It was unusual, but I appreciated that announcement! It’s nice to know that the game you buy will be the full game, no other costs down the road (except for the amiibos).

Best announcement of the direct

Doubting that bit about a sequel but I believe him about DLC.

I love this! Never been a huge fan of DLC.

I love this, its just complete and feels full enough already.
Meanwhile the internet is hating on Mario Kart World for not having any DLC while simultaneously dumping on Bananza for daring to add a new separate mode via DLC

He didn’t say sequel did he.
Didn’t he just say it won’t get dlc or more content after launch.
Like we’re not gonna see a free map update for example

And we all know why.
Smash 6 is starting development fairly soon after this

Good. More games should be released this way.

Adding a second button broke his spirit

I imagine Nintendo wants him to work on the next Smash right away.

Sounded more like there could be another entry down the line but we shouldn’t expect it to be like a Mario Kart scenario

A firm no-DLC announcement in current year is a beautiful thing to behold.
Even in the indie environment, I’ve taken to waiting a good few years to buy most games I’m interested in because so many of them have shoved in free unavoidable DLC that completely changes the nature of the game. And Paid DLC is rarely worth it.
My copy of Air Riders will be done when I buy it and I will cherish playing it for the next decade onward. Exactly as wonderful as I could ever hope for.

Meanwhile, Super Smash Even Ultimater will be 60% DLC characters😌👌

We don’t know how much longer Sakurai will be in the business, but I learned they should never say that a certain game will never get a sequel. People thought Air Ride would never get one and here we are. Over time, it could happen.

Honestly, knowing there won’t be DLC and that this game is a complete package at launch moved me from a “maybe purchase down the line” to a “day one purchase”. Sakurai puts his all into his games, so I’m convinced it’ll be a good game worthy of its price tag.

Getting a new game from this is already a feat enough, so dlc not being a thing in this game is ok, but sequel?, i doubt we won’t see it, if nintendo wants one, they will certainly get it, specially if they grant him what he wishes for it.

Everyone here’s speculating on Smash and probably right, but man do I want another Kid Icarus
carlosvigilante
Sounds like he’s working on the next Smash game

As the direct kept going I was shocked by how much they were adding to the game. No one else would add all this stuff for free. I was wondering what DLC would come; hearing no DLC or Sequels planned tells us exactly why. He put everything into this game. I am so beyond excited.

“Everything is here” – Sakurai
Is that a Smash 6 reference!?!?

He says he isn’t going to make it an ongoing series
If this seeks as good as forgery land you bet your ass Hal labs would make it without him
Regardless it’s super cool to see how sakurai interprets kirby and friends and enemies today lol

Just let Sakurai make a chill farming game centered around Lon Lon Ranch or Pikmin or that Cow from MarioKart.

I’m honestly not that interested in this game but it is refreshing to see a passion project verses a money grab.

All the more reason they better have included the three mage sisters
