I can't think of an indie game that should get anything before Cave Story does.

Maybe, Shovel Knight, but yes, I agree, Cave Story should be the first indie represented in Smash. In whatever way they can.

 

[TechPowah]

Well, Bit.Trip, since Nintendo already agrees with it, what with that Commander Video trophy. =P

 

[ThunderSageNun]

to be fair, all the bit trip games were released on WiiWare and Runner 2 got a WiiU release (I think?), so they have somewhat of a history with Nintendo (albeit not a very long one)

 

[Hong]

I don't know. Cave Story just feels like a game that you missed as a kid, even though it's nary a decade old.

Bit.Trip series is respectable, but eh. I'd about forgotten about it. Certainly not to say this is any competition of who deserves what. I think Shovel Knight, and dare I say Shantae, are fair game as well.

 

[ThunderSageNun]

hopefully we can get them all

 

[Shaymikyu]

Oh yes, another game on my "games I seriously need to get to already" list.

Is Cave Story on the eShop for the 3DS at all?

Yep, sure is, download ASAP.

 

[Shaymikyu]

Yep, sure is, download ASAP.

Okay, I'll get it as soon as I have more money in the eShop (most likely around Christmas). I might put KI:U and Tomadachi Life on the back-burner and get them later.

 

[Hong]

Is Cave Story on the eShop for the 3DS at all?

Yes. Play it on any platform that it's available. I am pretty sure I own it in like five different platforms, so I know there are multiple ways of getting it... A few which are legitimately free.

If you get a port of the game, I also recommend playing it with classic graphics and audio if you have the option. If the option isn't there, then that version only has the classic setup, which is all you'll need.

 

[Shaymikyu]

Oh, it's actually super cheap. I can get it when I have the money and one of those other two I named and maybe have enough left over for some more DLC for Awakening.

I have just under that amount right now, though. Barely enough to get a single Awakening DLC (waiting on that so I can get the ones I still need in the packs).

 

[Hong]

Alternatively, If you want, you can get it for free here. The fan translation and distribution was fully with Daisuke Amaya's consent, so it's not stealing or anything. That said, if you do like it, I still suggest buying it sometime down the road.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'll get this version first, and if I like it (from what I've heard, it's almost guaranteed to be a yes), I'll get the eShop version.

I enjoy the upgrades Nicalis managed to bring to the eShop version of this masterpiece.

 

[Shaymikyu]

It doesn't work on my computer. Do you need a specific program? I have a Mac, so I don't know if that's the issue.

EDIT: Got it! Yay!

 

[Hong]

Did you scroll down a bit? There are Mac ports. See if those work.

 

[Shaymikyu]

I found them. I'm playing it right now. I'm enjoying it so far, which is saying something as someone who normally isn't a huge platformer person.

[Unkown Hero]

It is. I tried to find it a year ago and had not luck what so ever.

P.S, Thanks for the likes, NonSpecificGuy, really nice gesture X3.

Edit:

 

[Shaymikyu]

I got to the Egg Corridor and stopped there for now so I can head to bed. I'm loving it so far though. It's easy to pick up, but still not too easy to play, and I like how it gives you so little information in the beginning in terms of the story and you learn as you go. It just makes you want to play more to see where it's going.

And I'd definitely love to see content for it in SSB one day, even if it's just trophies (though an AT, stage, or even playable character would be awesome!).

 

[Drakonis]

I can't think of an indie game that should get anything before Cave Story does.

If Shovel Knight wasn't still quite young I would've claimed that one. But as it stands I'd probably say Cave Story, too. Or Shantae.
[Wrote this before reading the replies on this page, which pretty much said the same :D]

The story-telling and flow in Xenoblade Chronicles in particular is exceptional.

Yes, that 10-20 hour roadblock with like 5 minutes of story in it towards the end really was a great testament to it's pacing.

Though the game DID have quite a great balance between gameplay sections and the story progressing up to that point.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

So wonderin' why no Shantae-trophy from WayForward on top of Commander Video? I forgot completely about the latter guy, as much as its games looked interesting once.

 

[Tuvillo]

I wanna see Layton and Phoenix Wright somehow represented. They're BASICALLY Nintendo franchises, aside from Marvel vs Capcom.

...And then there's Okami.

 

[Deleted member]

Also SCREW ANCIENT DAEDALA. GOD.

Just out of curiosity, did you fight Avalanche Abaasy?
You're a poor soul if you did...

I am a BIG fan of Okami! I wouldn't mind it if Amaterasu got a trophy in the game... but I don't expect it since Okami is an extremely small franchise. I'm still holding onto the hopes of another sequel on the Wii U...

I hope that Bomberman and Simon Belmont will get trophies in Smash 4. It's not like they will be playable any time soon...

I need to play Cave Story... but I will at another point in time.

Maybe a Professor Layton VS. Ace Attorney Trophy?

Cave Story? Great game. I'm playing it myself.

Yeah. The end-game experience had me rolling my eyes a bit.

For instance, I left a lot of end-game quests aside thinking I could beat the game and come back to them. Didn't expect to be hurled back to the beginning.

 

[Pazzo.]

Majora's Mask avatar hype.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Just out of curiosity, did you fight Avalanche Abaasy?
You're a poor soul if you did...

Not yet, I thinking of doing that same trick with Final Marcus and hide Dunban behind the Crystal while Riki whacks at it with DoT attacks and Sharla heals everyone or raises tension, while using Binding Blossom in case Abaasy focuses on either one of the two.


.....Abaasy can hit Dunban through the Crystal, can it?

Cleared Classic on 7.5 with Robin including Master Core.

Hopefully I can do 9.0 without customs at some point.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

So let me recap:

- Isabelle is an Assist -> Becomes Mario Kart DLC

- Ghirahim and Midna are Assists -> Planned to Hyrule Warriors

- Takamaru is an Assist -> Nazo No Murasame Jo finally released outside of Japan

and now we get Majora's Mask 3D after Skull Kid was shown.

I think Assists are blessed for not being playable characters (and tha's before getting to Mac)

I did 8.9 few times and managed to do it after 7 times, I think. Oddly enough, customs are forced on if you have used them during Master Core-battle.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Clearly Isaac is not an Assist Trophy because Nintendo buried the series into the family plot out back.

The sun sets on this venture.

 

[Kenith]

When you put it like that, makes me think Captain Falcon should have been an AT.
...Actually, having Captain Falcon in Smash is better than a new F-Zero game, so...

*Puts down the quote incase Isaac is actually revealed*

I can see no reason why Nintendo would remove all Golden Sun references/assist trophy when the likes of Captain Rainbow got referenced.

 

[Hong]

Speaking of which, it is upsetting, but not surprising that we did not get a new Fire Emblem Assist Trophy.

Why does Fire Emblem have to be some kind of fetish? Like seriously. The other day I was viewing some dream list of music for Super Smash Bros, and nothing from Fire Emblem was on there. But of course they'll have a bazillion Super Mario and Legend of Zelda tracks... Even some third party stuff.

I know, I know, it's no Final Fantasy when it comes to the audio department, but there is plenty of great music to be heard. "Don't Speak Her Name!", for example, was trending well beyond Awakening itself for a little while out there, so it was certainly resonating with people even unfamiliar with the series.

 

[Pazzo.]

With the Wii U version, I think we'll see more FE stuff. I'm gunning for Don't Speak Her Name too.

>cryptic foreshadowing We can't claim to known their mindset.

I pondered this for a while, and thought: "Hey, Awakening has great AT material."

Lon'qu or could have easily replaced Gray Fox(RIP), Morgan could come in and cast spells, Anna could throw out coin drops, Gerome could attack from Minerva...it's a nice selection.

Knowing all of you however you're going to suggest a character from Judgral or Tellius or something
