I dunno where that came from. It doesn't say that on the actual ballot page.

https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/
I have no idea where this info is coming from... how could we all have missed it?

And does it really apply to 3rd parties? I mean they would have to negotiate the rights separately.
I'm thinking, was it there on the Direct maybe?

Even then, this seems weird and shocking that we haven't heard ANYTHING about this.

Then it goes from suggestion box to an actual poll which can change things

I just checked the Direct.

It's not there either. It just shows a screenshot of the ballot page.

I feel like they would have specifically told us "you'll vote on the characters after the ballot ends" if this were true.

Doesn't help that there's apparently no recognizable source for it.

Edit: Never mind, dead

And that's what makes this weird. We knew all what the ballot was (probably) gonna be that that tweet sprang up.

That has to be fake. Well, Burb does it again.

I don't where that came from, but I found this on the EU Smash Ballot.

This may have been posted before, but I'd just thought I would bring it up.
I can already imagine how it works
'MUAHAHA! I, SAKURAI, WILL ONLY LET NINTENDO SEE THE VOTES I AGREE WITH! GOODBYE, DISGUSTING APES AND CHARACTERS ACQUAINTED WITH DISGUSTING APES!'

Yeah, I just checked there too and couldn't find anything.

If that were the case, and we had to vote on characters there... I think I would bow out. No way I would have anything to do with that bloodbath.

Yeah they apparently plan to publish our votes online. (Presumably for whatever character they decide to work on.) So they most probably really will be reading our votes and publish the best given suggestions and reasons from those votes etc.

Online polls are too easy to exploit. They're definitely better off just picking submissions on their own.

Well, that was almost exciting.

You know I never really considered the published by Nintendo thing... Maybe Sakurai will read out/ show off ballots that stood out to him or something.

it be horrible if we had to vote, people would be stuffing the ballot left and right with bot spawned votes.
If Sakurai read notably entries though, that be cool to see.

If they're publishing submissions, I guarantee you one of them is going to become the next "Meow Meow Mario".

>Claims it's real

>Only one source from a website that can be edited by anyone

Someone please explain how this works.
I think he's just BSing about all this just for attention, he says it's from the pedia, and that's BS.
He claimed he didn't trust the pedia and checked the Direct for Confirmation, and that's why it's 100% true, because he's claiming the direct confirms it. So I'm grilling him to find out exactly where in the direct it "confirms" this is true.

He's claiming that it's from Smashpedia, but also that he watched the direct again to confirm it. What did he "confirm"? What video is he watching that nobody else is?

That's my point though.

If it was actually stated in the direct, EVERYONE would have known about it.

Like, he's not even trying.

Well, with that BS claiming being debunked, here's something, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse for Japan trailer has now been revealed.


This also makes like one of the first cases something comes to Japan afterwards, doesn't it?

Well, since the ballot is almost over, what did you guys vote for? Here's a list of ones I did

Snake

Shovel Knight (Yes, WAY back when the ballot was announced)

Rayman

King K. Rool (First vote I went for. Though tbh, my hype for him has gone down a bit. Would still like him though)

I was thinking of putting one in for Crash, but idk. Man, can't wait for the upcoming weeks to see of any announcements.

It's possible they could have a translator for each region, right?
The screenshot provided in the tweet is in English.

Even disregarding that, the likelihood of them disclosing such a major piece of information in one region only is extremely low.

I hope Shantae becomes a success there just so we can get more Shantae fans. Wonder how HalfGenie Hero's doing too

Whelp, RIP English-speaking Ballot votes.
(I mean, they could be translated but, would he bother?)
I would assume Sakurai (or Nintendo) got some employees to look through the votes and see if there where any good/interesting/popular suggestions among them etc. I'm not sure if Sakurai would look through all these votes himself though....

Sometime's it feels like I'm the only person who only voted for one character.
In this case, Midna & Wolf Link.

...Granted, I voted twice, but still, one character.
I wish I could retract them now. Or at least replace one of the votes.
