User blog comment:DerpyDoodle/Smash Bros. for NX?/@comment-6684591-20151027225214

I personally love the handheld Smash. Plus, with the rumors that NX will be a console-handheld hybrid, I wouldn't be surprised if we got another Smash 4 esque installment, with two versions being developed at the same time for different components of the NX. However, because the handheld and console will most likely be part of a single system, I think that the handheld version would have all the same features as the console version, except not as expanded (fewer events in Event mode, fewer enemies in the Story mode (which I also want for Smash 5), and fewer levels in Classic Mode.)

The Story Mode should be like SSE in gameplay, I liked the side-scrolling aspect of it. Also, if 8-player smash returns, maybe Story mode could have FOUR player co-op? That'd be cool. Though I'd like the gameplay to be the same I definitely think it should have a new story entirely or a sequel to the SE from Brawl. I don't want to see old bosses (Ridley and Tabuu) recycled from SSE though. Bring in new bosses; if Inklings are in Smash 5, DJ Octavia needs to be a boss in story mode.

I also think that an additional custom move should be added, giving each character four custom move variations rather than three. The fourth move should be an entirely new move altogether to freshen up gameplay (maybe instead of Fireball, Mario could kick forwards a Koopa Shell that would work similarly to the item but not quite as powerful).

I don't think Sakurai will be returning for the new Smash, which is a bit unnerving considering how well he has done with all of the games so far; I just hope the next guy to make Smash 5 will be just as good as Sakurai was while also providing some new and fresh ideas to the series.
