Edit: 'd

Anyways, I think this is pretty much a solid enough confirmation that those five franchises won't have characters as the last two DLC packs.

 

[Gnateb]

Dark Souls Remastered has dodged it's 2 year anniversary spirit event bullet.

 

[perfectchaos83]

35th anniversary tournament is pretty neat.

 

[Gnateb]

Inb4 "series who have their 35th anniversary this year are disconfirmed"

 

[7NATOR]

The only thing I will say is that, unless we somehow get 3 full weeks of tourneys (Including this week), it's confirmed that at least 1 of 2 Prominent Tourneys that have still been absent from the game, will come AFTER E3

-2010's Tournament
-Swordfighter Tourney

Take this as you will, but it does seem to suggest that (especially if we get 2 reveals at E3), that 1 or 2 of the last 2 Fighters have aspects of being a Swordfighter, from the 2010's, or both

Too late.

Too late.

This changes nothing anyways. Adol's 35th anniversary is still a good year away

Obviously five years off (30 vs 35), but the tournament announcement reminded me of this lol.

I think we could use a character voiced by Crispin Freeman in Smash and there just so happens to be a JRPG swordsman that fits that bill.

I am not sure if Cammy should be at this party.

 

[DarthEnderX]

That's weird, I think of Newgrounds and Pico's School...

Same Pico.

I mean, why does it matter if Persona is "More of a Playstation title than Nintendo title"?

It doesn't. Because Persona is still a MegaTen game. And MegaTen has a long history on Nintendo systems.

Wait... Tiffany Treadmore, That is Hotgirlvideos69.

I think we can disregard this. the Bio does not give me confidence.

I mean, logically, yes.

On the other hand, that's a thing I want. So it's definitely legit.

Decisions, decisions.

Nintendo is letting you pick 2 of these past franchises to get a new game or remake announced at E3. Which two do you choose? pic.twitter.com/qCotoEAaFo

Punch-Out and Kid Icarus.

Oh man...now I want some Lemmings in Smash...

i have it narrowed down to Kid Icarus, Star Fox, and Mother, but eliminating any of those hurts ;-;

What about an all girls tourney?

Why did I just get spam warned for posting an image of Siegmeyer of Catarina

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Why did I just get spam warned for posting an image of Siegmeyer of Catarina

It was an image only post, next time try adding some text to avoid warnings.

 

[SharkLord]

Why did I just get spam warned for posting an image of Siegmeyer of Catarina

Image-only posts get that. Generally, people get around that by posting something along the lines of "bottom text" with the image

Oh ok ok I understand, thanks

 

[Gengar84]

I got the same warning last week. They don’t want us to post just an image alone. We need to write something with it.

Eggman debuted in June 1991 eh?

Worth keeping an eye out then for E3 potentially.

No they're not adding him just because he debuted 30 years ago.

1986 was a real banger.

35 year anniversary event

"Clearly this means a character that did not debut 35 years ago is coming"

 

[GilTheGreat19]

I don't think he's necessarily saying that...

Wario Land and Mario Strikers

 

[7NATOR]

Yeah that's something too. I believe Sakurai wrote the Script for Kid Icarus Uprising, so he's the one that made the "Super Bash Sisters". I guess a Female only character tourney is in the Cards

I actually have Character(s) in mind that actually fits 2010's, Swordfighter, and Girl Tourney, as well as Fire Tourney (for Shroob's Fire Theory). It's apart of my theory that I never got into actually making. I think with that theory I'll just let the evidence speak for itself, since I think the evidence is substansial enough

I'd trade them all for Rhythm Heaven

Since Wargroove already exists, I'll back Kid Icarus and Golden Sun. Mother can settle for being ported.

Poor Takamaru. Missing out on the 35th Birthday due to being an Assist Trophy...and F for Goemon and Kunio-kun/Renegade.

Metroid Prime 2 released in Japan 16 years ago today. Sakurai also notes that the game's subtitle, "echoes" is appropriate to Dark Samus, as she is an echo fighter of Samus. He also notes that Echo Fighters are called "Dash Fighters" in Japan.

How would an all-female tourney deal with the characters that have male alt skins? That might be why they haven't done it. Half the female cast is tied up in that

I'm pretty sure they could work in some coding so specific costumes could only be used in tourneys.

One thing that has been done in previous tourneys where one or two of the Trainer’s Pokémon fits the description but not the others is exclude the character entirely since all of them wouldn’t fit the description.

I’m not sure if a similar thing would happen here, but I guess that’s one possible solution... even though it would exclude a ton of female fighters (especially since this is alt costumes and not the Trainer mechanic).

For the record, I'd give anything to see EVERY SINGLE ONE of these IPs get SOMETHING, I don't care what it is. That said, since no one seems to be giving it some love, I'm going to go with Pilotwings.

Nintendo can take my wallet if they give me a new PW game with the PW64 cast.

Honestly, I really like that Metroid Prime in general is being referenced.

So much spotlight is given to the original and Super that the rest of the series feels forgotten by comparison.
