What would they be hinting towards about Luigi's Mansion? We pretty much know everything and it's only coming out in a couple of months. Unless Luigi's Mansion 3 gets DLC or something I don't really see that as a plausible theory and I don't really think Luigi's Mansion would work well with DLC to be completely honest.
This gives me hope. I figured that was still going strong, because if it wasn't, you would let us know if anything came up for it.
I’m honestly very happy to hear that the Sabi source that mentioned Geno awhile ago didn’t somehow get found out and ****canned after the whole E3 leak debacle. I’m keeping my expectations tempered just because a third character announcement so soon just feels very unlikely but if it is Geno related I’m going to lose my ****.
Yo! What's up Noipoi? How've you been bud? Also yeah we've been pretty busy.
So it's still very much alive? Thank god cause that's one of the few things that is keeping my hopes alive if just a little bit. Also let me get this straight Jon from GameXplain heard of Geno too? Cause if so that is really good for us.
None of the picture hints have been anywhere near that intricate so I doubt this. One was a crab because it’s one of the first things you see in Link’s Awakening and the other was a picture of a bear and a bird and additionally a cartoon witch.
That's... Actually a good point... He's never given us hints about stuff we've already known about. His picture hints have always been for totally unannounced games except when its Smash related.
Probably not. Keep in mind that this source literally works for Nintendo so his info is exclusively for first and second party games. Castlevania is owned by Konami.

just a quick question. Maybe you know, maybe you don't. Did the NOA source know about The Hero? Did he know the identity or did that one elude them? Of course this was around when Sabi for C&D so maybe they didn't get anything. But I am curious.
I have to wonder what the point would be for dropping hints relating to something that's well and truly expected at this point. and outside of the geno-sphere, people aren't really interested in hints relating to mii costumes. I'd have to think, that even if it doesn't relate to geno, it should relate to something a little more major.
If he did he didn't "publically" share it. I have my suspicions that he knew and only told Sabi back in April because he kind of had a "step into my office, please" moment in the Discord and then later Sabi came back eluding that they had gotten big news from them but couldn't share it. I also noticed that around this time that there was a noticeable uptick in her confidence in a DQ character. Also, based on the way he regularly talked about the topic, I think he knew but I can't confirm and, unfortunately, Sabi can't come in here herself to clarify because of the C&D.Hey
Which hint though? Did Nintendo release some kind of a picture or something? Was there a trailer for something I missed?
I can almost assure you that this source wouldn’t jerk everyone around to hint at a mii costume reveal to a group of Geno fans. He is in fact a really nice guy that knows most of the Geno fanbase wouldn’t be content with a return of the costume.
-Sabi's main Nintendo source dropped a picture hint this weekend. He only does this if a Direct is on the horizon. This happened on the 13th.
Source on that? It'd be interesting if Sakurai wanted to share details on Hero himself, given Joker, a character he was insanely hyped to make, wasn't even presented by him.

: this honestly wouldn't surprise me and we even volleyballed this idea in the Discord a while back. For most cultures around the world, including Japan, August is the definitive summer month, mostly because this is when most people take their big vacations for the yeae. We got a Smash Direct in August last year. Shulk was announced in August 2014. Back in Brawl, Ike was literally announced August 1st 2007, being the first newcomer that had been announced in over a year. That said, August is no big stranger to Smash announcements and it does technically fall in the time frame of Jon's otter posting.
Fascinating. I agree that the timing would be ideal for a smash direct, especially considering the precedent set by Smash 4. That's said, if we got one, I imagine that it would completely cover Hero's kit along with his release right after. If we're lucky, we might get more details about B-K, and then things could end off with the reveal of DLC#4. That would be my dream scenario anyway. I've been reading some of the speculatory reddits on the subject and so far, if we are to assume that the starling is related to Smash, the two running theories are that the bird would represent either Geno or Edelgard from the new Fire emblem game. I'm obviously bias toward Geno, but some have also tried to refute Edelgard on the grounds that the game is too new to get representation. I feel that Corrin would be an easy counter to that argument, but still, I hope it's Geno. I think we've got plenty of FE characters at the moment. Let's get some much anticipated new blood in here.
Very interesting, thanks fo the update. If that rumor is still in play, then I think my estimation of Geno’s chances have been lower than what they may be in reality. I do remember Jon not so subtly hinting about Geno back in November as well and GameXplain using Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms during a DLC segment after the final direct. It just seemed like the Seven Squares and the amount of info coming out about Erdrick and DQ overshadowed the Geno rumor in NoA to the point where it just kinda faded away. Even Jon expressed his doubts about Geno in a later video, so I figured that was that. It’s great to hear that information is still ongoing, especially considering the quality of Sabi and Jon’s sources. No guarantees for sure, but just like Banjo, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. *Fingers Crossed*
It would be cool to see Rivali come back in BOTW2.
I mean, a hypothetical direct could say Hero out now and then show off Geno at the end. That way it'd be 2 out and 2 known. I do think it's a bit early for that considering it's only July and we have until February 2020 for all 5 characters, but it COULD happen...
That's why I personally believe that, if this somehow relates to Geno or a Smash character at all, it'll be some kind of bonus to go along with Hero or some other thing. Could also be a free character addition, which would make sense for Geno, a character people believed would make it into base roster (who, in fact, has a spirit in base).

I forgot to ask ya, my man, but how did you learn that it was a European starling? Was it in the file name of the image he sent or something? If that's the case, that makes it feel that much more deliberate.
I don't know if Geno would be a bonus though- Banjo already has the next number in line. It seems more that Geno would be in the Fighters Pass or announced to come out after the pass was done as a bonus, but that doesn't make sense to me without knowing who else is in the Pass.
Unless they decided to pull a Corrin with him, making it just the character and some music. Technically there's no hard rule that all the characters have to be part of the pass, especially since Mrs. Plant wasn't. Plus, with the Mii costumes, we already know that the Fighters Pass isn't the definitive end all of all the payable DLC we're getting.
