What qualifies as something that looks like it's from Nintendo for you out of curiosity, because Nintendo has series with more outlandish designs and landscapes.

You're doing an awful lot of groaning, lately.

Eyeh, I sure am.

What do you consider "Looks like Nintendo"?
Does Metroid Prime look like a Nintendo game? How about F-Zero GX? Captain Rainbow?
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Koopaul - 09-02-2014
Not too Western, not too Japanese. Nintendo never goes too far one way or the other.
By Western I mean like Gears of War with lovely gray and brown environments. Hulking space marines and such. Testosterone pumped mess.
By Japanese I mean like JRPGs starring metrosexual protagonists with huge ass swords running through large fields while acting melodramatic.
You know the stereotypical stuff. Xenoblade looks like a stereotypical JRPG. It's style, protagonist, characters, environment. Looks like something I've seen a thousand times. Each Nintendo series has a distinct flavor. Well maybe not Fire Emblem... but I'm not too fond of that series anyway.
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Kriven - 09-02-2014
"Fire Emblem doesn't have a unique flavor"
You really haven't given Fire Emblem a fair chance if this is your takeaway. I'll give it that it's heavier traditional fantasy than The Legend of Zelda, but I couldn't see it coming from any other publisher.
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Koopaul - 09-02-2014
Hm, you're right. I have only played the first one to come out in the West on the GBA and Shadow Dragon on the DS. I was rather bored with them but I can't judge an entire series based on two games.
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Kriven - 09-02-2014
Ew, Shadow Dragon.
That's the absolute worst Fire Emblem game to be localized. I couldn't stand it either.
Try the Radiance games if you can get your hands on either of them.
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Zero Kirby - 09-02-2014
Eh, sure Xenoblade looks more SquareEnix-y than typical Nintendo fare
But that just means Nintendo started experimenting and stretching their boundaries
And if there's anything they need to do more of it's THAT
They might be one-in-a-million but that just means they're eventually making games that are stale in their own style (New Super Mario Bros. 2, Metroid: Other M, Paper Mario Sticker Star...)
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Jermungandr - 09-02-2014
I honestly don't think Fire Emblem even goes too far over the JRPG line. I mean it has its share of metrosexual characters and anime hair, but the actual overall design of the characters, in particular how they're dressed and armored, seem more like medieval fantasy focused. They're more like something we would see on the cover of a western tabletop RPG handbook than the over-the-top attired worn by traditional Final Fantasy style JRPGs.
Of course, I personally think that makes Shulk an ideal character for the roster rather than someone who doesn't belong. We don't really have any other characters of this traditional JRPG aesthetic on the roster yet, so he gets to represent not only his series but an entire genre of games that have been ignored up to now. I am all for covering as many different types of games as possible.
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Ton - 09-02-2014
I've played FE and it felt like pretty standard fantasy fare, honestly. The gameplay was a lot of fun, though......
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - Kriven - 09-03-2014
Today's update seems to fit nicely with the leak's claims that Olimar has four colors while his other four are actually Alph, and the Bowser Jr. + Koopalings since together they come out to be eight.
Any guesses as to Yoshi's seventh and eighth colors? Fingers crossed for Black and White Yoshi...

BUT WHAT IF BOSHI
RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - You can't sail in a boat with a CONFIRMED LEAK - GaryCXJk - 09-03-2014
Boshi is a noshi. I doubt they'd really reference something from Super Mario RPG directly.

Boshi? Is that like Joshy from Supra Mayro Kratt?
