Which makes this so weird, as if Nintendo's focusing on DMC specifically. I'm allowed to be a conspiracy theorist for once in DLC specualtion but Itsuno going "Get DMC on the Switch before you ask for Dante in Smash", 3 getting new exclusive features and the decision to ask feedback on it? Oh yeah, it's all coming together
Is it perhaps its not Nintendo focusing on it? But DMC's developers?
right off the heels of the moveset i posted last page, i say get edward falcon in there to rep arena fighters
Pretty much any fighting game can be seen as an arena fighter if you stretch (pun DEFINITELY intended) hard enough.
Puzzle games: Arle Nadja (Would also fittingly enough be the first Match-3 character)
Metroid Prime is a First Person action adventure series, Not a shooter.Technically Dark Samus originated in a First Person Shooter and Dark Pit from a Third Person Shooter
Wario debuted in Super Mario Land 2 and then had a playable debut in Wario Land so he originates from a platformer, regardless of Wario Ware.
It's also part FPS seeing as you're in first person, and shooting as a part of the core gameplay loop.
I'll let that pass, but I'm gonna have a hard time accepting that Banjo isn't a platformer.
can't wait for mr sakurai presents ARMS in the last week of june
His debut game within his own series is a collectathon platformer so I'd say that counts more toward what genre he belongs to than his appearance in Diddy Kong Racing.
You don't call Legend of Zelda a hack and slash just because it features slicing enemies with a sword right? There's more to Metroid Prime than just shooting. It features a lot of exploration and solving puzzles like the Zelda series so it's more or less an First Person action adventure series like Zelda.
Platforming isn't a central part to Banjo & Kazooie. The game is more about exploring to find collectables so it's more of an action adventure type game. Sure there are times where you need to jump but it's not the defining feature of the game unlike the Mario series.
No. The mechanics are much different from a hack 'n slash.
I don't know which alternate dimension you're from, but saying Metroid Prime is not a shooter is really missing the target... Take away the shooting, and it becomes a 3D first person puzzler that is nothing like the original. Shooting is a KEY component of the series. Yes there's puzzles, and platforming, and games aren't limited to one thing, but ignoring the shooting part is like saying Metroid is the same as Amnesia, Dear Esther, or Antichamber... They share elements, but it's otherwise heretical to say the shooting aspect of Metroid doesn't make it stand out masively from those.
Ooh! Cinematic Rush Attack.
Yeah but it's not the central part of Metroid Prime as it features more than just shooting enemies to progress unlike an actual First Person Shooter. Metroid prime is a First person Action Adventure series which is what i'm getting at.
I'm not ignoring the shooting part. I'm saying there is more to Metroid Prime than just Shooting so it makes it a First person Action Adventure game rather than just a First Person Shooter.
It's not a platformer because Jumping from platform to platform isn't all you do in Banjo & Kazooie. In Mario games, everything revolves around you jumping so that makes it a platformer. Banjo & Kazooie encourages you to explore the worlds and collect jiggies so it makes it an action adventure game.
Ooof at the quality of the image but at least we can see who they are.
like i said in the social, cool listIt took me some time to get this done, but I finally have a visual representation of my predictions for Fighter Pass 2. I'm gonna post my picture and following suit will try to go a bit in-depth about my choices and why I feel they could potentially happen:
>Min Min seems to be someone who would please a good amount of Arms fans, and with her kicking attacks she seems like an easy Arms character to get added. Her Mii costumes would be associated with fighting games and Arms (Heihachi, Max Brass and Helix. With Ori being a Deluxe Mii costume).
>Considering the possibility of Min Min getting added, I can imagine Sakurai opening the gates for spirit/assist trophy promotions at least for one pick in the past. My picture shows Geno, Waluigi and Rayman but It could easily be any other Spirit or assist. The Mii would be related to assist and spirits too (Mallow, Bomberman, Pauline and Shovel Knight).
>Now, the SEGA reps. This year marks the 60th's anniversary of the company. And with the great relationship between Nintendo and SEGA since the Gamecube days, what better way to take part in the celebration than by getting a new SEGA character in Smash? I personally believe SEGA and the Smash team would go for either Sakura (due to the impact of Sakura Wars and the Saturn in japanese pop culture), Axel Stone (for a classic retro SEGA pick) or Kyryu (due to the worldwide success and popularity of Yakuza). For Mii costumes I decided to go with SEGA characters who tend to be acknowledged frequently on official SEGA crossovers (Billy Hatcher, Ulala, Alex Kidd and Beat). I personally find the inclussion of an Alex Kidd costume reasonable as he was one of the original SEGA faces.
>I also believe we are getting a new Square Enix pick. My choices are Sephiroth due to his status as one of gaming's biggest villains, Crono because of the cult following the franchise has and Neku for that reason and also because of Nomura's current importance in the company.
For Mii costumes I actually consider the fun possibility of Sakurai doing Sans-style designs of the FFVII cast based on their PS1 models + the Chocobo hat, probably using them as a way to include some new FFVII tracks alongside.
>Capcom is the big name in speculation and for all the fair reasons. They have been supporting the Switch strongly since launch and have a healthy relationship with the Big N. I expect Dante or Phoenix Wright from them since they currently are their biggest characters besides Resident Evil ones.
For Mii costumes I went with Four popular Capcom characters in crossovers (Bison, Arthur, Maya and Viewtiful Joe).
>Finally, I expect Sakurai to end the pass on a big note. As such, I expect them to add the before-believed never-evers such as Master Chief and Steve. For me there would be no better way to end the potential last batch of Smash DLC made by Sakurai with such important and internet-breaking choices. For Mii costumes I went with some Rareware and Minecraft characters (Rash, Conker, Zombie and Enderman).
And that's basically It, I will end by tagging some cool people who I would love to see checking out this post:
Looks good! I'm not familiar with all of the characters in the line-up (I'm aware of who Neku, Sakura, and Axel are, but I have no idea what they can do or how they'd play), but the ones that I am familiar with seem like great choices. I haven't played much of Yakuza (just Yakuza Zero, and I'm not very far into it), but Kiryu seems like he'd be a lot of fun to play as in Smash given his various brawling styles and being able to pick up random objects to use as weapons (and the stages would be great).It took me some time to get this done, but I finally have a visual representation of my predictions for Fighter Pass 2.

Completely agree with the Lara Croft and Phantasy Star comments.

You're correct in saying that a game is more than the sum of its parts. However, if those parts are signifigant enough within the game, they count towards the game's genre since the whole point of the genre classification is to let potential players know what the game is going to be like before they even see gameplay. If a game doesn't wholly fit in one genre, than it has to have more than one in order to achieve this purpose.
Gonna take that in mind the next time I try to do something similar!
I have my doubts on how likely this is, especially with the pass ending on a bang (I reject the notion that all reveal cycles end on an actively disappointing note, but the more universal hook line and sinker picks are usually at the beginning and then peter out from there). I wouldn't hate it if this is how it went though, especially if we got Crono.It took me some time to get this done, but I finally have a visual representation of my predictions for Fighter Pass 2.

I think the only time we may get a double dip on a 3rd party company is if there's very high demand for a particular character that seems possible to license. I can argue Sega is still possible but the question is if there's enough demand for Arle or Kiryu for them to be double dipped. Square Enix and Microsoft are very likely for a double dip if we get one because they both have various characters people have been begging for. SNK is unlikely but I think Terry is enough right now for them. Konami is a wild card but I can't think of too many characters in demand on their end. Namco is a possibility.
Dont make sakurai log on smashbords and slap you through the screen
Yeah Sakurai, it's been almost an HOUR since June started.
Not without filming it anyway. You'd go viral, and probably spawn a whole new field of science.
