I remember when Sakurai attended an MGS anniversary event some time during Smash 4's development (Or before, not sure).

Regardless, don't take that as Shantae being in the game. He met up with Sakurai, that's probably about it.

Feel bad for Sakurai. Can't be around or do anything without being involved with Smash Bros.

Oh you wacky kids and your parody accounts
Ninlendo is on a role lately! Hope they keep this up with more announcements!

If you're not playing games for fun, something is wrong with you.

When you become THE person behind something famous, such things are bound to happen.

It's like Hideo Kojima with MGS or George Lucas with Star Wars. It's the franchises they're best known for, after all.

Certainly strange that Sakurai would go this far to go to Wayforward. Personally I'm keeping an eye on it.
I somehow don't think he was there SPECIFICALLY to go to Wayforward. Though I am definitely curious as to why he was in California, as well as how Wayforward ended up crossing paths with him.

And I understand that completely. It's just that the man can't do anything related to games without it leading to something about Smash Bros. Like, people need to chill about that.

Oh well, still anticipating the ballot (and possible pre-ballot characters) as well.

Come on, guys, don't delude yourselves like this. Sakurai visiting a company does not mean their character gets in Smash.

Sakurai visited Platinum and we got trophies for the Wonder team, for instance.

...Dammit.

Well, if this means what we think, congratulations to the supporters.
I sincerely doubt it.
It's very convient... Sakurai being in California with Wayforward's director in the state they're stationed in right near the end of the ballot...
Even with that I'm still not getting my hopes up. Even though as a supporter of Shantae I should.

I don't think that means much of anything.

I'm even hearing accusations of it being shopped.

Going all the way from his home country to California is something noteworthy for an eyebrow to say the least.

Do realize that that was when the game was still in development. :smash:

I seriously doubt it's shopped.

And I seriously doubt it means Shantae's in as well, lets not lose our heads. :4shulk:

That doesn't change his point, he's visited other companies and they didn't result in a character, for all we know she got the Commander Video treatment.
What I mean is that this is paid-for content.

If you're a supporter, ESPECIALLY, if you're supporter, you should take this with an extra big grain of salt.
It would hurt even more, if it turns out the other way.

Japan based game developers are not above going to visit Western developers in the U.S.

Shigeru Miyamoto has visited Retro Studios several times when regarding the Prime trilogy, for instance. The difference here is that people are quick to think OMG SMESH DIRECKTOR VISITED WEYFORWARD SO SHUNTAY IS IN SMESH.

Until we see reveals, it means nothing.

He wouldn't go all the way to pay a pretty expensive trip to California just to ask for a trophy, at the least he would have to ask if they can agree with a Mii costume or character.

Even if such an agreement were to be the case, there wouldn't be a reveal immediately following the pic, they still would have to develop the character after they done the agreement.

Do know that if it's for a trophy or a costume, there's something called a cell phone.

Guys, CLEARLY what's happening is that Shovel Knight is in the game, and Sakurai is going to multiple developers (indie companies) for trophies and mii costumes!

...So, what would be the reaction to that. Quote costume when.

That's straw grasping.

If this were a Yacht Club guy the reaction would be very different.

I think this picture is from a while back though, and he was posting it more as a "this was a really cool moment, hope you guys voted for us" thing. It looks like they're in a convention building or something considering it has multiple exit doors lined up. This could have been at E3 or during something where Sakurai was present. I kind of doubt Wayforward has gymnasium-doors as an exit in their office.
