I hope it does, though the datamine for N64 NSO makes me think it wasn’t originally planned if it does come. I think there may be one more space for A-D, and I would think Donkey Kong 64 will eventually come if the original Banjo-Kazooie did. Also makes me concerned for Diddy Kong Racing’s...

Now that the presentation is over, I looked at the rumors—seems like they jumped the gun not knowing Xbox was only showing games for the next 12 months. Which is a ridiculous thing to gloat about—people complain about far off announcements, but when you have nothing this year, just a couple...

I was a Banjo & Kazooie main the first time I played them—unlike most characters, I was able to pick them up immediately and be good with them. That being said, I see Smash as not just a fighting game but a celebration of gaming and I can see areas of improvement. I still like the idea of their...

While I’ve heard the rumblings, once I did I’ve been off the web. Might be psyching myself up for disappointment again, though I recognize that. We’ll see. I’ve been getting more into Smash lately so I’ll probably be back on the forums tomorrow, we’ll see. A lot of things still annoy me, but I...

Got NSO primarily for Banjo-Kazooie--while I'm not a fan of Nintendo's nickel-and-diming, I want to support more Banjo-Kazooie on Nintendo. They're finally, truly, home. Got up to Freezeezy Peak last night. Surprisingly, I've found the controls much better than when I played it on Xcloud (after...

I'm in a similar way, but different. While I've moved on to Crash for speculation, I'm more content with the roster we have and would be fine if that was it (but, I also think, the more the better). Probably wouldn't be saying that if Ultimate went in a different direction, in all honesty. I...

I can't tell if I'm supposed to take Sakurai super literally, or if I'm supposed to read between the lines. I'm so conflicted, pick one! Still better than the Grinch era (I do seem to drop in at the worst times, I have to fight myself not to respond)

I think once Nintendo called Crash an icon, that stuff became water under the bridge. After all, Rare's digs at Nintendo with Nuts & Bolts didn't hurt B&K's chances (jk, Japan hasn't played it). Nintendo likes money, if they think Crash can make them money, no amount of "plumber boy" is going to...

Fine, if only I could find a context where Sakurai mentioned "celebration of gaming" in the specific context of Smash Ultimate, as a game, and not a presentation/character/in relation to a fighting game. Oh. By the way, this was just chance coming across this, I was done, but it's too funny...

Thanks for the correction! I knew that, but often mistake them, though my feelings remain the same (Bomberman is my most wanted from Konami). That being said, I do think Contra is an important game to include in Smash, though without Smash discussions, if I saw the splash screen that "Bill...

Crash: My most wanted since Banjo & Kazooie were announced, and my second most wanted during the Ultimate hype cycle. Would be great to see with icons like Mario and Sonic, and has moves made for Smash. Master Chief: Don't care for the character personally, but would be hugely impactful in the...

“It’s not a, it’s b.” and “It’s not c, it’s b” doesn’t mean it’s “it’s not b, it’s c.” This is just logic. He’s talked about Smash being a celebration of gaming, multiple times, in terms of not just being a fighting game, but also as being a part of a massive collaboration. And to avoid being...

No, he literally said that, and it was written on screen. Doesn't matter if the original discussion was about if Smash was a fighting game, "[it's become] some sort of celebration of gaming or something else entirely" is what he said. Not sure if he's talked about the distinctions between first...

And I believe Simmons commented on that and may get Hero--not sure, though, as I mainly watch Max's streams. But I can also understand it if he still doesn't buy it, even listening to his music could trigger him, and I respect that. Still, despite all of his grievances with Dragon Quest...

Simmons didn't buy Hero because the composer who--has problems (won't go into detail because I don't want a political debate), which I feel is a valid reason to not want to support putting one's personal funds in to buying a character. But even without a valid reason, people can buy whatever...
