Sorry I wasn't around back then so i didn't know. How popular of a choice were they? I just mean i don't think they had a camp on Inkling, Simon, Ridley, or K Rool's Level. Duck Hint doesn't strike me as a fan favorite request. For the record i like Smash's oddball character choices, just so far Ultimate hasn't had one and i don't know if it will have one.
They weren't *especially* popular, but they did have fans, and they are an undeniably iconic part of Nintendo history.
If Banjo gets in, definitely would request a Yooka AT to come along with it.
Not sure if it happened twice. I only just noticed it myself recently.
In terms of retro requests they were up there for sure. Retros are kind of weird though because there are so many fans kinda spread out on who they want.
I doubt DLC is even thought about until the game goes gold. Which will not be until the end of October.
Why moving Glowbos over stationary Mumbo Tokens?
That's what I meant, No doubt he's focusing on finishing the game and based on the way he's done it with past Smash games the base roster has already been finalized, but I'm sure he's also thinking of potential DLC newcomers for the future on the back of his mind or once the game finishes he will shift his focus towards the ballot once again for the remaining most wanted that didn't make the base roster or look towards the current landscape in fan demand, which I assume is not that different from 2015's ballot.
Even Banjo is pissed off about it.
I actually like it and would like to see the full thing.. fake or not it's pretty nice! The amount of work people go through for fake leaks is too much..
I was such a big Duck Hunt fan, that I still keep the support picture I drew for him in my signature here... Duck Hunt was the last remaining Nintendo icon from the NES era that wasn't playable in Smash Bros., and so that's why I was a huge supporter of him getting in.
This makes me sad =( Banjo is love, duck hunt is meh. And I say that as someone who played it when it was recent.
Same bro. Duck Hunt is one of my favorite additions to Smash and is incredibly fun to play as in Smash 4.
Well, I mean, Duck Hunt was my first ever video game. It means a lot to me. Also, I find the dog hilarious, and the laugh is the greatest taunt in the series. Man, it really rubs salt in the wound! Love everything about the character.
It's weird to think that it has only been 3 weeks - and what makes the wait for information or a direct even more agonising is that we know it will be all new content. This isn't like the Smash 4 days, where we are waiting to see if any of our mains have been cut.
To be honest, I'm not concerned so much about the Western third party issue. I feel like all the barriers that have been set up for third parties previously just don't exist anymore. I mean, we have 9 third party characters from 5 or 6 different companies - so many that you can have an 8-player smash with no repeated characters and no nintendo characters. If you have a 70+ roster, that's nearly a whole 7th of your roster filled by non-nintendo characters. Plus, mii costumes from other series such as Tales, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Monster Hunter (+ Stage), and assist trophies like Shovel Knight as you said. And to be honest, I don't buy that these are all the stages in the game. I feel like this is the same as when Sakurai said 'don't expect too many new characters', and proceeded to reveal Ridley + 5 others. Granted, I don't expect any new stages for characters from existing series.
The reason I mention B&K being a solely Western owned character, despite criticizing that argument before, is that a friend mentioned the logistics are more complicated--when it comes to meeting with Western developers to negotiate a character. It's not necessarily that Sakurai has a bias against Western characters, as I mentioned those barriers are breaking, especially with Shovel Knight, a fully playable Western-owned character would still probably be more difficult. Also, I try very hard not to put my thoughts into Sakurai's, and there is a chance that he may not see B&K as special as we do. It gives me hope that they were considered in Melee, and we're seeing scrapped ideas from Melee coming back. I shouldn't have said, though, that it was the biggest hurdle--I agree that Nintendo would be, though I've come around to the idea that Sakurai's clout is big, and if he wanted to work with Microsoft, Nintendo would probably allow it. 14 weeks...
I didn't think about the logistics to be fair, I was more thinking about the clout of western requests vs japanese requests. The amount of work involved in getting somebody else's IP into your game must be hard work without adding a language barrier/differing policies and legalities between countries. I think the fact that he was considered for Melee gives him a good chance, too.
I'd be fine with a stage or an assist trophy if it meant that the main attraction was Banjo, or if it increased speculation for Banjo - but given the choice between 'Steve' and Banjo? It's a no-brainer for me
I'd be shocked if it wasn't something like a Creeper assist trophy first and foremost, if not, a stage or a mii costume or something.
i don't really like minecraft,their community is full of kids,the gameplay is not interessting and steve would steal the chance of banjo
As long as the outcome isn't a disappointing "it's just Minecraft", which would be puzzling. Also, because I would rather play Dragon Quest Builders than Minecraft.
Man, people just forget that Balloon Fighter exists don't they lol
In all honesty Minecraft is the 2nd highest selling game of all time, it has every right to be on Smash in some form. It's just that the way the game is, and the fact there are no actual characters in it would make it inappropriate to have one in the game. In a perfect world it'd be a stage that has the character skin build around you.
It's not like I believe LoZ given his spotty recent history, but if he's actually right, there's a very good chance here for us. He mentions Minecraft *representation*, but also a hugely popular Microsoft 3rd party, but doesn't actually know which one it is.
Sakurai would never put a character with a realistic gun into Smash
Just do add onto this, Phil Spencers been to Japan many times in 2016, 17 and 18. https://www.dualshockers.com/phil-spencer-japanese-developers-next-xbox/
And, since we know Sakurai is inclined to look at ballot popularity as at least one major deciding factor for this game, that's something Banjo has over Steve on literally every metric we've ever seen.
To my knowledge. Loz didn't want to associate with his username anymore since he got overwhelmed by all the questions people were pestering him with. Just typing it backwards wouldn't change much at all and it reeks of a phony. This also says that, "sources still strongly imply that Isabelle is in", where last we heard, he was doubting Isabelle's playability and had no info on her.
