I certainly hope the pace continues, though I worry things might get a bit drier if some of the NSO releases were either going to be tied to games on Switch 2 (perhaps DK64 and DKR), or there was to be a whole new system added with that console. Not that there isn't still stuff to add -...

If Nintendo would otherwise add Chief in the first wave, or second (if this next game gets more than two), or basically any wave other than the last, they're not going to reschedule him all the way at the end simply for the sake of a tagline. There are so many more important factors than people...

Yeah but we already have Luigi

That's not how it works at all. Ports will almost never sell as well as new titles unless there's a massive disparity in the install bases of the systems. Wherever you're getting this conclusions from... they're not correct. I mean it also seems like you're just assuming the mindsets of the...

There's nothing less cool than loving fun What are you, not between the ages of 13 and 17

Eh, Terry is fine, but he uses his belt as a belt. Iori has a completely impractical use of belt, which is the immediate metric for cool

Raven Beak is cool. Coolness doesn't get characters included. I mean I'm sure Sakurai would've loved to have added Iori over Terry. But coolness can lead to popularity within the fanbase. And that demand can get characters included. So start getting behind Raven Beak and then maybe he'll be...

...they're not releasing on the same platform. People will want Smash on the new system, it's a huge killer app. Plus if it releases, let's say, 2026, that's eight years between the releases. That's a very sizeable gap. Sure there was DLC, but DLC extending years after release is commonplace...

It's not timing that kept Ghirahim out, it's the exact situation Raven Beak is in now. Being a one-off b-tier in a bigger series. Timing was actually very much on Ghirahim's side, that game came out in 2011, 4's roster was chosen in 2012. But between the two, the series that is going to break...

Who said they were Skull Kid and Midna to whom I was referring? I'm speaking of general popularity (I refer to the Zelda options as "generally more popular/general popularity" each time), not inherently fanbase popularity (i.e. not listing Skull Kid, Midna, etc. under the "more requested...

Comparing Raven Beak to protagonists and major recurring characters aren't "nitpicks", they're why he doesn't fit your examples. I agree with this - but it's not going to go Mario -> Metroid. Just as Smash takes from the biggest (feasible, active) Nintendo IPs available and roughly works its...

I don't think they're saving any first-party newcomers for DLC, unless they couldn't get them finished in time. Saving first-parties for DLC isn't really a thing. I think the first-parties that will be DLC are going to be promotional and cut vets they bring back. But promotional characters would...

I think RFT is still a pretty obvious character. I don't think after 15 mil Nintendo is gonna shelve the property. Even if those numbers are in part thanks to the pandemic.

I'm keeping this one included so you can see I'm not bull****ting We could also always use more villains Too ****ing slow over here lol :sonic:

**** you I had basically this exact post ready to fire then saw there was a new page dammit lol xD
