Well I mean he's a retro character so one title is usually par for the course like the ICs or Pit or Duck Hunt. And other than Wario Ware and Pikman his appearances weren't cameos. In Captain Rainbow he a fully fledged character with a storyline, his game was essential remade for the Wii version of Samurai Warriors 3, and Nintendo also basically remade his game for NintendoLand on the Wii U. That's not to mention the television drama based on it or the re-releases his original game got. So he's actually had a good bit of history it's just we missed out on it because for whatever reason Nintendo never brought it to the west till 2015. Though to be honest I don't really want him playable for that I just like the character and the games and I want to play as him with against the rest of Nintendo's latest and greatest. Not to mention more people might search out and play his games after being in Smash and possibly get his own KI: Uprising[QUOTE="Well not really he's actually a fan favorite in Japan which is why he has a good number of references in modern games. Plus his game is super fun if you like NES style games try it out, or if you like quirky adventure titles like Chibi Robo get Captain Rainbow which Takamaru is also in and is one of the best parts of the game./QUOTE]
Okay, maybe obscurity is the wrong word. It's cool that Takamaru has a fun game and some cameos, but that's still one game and some cameos. That sounds like assist trophy material to me. Ideally, I'd want to see Mysterious Murasame Castle 2 before he gets beyond an assist, especially if Donbe and Hikari get to appear alongside Takamaru in it.
