This movie, ladies and gents, just became one of the highest-grossing animated movies ever made. Even for Mario, this is monolithic.

Nintendo just released the final trailer

Octoling I can’t really comment on, but Shadow and Zack weren’t Echoes because I wanted to use Eggman and Sephiroth as DLC, just to make their respective roles as the “second character in a 3rd party franchise who isn’t an Echo” feel more special since they’re two of the most iconic villains in gaming.

In your opinion, what's the "ideal" point in time for your most wanted to be introduced? More accurately, which Smash game feels the most appropriate time in which to introduce them? This has to be a Smash game that already released, from 64 to Ultimate. For me: 64 Meowth Melee Scizor Ayumi Tachibana Brawl Totodile Grovyle 3DS / Wii U Rayman Azura Ultimate Bandana Waddle Dee Alph (as an Echo) Crash Bandicoot Estelle Bright Dr. Eggman

Here's an intertesting idea: what if Sparks of Hope was a musou, but still had shades of the Kingdom Battle's XCOM-like gameplay?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie just released in the United States. Without spoiling anything, those of you who have seen the movie, what’s your opinion on it? I’m going to see it on Saturday, so I don’t have my own opinion on it yet.

If anything, they should rely less on pre-existing IP’s, especially live-action remakes thereof. It seems, ironically, their remakes are contributing to the negative opinions on animation as a medium.

Following on from my Melee thread a year back, what if Ultimate had another year, too? Now, I'm not insinuating Ultimate needed another year, like I did with Melee. I moreso wanted to entertain the idea for the sake of a "what-if" scenario. Now, I'm going to lay a few ground rules: "Everyone is Here!" isn't going away. The base game will cap off at Fighters #71-75, the same number of fighters in Fighters Pass Vol. 1. Speaking of, there are still only 2 Fighters Passes, only this time, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 both have 6 DLC fighters each. My interpretation strives to be as realistic as possible, but with some self-indulgence. If you have your own interpretation, I'm all for it, but I only ask that you don't get too unrealistic. Without further ado: Newcomers Modes New stages Bosses DLC

Here's an interesting thought: what if the Pokémon Trainer's other two Pokémon were Totodile and Grovyle?

…And yes, this is indeed a real game. Either way, I guess those people who were hoping for Sonic to kick the bucket got their wish, technically?

Can’t say I’m surprised, but I’m a bit sad nonetheless.

After quite a long while of nothing, we finally have a proper gameplay demonstration video for Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo also released a video about a Switch OLED Special Edition for this game.

This was anoher character concept I've been wanting to do, but I didn't want to do it too soon after Noah & Mio. I'm going to write this more straightforward (i.e. won't be going into as much detail with attributes and the like) because that's the kind of way I think. The character I'm writing about today is Estelle Bright from the Trails series! Estelle's moveset Stage: Arseille Music Classic Mode: The Smash Guild (fights characters loosely referencing other Nihon Falcom games in 150HP Stamina battles) Spirits

Well, I guess it depends.

This is a trend that started on Twitter recently. If I had any artistic skills, I’d totally take a crack at this!

New fighters New stages New modes

WARNING: This topic contains massive story spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Don’t click the any of the spoiler tabs unless you’ve played the game. This has been your warning. I haven't personally played Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but I do know about plenty of key moments due to my research for Smash. As far as gameplay, the idea I had in this case is Noah & Mio sharing a slot, similar to Pyra & Mythra, but they switch with Shield + B instead of Down + B. So what about how they actually play individually, as well as other Xenoblade 3-related content? That's what we're dipping into right now, with most of their moveset based on an article by Source Gaming. Main attributes + alts Noah's moveset Mio's moveset Stage: Erythia Sea Music Classic Mode: A Class of Our Own Spirits

Decided to follow up on this with a moveset largely based on the one Source Gaming did. Main attributes Noah's moveset Mio's moveset

They’re both equally important, and as such, I see them as two things that should compliment each other.

Delzethin just did his take on redesigning Sonic's moveset.

After nearly a year and a half since Ultimate’s final update, UltRank has put out the first official tier list. I know it sounds pretty weird to just now get a tier list, but keep in mind the constantly changing metagame during Ultimate’s life and COVID having screwed over in-person tournaments.

Edited the OP to throw in a Smus overhaul based on Dread.

As usual, list your hopes and expectations here. Hopes SSBU updated rerelease Project X Zone 3 Kid Icarus Metroid Prime 4 Tomato Adventure remake New mainline Mario New DK game Dragalia Lost on Switch Game Boy and GBA on NSO ARMS 2 Trails in the Sky HD Sora amiibo FE4 remake Expectations A big blowout for Tears of the Kingdom Some last bits of info on Return to Dream Land DX More info on Sparks of Hope DLC Another new Mario game regardless Advance Wars More info on Engage DLC Possibly some Gen 9 DLC? More info on the Booster Course Pass

Definitely hoping for Tifa for this one, base roster or DLC.

We already have a thread.
