Holy fuck, Sakurai's insane to have made all these different mechanics just to accomodate one character. I mean they could have gone the easy route and just assigned different tools to different moves like purely a visual thing but nope, you actually dig and craft and build, wtf? He's nuts!
The new Mii costumes are cool too, especially Travis and Bomberman.
But wtf is going on here, I never liked Minecraft since the alpha/Java days (I bought it directly from Notch, it was a near instant hit, I bought other games like Mount & Blade's beta in this manner so, you're not somehow better or the only one to have heard of games before they got huge/got on Steam). It just wasn't for me, I wanted more in depth gameplay mechanics beyond digging and building and they never really expanded on the rest of it, it's super barebones with its survival, combat, enemies, variety, all the other elements in the world outside building. Of course since you can build stuff in terms of that your imagination (and grinding in adventure mode) is the limit, but I prefer being creative in other media, not Minecraft houses. How's that enough to label me as a hipster or whatever? Also if anything hipsters love it still. And it's always been a kids game and there's nothing wrong with that, I love other kids games, just not this one. Also Steve sucks, the graphics suck (seriously, if Minecraft wasn't a thing and this wasn't a Steve but some random miner/builder/villager/whatever from another game wouldn't you want them to be well designed with nice graphics and still have all these abilities with higher fidelity in models, textures, animations?), but this is a worthwhile addition as far as gameplay is concerned. I wouldn't have even commented on that, just how crazy this is for Smash, if you lot weren't going off characterizing people.
