i am not fully sure of this, but did any other trophy come from a 2nd party developer besides HAL and trophies from the smash characters? if not, then that might be why. if so, maybe sakurai was not in touch with companies outside of japan, and rare was based in europe, so that might be why too.
Many of the 'Other' series trophies were from second parties(Custom Robo, Dobutso Bancho/Cubivore, Doshin the Giant, etc.)

And you may not have known this, but there is one more reference to a Rare game in Melee. The Motion Sensor Mine and Cloaking Device were both from Perfect Dark(That is the TOP SECRET game).

In general, though, Sakurai just probably didn't think that some of them were more Rare games than Nintendo games.

The fact is that Sakurai's running the show for smash and he can do whatever the hell he wants. And if he wants Diddy in then he'll put him in regardless of what Miyamoto says.

They were Nintendo games then, You can't say Banjo-Kazooie was inapropriate for a trophy mention and conker is sorta inapropriate because they made CBFD to spite people who said their company was childish... but still there is no excuse for not even giving rare a nod, bloody snobs.

If Miyamoto wanted something in or out badly enough he would be able to convince Nintendo and Sakurai on putting it in / taking it out.

Diddy FTW!

Xianfeng, you keep saying that I would make crap games. But you know what, you cannot make a better moveset then my Diddy Kong. Try it. Without using any of my proposed moves. You try to keep your topic so narrow so everyone agrees with you. The truth is, you have horrible ideas and you badmouth people who have opinions different then yours. So try to make a moveset before trying to tear everyone apart.

No you just had a rant before I posted the moveset, how S.H.I.T ideas suck. It was prolly the longest post you had. And you called me an old arse in the midst of your "compliment." You are not that smart. I thought you were open minded in the beginning, but you just try to monopolize your own ideas, whether they are horrible or not. Let other people say what is on their mind. Take this challenge, try to make a better Diddy Kong moveset then me. Try it. We will see how far you get.

I said I don't like S.H.I.T titles, but a lot of people do like the Sunshine / Windwaker / Sport titles, you have unique and original ideas and you're a very creative person I was really only thing of the I when I made those suggestions.

Your moveset was fine the only thing I found off was the Banana move, sounds like the sort of thing that Nintendo would do though, I don't want to try to make a moveset because I am busy watching Viva Pinata trailers and also it would be very similar to the one on page one, because those are the only ideas I can come up with, I'm not as creative as you.

1. DKC series were Nintendo games made by Rare. Banjo and Conker were Rare games made by Rare. There's a diference there folks.

2. As perviously mentioned, the mine and Cloaking device were from Goldeneye-PD, which Rare made.

If Nintendo doesn't hate DKC the only way to prove it is by putting in Diddy by himself, that and adding him into Donkey kong for the wii
3. Does that mean that if they don't put Baloon Fighter in they hate the series? What about a Mach Rider character? If he's not in, do they hate the series? No, they don't. Stop being such a stuck up idiot, especially when the majority of your ideas suck (Need I remind you of Glover?)

EDIT: 4. Why does Rare even deserve a nod? They don't work for them anymore.

Ok then, but who was Kirby made by HAL or Nintendo

They were listed as top secret

Ok fine I'll be good

They did in melee when they were 2nd party, they don't anymore but DKC does.

HAL, which (unlike Rare was) is owned entirely by Nintendo.

They were listed as top secret
In beta the mine looked exactly like the one from PD, and the Cloaking device trophy speaks of it's use in the Carrington Institute.

In the japanese version, the proximity mine looks like the ones in Goldeneye and the trophy says "Goldeneye" instead the "TOP SECRET" thing. The invisibility device says Perfect Dark. However, in the US and PAL versions they removed all relationship with these games, but you can still see at the end of the credits roll something about Perfect Dark and Rare.

Well xianfeng,

Do to the recent thread" Team Dixie and Diddy" I have decided that this idea makes some sense. So as for solo Diddy he is better then team diddy and if he makes it in lets all hope he has nothing to do with Dixie.

Zombie and Dweller do you guys realise you helped this thread very much? Without you guys we'd still had around 50 pages. ;)

Anyways you should just accept that Diddy is a good idea. I see you both support characters as Lyn and Hector, which also stared just one game in a game universe where Nintendo always makes a new Lord every game. Diddy is DK's sidekick in all his games he's stared in. And seeing as DK sells better then Fire Emblem, Diddy far more know then the likes of Fire Emblem lords (except MAYBE Marth but thats only cuz of Melee).

In the west Diddy is more well known, in the East Marth is, In the merry old land of oz Diddy is more well known because Nintendo of Australia stopped advertising after the Nintendo 64 so half the people don't know the gamecube exsists.

If Nintendo of Australia does put ads on TV I havn't seen them.

And even if Diddy wouldnt be more known. He's still the best candidate for Brawl. From all the franchises, DK is the most ignored. Having Diddy in Brawl, will restore that somehow, or atleast will show that Nintendo isnt an ignorant *******. And even if they really wanted to destroy the DK franchise (or atleast everything Rare did created) they wouldn't let Diddy be playable in Mario sport games, they wouldnt remake Diddy Kong Racing or port the DKC games to the GBA...

The last one. They are actually quite useful. ;)

If Diddy isnt in the game... Nintendo will sell DK to Hudson and we'll be having Jungle Beat Parties with DK, DK jr, Petey Piranha, the KISS Kongs and the Hudson Bee.

I'm still shocked that Diddy wasn't in Melee in the first place..O_O..Idiots.

I'm all for Diddy,i also love Diddy's part of the song on Kong Jungle in Melee.
He's back again and about time too and this time he's in the mood, he can fly real high with his jetpack on with his pistols out he's one tough kong! He'll make you smile when he plays his tune but kremlings beware coz he's after you!

Proberly not in the exact order it's been I while since I've heard the DK rap

Yeah its like that in DK64 and in the good order. ;)
However his part in the DK stage in Melee was rather... Strange... O_O Since when is Diddy a half rapper-half rockstar? Not only the voice was driven sexual, the lines where totally diffrent to.

I disliked what they did to Diddy's part of the rap, it is incredibly hard to hear. Actually, I didn't like what they did to the rap in general.

Diddy is pretty much one of (if not the only) characters that needs to be in Brawl. Seriously, they have to had him this time, it's only fair for DK to get a partner this time round.

wow, the biggest shocker so far is zombie and basement support diddy a little more.

i loved the rap in dk64, and the use of the world hell for chunky. i found it weird that it was edited out, even though the game is T. diddy's verse was really good.

yay diddy!

Sexual??=/,I didn't even look at it from that perspective...but moving on..

Xianfeng,that is the correct way it is sung,that part of the song needs to be extended,and also they need to cut off the Chunky Kong crap(Is that his name?).
