To be fair it's not a stretch to say it's one of the biggest third party Switch titles, Microsoft considered it major enough competition as seen in the data the Epic VS Apple lawsuit as official documents mention it. Rise is massive but it won't stay an exclusive
Three Houses and SMT V were supposed to come out much earlier. I don’t get how you don’t realize this.
I mean Second Chance Theory is a thing for pass 2 no?
Hmm, I actually didn't know that, thanks for pointing this out.
by that logic I could say that the professor Layton and the curious village game and lost future were meant to be coming to the Switch last year and because of their current situation they’ve been shelved to coincide with professor Layton being the last fighter when level 5 are in a better situation.
That came from the Capcom megaleak from like November which leaked Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, available now for 39.99
What's Jane and violet? /Lazyignorantslob
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jane is something found in the Smash code before Joker released.
Oh right. That was a thing.
K so
It’s not about the sales, it is about showing off the capabilities of the Switch and expanding Nintendo’s and Smash’s marketing demographic.
Lots of games/characters, heck even companies could fit 2nd Chance Theory.
I think some also said Lara Croft cuz of the ponytail
I don’t remember hearing anything about that.
’d
Um Rie
The Telethia song… even though part 1 is of the pre-final boss
We already know it is coming to PC next year.
How do you get that out of what I said? At the time the 1st pass was decided Three Houses had a 2018 release date and SMT V was regularly being marketed before Atlus said they were having development problems in 2018.
Joker wouldn’t have come to Smash at all with Nahobino in pass 1.
Ignoring the problems with the idea that every character in Fighters Pass 2 up until the last character is worthless filler in and of itself, even in the ludicrous event that this is true, how are you so sure that Shin Megami Tensei V is the game they would go for? There's plenty of new games that are coming out this year. Hell, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are coming out in November, just like SMTV, so they could just as easily go for that instead. And it'd likely be a lot easier for them since Nintendo owns Pokemon.
Nintendo co-owns Pokemon, to be fair(Gamefreak and Creatures Inc. also co-own it). But it's still something they have partial ownership, so the point still stands even then. It's much easier to get than any regular third party, after all.
While I can see the Argument for Nahobino being the Final character in FP2, I find it a little hard to believe that this scenario will be what is coming to FP2, and I find it especially unlikely for it to be the Inspiration for FP2 even happening, when we have evidence that contradicts that idea
I don't think that makes that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. I mean GameFreak and The Pokemon Company probably have mandates on how certain Pokemon are handled (such as alternate costumes) but the fact it's second-party hasn't stopped a Pokemon newcomer coming to Smash to my knowledge.
Not worthless filler, just filler. Steve would have definitely gotten into Smash later without the 2nd pass, probably Kazuya too(Sephiroth might have been replaced by a character from a different Final Fantasy though).
Oh. The title is pretty scrambled though. You'd have to really try and crack the anagrams in order to spoil yourself.
Considering how much time and effort goes into making a character for Smash, especially when they have complex mechanics like Min Min, Steve (which required retooling every single stage mind you), and Kazuya, calling ANY character "filler" is a fallacy of logic.
Why does it matter if it wasn't conceptualized in 2017? First, the second pass was finalized much later than that, and second, it's a remake of the Gen IV Pokemon games, meaning that if they wanted to represent it all they would need to do is pick an existing Gen IV Pokemon.
Because they do. Because they were.
Exactly.
So was the character who replaced Nabohino Joker or Byleth? Make up your mind.
Do you have ANY source on this one other than "because I say so"?
It won game of the year.OK I figured some of them out
Wow bro that's mad funny
SMT’s appeal compared to Persona is almost solely because there is no western market yet while Persona’s western market is comparable to its Japanese market. The original Nocturne got buried in the PS2’s library because 2002 and 2003 were some of the best years for the console and SMT was literally completely new to the west at that time(while Persona has been in the west since the beginning) and it was a mini revival of a series thought to be dead by Japan after the complete failure of Nine. Strange Journey and the IV games coming to DS consoles really meant that at least the western fanbase for SMT had to start over with games like SMT IV and many of the original fans of Nocturne never ended up getting those. Nahobino in Smash will massively grow the western fanbase precisely because there is so much room for growth, especially when he is put next to Joker.
