Kind of tired of people spouting that the ballot is a "suggestion box." While it's not a pure popularity contest, it's not a pure suggestion box either. The amount of votes DO matter. It's not like I can vote Bomberman and Sakurai will be like "hey, I know only .05% of votes are for Bomberman, but that's a great suggestion! I like that character and will add him!"
See, the issue is that people are acting like popularity is the most important factor. Characters like K. Rool, Inkling and Shantae, who have major roadblocks and some in-game clues against their inclusion, are viewed as frontrunners just because they do well in polls and are on a lot of wishlists. There's nobody saying "It's all suggestions and popularity doesn't matter!".

I dunno about the others, but whenever I use the "It's a suggestion box" line, it's always in response to someone saying "<insert popular character here> is a shoo-in! They're popular!" or "Why isn't <insert popular character here> in!? They're highly wanted, the ballot's a sham!".

@ PushDustIn PushDustIn I got a question


Was Lucas really considered over Ness during Melee's development or was that a rumor?

I didn't remember it being in your article
Trying to settle an argument with a friend.
He was planned. if it wasn't for MOTHER 3's being stuck in development hell, then Lucas would have replaced Ness. Full sources are in that article. Bookmark it :).

New Triforce Heroes trailer.


I think this is definitely evidence towards Directs being gone (at least for now).
This is actually the "introduction" trailer. It goes into the story a bit.

Basically, there's some evil magic that turns the beautiful princess into an 'embarrassing' state.

"Introduction" trailers always existed outside of directs, but yeah...directs would usually have a shorter version of these trailers.

Looks like Zelda, Ganon and technically Link aren't there.

I dunno what you're talking about. :troll:

Ganon not being there doesn't surprise me honestly.

Fashion Demon thing for Smash? Considering that things apparent goals, I can't see Ganon hijacking the plot this time, unless the princess's clothes contained the Triforce of Clothes or something.

The real question is why couldn't they have just added a Purple Link and called it a Four Sword game?

Because the Four Sword isn't present here.

Plus I think they said something about a 4-man Totem Pole being too big.

Potential theory on who the bad guy is:

If you notice in the trailer, the "evil" spirit wears sunglasses. So does Madam Tailor [Not sure on English name. The person that makes clothes]. It could be the red herring villain though.

iirc the developer said at E3 2015 that (loose remembering) 4 Links would get too confusing, totem-wise, as everything would have to be more high up than it already is

They obviously would have thrown in the Four Sword if they did want to have, well, a Four Sword gameplay. And looking at this trailer, a 4-man Totem Pole looks like it would have worked fine. I guess the puzzles WOULD get confusing though.


This Zelda discussion reminds me of a dream I had last night. I was watching a new trailer for Hyrule Warriors 3DS, and they were going into detail about each of the characters. They showed off Toon Zelda as another new character, but then when they got to Tetra she was referred to as "Benjamin". I don't know why. Even my dream self found it odd. I thought maybe it was the Japanese name or something.

I'm not kidding. I'm really weird.

So yesterday Monster Musume anime had a MGS reference after MGSV released. Now, today's episode of Himouto! Umaru-chan had an Ace Attorney reference after Ace Attorney 6 was announced. What a coincidence, anime sure has great timing. There was also a Danganronpa reference in the same scene, which is perfect. It even had a remix of the cornered theme. Funny thing was, the whole thing was about 'who ate the pudding'. AA anime, when?
"Hold it!"

Noticed that myself. Maybe she's related to the villain.

This is interesting. Not sure if you guys have heard of this, but apparently it seems like the Grovyle, Celebi and Dusknoir from Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky do make an appearance in Super Mystery Dungeon via the Connection Orb. I guess this means they'll ask you to do things for them.

Thanks, mate.

I was kinda confused but I did re-read the article.

Although, I believe we might have more development news behind Smash 4 pre-release over characters and scrapped content, I feel like there's more than what we know now but that my belief that we might have a few more considered characters than before and even extra scrapped content like some extra modes

Most definitely, I'm updating this post every month right now with new stuff we find.

I highly recommend you at least play Explorers.

It's my favorite in the Pokemon series as a whole, as far as story, characters, and settings go.

If we're talking Pokemon than I'm obviously a :078:

Except I'd more than likely be Riolu or Eevee.

That last picture is a Danganronpa reference to Monokuma...

The Explorers games are the best of the bunch, I recommend going for Sky since it's the "Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum" of the games. Lots of delicious extras in it.
The original is still great but be sure to play the DS version. GBA version is cluttered as hell.
I wouldn't bother with Gates to Infinity since SMD looks to be everything that game should have been.

Exactly. It's definitely way more a suggestion box than it is a popularity contest. I mean I doubt Sakurai will go with someone that only gets like 15 votes because he liked the idea, but they are definitely not going with like "the Top 3 characters in the ballot are definitely in".

Ok boys I got a GENEYES idea.....STRAIGHT from the thinker...

Leakthreadmon

it's us but in pokemon
Someone once told me I remind them of
357.gif
because of my green hair motif. Perhaps I am also a provider of fruit? Dunno.

I've never played with one, but I can kind of see the resemblance. I'd prefer :043::044::045: though.

I'd definitely recommend Explorers of Sky, that's an incredible game. It improves on the good points of the original, fixes the flaws it had, gives an excellent story with great characters, and expands on the original content of Time/Darkness by giving you so much more to do (character specific episodes, new legendary/forms to hunt for, etc.). It's easily one of the best the series has ever offered and is quite a joy to play, I never regretted picking that game up.

And don't forget that delicious, DEEEELICIOUS soundtrack.

Gates is not Sonic Boom levels of bad, but it really was underwhelming compared to Rescue Team and Explorers. It seemed like everything got nerfed lol.

Super Mystery Dungeon better be good, with a story as great as Explorers. Rescue Team's story was decent though. that vs. Rayquaza song

Having the entire roster of Pokémon and possibly even visiting past areas (if the map is any indication) makes me think it'll almost certainly be amazing.

Last I checked, Explorers had every Pokémon except Arceus. I don't think Shaymin was in Time/Darkness, but it definitely was in Sky.
I really hope so, but then again there's the doubt. We'll see how things go when it releases in a few weeks.

I mostly mean compared to Gates and it's pitiful roster. We've got all 700+ Pokémon so far, which is amazing.
I honestly don't have many doubts. But yeah, we'll see.
