You want me to be honest?
I think that we have plenty Kirby content as of right now, even if it isn't what we wanted. Go look at other franchises such as Earthbound, Donkey Kong, and Metroid. Earthbound got it's only other representative cut, Donkey Kong barely has any content in the game at all, whether characters, stages, items, Smash Run enemies, etc. and Metroid is pretty much on the same boat as Donkey Kong. However, we have THREE CHARACTERS, TONS OF SMASH RUN ENEMIES, ACTUAL KIRBY ITEMS, A KIRBY STAGE THAT ISN'T JUST A RETURNING MELEE STAGE, AND TWO ASSIST TROPHIES. I'm sorry to anybody who thought we're going to be showered in Sakurai's bias. Sakurai's latest title is Kid Icarus, so of course he's more attached to that series. He also tries to be modest, even though he's really bad at it.
We have tons of Kirby content and some of you guys are being really entitled, acting like we're getting no Kirby content at all. Of course we haven't gotten much newer Kirby content, but to be honest, I'm not really sure what you guys expect from newer Kirby games other than a couple items and Bandana Dee. None of the newer enemies from the latest Kirby games are iconic enough to be in Smash Run, many of the newer Kirby items such as the Cracker Launcher wouldn't be that unique, and we don't even have proof that a new Kirby stage isn't in the Wii U version.
After Kirby: Fighters Deluxe, a lot of potential went into Kirby representation, but none of it could really fit that well. Gordo's could be an item, but they're already a Smash Run enemy. Bomber could be an item, but, quite frankly, we have too much "explosive" items. Invincibility Candy is pretty much replaced by Star Man, and we're not going to have City Trial boxes fall out of the sky to give us some items or something. No proof has been given that Kirby isn't getting a newer stage, as not all Wii U stages have been revealed. The 3DS is supposed to have stages from different handheld games - Kirby: Triple Deluxe was being developed too far into Smash Bros. development, so they probably didn't have any time to get information and add everything in. Kirby: Triple Deluxe is really the only newer Kirby game that could have had a stage on the 3DS Smash Bros, because I doubt Squeak Squad is popular enough to warrant a whole new stage. The only Kirby 3DS stages I expected were from Dream Land, Dream Land 2, or Kirby and The Amazing Mirror. We got Kirby's Dream Land, from THE FIRST KIRBY GAME. HOW ARE YOU NOT ****ING HAPPY ABOUT THAT? We also got A WHOLE NEW ASSIST TROPHY, WHICH IS ****ING NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE IS ****ING AWESOME! Did you guys really expect us to get something such as Queen Sectonia or Taranza as an assist trophy? I have no idea what you guys expected from newer Kirby games, mostly when nothing really warrants to be in the game. The only thing I can see from newer Kirby games is Bandana Dee, Magolor, and a newer Kirby stage on the Wii U.
This needs to stop. Just because Bandana Dee isn't in the initial roster doesn't mean Sakurai "is a biased idiot". Also, so what if he is? I'm sorry, but all of you guys would be just as biased. I'm not going to listen to all the replies talking about "how you'll be the greatest director of all time, giving each franchise perfect balance of reps", because you won't. He's the one who made Kirby, he's the one who made Smash Bros. I think he deserves to put in what he believes is best. None of us even COMPARE to how legendary of a game designer Sakurai is! Who made our beloved Kirby franchise? Hmm? OH YEAH, IT WAS SAKURAI.
Please, just stop.
