Seriously though, Shantae is the only new third-party character I want to see now.
Maybe Bomberman and/or Snake too, but given the recent situation with their owner...

Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon is going on Virtual Console this week. Marth DLC confirmed

Oh, that's cool... Is it coming to the US yet? I'll probably pick it up eventually just 'cuz. Probably not coming to NA yet because we still need Lost Age as well.

Coming worldwide I heard. I should beat TLA first, currently stuck anyway

At least we're getting that much. STILL WANT THE LOST AGE, NoA!

It's kinda sad that we Europeans get it and Earthbound Beginnings gets released before you guys get it. However, we Europeans finally get something first. **** yeah

Created yet another support thread since certain users were looking for one to be made. With all the Gebei Ibun Roku #FE hype going on, I figured it was time to make it now while there's enough hype. Though I know it won't happen in the end because of the same licensing issues as a certain White Witch and noobs would mistaken these guys for Fire Emblem characters.

Actually, this is probably a more accurate description:

- Nintendo's longtime rival / influenced Nintendo
- gaming icon
- face of fighting games / influenced Smash Bros
- face of arcade games / influenced Nintendo
- Kojima asked really nicely.

Kojima asking nicely doesn't disqualify what Snake is.

He's still as big a gaming icon as the rest of them, bar Pac-Man.

He shaped the stealth genre and inspired bits from other games. Even Zelda.

 

[Kenith]

Is there not a support thread for Jill Valentine or a RE character at all?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

third parties I'd like to see if possible?
Snake
Bomberman
Shantae

Shovel Knight
Bayonetta

This WOULD have been Geno, but annoyances made it Nightmare

Not really, but a general one for Resident Evil reps in general exists (despite being locked to this day).

Did Metal Gear really inspire Wind Waker? It's a reasonable conclusion but has it ever been said?

Not officially but I look at Forsaken Fortress and can only see Metal Gear.

Especially with the barrels.

4. Repeat the above three until 10.

I could probably do a top ten 3rd parties I don't want to see far easier, but that's not what was asked here.

[GaroMaster]

Given that Nintendo probably went through several legal hoops just to get the three Rayman trophies, doesn't that mean Nintendo has the rights to putting Rayman in Smash?
I mean, it seems like a waste to not make him playable.

 

[Deleted member]

For third-party wants: just Bomberman and maybe Slime.

"Waste.'
You do realise that the rights are solely for making the trophy, an extension ot the deal and payment for the rights would be needed for the fighter as well as a whole new model made because trophy models have no skeleton and are as beneficial to being turned into fighters as those stone dudes holding up statues in the background of Arena Ferox or Tails/Knuckles/Silver in Green Hill, right?

 

[GaroMaster]

Third Party wants:
Unquestionably these three.
Rayman
Snake

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

okay then, seeing how the last one went so well lets try it with a bit more...controversial character in the polls

And I don't mean Goku

!
While I personally don't care for Snake, him being the first third party character is enough for me to be okay with his return.

 

[Aetheri]

"Rarely appear on Nintendo platforms these days."
Dude we got 3DS titles from them both in the past like 4 years. Far better than, say, Banjo.

Rarely doesn't mean none btw...

Because Sack Boy is totally a hard core blood and gore kind of character.

As far as the "criteria" for 3rd parties, Sack Boy is in kind of a weird place. We have:
The face of stealth games
A gaming icon
A gaming icon
The face of the arcades
The face of fighting games
Sack Boy doesn't really have a huge legacy like the others, but his gaming genre is very new. I believe he is the face of level creator games, but level creator games don't really have a legacy, so neither does Sack Boy.

Hmmm. What 3rd party characters do you guys think are a gaming Icon? Well...besides obviously what we already have.

Tails-Luigi tier icon of the Sonic franchise...knuckles is close but Tails is the easy second choice of the franchise...

Bomberman/Simon Belmont-bomberman because its bomberman and Simon Belmont because Castlevania along with Metroid helped define a genre of gaming

Dig Dug-more of a retro pick for namco but is more or less on the same level as konami's bomberman just not nearly as popular

Spyro/Crash-not the icons they used to be but they are still remembered for their games back in the day until Sony basically left them to their fates with Activision

Banjo & Kazooie-more Nintendo icons than gaming icons...they pretty much represent the golden days of the N64...

Lara Croft-the only video game gal that can give Samus a run for her money (though samus>>>>>>>>>lara croft imo...jus sayin )

Jill Valentine-An Icon of horror games as Resident Evil (along with Silent Hill) helped to define the survival horror genre, Horror games are unlikely to get any recognition in general given the more light hearted nature of smash...

Doomguy-FPS icon even though Duck Hunt came first ....before anyone says anything Doom was available on the SNES but it didn't do well because it was released at end of the snes's cycle

Black Mage-because Final Fantasy, black mage is one of the most recognizable and notable characters within Square's juggernaut franchise, despite Cloud's popularity

Rayman-even people who haven't touched his games know who he is just by his unique design alone...

Chun-Li-a fighting game icon in her own right along side her co-star Ryu...though you could pick and choose other SF characters such as Ken, Akuma, Cammy and M. Bison because of how big the series is...

Shantae/Quote-if we want to count the Indies then these two have more going for them than most others...though being Indie in general makes them less significant than most non-iconic characters in general due to their relative obscurity...

I know it doesn't mean none, but they've been on Nintendo consoles more frequently that some notable Smash-shown series.... no matter how much we want them.....
They're not barren on Nintendo, just more associated elsewhere as of late.

I'm sorry.
EDIT: I edited the original post for you.

 

[Megadoomer]

As far as third party wants go, I don't have many that I seriously want, so beyond the top three or four, I'm not as concerned if they make it in or not, though they'd still be nice to see.

Also, I'm not including characters owned by a competing console maker - barring some sort of licensing miracle, it seems impossible.

1. Snake
2. Rayman
3. Bayonetta
4. Shovel Knight
5. Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI)
6. Bomberman
7. Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes)
8. Tails
9. Black Mage (Final Fantasy)
10. Agumon

F-Zero and Punch Out! aren't exclusive to other consoles unlike MGSV and SFV...which was my main point to begin with...

At this point, do you guys think any character is still a shoo-in for DLC?

Wolf. I also think K. Rool is EXTREMELY likely, but not a shoo-in.

K. Rool should've been in the game by now.
Also, I have a question for everyone:
How would you guys react if there was no new DK character added as DLC?

 

[#KingM]

I think Black Mage would be a great choice. He's already been in a few Nintendo games. (Mario Hoops, Mario Sports Mix and a few ff games.) I think he'd fit in well with a magic based move set.

And besides, there is already a White Mag alt costume for Rosalina and Luma, meaning Nintendo is acknowledging their existence.

Pissed, as it means Sakurai doesn't care about the franchise despite K.Rool and Dixie being popular requests
