Here is something I want to say: About Geno from Super Mario RPG, I still want him for Smash Bros. as a playable, but I don’t see why people would like him, just like how you don’t see it if I recall. In fact, I don’t think Geno developed as a character in the one game he appeared in that much, nor is his lore much developed like the higher authority he serves. He is, if I see it correctly, not much outside of his goal of fixing the Star Road and such, and even if he looks cool or does cool things or has a cool character concept, I feel his fans are calling him cool like how one judges by the book of a cover.
I don’t mind a new Mario character, but others do, and I don’t blame them. Also, Geno seems like a “just there” character, if you know what I mean, as a character in the game he was in and as a Square Enix character, especially compared to other characters from the same company. Plus, given that the game Geno is from is basically a Mario game, I don’t think he and other characters exclusive to the game were meant to have more Square Enix character development, especially since it is Mario’s world here. Not that Mario characters are lame and uninteresting, (Luigi is one who says hi here) I am just trying to make a point.
So, what do you all think of this?
