DLC Palette Swaps/Costumes ?

If Nintendo does in fact decide to release DLC for Sm4sh, what do you think the potential for downloadable palette swaps and costumes would be?

While 8 costumes for each character sounds reasonable (especially with the possibility of 8-Man Smash on the way), I think that releasing 2 additional costumes for each character, which would total an even 10 costumes, would be in Nintendo's best interests, DLC-wise.

One of the primary reasons I ask this is because I felt like Nintendo missed some opportunities when it came to selecting what would get in the game for palette swaps and costumes. Dark Bowser, Ice and Flying Mario (and to that extent, Luigi), Shiny Charizard (and Lucario), and a host of other costumes come to mind.

I want to hear from YOU. Do you think Nintendo would do something like this, and what do you think would be interesting alternate costumes that could be added to the game?

I don't think that it would be that likely, but there are a bunch I would like to see:


Hooded Robin (made by @D3RK)


Yukata Lucina


Shiny Forms


Golf (Patriotic) Luigi and Mr. L


Dry Bowser



Flying Mario, just to name a few

I'd love to see a Classic Sonic and Riders Sonic alt for Sonic, a Ms.Pac-Man alt for Mega Man and Sports Peach as DLC alts

Mr L would be sick. I'd play Luigi all the time just to use that.

I'm surprised Charizard doesn't have his recent Shiny form. Seems like an odd design choice...

They could release a "64 Pack" or a "Melee Pack" where each of the veterans from those games would get costumes based off their respective models (like Project M did for a few characters) and then the newcomers/veterans not in those games could get costumes based off what they would have looked like had they been included.

Only Mr. L if they give his costume alternate, more confident voice lines. To show off his spunk.

Might be off topic but I would have loved it if Smash Bros. could read your Animal Crossing data to make Villager look like yours.

That would be hard though if you wear QR designs like myself. But I agree, I would love seeing my personal mayor kick ass.

Anyway uhh I'd love to see a hooded robin, definitely agree with that. A Panne Lucina would be cool too. And more pink versions of characters, heh.

Reclassed Fire Emblem character palette swaps would be nice. I'd probably kill to see something like Sorcerer/Sorceress or Dark Knight Robin or maybe even Great Lord or Paladin Lucina.

ms. pac man for pac man, masked lucina, shiny forms for pokemon, outset toon link and young link (using the 3ds model) for toon link, and maybe even the teminian shield to get even more majora's mask remake announcement hype from people (assuming they intend to at all, but i went on a bit of a tangent, sorry) mr. L, Shadoo versions of mario peach luigi and bowser, X exe etc versions for megaman, and i think a toon zelda alt wouldnt be a bad idea.

Easily Orange w/Orange Fire Mario from SMB3, and pink hair Toon Link for ALttP. Disappointed this wasn't standard, really.

They seem to be really keen on promoting new releases with this Smash installment, more so than in the past, so I'd say the designs for the upcoming Star Fox game has a decent chance as DLC, hopefully with Wolf accompanying it. Possibly the same thing could hold true for the Zelda cast and Samus.

Some ideas that crossed my mind...

:4yoshi: and :4kirby:'s skin from their Yarn games. Probably not possible, but how cool would it be?

:4duckhunt: - An Old English Sheepdog alt with fur covering his eyes.

:4rob: - Rusted look; kind of like an old broken down robot.

Not very much, but I'll post again if I think of any more.

Yeah. It seems like a lot of people would enjoy having alternate costumes like Robin and Bowser Jr. I think the costumes would have to change something about the character (such as the voice or actual model) to make up for the payment. I wouldn't mind some costume packs as well! Maybe like a grouping of costumes similar to the pallet swap of Mario's America costume :D. I don't see Nintendo going to the extreme though.
