I'll admit it's a bit optimistic. I just picked then because I think that'll be around the point it sets in for more people that the new content releases are over.
That leak wasn't real. It said Nintendo called Disney for an arrangement in the trailer, but there was seemingly no cooperation with Disney at all. Sakurai even named the director of KH in specific for allowing this to happen, so even if there was any cooperation from Disney, it would have been Square Enix who negotiated it, not Nintendo.
I mean, considering Disney literally owns everything about Kingdom Hearts (even though SE makes the games themselves), there clearly had to be some kind of cooperation.
Ok. What was the arrangement in the trailer then? It doesn't seem like they used any music that involved Disney.
Good because if it doesn't happen at least after the dust has settled and everyone is fully looking forward, I'm going to send the ghost of this account to haunt what remains of these forums.
I am a bit apprehensive though just because of how long they've been off the table, and many likely to be without new games to rekindle the popularity. I mean you see newer or more forgetful people seemingly overlook the fact that they were popular to begin with.
Yes, Zero, Alucard, Knuckles and Shadow are exceptions, because they will come out of this with even more popularity, thanks to now being seen as on the table. At least more than they ever were.
Again, Disney literally owns all of the original content in Kingdom Hearts. That includes its soundtrack.
thats a bold statement k rool and ridley fans were on the same boat before but they came back bigger in each installments Geno basically had the biggest thread in smashboards with 3744 pages if you look at the one before the Sephiroth reveal, pretty sure we all come back once next smash game gets announced the hype of new smash game does bring us together i could say the same thing to Waluigi he is hard to ignore at this point during each new smash game his supports is becoming larger and larger every time.

and yet the most Geno could get was just the return of his Mii outfit with barely any changes. With the Smash series heading towards an unknown future after Ultimate and considering what already had happened to Geno's fanbase after Brawl and before Cloud's DLC pack, one has to wonder how much the fandom is gonna hold up. After everything that happened during Ultimate it kinda made sense to support him again, but I dunno. Are people still gonna be clinging onto a several year old interview that amounted to basically absolutely nothing the very next game?Honestly, he deserves it. I have no investment in him personally but one day I hope the dedication on the part of his fans manages to pay off. There's a fair few characters I feel that way about, but Geno's pretty high on that list. The demand managed to get acknowledged on multiple occasions, after all.
This is why I doubt the capability of the Geno fanbase to really get back together and hit levels of popularity similar to this cycle. Geno fans don't really acknowledge this but Geno's popularity has definitely fluctuated across cycles, and, as you mentioned, this cycle specifically had the conditions to create massive support for Geno.Geno is kind of an odd duck because he technically did "die" before. Just look at his Smash 4 thread over here

“I serve… a higher authority…” This will be the main topic for discussion the character potential of Geno, one of the main characters from the game "Mario RPG" for the Super Nintendo. I'll update as I think up more information or people post something good. For those interested, his...
His thread didn't even crack 100 pages. Compare that to the absolute kings that were Ridley and K. Rool during that period. Or well, compare it to Geno's thread for this game, at least the first one from before December 2020.
Geno had a lot of fortunate circumstances that brought him and his fandom back into the limelight after seemingly petering out after Brawl. The character was directly acknowledged by Smash and Sakurai for the first time with the Mii outfit released alongside Cloud, and Sakurai then said in an interview released shortly afterward that he actually wanted to make Geno playable. Of course, Ultimate then gets announced a few years later and begins to start fufilling a whole slew of long standing character requests like Ridley, K. Rool and Banjo & Kazooie, which gave hope to Geno (and Isaac) fans that they were next in line.
But now Ultimate and come and gone, despite it again fufilling tons of dream requests like
My opinion on him fluctuates and it’s basically because the reason to add him is to throw the fanbase a bone and sometimes I‘m like “yeah, they’re a part of speculation history!” and sometimes the Geno fanbase feels mad entitled to me so I’m like “you can get your toy back when you behave”
I think sadder than that is the fact that if Brawl had had more development time we know she'd have been put in over Wolf with a completely unique moveset.
And now they can reuse assets to make her playable! It's like poetry, it rhymes.
I never really got that impression.

Some people use this as evidence that Sakurai wanted to make Krystal playable in Smash, but I never really read it that way. It just sounds like we were going to get Wolf or no one. At best, Krystal was momentarily considered.
Meh, I believe that interview gets misread. Imo it isn’t “Yes, Krystal was on the table but we couldn’t finish her“, but it was an interviewer asking about Krystal and Sakurai saying “Look, it had to be Wolf because for someone like Krystal we’d need the time we didn’t have“
Yeah, that's exactly my point. Crystal would've been feasible had Brawl had more development time. Since it didn't, she didn't get in.
Better get started as soon as you can. Make enough noise, and you might be able to make the next Sergeant Cortez.i just made this now this is going to be in my signature now that i feel more confidence in supporting a club penguin rep since disney is involved in smash
But consider:
More like, occasionally being dragged out where Nintendo thinks they can work with another wacky technical/controller idea Miyamoto thought of.
Miyamoto just seems to view Star Fox as a wacky tech demo franchise to do whatever with, and as Cuthbert mentions above he doesn't really care about what the fans want.
And it's kinda sad to think that due to that game's entire conceit, it couldn't even feasibly get a Switch port to just help it exist a bit more. Without a massive rework, at least.
why are you trying to hurt me
Or...what?
"here me out" is normally used as a prelude to saying something crazy.
Hayabusa, Hayabusa, Bill Rizer, Hayabusa.
I think it'll have less to do with who wants what than it does who owns what.
I'm gonna call BS on that. Because nostalgia requires one to have, ya know, played the thing.
I rather more Metroid plz. I already know which character I want to support and which area I want for a stage.
I kinda get the impression that the Krystal AT is a compromise, where they might not have had the time to get her in as a full character (or simply was not prioritized) but still commited to an AT that would feel like a fighter. Ditto with characters like Zero and Alucard. Those are the kinds of ATs that might be the easiest to build off of in future games.
That is Miyamoto's Modus Operandi with pretty much everything though (sure, it's to different degrees with the franchises, but this is also notable with Mario and F-Zero). It's both his greatest strength and his most crippling weakness as a developer; on one hand, that imagination has pushed a lot of revolutions and advances in the industry as a whole. On the other hand, he's become so used to it succeeding that he hasn't really thought though the scenario: "What if it fails?"
's weight (thanks you, Hydreigonfan01 for posting this in the competitive thread): and , he's also (again, presumably) heavier than . Must be the Mickey keychain. 
I only speak the truth. How you feel about it has no bearing on my intent, however bleak my words may be.
Hey that's my line
If you own Murasame's Castle you're either A. Japanese. In which case, congrats. Or B. You got it MUCH later. In which case, I don't think it qualifies as nostalgia.
