kaz

New theory - We get people with only Kaz to begin their name, next is MGS' Kazuhira Miller to rep third person shooters instead of FPS'.

 

[zumaddy]

Oh BOY, I got here just in time for Byleth discourse brings out popcorn

Anyways in all seriousness, I can't see the last fighter being anything other than a) a 1st party or b) a Tales of character.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Okay, so like are Ness and Lucas just not allowed to show up in the CG segments of Smash trailers? From Smash 4 to now, they have never appeared. Most we got was a Ness cameo in the Joker trailer.

Guess Subspace Emissary is good enough!

By the way, TEKKEN LET'S GOO!!!!!!!

I don't think throwing Ness and Lucas off cliffs would have gone over too well.

Why Tales of?

Feels pretty likely that Lloyd will return with Kazuya.

We just got our Namco boy.

 

[Technomage]

I just realized something: Mario didn't get killed this time! XD

 

[The Rhythm Theif]

So can we just acknowledge that I called that Bowser would die?

I said after the Pyra and Mythra reveal that Bowser had to die next, and lo-and-behold, Kazuya kills Bowser at the end of his reveal. I. FREAKING. CALLED IT.

 

[Rizen]

Kind of disappointed by the enemy design in Metroid Dread. The robots didn't look very scary. In the scenario of something hunting Samus, the X parasites were much more interesting imo.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Also Metroid Dread.


Geez that's a name I heard when I was a kid back in the DS days.

**** I'm auld.

 

[MBRedboy31]

On a side note, for anyone else who is excited for Super Monkey Ball, make sure to watch the Japanese trailer too, since it has a whole lot more footage than the English one, in addition to some features that the English trailer skipped.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

IT BETTER NOT BE A DUMBASS JRPG SWORD BOY

Like I said in the general speculation topic

The average fighting game enjoyers wins.

Probably because licensing.

 

[TheMightyP]

It was foreshadowing......

Didn't Fire Emblem get a game like 3 years ago wigh DLC?

 

[Noipoi]

Spoiler

Maybe next time…my sweet boy…

 

[zumaddy]

I feel Tales in my heart. It might just be my GERD related heartburn, but I feel Tales in my heart.

 

[Brother AJ]

I'm very sad that Crash is probably not coming, but Tekken is more than worthy of getting a character. Holy crap, but no one was talking about Kazuya? I might have guessed had I known he was the protagonist of Tekken 1.

 

[Oracle Link]

So yeah Im just saying it:

Spoiler: Zelda botw 2 Maybe!

Link probably dies by the End of the Game after all his arm looked suspialy like a arm from Princess Monoke!
I do hope that link stays the Main Char of Zelda Though if they want to have a Zelda game call it The Adventure of Zelda and release some Ports or remakes/ Zelda maker during this time!

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

Didn't Fire Emblem get a game like 3 years ago wigh DLC?

Yeah, but it wasn't by the studio that usually does Fire Emblem, so people were expecting a remake.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

he killed mario too lol

I mean even if Link were to die in BotW2, that wouldn't have any effect on the rest of the series. It's a different Link every time unless it's a direct sequel.

Same with SMT V, it shows a lot of stuff that the English Nintendo Presentation didn't cover:

 

[TMNTSSB4]

lose an arm...but show off sexy hair and play Life is Strange 1 and 3, play GOTG on Switch, and have your game release next year...pretty sure Link has won in life

 

[Paraster]

I really wish they showed some footage of NEO TWEWY. It had 3 seconds of footage in the Square Enix presentation and only showed up for 15 seconds in the Japanese direct. It's releasing next month and its marketing doesn't seem too hot.

Just when I think they're trying to push TWEWY as a bigger franchise, they skip out on the best opportunity to get it more attention.

I said previously that they probably just don't have any good material left that isn't spoilery, but couldn't they have at least replayed material from previous trailers to get it in people's heads without the risk of them missing it while they take a drink?

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Yeah, but it wasn't by the studio that usually does Fire Emblem, so people were expecting a remake.

To be fair we did very much get a remake of an Intelligent Systems game

 

[pupNapoleon]

I mean, he could also do what he did for the first pass, where he said nothing at all in regards to the idea of a 2nd fighter's pass. The fact that now of all times he starts bringing up "This is all that's left" is a big signal.


There's also the fact that the man seemingly just wants to kick back. He's ending his Famitsu column after 18~ years where he's always used it to talk about game design and the thought process that goes into his Smash choices, and even earlier this year he said he was running out of Pic of the Days to share.


As much as I adore this game, all good things gotta come to an end.

Again, that is completely legitimate.
But as far as a dream job can be, this is it for a game developer who loves games.
So, wanting to give that up, is a monumental decision.

Not to mention, Nintendo could also force his hand.

 

[MarioRaccoon]

Remember 2 year ago (after E3 2019) when speculation was that last two FP1 characters were from Tekken and Resident Evil.

Imagine if…

 

[RGFS]

OH WAIT. YOU'RE RIGHT LMAO

Light green huh?...

Oh, man! I know the color thing isn't too serious and I'm going to gladly die on the Crash hill, Franklin's signature color from GTAV is that faded green!
The main color for GTAV as a whole is basically a more normal green too.

I'm basically 90% meming with this hope at this point, but it's fun to bring up.

Remember 2 year ago (after E3 2019) when speculation was that last two FP1 characters were from Tekken and Resident Evil.

If the last character isn't Crash, I could see Sakurai wanting to tackle a shooter fighter. Resident Evil is a solid candidate IMO alongside Lara Croft.

They could


Would we 'want' them to?


No, I wouldn't. Even if it was a dream job for me, I'd want it to be a dream job of my own choosing, not because a company is forcing me to do so.

 

[blackghost]

for a bunch of Nintendo fans on a website people sure seem surprsied when nintendo acts like Nintendo.

nintendo isn't gonna show something until they are sure its ready to be shown or nearing its release (ask Pokémon arceus)

we know they are developing metriod, FE, pokemon remakes, and more but they arent gonnna show them early just because people want them to.
they've broken that rule thrice in the past (bayonetta 3 and prime 4 and breath of the wild) all of which suffered delays or setbacks that have clearly reinforced to Nintendo that announcing games early isnt a good idea.
after a year of COVID and likely even more, Nintendo still came out with new games and suprrising remakes/relreases. they had a good e3. sorry if yoir personsal want didn't happen, doesn't mean the direct was bad. (look at my profile picture what game do you think i was looking for?)

You have to admit, though, a season 3 would kinda be overdoing it.

 

[Nightguything]

I feel Tales in my heart. It might just be my GERD related heartburn, but I feel Tales in my heart.

A Tales character was my most wanted , but I feel pretty confident that the dream is over tbh. Still pretty hype for Kazuya though

 

[Momotsuki]

Kazuya - similarly to Sephiroth, should not have been surprising in immediate hindsight. He just was because we're stupid.

 

[Oracle Link]

I mean even if Link were to die in BotW2, that wouldn't have any effect on the rest of the series. It's a different Link every time unless it's a direct sequel.

Yeah its just im a little scared considering how many franchises move away from Male protagonists
also on a better note Links hair looks great not too long his arm is not as Edgy as orginally planned his new look is a big step up from the Boring Botw 1 look!

 

[pupNapoleon]

Fun fact: Kazuya is the first DLC character since Banjo to not have the "Appears in: X" banner on the website.

Is this the first character to not get his banner addition right away?

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

To be fair we did very much get a remake of an Intelligent Systems game

Very true. Now I'm just wondering if it's the same team or if we'll see something FE maybe next year.

 

[Schnee117]

Sakurai is gonna tell people to buy another system again lol

 

[pupNapoleon]

the entire mishima family are bad people. After tekken 7 even jin's mom is in that group. lol.


also people rooting or hoping for master chief stay strong kaz is here repping 3d fighters and namco and shooters are still missing in action. cant believe i see people turning their noses up at this reveal.

great showing from Nintendo although not even a mention of bayonetta 3 i think something is up with platinum.


tekken 7 will give you the story of the core family of tekken and as a game is mechanically fantastic.

I don't like reading we have no first person shooter reps.

- a complete first person shooter game

 

[Momotsuki]

Yeah its just im a little scared considering how many franchises move away from Male protagonists

Why is a female protagonist a scary concept?

 

[Oracle Link]

Weird how good the Game and watch is 3 Games and a bunch of modes seems like a good deal!
Still sad about no new Zelda actionfigures tho!

 

[DittoInDisguise]

Conspiracy time! Each dlc fighter on the smash website has a color, and each one is similar to another dlc fighter.

PP/PM are both teal/aquamarine type color
Terry/Steve are both bright blue
Bk/MinMin are both yellow
Joker/Kazuya are both red
Byleth/Sephiroth are both very light green (though sephiroth is more of a grey with a very, very slight green tint)
Hero (who is purple) is the only one without a double, and i think we all know who is a purple, first party character that can be the byleth of FP2

That's right, it's Waluigi time!
