Namco-Bandai has joined the team. Could this help to get more 3rd party characters?

[Carlo_H.Luz]

Namco Bandai has just joined Masahiro Sakurai's Super Smash Bros. 4. This means that Nintendo is having a good relationship with Namco Bandai. But indeed Namco Bandai have excellent relationships with Capcom and Sega (Project X Zone). This fact opens the door for much more third party characters in Super Smash Bros 4. Adding more third party characters is now even more important because Sony's new game: Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale features third party characters too. Nintendo have to take that in consideration. Sakurai has already stated that SSB4 wont have tons of playable characters because balancing is hard but i would appreciate if they make DLC periodically. This is my WISHlist:

NINTENDO:
-Krystal (Star Fox)
-Mewtwo (Pokemon)
-King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)
-Midna on Wolf Link (The Legend Of Zelda)
-Dark Samus (Metroid)

-Non-Specific Action Figure (Miiverse Trailer)

No it won't get more third-party in Smash. Snake got in by a personal request and Sonic by fan demand. Namco Bandai is not going to get a rep by working with Nintendo. If they want one, they need to either push for one or hope that one is popular enough so that Sakurai will request a third party from them. I seriously doubt bias will play a major role since the Japanese are moderate and I don't think any rep will be popular enough for Sakurai to go ahead and add one.

First: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=324267

Second: Don't make wishlists in the Character Thread. Save that on a normal Smash 4 discussion topic

Third: You have WAY to many characters you want as well as your expectations are EXTREMELY absurd, unrealistic, and will result in SEVERE disappointment and this all FROM ONLY FOUR COMPANIES. We are NEVER EVER going to get THAT many third party characters.

Especially with a list like this.

 

[kisamefishfries]

NINTENDO:
-Krystal (Star Fox)
Star Fox does not need a 4th rep... especially from such a minor character
-Mewtwo (Pokemon)
Probably not
-King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)
-Midna on Wolf Link (The Legend Of Zelda)
Midna's ship has sailed, don't be surprised if we never see her again.
-Dark Samus (Metroid)
-Master Hand (Super Smash Bros.)
As a playable character? No
-Non-Specific Action Figure (Miiverse Trailer)
Im neither for or against this one.

DLC NINTENDO:
-Waluigi (Mario Bros.)
He has some shot, but not a big one. Don't expect him
-Daisy (Mario Bros.)
No, peach is already a terrible character, we don't need a second.
-Rosalina (Mario Bros.)
same as Daisy. She has hardly any appearances and there are more deserving characters
-Wart (Mario Bros.)
How many games was he even in? 1? 2?
-Dr. Mario (Dr. Mario)
as an alt skin maybe
-Andross (Star Fox)
No shot whatsoever.
-Funky Kong (Donkey Kong)
alt skin?
-Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong)
I don't see why people want Dixie Kong...
-Little Mac (Punch Out!!)
I would love to see little mac.
-Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)
As DLC? No, he sould be on the main roster
-Aeron (Pandora's Tower)
Is NA even getting this game? A character never released in Na would never make the roster
-Zael (The Last Story)
No, Shulk has a chance because of Xenoblade popularity.
-Smithy (Super Mario RPG)
A one time appearance charcter in a almost 20 year old game should be in? No.
-Isaac (Golden Sun)
Like Shulk, should not be DLC
-Anthony Higgs (Metroid)
I don't even know who that is.
-Skull Kid (The Legend Of Zelda)
This I can see being a DLC character.
-Deoxys (Pokemon)
Absolutely 100% no.

Jesus Christ, even your nintendo wishlist is over the top....
Also how could you not include a single character from the Tales series?

This is better posted inthe social roster discussion thread or thr impossible character thread.

It doesn't deserve it's own...
