Don't worry, i will be there with you.
Sure, we could just brush off another "coincidence", just like all these others we are brushing off.
Interestingly enough, this lends some credence to the theory thrown around that there might be a character locked behind the Switch internet plan. There's clear precedence now.
Go to 2007 Smash Boards and ask them how many newcomers they wait.
Pretty sure that's not how it works...
Honest to god, I thought you meant Knuckles at first.
If they were working on Banjo before they even secured the rights, that's a crime. And Microsoft would so get paid in the upcoming lawsuit.
"This is by far the worst a student has ever done on one of my exams. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Duder no! What are you doing. An exam is certainly more importantly...and more likely to give you less of a headache than being here in this cluster****.
Honestly Phil having lunch with Nintendo is not too surprising. Phil seems like a pretty chill dude that doesn't take rivalry seriously.
Extra manpower does not really help make characters get created faster, it more allows you to create more characters and other content simultaneously. No amount of manpower is getting a new unique Smash character in an acceptable working condition within a few months.
No it is not a matter of skepticism, it is a developmental impossibility for a unique character to be created from scratch within a few months. If Banjo was really decided for Smash during Phil Spencer's nebulous "lunch with Nintendo", it's for DLC, not the base game.
That's not quite how it went either; Sonic was on the original project plan but Sega rejected it initially and then later changed their mind mid-development. When Sonic was added he was still being created from scratch.
You know what this actually can prove though?
Assuming a fake leak, I think it's all a matter of bad communication.
no if you look at the very tiny pixel on little mac's face its a crumb from the bread so its there
Yeah, I was initially buying it but then I remembered June was like 4 months ago.
protagonist from i am bread confirmed for smrash bros???!?!?
*Open refrigerator* *Empty*
Handshake deals are indeed a thing and undoubtedly would've happened on some levels to get Sonic in Brawl that fast.
I meant working on a character before you get the rights.
Why not all of them but as alternative costume.
Rabbid Peach or I'll lose my faith in humanity.
I think your thinking too hard about this, whether we think it's real or fake, they are under a NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. This means that they aren't allowed to talk about it even IF we care or not. If they violated their terms agreed to by them and Nintendo they would face legal repercussions and lose their reputation. I'm currently studying law, I am well versed in this.
Of course, but I feel like if they set up a dedicated lunch event the day of E3 before Sakurai left back for Japan, something was definitely up.
Notice that it's offset by quotes. As in, it's not me saying it, but instead the words of the type of people who would say it. In other words, people who say this type of drivel:
Not saying I don't believe you, but if a character takes a year to develop, then why did we get a new dlc character every couple of months back in smash 4? Shouldn't those characters have taken a year to develop? Or were they being developed before the game even came out?
I've been saying this and feel so strongly about this. Like part of me wishes we got the Grinch leak the week of the Smash direct so like it could have been a ooo maybe this is a possibility! Instead of 1-2 weeks of people feeling it has to be real and expecting no less, when Sakurai would definitely have planned it to be a pleasant surprise.
With both of these in mind, reminder that such a meeting could have been for securing the rights of the first dlc character. I'm pretty positive Banjo will be in Ultimate, just not positive as a base roster character.
That's ok! Sorry if I came off harsh and rude
This doesn't answer your question exactly, but those aren't relatable situations because the doc characters weren't being worked on alongside a full game of 70+ characters.
Why would they be under an NDA with a company that they do not work with at all and never have worked with?
From what I know... But maybe the story I heard is wrong. It was more of like, after a discussion of how Rabbit+Mario worked well with Nintendo last year, they started to work on a proposal project.
