Squeenix isn't much better. Only reason Konami's suddenly a target right now is because of recent developments.

You're using anecdotal evidence. Once again: Argumentum ad Populum. For all we know, the top five ballot choices are nowhere near as popular as they're made out to be on websites that reflect very small portions of the overall Smash Bros. userbase. And no one here is Sakurai, or is someone...

Also going to throw this in, concerning the risk vs. reward argument being brought up about choosing the "right" DLCs: It's not unprecedented for a fighter dev team to spend time, resources, and advertisement on a character DLC when they had no assurance that the character would sell and/or the...

But does Touhou really have a primary, central protagonist? Doesn't seem to be the kind of genre that would have one. There's a reason I make the argument that there's no real "Icon" to choose from Final Fantasy whenever people discuss Square Enix reps; I think the same concept might apply here.

It's hardly surprising that Shovel Knight took off in popularity when it's an homage to classic gaming in an era where most mainstream developers now prefer style over substance. But anyway; if Shovel Knight doesn't make it in, it'll either be because he didn't have enough of a presence on the...

Yes, because "KI bias".

Pretty much sounds like someone passing off personal guesswork as either a prediction or a fake leak.

< Is one of the few gamers that played/remembers Jill of the Jungle. At least, I assume it was a pretty unknown DOS game. Epic Megagames wasn't that famous at the time.

You should at least go ahead and do this; you can pick up Risky's Revenge from almost any service (that I'm aware of) at an extremely low price, little more than pocket change and it's well-worth it. It's a smaller, shorter game, but it serves as the perfect introduction to the series.

I'd want to hope for Kirby Air Ride being offered on Gamecube VC, but I get this sad feeling that neither Nintendo nor Hal acknowledge the game's existence.

(Not mine)

It's just an opinion, but I think people might be jumping the gun on Inklings. Though I'm not saying whether or not they're likely to be picked. But, unless he really is the Mary Sue of indie characters, I really can't imagine Shovel Knight being chosen when one of the "rules" Sakurai talked...

Well, what kind of makes me sick is the fact that, in a way, the ballot was (supposedly) a gift from Iwata himself to the fans. And instead of being thankful for an unprecedented opportunity for the Smash series, people just chose to fight over it the moment after the ballot opened. No good deed...

Wasn't there... well, one micro-Direct that came up unannounced one time? Just going off of something I might have heard about; don't know first-hand.

This ballot (and tying in with it, the introduction of DLC to the series) has caused far more harm than good to the community. I swear. But I had a question: Am I correct in assuming there's no way to link an image directly from Miiverse?
