Not that redundant. You can think the title fits the game well in the sense that it accurately describes what it's about, but you don't have to like the title. Two separate questions.

Come on, whoever doesn't think that Sony is just ripping off of Nintnedo is kidding themselves. That said, this will bomb on the market, Sony just doesn't have the same stable of characters that Nintendo has built up over the last couple decades.

GOW IV and TLOU will also be there.
I don't believe the stuff at Paul's News Network (especially not the updates), but the tweet from SuperBot and leaked picture of Sweet Tooth make it likely that this is legit.
TLOU?

Can't wait for Nintendo to tap into the TPS market with Gears of Wario to invest in a lucrative genre that generally isn't served on their platforms.

Also, if this is real, day 1 for me.
Mario Kart is so successful that Sony has tried to get in on this every generation and twice so far this generation.

A game like this will go a long way to re-engaging people with characters of old and we might see some of them make a return if demand is there. It also promotes other games. If I'm a member of Joe Public and I want to see Kratos kick the crap out of Nathan Drake, fine. But I'll also be exposed to Sackboy, Cole, Sir Daniel Fortesque, PaRappa etc.
For me, on paper Sony has more characters I care about, mainly because I was about eight when the PSX released.
Oh yeah. So it will be a typical Sony press conference: Some nice flashy games, but nothing too surprising. I'm ok with that.
Not this again...

I think Vita will be where the surprises are at. PS3 is winding down. Vita needs some big guns and I reckon Sony have a few up their sleeve.
Can't believe you replied to a juvenile troll bait post like that, and in such a mature manner too.
Kudos.

Same for me. I grew up with Sega, and was 11 when the PS1 released in Europe in 1995 (although I didn't get one until 1997). I just don't have any nostalgia for Nintendo's characters whatsoever, but I'll gladly take Drake, Kratos, Sir Daniel Fortesque, a Nissan Skyline, Jak and Ratchet any day. Throw in some third party characters like Cloud, Sephiroth, Heihachi and Snake to sweeten the deal.

Presumably this was not the first page of the survey and other information was given beforehand. Are you saying you want to see it because it would tell you what the game is like, or because you're skeptical of the survey design?

I don't know about that. I think Sony have great choice of characters for their first game, so I think it might be successful but I could be wrong. If it's real then I am interested to give it a try and it might keep me busy until SSB4 release to the public.

You are in luck! There'll be 30 different Nissan Skylines in the game!
The final boss will be Translator guy not giving a shit about any of your moves.
Maybe this game will be available for Vita as well. This is the type of game that you could pop in and out of on the go... well, if it's like smash that is.
Both. It would at least confirm the validity of the survey & shed new light on the game perhaps.

Definitely needs to have Translator-San as a playable character or a boss. And a stage set on a giant enemy crab.

Hopefully. Though Sony haven't done Vita versions of some games that would really benefit from them (Jak collection for instance). Konami and Square are even doing Vita versions of their HD remasters!

I already said the survey was real on the previous page.
What I didn't say was that I took it.
(am I allowed to say this now that the leak has happened?)
All's fair in love and internet.
Did you tell them you hated the title?

You say that, but I'm probably going to survey jail now.

The game has a chance as long as it's actually a good game.
As is typical, people pin Smash Bros' success on "Nintendo IP", but Smash Bros is actually an extremely good brawl/battle game. It's just plain fun to play and addictive.
The various Smash clones down through the years have, ultimately, had mediocre, uninspired content and play. Clearly, the thought behind them was "just make a vague clone of Smash Bros with some tie-in characters in it - it can't fail!" Except it always fails.
If Sony could step up and make a truly great party brawling game, it has a legitimate shot at success.

I actually said the title was fitting but that I didn't really like it.
I couldn't think of one I thought was better, though, so I can sympathize with their plight.

Why did you take a photo rather than a printscreen?
And do you know the muffin man?

Gears of Wario is clearly Retro's new game.

Not my photo. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I was the one who leaked it to the blog. I'm just confirming that survey exists. I took the survey. Not the photo. I'm only talking about it because it's already leaked.
Also, I don't see how a printscreen would appear more legit. Wouldn't that be easier to fake perfectly in photoshop than an offscreen pic?
So it's real then? Neat. Looking forward to it, but I really hope they get a varied cast of characters beyond the typical PS3 reps. PaRappa is certainly a good start.
And they really need to drop the All-Stars part.
That'd be too good to actually happen.

'Title fight' is just the worst
Battle Royale sounds good. Needs some exploding collars though
fake edit: For the love of FUCK get rid of the 'All Stars' bit, just stick to PBR.

Yeah..but sadly I think they will go for something like Naruto Ninja Storm mixed with Smash Bros.

You are not wrong, but I do think that the power of Nintendo's mascots help push units.
I don't think so. The title fits in that it gives you a good idea of what the game is about, even if the title is fucking terrible.

To those saying this is just a rip off of Nintendo....
SEGA did it first!

Also it appears that if you sign up for the site, you can still take the survey.. if you qualify.
