It's not healthy to eat gullible soup every day, really.
Ah ha!
I think this is great for us, it shows that spirits can and absolutely are being added as DLC despite reports otherwise that said the character DLC was pretty much it.
Yeah, at best I'd expect Eevee for the next game, and that's IF they're not passed over for a Gen 8 Pokémon.
I think Banjo-Kazooie would bring the Star Twins from Jet Force Gemini and one of the characters from Blast Corps on account that those are actually in the game code already, hah.
All mainline Nintendo games have been getting free DLC, their CEO has been adament about keeping their games alive with free content and paid content to extend lifespans of games.
I feel like they'd bring in not just other Banjo Kazooie characters but a slew of Rare characters too... unfortunately, my rare knowledge ends with Banjo, DK, Conker, and the Battle Toads, so I can't really speak on it.
Yeah I definitely could see some more Rare spirits, the ones I had in mind were Battletoads (probably just like your idea), Conker (represented by either Fox or Villager) and Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark (as ZSS)
Definitely see those two later ones but I’m having trouble figuring out who they’d be possessing in battle.
Actually, "Star Twins" and "BlastDozer" are the names of the franchises in Japan, not the names of the characters or vehicles in the games. So what's in the code, is actually just the franchise names, perhaps even placeholder folders for when and if individual Spirits from those franchises get added in.
? (Iggy)
Well yeah, they’d likely just appear on the Spirit Board
Kind of like how Jigglypuff, Toon Link, and Wolf were not involved with the story in Subspace Emissary, but you find them in hidden rooms and fight them so they could join your party.
While I doubt it's likely, I would love a brief side story/extra map for WoL with the 5 ticket fighters + PP + New spirits/Bosses ala Hyrule Warriors. That would be ideal.
James Bond, probably not. Joanna Dark, though, would still work great for that. (We could argue ZSS for Joanna, but really Snake reflects her actual kit more accurately.)
I could see them toss in the snake from Snake Rattle 'N Roll, Sabreman and even Kuros from Wizards and Warriors.
The legal hurdles would be steep, but it would be pretty cool
Yeah, I don't think a RE character would work, because their main attacking system in their game are guns. And we know realistic guns in Smash is a no-no. They'd have to make up a big part of the moveset. Snake works because he's a close quarter's combat fighter, and on top of that he has devices such as explosives, mines, etc. I know for example Leon Kennedy has some fighting abilities in their games too, but not too iconic. And they could add a couple moves with his knife. But like... What would even be Leon's recovery?
Bayonetta's guns can get away with it because they're "magical guns" and shoot magic bullets, I think. I'm not sure about Snake's RPG or Nikita launcher, maybe those being more like military/explosive weapons are different. I assume the point of not having regular guns on kid-friendly games is so kids don't try to seek accessible civilian weapons to emulate the characters. But I don't know much about this topic.
Even the Metal Slug crew is more viable, since they have a ton of varied weapons they can use and still ditch one or two in the process, and some of those aren't remotely realistic to begin with. Not to mention that Metal Slug's presentation is cartoonish.
Another thing helping Bayonetta's case: any kid dumb enough to try to use their feet to fire a gun is not going to be kept away from catastrophic misadventures by anything short of a straightjacket.
Can we get a little more context for this?
Basically, if I understand correctly, he's saying that a character that boomers will like and zoomers wouldn't care about has been included. A character that older fans will appreciate to see them come back, and be encouraged to return to Smash for the character in question. Also, the character isn't too actively wanted.
Ahh gotcha, cool. Is this like an insider or someone who would actually know that type of info? I thought the latest word was that nobody really has inside info about the dlc
Very few reliable people know what's going on, and those who are part of
PolarPanda
's circle (including
Fatmanonice
) are in the know and have a trust agreement set up. 
Have they said it’s not Geno or Banjo? Those are the only two that come to my mindVery few reliable people know what's going on, and those who are part of
I can say that nobody's able to guess who it is so far.
They haven't confirmed or denied. At the moment, everyone's asking specific questions to Fatman regarding the character (is their franchise active, do they have a support thread that didn't get much activity, etc) to try and narrow it down without compromising him.
So no one really knows for sure what the Minecraft content entails. Now someone is outright asking him if he thinks Steve is in.
I've heard Geno from my NoA contact, but he's only heard Geno as an office rumor, not full on confirmation. That's why I'm hesitant to say Geno is definitely DLC, but I feel like he has a good shot for that reason.
