Spoilers Ruined New Smash Bros Story Mode

It would be better to see the cutscenes outside of the game than to not see any cutscenes at all

I played the subspace emissary 10 times! And I played it until the end 9 times! Every time, I loved the cutscenes. Maybe I was a little more 'wowed' in the words of Sakurai, the first time, compared to the last time, but I still love it, and if everyone was sore about people uploading their creations onto youtube, there would be no more creating, everyone would just be sore about it. Sakurai is unbelieveable, I am disgusted and disappointed.

Yeah...once again Nintendo is crippling itself by removing or horribly mutilating industry standards simply because it goes against the companies archaic morals. You know, this means we won't be seeing cutscenes in any Nintendo developed games from here on out. The only thing they're "ruining" is the biggest reason to own a Ninty system; first party games.

One of my big nitpicks about brawl, to be honest, is that it was really watered down, in favor of a story and character rational. I feel like Sakurai has finally realised that you can't turn Brawl into a motion picture of a game without crippling what made it great to begin with, which is the mayhem and crossover delectability. Now, this is despite what acclaim he has for wanting a good story driven game. Of course he's going to be disappointed that this idea wouldn't work out, but he should have seen this coming to begin with. Now, at the least, he can start working towards making the game work in its favor again. These promotions are what we want to see. These promotions encourage us to play the game, instead of discouraging us, like he would expect the video leaks, and they provide us incentive by giving us eye candy until the game's release. I think Brawl was one of those little experiments we all do every now and again, to see if something will work out or not. Sure, it was a mistake. A fun mistake to some, and a stupid mistake to others. What matters now is that Sakurai tweeks the game to have that good old action paced fun that we enjoyed in the past. That good old melee speed, with all of the chaos! But...if there is anything to gain from Brawl, it's that we fans absolutely love third party crossovers, and we sure as hell love to see our favorite characters retain their voices and style through gameplay.

You work for a big company, amd are working on a movie for 1 year. Then sudenly, the ending is posted on Youtube before the release, and thousands of people see it. It wouldn't feel good. Is it really worth it to show the movie in theaters after people already know the ending?

You do realize people will upload the story right? So you're afraid of cut scenes being spoiled but not the story mode itself? Wtf Nintendo?

I just want Nintendo to stop mass merchandising suckass games based on franchises past their prime and stop trying to re-make the wheel.

It's hilarious, reading all these commenters whining about how Nintendo is being immature. Maybe if you didn't say **** like XDDDD I WANNA RAPE SAMUS AND ZELDA!!!!!!!!!1111111, people would actually give a **** what you think.

What's with Nintendo and their attitude that they always know better than the consumer and the consumer should be lucky they even get to play their games? They do realize they're throwing this condescending attitude at the people who keep the lights on, right? P.S. for megagames: forcing people to watch ads to see a captcha? Wow.

i want a storyline where i molest samus too

how about a story mode where i rape princess peach and show super mario up his italian lard ***. that's a spicey meat-a-ball!

You can't ruin what was already a ****** single player mode. Melee was worlds better for Adventure Mode.

Seriously, I don't really understand his reasoning for this. I got Brawl kinda late, and I didn't go looking up the cut scenes. It only spoils it for those who consciously look it up. You can't just accidentally type a cut scene in the search engine and then watch it all the way through. I mean, if every developer and writer had this mindset, then why make anything ever? It'll always get uploaded to the Internet because, well, INTERNET. And those cut scenes were glorious in every sense of the word. Ah, I guess I'll have a new reason to angrily shout "SAKURAAAAAAIIII!!!" when playing Smash Bros. But then I see Mega Man and I'm like "All is right with the world." Really, this bums and irks me, but it'll still be an enjoyable game. It'll just always feel like something's missing, and you'll always wonder "What could have been?"

He;s taking away the cutscenes... Not story mode.

"Unfortunately, people summarize all books' stories on Wikipedia, so I decided to publish the book with blank pages."

Brawl was my first SSB game, and my younger sister. When starting the game, I played story mode first in order to: 1. Learn the controls and get better so I didn't always die when playing with friends 2. Play co-op with my lil sis 3. Play a variety of chars so I could learn how to play more than just 2 chars. Story mode made me try all the chars, and I ended up playing some of them later, when I played with friends. I treated story mode as a cool tutorial that covered all the characters, meshed with a decent story. I am against the removal of story mode, but don't care too much about cutscenes. They were kinda cool, but ultimately just were character selection screens. Keep story mode. Don't whine about people putting the stuff on the internet. Story mode was the awesomest tutorial ever. I would have only played a few characters because I needed some practice with each one before playing against people, and just against people I would only have improved with a few characters.

Well, they are not going to implement story mode? Oh THATS A SHAME! HOW THE **** COULD I EVER PLAY THE ORIGINAL ONE WITHOUT HIGH DEFINITION CUT SCENES? Wait.! Ga-Gameplay? WHAT THE **** IS GAMEPLAY? I WANT TO SEE MARIO KICKING KIRBYS *** IN A VIDEO! Oh, i can do this myself in the game? THATS NOT THE SAME! Just to lighten thing up, yes, they wont make "story" mode, but that doesnt matter that they are not going to throw in the classic arcade or something similiar to the SSB Melee "story" mode. Serious people. This game was never about any big story. You just get three friends/siblings/whatever and smash the f*** out of each other. If you are that kind of obsessed with cut-scenes, then this game aint something for you probably.

If you're going to take out cut scenes and developed story just because someone uploaded the scenes from brawl onto the internet, then guess what, you might as well just stop production entirely because there will be just as many people uploading their actual gameplay videos right where scenes used to be online

If you look at the reviews for the original smash brothers and melee it isn't about storymode its about getting some friend round playing your fav nintendo character and smashing **** out of each other. Me and my brother hated subspace it was boring as **** and when we got to the maze we were just glad we were nearly done. If i want a storyline there are hundreds of games with one i play smash bros to smash my bros not so i can see why link will help mario beat up jigglypuff

This ruins it for all of us, we all know the Smash Bros games had story lines akin to Half Life and Bioshock and are single player story is all that we care about not, I dunno, maybe the local multiplayer fun that Smash Bros is not at all known for mastering to the point of perfection

Playing devil's advocate a bit, I can kind of understand his frustration there since I do feel like internet culture has become its own worst enemy at times when it comes to experiencing things like this. That said though, it is still a decision of individuals and to this reaction to me sort of implies a frustration of not really having complete control over how everyone plays or enjoys this game. And saying that, I can't help but be reminded of the tripping fiasco back in Brawl...which still kind of left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, not because I play this game competitively because I never really have...but more because of what it and many other smaller gameplay changes represented in the bigger picture: something of a mandate to force people to "play the game right". I know many people scoff at the notion that some people liked to play this with no items, play it on a "serious" level or what not...but many other people DID like to play Melee like that and fact of the matter is the game gave people options to play either way, trailored to their own personal preference. You can turn items on and off, limit stages, it's all options for the player to use at THEIR discretion I may not play competitively or anything, but I don't think one has to in order to give a wary eye to a developer that actually takes active steps to undermine an entire way to play their game...a way that the game itself actually makes a possibility. If he didn't want people to play his game competitively, he shouldn't have given options to turn items on or off or any of that then. I understand that it's his game (well the game of everyone working on it really), and a developer should make stands with their vision, but there has to be a balance between that and letting the audience take it as they see fit. Sakurai to me crossed that line years ago by adding that one, stupid little forced feature (which wasn't the ONLY thing undermining that gameplay either but I'm getting off topic)... ...and although the loss of a cinematic story mode isn't a big deal at all (although I did dig it myself), it does make me a little more wary of some of the greater...gameplay related decisions that could be made from here and I hope it's not a taste of more of the above incoming.

I don't agree with Sakurai's comments, but I'm glad the SSE-style Adventure Mode is going away. I'd rather have a Melee-like Adventure Mode.

I always thought the Subspace Emissary was a tremendeous waste of recources. All that work could have gone to the actual game in the form of like ~5 additional characters and ~10 additional stages (probably even more). The SE gameplay was dull, much to easy and not very pleasing presentation wise. I haven't faulted the developers because it is their game and they can do whatever they want, but I am quite happy for that change. Also... cutscenes? I remember cutscenes being impressive in the first Command & Conquer or maybe even in Final Fantasy VII to a degree, but nowadays games look almost as good as cutscenes themselve and we have an oversaturation on 3D movies in cinemas.

The very concept of what makes or breaks a game experience for a gamer is ENTIRELY UP TO THE GAMER THEMSELVES! I don't know why these pretentious developers suddenly got it in their head that they need to micromanage their audiences approval level for their game,and I don't care. The very fact that a change is being made in the name of what WE want most is ******* ridiculous! Sakurai's paranoia has critically injured his own game, and you know what? I hope he's happy, because if he's not, **** knows what he'll do next.

thats literally the best part of brawl, and now he's throwing a tantrum. but why are we surprised? he threw a tantrum in brawl too, when he added tripping, just because serious players liked to play on final destination with no items. he hated that and screwed us, and NOW hes ******** us again! i got super excited for this game, going so far as to set aside money to buy a wii u, and now this? why are all these video game executives freaking out and ruining everything lately? the xbox one catastrophe, that fish guy, and now this?

..That this is Smash Brothers we're talking about? You know, that one nintendo game that is THE multiplayer experience. on nintendo consoles, you know a fighting game, you guys know how fighting games are mostly gameplay driven and not story based like Zelda? I mean, seriously, how many of you guys played Brawl and thought SSE was the most important thing in that game and played it the most? not many, because most of the people who played that game might have played SSE once or twice but mainly did classic mode or brawl or event mode, all of which don't have cutscenes, heck, Melee, the game all the tournament guys say is better than Brawl has an adventure mode, and that didn't have huge blockbuster cutscenes. There wasn't even a story because it didn't need a story! That's not why we play smash brothers! Maybe we can expect adventure mode in smash 4 to be like melee's, just bigger and incorporating that sticker thing in SSE So let's take in consideration this is a fighting game that most people play for Free-For-All mode and will be mostly used for that feature there is going to be an adventure mode in the next games, but with less focus on story, people are suddenly spouting out how nintendo has betrayed them, calling Sakurai lazy, and talking about irrelelevant things like diferences between regional gaming culture. You guys are acting as if they're taking out the storyline in the next Fire Emblem game! That would be something to be ****** off about, not removing cutscenes from some mode you'll only play a few times, heck, it might even improve the flow of the adventure mode.

I think I'll just continue not supporting nintendo and playing my gamecube version of smash bros. Brawl was awful and this one doesnt look like its going to be any better so far.

if you can't spell then how are you the smartest one? i"m not saying i"m the smartest one though.

I think they should still have a story because you don't have to look up this stuff you have a choice and it ruins the game for other people who were waiting for smash bros
