All that goodwill built up with the new Pokémon Snap, killed in the span of only one week. Must be a record of some sort.
Yeah, well. China bets on greed and it works.
Don't see the point of holding grudges towards companies, We wouldn't have gotten something like Samus Returns if everyone just assumed how it would turn out based on MercurySteam's previous track record.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that stuff going on during base game speculation for Smash? I remember seeing that photo with all those plushes quite some time ago.
Couldn't tell you, but it didn't mean anything all the same.
Mario mistaking Shantae's crab form for a koopa shell, chucks it and immediately gets hair whipped.
Do these people just forget Shantae's spirit got in uncensored?
People don't seem to understand that it wasn't Mai's clothing that kept her out of smash, but her animations. Specifically her traditional idle animation where she is hunched over and... swaying...
Yeah, Mai's fighting style is pretty much using her looks and body to catch the opponents off guard for fighting with questionable str.
Oh she does the same thing in revenge when you dont give her the dog.
Really? Lol. Is there a place that has all of these types of responces?

The lack of pants probably played an extra factor too. Wasn't the Japanese rating board on Sakurai's case about Palutena regarding her skirt? Good thing for genie pants.
Yeah, I've been thinking about the logic regarding the true ending in WoL. Now that Min Min's in (in), did she join Smash after everyone in the multiverse got revived or...?
Yeah, and unlike Tharja they're not translucent very often.
Especially when no one pays any attention to the spirit list -- there's a site right there!
Considering that Kid Cobra uses her as a puppet, the jury is out on that.
On one hand, I kind of understand why Nintendo probably didn't bring back the creative little write-up descriptions on the NPCs, but I'd be a dirty liar if I said I didn't miss the heck out of them. I'm probably one of the few who still read those.
Tbf, Sakurai HAS given that same answer in regards to Smash Bros. logic...
Latter seems likely. Or they could mix and match art from various entries, depending on the character.
It'll be interesting to see how they handle it
I want them to go with Risky's Revenge or Pirate's Curse art. Give Shantae a new fighter spirit that's her Game Boy Color art.
That would be nifty, though the actual 3D model's design is going to be highly debated as to how they would approach her
Actually, now that I think about it, it will absolutely be Half-Genie Hero art because that's the art already used for both Shantae and Risky in the base game, and it just makes sense to maintain consistency. New fighter spirit art can probably still happen, though, and they can use the Shantae GBC cover remake used for the Virtual Console release if the original art is too old.
The remade GBC cover art nails it too, but what also nails it is the Shantae art used for Indivisible, the best 3rd party interpretation of her in my opinion.
Personally, I've always felt like Risky's Revenge contained what should be (IMO) the 'universal' art direction for the Shantae series. With its 'anime, yet not TOO anime' aesthetic, If I'm being honest? I feel like Pirate's Curse went too far into the anime look and I'm not really a big fan of the chibi look she's been using since HGH.
They will probably go for Seven Sirens' art honestly. I could see Shantae's in game Spirit being used as her Fighter Spirit and Risky's in game Spirit popping up in Shantae's Spirit board. I could see Rottytops, Sky, Bolo, Uncle Mimic, the Barons, the Sirens, Empress Siren, and the Pirate Master all being Spirits in her Spirit board.
If Shantae and Risky's outfits alone were a problem for the rating boards, they probably wouldn't even show up as Spirits to begin with.
They are still here with no changes. Again, Mai wasn't included not because of her outfit (it could be adjusted to the other versions), but her fighting style in game.
