Minecraft is popular in everywhere, not only Japan. It's just there are less stigma about it in there.
Let's also remember that one 4 DLC character that was a pretty huge deal was announced in a humble Direct.
We're pretty far past the point where certain characters have to be announced at certain events because of their popularity. K. Rool was thrown in there at the end of a random Smash direct.Let's also remember that one 4 DLC character that was a pretty huge deal was announced in a humble Direct.
That goes for any part of a roster, base, unlockable, DLC, what have you (as shown by 4). Heck, if there's more than one pass, I could see the pattern repeat two more times after this.
Are we sure that Sora is owned by Disney? He seems to fit stylistically with the Final Fantasy characters that are also in the game. I thought Sora was an original development of Square-Enix.
He and the other original KH characters were obviously designed by Nomura at Square-Enix, but Disney owns the rights to them I believe. It's like how Diddy, Dixie, K. Rool, Krystal, etc are owned by Nintendo even though they were created by Rare.
He was created by Square, and owned by Disney. Similar in theory to how Rare created Diddy but Nintendo always owned him.
And Joker may have been a matter of timing--if Persona does get some Switch release tie-in announcement soon, they may have had to showcase him at the VGAs. It just worked out that was a good character to show at the VGAs. But what I learned from Smash 4 and Ultimate is Sakurai doesn't save the best for last, or care about that sort of stuff. He just releases them when it suits their plans.Let's also remember that one 4 DLC character that was a pretty huge deal was announced in a humble Direct.
Whoever gets shown next is simply a matter of timing, not having a big showstopper for the sake of having one (yes, Joker was at the VGAs, but that's mostly a West-centered event).
From when I looked into it, someone from Disney said that while Disney owns KH along with Square Enix, it's ultimately up to Nomura. Now, that doesn't mean Disney couldn't present a problem--these negotiations can be quite complex. But it's not as crazy as a lot of people say. That being said, Sakurai may have chosen a DQ character regardless.
I think you’re giving Atlus way too much credit. You’re saying that Atlus now has the power to influence Nintendo and Microsoft, two of the biggest gaming companies in the industry? Sounds far fetched at best to me. I get that the supposed Jane alt might warrant waiting til Atlus properly announces what she is...
While I agree that part of the issue with new speculation is that everybody thinks that they’re character is really coming this time and they want them now... that’s not really an excuse for the overwhelming impatience I see some people express. This accelerated hype cycle for Ultimate hasn’t helped matters either.
Huh? One of those guys is from Gamecenter CX. Had nothing to do with Minecraft. Dont know the other guy. They've showcased other games like this before release, I know they did Super Mario Party also. They arent "two big Minecraft players", don't know where you got that from.
I mean, people always said the same thing about Smash Bros, but then they announced Smash Ultimate in a regular ol’ Nintendo Direct last year
You act like it’s physically impossible for Sakurai to communicate with a western studio. You act like he REFUSES to work with anyone outside of Japan. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it never will. That’s such an ignorant mentality
I agree with this post. I also would be surprised if DQ wasn't the next rep from Square Enix. Sora is a bigger name overall across all regions but DQ is the Japan favorite.
Microsoft...microsolf happened
Yeah. Especially since Microsoft is one of the biggest companies out there, I dont think it will be hard to get professional translators to communicate in a timely manner. If they managed to negotiate with Yacth Club, a small indie studio, they can definitley talk to MS.
That's not really accurate. Disney owns Sora but they always consult Square and Nomura before using Sora. It's not even that they are required to do so they just really respect Nomura and have a high standard of making sure they doing the character and series justice which people sometimes think means Nomura decides what happens. So yeah when it came to getting Sora in Smash it wouldn't be up to Nomura in any form. Disney might check to see if Square and Nomura thinks Sora in Smash is a good idea but the ones negotiating with Nintendo and Sakurai will be Disney.
That's what I was referencing, so if I said it sloppily, it's good to have a more accurate summarization.
The slide is suspicious, but I'm gonna assume it's someone else. Hoping it is tho. It would be a showstopper at e3 but that's means 2 more months of hoping and speculation. I'd rather have banjo be a possible April reveal, sit back, enjoy the rest of the dlc, and not worry about a thing.
What if. Brave is the friends we've made along the way.
My hunch is I don't think so, but the point of code names (I think) is to obfuscate, so I feel like it's anyone's guess. It would be great, though, if true. I think Brave will be revealed next.
I think it's more likely to be Erdrick myself. Though other ones could be something like Agumon or Yuri. I feel like the usage of Brave is more significant than just "a guy who goes on an adventure cause they can". Jack has 3 possibilities of how it fits to Joker, and each one actually ties well(playing cards, Jack Frost, and Jack of all Trades).
If it’s gonna be a MS rep and they have no wildcards up their sleeve, then yes. I don’t think Master Chief or Rash would fit the height, and the slide makes me believe it isn’t Steve. Keep in mind this is only in the case that it will even be a MS rep which we are still in the dark about.
Fully convinced it's Erdrick or another DQ character. All the DQ content in the last Direct settled it for me.
I still think Brave is Banjo; the stats fit him too well.
Yup, Im going by the stats alone, they fit Banjo and Kazooie too well
I think it’s Banjo, honestly. The only reason people think it’s Erdrick is because of leakers and the whole “Hero class” thing in DQ. But imo everything lines up much more for Banjo
They could, but Sakurai can give any character any stats. Like there's no particular reason Yoshi has the highest air speed, Doctor Mario having a stronger back throw than Ness, Bowser being faster than a lot of smaller characters, Mii Gunner having the worst traction, etc.
But when the slide and floatiness match Banjo perfectly, it’s hard to just write that off as a coincidence
Yes, but that is logical. Nintendo is anything but logical.
I still say its Slime
What about the codename?
