Hmmm, it is unfortunate that he is not more well known. Personally I love the story of Robin hood so another figure who is like him is really interesting. And well I hope they will add 3rd representatives for 3rd party's so you can have your wish buddy. It is true they went for a more global appeal despite him having longer running history with the company. This is the fate I fear for Geno and Banjo fans, because it is a repeated business pattern despite being different companies. In the end companies want money over long character history and fan loyalty. They choose the candidates that are more well known and who's series are popular all around. It is unfortunate and I hope that these companies realize that these characters have many loyal fans. And these fans would love their inclusion in Smash and would love for them to have new games.
I actually really love game and movie scores. I love hearing different instruments used and the more unique the more interesting it is. I love hearing the Erhu instrument which is a Chinese violin. Or the jaw harp that has a rubber band like sound, if you listen to the music from Rayman it has it. So my music tastes are all around from the epic to the more arcade like sound. I was super happy to hear Yoko Shimomura has joined the composing team in Smash Ultimate. Her music in Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom hearts is breathtaking, she is truly a musical genius. Also she is the composer of the music in Super Mario RPG and composed Vega's theme in Street Fighter. I really like both Goemon's theme as arcade sounding and epic. I hope they add it to Smash Ultimate.
I actually love Japanese folklore, thats one of the reasons I love the Samurai Warriors and the Nioh franchise. As they explain a lot of folklore and historical figures. Like I had no idea there were white samurai's, William Adams one of the first white samurai's has a fascinating story. Personally my favorite era in Japan is the Sengoku period. I really hope one day I can travel to Japan, I would love to see the Water City Gujo Hachiman.
Thanks. Goemon would be it for me. I do have few other wishes but I know they're near impossible to achieve I won't bother.
I think anyhting can be pulled. I mean what was the sense of bringing Bubsy back. Not everything has to be a hard cut. They may choose some over Geno, but that wouldn't be a smart move, as how unprofitable it is. Banjo, I'm not sure of. I'd take anything over Steve though. Unfortunately, according to leaks, that's getting harder and harder to realize.
Oh who doesn't like the Erhu, it has an international appeal. Though I prefer the Japanese Shamisen, if done right. You'll find it in some Goemon tracks.
You're asking someone who prefer cartoonish looks over realistic on Jaw Harps, of course I love those XD love Rayman too, and those specific music as well. Well, Rayman was a wonder in its music choices anyway.
The geniuses in gaming music to me were always Konami and Manami (who did the Mega Man tracks).
You know, I never heard of that city before. Thanks.
Well, one more thing about the Goemon crew. They have a giant wooden robot friend named Impact (who has a mind of his own), they call him when in need. Here's a recent itteration of one of the most famous Goemon tracks, I'm Impact. Done by the lovely fellows of The 8-Bit Big Band.
Edit: Oh I almost forgot. One of the cool features of Goemon games is that he travels around Japan
