We have Joker and we also have two FF7 characters. I don't think this matters as much as it probably used to. Those picking the characters are basing their choices on who they think people will buy. That's it, and there's pros and cons to that. And let me tell you; Reimu will sell a lot of passes, especially eastward.
I already know that Ren (Persona) and Cloud (Final Fantasy) don't have significant history with Nintendo consoles, and Reimu doesn't have significant history with any videogame consoles. But it's certainly not a problem at all.
I don't care if a 3rd party franchise has significant console game history or not.
We will probably get only 1 indie rep in fighters pass 2.
RE: What about Banjo and Terry?
— Will (PushDustIn) (@PushDustIn) December 20, 2020
Terry brought most of the KoF franchise to Switch. Look how many KoF titles there are on the eShop. He's not irrelevant at all.
Banjo broke the barrier between Microsoft and Nintendo even more. He made huge waves on the Internet...
Perhaps, i wouldn't know completely but I'm sure it does bring attention to the franchise.
Why would it bring attention?
The famous one is back in 2017 Kobuto Battle V was 2nd on the E-shop behind Mario Odyssey during the latter's release week. Yes, this comes with a bunch of asterisks but it's one you'll see thrown around a lot. iirc, there are ~6 Touhou fan games on the NA E-shop, plus maybe 3 with physical releases. The number could easily be higher though, I should check... either way they don't have sales stats available afaik, so we don't know if they sell well. I wonder how many pages you'd have to go through on the "Best Sellers" tab to reach a Touhou game. I'd guess it varies by region.
Who made Touhou Luna Nights?
Team Ladybug, a game developer group who specializes in 2D games. Their titles are fangames but some like Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue get official backing from the main developers of the series.
However, ZUN still owns the rights to Sakuya, and the other Touhou characters. Also, are Reimu and Marisa in Luna Nights?
Yes, but as Boss characters. Only Sakuya is playable, as the title would suggest. The game's mechanics, level-, and enemy-design are focused around her time manipulation abilities and for it the game is not only one of the most well made and unique metroidvanias out there but also one of the most fun; options and character control are the name of the game and it feels great. I beat the whole game on keyboard and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I hope I like controller just as much.
I assumed that Sakuya was the main protagonist of Luna Nights because her theme song is Luna Clock Lunar Dial. What other appearances has Reimu and Marisa made their appearances as antagonists in Touhou fangames?
I've seen time manipulation abilities in other platform games as well.
Well, that's kinda a tough question considering the number of fangames out there. But limiting the assessment to only titles on the E-shop...
You partially answered my question, but I'm talking about out of all Touhou fangames, not just within the Eshop.
Well, I have only played a small minority of the literal 100's of fangames out there. Going by my gut, I'd guess that Reimu and Marisa are playable more often than not, both in terms of obligate playable/non-playable and taking into account games where they're playable and also non-playable. But given fangames exist of all game genres and I couldn't guess at the distribution/demographics of those genres I couldn't put any reasonable numbers to that guess.
To name the ones I remember off the top of my head, besides the ones already mentioned, there's Touhou: Puppet Dance Performance (Touhou Pokemon effectively, with Reimu and Marisa being two of your rivals for the game), Concealed the Conclusion (only Reimu as an antagonist, since Marisa's the playable character) and Youyou Kengeki Musou (a Youmu focused hack and slash where both show up as bosses along the way).
Reimu and Marisa are boss fights in Touhouvania 2, which-Like Luna Nights-stars Sakuya as the main character.
So what are some other fanmade Touhou spinoffs besides the Touhouvania series and Luna Nights?
That sounds apt for Reimu's victory theme!
Yeah, it does. Considering the music is called "The Gensokyo the Gods Loved" which is already a straight up nod to the region where most of the event take place but also (if I were to connect it with the doujin aspect of the series) an opening song for the infamous fananime called 'Fantasy Kaleidoscope'. You know, the very thing that make outsiders confused whether or not Touhou is an anime or a game.
Yeah, I mean that could work but The Gensokyo the Gods Loved is a good contrast between Touhou's fast paced and more melodic songs. I get that the theme was played during Nitori's stage but it felt too 'peaceful' for a Yokai that is all about invention which is a big contrast to the more traditional japanese feeling of the world.

I know that one of the opening songs for Memories of Phantasm is a remix of The Gensokyo the Gods Loved.
Speaking of PC-98 Reimu, PC-98 Touhou is basically similar to the Classic Sonic era circumstance-wise.
So when does the song Theme of Eastern Story appear in the Touhou series?This has the advantages both of appearing in virtually every game in the series in some form, thus not privileging any one game over any other, and in being a rather tight loop that'd be very conducive to a short victory screen, where you really want a cool ~5 second burst of music to get the point across even if people skip the results screen immediately. Joker, for example, does this with the P5 victory theme, where there's a longer riff, but even if you only hear the first few seconds it's still very cool and feels complete. While I absolutely adore The Gensokyo the Gods Loved, it's only from one game, and kinda needs to "get going", if you will - the first ~5 seconds don't have a "victory screen" feel to me, even if the overall song conveys that sensation.

I hope that happens
HM feels the most smash-like out of all the three so i think that one makes the most sense if they're going to rip it directly, if they make a new remix i hope it's the EoSD ver. bc it's my favorite one.
There will always be those with their own ideal Touhou. Those who absolutely insist the series should remain underground and unknown, no matter what.
I don't see the Touhou fandom going like the persona fandom that got filled with annoying people, i think it would be a Terry situation since the games aren't as beginner friendly to new players so the fandom won't be filled with new people.
I remember that Ren's (Persona) and Terry's (KOF) reveals set off ignorant fans, while those who were aware of Persona and King of Fighters's fame were delighted. I predict that the same might happen with Reimu unfortunately.
