The next installment of Smash Bros.

Nintendo keeps a firm grip on first party properties. I'm sure they'll still be heavily involved.

It's not like they don't trip up either... literally, TRIPPING! Let's hope that's not in this one.

Here I was hoping they'd use Square Enix.

Not a fan of Smash Bros, I take it?

But why? Nintendo is the best first-party developer, IMO and many other people's opinions. Why would they risk a drop in quality on such a fantastic series? I'm worried.

Capcom developed Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.

lol, imagine if Capcom was developing Smash Bros.

They wouldn't put Mario in the game, and they'd justify it by saying Luigi can do everything Mario can do but more. Then they'd sell you a costume for Luigi that makes him look exactly like Mario.

In all honesty, I probably wouldn't buy this game again if it were being solely made by Nintendo. Seeing Namco on board, they might actually try to make a solid multiplayer experience this time instead of making a solid single-player experience while intentionally sabotaging the multiplayer experience.

I like Smash Bros, but I wanted to beat up Link with a Valkyrie or maybe a Chocobo...and control it all with my Game Boy Advance. The storyline could be about three gods - Cosmos, Chaos and Freya - all stuck on a space station while Mario saves the world from a magic meteor during a time loop. It would be alright, huh?

So which Tales character(s) do we think will be in it?

Hopefully Sheena!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

With all due respect, I have to disagree. Square Enix is just not the company it used to be. I would have little to no faith in them if they were developing Smash Bros. Even their own franchises have mostly been ruined these past ten years.

Was Fortune Street developed by Square Enix? It's pretty fun.

Yeah, they did that and Mario Sports Mix. I would not hold the ability to get kitsch, basic games like that made semi-decently as evidence that Square could handle a game as high profile as a Smash Brothers title.

My only problem with this is the fact that the last Nintendo game Namco developed was Star Fox Assault...
