Digimon All-Star Rumble Preview

The game looks like Smash Brothers with three dimensions.
However, it isn't Smash Brothers. The gameplay needs some tweeking to really get the amount of game psychology, depth, taunting and fun to match that type of gameplay. As Playstation All-Stars (coincidence or not?) has noticed, it's hard to compete with Nintendo in not only brand and history, but also gameplay when it comes to coming up with a good game.
What I would've done was kept Digimon Bros similar to Melee, for all the Brawl detractors. You'd get a really dedicated fanbase

However, it really looked like they were trying to outbrawl Brawl. Not only with three dimensions and better graphics, but especially the Digievolve Final Smashes.
While not invincible, you're unstoppable.
There's a cool anime-ish cutscene, everytime it happens.
Not to mention, as the marketing exec notes, the strength of the Digimon Digivolve gimmick and brand marketing with that segment.
