]

The poll question speaks for the whole topic. Do you think that it is probable that it will happen?

Also, post some logical reasons... I really want it to happen, but I get discouraged when Sakurai states that Brawl was literally the "Brawl to end them all".

That can mean many things, but I see what you mean.

But yeah, I don't think Sakurai is gonna make another one, he seemed really tired of doing the Smash Series (though I'm sure it's hard work in all, IMO he's nuts to let something like this just end)

But what ever...

Yeah. After seeing how long it took for it to make it's release and the massive amount of delays it had, there's no telling how this is gonna turn out.
I really wouldn't mind seeing another Smash Bros. make it's way some time in the future though.
But that probably won't happen till a super long time.

Definitely. They won't just drop it, everybody loves it. They'll make more, with the guy or without him.

[Macawmoses]

That's such a bare bones statement. Who is everybody? If "everybody" loved it, we wouldn't have a poor sap on this board that owes his friend money for thinking this would sell faster than Halo 3. Saying "everybody" loves Halo 3 is still a broad statement, but it has more merit to it.

[Nayrman]

Smash has never been the top selling franchise, Mario, Pokemon, LoZ, in that order.

SSB - sold almost half a million copies overall
SSBM - best selling Gamecube title (for lack of anything else on the system besides Metroid Prime, but I digress)
SSBB - sold over a million copies already

it sells quite well thank you...
definatly going to be a fourth. Hell, they just have to fix online and add a couple characters and I'd be happy XD

Fine, most people like it. :P

Maybe this will change some of the doubter's opinions?
"It?s interesting, because after every Smash Bros. game I?ve made, I?ve always felt at that time that I?ve left nothing out. However, I also understand that there are millions of fans out there who love the series so if Mr Iwata came to me in a few years time and asked me to make another one, I?d have to give it some serious thought."

I don't think there will be another one.

For one, Nintendo has less and less characters at their disposal, sure, we could list 100 they could use in a fourth installment, but part of making money is brand recognition. You can't start filling the slots with characters most haven't heard of. On top of that, there are less and less new characters......Lobe doesn't fit too well, Olimar does. Sure, Captain Rainbow might be a choice....but that's what.....one new character? Add in Ghor/Rundas/name I can't spell, there is two new characters, and we'll even be as bold as adding in Rosalina. That is hardly any "new" characters.

On top of that, part of Smash is besting the one before it....it isn't exactly easy to keep finding new and original stages, items, plots, etc. The amount of work would be huge.

Sure, there is a chance of it, but I doubt it at this point.

I see alot of flaws in your post.

Chances are, since we are of a younger genration the some of the characters that made it into the Smash series (Seriously, not many here have actually played Kid Icarus, even know who Ness was until someone explained he was from Earthbound. Unless you palyed one of the first FE games, you wouldn't know where Marth came from, same goes for Roy.).  Towards your comment about Lobe and Olimar, Lobe could have made it in, hes practically identical to Oli but blue, and when it comes down to it I could give to poops which small Pikmin scavanger I can play as. I mean, you could have just made a second color that looks just like him similar to what they did with Wario.

Also, I don't see how you guys don't think theres enough people to still put in Brawl. Theres still tons from the Mario series, like Waluigi, Birdo, etc. You can just as easily take a different class  from the fire emblem series ( I haven't played FE in awhile, but I remember a class where there was this tank with a spear) All you need to do is take a popular character in that class and boom, you have a new FE character.

And theres always room to improve on movesets...Just think I'd like to comment that DKs first appearance was shown by him throwing Barrels, so why doesn't he do so in Smash?

Nintendo will carry on the Smash Series, Im 100% sure it will. When Sakurai said "The Brawl to End them all" That could easily be mistakened for a metaphor for "This is the best Smash Brothers game yet!"

I 100% agree with you, and there are alot of new series comming out, and 3rd parties make the deal alot sweeter. Only amazingly picky people wouldn't buy Smash Bros. because there are "too many" characters from a particular series.

[RedYoshi]

They might make one on the DS or something else minor but probably not on a console or a major title like Brawl, Melee, etc.

50-50
if it did happen it would be directed by nintendo, not sakurai. and it would be for nintendo's next big console, whenever that comes out.
