This is a good read. But I have to say, I do not like Sakurai's reasoning. Entire games get uploaded to the Internet. Should we stop making games? Movies? Music? Fun? Heck no. :/
Why u link to gameinformer and not original article? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Seriously though, that sucks. Cutscenes were the best part of the SSE. Not to say the gameplay was bad, that was awesome too, but not having the mode at all because some people manage to spoil it for themselves? We heard in the past that there was to still be a campaign, not like the SSE however, whatever that means. Has Sakurai changed his mind entirely? God forbid we return to Melee's "Adventure" Mode style. Fair enough to say that not having a story mode allows for a greater focus on the multiplayer. Even if weaker than the SSE in terms of lacking the CG, it still would be nice to have, right?
If Snake returns, who wants a Snake Eater 3D map for the 3DS?
I do.
But isn't the retail release of New Super Luigi U going to be on August 25th?
Uh, yeah. Those were two separate statements. I was cracking a crappy joke of how they could celebrate the Year of Luigi on the last day of the year, and then suggesting New Super Luigi U as a different timeframe.
Regardless, I don't expect there to be a pattern in Sakurai's reveals. We've already passed the date of the retail NSLU game being released in Japan anyway, which Sakurai certainly favours judging by the fact he showed Olimar the day of the release of Pikmin 3 there.
