Yes. Am from the Netherlands, and Golden Sun enjoyed a lot of popularity here. Around it's time of release, it was easily one of the most popular games that wasn't a major Nintendo franchise, and Sonic stuff. It had huge appeal due to its graphics, Zelda-like puzzle mechanics, the 4 elements and flashy Psynergy, Djinni being sort of similary designed as Pokemon, and it being a JRPG and people loving that because Pokemon wasn't released yet and lots of people where craving a JRPG experience. I borrowed the first game from my older male cousin, and he borrowed The Lost Age from me when I got it. It also got niche popularity when emulating was hype, and GBA games are still just about the most emulated games.. So there's that to consider as well. Far more people might've played the games thanks to emulation. In fact, my first Fire Emblem experience ALSO was due to emulating FE7 (sry Intelligent Systems) and eventually got me to buy FE Path of Radiance.Dang, is he actually THAT popular in europe?
I didnt know.
It could also take a shorter amount of time for them to develop it as they can easily reuse assets from the world map and courts in the story mode of Mario Tennis Aces since it looks strikingly similar to Golden Sun which could help whether it be 4 or a remake. And if they do, I hope Nintendo or it's other subsidiaries like Monolith lends them a hand with it this time and not make them do the whole thing themselves like with Dark DawnEspecially since if it’s a remake, which would be the best course of action for the series now, it would probably take even less time to develop.
Okay that is seriously awesome and makes me want a Tennis game with characters other than MarioHe's ready

Ragnarok or Judgment would be the most eye-catching special shots and nobody could deny it. Make Isaac wield a racket made out of Psynergy and you've got a memorable character that everyone will want to become a mainstay.Okay that is seriously awesome and makes me want a Tennis game with characters other than Mario
To me it seems like Isaac isn't really seen as one of the 'big dogs' on par with Ridley and K. Rool in some fans eyes and you'll see people doubt how popular Isaac is by citing how he didn't have a Mii costume or appearance at all in 4, even as a trophy. Sakurai has also talked about the former two, and even a character like Geno, but he's never talked about Isaac. He also has to deal with that stigma of anime swordsman compared to the likes of Simon and K. Rool, Simon of who people were hyped about and welcoming towards when the leak music slipped.It's funny, because this was the sentiment before Simon and K Rool got revealed.
Not all F-Zero fans are like this....Jeez that F-Zero fan was painful to read... -_-
Edit: So many salty people on the that forum hating on Isaac and his fans. (It's kinda bitty)
A day in which 4Chan is less intolerant than GameFAQS.You know, I would have never thought in a million years that 4Chan would be an ally to Isaac. I would expect it to be worse than GameFAQ, but no, they are (for the most part) in support for him. It's just too surreal to me. What timeline are we in?!?
I would agree with you. But after hearing F-Zero sold about 1.5 Million copies, I'm starting to feel Nintendo is just a bit too cautious when it came to small franchises.Man that f-zero guy might be even more in denial than we are if he thinks that f-zero has any claim to the term relevancy. Captain is one of my mains don't get me wrong but he hasn't had a successful game soooo long.
Ubisoft has learned how to compress their games after working on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. So this technique is SUPER valuable.While not related to Isaac directly, we can assume he will get lots of music
https://gonintendo.com/stories/3163...evelopment-challenges-with-smash-bros-ultimat
They got music compression down to 25% of what the Wii U held.
THAT IS BONKERS. Nintendo are compression gods.
Play the original Mario Tennis games on GB and GBA.Okay that is seriously awesome and makes me want a Tennis game with characters other than Mario
Usually, they don't even attend the TGS in any official capacity, much less announce anything there. For the most part, when they do, it's to give updates about pre-existing games or hardware. I think they showed off the Wiimote at one when the Wii was coming out. I checked quick and found this:Dang, I go for a day and this thread's already like 10 pages ahead of when I last commented. Good on y'all! I've gotta say, it feels weird knowing that Isaac is, for the first time ever, at the forefront of people's minds. I've had the pleasure of introducing a lot of new people to the franchise myself through my preaching of Isaac, so there's even more supporters starting to appear for our boy.
So, assuming we don't get any information shown at Gamescom, I assume the next big event (Not including a Nintendo Direct) is the Tokyo Game Show, right? Have we ever had any reveals at or around the time of that event before, for anything Nintendo, not just Smash?
I mean, i don't think they don't usually appear at TGS that often. However, they will appear at this years TGS, for business.Dang, I go for a day and this thread's already like 10 pages ahead of when I last commented. Good on y'all!

Can you elaborate on this? I would say the Rathalos tweet is the biggest hint towards Isaac's inclusion. I think its a GS reference and I don't think he would tweet a GS reference for no reason when he knows how closely fans will analyze and speculate. What are these other things that you're saying make him look like a shoo-in? I'm curious.If all we had was the Rathalos picture I would be pretty sure Isaac wasn't in the game since I still don't think that was a hint. Luckily there's far more than a picture that may or may not have anything to do with Isaac making him look like a shoo-in
I've noticed Vergeben doesn't seem to have access to what unique characters will make their debut. The only two he seems sure of right now are both (presumably) echoes, Isabelle and Ken.I like how Verge is carrying himself in comparison to loz right now. He's stated the info he's aware of but he's not continuing to flaunt said info around since that tends to lead to contradictions. Makes it easier to see him as credible when he does state stuff.
Though King K. Rool came off as this big surprise that he didn't seem aware of (since we know he mentioned Simon and Ridley). So I'm expecting other surprise characters like that to slip by, like say Isaac lol. That seems like something Sakurai would want to keep underwraps until the shocking reveal since he hasn't appeared since Brawl.
Being the current number one remaining on the exit poll doesn't hurt either.For Isaac we have the K.Roll Trailer sun and Rathalos tweet as hints
Yep, I was just saying the literal hints, fanmade polls help a lot but is more a speculation than a hintBeing the current number one remaining on the exit poll doesn't hurt either.
I know some people don't think much of it (and yeah we can't just blindly follow it), but we have seen plenty of characters that appeared on the exit poll get a nod already.....and that's not just really popular characters. Sukapon and Galacta Knight appeared on the exit poll and now they have an assist trophy and an alt costume. (Meta Knight)
Reminds me of this image.I like how Verge is carrying himself in comparison to loz right now. He's stated the info he's aware of but he's not continuing to flaunt said info around since that tends to lead to contradictions. Makes it easier to see him as credible when he does state stuff.

Savage ...Geno have... the fanbase
I’m pretty sure Gamefaqs is mostly made up of children since it’s such an accessible site. Younger fans probably don’t have access to a GBA and are more for recent characters getting into Smash.You know, I would have never thought in a million years that 4Chan would be an ally to Isaac. I would expect it to be worse than GameFAQ, but no, they are (for the most part) in support for him. It's just too surreal to me. What timeline are we in?!?
To go into more why the tweet is the biggest hint we've got especially coming from Sakurai is remember the interwiew where he talked about his stance on tweeting?Can you elaborate on this? I would say the Rathalos tweet is the biggest hint towards Isaac's inclusion. I think its a GS reference and I don't think he would tweet a GS reference for no reason when he knows how closely fans will analyze and speculate. What are these other things that you're saying make him look like a shoo-in? I'm curious.
There’s a war on 4chan between the old gamers who want Isaac, Geno, and Banjo and the youngest ones who want Rex, Shantae, and Bandana Waddle Dee.
I mean, it’s more of a meme war, lol. It was the same way with Ashley and K Rool. Ashley fans are much younger and convinced themselves that K Rool was too irrelevant. I would also like to see Bandana Waddle Dee though, he’s definitely made a name for himself in the Kirby games. I’d rather see Marx, but he’s only recently become real popular thanks to Star Allies, so I can maybe see him showing up in a future Smash.A....war?
i take back the good things i said about 4chan.
But even then, i can't imagine rex getting into the base roster at this point. His game was just released last year.-
I could see bandana dee (and maybe shantae if there the slight chance she was picked over sk. which i doubt.)
Well, there's also Sakurai's talking about adding Geno. Which tbh, I don't think helps at all. He never talked about K. Rool. He talked about Ridley in a negative sense right after Wii U released, but never about "yeah I'd love to add him". Inklings were talked about a bit but I don't recall what he said.Geno have... the fanbase
Eh... I wouldn't say those are much of hints. In fact those are massive stretches.Skull kid have Simon trailer moon and the background of Sakurai
