This game really gives off the feeling that it's going to have an even bigger focus on fanservice. There weren't a ton of new releases between '14-'16 (when this roster was likely finalized). Aside from Splatoon, a gen 7 Pokemon, BotW, Odyssey, and a few others, there will be many new games that may have to wait until DLC (ARMS, Xenoblade 2). This means that Sakurai may be digging back rather than ahead for a good number of newcomers, especially when you consider the Ballot.
His chances are certainly much higher as a base character, I agree. I just don't want to discount him as a DLC character simply because we don't know how well he did on the Ballot. DLC wouldn't be just about promoting recent releases, but also satisfying fan demand. Corrin's game may have been popular, but they as a character were strongly disliked. You could still have high potential for sales by offering a character that people have literally voted for.
No, there are others.
It will be interesting to see who of any will be brought back. The only one I don't really miss is Helirin, but frankly, I'm for bringing attention to all of Nintendo's smaller series. It's a shame to see those were basically the ones to get the axe.
What's more, I was banking for Isaac, Ray, and Barbara to be playable in Smash 4 alongside Little Mac, so I hope they get something in Smash for Switch....
You have to press "Reply" and that will automatically include the quote.
Same goes for Devil and Starfy. It's possible that Isaac or Matthew were planned early on as a very low priority inclusion that would only get in if they had a much more generous amount of time. They were scrapped and Isaac was kept out of the AT role in case they wanted to come back to him at some point. Maybe I'm being too hopeful and reading too much into it but who knows?
Thank you! As you can see, I got it right
Saturos did stand out more than Menardi, though. IMO, at least.R.I.P all the cut ATs from Brawl.
Comic of the day!
Reminder: When these comics were made, The Lost Age wasn't even a thing.
p.s can you plz add me a supporter
Whoa, I'm surprised! Seemed like those guys never talk about Isaac or Golden Sun. Feels like Isaac may yet have a sizable, if rather silent, fanbase. Just gotta hope he did noticeably well on the ballot, and that sways Nintendo and Sakurai enough to give us more Golden Sun fanservice for the upcoming Smash. Of course the big hope being Isaac joining the battle as a playable fighter.
I'm also not sure we'll get any new IP tomorrow. The Brawl trailer which showed five at once at E3 were mostly characters from pre-existing franchises. And Snake. It's possible, though. I know what I'm not expecting, but I have no clue what we're actually going to see.
Well technically three new IPs.
I remembered Wario, but kind of considered him part of Mario for that trailer.
Well it would be a much cheaper (therefore safer) venture, but I imagine the returns would also be pretty paltry.
Plus, Golden Sun would be one of the first new main JRPG’s on the Switch, making it a hot sell for a lot of people. The 3DS already has a lot of JRPG’s so Golden Sun would just be seen as another’s one of those games if it was on the 3DS. The Switch has a lot of room for Golden Sun to grow.
That's true too! There aren't many big fantasy JRPGs on the Switch just yet, so it would be the perfect way to pull in new fans!
Lol. Golden Sun returns... for the PS4! And Isaac is confirmed playable for a new Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.
