That would be really cool, but I don't know if it's even possible since Dinosaur Planet was unfinished while Star Fox 2 was effectively done. Perhaps instead they could do a remake of sorts, combining the aspects of Dinosaur Planet and Star Fox Adventures together, like the dual protagonist...

Assault with online multiplayer would be the dream!

I figured if Sakurai acknowledged Krystal in a tweet the day of the Direct, she wouldn't be the final fighter (if she were upgraded from an AT). But now that we know the announcement is next month, I'm torturing myself with renewed hope!

I can't wait for the Encore release. It's been teased for what feels like years through these trademark filings. It's exciting that the Encore release will in-fact have two games. I wonder if they'll go with the Wii Remake or the original Door to Phantomile in addition to Lunatea's Veil. Maybe...

So the last Smash fighter could potentially be announced this month if Nintendo does their usual September Direct. While it's likely going to be a third party rep or another Fire Emblem character, one thing has kind of nagged at me... Sakurai said that it took a year to make the Orbital Gate...

Yeah it was a thing where he said that Wolf would be easy since he would be a clone/echo. For Krystal they would have to do wholly new body and animation styles. Krystal also supposedly did well on the ballot, and her AT is very advanced, indicating she was possibly intended for full playable...

He's suggested in interviews that she's meant to be a playable character since Brawl but always gets cut because of time constraints. I guess an AT was a halfway measure, but it still stings that after 3 games and 13 years, she's still a wishlist character.

There was a lot of stupid sexism towards her back in the day. Everyone dumped on her instead of looking at the mechanical and rushed production issues of the actual games themselves. She was a scapegoat. The fact that the games have sold worse since she's been gone isn't attributable to her...

Sakurai is more of a supervisor at this point. Namco does all the heavy lifting for Smash, and has since Smash 4. I'm sure Sakurai is meticulous in fine-tuning things and such, but he's not the one making the models/assets or animating everything. He's more of a manager at this point, I'd...

So with one fighter left, what do you guys think? I personally have given up hope on Krystal being upgraded to playable status in the game, though it would be cool if they did do that, and included the notably-absent Orbital Gate Assault level with her. They could just patch out the Assist...

I think Zero's lackluster reception told them that railshooters are not the path forward. It's always been a rather experimental series, so I think the "just make more SF64" crowd have been proven wrong that railshooting was the answer. Not just b/c Zero flopped, but SF643DS and Command were...

Banjo, Min-Min and Pyra/Mythra were the only reps I bought from the DLC. Then again, I'm not a fan of non-Nintendo reps in Smash (I know, sacrilege, but I just feel Smash should be Nintendo-focused).

Nintendo of America promoting the hell out of Metroid Dread also gives me hope. If a "typically dormant, not popular in Japan" franchise like Metroid can get a big push, hopefully Star Fox will too. Also hoping that if Fusion finally got a sequel after nearly 20 years, hopefully Assault/Command...

Kinda surprising that chillmix doesn't include this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuIPxOmpmc

Don't forget his obsession with Fire Emblem reps and third party anime swordfighters. Sakurai has a JRPG obsession and it's resulted in a ton of missed opportunities.
