Only the Neo-Geo MVS was successful, however.
I like how you say "the sky is the limit" but don't list any of those filthy first parties for """""realism""""".
Unfortunately, even the sky has limits.

said, SNK had their own consoles, not to say their games have influenced the fighting genre, and while Fatal Fury is inactive as a series since 1999, Terry still makes regular appearances through KoF and other crossover games to this day, not really different from Hayabusa, which his most recent roles have been cameos or being playable in games such as Dead or Alive.Remember, ARMS wouldn't have been one if it didn't happen.
Again, how many of them were actually huge hits? Most SNK fans only care about the original Neo-Geo MVS.
Either that, or you're under inflating it.
Important in what? You haven't given any indication about what exactly NG has. Cutscenes?I didn’t say it did nor did anyone else. People were explaining why Ninja Gaiden is an important series & why it could potentially be selected to join Smash.
It seems like you just don’t want Hayabusa in, which is fine. But you should just say that instead of trying to downplay Ninja Gaiden.
Smash Ultimate’s DLC has been crazy. We’ve gotten the biggest game of all-time, a pop culture mega icon in Japan, a fan favorite series that hasn’t had a game in 12 years (), all the way down to a niche fighting game that just debuted 3 years ago.
We could get something smaller but important like Ninja Gaiden. We could get the American equivalent of Dragon Quest with Halo. We could get a small Japanese centric franchise like Ys. We could get another Japanese mega icon like Monster Hunter. We could even get a modern, western Indie hit like Hollow Knight. The sky is the limit. There’s tons of valid reasons for a loooot of characters.
You got to show me where exactly these comments about cutscenes come about, because i have searched around and there's nowhere that solidly shows that those.....animated cutscenes were an...iconic feature that influenced many other games. Whereas the term "metroidvania" is a no-brainer.
That's a great analysis and I overall agree, but I wanted to add 2 things:
If anything, it seems you are downplaying Ninja Gaiden's impact because you don't seem to like the idea of Hayabusa in the game. It's fine if you don't want him (I didn't want Steve in the game, yet here we are), but to downplay Ninja Gaiden seems a bit unnecessary.
Sure, something seemingly unexpected could happen, but that does not at all mean that it is likely to happen.
You really can't. It's an objectively false claim. However, you can't really argue that it's in any way similar to SoulCalibur or Guilty Gear. Heck, you couldn't even argue that Guilty Gear is at all similar to SoulCalibur.
Have I said "SNK consoles were super popular" or something?
If this is true play Rune Factory 4 you heathens it is very good.
I know of Star Fox's legacy since it seems to be its downfall, but I've never really seen people talk about F-Zero's legacy in regards to its impact on Nintendo/gaming as a whole. As far as I know, it's just a series of racing games that died out in the Gamecube era.
Still, ARMS getting in before 2/3 of the "only viable" first parties (3H got a rep, Astral Chain got spirited, Pokemon SS did too but it's in limbo for various reasons) is proof that Nintendo isn't solely interested in their characters that are less than a year old.
There's probably different degrees of "legacy" which can range from big freaking deals due to the sheer cultural influence of their games (DQ/Final fantasy/Street fighter) to smaller ones that may have influenced certain things here and there.
As long as people don't try to twist this into a hint for Rune Factory in Smash. Hopefully we've learned from our past mistakes...
That is called an echo chamber. And it does not really prove your point. Less I go back to Nov and find all the Twitter hat ken memes.
You know what else had impact. Maniac Mansion had revolutionized the adventure game genre. it did tons for that genre and the influence did spread throughout the industry. People want Guybrush Threapwood? I do. Dont at me.
No, but they are solely interested in IPs that they can raise up with a character, which means that the only likely picks are characters from series that have something going on if not now, then soon. Things like Pokémon with its anniversary, Kirby if its new game is huge, and coming out next year, Xenoblade Chronicles with its decently high profile titles, or...Pikmin 4 if that ends up being a big game...and not canceled.
I think with Arle its the sense that Smash DLC hasn't really gone for more Japan centric characters outside Hero (from a series that's had more mainline games localized with greater consistency than Puyo Puyo) and that puzzle game characters don't spring to mind as frequently for potential fighters (with Dr Mario pretty much in because he was an easy clone of Mario). That the series even has a main character has only become known to Western audiences in the past few years and there's probably a subset of fans (albeit small) who likely still instinctively think Mean Bean Machine or Kirby's Avalanche when they see the gameplay.
Sakurai is actually quoted as saying that he bought Ys 1 & 2, so... I'd say it is safe to say he is definitely an Ys fan, lol. And if we're comparing Ys to Trails, then yeah, Ys has more games on Nintendo consoles. Even if we trace Trails back to it's Dragon Slayer roots, that is still most likely the case(although Trails is ultimately a separate entity from Dragon Slayer now).
I like how you're still projecting opinions that don't exist onto others when people have constantly told you it's ****ing embarrassing and toxic.
How did you get that from my post? I mentioned Arms in my post. You probably don’t follow my posts actively, but I’ve said multiple times that I expect another Nintendo character. I’ve been supporting the idea of a BOTW era character too; particularly Mipha since I really like her & think she’d be fun.
The Ninja Gaiden series used to be one of THE hard games before Dark Souls came along. It’s one of the most talked about NES era AND Xbox era games. You talk to people who grew up in those times and they’ve atleast heard of Ninja Gaiden. It’s not on the level of Dragon Quest or Minecraft but it’s still a pretty renown character. I don’t think people would be talking about Hayabusa for so long if his series didn’t leave some sort of impact.
Well, Guybrush isn't Maniac Mansion. But I do want Bernard Bernoulli. So I can check off another one.
The two current major discussions seem to be:
There are way more Nintendo classic characters for that list. Let me hunt them down. it needs expansion.
Guybrush20X6
am I right in assuming that the Monkey Island Guybrush is your namesake?
Wat?
I also want to add to this, Koei and Nintendo seem to have a good relationship but that does not mean they are guaranteed a character.
Haven't you seen that bias in favor of ninjas Sakurai has? Just look at Sheik...and Greninja...and uh...Ninjar-oh right he was only considered and Min Min got in instead.
Sakurai might like Ninjas. Look at Sheik, Look at Greninja, and also that he was considering Ninjara. Of course that could have been because of the Party Crash Bash because Ninjara got 2nd place in the Tournament
