Hey that's cheating! That's the cutesy spin-off RPG version! lol
It's not really a question of one or another just because they're both fighters. As long as Punch-Out Wii happened and was a success, Little Mac probably would've found his way onto the roster no matter what.
Which is exactly what he'd look like as a Mii costume.
I was thinking they would pick one or the other since they both appeal mostly to American audiences. Of course there's not really any way of knowing that. It's just my guess.
Fair enough. It probably wouldn't look quite so cuddly, but it is a good approximation.
I see. Well, when it comes to first-parties, I doubt they'd put some cap on how many western-skewing series they'd be willing to include if they were successful. I'd imagine they'd want all their most successful (feasible) series in there.
Bit late on the draw there, mate. We already discussed this.
Sakurai plays around with dev tools all the time. Remember when multiple Snakes had the same alt? Or as other people said, it can be from an early build. I doubt this means anything. There isn't any reason why Sakurai would tease an update in a random picture of the day.
Oh my God, they are gonna bring back Charizard?? Guess we're getting a Sword and Shield rep after all.
On it's own, no. But if it's a harbinger to getting some of the other missing stages into Ultimate, then that is pretty exciting.
Pokemon Trainer's Echo is JUST Charizard, now with Gigantamax Final Smash? Sounds good to me.
You can think whatever you want, but there's no need to be that rude and immature about it.
You're a bit late since it's already been talked about.
To me it sounded more like they were angry than rude. It definitely seems like the only reason they were acting so aggressive is because people complain about FE when there are characters like Ninten getting requested. While they shouldn’t have said it the way they did, the reason they get showered in likes would be because they’re right.
If that is really the case, there's no reason to use literally the same arguments against a character you don't like, yes?
>Sakurai would never give Ninten a redesi--

I don't care if they're right or not, it's an opinion, people can agree or disagree, but it's not cool to see so many people tolerate that kind of behavior.
There are reasons to use the same arguments against a character you don’t like. It’s to prove a point. I can’t speak for the original poster, but for me, it’s not even not liking Ninten. It’s just not liking the fact that people request an actual clone and then complain about characters that do play differently just because they have a sword.
So basically... the "point" is that the character would absolutely, with 100% chance, be a clone with nothing original and people shouldn't want them while disliking FE because it's hypocritical?
The “point” is closer to Lucina is more dissimilar to Chrom than Ninten could ever be to Ness. They get angry over blue hair, but ask for identical characters.
I would cut Zelda from that, he pretty much specified that her design is from the AL(ttp/bW)>Sakurai would never give Ninten an original redesi--
* Palutena was originally given that redesign in Brawl before Uprising and Smash 4.
He confirmed in one of his interviews that it was a mix between her look from A Link to the Past and A link Between Worlds.
Making an argument that doesn't make sense doesn't make you smarter than other people who use it, if anything it makes you just as wrong. And it just serves to upset people who see the argument for what it is.
There are much more respectful ways to make that point, which would lead to actual debate over the matter. For one, I'd argue (like CJBrine and others have attempted) that similarities between Ninten and Ness are overstated. And also, and I can't stress this enough, you can't just take the fanbase of any character you dislike and pretend they're all and only FE haters. That's called a strawman. For all you know Ninten fans are actually sympathetic to FE fans as they too are constantly refuting the notion that their character is redundant.
Then shame on you for leaving out Ridley, Simon, Wolf, and anyone who isn't actually original but if a mishmash is good enough then welcome everyone.
CutieGwen said something inflammatory so we have a small fire. Not too much to note. I think it's out now.
They actually could make Ninten unique (could being the key word). All of Earthbound's protagonists are healing/support characters, and Ninten could reflect this with abilities like PSI Shield and...I don't know Ninten's PSI list offhand.
Peach's design is just Peach, but with more detail. I'm not sure that counts as a redesign. I believe Sheik draws on an unused design, though I could be mistaken for that.>Sakurai would never give Ninten an original redesi--
* Palutena was originally given that redesign in Brawl before Uprising and Smash 4.
That was the case with Brawl/4. Ultimate's is based on the stealth armor from BoTW.
That was the design I was referring to. I didn't know if that was some sort of common misinformation though. Stuff like that tends to be.
I'm sure I missed out some, I was debating myself whether or not to include Daisy into this as well in case I'd get any comments of her essentially just having her head pasted over Peach's model and recoloured....
It's still a redesign through and through, she got more realistic proportions too compared to her mainline Mario appearances where she looks a lot more cartoony and stylized, proportion and design wise.
The dress is different though so by your logic it is one. I personally don't think it counts but I don't have the time to argue and it's not that important anyway. I will say though, that almost every character with a redesign in the game does so to pull pieces from their other redesigns. Ninten has never been officially redesigned so it's unlikely he'd receive one now.
He has that design from his game's commercial they could take elements from.
Didn't know that. So long as it's substantial enough they'll likely use that so they're not quizzing people on which one wears their hat brim on the left or which one has the scarf instead of backpack.
Cause Rex effectively got Smash 4 Chrom’d with said costume. Plus, Xenoblade 2 would have been too old to use Rex to promote it, but if Xenoblade X got a Definitive Edition, or even if she appeared in Xenoblade DE, Elma would be back into the spotlight.
