Bomberman does not have a resume as good as Mega Man. To this day, Mega Man is highly relevant in the gaming industry while Bomberman relevancy has gone down a lot, especially with the fact that Hudson no longer makes retail games and being completely relegated to handheld games.With infuane's departure megaman has also gone down in relevancy also show me the latest megaman that came out on q disk for a home console excluding remakes. Unless I missed it the last game like that was in 06. Both series started doing download games for the home consoles and handhelds. Mega Man is also more well known then Bomberman. Just compare the sales of the two series and you'll see what I mean.-_- I said he was more popular. There's also the fact that Bomberman is owned by Konami now and we have no idea whenever or not Sakurai will allow more then one third-party character from the same company and if not, I highly doubt they'll switch Snake with Bomberman, especially considering that Snake is more well known then Bomberman.
I would put money on it that bomberman was more well known than snake. And I wasnt saying that bonberman should get in over snake I was just saying there are other characters that you should consider with an open mind. If its anything I can take from this thread is that you have narrow minded fanboy mentality regarding mega man (no offense)
There are many people who were outraged with Mega Man Universe's cancellation and Mega Man's exclusion from Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and it continues to this date. The outrage over a lack of Bomberman 3DS lasted for a few weeks and then sizzled off.can I have a source for that? Also it wouldn't take a genius to know that a game that had a trailer and iirc at one point a release sate would have greater negative whiplash than a game that had none of that when it was allegedly cancelled Don't get me wrong, Bomberman would be great for SSB4, but I really doubt he'll be getting even the fourth slot.
This is what I mean, what fourth slot. You ate so sure mega man will get but show me where sakurai says this. Show me where he says sonic and snake are returning. Show me where he says he will add any more third parties for that matter. I know you support those 3 but to continually say they are guaranteed even over nontendo's own characters is too far.
Also, I don't think being a friend of Sakurai means your third-party character deserves to be in. If someone is a friend of Sakurai, works in the gaming industry, and said his favorite character is Gex, does that mean he deserves to be in?
