And if his appearance in Smash was...another cameo, I wouldn't have an issue with it.
I'm not even sure about that. ROB quickly faded by the time SMB came out.
Nah, too much of a waste. ROB is clearly very important to Nintendo as seen through his cameos alone. Making his Smash appearance just a cameo wouldn't work.
Yeah, looking back on it now, I guess ROB making a cameo in Kirby Dream Land 3 makes his appearance in Smash not all that surprising now.
it matters because it’s an important part of Nintendo that they’re clearly still fond of which was what smash was about in the first place
im not sure you followed that correctly
Pretty much, yeah. R.O.B. was essentially a trojan horse so that retailers would be more open to having Nintendo's new console on shelves since, after the crash, video games were sorta seen as a black sheep to retailers. All R.O.B. had to do was get the eyes of consumers on the NES and the killer software, and as history has shown, it succeeded. Critically, R.O.B. and its two games were not viewed favorably.
what’s the reasoning behind villager and jr?
Isabelle is the mascot and is basically Villager with Personality.
you could say that about any AC character
I don't mind it, tbh. The thing that stuck out to me the most was Ike as DLC. But when I thought about it, he's the one Fire Emblem character in the current roster that could be sold as DLC without people blowing a gasket (maybe Robin, too, but Robin feels very base game for some reason). So well done.
So Where's Ken? Is he just like, a package deal with Ryu?
He’s staying lmao.
I don't see how. Let's not forget that both came out the same year, yet only one of them has been talked about ever since.
That's admittedly a reboot roster rather than a cutlist, and I stand by my predicttion that the next Smash will probably recycle assets from Ultimate to ensure most of the cast gets back in.Now, i present to you my own take onf the topic.
I'm curious, why Ike over Marth?Now, i present to you my own take onf the topic.
Damn, I still really want a Gyromite stage.
For a giving more space to newcomers.
Exactly. It's a piece of junk Nintendo used to trick people, and isn't really something that should be celebrated.
I honestly think Porky is best represented as a boss not only for the fact that it's already established work that simply needs to be imported over but because I also think it's the best way to represent him. Smash in general should expand upon what players can do with boss battles. Boss rush is a no brainer but we should be able to order the bosses in any way we see fit and however many we want to face so that'd also include the option for a single battle with one boss. Maybe even matching them up as pairs to fight against? On top of that the ability for a player (or players plural) to play as a boss character to fight other boss characters and the regular cast of Smash would be amazing. Give each boss a block mechanic that severely reduces damage taken at the cost of being unable to attack so players can really go crazy at all levels of skill.
i was trying not to accuse of not knowing what was meant by foothold
They haven't; Sakurai seems to treat every Smash Bros. like it's the last one, but I don't see why they'd stop making a series that's consistently been one of the main reasons why many people buy Nintendo consoles for over two decades.
I agree. Heck, I'll buy the next console if there's another Smash, myself. I just seem to remember them calling it "Ultimate" as it was supposedly the last but it would be sad to kill off the series.
I am one such consumer.
A lot of games have "Ultimate" as a part of their title but they are not necessarily the final entry in their series.
Asking this as the guy with P3 protag pfp: Does anyone really considers him as the face of the series? I like the guy and he's really popular but I think it's hard to argue against Joker being the most recognizable character in the series at this point.
Sees Marth removedNow, i present to you my own take of the topic.
I'm just saying that SMB's success was independent from what ROB did. They're both completely unrelated to each other.
