Oh- I did play through it! I just wanted to asks if it was true that Kamek was just....Well...A Magikoopa in Japan without any special name, since I forgot about it. No need to get heated up, it was a question not an argument lmao-
Yes, but it matters just as much as Bowser being called "Koopa" in Japan
Please do not be extremely let down if Tetris is not.
Personally I think the whole "Kamek is just a regular Magikoopa in Japan" argument is misconstrued a bit.
Well duh, if it did matter we wouldn't get any Pokemon. I just wanted more knowledge since while I played Yoshi's Islands games, I was never fond of their stories in general, gotta admit it.
It's a playable boss mode, isn't it...
Time for some weird localization stuff and Japanese trivia.
Emphasis mine.
I'm wasting so much time checking the calendar to see, if by some miracle we skipped to Tuesday already.
In Japan, you're correct. クッパ (Kuppa) (derived from the Japanese word for the Korean dish gukbap) is the Japanese name of the character we call Bowser. Conversely, what we call the Koopa are actually called カメ一族 (kame-ichizoku) or カメ族 (kame-zoku), which literally translates to the "Turtle Tribe." We started calling them Koopa due to a misunderstanding in the translation team.
Make a moveset for him then we'll talk.If we're talking Yoshi characters, I'd honestly rather have Poochy.
He's made appearances in every Yoshi's Island game, had his own starring role in the 3DS port of Yoshi's Woolly World, where it had been renamed Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World (and came with a series of really cute short films), and he also made an appearance in a recent mainline Mario game through Mario Odyssey, which is something that even characters like Waluigi, Daisy, and Geno can't claim.
I don't think he'll happen any time soon (fingers crossed for an assist trophy), but he's adorable and I love him.
"Oh you like BAND? Name five of their albums"
woW just use ur iMaGInATIoN
That is a tough question, I won't lie.
You guys are getting way to defensive LOL.

I don't really see why you need to make a complete moveset for someone for just wanting a character in Smash, but ok.
Sadly, I feel that in terms of becoming a Smash Bros. contender, Gardevoir is past its prime.
I did a bit of research on Fulgore and Brian recently.
Poochy would be cool to have honestly.If we're talking Yoshi characters, I'd honestly rather have Poochy.

While I'm not against Poochy as an idea, his appearances aren't better than Kamek's.If we're talking Yoshi characters, I'd honestly rather have Poochy.

Ness confirmed.that release date... could it be??

Kingdom Hearts had a 3DS game, Dream Drop Distance.
And two games on DS (Days and Re:Coded.)
Kingdom Hearts has had the following releases on Nintendo consoles:
Okay, well what about Magnus, Saki Amamiya or Takamaru, as their status as assist trophies have made them more relevant than the other characters I mentioned.I already made an analysis Simon here when the Vergeben leak was first out:

With Vergeben’s Simon Belmont/Ridley leak on Gamefaqs having notable credibility, I figured that I would analyze Simon again. What is the main reason Sakurai wanted to add a Konami character in Smash Switch, despite the company’s incredibly awful treatment to Kojima during their restructure? I can only think of five possible reasons, one of them being personal impact. Sakurai has personal history with Castlevania since the vert first game on the NES, based on the statement he gave in the Sakurai x Nomura interview:
“For me personally, it was the year 1986, when games like The Legend of Zelda and Castlevania were released, and I experienced physically interactive games. They had a big impact on me.”
I feel that such personal impact with this iconic franchise would tempt him to consider a Castlevania character. Second, Simon's potentially massive ballot popularity. I have seen Simon Belmont constantly requested and campaigned in online forums since the ballot creation. Simon’s amount of votes could have convinced Sakurai enough at least consider the idea thoroughly. Third, the move-set potential Simon offers. Simon has a distinct weapon not primarily used by other Smash characters, which would be his whip. That and his assortment of different weapons like the throwing axe, holy water, and boomerang could have tempted Sakurai to make him playable.
Fourth, pure will. I think there would be no way Konami characters would be a consideration to Sakurai without getting past the Konami Kojima treatment. I feel two things would play into this. One, the strong likelihood that Kojima would want Snake back in Smash. Even back in Smash 4, he still wanted Snake to be in the game despite not being contacted by Sakurai to do negotiations. Metal Gear Solid is still Kojima’s baby, and I cannot imagine an event where Kojima would not want it to happen even in the hard circumstances. If Sakurai contacted him primarily for permission, Kojima would still say yes and possibly help Sakurai with his anger with Konami.
Fifth and most importantly, Sakurai wanting to have Smash be the #1 fighting game roster ever. Sakurai has managed to create an unbelievable roster for Smash 4 thanks to the third-party additions like Sonic, Megaman, Pac-Man, Ryu, Cloud, all big gaming icons in a single fighting game. With Smash 4 in specific, he wanted the 3DS/Wii U installment to be the best character game in the world. If he wanted to fill in the remaining bases for big third-parties like he stated in a Nintendo Dream interview, then he will have to get past Konami’s treatment and try to negotiate one of Konami’s big icons to truly make Smash the number one character game in the world.

In my perspective, with Konami’s restructuring in 2016 when the Smash Switch project plan was created, they would still be open and fair with the negotiation of Simon Belmont. Around this time, they previously brought a majority of their old library via Wii U eShop consistently throughout the years when other third-parties couldn’t, allowed their titles to be part of the NES Mini lineup, and had a Castlevania anime in production in 2016. (If Vergeben’s information is anything to go by.) I personally think in 2016, Konami was free and available to make profitable business deals with Nintendo and Sakurai. All of these factors create an small opening in which Simon Belmont’s inclusion in Smash Bros. is very possible. This is just my theory though to explain how an addition like Simon came to be.
For Zero, I do not see multiple characters from the same third-party franchise happening. He is definitely a very popular request in the Smash community, but I only see him as a Mii costume and trophy at best.
For Marx, I am already settled with Bandanna Dee, and I think the Star Allies DLC was too late to influence the roster decisions in 2016.
For Scorpion/Sub-Zero, I cannot imagine them being popular enough in the ballot to be seriously considered. Mortal Kombat is definitely a huge deal, but in terms of requests, I do not see them being highly demanded.
