New one, Hyrule Castle: http://www.thetanooki.com/2014/12/22/custom-amiibo-display-modeled-after-hyrule-castle-from-super-smash-bros/ Other than our friend, I really haven't seen many other custom amiibo displays, at least none nearly as elaborate.

I don't know that that's entirely comparable. Bomberman was essentially the face of Hudson before they were bought by Konami. A more accurate comparison would be if we were pushing for Lara Croft's inclusion, even though Eidos was bought by Square Enix and anything Final Fantasy would be the...

While I don't plan on making anything so bulky, there's just something about handmade models that makes a project like this so appealing. Perhaps something like the platform used to display the Trophy Horde in-game might be an alternate option?

So I initially intended to keep many amiibo in their boxes (except for the ones I want to actually use) in my collection, but they're already taking up so much space that I've started considering opening them and making a custom display. But then a friend of my site's news editor went and made...

Maylene. Or better yet, Officer Jenny. I'd love to see a human rep fighting in Smash withOUT the use of Pokemon (except for maybe in their Final Smash), and both of them are physically skilled (or are assumed to be). Alas, I think a human rep from Pokemon is extremely low on the priority list.

I feel like Konami would have no problem letting Nintendo use Bomberman and then reap the royalties from it -- it's not like they're making money off Bomberman at the moment. But I'm inclined to think if any Konami character is included, Konami will insist on or at least push for a character...

Yes. Couldn't link before since I didn't have enough posts, but: https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/508455733176717312 According to Zipzo, it wasn't the same location as him, though. Oh, well.

Is Sakurai watching you? ;) (from his Twitter)

Maybe not *once* the games are released. I imagine the next game will take a minimum of 5 years to release, assuming Nintendo cuts their losses and rushes the Wii U's successor. But more than likely, 6-8 years. So maybe wait a few years, and then start a coordinated fan campaign, right before...

"Literally impossible" is still closer to the reality than a vague "highly unlikely," given that Rare and its IPs are 100% wholly owned by Microsoft. Granted, it's been nearly seven years since the previous Smash Bros. title, it might be seven more until the next one. One might have said the...

Interesting ideas. Does she need to physically get on board for all of that, though? I feel like that'd limit her movement on the various stages. It'd be like if Captain Falcon had to get in a car every time you pressed "B"... So I think maybe if her specials were ice attacks of some sort, maybe...

I was JUST thinking about these two games, and how we haven't had games in at least a decade, and how they'd make great stages for Smash Bros. (like Port Town Aero Dive, but snow/trees/rocks/buildings being stage hazards, and racers speeding by)! Did a search on here, and I didn't even think to...

Prior to the reveal, everyone was saying it'd be Shulk, can't believe I bought into that, but that's who I was expecting. But I had just posted on my Twitter hours before that I was hoping for Bomberman the most, then Lucina or Chrom (in that order), and Shulk I'd be okay with. Mostly because...

I agree with 8-peacock-8 in that he'd be a trapper, but to me that says Speedster and Trickster with a bit of Ranger. He could throw bombs, yes, but his strength is in running over to you, planting a bomb or two or five, and then running away before they detonate. You're not going to want to...

Rayman's already got a foot in the door, so I wouldn't consider him impossible for future Smash games. But he's still on my wish list. From Disney? Mickey Mouse needs to be in the game. Along similar lines, Bugs Bunny from Warner Bros. They've made Looney Tunes games for Nintendo before, right...
