And Monster Hunter is also a rumor, as there was a rumor that he was scrapped and his concepts were reused for Byleth.
Considering it sold basically all of it's First Physical print that Nintendo had to double dip on the west, and it still sold quite a lot, and that Nintendo stopped the Physical Print of the games now.
So equally as popular then.
And people wonder why so many people like Japan...
Not surprising. Rex was more or less their most wanted first party character. I'd imagine that P/M is arguably even better.
A good portion of Xenoblade 2's western fanbase might also just prefer the Japanese version more. Besides, 1.3 million people saw the reveal live anyway.
That's literally not how it works though, you're saying that something not on your mind at the time means you lose all memory of it if not expecting it means not recognizing it. Otherwise people would have went "Who's that?", not "HOLY **** THEY ADDED CLOUD?" Also I like how you're saying conditioning as if this was an immoral social experiment or something and not changing direction for Ultimate
Well I would say "too bad, Nintendo's choosing", but I can't imagine Nintendo specifically wanting Pyra without Rex. I just can't. At least Terry had the SNK guest fighter trend to make him seem like a Nintendo pick.
That does make sense to me. Altho all the lockdown stuff kinda messed up the schedule of things, maybe it'd be cp11 that was for e3 originally or something.
Just drop CP 10 and 11 at E3, one for the west, one for the east, just like Hero and Banjo. Hell, now that Directs are back, we're back to the old ways of waiting a few months between reveals.
Maybe they saw the sales of the Figmas and how nobody seemed remotely interested in a Rex figure or Nintendo just asked "Give us a character from this game" without caring about who it is like with ARMS? The Steve presentation had Sakurai say he was asked if he could add Minecraft, not Steve, Minecraft. It'd add up
I don't expect that because the releases are more spaced out. I only expect one reveal at E3. CP11 I expect to instead be revealed sometime in the fall.
All they have to do is make her hold it out, instead of up. It's not like there aren't Gunners that actually hold their guns. Like Vault Boy, or Splatoon.
Or Western viewers just prefer watching reaction vids.
Spaced out how? Our reveal/release schedule hasn't changed at all when you compare it to FP1.
What if it’s CP10 pre E3, and CP11 AT E3?
I guess the one main difference there is that Hero/Banjo were revealed early on in the pass, wheras we're now down to the last two characters.
Yeah, the post was made tongue-in-cheek. Most of the Japanese versions on the official channel have more views than the English ones so it doesn't really mean anything. I think YouTube "culture" is different in the regions anyway, in the west there's a lot more reactions and other news covering channels which steal some views.
Feel like that would entirely depend on how early Pyra/Mythra drop, and even then, it's not something I'd put as a high likelihood.
I mean, it has to end at some time, no?
Sure, but I'd imagine Nintendo would want people to keep talking/speculating about Smash for a little awhile longer.
And that wouldn't change anything?
That would imply we'd get another reveal between April and June... less than 2 months after P/M. I think it's unlikely.
Didn’t that investor report talk about potentially extending the Switch’s lifespan? Smash 4’s dlc ended rather early cuz 1. Dual development, and 2. Wii U was practically DOA
Well, yeah. That's basically the crux of Smash hype, and I just think Nintendo would want to milk it for as long as they can.
...I had no idea who Steve was until people memed about him getting in Smash, circa the ballot era.
But it has to end eventually, baring a 3rd pass.
They did, and in the same Investor Report Talk, irc they talked about how Smash DLC were boosting the Game sales, and how they try to attract non-smash fans/Games into smash thanks to the characters and not the other way around.
They could still do their own general Direct sometime in summer, effectively an E3 direct without the E3 branding. We just got one a few days ago, so they're clearly back on the table.
Rayman for my birthday? Sakurai, you shouldn't have!
The only thing I'm hesitant about this proposition is that since Directs are back, I really doubt they're going to do standable Sakurai Presents reveals anymore, and those will be saved for character gameplay, Mii costumes and release dates.
I take Phoenix Wright in an heartbeat.
