Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

Project M is more elaborate than other mods, but I still don't call it a separate game. In the end, it's still a mod. But you know, mods can become entirely different games, see Dota and Dota 2.

Whatever, I still wouldn't call it not an awesome mod. Mods are always a plus in any video game ever. I'm pretty damn serious about that statement.

Mods sometimes steal from the spotlight though, and they may make pirating easier, but a game with mod support is nearly always a plus. I think mods increase sales of a game in general though.

Project M is pretty fun since it makes it easy to add whatever the hell I want to the game. I don't consider it seperate, in the end, you're still using a Brawl disc.

It's bugging me that people consider Project M a separate game. I think in the end, it's still just a really elaborate Barlw Mod despite how popular it is.

That being said, I rather the modders focus their development efforts into Project M before they start doing anything to Smush, but I do look forward seeing Smush get modded in the future.

It's not a separate game in the single slightest. You're required to own a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl in order for it to work, and since its framework is utterly dependent on Brawl, calling it its own separate game is like calling the different game mode mods in Gmod their own separate game. Or Newer Super Mario Bros. a separate game. They're not.

Dota and others may started out as mods, but they're certainly their own dependent game that doesn't require a copy of the original game they're based off of to run properly.

At most, it's its own entity since it does give out significant gameplay/aesthetic changes, but people need to stop lumping Project M as its own separate Smash title alongside the other Smash Bros. games. Otherwise, I may as well say Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii is the best New Super Mario Bros. game.
