To me, G&W and R.O.B. were really special cases.
Not simply thrown in for historical purposes, though they do have their significance in history.

I don't see anything like them coming in, honestly. Probably because there's really no one else comparable.

BluePikmin11, I think the main problem is that if you have a character that represents something that should be represented you automatically ignore every unavoidable flaw they have, such as being a real ass dog that represents animal abuse or the head of a real person who is thus as viable as Goku if not less viable. Just because somebody acknowledges the problem with playing as a deck of cards with limbs that doesn't exist, doesn't mean they don't understand, because they clearly understand how unbelievably stupid the concept is.

This is why we have other things for representing characters like Assist Trophies and Stages.

I don't think Sakurai would immediately flunk the idea just because it's not a videogame character. He probably knows that Hanafuda was important to Nintendo's history, and that he could possibly make Hanafuda a character in some form.

I honestly don't think Sakurai ever/will ever consider the idea. EVER.

He wouldn't even consider it... because there is nothing to consider.

Oh, a "rule" that was within context of 3rd Party characters that was never actually stated by Sakurai himself?

Checkmate.


And to be a ****....


Double checkmate.



Daitoryo isn't happening, but it's not because of some rule formed by fan misinterpretation that is irrelevant to Nintendo's characters.

This is what I'm saying. It's not likely by any means, but it's not impossible just because he's not a video game character.

The N64 itself is a video game.......
You know what else was important to Nintendo. The love tester! It was their first electronic. It don't appear in a video game, but let's throw it in any way.

Tell me why Diskun should come before a Hanafuda character?
Click to expand...
Diskun represents the successful add-on for the game console that revolutionized the industry and has the ability to use anything from an NES title. He actually represents something more notable and related to the VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY: NINTENDO. Not the Card Company: Nintendo.

Oh, but Hanafuda was the first Nintendo thing, guess he's more important than ROB & Mr. Game & Watch too. How about we focus on Nintendo things related to VIDEO GAMES? Not REAL LIFE DOGS, Not REAL PEOPLE, not REAL LIFE CARD GAMES!

Representing stuff doesn't make you something else! Representing Nintendogs doesn't make you not a real life dog, representing cards doesn't make you grow limbs and do ****, representing a Nintendo game doesn't erase Dr. Kawashima from real life and make him a video game character. Representing Animal Crossing, doesn't make Tom Nook a necessary or pointful character to have in the slightest when we have Villager. Stop acting like representing stuff cancels out all flaws and that you don't have to think about anything.

But it's important to Nintendo's history. Without Hanafuda, Nintendo wouldn't be a video game company. That's just how important a Hanafuda character is.

Lies, what connection did Hanafuda cards have with the creation of Sheriff or Donkey Kong? When did they say "Hey, we own Hanafuda Cards! WE SHOULD BECOME A VIDEO GAME COMPANY!!!!"

This card game is important to Nintendo history a little, but not to Smash! A game made to represent the Nintendo Video Game Characters! Hanafuda has nothing to do with the gaming industry.

Depending on how it is done, I agree in that Hanafuda, being Nintendo's origin, would be a reasonable idea to integrate in Smash.

The main problem is that there's not that great of a way to do it.
Not even Daitoryo, which while representing Nintendo's most successful/iconic deck of cards, is still a rather forced idea by using a caricature of Napoleon, who is used as the "theme" of the deck, as a character.
I mean, it's the best idea I've seen so far for that, but still...

I can do you one better.

You see that Ultra Machine?
Not only has that toy been featured in quite a few games, but recently, a Japanese exclusive eShop game for 3DS, Darumeshi Sports Shop, features baseball games where men with Ultra Machines for heads serve pitches for you to hit.


Clearly, "Ultra Machine Man" is the best way to go. :troll:
