honestly i would just like some more characters created past the year 2000. i know that a lot of nintendo's most famous characters were created in the 80s/90s but they also have characters from past that too, and there are especially a decent number of third party characters from the last two decades that could probably be better than throwaway retro rep hayabusa
Characters created past the year 2000?
Okay, here.
Sora, Kingdom Hearts, 2002
2B, NieR Automata, 2017
Dante, Devil May Cry, 2001
Monster Hunter, 2004
And we already have Joker from Persona 5, which was released in 2016 and before him, Bayonetta which was released in 2009.
As for Nintendo, they've included several post-2000 characters already.
Dark Samus, Metroid Prime 2, 2004
Roy, Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, 2002
Lucina, Chrom, Robin, Fire Emblem Awakening, 2012
Dark Pit, Kid Icarus Uprising, 2012
Zero Suit Samus, Metroid Zero Mission, 2004
Ike, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, 2005
Lucas, Mother 3, 2006
Olimar, Pikmin, 2001 (Alph, Pikmin 3, 2013)
Lucario, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, 2006
Toon Link, Zelda: Wind Waker, 2002
Villager, Animal Crossing, 2001
Wii Fit Trainer, Wii Fit, 2007
Rosalina & Luma, Super Mario Galaxy, 2007
Greninja, Pokémon X & Y, 2013
Shulk, Xenoblade Chronicles, 2010
Bowser Jr, Super Mario Sunshine, 2002
Corrin, Fire Emblem Fates, 2015
Inkling, Splatoon, 2017
Isabelle, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, 2012
Incineroar, Pokémon Sun & Moon, 2016
Miis, Wii, 2006
So, 25/77 (26/78 if counting Alph) characters are from the 00s+, 25/77 characters are from the 80s, and 27/77 (34/84 if you count the Koopalings) characters are from the 90s.
Going a little further, 14/77 are from the 00s and 11/77 (12/78 if counting Alph) are from the 2010s.
All-in-all considering how many series were created in the 80s and 90s and stayed relevant vs created in the 2000s on, this isn't really a bad spread.
