I think Shulk's reveal was also a pretty strong one too*. Xenoblade Chronicles may be more niche than other franchises, but it had enough die hard fans in other regions to warrant a localization. That's nothing to sneeze at, especially for such a dialogue heavy game.
I actually will be legitimately surprised if Nintendo is really going out of their way to make everyone hate this new Fighter's Pass.
She also happened to be paired with what many consider to be the worst reveal in the history of the franchise. Not to mention that while I like Bayonetta and think she should be in the game, having the ballot winner be a third party character Nintendo just so happened to already be publishing on Wii U, especially now that we know that Snake and certain other characters did better than her according to Sakurai, might not have been the best way to end things. In hindsight the fact that Sakurai was outright asked to do Ultimate by Iwata while he was still working on DLC and that he went all in on making Ultimate focusing more on the ballot, what fans wanted, and fixing Smash 4's issues makes that alot more bearable.
Jokes aside, I'd legitimately be surprised if we get another Fire Emblem character. Period. There's no real reason for Nintendo to want to add one. A Pokémon is plausible, but a Fire Emblem character? No way.I actually will be legitimately surprised if Nintendo is really going out of their way to make everyone hate this new Fighter's Pass.
Well, it's very unlikely we're getting another FE game anytime soon, so I think Pokemon is all people have to worry about.
I've talked about this before but I legitimately wonder if Nintendo thought about adding Sylux as the promotional pick in Pass 1 but it got taken off the table after Prime 4 got restarted. Him not having a Spirit is extremely weird, especially given he is confirmed to play a major part in Prime 4 based on the endings of Prime 3 and Federation Force. We'll just have to see how things play out.
We've never had a Pokemon newcomer as DLC.I actually will be legitimately surprised if Nintendo is really going out of their way to make everyone hate this new Fighter's Pass.
There's always an first time and its not out of the realm of possibility of promoting an Gen 8 Pokemon.
What is the downside here?
There's no downside to this. I'd let my least wanted in for this.
TBF it kind of did? Persona got in, there are three new ATs (Knuckles, Rodin, Akira), and Bayonetta got an expanded number of Spirits (as compared to the number of trophies the series had in 4). Then again, it wasn't much - the new Sonic content was basically Knuckles, a couple new songs and an additional reminder that Forces exists (Infinite's Spirit).
I disagree.
was released December 15th, 2015 and Bayonetta 2 was released in September / October 2014. That's probably enough time to assess "Hey, this game is a critical darling!" and further convince Nintendo's head honchos (and probably Sakurai) that she had a good claim to a DLC spot even if one takes out the ballot as a factor.
I wouldn't bet on a Metroid Prime 4 character. The game started it's development last year, and while it's plausible for development to finish by 2021, it is a huge toss up.
I've said this before, but there's no way Nintendo would be tone deaf enough to try and get people hyped on a remake that literally just started development by giving them a character they have made clear they don't want.
Fans: "GIVE US ANOTHER ZELDA CHARACTER SAKURAI, IT'S BEEN NINETEEN YEARS!"
I'm really looking forward to playing Royal too!
It'd probably go like this:
Yes... my point was that it's not comparable.
It's obviously Leif time baybeeeeee, finally in after getting his slot stolen two times
How would you react if we got Sigurd instead?
The only acceptable Fire Emblem character is Isaac from Golden Sun.
What Nintendo/Sakurai thought of Bayonetta's game doesn't really matter. They presented the ballot as if it would influence Smash 4's DLC. In reality, it had absolutely no effect on which characters we got, as they had already made a decision when the ballot was announced.I disagree.
My main reason why is because we got the glorious moment where Sakurai shook his head.
Seriously though, I don't get the impression 4 had the same kind of DLC deadline Ultimate's Passes had. We should remember that
I'd be surprised.
Sakurai will finally listen to fans and add an F-Zero character who fights with glowing tennis balls and forks.
We'll have to wait and see what characters are in the game. There's a good chance the non-Hylian species will return, so hopefully we'll get some Zora, Rito, and Goron characters that have a decent role in the game.
Day 1 main. No idea who that is, but the part about the fork sold me on that pitch.
Here I am hoping Sega as a whole gets anything new in this pass since it's their anniversary this year.
While presenting Bayo as the ballot DLC winner seems wonky indeed, we have to remember the ballot's very criteria was not fully explained and Nintendo's official statement implied Bayo was the top "realizable" pick (IIRC) - which wasn't fully explained.
Well I'm convinced!
If i remember correctly from Chronobound's posts around Smash 4 pre-release days, i remember him saying Sigurd was popular in the Pre-Brawl days...............but for the wrong reasons.
Why would the ARMS rep not be Spring Man but we still get an AT promoted?
Why did you expect two mario reps and a gen 8 pokemon, they're not joining the FP2 to me.
Probably, but I'm sure people will start making some dumb theories that they're all correlated whenever another one gets revealed. In fact, let's do it NOW!
