    Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

    I don't know if the group thing has any basis but we know from the datamines that Plant, Joker, and Hero all had data in the game at launch, so this idea of them working on 3 characters at once has some ground to stand on. You could argue stuff has changed for Pass 2 but we really can't have a...

    Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

    This is me, except that after two years people still aren't convinced Nintendo is picking the DLC characters instead of Sakurai. Like... he's said it a good twenty times by now... "Well actually Sakurai is picking from a list!" No... there's not a single thing he's said that implies a list in...

    Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

    Why not. Top 5 Most Wanted For Ultimate : :ulthero3::ultbanjokazooie: Very Cool : :ult_terry::ultsteve: Meh, but at least it's a new franchise : :ultminmin Why are you here? ::ultjoker: Why are YOU here?, except the rest of your pack should have been base game : :ultsephiroth: Bleh ...

    Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

    I'm a complete lunatic who thinks we aren't getting a single JRPG character for the rest of the pass, unless Monster Hunter counts, and I still think it's a complete toss-up with Dante on the Capcom front regardless. I have a bad feeling Lloyd is next on the Mii Costume chopping block, we would...

    Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

    That's fair but it was also at a time when Sakurai was still making the decisions on characters. Nintendo wouldn't have decided to step in and direct the course of the DLC if they didn't think it would benefit them.

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    Ok as someone who completely disagrees with basically everything in the twitter thread, this post is just kinda factually wrong. Like, completely. King K. Rool wasn't a one time villain, he's literally the main villain of the DKC Trilogy and 64, he just changes personas each game because that's...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    So it’s been a few days, and most of the clowns have left, so now is as good of a time as any to actually lay out my full thoughts on the matter. Geno is, once again, a mii costume. At least for the time being, it seems like the past five years of support since the original costume, and the 10+...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    Who said I was giving up on Geno or Super Mario RPG IN GENERAL? Yeah, I think Smash Ultimate is a dead end at this point, I'll say it, but Smash was always just one option, a very lucrative, vindicating option (and personally the only one I actually think is super plausible), but still just one...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    I don't know, I was just hoping the thread would come to a consensus on this, but apparently I'm a quitter for taking the situation at face value for the time being, because nothing substantial actually points otherwise.

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    Oh, it's obviously very profitable, I'm just comparing it to other Nintendo games.

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    That's fair, but you could also argue Smash costs more since not only are you paying for the development, but also licensing, and multi-million dollar CG trailers. Either way, I guess I should make clear my argument isn't that characters like Geno, Travis or Leon can't be playable because they...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    Nintendo has a very consistent history of dropping support for extremely popular games, even when the demand is obviously there. Just look at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or Splatoon 2. Frankly Nintendo, in yet another example of their more traditional, conservative approach compared to most other...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    You know what this feels like to me? Goalpost moving and bargaining, based on the ASSUMPTION we're getting a Pass 3. An assumption that, in my eyes, doesn't have enough evidence to support it. We're halfway through Pass 2 at this point, and Sakurai has made it remarkably clear that Pass 2 is the...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    The argument falls flat when Sakurai has made it extremely clear on multiple occasions that Pass 2 is it, they have no plans after this and he's done with Smash after working on it for 8+ years for a long time. If this was the costume coming back with Hero, then fine, I'd be open to this line of...

    Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

    Yeah. and doesn't that kinda imply, you know, NOT Geno? I feel like we've been working on the assumption the entire time that while base-game stuff doesn't reaaally matter, and Min-Min is proof of that, DLC Spirits and Costumes are a lot more concrete in terms of what they're doing. They...
