Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

Welp. Here's some more possible Shovel Knight speculation.

Did we go through the lengthy process of licensing our character to Nintendo? Hmmm, I haven't the foggiest! pic.twitter.com/DMF2wIrw0U

Alot of people think that the ballot characters will be:

Wolf
King K. Rool
Bandana Dee
Isaac

But does anyone think differently, like does anyone think we'll get a third-party character in their?

I don't think we're getting Isaac or Dee. still very iffy on K rool. I really doubt anymore 3rd parties.

 

[PushDustIn]

What I don't understand is why call Fighter Pack 1 a pack if it's just Mewtwo, as "pack" would imply several bits of content in itself rather than a single thing. Is this an error on their eshop or am I missing something?

Very awkward translation, but this is what it literally says:
[Pack] Pack of the 1st and 2nd group of fighters.

Nintendo reminding us of the eShop maintenance. Notice how they've mentioned this twice.

*takes off tinfoil hat* Probably nothing.

I was really considering posting this,...

Really I only think Wolf and Dee are the more likely ones, K. Rool I'm unsure about, and Isaac I doubt.

Am I the only who is basically sitting back and see what happens rather than going mad with speculating?

That is an awkward translation but if I'm reading it right, it certainly implies something. It's probably nothing, though.

Have room for one more?

 

[NintenZ]

I think the last DLC character released should be Bandana Dee, I think it feels right for Masahiro Sakurai to go out with the very franchise he created, it just seems so fitting.

Just don't forget that Sakurai hasn't been directly involved with a Kirby game since 2004 (Amazing Mirror was last).

The only thing I see is that they stole my answer to everything that I stole from Medic.

You're not alone. I like to see if anything has been announced, but I just wait it out and it becomes a surprise in the end. Thankfully it's been a pretty busy month, so I've been able to hold myself over.

 

[Jdaster64]

I've long since given up on trying to predict anything more than the data leaks have told us (and am pleased to see that that increased with the 1.1.0 patch), personally. I'm just hoping for some really good semi-neutral stages and maybe one character I actually care about, but I wouldn't have a problem with the vast majority of the characters I actually think have a chance being in. At any rate, I assume we'll hear something before the month is out judging from the past release schedule (perhaps alongside a pre-11/20 Direct), but I fairly strongly doubt it'll tie into anything we've heard thus far.

Are they going to advertise the game with the Yo-kai Watch logo in YouTube, this is insane advertising..
INSANE I TELL YOU!

That's better than anything Google has ever done to the site.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm a fan of K rool getting in

More so before it was the cool thing to do

(Also I gave up after his costume)

But, more or less none of the top characters are my favorites, so I'm not really worrying about rumors and the likes

 

[NintenZ]

Just don't forget that Sakurai hasn't been directly involved with a Kirby game since 2004 (Amazing Mirror was last).

It fits though, it will begin where it ends.

There, Their and They're. They all mean different things my friend .

Wolf - His chances are decreasing as the more time goes on IMO. I talked about it in the "Is Wolf a Shoo-In?" Right now? 20%. He could sneak in at the end (maybe as the 4th?) but I dont see them spending such a long time on a character they can port from Brawl/ adjust from Fox.

King K. Rool - I think the community has grossly overestimated his reach in a lot of ways (like Wolf). His costume might be a deconfirmation, but he could still get in. He also suffers from the same issue as Isaac (see below).

Bandanna Dee/ Waddle Dee - Decent shot, I guess? At least they are very popular in Japan. Kirby is really a beloved series here. Not sure if we will get him though.

Isaac - "Who?" -- Casual fans who aren't invested in Smash Speculation.
Isaac and King K. Rool haven't been used recently, and might have been forgotten. The fact that they marketed K. Rool's costume as a "retro" costume (In Japanese and English) is evidence towards this. If there are plans for a new Golden Sun, then I would say he has a shot but I think the Golden Sun series is almost finished.

For Third Party characters, I almost expect some. I think the fact that they marketed the ballot as "vote for any video game character!" shows they are at least willing to consider third party options. Yes... there are legal hurdles to jump through, but DLC might actually be an ideal time to include third party characters as it's much easier to divide profit/ write up the contract(s). I know @SmashChu talked about anti-third parties in A Return to Form, but I think we will continue to see third party characters as they can generate a lot more hype than normal Nintendo characters.

 

[NintenZ]

I don't think most people arund here believe that.

It's not from here entirely, it's from other sites I've seen this list on other sites in addition to this one.

 

[Champ Gold]

There's a massive leak going around the internet right now.


Reason why I think no one rarely cares about it?
It's Fallout, that's why

 

[N3ON]

Am I the only who is basically sitting back and see what happens rather than going mad with speculating?

Nope.

It fits though, it will begin where it ends.

It's not going to end with Smash 4 though.

 

[NintenZ]

Nope.


It's not going to end with Smash 4 though.

This may be Sakurai's final game, but if it isn't then the final character should be, Metal Mario.

I think none of those characters are getting in and I support all 4 of them.

*takes off tinfoil hat* Probably nothing.

It couldd be Nintendo Account getting implementation (super unlikely though). But then again My Nintendo is due March 2016. I really do wonder what warrants such a lengthy maintenance though. Has it happened before?

I think they only announced it twice because it's going to be such a long maintenance, wanting to give people a heads up because they're not going to be able to play online for a whole day.

EDIT: NVM it only affects eshop. Probably just wants us to know we can't buy anything for a while.

Awesome, no offense, but please stop trying to hide things from others, it's kind of offputting. Please understand, thank you. Moving on.

I would very much care about this (this would be the 2nd time F4 leaked though I think)
But don't tell me. The less things leak from that game the better. I don't want anything being spoiled from a game im uber hyped for

 

[NintenZ]

huh what??

It's a long story. (You know that post may sound strange out of context)

My iTunes balance demands to be used, anyone care to suggest some music?

Isaac - "Who?" -- Casual fans who aren't invested in Smash Speculation.

You can really apply the "who" thing to anyone outside of the supposedly hotly requested in regards to casual fans.

Pretty sure this is the first time, for any of their services. Peculiar, but they've been doing quite a bit of maintenance recently...

 

[Parallel_Falchion]

You know, even though I always knew about him because the DKC series was a major part of my childhood, K. Rool was a character I had never even considered as a Smash fighter until I joined the online fandom and saw how popular he was. His popularity really confused me.

I still feel like Wolf is coming, though. It just feels too strange to bring back Roy and Lucas but not Wolf.

We get it. You think Bandana Dee is likely. We understand

I'm kidding, but I don't think any character is "likely" unless there's a real leak like Roy/Ryu.

Well that depends, what kinds of genres are you into?

 

[NintenZ]

I also want Bandana Dee for Sakurai, he deserves a character from his own franchise because of all of the awesome things he's done over the years. But I'd also like to see a spear user.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Really anything other than death metal and stuff like that.

 

[A Distant Demon]

There are like 400 jokes about Kid Icarus content and Brawl Meta Knight here.

 

[Deleted member]

At this point, the only character who's more likely than not is Wolf. As for the other 2+ roster spots, I have no idea. Sakurai has thrown way too many curveballs for me to speculate this roster even further.

*OH MY GOD, ****ING DARK PIT*
*META KNIGHT TOO OP PLS NERF*

[Oblivion129]

Fun Fact: I want it less for me and more for Sakurai, he deserves a character from his own franchise because of all of the awesome things he's done over the years.

There are like 400 jokes about Kid Icarus content and Brawl Meta Knight here.

Basically this. If you want Sakurai to be happy, don't worry about it. He's been adding characters he has approved on since the beginning.

 

[Champ Gold]

And Ridley, And anything related to Melee, And anything related to Donkey Kong, And HOO HAA, And Marth getting nerfed.




And Fire Emblem bias
