Nintendo only DLC

[Otoad64]

you get to redo FP1 and FP2, but there's a catch: First Parties only! you can also do stages if you want

who do you do?

here's what I would do:

FP1:
Toad + Double Cherry Pass
Bandana Dee + Void Termina
Dixie Kong + Sawmill Thrill
Chibi-Robo + The Desk
Min Min + Spring Stadium

FP2:
Karate Joe + Night Walk
Ashley + Diamond City
Rillaboom + Wyndon Stadium
Impa + Hyrule Field
Ring Fit Trainee + Beginnia
Isaac + Venus Lighthouse

 

[Perkilator]

Vol. 1

1. Spring Man + Spring Stadium
2. Euden + Halidom
3. Cpt. Syrup + Golden Pyramid
4. Officer Howard + Harmony Square
5. Stylist + Beaumonde Arena

Vol. 2

1. Edelgard + Garreg Mach Monastery
2. Ring Fit Trainee + Ring Fit Adventure
3. Cinderace + Wyndon Stadium
4. Bandana Dee + Planet Earthfall
5. Takamaru + Murasame Castle
6. E-Shop Bag + Nintendo E-Shop

 

[Pupp135]

FP1
Toad
Bandana Waddle Dee
Min Min
Pyra/Mythra
Byleth

FP2
Ring Fit Trainee
Cinderace
Impa
Tom Nook
Isaac
Waluigi

Reasons
Toad is the most important Nintendo character not in.
Bandana Waddle Dee, Isaac, and Waluigi are all requested fighters (I saved the latter two at the end as a surprise for breaking the assist rule).
Min Min and Pyra/Mythra (this was originally Rex) are added since ARMS and a second Xenoblade character missed base game.
Byleth, Ring Fit Trainee, and Cinderace are all promotional (I do like Byleth).
Impa was added for being a recurring LoZ character.
AC is a major franchise, so Tom would make sense.
Unfortunately, Dixie Kong just misses the cut.
I left out Officer Howard since Nintendo just got the rights, so they were technically not Nintendo when FP1 and FP2 were decided.

 

[airConditioner]

Vol. 1
1. Isaac
2. Captain Toad
3. Dixie Kong
4. Edelgard
5. Pyra and Mythra

Vol. 2
1. Min Min
2. Officer Howard
3. Karate Joe
4. Stylist
5. Saki Amamiya
6. Chibi-Robo

third party characters are causing a big hype problem where people expect big and when it's a nintendo character in a nintendo game people just implode on themselves and start getting mad

[YoshiandToad]

Vol 1.

• Midna + Palace of Twilight
  Replaces Joker, starting off with a big surprise. Zelda's been starved for too long. A first party that'd likely get people excited. Assist Trophies are back on the table.
  I'd have done Impa, but Age of Calamity is currently in the works at this stage, and so she'll wait for the next pass where her moveset won't spoil anything.
  Midna's Final Smash consists of pulling her opponent through a Twilight Portal and setting dozens of 'shadow wolves' on them, before spitting the opponent back out.
  
  
• Captain Toad + Wingo's Watchtower
  Replaces Hero as the seemingly obvious character finally making it with many alts. My personal pick. Toad's easily been one of the biggest Nintendo omissions. Let's fix that. Background characters are back on the table. Wingo occasionally turns up, but is a stage hazard that can be disabled.
  Toadette, Hint Toad, Bank Toad, Mail Toad and Yellow Toad all get in as special alts with Captain Toad and Toadette getting two additional alts each.
  Final Smash has Captain Toad activate the Turnip Cannon. He uses a double cherry to multiply the amount, and unleashes a huge bombardment of rapid fire turnips upon his opponent.
  
  
• Isaac + Venus Lighthouse
  Replacing Banjo as the big Smash fan favourite. Garet, Ivan, Mia and Jenna all hang in the background of the stage. This ends E3's presentation. Isaac's moveset is full of psynergy attacks with sword strikes being used for only his most basic moves. Matthew is a special alt for Isaac.
  Final Smash is the Venus summon Judgement.
  
  
• Bandana Waddle Dee + Megaton Punch Arena
  Replacing Terry as the fighting stadium character. BWD fights very much like he does in Star Allies and Fighters 2.
  Final Smash has BWD smash the planet in two with a Megaton Punch. Simple but effective. Has one special alt of Sailor Dee, but still uses a spear.
  
  
• Rex and Pyra/Mythra + 'Gramps'
  Finishing off the DLC for pack one, Rex makes it in...likely plays the same as Pyra/Mythra honestly but with Rex as the main fighter.

Vol 2.

• Meowth and Team Rocket + Poke Floats 2
  Replacing Min Min with a Pokemon guessing game. Meowth attacks with the aid of Arbok and Weezing thrown in from Jessie and James.
  Many Pokemon appear as Team Rocket style balloons on this stage. Special alts are Aloan and Galar Meowth variants(with Jessie and James wearing appropriate 'disgusises' for these alts.
  Final Smash is Dynamax Meowth, using G-Max Gold Rush.
  
  
• Byleth + Garreg Mach Monestry
  By the point Steve arrived Fire Emblem Three Houses was a critical success and thus would receive less backlash from inclusion. You already know how they play.
  
  
• Impa + Kakariko Village
  Replacing Sephiroth, Impa fights via accessing all her different incarnations and their various abilities. Giant ass sword of Hyrule Warriors, the sheikah rune clones of Age of Calamity, the spiritual barrier and light balls of Skyward Sword, the naginata abilities from Cadence of Hyrule and the sealing power of Ocarina of Time's Impa.
  Final Smash is simply calling upon every Impa carnation of which they all assault the opponent at once. Default Impa is a Smash original design that borrows elements from each to create a truely new unique Impa incarnation.
  
  
• Chibi-Robo + Jenny's Bedroom
  Chibi-Robo replaces Pyra/Mythra and is a bit of an odd ball pick admittedly. Has some moves from Ziplash, but largely focuses around cleaning utensils and his Chibi-Blaster. Final Smash is Giga-Robo.
  
  
• Officer Howard + The Astral Plane
  Officer Howard is here. Much like Byleth Officer Howard has plenty of different weaponry available to them via the Legions. Has a male and female variant, and comes with a special Lappy alt. Final Smash is Officer Howard fusing with their Legion before proceeding to crush the opponent with overwhelming strength.
  
  
• Dixie Kong + Grassland Groove
  Finishing off the fighters pass, Dixie Kong after missing out on Brawl is here! Puppet Giraffes and Zebra dance in the background, as you fight. Dixie's the opposite of Captain Toad being a very aerial based fighter for the most part. Dixie attacks with Rambi and her trademark ponytail.
  Final Smash is Animal Buddy Stampede.

Fighter Pass Volume 1 - Challenger Pack 5

• Fighter - Rex/Pyra/Mythra (Rex is added to the cast as the middle ground character. Mythra is speed, Pyra is power, Rex is average. If you wanna know how Rex can change fast, it's because he runs directly next to Pyra/Mythra, and the changing to Rex cause Mythra to switch places with Rex, running directly beside him. I guess if I had to compare it to something, I'd say Brawl Subspace mode Pokemon Trainer, but Trainer is much closer and tries recovering with P/M and not just teleport)
• Stage - "Wait, Gramps!"

[Heat-TD]

This thread works better if you make a distinction between properties Nintendo owns and properties Nintendo has developed. Kirby, Pokemon, everyone's favorite Golden Sun, and until recently Xenoblade, were all third-party games that just happened to find a publisher in Nintendo. Trying to find lists of characters from actual Nintendo properties would either be more interesting... or it would expose just how much Nintendo output isn't actually made by them. I mean they've contracted Koei Tecmo, a very major third-party, multiple times now, and multiple teams within, even.

Golden Sun is a great example. Did you know that Camelot, the developers of that game, were originally part of an internal Sega team? Their history is a bit complicated, but they were largely responsible for the original Shining games, and eventually turned their backs on Sega after Shining Force III. There was some brief experimentation with Sony just before Shining Force III, but after that they went with Nintendo's platforms and never really looked back. In fact, I'm not even sure exactly how involved Nintendo is with the Golden Sun IP, other than them happening to publish it. Dark Dawn was largely Camelot's idea, as far as I know.

nah, I prefer to use what is generally seen as "First Party"

interesting idea though

 

[BowserKing]

As much as I want to keep Banjo and Kazooie and Steve (especially Steve since we was my most wanted third Party)

Wave 1: Bandanna Dee, Krystal, Lugia, Midna and Byleth
Wave 2: Min-Min, Fawful, Viridi, Pyra and Mythra, Dragapult and Issac

If I were on keep the third party choices above, then I’ll have Lugia replace Dragapult and Fawful replace Issac

 

[RouffWestie]

Pretty tough decisions, resorted to some deep-cuts since I don't have enough realistic favorites.
