Nintendo's New Groove: An Alternate Nintendo Timeline

[MegaToon1234]

Right now, before we get to 2006, let’s get to Mario Kart DS first.

While it’s mostly the same as it was IOTL, there are some differences to be shown.

The character roster has four additional racers that are never seen IOTL, and they are Koopa Troopa (Light), Birdo (Medium), Prince Cream (Light), and King Toadstool (Heavy).

Unlike IOTL, this version of Mario Kart DS features 40 courses in all: 20 brand new courses and 20 courses from previous games (excluding Mario Kart (ANAVS), because I want to save it for later), including four from Super Mario Kart, four from Mario Kart CD, four from Mario Kart Rendered, four from Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and four from Mario Kart Live. Anyway, here are the new courses.
Mushroom Cup

1. Figure-8 Circuit
2. Yoshi Falls
3. Cheep Cheep Beach
4. Luigi’s Mansion

Flower Cup

1. Mario Circuit (which was originally in Star Cup IOTL)
2. Desert Hills
3. Neigeda Raceway (based off of Neigeda from Super Mario Regions)
4. Waluigi Pinball

Egg Cup

1. Birdo Summit (A mountain-themed racetrack set in Subcon)
2. Delfino Square (which was originally in Flower Cup IOTL)
3. DK Pass (which was originally in Star Cup IOTL)
4. Shroom Ridge (which was originally in Flower Cup IOTL)

Star Cup

1. Tick-Tock Clock
2. Dyabterre Drive (based off of Dyabterre from Super Mario Regions)
3. Airship Fortress
4. Dark Castle (was known as Bowser Castle IOTL; which was originally in Special Cup IOTL)

Special Cup

1. Wario Stadium
2. Peach Gardens
3. Sky Gateway (a sky-themed racetrack set in the clouds which serves as a gateway to Rainbow Road)
4. Rainbow Road

As for the retro tracks, well, if you have seen the racetracks of Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart CD, Mario Kart Rendered, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Mario Kart Live, it’ll be up to you on which retro race tracks would be in TTL’s Mario Kart DS.

But other than that, it’s mostly the same as it was IOTL, even if it has some differences. So yeah, that’s what it is. So far, there have been seven Mario Kart installments ITTL.

1. Mario Kart (ANAVS)
2. Super Mario Kart (SANAVS)
3. Mario Kart CD (Super-CD)
4. Mario Kart Rendered (Ultra-64)
5. Mario Kart: Super Circuit (Super Game Boy)
6. Mario Kart Live (Nintendo Vortex)
7. Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS)

When 2008 comes, the eighth installment of the Mario Kart series (ITTL, at least) will be coming soon.

Until next time, stay tuned for 2006!

 

[MegaToon1234]

Definitely a very interesting year for Nintendo. For starters, the newest Sonic game, Sonic Synergy, launches on the Nintendo Vortex. The game features Blaze the Cat and Marine the Raccoon from the Sonic Rush games on the DS, alongside Sonic and Tails in a new 3D platformer, mixing the level design from the Adventure titles with a new mechanic similar to the Boost from the Rush games. The game is received very well, although many Sonic fans, mostly fans of the original Sega Genesis titles, do not respond well to the introductions.

Along with that, Nintendo releases a very peculiar peripheral for the Nintendo Vortex, the Motion Remote. As a way to test the public’s reaction to motion controls for their upcoming “Revolution” project, the technology is used for this release to see how people view it. When was Motion Remote released? March 3rd, 2006. The peripheral launches with Nintendo Sports and Play Motion (known as Wii Sports and Wii Play IOTL respectively), and more games follow suit such as WarioWare and Super Monkey Ball, and a new Pokemon spin-off based on a cancelled Nintendo Ultra-64 project (which is Hey You, Pikachu!). More non-motion games are released though, such as Yoshi’s Island 2, a Nintendo Vortex sequel to the original Yoshi’s Island on the Super-CD, with a lovely drawing-esque 2.5D art style, a remade port of Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, both of them being ported into one game, a Super Mario RPG game made by Camelot, and the DS receiving a game from Nintendo’s latest acquisition, Office Create’s Cooking Mama, which is a smash hit, leading to DS sales soaring, alongside the newest generation of Pokemon games (which of course, are Pokemon Diamond and Pearl).

Other notable releases are The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, Puyo Puyo: 15th Anniversary!, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Sonic Riders, Yakuza, Perfect Dark Zero, Custom Robo Arena, Elite Beat Agents, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Pokemon Ranger, Puzzle League DS, Rhythm Heaven Gold, BowserQuest Racerz, Star Fox Command, and Magical Starsign. The Animal Crossing anime movie was released outside of Japan in the year 2007.

As a bonus, the Golden Sun game on the Nintendo Vortex has been sold very well, BTW.

 

[MegaToon1234]

Somewhere, during E3 2006, Nintendo revealed the Nintendo Revolution (which is to be released in 2007). It uses the Motion Remote, now called the Revo-Remote, as the primary controller, with a standard Pro controller to be released later on. The focus is on motion-controlled games, with a sequel to Nintendo Sports confirmed for launch, alongside more entertainment features outside of gaming, working with Netflix to launch their new streaming service on the system before any other platform, alongside the DVD functionality returning from the Nintendo Vortex, along with Giga-Ray disc (known as Blu-Ray disc IOTL) functionality.
For games, two new services are announced, Virtual Console and RevoWare. RevoWare will be download-exclusive titles that will be smaller similar to PlayStation Network games, launching with a new Puzzle League, alongside third-party titles such as Pac-Man Championship Edition, a new Colorblends game, and ports of Doom and Doom II.

Virtual Console is a legacy service that will encompass classic Nintendo games of the past, including Sega consoles, launching with Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Donkey Kong Country, and many more. Big reveals for the Nintendo Revolution include a new 3D Mario, a Sonic Riders sequel, Cooking Mama, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and a sequel to Chibi-Robo.
And now, let's get to some extra details!
As for what has occurred, I may have some extra details for 2006. Other notable Nintendo Vortex releases include The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, Puyo Puyo: 15th Anniversary!, BowserQuest Racerz, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Sonic Riders, Yakuza, and Perfect Dark Zero. Other notable Nintendo DS include Custom Robo Arena, Elite Beat Agents, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Pokemon Ranger, Puzzle League DS, Rhythm Heaven Gold, Star Fox Command, and Magical Starsign. Now, as for Sonic Synergy, Yoshi's Island 2, the Golden Sun game on the Nintendo Vortex, and the Super Mario RPG game made by Camelot? There'll be more info about that.

 

[MegaToon1234]

As you can see, Sonic Synergy is Sega’s own Sonic game released for the Nintendo Vortex released in Summer 2006 (or the fourth quarter of 2006). The game features Blaze the Cat and Marine the Raccoon from the Sonic Rush games on the DS, alongside Sonic and Tails in a new 3D platformer, mixing the level design from the Adventure titles with a new mechanic similar to the Boost from the Rush games. The game is received very well, although many Sonic fans, mostly fans of the original Sega Genesis titles, do not respond well to the introductions.

The voice cast in this game includes Ryan Drummond as Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Palant as Tails, Bella Hudson as Blaze the Cat, Lani Minella as Marine the Raccoon, Mike Pollock as Dr. Eggman (and also Eggman Nega), and Pete Capella as the mysterious G-merl.

The story goes like this.: It’s kinda like a mixture of the stories of OTL’s Sonic Advance 3 and Sonic Rivals.

So here are the teams for this game.

1. Team Sonic - Sonic, Tails, Blaze, and Marine
2. Team Rose - Amy Rose, Cream, Big the Cat, and Trinity the Tigress
3. Team Knux - Knuckles, Mighty, Ray, and Max the Monkey
4. Team Hooligan - Fang, Bean, Bark, and Shadow
5. Team Dark - Rouge the Bat, Mach the Rabbit, Pinchy the Crustacean, and E-123 Omega
6. Team Mystery - Feel the Rabbit, Honey the Cat, Swift the Raccoon, and Metal Sonic

The worlds, twelve in all, each containing four acts, are as follows:

1. Zone 1: Route 99 Zone - This zone is a man-made urban city built around a large metropolis arranged with rails, construction and switches. The boss is a giant hammer that the player must hit after it tries to crush him/her.
2. Zone 2: Wave Ocean Zone - This zone is a beach side resort just outside the Sol Dimension’s capital city. It consists of hourglass-like structures that spring the characters in an upward direction, poles to swing on, water slides, and bottomless pits that are arranged throughout the Zone. The boss is a giant wheel that rolls around the boss room, even on the ceilings.
3. Zone 3: Ruined Stadium Zone - This zone is a desert ruin based on Ancient Roman architecture. The boss is the Egg Falcon, a large robotic bird that resembles the Egg Hawk.
4. Zone 4: White Acropolis Zone - This zone is one of Eggman Nega's many bases, constructed over a wide area in a snow-covered, mountainous region. The area is replete with watchtowers and Spotlights. In addition, there are heavy snowstorms which lower visibility to a degree. The boss is the Egg Lynx, a large robotic lynx.
5. Zone 5: Circus Park Zone - This zone is similar to Casino Park, since it has an amusement theme going on. The boss is a giant jack-in-the-box that attacks in unpredictable ways when hit. The boss must be defeated by being pushed into a bottomless pit.
6. Zone 6: Radical Train Zone - This zone is set in a canyon and it appears to be a terminal station for the Sol Dimension. The boss is the Egg Turtle, a large robot turtle.
7. Zone 7: Digital Circuit Zone - This zone is set in some cyberspace world filled with on/off platforms that had to be turned on or off by an on/off switch. The boss is a hologram of Emerald Eggman from Sonic 4.
8. Zone 8: Iron Jungle Zone - This zone is one of Eggman Nega's many bases, constructed over a jungle. The boss is the Egg Kong, a King Kong-like robot.
9. Zone 9: Aquatic Base Zone - This zone is a high-tech research facility, hidden beneath the waters of the Sol Dimension. The boss chases the characters up falling platforms into a giant submarine.
10. Zone 10: Cyber Track Zone - This zone is a cyberspace-based Zone that features moving platforms that are placed everywhere. Some travel along set paths, and some collapse after a bit. It is possible to fall up and die if the gravity is switched. The boss hides below a platform and can only be hit by knocking back the colored balls it shoots.
11. Zone 11: Chaos Angel Zone - This zone is known to be Angel Island that Eggman Nega has taken control of. This is one of the few final standard zones from a Sonic game not to take place in a man-made base. The boss of this zone attacks by knocking the characters into spikes and there is switched gravity to make it more difficult.
12. Zone 12: Altar Emerald Zone - This zone is the altar that holds the Master Emerald. Here the player fights G-merl and Eggman Nega's final boss robot. He uses robot hands and balls to attack. It is difficult to do, but the player has to ride up the balls or ride on the robot hands as they rise up again after destroying two platforms and hit him on his weak spot.
13. Final Zone: Nonaggression Zone - This zone is unlocked upon completing the Altar Emerald stage as all six teams. After Eggman Nega is defeated, G-merl disobeys Eggman and transforms into Ultimate G-merl, forcing his master to team up with Super Sonic to stop his creation. The background is strange and slightly demented, too.

Yeah, that’s all I can think of for Sonic Synergy.

I'll think about how 2007 will fare for the Big N, as well as the other mentioned games.

 

[MegaToon1234]

It’s the year 2007, the year the Nintendo Revolution was released. Before we get to that, let’s get to see how the other Nintendo consoles are doing.

As you can see, some more Motion Control-oriented games are released for the Nintendo Vortex, and they include Mario Super Sluggers, Cooking Mama: Cook Off, Endless Ocean, Excite Truck, Paper Mario: On the Flipside (which is known as Super Paper Mario IOTL), Virtua Fighter 5, and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. Along with that, Nintendo releases a brand new 2D Metroid title for the DS, known as Metroid Dread. Other DS releases include Golden Sun: The Solar Soothsayer, Card Hero: HyperSpeed, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Time, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Wario: Master of Disguise, Mario Party DS, Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, Diddy Kong Racing DS, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, and Sonic the Hedgehog: Mega Driven Classics (a compilation of the Sega Genesis games of Sonic the Hedgehog).

Now, off to see the Nintendo Revolution!
The Nintendo Revolution

The Nintendo Revolution
Released in: June 6, 2007​

The Nintendo Revolution (known as the Nintendo Wii IOTL) is Nintendo’s latest console (as of 2007). It uses the Motion Remote, now called the Revo-Remote, as the primary controller, with a standard Pro controller to be released later on. The focus is on motion-controlled games, like the ones you see in the bottom.
Now, let’s get to the launch titles!

• Boogie
• Dewy’s Adventure
• Mario Party 8
• Mario Strikers Charged
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
• Nintendo Sports Revolution (a sequel to Nintendo Sports)
• Play Motion Revolution (a sequel to Play Motion)
• Sonic Riders: Zero-Gravity
• Super Mario Castle World DX (A remake of Super Mario Castle World) (Just stay tuned for the new 3D Mario game)
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
• Transformers: The Game
• And a few other launch titles that wouldn’t be mentioning because I’m running out of them...

The Revo-Menu (which is known as the Wii Menu IOTL) is the graphical shell of the Nintendo Revolution. It has four pages, each with a 4:3 grid, and each displaying the current time and date. Available applications, known as "channels", are displayed and can be navigated using the pointer capability of the Revo-Remote. The grid is customizable; users can move channels (except for the Disc Channel) among the menu's 47 customizable slots by pressing and holding the A and B button while hovering over the channel the user wants to move. By pressing the plus and minus buttons on the Revo-Remote users can scroll across accessing empty slots. Since everything’s the same as it was IOTL, there are some notable differences. Some name differences for the channels, such as the Revo-Shop Channel (Wii Shop Channel) and the Playtar Channel (Mii Channel), are implemented. The Netflix channel was preinstalled into the console at launch. And also a few changes never seen IOTL. Also, the Miis are known as “Playtars” ITTL.

 

[MegaToon1234]

I made this for President Sunflower, because this person is wondering how Touhou and Plants vs. Zombies fare in this AU. Well, here are your answers.

For Touhou: Touhou still exists in this AU of mine, and they actually came to consoles ITTL. As for who actually localizes them? I dunno. Maybe they are localized by Squaresoft.

For Plants vs. Zombies: Plants vs. Zombies still exists in this AU of mine, albeit it started in 2007 rather than 2009.

So yeah, that's what happened to them.

 

[MegaToon1234]

2008 is quite a very impressive year so far for Nintendo! Looking at the releases for the Nintendo Revolution, these include Super Mario Galaxy (except there are some differences from OTL), Mario Kart: Stunt Stars!! (which is known as Mario Kart Wii IOTL), Captain Rainbow, Diddy Kong Racing: Nuts & Bolts (which is a spin-off to Diddy Kong Racing; which is known as Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts IOTL), Animal Crossing: City Folk, Boom Blox, Wario Land: Shake It!, Mega Man 9, Lego Batman: The Video Game, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Sonic Unleashed, Cooking Mama: World Tour, Bomberman Blast, World of Goo, and other additional games released for the Nintendo Revolution or became RevoWare titles.

Notable Nintendo DS releases include The Legendary Starfy and the Dire Pirate Squad, Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise, Fossil Fighters, Dinosaur King, Ristar Touched, Arkanoid DS, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Inazuma Eleven, and other additional games released for the Nintendo DS. Also, as a bonus, an animated series based off of the WarioWare games was aired. And there’s another thing, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was released in order to promote the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.

But wait! There’s more! A successor to the Nintendo DS has been released!

The Super Nintendo DS

The Super Nintendo DS
Released in: November 1, 2008​

This is based on the Nintendo DSi from OTL, as it has the camera features and such. Also, here’s the launch titles for this system.

[MegaToon1234]

Before we get to 2009, does anyone wanna help me out on more information on this document that I have?: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z09duoGaMMQwCh0zbmYlXvNWPuwOgN7jr4mY6YpAeHk/edit?usp=sharing

If so, then I appreciate it!

 

[MegaToon1234]

Just a minute, not so fast! Before this goes on any further, I just wanna let you know that before 2009 starts, maybe there should be an off-topic thing going on, ok?

Ok, let’s do it off-topic for the fifth time, right?

• After a few failures, Vanguard Animation went bankrupt. (Because of that, the movies that Vanguard Animation later made after 2010 IOTL (as well as Gnome Alone) are butterflied away.)
• Animated Atrocities doesn't exist, and Mr. Enter focuses on making documentary-style videos, similar to his series Technocracy.
• Because of Osama bin Laden’s death in 1998, the events of 9/11 are butterflied away. No one knows about the War on Terror...yet.
• G-Force was made by Pixar instead of being live-action.
• Illumination Entertainment went defunct after the negative reviews of Hop. CEO of Illumination Chris Meledandri then works for DreamWorks Pictures. Which means that The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets 1 and 2, Sing, and The Grinch ended up as Dreamworks movies or something.
• LazyTown started some reruns on The Hub in the United States in 2012. Also, Seasons 3 & 4 premiered in the U.S. on The Hub as well.
• League of Super Evil's second and third seasons get aired in the United States.
• Nickelodeon picks up Adventure Time while Cartoon Network picks up Fanboy and Chum-Chum.
• Oddity Archive was picked up by Nickelodeon instead of Breadwinners, and used as a teaching tool to help kids learn about the odder, often scarier, parts of film, TV, music and technology. However, Breadwinners does get picked up by Disney X-D.
• Pixar’s Newt doesn’t get cancelled and was released in 2014, albeit with a different plot.
• Sanjay & Craig gets rejected by Nickelodeon, but the show does become a Netflix original in 2014.
• Shugo Chara! gets an English dub which would air on Teletoon at Night in Canada and Toonami in the US.
• Teen Titans Go is made, but the writing and character personality is more accurate to the source material, which is the original Teen Titans.
• The Boston Bomb Scare never happened. That said, Stuart Snyder didn’t take over Cartoon Network, which led him to work for Nickelodeon.
• The infamous Pooh’s Adventures never got made, due to the creator of this thing realizing that it was too hard to make and also realizing that it’ll upset hardcore Disney fans, and so he decided to cancel the Pooh’s Adventures thing and started to come up with something smaller and easier to do, which turned out to be actually decent. It was a surreal book known as “The Bear That Invaded Movies”. (As for the Pooh’s Adventures Wiki? It became a wiki about really good crossovers that make so much sense.)
• Where the Dead Go to Die doesn't exist and Jimmy Screamerclauz is located and gets arrested for life.
• YandereDev (the creator of Yandere Simulator IOTL) just ended up as an office worker ITTL. Yeah.

Now, let’s get to 2009!

As for 2009, so far, things are looking up for Nintendo right now, and let’s see what we got.

For the Nintendo Revolution, there’s the new MotionPlus accessory for the Revo-Remote, and one of the first games to have that feature is Nintendo Sports Resort (known as Wii Sports Resort IOTL). Other notable releases for the Nintendo Revolution are Super Mario Revolution (known as New Super Mario Bros. Wii IOTL), an updated version of Revo-Fitness (known as Wii Fit IOTL) known as Revo-Fitness Plus (known as Wii Fit Plus IOTL), Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, PokePark: Pikachu’s Adventure, Banjo-Fourie, Conker’s Very Ruff Fur Day, Mario Party 9 (it’s different from OTL’s Mario Party 9), Metroid Prime Trilogy, a new version of A Boy and His Blob, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, F-Zero RX, sequels to The Mysterious Murasame Castle, Tin-Star, Duck Hunt, and other retro Nintendo IPs (including Punch-Out!!), Puyo Puyo 7, BowserQuest: Another Intergalactic Sidestory (A sequel to BowserQuest: An Intergalactic Sidestory) and also Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.

As for the Super Nintendo DS, notable releases for this handheld system are Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, Scribblenauts, Art Academy, Dragon Quest IX, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop, Gardening Mama, WarioWare D.I.Y., and other releases I won’t be mentioning because I’m running out of what to name.

I know what you’re thinking, what about the third Super Smash Bros. game? Well, let’s take a look!

And Now, Super Smash Bros. Blast!
P.S.: It’s known as Super Smash Bros. Brawl IOTL.

Super Smash Bros. Blast is the third game in the Super Smash Bros. series, released exclusively for the Nintendo Revolution. Based on OTL’s Brawl, it expands greatly upon the features of the first two Super Smash Bros. games, with many of the added minigames and modes that Brawl got OTL, including a multi-hour adventure mode similar to OTL's Subspace Emissary, in which all of the game's characters play a role in the plot and the player must fight numerous boss battles based on enemies from previous games. While some characters from Super Smash Bros.

51. Waluigi (Wario) (NEWCOMER)
52. Wario
53. Wolf (Star Fox) (NEWCOMER)
54. Yoshi (Yoshi’s Island)

The gameplay is like TTL’s Melee, except now it has some features from OTL’s Brawl (minus the random tripping). It also features almost twice the stages present in Super Smash Bros. Melee, both old stages from previous games and plenty of new ones, which include stages for many of the new characters. The game also has a MASSIVE soundtrack, bigger than OTL's Brawl, with hundreds of songs, including originals and remixes, from every featured game in the series and many more. These songs are unlockable during play to listen to any time the player wishes. In addition, trophies and achievements appear in the game. As for unlockable characters, you start with default 25 fighters (Mario, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Link, Samus, Captain Falcon, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Princess Peach, Diddy & Dixie, Princess Zelda/Sheik, Lucas, Pyronica Doragon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Pokemon Trainer, Ike, Pit, Wario, Olimar, Nise A. Zure, and Banjo & Kazooie) and the remaining 29 fighters are unlocked either by accomplishing certain things in-game (mostly in Adventure mode) or playing a certain number of vs. matches. Unlike OTL Brawl, Super Smash Bros. Blast features a generous amount of voice acting, almost always by the original voice actors, giving the game one of the most star studded voice casts to date. This voice acting almost always shows up only in Adventure Mode cutscenes, though victory animations and in-battle taunts do feature some voice acting too. Traditionally silent characters like Mario, Link, etc. remain so during cutscenes (though obviously Mario still has his brief voice clips and sound effects).

The Adventure Mode is the same as it was IOTL, except now it’s more technology-based, the Primids now resemble the Fighting Polygon Team from SSB64, elements from Super Mario RPG are included, and other changes. It is slightly longer, with more stages and in particular, more bosses. Also, here’s the boss list.:

1. Petey Piranha (Super Mario)
2. Rayquaza (Pokemon)
3. Porky (Earthbound)
4. Sinister Sorceress (BowserQuest)
5. Galleom (Original)
6. Ridley (Metroid)
7. Axem Rangers (Super Mario RPG)
8. Heavy Lobster (Kirby) (replaces Duon ITTL)
9. Yin-Yang-Yatta (A robotic being that resembles Duon from OTL)
10. Meta Ridley (Metroid)
11. Cyber Hand (a rebuilt cyborg version of Master Hand created by a resurrected Smithy)
12. Tabuu (Original)

Destroying Tabuu ends the threat to the world and unlocks at least one new character if they haven't been unlocked already via other methods.

Man, this sure was a lot to say. Sorry if I haven’t updated anything in like, yesterday, so…

Wanna see how Touhou is doing in this AU of mine?

 

[MegaToon1234]

What is the Touhou Project?
A video game that’s originally made for Super Atari Nintendo Advanced Video System that’s developed by Taito and published by LizardTown Inc. for every video game console (Except Xbox because there is no Xbox in Japan).
Touhou 12 - Attack of the Evil Clones (Undefined Fantastic Object IOTL)
The latest entry in Touhou series during 2009, It is released for PlayStation 2, Nintendo Revolution, PC Released by Taito and Published by LizardTown inc..

The main playable characters are Reimu Hakurei, Marisa, Yukari Yakumo (Unlockable), Shinki (Unlockable), Mima (Unlockable), Cirno (Unlockable).

The main story is that Reimu Hakurei went for peace at her shrine but then the Incident occurs concerning evil clones, so this prompted Reimu and Marisa to stop whoever it is.
Wait! There’s more!

Reimu Confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Blast as DLC.
As you can see, Masahiro Sakurai introduced her into the Super Smash Bros. world as a fighter. She uses the same moves that she does in her own games but she was nerfed to prevent her overpowered status from players apparently cheating.​

• Her entrance is Yukari Yakumo opens the border and Reimu Hakurei appears to fight against the fighter.​
• Her theme song is Fantasy Heaven.​
• She has her own Koopa Kodec (Nise A. Zure’s version of OTL’s Snake Codec).​
• Reimu has her own Kirby hats.​

On a side-note, the other remaining DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Blast are Ristar, Lip (Puzzle League), Omnipochamp (Pokemon), Isaac (Golden Sun), Mega Man, Bomberman, and Bill Rizer (Contra).

As a bonus, there are a few characters never seen in Touhou IOTL, such as Mitori Kawashiro, Lie Meiling, and Karen Yawata. And yes, they are fan-made characters. Keep that in mind.

Well then, that’s all I can think of for Touhou right now. @President Sunflower and I collaborated on it, BTW.

Nintendo has reached a new decade for themselves! For starters, a HD revision of the Nintendo Revolution has been released, and it is known as the “Nintendo Revolution HD”. A new add-on for the Nintendo Revolution is a tablet peripheral which teases Nintendo’s next console. It’s known as the “Revo-Pad”, which is like OTL’s Wii U GamePad. Here’s what it looks like in the image below the text.

Anyway, notable releases for the Nintendo Revolution include Donkey Kong Country Returns (which is made in collaboration with Rare and Retro Studios), Playtar Party (known as Wii Party IOTL), Epic Mickey, Sonic Colors, Mario Sports Mix, Mega Man 10, Super Mario All-Stars: Remixed! (which is a new version of Super Mario All-Stars where the games (Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. Plus, Super Mario Bros. 2: The Legend of the Warp Zone, Royal Flush: Princess Sidestory, Super Mario Land, Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 3, Luigi’s Adventure: Mario is Missing!, Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, Super Mario: Lost in Subcon, Super Mario Legacy: Super Mario Bros. 4, Super Mario CD: Across the Worlds, and Super Mario Land Advance) are styled to have the graphics look like those seen in Super Mario Origins, Super Mario Legends, and Super Mario Revolution. (kinda like the New Super Mario All Stars NewerSMBWii hack IOTL but better)), FlingSmash, BowserQuest: Lights, Camera, Fire! (a BowserQuest party game), Metroid: Other M, Xenoblade Chronicles, Sonic Free Riders (which is played with the Revo-Pad ITTL), Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing (except with a few butterflies), Sonic Beyond (based on this), and Knuckles’ Chaotix Adventure (a sequel to Knuckles’ Chaotix).

As for the Super Nintendo DS releases, they include Pokemon Black and White, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Super Scribblenauts, Fossil Fighters: Champions, Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns, Mega Man Zero Collection, Super Mario: Mini-Land Mayhem (based off of OTL’s Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem, except with a different plot), Super Mario Kart CD (a remake of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart CD combined), and Shantae: Dijin Demolition.

Meanwhile, at Ubisoft, a film adaptation of the Raving Rabbids franchise has been released, done by Illumination Entertainment. Oh! And speaking of film adaptations, Nintendo has announced a new Super Mario movie in the works, and it’s not one of the movies from the Super Mario anime (Super Mario Mushroom World Adventures), but rather a film adaptation of the Super Mario franchise. Oh! And speaking of Super Mario, Super Mario Galaxy 2 gets delayed for extra polish, while a Super Mario game released for the Nintendo Revolution takes its place where it’s a crossover of the Super Mario series, the BowserQuest series, the Donkey Kong series, the Yoshi’s Island series, and the Wario series. It was called “Super Mario X-Over”.

Well, that’s all I can think of for Nintendo’s 2010 run. If you have any ideas, let me know through private messages.

Any Nintendo PC release ideas for 2011 onwards?

 

[MegaToon1234]

"The 2000s may be done, but the 2010s are just beginning!"
I know it's supposed to be in the 2010 section, but I forgot to include it.​

The year is 2011, things are starting to become very interesting. Nintendo releases the Nintendo 3DS. But before that, let’s get to what’s going on.

For the Nintendo Revolution, notable releases for this system include Super Mario Galaxy 2, Paper Mario: Sticker Star (in which unlike IOTL, has the elements from the previous Paper Mario games), The Last Story, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, Puyo Puyo: 20th Anniversary!!, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Fortune Street, PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond, BowserQuest: Back to the Basics (A throwback to the previous 2D BowserQuest installments with a 2D art style (a la Rayman Origins)), The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Sonic Generations. As for the Super Nintendo DS, one of the notable releases for this system is Kirby Mass Attack. Yeah.

And now, for the big one, the Nintendo 3DS!

The Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS
Released in: February 26, 2011 (in Japan); March 25, 2011 (in North America)​

There it is! The successor to the Nintendo DS and the Super Nintendo DS combined, known for the ability of the upper screen to display 3D without the need for glasses in a technique known as “autostereoscopy”, the motion and gyroscopic detection for interactivity with the games and apps that use movement of the system, the new analog circle control, referred to by Nintendo as a 'Circle Pad', a first for a Nintendo handheld, and the two outer camera lenses, enabling users to take pictures and videos and view them in 3D.

The system is also able to provide optimal comfort levels, as shown by the 3D depth slider that adjusts how much depth the 3D has, or turns the 3D off.

There is also an adjustable telescopic stylus, which fits in the left side of the card slot like the original DS, and can be adjusted in a length of up to 3.94 inches long.

As always, here are the notable launch titles included!:

• Bust-a-Move Universe
• Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D
• Nintendogs + Cats
• Pilotwings Resort
• Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
• Ridge Racer 3D
• Steel Diver
• Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition
• Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D

There are more launch titles than those, but that’s all I got.

Also, the Nintendo 3DS has Playtars from the Nintendo Revolution.
The Rest of the Nintendo 3DS Releases
Also, did you know that the 3DS is known for the 3DS eShop? AR Cards? AR Games? Face Raiders? Swapnote? Flipnote Studio 3D?

Well, there are other releases for the Nintendo 3DS after it launched in 2011, so…

• Banjo-3D-ie (A 3DS remake of Banjo-Kazooie)
• Bit.Trip Saga
• Cave Story 3D
• Colorblends 3D
• Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic
• Dead or Alive: Dimensions
• Frogger 3D
• Mario Kart: Land, Air, and Sea Dash!! (known as Mario Kart 7 IOTL)
• Mighty Switch Force!
• Pokemon Rumble Blast
• Puyo Puyo: 20th Anniversary!!
• Sonic Generations
• Star Fox 64 3D
• Super Mario: Tanooki Trouble (known as Super Mario 3D Land IOTL)
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
• And some other games that I won’t mention because that’s all I can mention.

That’s all for the 3DS releases. BTW, about Sonic Generations, has any of it changed from OTL? The answer is yes.

Right now, we’re focusing on the Revolution/PC versions because the 3DS version can wait.

The story will be the same, except now there are some differences that you’ll see later on. Why? Let’s talk about the stages to find out!
First Era (1991-1996)

• Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog (1991))
• Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
• Sky Sanctuary Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 3)
• White Park Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 4)
• Star Canyon Zone (Sonic Overture)

Second Era (1998-2003)

• Speed Highway (Sonic Adventure)
• City Escape (Sonic Adventure 2)
• Angel Island Zone (Sonic Neo)
• Seaside Hill (Sonic Heroes)
• Sky Canyon (Sonic Neo 2)

Third Era (2004-2010)

• Night Carnival (Sonic Rush)
• Machine Labyrinth (Sonic Rush Adventure)
• Digital Circuit Zone (Sonic Synergy)
• Rooftop Run (Sonic Unleashed)
• Planet Wisp (Sonic Colors)

Bosses

• RIVAL: Classic Metal Sonic, Stardust Speedway (Sonic the Hedgehog CD)
• MAIN BOSS: Death Egg Robot, Death Egg Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
• MID-WAY BOSS: Silver the Hedgehog (Round 1), Mid-way Point Between the First Era and the Second Era (Sonic Generations) (NOTE: Silver the Hedgehog makes his first appearance in Sonic Generations ITTL, and he appears as a omnipotent time-bending hedgehog who’s thought to be evil because of him tampering with the timeline due to the Time Eater, but later on at the end of the story, we find out that he’s not evil, just misunderstood.)
• RIVAL: Shadow the Hedgehog, Final Rush (Sonic Adventure 2)
• MAIN BOSS: Perfect Chaos, Station Square (Sonic Adventure)
• MID-WAY BOSS: Silver the Hedgehog (Round 2), Mid-way Point Between the Second Era and the Third Era (Sonic Generations)
• RIVAL: G-merl, Altar Emerald Zone (Sonic Synergy)
• MAIN BOSS: Egg Dragoon, Eggmanland (Sonic Unleashed)
• MID-WAY BOSS: Silver the Hedgehog (Round 3), Mid-way Point Between the Third Era and the Center of Time (Sonic Generations)
• FINAL BOSS: Time Eater, Center of Time (Sonic Generations) (ITTL, the Time Eater is created by Silver the Hedgehog due a bizarre mishap involving time itself.)

Other notable story differences are a scene that actually shows Classic Tails without showing up out of nowhere, a few more allies (Feel the Rabbit, Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, Mach the Rabbit, Honey the Cat, and Marine the Raccoon), additional characters making cameos in the trophy room (Fang the Sniper, Bark the Polar Bear, Bean the Dynamite, the newcomers from Sonic the Fighters: Round 2, Emerl, Max the Monkey, and Eggette), a detail where Classic Metal Sonic, Shadow the Hedgehog, and G-merl are actually clones from the past created by Silver the Hedgehog (on a side-note, Shadow sacrificed himself at the end of Sonic Synergy), the addition of Classic Knuckles, Classic Amy Rose, and Modern Metal Sonic, and other changes. Yeah. That’s it for Sonic’s 20th Anniversary game. That’s all I can think of. As well as the Nintendo 3DS, and 2011. As for next year? Let’s find out!

 

[MegaToon1234]

That's right! Nintendo's New Groove is getting a new wiki made in Miraheze is coming soon! Here's the link to this.: nintendosnewgroove.miraheze.org

If anyone has a Miraheze account, it's free to work on! If not, then you should make one.

 

[MegaToon1234]

That's right! The official Nintendo's New Groove AU wiki on Miraheze is officially out now! Sure, it looks empty, but you can help by editing some stuff and creating some pages too!: https://nintendosnewgroove.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

If anyone has a Miraheze account, it's free to work on! If not, then you should make one.

In case you’re wondering about Capcom’s cancelled games, well, some of them weren’t cancelled unlike IOTL (such as Mega Man Legends 3), while some of them were cancelled due to many reasons. But anyway, let’s get to 2012!

Would you look at that! 2012 has been a very interesting year for Nintendo, where it mostly has their ups and downs! The Nintendo Revolution has gotten some releases like Mario Party 10 (which was OTL’s Mario Party 9), Kirby’s Dream Collection, Rhythm Heaven Fever, and Sonic Havoc (a Sonic game that probably takes place before Sonic Generations (a.k.a.: the last Sonic game where Dr. Eggman was an antagonist (except for prequels, spin-offs, the Sonic Boom series, and Sonic Mania)).

(Then this music starts playing)
Well, I’m running out of releases for the Nintendo Revolution. As for the Super Nintendo DS, the notable release for it was Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. So...I dunno what to put here anymore. I can’t think of what to choose...I think it’s best to leave them behind right now and go to the Nintendo 3DS.

Wow, that’s out of nowhere!​

Anyway, the Nintendo 3DS! Notable releases for the Nintendo 3DS are Kid Icarus: Uprising, Wario Land: Gold Rush! (which is like OTL’s New Super Mario Bros. 2, but as a Wario Land game!), Golden Sun: The Crystalized Crescent (another Golden Sun game), Animal Crossing: New Leaf, BowserQuest in High-Class 3D!, Paper Mario: Raiders of the Cardboard Cutouts, Dillon’s Rolling Western, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Mutant Mudds, HarmoKnight, Mario Tennis Open, Sonic Havoc, and other releases for this system I can’t mention because there’s a lot of them.

Oh yeah! I have heard through the grapevine that Nintendo’s working on a new console, which will contain new controllers, the Game Pad from the Nintendo Revolution, and more! Just to see if the rumors are true, what will it be? Don’t answer! Let’s get to a certain game that...affected a certain Nintendo IP.

The Story of Fire Emblem Awakening and How It Ended the Fire Emblem Series on a High Note

The latest installment of the Fire Emblem series known as “Fire Emblem Awakening” was released in Japan on April 19, 2012. It was known for an avatar playable character, the ability to build relationships between the characters to improve their abilities, adjustable difficulty levels, a mode that disables the permanent death of characters, and multiple camera perspectives in battle.

Unfortunately, it never sold so well, despite the positive reception, and that’s because Golden Sun: The Crystalized Crescent (which is on the Nintendo 3DS) sold more copies than Fire Emblem Awakening (and funnily enough, Golden Sun: The Crystalized Crescent has an avatar playable character and adjustable difficulty levels). This means one thing, Fire Emblem Awakening is now the last Fire Emblem game.

R.I.P.: The Fire Emblem series
April 20, 1990-April 19, 2012​

Now you may be wondering how would this affect anything? First off, any title from Fates onward would either be radically changed (The spinoffs) or be butterflied away (The core titles). Next, in terms of Smash Bros rosters, a few changes would be implemented (am I foreshadowing something?).:

• Corrin and Byleth would be replaced with Chibi-Robo and the Monster Hunter, respectively.
• Speaking of less FE reps, Robin would be the only Awakening rep.
• The infamous "FIRE EMBLEM HAS TOO MANY REPS!!!" debacle would be nonexistent, seeing as though the roster for that franchise is cut in half in comparison to OTL.
• The other content that the franchise receives, like Assist Trophies and Spirits, would still be the same, minus the now-butterflied mainline games.
• We would even see Assist Trophies of Frederick, Hector, and Celica, so as to increase the content without making another game.

Finally, the franchise would be praised for going out on a high note, unlike franchises like OTL’s Sonic, who keep getting worse with every new release.

Other butterflies included are…

• Gaiden would remain the series' most obscure title as opposed to getting an uptick in popularity with a remake.
• Awakening being the final game would also mean that instead of becoming a pillar of Nintendo's, something else likely does to fill in the "RPG/strategy demographic", which will be the Golden Sun series.
• Intelligent Systems likely goes back to the Paper Mario series full time, and maybe some Puzzle League, WarioWare, and others too.
• Three Houses won't exist, become a smash hit and catapult the franchise to previously unknown heights of popularity.
• As for the team behind Awakening, they would later go on to start a new indie game that is a spiritual successor to the Fire Emblem series. What was it called? Give me some ideas for that, ok?

Anyways, on to the new Nintendo console! What was it called? Let’s find out next time on the next threadmark!

 

[MegaToon1234]

And now, our feature presentation!

The Nintendo U-Zone
Released in: November 18, 2012​

Ever since the Nintendo Revolution HD came out, Nintendo has worked on this console, until now! This is the Nintendo U-Zone! An all-new HD gaming console with lots of things to know about, and it comes with the Revo-Pad from the Nintendo Revolution, now known as the “U-Zone Game Pad”. It’s even backwards-compatible with the Nintendo Revolution. Online functionality centers around the Nintendo Network platform and Playtar-verse (known as Miiverse OTL), an integrated social networking service which allows users to share content in game-specific communities. Also, the Nintendo e-Shop is there too.

Now, let’s get to the launch titles!

• Assassin’s Creed III
• Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition
• Call of Duty: Black Ops II
• Darksiders II
• Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
• ESPN Sports Connection
• FIFA Soccer 13
• Game Party Champions
• Just Dance 4
• Ninja Gaiden: Razor’s Edge
• Nintendo Land
• Puzzle League U
• Rabbids Land
• Scribblenauts Unlimited
• Sing Party
• Skylanders Giants (A sequel to Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure)
• Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
• Sonic Havoc
• Super Mario World: The Untold Adventure (which is a remake of Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 3 (while taking elements from OTL’s New Super Mario Bros. U), and it takes OTL’s New Super Mario Bros. U’s place as a launch title (on a side-note, the New Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. U equivalents will come later))
• Tekken Tag Tournament 2
• Transformers Prime
• Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper
• Wipeout 3
• Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013
• ZombiU

Also, along with the Game Pad, there’s even a splittable pro controller, which resembles a mixture between OTL’s Wii U pro controller and a Joy-Con. Also, because of that, the Nintendo U-Zone was actually very successful (unlike OTL’s Wii U), but nearly to the extent of the Xbox One (which will be known as the Xbox 720 ITTL).

Well, looks like we got 2012 covered. What about next year? Well, let’s wait and see what it has in store.

 

[MegaToon1234]

Now, in case you’re wondering about how the text is greener. It’s because it’s the Year of Luigi!

Yeah, and we got lots of Luigi-related stuff going on. Those include Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, some Luigi-focused DLC for Super Mario World: The Untold Adventure known as “The Luigi Stories”, where you can play as Luigi, Princess Daisy, Toad, and Nabbit, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Super Luigi Adventures (which is New Super Mario Bros. 2 IOTL, except without the gold mechanic.), Dr. Luigi, and other games starring Luigi! It’s all about Luigi! Along with Princess Daisy, Professor E. Gadd, the Red Yoshi, Tatanga, King Boo, and...a Polterpup? Regardless, it’s been a grand year for Nintendo, not only it’s the Year of Luigi, it’s also the Year of the Famicom (the Japanese ANAVS)! Yeah! It’s really a big deal!​

Anyways, more Nintendo U-Zone games have been released, where they really make use of the Game Pad and the splittable pro controller! These include Super Mario One-4-All (known as Super Mario 3D World), Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Playtar Party U (known as Wii Party U IOTL), Revo-Fitness U (known as Wii Fit U IOTL), Lego City Undercover, Nintendo Sports Club (known as Wii Sports Club), Rayman Legends, DuckTales Remastered, Game & Wario, Sonic Lost World (which has a better plot, the Deadly Six are handled better, Dr. Eggman is replaced with EggRobo Mk. II (which is the EggRobo designed after the modern Eggman), and the final boss is the Zeti Shell (you know, the thing that Sonic kicked away) merged with the final boss of OTL’s Sonic Lost World), Skylanders: Swap Force, Mario Party 11, and BowserQuest U-Nigh-Ted (A sequel to BowserQuest: Back to the Basics).

As for the Nintendo 3DS, notable releases for this system are The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Tomodachi Life (which won’t come outside of Japan until 2014), Pokemon X & Y, Cooking Mama 5: Bon Appétit!, F-Zero 3DX, a new Touhou game, a new Golden Sun game, a new Punch-Out game, a new Ristar game, and for reasons unknown, a new Plok game. Also, there’s a Hatsune Miku game from Sega, because why not?

E3 2013 also announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart: Zero-Gravity (known as Mario Kart 8 IOTL), a new Super Smash Bros. game, and others too. They’ll be coming out in 2014. Keep your eyes on a lookout, ok?

 

[MegaToon1234]

Boom! Why is that? Because there is apparently an animated Sonic the Hedgehog series that wasn’t done in Japan. It’s called Sonic Boom.

Unlike Project Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic and the Stories of Mobius (the long-running Sonic anime), Sonic Boom is an American-French computer-animated CGI television series, produced by Sega of America, Inc. and Technicolor Animation Productions in collaboration with Lagardère Thématiques and Jeunesse TV, respectively for Cartoon Network, Canal J and Gulli. So, what’s the plot? Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and Sticks reside on Seaside Island in Hedgehog Village, formerly Unnamed Village. Together, they defend the island from various threats like Doctor Eggman and his robotic creations. It was really odd, but it gained a cult following. Also, did you know that it takes place in another continuity from the Sonic franchise?
Speaking of Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric will still exist, although it'll focus more on speed than combat, and it'll be given four more months of development time. Same applies to Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal.​

Now, where were we? Oh yeah! 2014 has been a big year for Nintendo themselves! Notable releases for the Nintendo U-Zone include Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart: Zero-Gravity (known as Mario Kart 8 IOTL), ANAVS Remix 2 (known as NES Remix 2 IOTL (it’s a sequel to ANAVS Remix (known as NES Remix IOTL), which I forgot to add to the 2013 section, BTW), Pushmo World, a new Golden Sun game, Pushmo World, Super Mario: Return to Dinosaur Island (which is a combination of OTL’s New Super Mario Bros. U and Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii), Shovel Knight (a new indie game IP), Shantae and the Mystery of the Lamp, a new F-Zero game, a new Sonic Riders game, a remake of one of the BowserQuest games, and some Plants vs. Zombies game.

Also, there are some notable Nintendo 3DS games, and they include Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder, Bravely Default, Steel Diver: Sub Wars, Yoshi’s Island 3 (known as Yoshi’s New Island IOTL, albeit with a completely different story), Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball, Gardening Mama 2: Forest Friends, Kirby: Hypernova Havoc (known as Kirby: Triple Deluxe IOTL), Mario Golf: World Tour, BlazBlue: Clone Phantasma, Azure Striker Gunvolt, Mighty Gunvolt, Fantasy Life, Pokemon Art Academy, Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

There is also Puyo Puyo Tetris, a crossover between Puyo Puyo and Tetris, and it came out in Japan in the year 2014. However, due to legal issues, it won’t be released outside of Japan until 2016. To compensate, HD releases of Puyo Pop, Puyo Puyo Fever 1 and 2, and Puyo Puyo 7 are released, as well as a Tetris game on the Nintendo U-Zone.

BTW, I invited Xander Mobus over here to make an announcement! Are you ready? If so, then…

One Game, But on Two Consoles: Super Smash Bros. Strife
That’s right! It’s one game, but on two consoles! Super Smash Bros. Duel Strife on the Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultra Strife on the Nintendo U-Zone! Oh yeah! We’re getting there!

I like that poster, BTW.​

Everything’s the same from OTL’s Super Smash Bros. 4, except with a better name, a different character roster, and more! First off, the character roster. The characters cut from Blast are Black Mage, Geno & Mallow, Pokemon Trainer, and the two DLC fighters from Blast (Bill Rizer and Omnipochamp). Although two fighters from Melee have returned, and they are Mr. Game & Watch and Mach Rider. Also, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are now separate fighters in this game.

As for DLC fighters, they are Sukapon (Joy Mech Fight), Lucas (Earthbound), Roy (Fire Emblem), Ryu (Street Fighter), Heart Aino (Arcana Heart), Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy), Chibi-Robo (Chibi-Robo!!), and Shantae (Shantae).
Depending on which version you have, there are different stages, different modes, different things to do, so on, so forth. However, Smash Tour has been butterflied away and it’s replaced with something called “The Tower of 100 Battles”, where players go through 100 battles against whatever number of opponents there are. Plus, after every ten battles brings in a randomized boss, each one of them represented by their own respective franchise (minus a few franchises and the DLC franchises). Examples being Nightmare (Kirby), Ridley (Metroid), Metal Face (Xenoblade Chronicles), and Toc-Man (Pac-Man).

Overall, it’s the same, but it’s rather different. Just wanna let you know.
