Same here!
Definitely considered them a pipe-dream character though. But then again, Blaster Master is always one of the first games when they decide to release virtual console or NES games on a new platform. If we get a new classic rep, let it be him... please?
BM could be the best retro rep they've added yet if the don't screw it up. I would be very interested to see him try.

Ooooohhh shiiit

Alright, I'm convinced Geno is getting in. Not a huge fan of him myself, but that looks too well timed to be a coincidence.

Oh nah, I was joking around rofl. I just think that the dates align because Nintendo wants to bring in more hype stuff on that day, nothing to do with Smash. KSS and Star Fox 2 are pretty dang hype additions, after all. Now, the SNES Classic is almost, in terms of game content that's tougher to get elsewhere itself, useless... and will be once SMRPG is on NSO. :yoshi:

Earthbound: Am I a joke to you?

Also can't hack Nintendo Switch Online to have every game in the SNES library so I'm still happy with my purchase of a SNES mini.

Kirby Super Star coming to Switch on the day of the VGAs

Sakurai tweeted out pictures from a Kirby Cafe

I think we all know what that means

Character 5 is Kirby

Too random

I’m sorry for asking but at this point in the game I need to know, is a Sony character deconfirmed yet? Sackboys my most wanted and he’s the last one out of my top 30 that hasn’t been deconfirmed or deemed very unlikely based on evidence, and I just need to know if he’s out the game too.
If sony isnt in the deconfirmations recap list, then sony hasnt been deconfirmed yeah. At least vergeben hasnt said anything about sony, nor sabi has given any new deconfirmation from his other source. NoA guy hasnt mentioned sony either so far.

On a more serious note I noticed that every new sneso game is one from the list that leaked/datamined back in January that was surprisingly absent at launch, even somthing more out there like breath of fire 2 and star fox 2. If this was intentional it means our next batch could look something like this.

Popin twinbee
Contra 3
Super ghouls and ghosts
Legend of the mystical ninja

What would you all think about that?

Geno being Fighter 5 would be quite a cool way to end the Fighter Pass.

Honestly, I could totally see Nintendo pulling some **** like this. Not counting on it but it's so in tune with the cheeky stuff that they do in almost literally every presentation since the Switch launched.
I personally... could? Maybe? I just know 99% it wouldn't happen rofl. Realistically, Geno's chances in the pass are next to nothing, if not just... nothing. I'm banking on post-pass.

Fighter 5 is actually just an assist trophy. All of its smashes and specials are a different assist trophy character popping out of it and doing their signature move. All jabs and tilts are a pokeball. Not the pokemon in it, just a pokeball.

I don’t mind if Sora is in. He seems like a neat addition to Smash and would make a lot of fans happy as he’s highly requested. As long as he doesn’t come in with Geno’s costume. Imagine the ****posting if that happens. I would also prefer Geno gets in before Sora.

Hey, I'm back. Which means Geno is already in. In all seriousness.. the longer it's absent, the more I feel like SMRPG coming along with Geno is beginning to make sense. While I'm a little hesitant to actually get behind ideas even when the details seem to be lining up, the idea does seem to make sense, at least on some level. SMRPG has been a pretty consistent big-seller - not nearly as niche as some people seem to treat it. Case in point - it was included with the SNES classic, which means it was considered a big enough deal to make the conscious decision to have it built into every unit produced, which I feel is a step up in honor from being a virtual console game that people might download. Which makes it seem a little odd that we haven't seen it yet. Either something's planned for it in particular, or Nintendo is Nintendoing again, which they've been doing a little less in recent years, if I'm not mistaken.

Somewhere... overthinking something

The idea of a character being pushed back honestly kills me. We were told that Joker supposedly wasn't decided to be at the VGAs until last October and "Brave" was already in the game's code at launch but not added until basically August. Who, damnit, WHO?! If we continue my conga line of deconfirmations of names heard by insiders, I guess I'd probably give equal footing to Waluigi or Sol. I dunno. I also have a weird feeling it could be something totally unexpected like Diablo or something.

I haven't had a high opinion of Kingdom Hearts since the second one, but ultimately I can't say I would mind much if he gets in, and I unfortunately can't argue that he doesn't stand a chance. It's literally a matter of when he gets in or what costumes he comes with. If Sora gets announced at the VGAs, it's going to be a rough ride until January when we see what mii costumes he comes with. If he doesn't come with a Geno costume that's the ball game, the haters will have to shut their mouths. If he does, that's also the ball game, and we'll have to shut ours. This is the true reason I ****ing hate Sora.

Geno getting in for promote a SMRPG release would be a bad idea.
Why would that be a bad idea, exactly?

SMRPG is not really that big, adding a character just for promote the rerelease of a 23 years old game in NSO is a horrible idea for a promo pick, as Nintendo wouldn't get much profit, and Geno is a literal who for anyone outside the Smash and Mario RPG fandoms, so he wouldn't fare well for casuals and mostly of fandoms, if anything Geno would fit more as base game character.

I'm honestly split on that drama that happened last night and I don't know whom to believe but whatever until otherwise my stance is that everyone makes mistakes and we're all human. If Fatman did lie multiple times I hope he stops to realize that only hurts us more than helps us but that's only if he lied and I don't know if he did or not. Last time I said he did it turns out he didn't so this may just be another case of that.

Whatever though we all make mistakes and Fatman is only human so no matter the case Happy Birthday Fatmanonice Fatmanonice I hope your birthday improves after what happened last night regardless of if you were in the right or not drama like this happening on someones birthday is unfortunate timing.

If Geno wore a dress, do you think he'd prefer something poofy and elaborate like Peach, or something a bit more flowy and elegant like Rosalina?

Okay so which one of you clowns wrote this:

https://venturebeat.com/2019/12/04/nintendo-doesnt-add-super-mario-rpg-to-switch-online-snes-games/

From the article:
"Super Nintendo
Star Fox 2 — The lost sequel to the Super Nintendo’s beloved polygonal shooter. The publisher first brought it back for the Super Nintendo Classic Edition. It is not Super Mario RPG.
Super Punch-Out — The sequel to Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out and one of the best game for Super Nintendo. It is not Super Mario RPG.
Kirby Super Star — One of Kirby’s best games. It is not Super Mario RPG.
Breath of Fire II — A role-playing adventure that is decidedly not Super Mario RPG.

NES
Crystalis — It’s Super Mario RPG! Oh, wait. No. I’m being told it’s not. But Crystalis is still a really good take on the action RPG.
Journey to Silius — A run-‘n’-gun shooter that isn’t Super Mario RPG."

Goodness. This is the first time in all of history someone has told us this. I guess we'll have to pack it up, because there's absolutely no way that a lesser known character can gain traction and become even more popular and beloved from smash inclusion :4lucas:

I'm in a mood to bite, but I warn you, I'm a big fish.

I'm not going to get into whether or not SMRPG is "that big" or about how that doesn't matter when Banjo and Terry are in as DLC. Speaking of which, did Nintendo get much profit out of Sakurai straight faced telling people to play Banjo Kazooie on the damn Xbox?

So glad you've used 2 of your 12 posts here to tell us something we have definitely, definitely never, ever, ever even considered before. Wow. Your cunning insight sure is appreciated. We'll just have to give up because Nintendo only picks promotional picks like Banjo & Kazooie.

Seriously dude, if that's all you have to say just go away because we've heard it before.
