Xbox's Super Smash Bros. Clone

[Demon_Skeith]

Well Nintendo has the very popular Super Smash bros game series and now this year Sony has jumped in on it. So will Microsoft follow suit?

Do you want it to happen? If so how should it be done?

I wouldn't have thought Microsoft would really be that bothered about making a game like this, i was surprised Sony jumped on the bandwaggon to be honest.

This thread really got me happy. I thought before clicking on this thread that there was going to be one. I can't see microsoft putting a game like this on the xbox. Since the best selling games are the mature ones. You can never count a developer out though. I just don't really see it happening.

I think Microsoft are too big of a company to be doing a game like that. They should focus on making that Halo movie instead.

It would basically be "Super Halo Bros.", I reckon.

I mean, the reason PS All-Stars is recieving a very cold reception is due to the fact that their characters are nowhere near as iconic or have the Star Potential as Nintendo's properties. I mean, sure, you've got Kratos and Nathan Drake, and Sweet Tooth, Sly and a couple of others...but they are nowhere near as recognizable as Mario, Link, and Samus. Not to mention the most recognizable platformer characters that could generate some buzz, like Spyro or Crash, do not belong to Sony.

Sony's main problem: it doesn't have a pantheon of characters as rich and diverse as Nintendo's. I mean, Nintendo was in the business two gens earlier. It's just too soon for Sony to try something like this. The fact that it's pretty much identical to SSB, too, has made it recieve a lot of flak.

If I were Microsoft, I'd stay away from that. Sony has had three gens and MS has only had two. Not to mention MS's only really recognisable character is Master Chief.
