Nah, no chance, in my opinion, he's that kind of character who's either a playable character or not in the game at all (just like Dixie Kong, Bandana Waddle Dee, Isaac). If one of these characters ends up as an AT, the backlash would be insane because it wouldn't make any sense (Waluigi is not a counter example since he wasn't that popular at the end of 2015).
Geno being in Smash and Nintendo getting the full rights for Geno? That would just be icing on the cake.Havent been here too much in the last weeks , but I still want geno in
And yes, he'd get along with Rosalina for sure. She'd praise him for his starry service with SE, and then say it's time to come back (and then bam Nintendo has the copyrights back).. well, indulge me XD
That's an awesome find. It makes me way happier than it should.Btw, during all that Geno's relation to Rosalina discussion, I found this great art of the two on Know Your Meme.

Kinda makes you really hope they do interact.
And it's like 2 days old as well! I think all of us have seen the same Geno art circulating around for a long time, so it is always great to see new art of such high quality, especially when it relates to recent discussion.
Come on, you can do it, Nintendo!
I do think that Nintendo employee's are more than willing to do stuff like that(Kirby is an obvious example, but other properties like Splatoon show it's more than just Kirby doing it), it's just that there is one problem. Miyamoto. Now, I think we can all say that Miyamoto's philosophy has it's place and value, as it is the value that brought us many great games. But it's clear that Miyamoto has gotten to stubborn with it, and that has led to less then stellar games in recent years. There was once a time where he was seen as a a developer god who could do no wrong, but now... Well, we still love the guy and appreciate all he has done, but there is gonna be times now whee he is gonna have to step back. Heck, Nintendo's new president pretty much introduced himself by saying that the older figures of the company like Miyamotto would not have as much overbearing control over the teams.Y'know, it kinda bums me out to think that the Mario development staff probably doesn't even think about these kinds of connections, like Rosalina and Geno...I mean, their comments about Toad and other lore I've heard from them are usually like "Oh yeah, well...it could totally be like that!", rather than them actually geeking out about their own work like we do.
Miyamoto especially seems to foster this kind of attitude, what with how he put down Rosa's backstory when they actually tried to create some lore for once. It's nothing like HAL, who you can tell delights in sneaking every bit of hidden continuity into Kirby that they can; you can see it in their Miiverse posts and Switch articles. It sucks, because the Geno/Rosa connection is one that just makes so much sense, without having to say why.
That said, I will be thrilled if they actually do put the two together in Smash.
Yeah, Miyamoto has done a bang up job at crippling any attempt at development Mario games have made in recent years. It's like he is incapable of visualizing a world where people like more complex Mario characters and stories. We lost Paper Mario and Rosalina to his requests that these sorts of things change to fit the vision he sees. Those are some pretty universally loved pieces of Mario that have been shot down by the man himself, for not terribly compelling reasons other than his own sense of Mario being gameplay oriented. It'd be one thing if those entries were universally hated, but that's far from the truth.Y'know, it kinda bums me out to think that the Mario development staff probably doesn't even think about these kinds of connections, like Rosalina and Geno...I mean, their comments about Toad and other lore I've heard from them are usually like "Oh yeah, well...it could totally be like that!", rather than them actually geeking out about their own work like we do.

I find Sakurai intresting as a developer, and how he has gone about Ultimate specifically. I agree with a lot of points in this video, so give it a watch.
That's my headcanon. She's the one who sent Geno on his quest and is actually a Luma.rosalina secretly is the higher authority
Everyone wanted them so badly, despite their constant rejections. But Sakurai pulled through and made them possible. Just shows how dedicated the man truly is to making Smash Ultimate the ULTIMATE Smash.
It’s all coming together, it’s starting to make sense nowrosalina secretly is the higher authority
This hits way closer to home at times than I'd like to admit.....It’s all coming together, it’s starting to make sense now
Me, currently piecing all of this evidence and headcanon together:

Very good points, guys. I think it really is time for Miyamoto to step back a bit, and let the newer staff start working in the continuity they clearly want to, as evidenced by Splatoon and even ARMS (which, as well pointed out, are filled with lore and are obviously not hated or commercial flops.) Mario Odyssey's world map came SO close to providing real cohesion, and just the thought that Isle Delfino was meant to be on it gets my lore senses tingling. I want it all to connect--I wanna know where all the locales are in relation to each other, where Evershade Valley is, see the SMRPG world worked in...all of it.
Oh, and I missed my chance to say it before, but I actually understand exactly how you feel about the splash screen. I had actually been planning to make a similar post. It's unnerving because it can easily be interpreted as positive or negative in equal measure. I feel the splash screen is a boon about 80% of the time at least, so that's good. If it pops into your head as a positive more often than negative, then we should be all right. It's okay to have a little doubt.
If Mallow were an Assist, I think he'd be one of those characters that could do diffrent things; Thunderbolt on opponents or use HP Rain on the summoner.
It's funny, as the person who produced Super Mario Odyssey was the same guy who made Rosalina's storybook. And it's not unlike him to sprinkle in a bunch of stuff like that. I actually did not know much about the guy beyond that, but I just learned he was basically responsible for making the Zelda lore as well as the story for Majora's Mask.
Same. Especially Ridley with the whole "too big" situation, but with Sakurai changing his mind in the end and making him smaller just because of the fans (which is truly amazing).
Ahhh, that explains it, then!
Seems like Mario will be in good hands from now on. I like this guy.Koizumi said:
Definitely, but I hope he will be able to direct a game next time rather than be a producer. It would definitely give him a lot more freedom. If I recall, the last game he directed was Super Mario Galaxy, which was over a decade ago!
Why would that happen? Things are fine, cloud made it in from the get-go, and my guess is we could get both another SE rep as well as Geno. might seem like pushing it to some, but I think it's pretty possible
He is not taking any chances. It's first place or nothing.
CONGRATS ON 2000 POSTS TEEB!I actually haven't looked much for Geno art. I bet there's some good stuff out there, but I'd like for some more of them to take liberties, maybe with some cooler capes than just the default blue, or beyond
Lovely art. Glad the artist added their signature, cuz I was able to find the source. And they sure do draw lots of Geno.Browsing through the gallery of know your meme, I came across this masterpiece:

This is a reality that needs to happen.
