Well, get into the Japanese mobile game bubble and you'll have a pretty good idea of all these characters. Saber, Jeanne, Shirou, and Lancer mean nothing to everyone else, but even be tangentially aware of the game genre they're a part of and they're iconic no-brainers.
Its possible, that all of this is true. However I just do not see Nintendo not wanting to promote FE Three Houses. Its very likely we will get a Three Houses rep. Especially because Nintendo is choosing this time around, its very likely they will push for one of their new characters. And given the fact the DLC character and FE Three Houses might come out around the same time. It makes sense Nintendo will want to capitalize on this and push a character from one of their most anticipated 2019 games. Metroid Prime 4 as far as we know isn't nearly as far in development as FE Three Houses. So pushing a Metroid character might not make the most sense. At least in the first fighters pass, if there is a second fighters pass then I can see Sylux being pushed here.
What I'm getting from this is that the reason Square has basically no representation is because they were too busy writing the story for WoL
I know, I also noticed how SE has been doing lately as well, the FGC has been in for quite a ride when Noctis and 2B were announced.
Luigi became hella gay for her
Thanks, nothing to it really. Open mindedness, acceptance of each's opinion regardless. Dashed with politness and respect. You're welcome aboard if you're willing to bind with these.
We're slowly building up the greatest roster of all time. First, we got Gothitelle as an echo of Gardevoir and Mario2. Now we've got Katalina.
I blew your mind, didn't I.
Naw y'all are like one of those nature spots untouched by capitalists I'm just here to watch
I see you weren't around on that fateful Sunday...
This argument means nothing after we got characters like Corrin and (as much as it pains me to say it) Bayonetta. Hell, you could even argue the DLC veterans for Sm4sh (excluding Mewtwo for obvious reasons) were generally unknown to anyone who hadn't played Smash before.
She's on par with the producer from idolm@ster or the general from kancolle.
Dragon King as the original fighter...
This isn't a hot take.
Shut up!
You’re right, now that I think about it it’s not an opinion either, it’s just a straight-up fact.
The problem with Geno is he also does not fit Square's business patterns. He is not relevant anymore and does not represent the company. If he was added as we've seen from the datamining. He would be another Mario character and not seen as a Square representative. I agree Geno would be easier to get, but he would not help Square cross promote anything. In terms of money he would only help Square make short term income instead of long term income. Square prefers to put characters that are long term income. Im not saying Geno is impossible, but if we look at Square's past business patterns. He does not for the model of characters they use in other games.
Actually, now that I check, neither is Benny the Spaceman from the Lego Movie, which is pretty exciting.
Mario2 is not a spirit, omg i think he's in guys.
To be honest, Monster Hunter would be an amazingly big Japanese pick. Everyone in Japan knows about the Monster Hunter series and a fighter would probably be a very welcome addition for them.
for me personally yes to banjo. crash is a great addition imo. banjo i honestly couldn't care less. crash had a kart game, a main line series and a party game i think. I dont find the two on similar levels at all. banjo has like 2 great games and nothing of note since 2000 and he's microsoft. unless Microsoft wants to reboot the series (which doesnt fit at all into their plans in my estimation) they dont gain enough to do a deal for the characters use. very similar to SE and geno honestly. what fans want and companies want do not often overlap.
the DLC is for everyone that plays smash not the spoiled group that believes everything centers on them their desire for little known characters travis would be cool and he'd be a surprise for most. my main point is there will be at least two characters that will rock twitter and generate interest form nonsmash focused groups like ryu, cloud, and bayo did. looking at nintendo dlc record on main series games for things like mario kart, zelda, and smash 4 it is honestly impressive. i dont think that nintendo will swing low with dlc for the most preordered switch game ever. they will go for it all. i dont think there are many Nintendo characters left that embody that direction for the company. im not looking at what fans wantor which is considred "hype." Sakurai already appeased older and vocal fans about characters with addtional villains and the inclusion of requested characters. For DLC im looking at what nintendo has done in the past and how it will want to project into the future. the dlc characters in 4 brought mechanics, inputs, and had clear design goals (ryu and bayo were made fo hardcore players featuring combos and input commands) and cloud was made to be easy but still featured new mechanics.
A Universal rep made so much sense in hindsight, with them collaborating with Nintendo on both theme park attractions and that animated Mario movie
Neither is Gothitelle. Looks like our DLC so far is Mario2, Gardevoir with a Gothitelle echo, and Katalina from Granblue.
This may be the best DLCs in any game in the history of gaming.
Should've been the Grinch smh. He has more Smash history.A Universal rep made so much sense in hindsight, with them collaborating with Nintendo on both theme park attractions and that animated Mario movie
You sure it isn't Riptor from Killer Instinct?
I mean, if Nintendo skipped out on Xenoblade 2, I don't think a Three Houses rep is guaranteed. I'd actually argue a MP4 rep is more likely. All signs are pointing to the game coming out next year, and given it's seemingly high budget and the franchise's poor track record in Japan, it definitely needs the promotion far more than FE.
