I had earlier stated that I think it could be as early as September, but no later than roughly the week before Black Friday. Depends on if they want to focus on Holiday sales or having an incredible game to launch alongside the paid online service.
Both of them are possible. Can't think of a better month for it.
Loving the red background for the Switch!Rosters? I haven't updated mine in two years...I'd add Spring Man now, and trim down the third party characters and some of the veterans I brought back. The idea here was "the maximum amount of characters for a Smash Bros. on Switch, after all DLC."
Goddamn this roster is so ****in slick! Also having Snake, Simon, and Rayman on there gets you bonus points from me.Rosters?

Both are fair guesses, though September to coincide with the online launch seems most likely.
They did it at E3 2014.
You want everyone to have a bad time?
I think it could come sooner than we think. If its coming out this year and they didn't wait til E3 to reveal it, they're showing that they're ready to get this show on the road. I wouldn't be shocked to see something at least mildly significant before the end of March, and it will only go up from there.
They already do when they get back thrown or PK Fire-d by Sans.
Wait... no they didn’t.
Yeah, they did it for Mega Man.
That was E3 2013. E3 2014 was Palutena, Pac Man, and Miis.
They still showed gameplay. And that was E3 2013. Not 2014.
Oof. Same thing. Potato, potato.
I am still waiting for the amazing, Carmen Sandiego, to get into the game.Let's leave that one for @BluePikmin11 to come up with his famous out-of-the-box characters
Really liking this roster. Honestly any reasonable roster that includes Toad has my support, but you've got a lot of other inclusions I really like, like Paper Mario, Excitebiker, Bandanna Dee and Karate Joe. My main criticisms were the things you addressed and said you would cut down on (Shantae, Shovel Knight, Young Link, Pichu, etc.). Other than those the only inclusion I'm not a fan of is Elma.Rosters?

They already do, just ask the Ness players how they feel when they play against Rosalina :^)
Seeing Simon Belmont in there makes me wish Konami were on better terms with the industry in general. We'll probably never get him or have Snake return because of the shenanigans they've been up to as of lateRosters?

If only the Netflix series were somehow produced by Nintendo.Seeing Simon Belmont in there makes me wish Konami were on better terms with the industry in general. We'll probably never get him or have Snake return because of the shenanigans they've been up to as of late
They’re 10 years too late to do that. Snake, Sonic, Mega Man, and Cloud all made the biggest splash in the media over those past 10-12 years. They’re not going anywhere if Nintendo can help it.
I can understand wanting to cut the 3rd party characters, but cutting Sonic? That's a little ridiculous imo. There'd probably be some sizeable backlash from the community too- I'd imagine they'd still want their Mario vs. Sonic in the new game.
September, as exact date as the online service.
3rd.
I'd wager 3rd party, but it could be 2nd if Bayo 3 has anything to say about it.
That’s assuming it is actually Smash 5.
So long as the Bayonetta franchise is owned by Sega and/or Sega isn't bought by Nintendo she'll remain a 3rd party character.
It's published by SEGA iirc.
I have less of a problem with classic characters like Sonic/Megaman, but Cloud, Ryu, and Bayonetta seem a little too disconnected for my tastes. At least Sonic and Nintendo have some history, and he fits the world well.
Sega outright owns the IP.
It's smash 5 alright, don't worry. It was copyrighted 2018, not 2014-2018. Sakurai's tweet about it really sounds like it's not a port. And I'm pretty sure I saw one of Nintendo's official websites refer to it as an "all-new game."
Wait what? I thought Platnium Games develops it and owns it and SEGA publishes it.
Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.
While I currently understand the sentiment (I even shared it at one point when Snake was in Brawl), I feel like Smash's character roster (had it solely been 1st party characters bar Sonic up until Brawl or even Smash 4) would've eventually reached a point where it had to be a celebration of not just Nintendo, but just gaming as a whole. Sure that aspect of 'celebration of Nintendo' is being muddied, but it feels like a natural evolution of the series more than anything imo.
Yeah too many 3rd parties is never a good idea. It should be noted however that the 3rd parties in for example smash 4 are still heavily outnumbered by the nintendo characters. I mean six 3rd party characters is pretty well balanced for a roster of 58 characters.
My friend's godfather's gay lover works at Nintendo. 70% of the Roster is Kid Icarus Uprising characters. Shrek was also added by popular demand, he has a jetpack and makes references to dated memes.
Afaik, almost none of the games Platinum games have been primary developers for are owned by them in any way.
See now I'm not sure if Shrek is in it at all. My Dad's friend's dog's previous owner works for Nintendo Australia. He says that Shrek rides on Donkey and his theme is All-Star by Smashmouth. Now I'm worried...
