We do need one, don't we. Yes we do, we crave for a sequel. Melee was the ultimate fighting fest, packed with Ninty history, tons of modes and plenty of multiplayer mayhem. So, would you lot like to see a Smash Bros. 3, and what characters would you put in it.

I would add to the series:

Isaac (Golden Sun)
Wario
Krystal (Star Fox Adventures)
Ridley (Metroid)

I would have said Viewtiful Joe, but now he's on PS2, so damn. And no, I wouldn't want Sonic's sad ass in the game. What do you all think?

All the designs for the Kong family, except Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong, belong to Rare, although the name Kong belongs to Nintendo. Therefore, Nintendo cannot use these character designs without Rare's permission. Likewise Rare can't use the name Kong for any of their characters without Nintendo's permission.

Pah - rubbish.

I would like to see Nintendo develop an online system, because I think they could make it work, but it's not as simple as you guys seem to think. Simply putting Melee online would not have worked. It is an offline game designed for four-player multiplayer, and is brilliant for it.

Not everything will be better with online play. Nintendo make decent offline multiplayer games, and considering I prefer this more social style, I'd like them to stick to it - refining and improving.

I was wrong, Pringle was partially right.

Bravo.

The only step forward that would make a sequel worthwhile would be online play.


Super Smash Brothers was the original, Melée took it to new levels of fast playability (athough I don't like how they weakened the throws so much).
What could a new one do?

Yeah, new characters and levels would be a treat, but a poor excuse for a new game.


Put in an online mode, and although it'll never truly replace 3 gamers next to you, most of us don't have that luxury to be replaced (damn my over maturing brothers and Xbox converting friends - sure it's great to play Halo with them, but they can't even challenge me on Smash Brothers anymore, which is a shame remembering the classic N64 battles we had).

So yeah, online play firstly.

And lots of new moves/characters/mini-games/levels/other things too. :-)

Melee's better than any other fighter I've played (probably), especially if you turn off the items and go all out with feints and throws and dodges and being Kirby and grabbing a guy and smacking them in the face before doing a 10-mile-high-piledriver.

what would make it even better is if they had races, like in Powerstone 2. Where 4 players race to the main stage, whilst trying to kill each other on the way. God I miss powerstone, wish theyd make another!

I never had a Dreamcast so I missed Powerstone.

It always sounded really interesting though.

King K-Rool and Cranky Kong, 2 characters created by RARE appear in Donkey Konga.

All characters related to the Donkey Kong franchise belong to Nintendo. Conker, Banjo etc... also belonged to Nintendo but were sold along with RARE.

Super Smash Brothers: Melee is still selling well to this day, it is phenomonal and is set to be the biggest selling Gamecube game.

If the Gamecube were to get another title we'd need a few new characters, maybe:

Olimar (Pikmin styled fighting, E-Gadd (paintbrush, FLUDD and vaccum cleaner to the rescue), Doshin (powerful but slow, can change into Jashin), Boo (the floaty like), Wario (throwing abilities), Krystal (errr), Guitar weilding dog from Animal Crossing.
