I'm sure they will if the Nintendo Switch is going to be going online this month. Even if it's just a general direct about fall games coming out, I'm sure they'll take time to showcase a newcomer to Smash.
Yeah I just want to know the base roster already. I figure 2 more directs till then. We'll see.
While I think it's highly likely to get a Direct this month, I bet it'll be an unsurprising first party character. Most first party picks now will be unsurprising now that we got Ridley and King K Rool. Bandana Waddle Dee, Skull Kid, a Pokemon. The most surprising out of the bunch would be Isaac. The only thing that could be any indication of the rest of the roster is if it's Incineroar--and then that goes along with further confirming Verge, and therefore Minecraft/Microsoft content.
who’s the super soldier?
Master Chief from Halo. If they're gonna get access one Microsoft fighter, Banjo & Kazooie, then they should try for THE MS icon as well.
If Banjo & Kazooie manage to get in, I literally will not care who else makes it in. As long as Banjo-Kazooie get in, I will be eternally happy.as long as banjo gets in 1st then im fine with master chief & steve
Joanna would be cool as well, and I wouldn't be against her.... but between Halo and Perfect Dark there's no question. Halo has had a MUCH bigger impact on gaming and console shooters in particular. The launches of Halo 2 and 3 were the VG equivalent of Star Wars. Not on the same level.
Yeah as much as I may be for Master Chief in Smash, I deffinitely feel Banjo & Kazooie deserve to be among the first, if not THE first MS Fighter.
same for steve he is an INDI rep IMO legaly sure but in heart spriret & pricibal no
We all know how it turned out at the end about how she didn't win it and how the ballot was used for Ultimate, But it always annoyed me how they said she won it, Like her 2nd game came out exclusive to the Wii U the same year Smash Wii U came out, Don't give me that garbage that she won the ballot ,obviously there was some deal in the works to promote her and she was used as a scapegoat and she was never highly demanded,but that's all water under the bridge because I would rather have my favorite newcomers debut in Ultimate than in Wii U.
I really would love for chief to get in after Banjo would, that would be amazing, I could finally reenact the old Samus vs master chief vid lol
Japan is 1 of 3. The country of origin, so yes, important, but in both NA and EU he is quite iconic and well known, maybe enough to make up for it some. Hard to say.
I've talked about it a little in the past on this thread, yes they are popular. I won't write a giant research paper explaining why they are popular and citing a million sources, but every Japanese N64 fan i know (I'm part of a N64 dedicated forum and have lots of Japanese members and associates) says Banjo Kazooie are big there. People often say N64 isn't popular in Japan, which isn't true. Nowadays N64 is more popular in Japan than ever, nostalgia is high just like it is over here, and they love Banjo.
Thanks, Good to know they have a precense over there, If you also google or youtube search Banjo-Kazooie here in the west too, Smash Bros also pops up next to their name, which is good to see how many people want to associate them into the game, but I'm sure you already knew that.
Oh. Never played a Halo game so I genuinely didn’t know what you meant by that lol
Aren’t Little Mac and Ridley Japanese?
While Little Mac and Ridley are Japanese creations, They have much bigger appeal in the West seeing how Punch Out seems to based off Rocky which is iconic in American pop culture and Little Mac is from the Bronx, NY and Metroid and Sci-Fi in general were never really big in Japan as it is in the west, That's why for a long time Retro Studios (American developer) was in charge of the franchise.
Last I checked, they were well in the lead with only Rayman being close behind them! I'm sure if Geno was allowed on the poll, though, he'd be up there if not surpassing the bear and bird lol
Doom or GTFO.
Don't want to get cocky about it ,But 1 day in and were already leaving everyone in the dust !!! Rayman is a very distant 2nd though.
Yeah Doom is Halo's granddaddy, both played their part in making FPSes what they are today.
Acquire 100 collectibles?
That is good. So collect 100 trophies? Perhaps collect 100 music tracks, like collecting music notes in the game?
I was thinking just get 100 total of all collectibles. Like 30 Trophies, 20 Music Tracks, 10 Custom Moves (if those are still a thing) and so on and so forth until you get to 100.
I would like to see them incorporate Donkey and Diddy Kong to unlock him, like beat Classic mode at it's highest difficulty with DK and Diddy or something.
I was just thinking about that today. I've never had any interest in getting amiibo. Never understood their appeal. But thinking about the possibility of a Banjo-Kazooie amiibo? I'd have to get one. And then I'd want to get Mario, Link, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Pokemon Trainer. I don't even want to imagine what that would all cost, but B&K might be my gateway amiibo. NINTENDO AND SAKURAI, PUT BANJO & KAZOOIE IN AND TAKE ALL MY MONEY!
Same. I've read plenty of wish rosters, predictions. Any that don't have Banjo & Kazooie don't appeal to me, personally. I'm happy for the fans, but this game is truly Ultimate. Outside of Banjo & Kazooie and Crash, I can't think of any other game I've played that has the potential to be a unique newcomer. Every character returning is both a huge positive--none of my favorites have been cut. But a huge negative, because if Banjo & Kazooie aren't in, I can't imagine a likely roster where at least one unique newcomer I've played, and there's so many popular picks (Geno, Skull Kid, Isaac) that I've not heard of prior to Ultimate speculation. It's why I'm trying (and failing) to keep my expectations as low as possible, as the game is amazing as it is. But Banjo & Kazooie? It'd make the game go from awesome to perfect.
