OK, but in fairness the first announcement is still about old games we've played (possibly several times) before. What more is there to be said that we don't already know about them or general thoughts that haven't already been covered here? Anyone? Any comments besides how great this is?
In fairness also, how many new to Shantae ever got to play her first game that everyone is charging $400-500 on ebay?
The first game's available on the 3DS eShop, so anyone who has a 3DS, an internet connection, and a few dollars could play it.
It's nice to see someone else actually notice the looniness of this thread, for a change.

is pointing out.This. I got the original Shantae and Xtreme Sports on the 3DS a while back. Though iirc Xtreme Sports is pretty meh.
Oh its publicity alright. Personally i dont think it's bad to do that from WB's side. But I think people are disappointed in Nintendo for putting it there, and how they did it. It just felt underwhelming basically. But I know some people are like oh nintendo are money grubbers or something. I guess it depends how much money WB offered them, or what kind of partnership they have. Dunno.
The real question is, why even bother going to the trouble of making the game Switch exclusive if it's really just a low-effort advertisement game? You'd think making it multiplatform would give it more exposure, and I've not heard anything to indicate it makes use of features that other consoles don't have.
I mean, in all fairness, it's on my radar now. I probably won't get it, but I'm paying attention to it to see if it's worth getting. Like I said, I have seen a couple of the monsters in the series and some of them are really cool, WF making the game only give me more confidence in it's quality (as all their licensed games I have played were great) The combat still seems luke warm, but I will keep seeing what they show to see if anything in it heats up.
Heh ok fair enough. It works for advertising. Do nintendo fans like having that advertisement right after paper mario tho?
Plus with the Switch progressively becoming and soon to be Nintendo's highest selling video game console of all time, it puts more eyes on our gal.
Dixie is one of my greatest wants as well. As far as I'm concerned, she is the biggest Nintendo character who still isn't in the game.
I wish we got Hyrule Warriors Impa. She'd be like Cloud.The ones I want most are Shantae, Krystal, and Impa.
Wouldnt mind a kirby character too because that's one of my fave nintendo franchises
I'm sure there's lots of characters that would be fun too tho.
I wish we got Hyrule Warriors anything. Koei Tecmo is friendly enough to let Fatal Frame stuff in Ultimate, but nothing from their collaborations with Nintendo? That makes no sense.
Pretty much this. I loved how Link looked in HW, with the extra armor plates and the blue cape. Fits him so well. I wished we had alt costumes of the HW appearances, at least. HW Ganon would work well, especially with his new Smash attacks. Same with Zelda.
Lol I forgot you had impa and krystal in your sig too. A person of good tastes XD
Dude I'm so glad to see people who like Mischief Makers. It has a special place in my heart from the n64 days :D
Mischief Makers is SUPER underrated. It's one of the best platformers on the console and yet it's severely overlooked along with the Goemon games. Marina is a pipedream and the least I would ever expect of her in Smash is a Mii costume like Goemon got.
Lol yeah true enough, i wouldnt expect her to be popular enough. The games was so interesting. A mii brawler costume would be nice!
I can't tell you how happy I was to see Goemon get a Mii costume. I cried in tears of joy because I never expected Goemon to appear in Smash in any form for a million years let alone a freaking Mii costume.
Once Shantae gets in (or hard disconfirmed) I'll be rooting for Marina Lightyears and Jason Frudnick. As unlikely as they might seem, they hold a special place in my heart and I do feel they both have their place in gaming history. And they'd make amazing and unique fighters in my opinion
Imagine Shake Shake being her Side Special.
As far as I know, no third-party character with less than two games ever got in before, so that might cause an issue. Someone from Sin & Punishment would be easier to get.
Does Joker count? Persona has been around for years, but the games always have a different protagonist, cast, and story from what I can recall.
Even then, he did have that dancing spin-off and that secondary character appearance in Q2 prior to Smash, if we're purely going by number of game appearances.
I guess Geno would count if he get's in. Yes, he had a cameo in M&LSS but that's it. I don't count his Mii costume from Smash 4 or his Spirit from Ultimate as appearances because if we are going that route than literally every one off character that was a Spirit or trophy in Smash are relavent or have appeared in more than one game.
He still had more than one, if you count him being a console.Undertale got into smash as a mii costume. I think it doesn't really matter how many games there are, if there's demand or legacy.
ROB had very little
One character or costume at a time
