Fighters $6 bucks each, Fighters pass is $25.
People who want to use their Switch at tournaments can use the pass to ensure their setup will be complete.
I bought it along with my copy of Smash. I don’t care whether or not I like the characters, I gotta have every available character and stage.
I already bought it. I figured that I liked the newcomers for Smash 4's DLC (with the exception of Corrin at first; I warmed up to him over time, and it helps that Ultimate expanded on franchises that had been ignored for too long, such as Metroid or Donkey Kong), so I figured that I'd more than likely enjoy the characters that we get through DLC as well.
I already bought the Fighter Pass because 1. I like having all characters, stages, and music, and 2. Sakurai straight-up said that there would be no Echo Fighters here; that means there's only going to be unique fighters, and I trust that they'll at least be fun and interesting like the Smash 4 DLC newcomers were.
I did it Day One.
It's normal amongst fighting games to have at least 2 Seasons worth of DLC (SF5, Tekken 7, DBFZ etc.), and Ultimate outsold all three of those examples by country miles. Not guaranteeing more Fighter Passes, no, but I would not rule out a very long support period (multiple Fighter Passes + a Deluxe edition for the next Nintendo console a la Mario Kart 8). Hell, Tekken 7 included Walking Dead's Negan amongst its DLC, we simply don't know what's going to be in Ultimate at this moment.
They gotta make it worth it to me. Only way I'm paying for four characters without knowing all of them is if Banjo gets announced. Otherwise, I'm picking and choosing who I buy, if any. Of course, if they all get announced without Banjo and I like at least four, well, that's a pass purchase too, albeit an extremely bittersweet one.
No Banjo, no buy for me. Unless there is a character I like, nothing else from me.
The fact that it's Smash Bros kinda sells characters themselves, no matter how lame or ridiculous a character seems. Even if we get something way out there like Jazz the Jackrabbit, Bokoblin or Adam from Metroid Other M, you'll still have people buying them either because they're good on the tier list or because they think the inclusion is funny. So they could easily make a pack of shill picks and they will still be heading to the bank. Not that I disagree with your reasoning, but Nintendo doesn't always make choices that seem logical at first (or decades later).
I'm simply waiting for a character that I really want to be confirmed before I buy. Banjo, Doomguy, Rayman, Dante, Master Chief, Hat Kid, 2B, anyone that I'm a fan of (If I played and enjoyed a game I'm usually behind fitting it's characters into Smash) could get confirmed and I'll buy it. One character is all it takes, but I'm not going in head first without any confirmations.
Me personally I am very picky when it comes to characters, I really only play the ones from franchises I play and care about, So I will wait and see what the remaining 4 fighters are before I fork over some dough and will only buy the ones that appeal to my personal taste.
Yeah, I think that was my thinking behind it. By E3, hopefully we'll be able to garner whether or not it's worth paying for.
Good idea, AND I LOVE YOU FOR ADDING A SNOWBOARD KIDS REP!!! One of my favorite video game series from the N64 days <3 Actually you have quite a few favorites of mine! Basically the top characters are the Grinch leak characters, because I was very happy with the choices and if we could rectify that disappointment in any way despite Issac being relegated to an Assist Trophy and Geno as a Spirit, that'd be terrific. Also, Spring Man really needs to upgrade into a playable character and be available with Ribbon Girl as an alt form, I can't believe they made him an Assist Trophy when he would fit in so well as a fighter. They could use the same kind of gimmick with Simon/Richter's whip to give them lengthy but laggy attacks.

Gonna just copy what I said in the Geno thread but with rearranging some numbers. The original question stated we can't upgrade assist trophies, for added context.
If they were working on a new Conker game, and that other studio was developing the new Battletoads game, and Banjo made it into Smash... maybe that would explain that cryptic New Years pic they tweeted, with the 3 of them in the clouds
Conker is something they should absolutely NEVER tackle without Chris Seavor over seeing everything. That game was his baby.
How about this. If Banjo is getting into Smash Bros, wouldn't he need a new game to really make himself relevant again? It's the dream, am I right?
It's nice to know I'm not the only one that wants to see NiGHTS in Smash.
El Donte getting in over Dante would be as bad as Nuts and Bolts Banjo & Kazooie getting instead of the classic designs imo!
Yeah, didn't feel quite right that new folks are doing Battletoads instead of them. Also, that banner is such a tease, just show Rash's newest look already.
It’s just the same art they used in Rare Replay. Battletoads was one of the only few games to recieve new art for it.
Probably because it's much simpler to do with a newly assembled team. A side-scrolling beat-em-up doesn't need as big of a team behind it as a 3-D open world platformer nowadays.
Or something completely new, since I doubt they'd leave it at Sea of Thieves being their only Phil Spencer-era Rare IP.
