Before Smash 4 hit, I don't think I ever had a preference for announcer voices or even acknowledged the announcer that much to begin with. But Xander HAS to be my favorite out of all of them, just off of sheer charisma and his genuine love of Smash. Never stop being awesome, mister _SUPER AWESOME VOICEOVER MAN ! !_ edit: Also, as a competitive Smash player, finding out about the "no Johns" thing IN SSB4 was hilarious to me. Nearly choked on my drink. Holy shit.
wait.... there is a different announcer in each game..... I thought they all had the same announcer....... I need to go back and listen to all the announcers now because I had no clue they were different....
Canadian Food Yes, they're different in each game. However, I originally thought that Brawl's announcer came back for Smash 4. Nope -- they just sound similar. Xander is awesome :)
***** Agreed. It seems rude that some fans would consider "The 3DS version was just to hype up the fans for the Wii U version" or "The 3DS version was terrible." People, keep in mind that the 3DS and Wii U version (while are the same game) were meant for two different reasons. The one for the 3DS was obviously created for portability (unless you plan to bring your Wii U everywhere), and the Wii U version was clearly meant to have more capabilities with updates in graphics and controls. Overall, you can't really compare two systems that had two completely different purposes in displaying a single game. Plus, do keep in mind that not all of us can afford a Wii U.
Lydia Kuan Okay sure, not everyone can afford a Wii U. So having a 3DS version is fine. I just wish it didn't take away from all of us who can afford a Wii U and that version. Would it really matter if the Ice Climbers where in the Wii U version and not the 3DS version?
SuperConroy99 It gets even sadder when you think about all the people who give him and other people crap for small stuff they don't like, when they are only trying to give us a game so we can have fun and they actually put their all into making it and get a ton of complaints back.
Ya know, the explanations for the clones being in and ice climbers being cut make a bit of sense, but not making a story mode with cut-scenes like subspace emissary just because it will be uploaded online is kind of a poor excuse.
They really made a bad choice not adding another single player adventure to the newest editions. Subspace Emissary was Brawl's bread and butter for me personally, but I guess most people just play it as a party game or competitively.
I didn't have very good WiFi when I had Brawl, so the Emissary was pretty much all I had to play, besides the other offline modes, and I loved the hell out of it. I just find it so depressing that it was removed for a reason so shallow. I mean, what video game, in all of existence, doesn't have cutscenes online somewhere? They didn't remove them from any other game, so why this one?
I super agree with that. And considering that Smash Run and to a greater extent Smash Tour are kind of limp and uninteresting, it makes that lack of a story mode hurt my opinion of Smash 4 so much more. Mechanically it's an awesome game, but with no in-game cutscenes or boss fights, and with the characters being so easy to unlock, there's very little fanfare in any of it. I don't play competitively and most of the time I don't even play with other people, so I was p. bummed by the comparatively lame single-player options.
Sakurai's logic is that of an angry grade schooler whose ballet recital was shown to everyone in his class. "Since everyone saw it, I'm just gonna never do it ever again!" I repeat: Sakurai's reason for a SSE-type game mode not being in Smash 4 is immature and childish! Your cutscenes were posted on UA-cam? WELCOME TO THE GAMING INDUSTRY, YOU DUMBASS!
I agree, even though I never really returned to the Subspace Emissary. It made Brawl feel like a complete game; in my opinion, Sm4sh feels very empty, soulless, and lacking content without an adventure mode. So far, PvP is the only fun I've had with Sm4sh and that's it really.
Adrian Beaky Yeah, I agree with the points you brought up. I ended up unlocking every character from just playing with my girlfriend for a couple of hours, pretty much. You started out with so many characters, too, which I thought was a bummer. Pacman, Mega Man and the like could really have stood to be near-end unlockables, since they were such interesting characters. I can honestly say I much prefer Brawl over Smash 4.
+Tom de Kler Its another way for it to get out there that making a game for a community with a blind fanbase is hard but of course being blind its still hard to get their message across. Sucks to see Xander waste his time with this, maybe the message would have cut deeper if they decided to mention the ballot with shrek goku and superman literally up in the top spots!
My favorite character from super mario smash bros is zelda. Shes like the most Iconic Xbox 360 character pretty much ever. With her amazing sword, her triforce of courage. And her green hat is super cool!
+Jams Channel It's not that it made people want to not play it, but that it downplays the excitement of seeing the cut-scenes for the first time. Still, I disagree with Sakurai, because some people watching the cutscenes online doesn't justify cutting the feature entirely. To correct a minor confusion, people weren't uploading gameplay videos - they were uploading the cutscenes entirely. Back when Brawl came out, gaming videos and channels usually popular. The ones that were tended to be scripted like AVGN.
+Jams Channel why focus the effort into cutscenes when you could focus that effort into the character announcement trailers, thus allowing you to effectively manage the entire PR of it?
It's Sakurai's team. Nothing to do at all with the Kingdom Hearts character. Don't you hear he say at every Smash video "I'm Masahiro Sakurai from Sora Limited"
Hey guys, Sakurai poured his blood, sweat, and tears into making this amazing new Smash Bros. game! Let's talk shit about it and be all salty because a couple characters got cut and Ridley's not in it!
not all of us are like that. You can state your opinion, and talk about how there are things you may not like about Smash 4, but still like it and play it. Do I hate that All Star mode is already unlocked when you boot up the game? yes, do I hate how Break the Targets has become Angry Birds? yes. But does that stop me from playing? no. I also miss how Classic Mode was in Melee. I loved Race to the Finish and the Metal Mario fight. I still love to play it regardless of how there are things that I wish could be done better.
***** Rildey is a giant boss enemy that has appeared in almost every metroid game. People want he him in because he's one of the only other metroid characters and they want more reps for the metroid series in smash. But people are disagreeing because he's too big, and if you look at the metroid games...he is too big.
gamer39985 Just because Metroid has one (two) reps is not a good enough excuse to put him in. Why is Wario the only rep for his games? People love Ashley. Why is Ness the only rep for his game? A few characters you can choose from in this one. Why is Shulk the only rep for his game? I know nothing about this game, but im sure people love someone else other than Shulk. Why is MegaMan the only rep for his games? Pretty sure people love Bass or whatever, I don't know a lot about MegaMan. etc.
as i look at the comments i see this alot... "So its ok to shrink bowser and make olimar bigger but its not ok to shrink ridley" 1st: Bowser wasn't shrunk AT ALL, he was always that size. 2nd: Olimar's size doesn't matter with him, he's still Olimar, and plus, who knows, the planet may just have everything huge. 3rd: i agree with Sakurai, Ridley wouldn't be Ridley if he was small, i mean would it look normal to you if ridley was going up against Samus and ridley was the size of her?
1. In the most recent games, bowser is HUGE. (New SMB Wii, Mario Galaxy, 3D land, etc) 2. Olimar is supposed to be 1 inch tall. Kirby is supposed to be 8 inches tall. Yet both a rescaled. 3. Sakurai is such a hypocrite. He says "Ridley wouldn't be Ridley." Yet he completely ignores the fact that Ganondorf is NOTHING like he is in Zelda. He's still a C.Falcon clone. So technically, Ganon hasn't been Ganon despite being in 3 Smash games. It's just lazy
a nus ok, i know for a fact the first three can fly, but Sonic and Pac-Man can't - . - Sonic can only fly when in Super Sonic form, and Pac-Man never could fly.
a nus I'd like to go a step further than you in regards to "staying true to the characters". Making Ridley not fly is apparently unfaithful, but making Ganondorf the way he is isn't? Making Ike, a speedy character with average power into a slow as fuck powerhouse isn't? That's just broken logic. I'd rather Sakurai just say he didn't want Ridley than provide an inconsistent explination.
I'm still pissed about there not being a story mode in the new Smash. It was my favorite part of Brawl, and their excuse is that they don't want the cutscenes leaking out onto the internet. How is that any different than literally any other game in existence?
Please understand. Sakurai said that he didn't want the cutscenes to feel like they were rewards, that way the game could focus more on the player having fun opposed to them just playing extensively for the chance to watch a short clip.
His reasoning was obviously pretty dumb, but I'm pretty sure the other reason it was excluded was because if they were to include a story mode, the game would probably not have been released by now. They wanted it out as soon as possible.
The simple fact was a lot of the more vocal people did not care about it, or downright disliked Subspace Emissary, even though a lot of people liked it.
To be fair, we always had cut-scenes and playthroughs always being uploaded on the internet. Sometimes, the game's cutscenes actually gets uploaded before the game is even released, causing early spoilers. A good example I can think of is Sonic Forces, people actually had early access to the Nintendo Switch version before the game was even released, and fans can't help uploading playthroughs of it before it's actual release. This same thing actually happened to Sonic Mania. If Super Smash Bros Ultimate included a story mode, than I'd be worried that this 'people can get early access to the lastest Switch game before it officially comes out' thing would happened to Ultimate again, and you know what LPers are like. So, in other words, I actually agree with Sakurai in this case.
Spyder Soup Ok, but if Sakurai came up to you and gave you these two options, what would you pick? 1. Gives you a full-fledged story with awesome cutscenes, but he tells you how it ends. 2. No story AT ALL, and therefore no spoilers. I’m usually pretty good at avoiding spoilers (not all of them) but I’d honestly rather be spoiled than not have an adventure mode at all.
Broshi lol let's be honest. He didn't do one for smash 4 bc its a game on the wii u a non successful console. Why break ur ass on a story mode on the least selled smash. And he had ultimate on his mind, in which looks like there will be one
There's also a South Park reference. In a loading screen tip talking about Toon Links down air being different than Links it says "If you try to dunk someone with Toon Link you're going to have a bad time"
I have massive respect for Sakurai. It really bugs me when he is criticised. He is so hard working and does everything he can to please the fans as much as possible, yet people still find things to complain about. Please fanbase of Smash Bros. Have some respect for the legend.
***** By that logic I should respect George Lucas for creating the prequels. Screw respect. Do your job right and I'll buy your game. That should be enough.
"sakurai does everything he can to please the fans" yeah not really he straight up made shittier games out of spite towards competitive players because he knows that casuals dont care about gameplay beyond the surface level
Yeah well, it's not like it's a meme created by someone else, that was an ingame animation it was even nodded at during a recent Nintendo DIrect showing the clip, I imagine it could work similar to Cap Falcon's Smash, just replace the copyright soundtrack for some hard metal and baby you have a stew going
Gotta say, I agree with the clones... -MAKE RIDLEY A CHARIZARD CLONE CHARACTER!- But seriously, I just think making them their own thing with a few other moves is okay, no reason for an outcry.
***** completely agree. Literally waste of space. They should've an entirely new set of moves. That way they would be "new characters" instead of "clones".
***** 1. Dr. Mario's Pill's deal twice as much damage as the Fireballs, have more hitstun, and are thrown at a slower speed. Also, his down special is COMPLETELY different. 2. Like 3 clones would make a 46-character roster look bigger. They were added as versions of characters that had slightly different attributes, as Lucina is to Marth as Roy was to Marth, Dr. Mario (Smash 4) to Mario as Ganondorf (Melee) to Captain Falcon, and Dark Pit to Pit as Falco to Fox (Or Melee Dr. Mario to Mario.)
XpenANDpaperX There isn't a limit of characters the game can have. They were added at the end of development as a little treat for the fans, just like the Melee clones.
Not really. Ridley is about the same size of Bowser and Ganondorf combine. Ganondorf is at least 10 feet tall. Bowser is usually 8 feet tall. Ridley is 15 - 18 feet tall depending on the game.
i'm not sure how i feel about the new ones. It's the original Toa on a new island with masks based on their old ones but seem to have the elements as opposed to speed, strength, etc...
+Rain Awareness yeah day and night even on weekends and holidays, he pours a lot of love for smash yet people complain that something didn't go their way.
Rain Awareness you are completely dissing Sakurai for all the pain and hard work he spent working on these games for his whining fans yet still gets shitted on
I'm kind of glad to hear about the "no Johns" story. I had heard the phrase before but never knew where it came from, and I think it's kind of cool that the guy it was based on doesn't let it effect him.
Hina Face Noooot true, I don't see it as a pain. I have Smash where ever I go. And if someone has the Wii U version, and get down with playing it on their console. Cant use the GC controller for some odd reason? Whip out the 3DS and connect. Seems like a savior to me.
it has been 9 years but i just noticed at 2:48 when talking about alts that became there own fighters doc mario is said but dark pit is just called pit shows how much people care for the alts
***** Capcom and Sega were no match for them, why would a minor and completely dead franchise with more unique gameplay and nostalgia than Duck Hunt be a problem to license? Most Smash Bros fans weren't ALIVE when Duck Hunt was a game. I even know all the moves B&K would have, and would have made for a much more compelling dual-character since the removal of Ice Climbers. If Ness was not literally a godlike Japanese pet character of the developers, he wouldn't have made it in in the first place. Duck Hunt is a worse step backwards, and a desperate gag character. The bear and bird would be a little bit of Yoshi, a little bit of Bowser, they could fly/float like Peach/Charizard/MetaKnight, their egg attacks would vary in cycles like Peach's turnips, his save jump would be the Flap-flip backflip. The combos write themselves, and there is so much that could be drawn from the games for their Final Smash. Mumbo and Bottles and Grunty could have been Assists or Trophies, and THERE IS JUST SO MUCH THEY COULD DO.
JakesFavorites You're forgetting or not realizing Microsoft owns the franchise now. Unlike Sega and Capcom, Microsoft has their own console so unless if Nintendo buys the franchise it's going to be next to impossible to get the rights. Sure Banjoe and Kazooie would be a much better edition than Duck Hunt Duo but Nintendo can only do want they can do.
***** I mean, other than just the cost of licensing the characters, it would have been a better choice for their target audience. Nintendo is really scraping the bottom of the barrel with their original content, and was when they put R.O.B. and Pit into Brawl. Sega and Capcom make their own games too. Solid Snake and others had games of their own that were way more popular than the forbidden 360 reboot of Rare. It would be a, if not the, best way to redeem the franchise and the characters that are just as beloved as Donkey and Diddy Kong. If Ness, Pac Man, Mega Man, and the others are worth keeping, they should have put in Banjo.
JakesFavorites People have wanted Banjo and Kazooie in smash since the first game. The difference is between those characters and ones already in Smash is that either Nintendo owns the character or they are owned by a company that Nintendo are friendly with like Sega or Capcom. Microsoft has the Xbox so they are rival companies. Nintendo wouldn't license a Microsoft game either if they could do it for free. Like the Donkey Kong Country series Nintendo would have to buy the Banjo and Kazooie series and keep in mind that both Nintendo and Microsoft would have to agree to this. To conclude everyone would love to have on Smash but getting them on Smash would be extremely difficult. If Microsoft was a 3rd party company then it would be different.
The amount of thought the developers put into this game is really mind-blowing. It's thinking like that that's kept Nintendo at the head of the video game industry for so long. They put attention into every detail.
Even though I feel hella alone on this, I'm pretty bummed that Isaac didn't get put into Smash 4. It was a chance to get recognition for a game series that honestly deserves it, and on top of that, Isaac would fit in PERFECTLY. Imagine his final smash as Megiddo or Judgment. Hot damn. But I digress, oh well.
There is a HUGE difference with resizing Ridley and resizing Bowser/Ganondorf You can change the Size of Bowser/Ganondorf as much as you like and they'll still feel the same. Resizing Ridley would change Ridley a lot.
Sakurai needs/needed to realize that in game cutscenes are no longer a gameplay reward for players in the industry anymore. Because of the internet, and video game's cutscenes are going to be placed online, and this is something I'm very surprised he did not anticipate when making Brawl. Incorporating the CGI cutscenes into the trailers for the game was pretty nice, but I'm still upset they he decided not to make a storyline anyway. In fact, making a full movie would have been even better.
1:50 It's a dumb reason. Just make a default Mii skin. Make it where only YOU can see your skin and everyone else gets a default avatar for their mii. 3:31 Good on you Sakurai. That was exactly my thinking. Ridley wouldn't be Ridley if you shrunk him down. 5:33 Haha. You guys should link his channel in the description too and not just his twitter. He DOES have a youtube channel after all.
The fact that he was committed at all is amazing, especially considering that he did not want a sequel for brawl in the first place. Imagine how EA would have handled this. It would have been closer to "Cut half the content from the previous entry and include 27 overpriced DLC packs". And Sakura did it with a (practically) BROKEN ARM!
+asian rebel somehow i think there more work that goes into the actually game than the cutscenes. Its not like Smash Brothers is story heavy game to begin with. Imagine if miyamoto said cut all the story to Breath of the Wild. Because someone online might see it. Hell im still in the middle of the game and have unlock half of the memories. I could just go on youtube and watched them all. But that kinda misses the point of playing the game. Most of the people who watch these cutscenes have already played the game. And anyone who hasn't probably has no intention of playing the game in the first place.
I see Ridley here on these comments. I can't see how a delicate Ridley trophy (characters seen in Melee and Brawl are trophies) would be owned, as the guys fights with all the character with that. That figure would break. Flat wings, etc.
well in marvel 3 he is drasicly different from everyone and for him to be in smash it would take an ungodly amount of time to code. And besides we have megaman
The thing is that re sizing works for certain characters, and doesn't for others. This isn't rocket science dude. Just stop hoping for ridley to come in, it's not going to happen.
Bowser's size has varied in a ton of games. It doesn't feel unnatural to have him the size he is in Smash. Ridley, however, has always been giant and it would feel weird if he was shrunk down to fit the fighters.
Oh my god, in some words I can definitely hear Joker. I know I'm supposed to be appreciating the fact that he's the actual announcer from Smash 4 and Ultimate, but I can't help but appreciate him as Joker more.
Aw man! To get to hear the Announcer himself do one of these for Smash is a dream come true!! I knew it would happen one day, but it surprised me to see it as a reality!
I can't be the only one who has played all of the smash games (except for the first one) and has never had a complaint on any smash game ever. I'm not even a casual. I play For Glory online all the time. Is it possible I'm just happy with what I have?
Crowd Control Congratulations! You're the only grateful Smash Bros. competitive player out there! But seriously, you're the first grateful competitive player I've seen
Campbell Love Oh yeah, I understand that, but most casual Smash players would probably rather play with friends and things, or play on "For Fun" rather than play For Glory. I was just trying to say that I'm not a total casual when it comes to Smash, so people wouldn't completely disregard what I had to say.
3:04 I never understood this mindset. How exactly can fans possibly know that a certain character "stole" a slot from another potential character who may not have even been considered anyway?
MagnificantSasquatch Agreed. Unless the developer actually comes out and says that "character x won this slot over character y", I fail to see why this is a convincing argument.
It's fucking surreal having played hundreds of hours of Persona 5 and hearing Joker say tiny little clips and then rewatching this then realizing this is basically him normally talking
Whoa Lucas came out of nowhere since he got confirmed during the new Nintendo Direct but he'll be available on June. So that means Wolf and Ice Climber Popo and Nana separated will return as DLC too. There's still hope in Smash future and anything can change! =D Still sad and still disappointed that Takamaru and Chrom aren't playable in the game but for Ridley not being playable, well it doesn't bother me because he would be more difficult to control him so seeing him as a boss in Brawl Subspace Emissary, Wii U Pyrosphere and in the Metroid series is fine to me. ^_^ Now that's a wonderful surprise! Having the actual SSB4 English and Japanese Announcer on a Did you know gaming Super Smash Bros episode. =D
Boy do I have news for you. You can play as Wolf, Ice Climbers, and hell… Even Ridley, in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Hell… As the game slogan said when it first came out, everyone’s here. Even Banjo and Kazooie of all characters. Granted, they are DLC, but I’m still counting them God damn it. And hey, we even got Sora.
You know, as cool as Sakurai is to literally jeopardize his health to give us Smash, I think it's time for a new director to give it a shot. As far as I'm concerned, he seems to hate making sequel upon sequel. Not to mention that Sakurai is very stubborn and sometimes unwilling to change things. The only problem would be finding someone who can replace such a legendary director. I would hate it if it was Miyamoto or Aonuma. I can already smell the flames...Go, Chandelure!
The problem with Miyamoto is that he seems to prefer innovation over gameplay. Skyward Sword is probably the best example of this. Instead of jsut easily pressing a button to throw a bomb or something, you have to actually swing your controller around, and a lot of times it doesn't even register
I think Chrom could be a Clone fighter of Ike instead of Lucina since he has bigger role in Fire Emblem Awakening but takes a little bit more development time than Lucina, but i am still happy since Chrom is in Smash Ultimate
You got the actual announcer?
Now that's _smashing_!
He's a pretty cool guy not surprised he did it.
God dammit, Carlos!
Godamnit Nigel.
First he's on The Completionist, now he's on DYKG. It's awesome that he's collaborating with UA-camrs. :D
Everyone go home! This guy made the joke, there's nothing left to say

edit: Also, as a competitive Smash player, finding out about the "no Johns" thing IN SSB4 was hilarious to me. Nearly choked on my drink. Holy shit.
hopefully Nintendo keeps him for future Smash games
I love the way he says BOWSER (pause) JR

Yes, they're different in each game. However, I originally thought that Brawl's announcer came back for Smash 4. Nope -- they just sound similar. Xander is awesome :)
Compared to Brawl, which sounded a little rushed when that announcer said stuff. A little happy, too, for some reason.
I wonder how crazy the Wii U version could have been if they didn't also focus on the 3DS version.
If they had Nana and Popo would still be with us...
I kind of wish the 3DS version didn't happen. It's really limited the Wii U version.
Sir Aidan Wankballs I agree, I hope the next smash game (if there's one) its only for home console not portable
***** Agreed. It seems rude that some fans would consider "The 3DS version was just to hype up the fans for the Wii U version" or "The 3DS version was terrible." People, keep in mind that the 3DS and Wii U version (while are the same game) were meant for two different reasons.

Okay sure, not everyone can afford a Wii U. So having a 3DS version is fine. I just wish it didn't take away from all of us who can afford a Wii U and that version.
Would it really matter if the Ice Climbers where in the Wii U version and not the 3DS version?
They got the smash bros announcer to commentate this video... subscribed.

SuperConroy99 Yeah, I hope he doesn't feel too pressured with what he makes next.
Robert Kelly Yeah, same here
Ya know, the explanations for the clones being in and ice climbers being cut make a bit of sense, but not making a story mode with cut-scenes like subspace emissary just because it will be uploaded online is kind of a poor excuse.
Not making an adventure mode at all because of that is an even worse excuse after Melee.
yes, thank you for agreeing with us paleo!!!!
Hey Paleo! Love your MLP videos!

How naive we were.

Edit: Oh. I see it now.
+[4LVAR] Yesss!!
Holy shit. The actually got the announcer, that's crazy!
He was also on the completionist
LOOKING GOOD JOKER
Aaaaand he's in as well!!
I've *never* heard of an instance where watching someone play through a game or some kind of story mode made people want to not play it.
Aliens Colonial Marines as an example.
+kylele23 Yeah but that game was bad anyways.
+Jams Channel It's not that it made people want to not play it, but that it downplays the excitement of seeing the cut-scenes for the first time. Still, I disagree with Sakurai, because some people watching the cutscenes online doesn't justify cutting the feature entirely.
To correct a minor confusion, people weren't uploading gameplay videos - they were uploading the cutscenes entirely. Back when Brawl came out, gaming videos and channels usually popular. The ones that were tended to be scripted like AVGN.
+Jams Channel It was the opposite for me
+Jams Channel why focus the effort into cutscenes when you could focus that effort into the character announcement trailers, thus allowing you to effectively manage the entire PR of it?
Soooo, am I the only one that noticed Sora in the random name generator?
+Jacob Sanchez no you are not
+TheEazyDI well fuck
It's Sakurai's team. Nothing to do at all with the Kingdom Hearts character. Don't you hear he say at every Smash video "I'm Masahiro Sakurai from Sora Limited"
AssassinJacob2 no I noticed too
Yes we did also, its not KH Sora like you think it is though.
Its Sakurais team(Sora Ltd.)
THE HISTORY OF "No Johns"! :)
Yo PK, what's up? XD I just got the New nintendo 3DS XL and boy is it sweet. will you be doing an unboxing video?
pk... i hope all is well with u dude
note to self: don't ever go down on the comment section on a smash bros video.
Hey guys, Sakurai poured his blood, sweat, and tears into making this amazing new Smash Bros. game! Let's talk shit about it and be all salty because a couple characters got cut and Ridley's not in it!
Common sense? In a comment section? NO! I will not allow it!
not all of us are like that. You can state your opinion, and talk about how there are things you may not like about Smash 4, but still like it and play it. Do I hate that All Star mode is already unlocked when you boot up the game? yes, do I hate how Break the Targets has become Angry Birds? yes. But does that stop me from playing? no. I also miss how Classic Mode was in Melee. I loved Race to the Finish and the Metal Mario fight. I still love to play it regardless of how there are things that I wish could be done better.
***** Rildey is a giant boss enemy that has appeared in almost every metroid game. People want he him in because he's one of the only other metroid characters and they want more reps for the metroid series in smash. But people are disagreeing because he's too big, and if you look at the metroid games...he is too big.
***** Representatives for a game series. For example, Mario,Luigi,Peach, and Bowsaer are representatives of the Super Mario series.
gamer39985
Just because Metroid has one (two) reps is not a good enough excuse to put him in.
Why is Wario the only rep for his games? People love Ashley.
Why is Ness the only rep for his game? A few characters you can choose from in this one.
Why is Shulk the only rep for his game? I know nothing about this game, but im sure people love someone else other than Shulk.
Why is MegaMan the only rep for his games? Pretty sure people love Bass or whatever, I don't know a lot about MegaMan.
etc.
as i look at the comments i see this alot...
"So its ok to shrink bowser and make olimar bigger but its not ok to shrink ridley"
1st: Bowser wasn't shrunk AT ALL, he was always that size.
2nd: Olimar's size doesn't matter with him, he's still Olimar, and plus, who knows, the planet may just have everything huge.
3rd: i agree with Sakurai, Ridley wouldn't be Ridley if he was small, i mean would it look normal to you if ridley was going up against Samus and ridley was the size of her?
well, for bowser, not ALWAYS, but he's mostly always.
1. In the most recent games, bowser is HUGE. (New SMB Wii, Mario Galaxy, 3D land, etc)
2. Olimar is supposed to be 1 inch tall. Kirby is supposed to be 8 inches tall. Yet both a rescaled.
3. Sakurai is such a hypocrite. He says "Ridley wouldn't be Ridley." Yet he completely ignores the fact that Ganondorf is NOTHING like he is in Zelda. He's still a C.Falcon clone. So technically, Ganon hasn't been Ganon despite being in 3 Smash games. It's just lazy
a nus ok, i know for a fact the first three can fly, but Sonic and Pac-Man can't - . - Sonic can only fly when in Super Sonic form, and Pac-Man never could fly.
a nus
I'd like to go a step further than you in regards to "staying true to the characters". Making Ridley not fly is apparently unfaithful, but making Ganondorf the way he is isn't? Making Ike, a speedy character with average power into a slow as fuck powerhouse isn't? That's just broken logic. I'd rather Sakurai just say he didn't want Ridley than provide an inconsistent explination.
Pac-Man never flies, not even in his first game, and what win cut scene?
I'm still pissed about there not being a story mode in the new Smash. It was my favorite part of Brawl, and their excuse is that they don't want the cutscenes leaking out onto the internet. How is that any different than literally any other game in existence?
Agree.
actually yeah how come if he didn't like it take down videos with his cutscenes?
Please understand. Sakurai said that he didn't want the cutscenes to feel like they were rewards, that way the game could focus more on the player having fun opposed to them just playing extensively for the chance to watch a short clip.
His reasoning was obviously pretty dumb, but I'm pretty sure the other reason it was excluded was because if they were to include a story mode, the game would probably not have been released by now. They wanted it out as soon as possible.
The simple fact was a lot of the more vocal people did not care about it, or downright disliked Subspace Emissary, even though a lot of people liked it.
That's the reason why there isn't a Story Mode?! Man, I disagree with Sakurai BIG TIME!
To be fair, we always had cut-scenes and playthroughs always being uploaded on the internet. Sometimes, the game's cutscenes actually gets uploaded before the game is even released, causing early spoilers. A good example I can think of is Sonic Forces, people actually had early access to the Nintendo Switch version before the game was even released, and fans can't help uploading playthroughs of it before it's actual release. This same thing actually happened to Sonic Mania. If Super Smash Bros Ultimate included a story mode, than I'd be worried that this 'people can get early access to the lastest Switch game before it officially comes out' thing would happened to Ultimate again, and you know what LPers are like. So, in other words, I actually agree with Sakurai in this case.
Spyder Soup why don't release the game worldwide instead of releasing it at a certain country first
Spyder Soup
Ok, but if Sakurai came up to you and gave you these two options, what would you pick?
1. Gives you a full-fledged story with awesome cutscenes, but he tells you how it ends.
2. No story AT ALL, and therefore no spoilers.
I’m usually pretty good at avoiding spoilers (not all of them) but I’d honestly rather be spoiled than not have an adventure mode at all.
Broshi lol let's be honest. He didn't do one for smash 4 bc its a game on the wii u a non successful console. Why break ur ass on a story mode on the least selled smash. And he had ultimate on his mind, in which looks like there will be one
ratilla jeje
Maybe, but Sakurai is the kind of guy who would remove a whole mode to rid one small annoyance.
There's also a South Park reference. In a loading screen tip talking about Toon Links down air being different than Links it says "If you try to dunk someone with Toon Link you're going to have a bad time"
finally someone correct. everyone thinks its from undertale
Bruh
I have massive respect for Sakurai. It really bugs me when he is criticised. He is so hard working and does everything he can to please the fans as much as possible, yet people still find things to complain about. Please fanbase of Smash Bros. Have some respect for the legend.
Why should I respect someone for doing their job?
***** By that logic I should respect George Lucas for creating the prequels.
Screw respect. Do your job right and I'll buy your game. That should be enough.
"sakurai does everything he can to please the fans"
yeah not really
he straight up made shittier games out of spite towards competitive players because he knows that casuals dont care about gameplay beyond the surface level
SonicChaos15 do you have any human decency. seriously have some humanity.
***** he knows competitive players aren't the most important players. plus he balanced the games so how are they shittier?
4:49 And then he brought back Adventure Mode only to have the cutscenes leaked again. *_Nice work!_*
I voted Okami. Because Okami is the SHIIIIIIIIIIT!
*****
He? HE?!!! The game is Okami, and the name of the character is Amaterasu, goddess of the sun!
+My name is Tom THE WOLF IS FEMALE. so it's a she..... not a he
i think thats what he was aiming at

I'm a she too, so.....
Neko Yuki
excuse me, my fair lady.
Allow me to buy you dinner whenever i'm near your location

Um.... No.
Imagine if the Phantom Thieves tried to change Ridley's heart!
This comment aged perfectly
The fact he says the fighters names with the echo makes this video 10x better
I still think Luigi's smash should have been his Death Stare
I completely agree, and I literally chuckled as I read the comment.
It wouldn't have been possible to implement a final smash from a joke that spawned late in development
that is a very dumb idea.
Jonathen Lee we get the joke, it's just not funny
Yeah well, it's not like it's a meme created by someone else, that was an ingame animation it was even nodded at during a recent Nintendo DIrect showing the clip, I imagine it could work similar to Cap Falcon's Smash, just replace the copyright soundtrack for some hard metal and baby you have a stew going
Ridley isn't "too big" anymore!
Gotta say, I agree with the clones...
-MAKE RIDLEY A CHARIZARD CLONE CHARACTER!-
But seriously, I just think making them their own thing with a few other moves is okay, no reason for an outcry.
***** Do you know what it was like to code the game?
***** Well your first point I can totally see, but even then, there's no harm in adding a couple more characters to a big roster.
***** completely agree. Literally waste of space. They should've an entirely new set of moves. That way they would be "new characters" instead of "clones".
***** 1. Dr. Mario's Pill's deal twice as much damage as the Fireballs, have more hitstun, and are thrown at a slower speed. Also, his down special is COMPLETELY different.
2. Like 3 clones would make a 46-character roster look bigger. They were added as versions of characters that had slightly different attributes, as Lucina is to Marth as Roy was to Marth, Dr. Mario (Smash 4) to Mario as Ganondorf (Melee) to Captain Falcon, and Dark Pit to Pit as Falco to Fox (Or Melee Dr. Mario to Mario.)
XpenANDpaperX There isn't a limit of characters the game can have. They were added at the end of development as a little treat for the fans, just like the Melee clones.
"They shrunk down Bowser and Ganondorf and Donkey along so why couldn't they shrink Ridley?"
Because Ridley is bigger than Bowser Ganondorf combined
Not really. Ridley is about the same size of Bowser and Ganondorf combine.
Ganondorf is at least 10 feet tall. Bowser is usually 8 feet tall. Ridley is 15 - 18 feet tall depending on the game.
+SonicChaos15
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Hyrule Historia says Ganondorf is 230 cm, or about 7 feet 6 inches tall
caloricfoil98 I call bull crap on that since in Twilight Princess Link is the size of Ganodorf's leg.
+SonicChaos15
Well how tall do you think Link is? It's not like 7'6" isn't monstrous already. Have you ever been next to someone taller than 7'?
caloricfoil98 Link is 5'7. And yeah 7'6" is big. But not big enough to literally be twice the height of an average person.
Am I the only one who agrees with Sakurai about Ridley?
I agree too
***** Yay! I'm not alone!
+Davis Jensen I too agree. It just wouldn't feel right. I think his inclusion as a boss character on a specific stage is a good substitute.
I agree too
+Davis Jensen Ridley is on Super Smash... i dont know why all the hate. Anyway Ridley sucks.
Best game ever made! Still play everyday even after 2 years of release
Alejandro _ same here been playing smash since 2002 X) and my favorite is ssb4
3:26 But he did exactly to Ridley what he denied for a long time.
It's almost funny to watch this and read the comments now that Ultimate is on the way
6:23 Bionicle shout out
#Bionicle2015
Exactly what i was thinking! xD
Thought I was the only one who noticed
yes i thought about how old that footage must have been. i haven't seen bionicles around in years.
i'm not sure how i feel about the new ones. It's the original Toa on a new island with masks based on their old ones but seem to have the elements as opposed to speed, strength, etc...
***** Well they are back now!
Sakurai had a medical condition and you do this " FUCK YOU NO CHROM?" "Shrek for smash xDDDDD" .-.
There are people in wheelchairs who bust ass, he has shoulder pain and works sitting in a desk
+Rain Awareness yeah day and night even on weekends and holidays, he pours a lot of love for smash yet people complain that something didn't go their way.
Jack Von Bartesby That's what we call a job buddy
Kristopher Davis Why?
Rain Awareness you are completely dissing Sakurai for all the pain and hard work he spent working on these games for his whining fans yet still gets shitted on
I'm kind of glad to hear about the "no Johns" story. I had heard the phrase before but never knew where it came from, and I think it's kind of cool that the guy it was based on doesn't let it effect him.
“Ridley is too big to be in Smash.” Boy how times have changed! 🤣
The pain of having only 3DS...
...And playing SSB4 on it.
It just seems like I'm the only person on the world that plays it on 3DS.
Hina Face Noooot true, I don't see it as a pain. I have Smash where ever I go. And if someone has the Wii U version, and get down with playing it on their console. Cant use the GC controller for some odd reason? Whip out the 3DS and connect. Seems like a savior to me.
I got no Wii u and I play smash in my 3ds =)
Hina Face I play the 3DS version and I'm proud of it!
*#3DSFTW*
It was the only version I played hours into, but my data corrupted so I sold the game.
***** Sorry to hear
it has been 9 years but i just noticed at 2:48 when talking about alts that became there own fighters doc mario is said but dark pit is just called pit shows how much people care for the alts
This is so surreal to come back after watching this E3 direct.
You know who I wish was put into SSB4 *INSTEAD* of Duck Hunt? Banjo and Kazooie.
A lot of people would but Microsoft
***** Capcom and Sega were no match for them, why would a minor and completely dead franchise with more unique gameplay and nostalgia than Duck Hunt be a problem to license? Most Smash Bros fans weren't ALIVE when Duck Hunt was a game.
I even know all the moves B&K would have, and would have made for a much more compelling dual-character since the removal of Ice Climbers. If Ness was not literally a godlike Japanese pet character of the developers, he wouldn't have made it in in the first place. Duck Hunt is a worse step backwards, and a desperate gag character.
The bear and bird would be a little bit of Yoshi, a little bit of Bowser, they could fly/float like Peach/Charizard/MetaKnight, their egg attacks would vary in cycles like Peach's turnips, his save jump would be the Flap-flip backflip. The combos write themselves, and there is so much that could be drawn from the games for their Final Smash. Mumbo and Bottles and Grunty could have been Assists or Trophies, and THERE IS JUST SO MUCH THEY COULD DO.
JakesFavorites You're forgetting or not realizing Microsoft owns the franchise now. Unlike Sega and Capcom, Microsoft has their own console so unless if Nintendo buys the franchise it's going to be next to impossible to get the rights.
Sure Banjoe and Kazooie would be a much better edition than Duck Hunt Duo but Nintendo can only do want they can do.
***** I mean, other than just the cost of licensing the characters, it would have been a better choice for their target audience. Nintendo is really scraping the bottom of the barrel with their original content, and was when they put R.O.B. and Pit into Brawl.
Sega and Capcom make their own games too. Solid Snake and others had games of their own that were way more popular than the forbidden 360 reboot of Rare. It would be a, if not the, best way to redeem the franchise and the characters that are just as beloved as Donkey and Diddy Kong.
If Ness, Pac Man, Mega Man, and the others are worth keeping, they should have put in Banjo.
JakesFavorites People have wanted Banjo and Kazooie in smash since the first game. The difference is between those characters and ones already in Smash is that either Nintendo owns the character or they are owned by a company that Nintendo are friendly with like Sega or Capcom. Microsoft has the Xbox so they are rival companies.
Nintendo wouldn't license a Microsoft game either if they could do it for free. Like the Donkey Kong Country series Nintendo would have to buy the Banjo and Kazooie series and keep in mind that both Nintendo and Microsoft would have to agree to this.
To conclude everyone would love to have on Smash but getting them on Smash would be extremely difficult. If Microsoft was a 3rd party company then it would be different.
The amount of thought the developers put into this game is really mind-blowing. It's thinking like that that's kept Nintendo at the head of the video game industry for so long. They put attention into every detail.
Even though I feel hella alone on this, I'm pretty bummed that Isaac didn't get put into Smash 4. It was a chance to get recognition for a game series that honestly deserves it, and on top of that, Isaac would fit in PERFECTLY. Imagine his final smash as Megiddo or Judgment. Hot damn. But I digress, oh well.
Isaac from The Binding Of Issac?
nAmE7056 No. Isaac from Golden Sun.
Yeah that would of been cool
+Brocktimus Prime would have been better than that stupid dark pit or that equally pointless dr.mario, stupid wastes kf space...
+The Shades Somebody is either making a joke, being stupid, or simply didn't watch the video.
xander seems like a cool guy. XD
Seems like? No, HE IS! :D
fair enough.
***** i saw that. XD
There is a HUGE difference with resizing Ridley and resizing Bowser/Ganondorf
You can change the Size of Bowser/Ganondorf as much as you like and they'll still feel the same.
Resizing Ridley would change Ridley a lot.
That is true. And olimar is bigger in smash but he still is olimar. Tiny Ridley just feels wrong.
Ha, "huge" difference.
Pokemaster482
Didn't even mean it, to be a Pin.
Says that to Super Smash Bros Ultimate!, Now Ridley is in it!
Well they added it. You happy now
Ah. I'm glad that the infamous John didn't lose his mind after all that.
Sakurai needs/needed to realize that in game cutscenes are no longer a gameplay reward for players in the industry anymore. Because of the internet, and video game's cutscenes are going to be placed online, and this is something I'm very surprised he did not anticipate when making Brawl. Incorporating the CGI cutscenes into the trailers for the game was pretty nice, but I'm still upset they he decided not to make a storyline anyway. In fact, making a full movie would have been even better.
I love Smash 4.
And this is coming from a competitive Melee player.
Now for the ultimate test. How do you like Brawl?
Since the announcer is doing this, i guess you could say this was a "smashing" video... I'll close the door behind me
1:50 It's a dumb reason. Just make a default Mii skin. Make it where only YOU can see your skin and everyone else gets a default avatar for their mii.
3:31 Good on you Sakurai. That was exactly my thinking. Ridley wouldn't be Ridley if you shrunk him down.
5:33 Haha.
You guys should link his channel in the description too and not just his twitter. He DOES have a youtube channel after all.
I'm glad they're not playable online. Kids would just be using their Mii's online and nothing else.
Wouldn't have been any better than just using little Mac all the time, though
gamer39985 You're right. We ALL know what happened with Mario Kart Wii, and Smash Bros doesn't deserve that either.
B00merang Mario kart is different. It doesn't matter if you use your Mii on there.IMO. But smash bros, that's different.
gamer39985 No, what happened is literally EVERYONE used their miis. So everytime they would pass you, you would hear the call of a retarted birdo.
Melee was my childhood and Roy will always be one of my favorite characters included in the games.
Who cares if people post those cutscenes online? Lots of videogames cutscenes are put online.
+asian rebel :P
The fact that he was committed at all is amazing, especially considering that he did not want a sequel for brawl in the first place. Imagine how EA would have handled this. It would have been closer to "Cut half the content from the previous entry and include 27 overpriced DLC packs". And Sakura did it with a (practically) BROKEN ARM!
+asian rebel somehow i think there more work that goes into the actually game than the cutscenes. Its not like Smash Brothers is story heavy game to begin with. Imagine if miyamoto said cut all the story to Breath of the Wild. Because someone online might see it. Hell im still in the middle of the game and have unlock half of the memories. I could just go on youtube and watched them all. But that kinda misses the point of playing the game. Most of the people who watch these cutscenes have already played the game. And anyone who hasn't probably has no intention of playing the game in the first place.
I see Ridley here on these comments.
I can't see how a delicate Ridley trophy (characters seen in Melee and Brawl are trophies) would be owned, as the guys fights with all the character with that. That figure would break. Flat wings, etc.
2:27 Phoenix Wright confirmed for next Super Smash Brothers!
hes already used in marvel 3 :P
Ethan Sarin I think you missed the joke.
well in marvel 3 he is drasicly different from everyone and for him to be in smash it would take an ungodly amount of time to code. And besides we have megaman
Ethan Sarin Again, that wasn't really part of the joke.
I think 2:30 might have made your joke easier to understand
1:23 Sounds regular until you play the game where he sounds dissapointed when he says it.
Ridley is too big.
Bowser* isnt.
yeah ok
Can Bowser fly?
The thing is that re sizing works for certain characters, and doesn't for others. This isn't rocket science dude. Just stop hoping for ridley to come in, it's not going to happen.
Bowser's size has varied in a ton of games. It doesn't feel unnatural to have him the size he is in Smash. Ridley, however, has always been giant and it would feel weird if he was shrunk down to fit the fighters.
"Ridley has always been giant"
Original Metroid sir
Bowser isn't as threatening as Ridley so it makes more sense for him to be shrunk down
Modders actually made a scaled-down ridley a playable character in brawl and it worked just fine.
It worked, but it didn't look right at all.
I'm not talking about the vanilla brawl one. I'm talking about the Project M one using the Other M Ridley model.
mattwo7*Watches intently* I got to be honest it isn't half bad.
Regular Random Person *Finnish watching it* This could work. Tail needs to be a little shorter, but with a bit more work it could work.
Ironically, seeing all of the Brawl cutscenes so much is what made me want to get the game.
5:51 sora is a name that shows up
Thanks Sakurai for all your years of hard work. You've made a masterpiece and we thank you for it!
I hope they will bring snake back with a dlc. loved to play him in SSBB
Konami.
***** But they won't let him in.
There's no more DLC for the game :(
fagurai added bayonetta,add snake and sackboy fagurai
Nope But He Can Be In Super Smash Bros For Switch maybe because konami is making pachinckos #fuckkonami
after reading the comments i legitimately fear hardcore smash fans
Vic San I fear the Melee fans more....
Think that's bad? Try being a diehard Brawl fan.
Heh. This comment aged super well
In the words of Sheik:
Perfection is like a flower. It works its way up until it is at true perfection.
So when are you gonna get the narrator for Brawl? AKA the narrator from Bill Nye.
The combination of your name and picture earn you a like.
When he returns from the dead
eirik watz Oh...
eirik watz Pat Cashman isn't dead
he still has a show that's on every weekend around here
Oh my god, in some words I can definitely hear Joker.
I know I'm supposed to be appreciating the fact that he's the actual announcer from Smash 4 and Ultimate, but I can't help but appreciate him as Joker more.
Whys is there no "Ms. PacMan" Alternate skin? I mean seriously why was this NEVER a thought??
Because it isn't a Namco game?
Question is, why isn't there a skin where he's wearing a hat?
I'm guessing it must've been a copyright thing and that they could'nt have too many characters or symbols from their games.
OMG I AM SO TRIGGERED
I'm sure you know, but Blazikan, Namco worked on the game, so it couldn't be a copyright issue.
It's because Ms. Pac-Man doesn't have a favorable history with Namco. She was originally created and published without the consent of Namco.
6:20 "Bonkles? In my Smashboards?"
It's more likely than you think!
Wow, lookin' cool, Joker!
Woah! Sounding cool, Joker!
3:28 4 years later... Ridley is playable.
Aw man! To get to hear the Announcer himself do one of these for Smash is a dream come true!! I knew it would happen one day, but it surprised me to see it as a reality!
Sooo.....the duck is basically the OLDEST character of all of Nintendo history then....
I can't be the only one who has played all of the smash games (except for the first one) and has never had a complaint on any smash game ever. I'm not even a casual. I play For Glory online all the time. Is it possible I'm just happy with what I have?
Crowd Control Congratulations! You're the only grateful Smash Bros. competitive player out there! But seriously, you're the first grateful competitive player I've seen
***** Yeah, I just never really cared what was in the game, as long as it was new and it was Smash Bros.
FG isn't competitive but.... Glad to see someone who respects the games that aren't melee
Campbell Love Oh yeah, I understand that, but most casual Smash players would probably rather play with friends and things, or play on "For Fun" rather than play For Glory. I was just trying to say that I'm not a total casual when it comes to Smash, so people wouldn't completely disregard what I had to say.
Ok thanks for clearing that up
And now, we got a Ridley. Thanks fans.
2:46 "Dr. Mario and Pit"? You mean "Dr. Mario and DARK Pit?"
Now he sounds more like Joker doing an announcer impression.
He is joker
3:04 I never understood this mindset. How exactly can fans possibly know that a certain character "stole" a slot from another potential character who may not have even been considered anyway?
People want something to blame for their displeasure so they can feel their anger is righteous or correct and not just subjective annoyance.
MagnificantSasquatch Agreed. Unless the developer actually comes out and says that "character x won this slot over character y", I fail to see why this is a convincing argument.
Welcome to the fight, Ridley
5:36 I think the message was changed. When I collected all the outfits, mine said "Dress for success," not "Your body is ready."
Ridley would eventually be playable in Smash Ultimate
BIONICLE ADS. YES.
I know, I'm weird.
If you didn't know already, they've come back.
Yeeaaaahhh, Bonkle!
annnnd they've cancelled Bonkle gen 2
rip
My tears will not stop flowing.
***** ik it was said a month ago, no need to be a smartass about it lol
God damn 3ds. Stealing away our beloved ice climbers
+Crowndanium you've just contradicted yourself
also Vinnie cares.
(Vinnie516.)
ICs suck. They've had an infinite in both of the games that have featured them so far, and im getting sick of being wobbled in melee. Down with ICs.
:c
The wierd thing is with DLC they brought more characters in, They even added Ryu, Bayo, Corrin, etc. WHY NOT ADD THEM BACK IN
HexagonalBox ...because the 3DS isn't powerful enough to have them in the game still. Duh.
It's fucking surreal having played hundreds of hours of Persona 5 and hearing Joker say tiny little clips and then rewatching this then realizing this is basically him normally talking
Not gonna lie, I started scrolling through the comments until I finally found someone else who thought that
3:25 THANK YOU, NOW HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL STOP ASKING ABOUT RIDLEY
Whoa Lucas came out of nowhere since he got confirmed during the new Nintendo Direct but he'll be available on June. So that means Wolf and Ice Climber Popo and Nana separated will return as DLC too. There's still hope in Smash future and anything can change! =D Still sad and still disappointed that Takamaru and Chrom aren't playable in the game but for Ridley not being playable, well it doesn't bother me because he would be more difficult to control him so seeing him as a boss in Brawl Subspace Emissary, Wii U Pyrosphere and in the Metroid series is fine to me. ^_^ Now that's a wonderful surprise! Having the actual SSB4 English and Japanese Announcer on a Did you know gaming Super Smash Bros episode. =D
Boy do I have news for you. You can play as Wolf, Ice Climbers, and hell… Even Ridley, in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Hell… As the game slogan said when it first came out, everyone’s here. Even Banjo and Kazooie of all characters. Granted, they are DLC, but I’m still counting them God damn it. And hey, we even got Sora.
You know, as cool as Sakurai is to literally jeopardize his health to give us Smash, I think it's time for a new director to give it a shot.
As far as I'm concerned, he seems to hate making sequel upon sequel. Not to mention that Sakurai is very stubborn and sometimes unwilling to change things.
The only problem would be finding someone who can replace such a legendary director. I would hate it if it was Miyamoto or Aonuma.
I can already smell the flames...Go, Chandelure!
yea....
Aonuma? Where have I heard that name before...
ocass66 Aonuma does Zelda.
"he seems to hate making sequel upon sequel"
As is anyone with artistic integrity. I commend him for keeping his.
