Man, I didn't even know that.
But I get goosebumps when discussing things like this. I'm really confident of a Mother trilogy remake.
In the timeline, Link's Awakening was the sequel to Link to the Past. The reason why Triforce Heroes was made, or at least the reason I believe, was because it ran parallel to the original Four Swords, which was packaged with the GBA remake of Link to the Past.
So why not make the remake of the sequel to Link to the Past use the same artstyle, storyline, and Link as the Link to the Past remake?
It's almost as if Aonuma saw something told him it was the perfect time to revisit Link's Awakening and to use this brand new artsyle that looks strongly like Mother.
Also I got freaking bored and wrote a Ninten reveal trailer because I wanted to.
Trailer Name: No Crying Until the End (Yes, the name of this thread)
Utter silence as Ness and Lucas are seen on top of a towering peak, weakened, afraid. It is dark out. They stand their ground, but to the viewers, the two heroes are clearly on their last legs. You can see the stiffness of their muscles, the pain in their movements. The viewer has a moment of dread: what could possibly be so strong to hurt Ness and Lucas this bad? The camera pans, and we see a glorious 3D rendition of Giegue. In that moment of reveal, fans of the series realize that Ness and Lucas are on Mt. Itoi, facing against Giegue. Giegue laughs, "humans are too weak for PSI powers, I was right to take them back."
Giegue charges up an energy ball, ready to attack. Ness and Lucas prepare themselves, but they know it is hopeless. They are too injured to dodge, too weak to repel the attack. It seems as if it is all over. The camera zooms on Ness and Lucas in order. A single tear is seen streaming down each of their faces as they await the end. But in a final moment, Ninten 4-D slips in front of the duo and swings his baseball bat at the energy ball, launching it back at Giegue.
Zoom on Ninten:
Ninten Aims for the Fences! All That I Needed Was You begins to play
Ninten looks at the other two, slings his bat over his should, winks, and says, "hey you two, no crying until the end!" Giegue looks furious, and they dive into battle.
The trailer swaps to gameplay, and it's revealed that Ninten's stage is Mt. Itoi. On this stage, EVE and R7038-XX are seen battling in the background. Giegue shows up as a boss in the stage and Ninten is seen battling Giegue on it. He reveals most of his moveset, 4-D Slips, Boomerangs, Baseball Bats, Slingshots, etc. At some point, Giegue is weakened enough and he launches a powerful attack on Ninten, and it swaps back to cinematics.
Now Ninten is incredibly weakened. However, he still stands up and prepares to fight Giegue once more. But Giegue smirks, this is the chance he has to beat all three of the PSI users. He knows Ninten can no longer keep up his power after taking a blow like that. But then dawn comes, and a girl's voice calls out, "Do you need help Ninten?". A nerdy boy voice says, "W-we're here for you Ninten!" Over the horizon, Ana and Lloyd come over the horizon and run to Ninten's side. Ninten nods to each of them. They know what they must do. The three of them beginning singing.
Orchestral Remake of Eight Melodies begins to play
The trailer swaps to gameplay and shows that Ana and Lloyd join Ninten for his Final Smash: the Eight Melodies. With Ness and Lucas on the field, it shows that Eight Melodies doesn't do damage or kill. Its haunting melody dramatically weakens opponents and increases your attack and knockback against them.
It switches back to cinematics, and Giegue is very weakened, haunted by the memories of Maria. He flies away, tears streaming from his eyes. Ninten turns to his friends and the other two, "We can cry now". He walks up and shakes hands with Ness and Lucas, and everyone cries as they embrace each other and the screen fades.
The screen returns to Sakurai's office.
"Did you remember not to cry until the end? Hello, my name is Masahiro Sakurai, from Sora Ltd., and I'm happy to announce Ninten from Earthbound Beginnings is joining the roster. Usually, Smash reveals are more exciting and dramatic than Ninten's, but I felt the more emotional atmosphere of Ninten's game demanded a more distressing trailer. But it's more than that. As too many of us are away, four years ago, Satoru Iwata, a mentor to many in the video game industry, including myself, passed away. When he revealed Earthbound Beginnings to the world several years ago, all of us caught a glimpse of Iwata's passion for the franchise. I knew that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate had to respect a man like Iwata, and so Ninten comes. I'll have more to say later, but first I have the honor of directing you to another great friend of mine, who has his own contribution to this feeling of love and remembrance. Let me just say, there will be smiles, and tears."
