Honestly, this is a great reminder of how many wonderful candidates there still are for Nintendo characters for Smash. I voted for like a dozen characters (Isaac first among them of course), and that list still left out some quality choices like an Octoling echo, the Breath of the Wild...

I've got my Golden Sun shirt from GDQ on just in case. Whoever we end up getting today, I just hope it's a fun character that is a strong send-off for the craziest Smash Bros yet, quite possibly ever!

Without getting into the weeds about possibilities for a DLC character that may well be confirmed three hours from now, there are plenty of other reasonable arguments out there for both third-party and first-party characters that I can't in good faith assume a spirited- and assist...

My expectations are firmly in check for this Direct, given we have almost no reason to believe Isaac will be our final Ultimate DLC and that it's way too soon after Mario Golf to expect any other Golden Sun news. Still, it'll be somewhat comforting to bring this Smash's speculation to a close...

Got my Lost Age shirt from SGDQ! Now they just need to have a Dark Dawn run at AGDQ 2022 so the Yetee has an excuse to make another design...

They had Golden Sun at AGDQ, and The Lost Age now at SGDQ. Nice of The Yetee to give us special shirts for both occasions. (Personally, I'm excited to add a third GS shirt to my collection!)

After today's Mii Fighter deconfirmation blitz, I'm increasingly thinking Isaac is going to stay a Mii Fighter this go-around. The upgrade's not impossible, of course, if a new Golden Sun is closer than expected, but seeing the latest four fan-favorites relegated to costume status, I'm...

Genuine curiosity: now that we're down to our last character in Ultimate, does anyone here think it will be Isaac? Unfortunately any optimism I had earlier in FP2 is long gone, but with how much this last Direct felt like a revival of Gamecube/GBA-era Nintendo, it's also an oddly hopeful moment...

I mean, coming from the more traditional fighting game community, these crossovers with the major fighting game franchises are a big deal. My local FGC group is exploding with excitement over Kazuya, just as they did for Terry in FP1, and given Bandai Namco's involvement with Ultimate, Tekken...

I was literally cheering when the Advance Wars trailer started. Great news both as a Wars fan and as someone hoping for a Golden Sun revival. Going to make a point of pre-ordering tonight to put my money where my mouth is.

Kind of wild to think today might be the final character announcements for Smash. As unlikely as Isaac and Golden Sun feel, I still massively appreciate all the love everyone has shown here for the franchise, and, worst comes to worst, we could always play some Mii Swordfighter matches online...

I haven't been around this site for a little while, but I had to come back here and make sure y'all saw this shirt. So good!

I mean, I get it. Mother 3 still not having an official international release is ridiculous, and I can't blame fans for wanting a new game in a beloved series even if the creators aren't interested. Wanting something doesn't have to be rational: I'd still like to see a new F-Zero, for...

My three favorite dormant Nintendo franchises are Golden Sun, F-Zero, and Advance Wars. Can't wait to see Mother win by topping all three of them in a row. 🙃

Regardless of who the final two characters are, it's just a bummer to think this is it for Ultimate. I get Sakurai and crew not wanting to work on the same game forever, and I'm sure Nintendo stands to make more money from a new game than more DLC. Still, the selfish part of me wants to see...
