Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Discussion

But, yes, you're right. Nintendo does not need to build relationships with third parties. That totally has gone over so well for them in the past.

Don't be pineappleing stupid. I didn't say no need to build relations with third parties. I said this specific third party. Literally any other third party would be a better choice if that was the reason for including things in smash. Hell, even any other platinum character would be a better choice, because they don't even own the bayonetta i.p. , Sega does. And of COURSE nintendo is letting them use nintendo i.p. to try and boost sales, they already paid for everything in B2s development. It's not the same way round because last I checked, it wasn't an exclusive to platinums console (because it doesn't exist and they're software makers...)

pineapple, if putting nitendo references in a game that's nintendo exclusive is all it takes to get into smash, I can't wait to play as Chase mcain,

So 3DSes with circle pad pros will be able to use the second stick as a C-stick.

Yeah. Apparently it turns out this isn't true after all (if I'm not completely failing to understand the below japanese). Smash 3ds doesn't support the circle pad pro. What the hell nintendo?

(Last line is something about Super smash bros not being supported).
