Not really. I mean, considering that Bamco is more than willing to aid Sora and Nintendo with Smash, and Sakurai doesn't seem like he'd be overly concerned about petty things like that. Meanwhile Monster Rancher has become irrelevant these days, smh.
Not to mention WarGreymon as the ideal FS.
A Western audience would absolutely recognize Digimon over Taiko no Tatsujin, but Taiko is a huge thing in Japan. In all of the arcades I went to in Japan there were Taiko cabinets, and Don-Chan has even appeared in the Arcade version of Mario Kart as a playable character. It's a rhythm drumming game and has recently has stateside localized releases too, so it shouldn't be completely unknown to the Western audience. I would completely agree that a Taiko choice would cater more to the Japanese audience though.
Source for this?! Cuz that's incredible. I'm SOOOOO excited for Fall now.
Can't remember the timecode, but it's in here somewhere:
No, that's freaking perfect! As nice as the Spiral Mountain remix is, it is a little underwhelming if that's the only remix we'd be getting, so I'm very excited to hear this. I wouldn't expect there to be too much music for each of the DLC characters, but as long as we get some great choices from the games, I'll be content. Heck, bringing some of Nuts n' Bolt's orchestrations would be fine! The Grunty Challenge theme would fit perfectly and be a fine Gruntilda's Lair remix in and of itself. Thanks for the good news! :D
Eeh, while it did start as a Tamagatchi-style game, I honestly remember it more for the various anime series about it, so Agumon feels more like an anime character to me.
Holy ****, I was talking about that Asterix scene just yesterday.
As an FF7 fan, my expectations are rock bottom to begin with. But yeah, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are run by two different departments.
The issue is less Square and more Sugiyama is notoriously difficult to work with over his music.
If I recall, it's because the rights for things FF-related are all over the place, just like Dragon Quest. Apparently the rights for individual parts of older SE games being dilluted is a thing - though unlike DQ, I can't find much about the process with FF stuff.
Yeah, I expected even before Grant's comments on other re-mixes that they would be going all out (as much as they can on a DLC budget) on the music--a) Music is a fundamental aspect of the games, b) they went out of their way to contract the original composer to do the re-mix, something they rarely do, and for the first time working with a Western composer, and c) Microsoft has been easy to work with, and may have allowed for a generous arrangement to making it the best they possibly can. That being said, I am trying to temper my expectations. I would love it if all the stage tracks from BK and all the boss tracks from BT were in, and in doing so, would still be much less than Castlevania--but it is DLC, they are likely working on a much smaller budget, and even with a generous deal, music licensing is not cheap. But Grant doing a re-mix alone fills me with so much joy and respect already, and it's already surpassed my expectations, so I'm fine with whatever direction they go.
Yeah, I read something about that, too. Knowing how Square manages its properties, that's entirely possible, lol.
Not that this is to say this would give them huge reach, but for any people in America who have played the translated version of Yokai Watch 2, there's a good chance that they'd recognize Don-Chan now as he guest starred as a Yokai in that game, and as such is technically counted in any future installments.
The only final smash I want to see is SkullGreymon.
Sadly, no, we've heard nothing about the beloved backpacking bear and bird's inclusion in Smash. It seems like we'll never get confirmation of them making a return to the video game spotlight after years of them wallowing in forced retirement and obscurity. Oh! WAITAMINUTE. That was me being a sad sack a few weeks ago! How the times and moods have changed! Sadly we haven't heard anything new, but after years of waiting and hoping, I can sit back and relax and in just a few months, we'll finally FINALLY have our favorite video game characters back where they belong amongst old friends.
The page for Banjo & Kazooie is still not on the website, probably won't be until Hero's released, and that's where you can get the official render without a background, which is necessary for the Post Your Roster feature. There have been fan versions, which takes the official one on Twitter with the white background and removes it, but it's probably best to wait to use the official one with transparent background.
At least 50/50. On one hand, there isn't multiple characters to share palette slots with. On the other hand, the omission of shaman transformations might be extensive.
I'd give it low odds, so that if it doesn't happen, I'm not disappointed. Alts are still highly character dependent, despite some characters who'd have perfect alts but are still bland (i.e., Sonic), but DLC characters have been getting some good alts. At the very least, we will get a green Kazooie, if not Dragon Kazooie. I just wonder if it violates Sakurai's policy (not sure if it's a true one, or one of those unsubstantiated claims) of not having alts with powers the characters don't have--which is why a Fire Flower alt is good for Mario, but not a Tanooki suit, since Mario can't flutter.
That's awesome, it took me around 6 hours to beat Kazooie a few weeks ago and another ~25 mins to wrap up Stop n Swop and Bottles Puzzles.
Wow, that proof of concept already looks better than that Banjo-Kazooie interactive demo shared above.
That's... uh... that has a lot of... well, I don't know what exactly, but there's a lot of it.
My faovurite worlds are
