We are just 15 supporters away from 400
Apparently Nintendo just made a lot of old videos private.We are just 15 supporters away from 400
Also apparently the Ashley thread found out that there is bunch of unlisted 3DS videos on Nintendo's YouTube channel, can this mean a new direct is coming? Although I would prefer GS on Switch, this could be a small possibility of a 3DS Golden Sun although chances for that are slim since it hasn't been too long since Aces went gold.
Dang it
Indeed. This sort of move usually is to help clear out the channel in advance of putting up new videos. Just no new videos as yet.
I've added you.
Hell yeah that's what I like too see
Whenever I feel a little discouraged about my support, I remind myself that stuff like this still regularly happens. Maybe not every Isaac supporter is as vocal as I am, but we're still one of the biggest support bases out there.
And aside from King K.Rool and Geno (who even had Mii costumes), Isaac is one of the more popular characters who hasn't had an appearance in a long time. Alot of the other popular characters have relevancy on their side and some characters who used to be some of the more popular choices sometimes wither in demand for the next game like Ghirahim, Prince Fluff or Zoroark, yet Isaac is still amongst the one of the most demanded characters. It's really a testament to how much of a good fit he is for Smash
I could honestly see this as a possibility
I actually do believe in this theory. It just makes no sense to have Isaac's AT cut when many of the less popular ATs from less popular franchises got to stay, no matter what reception of DD was like. It would take no effort to port back the AT that doesn't even reference the game, and they actually didn't shy away from it since DD's Weyard is a song on Palutena's Temple.
Maybe they cut it because it didn't work properly on 3DS.
I don't see what's so different about Isaac's projectile that would make it more intensive for the 3DS. Sure, it's a giant hand that stays on screen for a long time, but Andross shoots a number of massive 3D polygons out of his mouth and he's able to exist just fine. Isaac's really is just a large and moving wall of a hitbox in functionality.
That's something I don't understand. If they had to take out Isaac's trophy, then why didn't they add at least a Matthew trophy to represent DD since it was recent?
Just what I also said; Golden Sun wasn't high priority for Sakurai. That applies to the series in general.
This is my line of thought as well. It just doesn't make sense for him to be completely absent, I'm sure he was considered for the roster but ended up not making it due to other characters being prioritized. And DLC was mostly veterans and 3rd party characters.
That wouldn't make sense for me regarding trophies since it would imply that every other series represented in trophies is higher priority than Golden Sun.
Trophies require a new model to work with. The models in DD aren't high quality/mesh well with Smash all that much. It does take more effort to fix up the model that simply take a song and port it over. And that's assuming he wanted the updated Isaac. It's also possible he was planned as a character, so didn't actually leave the model in there for people to "figure out" he was planned at some point. Sakurai has often preferred to tell us development plans instead of us getting it through datamines/leaks.
We don't know how much it sold, it could be 1 unite to 999.999 unites (the only thing we know it wasn't a million seller). But I really doubt that it didn't even arrive at 100k unites. I don't know where did you get that number, but if you were using vgzchart (which is an unreliable site), the game sold 800k, not 80k.
Maybe it wasn't the fact of the hand itself, maybe it was the interaction of the hand and how the hand push them away. The psynergy even affected the characters when they were invincible (with the star power).
They could have created the model from the ground, so that would mean they would have increased the work (they would have to change the clothes). Also, maybe they couldn't port the sprite from DD because the engines weren't compatible...
Yeah, but we have Saki and he didn't even appeared in the last game of the franchise... We know if they reused the same model from Brawl?
Isaac no longer being the protagonist at the time could put him in "lower priority" too. That is, for AT's. On the other hand, with Saki, his sequel did pretty poorly too. DD did pretty decently, and was also less obscure in the long run. So maybe Matthew was on his mind for an AT change and it never worked out.
Yeah. Also Barbara didn't appear as an AT when she had a game in 2013 (though it was only in Japan) but she appeared as a trophy...
Well, Sakurai can have bias. We know that much. But yeah, there might be more to it than we can guess.
In Smash 4 Isaac way more tougher competition as well regarding new IPs, Animal Crossing sells like hotcakes which easily explains Villager, Little Mac was a Brawl assist as well and has way more history and was more iconic to the gaming community and Shulk was most likely prioritised over Isaac due to the fact that Monolith would be still developing RPGs while Camelot would move back to Mario Sports games.
VGChartz is not accurate or trustworthy. Trust me on that one.
So is the data made up or are there sources bad?
First, Intelligent Systems (the creators), despite being a 3rd party (welp, second party for the fandom), it's VERY close to Nintendo in terms of bussiness. They even have their building near to the Nintendo Headquarters (I think it was in the same street). Though Nintendo hasn't bought IS, basically it's a first party studio for them.
