I'm very old school in my Smash wants, so I think
would be my choice if we ever got a third playable Capcom character. He has arcade, NES, and SNES cred, and Sir Arthur has a move set that's seemingly made for Smash. Also, I'd really love to see him and Simon Belmont in the same game at some point.
I'm surprised I don't see these two mentioned more frequently as well.
Also, if we are talking about GIANT Capcom franchises that are important to Nintendo, than you are talking about Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter has been exclusive to Nintendo for a while, and look at this list of Capcom's top 5 best selling franchises
- Resident Evil - 61 million units.
- Street Fighter - 35 million units.
- Megaman - 30 million units.
- Monster Hunter - 28 million units.
- Devil May Cry - 13 million units.
(These are actual capcom financial numbers)
Those first three franchises have a hell of a head start on Monster Hunter as well.
I highly doubt we will see a third Capcom rep anytime soon, but I thought this was relevant to the conversation at hand.
