The average person doesn't even know that Pac-Man has games aside from the old Arcade ones either. lol
What, would you prefer I try to compare Pac-Man to Xenoblade Chronicles?
Not a single thing in this post is factual. All opinionated and subjective. Nothing I say is going to convince you otherwise.
And yet the Namco character majority of people requested for this game was Klonoa.Namco, Sega and Capcom on the Nintendo. Where have I seen this before
Oddly enough said characters don't appear in the game. Closest we got is Mega Man X.
Particular incarnations absolutely do matter when you're arguing for a character's inclusion based on their iconic status. Like I said, I won't be miffed if Pac-Man gets in, but you have to admit that 3D Pac-Man is absolutely nowhere near as iconic as 2D Pac-Man, unlike Mario, Mega Man or Sonic, who are all either iconic in 3D as well or have 3D models for Smash that bear a very close resemblance to their original 2D forms.
Because Klonoa was used in the Namco X Capcom game. So they wanted Klonoa to return for the sequel. (Project X Zone)
Honestly, I'd love to see original Pac-Man be the one we get. I have no idea how they would do it, but if they pulled it off it would be incredible.
NOW we're makin' progress. Good luck with that, buddy. :3
Theres actually a lot to use for limbless Pac-Man. Plus the fact that he's a ball helps him be more unique in the way that he will have super ball style moves.
Thanks. I actually have a small bit of it done on the main Pac-Man thread. I might change a lot of what i've done so far though.
Exactly, just like Megaman! Their iconic games are both decades old, and both franchises still get new releases.
They're Nintendo characters. And this is a game about Nintendo's all-stars and Nintendo's history. They don't need to be icons of all gaming. You shouldn't be comparing Pac-Man to any Nintendo characters really, because the standards for 3rd party and Nintendo characters are not the same. Pac-Man is way more famous and influential than Ike and Falco, but obviously they make the cut long before Pac-Man.
Well, yeah.
Megaman Soccer for SNES. My cousin had it and I loved it!
But here's the thing... Pacman's 3D form is iconic as well.
That is true. It could still be said to be reflecting his design from from the arcade, in a way (of course, if his moves are all from Pac-Man World it's going to seem more like he's representing Pac-Man World).But here's the thing... Pacman's 3D form is iconic as well.
Check out his design on the side of this classic Pacman arcade machine:
Looks pretty close to the 3D Pacman we have now, so it's not like his 3D look strictly belongs to the modern era of his games.
Ummmmm but yeah, then you overreached.
They're Nintendo characters. And this is a game about Nintendo's all-stars and Nintendo's history. They don't need to be icons of all gaming. You shouldn't be comparing Sonic to any Nintendo characters really, because the standards for 3rd party and Nintendo characters are not the same. Sonic is way more famous and influential than G&W and Falco, but obviously they make the cut long before Sonic.
I don't really think Lloyd Irving has any value in modern gaming either... or Ice Climbers.... or G&W.... or R.O.B... yeah. I don't see your point.
Very informative post. My argument still stands though: 3D Pacman isnt solely exclusive to his modern day games. His design has been around since the older days.
and ). I don't see why SSB4 will have any number less than 2.
You pretty much just proved his point with that post. Sonic belongs in a crossover all about Nintendo because he used to be Nintendo's biggest rival, he has much history with Nintendo, despite being a Sega character. Snake is the one who wouldn't fit into that criteria really, and even then he has other reasons to stay in.
Sonic has largely negative history with Nintendo. One could easily argue Pac-Man is more deserving than Sonic based on the bitter rivalry between Nintendo and Sega.
The thing is that these are 3rd party characters. They do NOT need to have history with Nintendo to get in. Sonic was supposed to be the only one in the game. Snake was just a request from a friend as far as I am aware. I wouldn't be surprised if we only got two third party characters in the game. Sakurai should have never even put Sonic in. It just spoils the fans and they want whatever third party character they THINK fits in Smash. Just my 2 cents.
The big fanbase that wanted him in, Sakurai and even Sega don't seem to think so, all the bitterness has been left behind ages ago, it's basically history now, and might aswell make the best of it, aye? It's a testament to two rivals making peace with each other, Sonic is definitely deserving just for that factor alone.
Of course. I mean I would rather have a Dragon Ball Z (3rd party) character in the game in the game in my honest opinion (we might be getting Frieza fused with Superbuu... her name is Majin Mewbuu). That isn't the point of the thread though. The point of the thread is to discuss how epic it would be if these video game behemoths all went up against each other in a battle royale. There is no doubting any of their iconic statuses. They are simply known by almost everyone who has ever played a video game.
