Thanks for the info! I’ve kinda lurked for ages. Always pulling for the doll.
Also updated my about page on Era so y’all know I’m on the up and up.
I appreciate the transparency. Um... Yeah... For Geno there's a lot so as to not scare you off I'll recap the main things that have happened specifically this year (2020) that we've paid attention to:
-SMRPG Remake/Remaster/Sequel rumors are heard by multiple people including myself (April). Rumor goes public thanks to Rogersbase months later (August).
-Spirits confirmed to not deconfirm (June)
-Paper Mario spirits added, arguably knocking down the chances of one of Geno's biggest competitors (August)
-Trials of Mana and Octopath Traveler spirits. Square Enix, Capcom, and Arc Systems are so far the only third parties (outside indies) to get special spirit events.
-SMRPG still missing from the NSO. Literally only one of three major first party SNES games still missing.
-Geno Mii costume still MIA.
-Lots of notable insiders like Jeff Grubb, Imran Khan, Andre Seger, etc talking up Geno over the summer (July)
-Mario 35th anniversary. Announcements and events that were supposed to happen in September are now happening in December. Except June, every month has had a major Mario announcement or retail release so it bodes well for December.
-Steve and Minecraft in Smash came true. First heard in the summer of 2018 but later wrongly dismissed as leakbait even by Microsoft ambassadors. Geno was first heard around this time period.
-Speaking of 2018, lots of 2018 rumors finally coming to fruition this year: TWEWY 2 (thanks to you), Pikmin 3 Deluxe, 3D World Deluxe, Skyward Sword HD (retail leak), Persona 5 Scramble, etc.
-Gamestop screw up in July. Person in video wrongfully said Geno was in Smash. Unknown at this time if human error or an actual leak.
I think this is all the main things in 2020 so far.
