And I'll be focusing on my new most wanted, Bill Rizer, since Hayabusa was FP11.
Which they did.
Yeah...but he always ends up cutting a couple.
I don't think they would have been an issue for Final Smashes since they don't have to be around the same size as the rest of the fighters. As for Elma not being in the previous game, it's because it predates hers by a year (well, the 3Ds version does anyway). She likely wasn't in a finished enough state to be picked when they were solidifying the roster.
I dunno about a lock (or at least, not Shin Megami Tensei V specifically), but if Joker sticks around, I could see Shin Megami Tensei getting thrown into the mix. Or...actually it could also replace the Joker as well due to how related the two are.
Don't hate, or bunch, us Naho fans due to people like that.
No, it wasn't. It was recorded just after the short message from Sakurai at E3 was recorded, which was probably a couple months prior to E3
Tbf SMT4 wouldn't get a physical release in Europe whereas 5 has a worldwide release on the same day, which is pretty unheard of for Atlus of all companies
my speculation:
That still annoys me. I'm actually replaying it at the moment, and I had to basically completely clear my 3ds just to download the game. At least we're getting one with V (we're even getting the collectors' edition, which is nice).
It was a copyright thing which no longer applies so it'd be called Nocturne most likely and iirc Pythra brought Torna songs so it'd make sense to include those songs
I was more meaning that I wasn't sure if the Maniax songs would say they were from Nocturne or Nocturne Maniax outside of Japan, since they were technically introduced at the same time here. Although the Torna stuff implies it would just say Nocturne.
Yes, but at least with Byleth, they gave people five whole months for people to get accustomed to him: his game came out in the tail-end of July 2019 but he was actually announced for Smash in January 2020. it's not like they went ahead and revealed him at E3 that year right before Three Houses came out. Again, it's not comparable to the SMTV situation.Sakurai's already said he started on Byleth during 3H's development so it's not even the first time he's done such a thing. And it's not a "shill character", it's "[turning] the protagonist of a game that people are playing right now into a fighter that players could experience immediately"
Moreover with Roy, it was a base game character that wasn't really affect people's purchases of Melee and Corrin came from a game that sold decently well in Japan, thus the risk was somewhat reduced given that they'd likely get a decent response back home even if hypothetically the character didn't do huge numbers in the West.
Those five months didn't exactly endear Byleth to the Smash fanbase, though. And they'd be added for roughly the same reason - promoting a release Nintendo has high expectations for.
They're marketing the game hard and presumably funding it to an extent. It's more like rigging the table rather than rolling the dice.
I know. As much as I wanted to include them in my pack, I personally think the first three games of the series have some better songs, so it's a case of "While 'x' is good, 'y' - in my opinion - is better."
Dr. Weil... how should I put this? He's basically Dr. Wily but even older and enhanced with Reploid parts.
This reminds me a bit of how when designing Roy for Melee, Sakurai stayed in constant touch with the devs of the FE game Roy would originate in in order for his moveset and personality in Melee to parallel that of his traits in his FE game.
insert funny ARMS joke
The thing here to keep in mind is that Shin Megami Tensei 5 was first revealed back in 2017 so the game has been in existence for quite a while and there is probably a lot more going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. It is possible that Nintendo could have worked closely with Atlus anywhere within those 5 years or more since it's a Nintendo Switch exclusive and Nintendo are publishing the game in the PAL regions. It's also been proven before that Sakurai doesn't need to get a hold of a game in order to create a character as he only used concept art of Greninja to create him.
Truth be told, unlikely as it is, Peacock would be amazing.
Your choice to believe does not affect whether or not it is true.
Pete Famguy.
It would be weirder if you DID care about a character from a game you've never even played.
honestly most of these wanting Nahobinho on running on a lot of hopium.
A low budget game on the 3DS is not even remotely the same as a high budget game that debuted with the Switch.
He did this for Incineroar as well iirc.
That would make sense if they decided on a far-out character and deliberately started work on the character late to ensure that the game the character is from would be finalized and that Sakurai would have access to a finalized build of the game. The other side of the same coin is that the fighter wouldn’t release before the game. It’d make a non-zero amount of sense to wait a bit to start developing Nahobino.
You have to remember that the game was announced and began development in 2017 (I've looked extensively and can find no records or interviews stating the game development began prior to 2017), and even without Covid, developing a brand new JRPG for a brand new console like the Switch at the time is very time consuming. A big console JRPG project takes at least 4-5 years to complete in most cases unless the development team is completely used to the hardware.
yeah but there’s a difference between being able to do it for a first party character and then doing it for a third party character form a third party company that you don’t even own in anyway possible.
