Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Actually he we be a Game Boy Advance rep along with

The DS games were actually ports.

Yes, but not all of them were ports, and to my knowledge the GBA games were never released outside of Japan.

I don't care enough to look that up though. Going off memory here.

I don't know it seems like something Disney would do and take advantage of. Most iconic cartoon mascot in a game with most iconic video game mascot. Too big to pass out on.

There's also King Features' Popeye. Yes, I know he started out as (and still is) a comic character, but he's largely known for his cartoons, and he might become THE big contender for non-game character in Smash, even if it'll be years off from now before he's public-domain around the whole world.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

Even in the absurdly unlikely event Disney wanted that, Nintendo would veto it. Mickey Mouse is not only not a video game character, but more problematic is that he's a way bigger cultural icon than anyone else in Smash including someone like Mario or honestly including "every other character put together and it's not close". Nintendo won't be having their own characters ultimately play second fiddle in a game that's a celebration of Nintendo's own history.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

A few daily reminders:
-Shantae, Black Shadow and Geno are shoo-in
-Isaac and Skull Kid have a 50/50 chance of making it in
-Rayman's inclusion in Brawlhalla lowers his chances at being playable in Smash

Spoiler

your most wanted won't be in

 

[Will]

Mickey Mouse yes.

King Mickey though.

That's like saying Goku can't be in but Goku from DragonBall Warriors is okay.
That's dumb.

Mickey is honestly more iconic to be honest. Popeye is up there but not as much as him. I recall he's also only Public Domain in Europe.

 

[Moon Monkey]

*ahem*

RULE #1: VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS ONLY

thanks for your time

This is the one true rule I believe Sakurai will uphold through and through.
Smash is all about celebrating gaming history. Albeit with a hard focus on Nintendo gaming history, but the history of iconic gaming legends none the less.

Disney is a monster of a corporation. Passing up a few thousand dollars is no big deal for them.

Nintendo is gonna have to be the one to get the ball rolling if they want Mickey in Smash.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Disney owns Sora and Mickey Mouse and both characters are iconic af

True, true. That is honestly a fair point there.

Pretty much yeah. Mickey is still stonewalled for the most part until further notice though, given that the one rule Sakurai is maintaining so far is "VG characters only".

• "3rd Party characters need to have legacy"

This one I don't get. Where is there evidence to the contrary?

Come on, Sakurai could make an exception for Mickey to get in, he's not only a cartoon icon, he's also iconic to humanity.

He's also a character who isn't a videogame character

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

hello

This one wouldn't have happened if she literally hadn't become a Nintendo exclusive. She's basically a first party.

So I ask again, where's the evidence to the contrary?

 

[GunBlaze]

staindgrey , Lucario made his first appearance in the Pokémon Red/Blue Rescue Team games, which first came out on the GBA.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

He's also a character who isn't a videogame character

That's why i said Sakurai could make an exception just for him.

But Shovel Knight is already an Assist Trophy.

Living capitalism is kinda sad to be iconic, ngl. If you want a Disney gaming icon, go to ToonTown Online or something.

I think you mean weekly, not annual.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

Mario? :v

 

[Noipoi]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

Jesus.

Actually nah, Mickey's above Jesus.

 

[Will]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

Ronald McDonald

 

[Shroob]

Is it wrong that I just want the complete roster to use as a desktop background?

.......god, I remember sneaking into my high-school's computer lab and printing out Brawl's Roster in like, 480p on printer paper and hanging that **** up in my room for a good few months until the ink began to run.



Doesn't feel like it's been that long.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Mario? :v

Nice one bro

Ronald McDonald

[Dukeofdeath5]

AH wait, the answer was batman

Beat me to it!

All hail Mickey freakin' Mouse!!1

So I ask again, where's the evidence to the contrary?

Just because she's a "Nintendo exclusive" doesn't make her a non-third party as long as she's owned by a separate company. Is Travis Touchdown a third party? Is [guy from MadWorld] a third party? they're not.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Mario? :v

I mean, I figured, but is he actually that close?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

Superman, Batman, maybe Spider-Man.
Darth Vader too maybe.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Just because she's a "Nintendo exclusive" doesn't make her a non-third party as long as she's owned by a separate company. Is Travis Touchdown a third party? Is [guy from MadWorld] a third party? they're not.

But you're acting like she got in for any reason OTHER then the fact that she became a Nintendo exclusive.

And she didn't.

She literally got in by becoming Nintendo exclusive.

And this is coming from someone that LOVES Bayo's inclusion (hell I voted for her) but if the Bayo 2 thing hadn't happened she'd never had gotten in.

You can't make that excuse for any third party that was a very specific scenario.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

batman

Batman

Objetively correct.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Ahhh.

When are we gonna get Harry Potter, guys?
