It'd be fun hearing how Geno ended up as a shill pick from the haters at that point lol.
I'll be glad Geno is in, but you'd have to threaten my life to convince me to go see a movie by illumination. No thank you good sir.
I mean, I've definitely seen some people who jumped into Smash because x 3rd party character got in. It does indeed work. Probably not enough to jump the sales of the Switch another million, but I believe it does indeed pull more new people than some might think.
Are you sure for Mike Jones ?
Me too, but it's just as likely to be an NES "icon" (imo we're out of those, Ryu Hayabusa is a forced icon at this point since most people probably never even played Ninja Gaiden and fewer still can pronounce it) or yet another left field pick that absolutely no one ever asked for. If we can't give them credit for anything else, they successfully made every DLC slot a total, unpredictable mystery.
Careful, you're stumbling on the weakness of DLC, digital-only and games as a service, there. Nintendo has made statements about how they don't intend to do "game of the year editions" or anything like that, but they did make the Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo expansion an inclusion on physical releases.
Doesnt smash do on-disk dlc that unlocks when you pay up? I'm sure in 200X people will have figured out how to crack all those for preservation.
if that was the case we'd know all the characters already because the original retail version would have had them locked up somewhere on it.
Whenever I think of a Mario Movie by Illumination, I can't help but imagine all the mushroom people running around spouting that minion-style gibberish.
Not at all, no. They're adding them as they go. You can find Joker's, Hero's, and B-K's files in their entirety in Smash Ultimate's cartridge data. Just because they're on-cart unlock DLC doesn't mean that they all have to be programmed in from jump.
Like new copies in stores? The DLC can't update the cartridge itself, can it? What do I even know anymore...
It can't, but it can update the data on the Switch, and that is something people know how to dump. It is all easy to preserve.
Good taste!
Oh that's what you were getting at. Since we were talking so much about the cartridge I was maybe a little bit lost.
Nintendo taking down songs that actually belong to them is par for the course. The reason why the Geno takedowns are interesting is because just like the Banjo and Megalovania remixes, Nintendo doesn't own SMRPG's soundtrack.
Honestly, the difference here is that these are first party tunes, and Nintendo would easily take that down on their own anyway. SMRPG music being taken down by Nintendo, as well as Megalovania and B-K music, is what's odd because that music doesn't belong to them. (SMRPG's music is owned by Yoko and Squeenix, NOT Nintendo, with the only exceptions being music derivative of prior Mario themes.)

Oh, well that makes some sense.
OMG ITS BEAUTIFULThere was a problem fetching the tweetOh yeah, forgot to share this Geno art I whipped up last night. Probably gonna do Mallow next because the M&L art style is WAY too fun. I still want to do an All-Out Attack graphic for Mallow, too. I haven't forgotten!
if this theory turns out to be real and there using songs for characters, would this hint at Agent 8/Octoling from the splatoon sequel to become a playable character?
Or a Mii costume.
I see you, Toy Story reference.There was a problem fetching the tweetOh yeah, forgot to share this Geno art I whipped up last night. Probably gonna do Mallow next because the M&L art style is WAY too fun. I still want to do an All-Out Attack graphic for Mallow, too. I haven't forgotten!
What is this referring to? The SMRPG tracks, or something else?
SMRPG
I definitely wouldn't rule it out. Until Megalovania, I was certain that it was just Youtube algorithm being silly, but now, I'm not so sure. I'd still be willing to lean onto it being algorithm-based, but both B-K music and SPECIFICALLY Megalovania being taken down is suspicious, to say the least.
Exactly! Bayonetta and Corrin's data were in Smash 4's files as early as April of 2015 within the first 2 to 3 weeks when the Smash Ballot started. Even though it didn't say it was them, those files later became Bayonetta and Corrin.
Fans: Ash finally won a league!
I like the fact he won the Orange Islands, because that means his Lapras got a trophy
Perhaps a Smash direct at best since I think Geno is extremely known for Smash specifically.
we sort of need to admit that Geno is a relative nobody. Given that Nintendo didn't expect HUGE HYPE around Banjo, I'd say they only included him at E3 because it's big news for what is now a competitor's property to be in Smash. I expect him to be revealed in a Smash direct, but if he's gonna be used to drum up the fact that even spirits might be upgraded to playable, he could be at this year's VGA.
I didn't even pay attention to this fact. BIG stuff.
She also arranged music for Smash Bros. Brawl, Smash for Wii U, and other songs in Smash Ultimate (like Tetris Theme A, Magicant/Eight Melodies, and Vega's theme), along with the Mario & Luigi series, the Kingdom Hearts games, and Xenoblade Chronicles. She's a prominent composer in general - her involvement likely doesn't mean anything in regards to Geno's chances.
