If they didn’t before, they are starting to now. At least, I hope so. The more we keep Golden Sun (and Isaac for Smash) in the spotlight, the sooner Nintendo will notice more. I’m not giving up on this series. Nor will I ever.
I really can’t imagine this first pass will change the role of any character already in the game, considering it was (in all likelihood) decided before the game even went gold.
Maybe. But the question is, were they aware on time.
There are Nintendo people all over the place. I know without a doubt Nintendo checks Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and even ResetEra. I have even met Nintendo staff at Game Developer meets back when I did Indie (gave it up to prioritize having a great life)
This is true for the western divisions of Nintendo. Who I doubt are the ones that got to pick the DLC, unless someone there was able to inform NoJ at the very last second.
Perhaps, but they were allegedly blindsided by the performance of K. Rool on the ballot despite intense online demand for the better part of the decade (and even if they weren't - they made no actions to prove otherwise). So even if they are aware, that doesn't inherently correlate to anything being done...
True but I can confirm things of NOTABLE interest do get pushed upwards. This is why I am investing in the GS Support. With enough effort, we become notable. Like Mother 3 for example.
No, but what it does do is it starts conversations. And when that starts, they start to think. All we can do is keep shoving the support for GS in Nintendo's face
Well let's hope it does and they do. The K. Rool point is that that's not always the case, despite alleged internet scouring.
Doesn't really matter if there's loud backlash or not. It might simply be all what we're getting. And for a dormant franchise as Golden Sun, it's even more than many would expect.
: Stage boss on Pyro Sphere: Assist Trophy and alt costume for Samus: Assist Trophy and Mii Costume: Mii Costume to throw the fans some bones: Weirdly enough, still part of 's Final Smash and straight up denied from playable status due to not being unique enough: Was a alt costume to ever since Peach came into Melee: Mii Costume for the Gunner and . The Belmonts are easy to explain why, Incineroar didn't even excist at the time, and Ken? Well, Ryu was already a DLC character in Smash 4 so having a second Street Fighter character would've been too much honestly.You can maybe add Ken there since he had a trophy in 4, which is more notable because he's third party.
Well counting trophies we have even more characters who promoted from that, counting all the veterans who have been cut before.
all had individual trophies in Smash 4 before they became playable. Mewtwo and Lucas where even a trophy before they got back in THAT GAME as DLC fighers.
While this may have been true a few years ago, I think Golden Sun is more relevant than ever right now and the massive success of RPGs like Octopath Traveler and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 prove that the Switch has a huge audience for games like Golden Sun, and that the return would be great if they just put forth the effort.
Well Matthew isn't canon anymore
If they go beyond the fighter pass and if they do add around 15 characters if that's what the empty WOL slots suggests than I highly doubt all of the characters would be third party then. Licensing costs would just add up to much at that point so they'll need to add characters that they own. And even better they might dive into the spirits and AT pool of characters if we're luckyDoesn't really matter if there's loud backlash or not. It might simply be all what we're getting. And for a dormant franchise as Golden Sun, it's even more than many would expect.
I am not sure if DLC is even going to include first or second party characters anymore. I don't even have high hopes for a Three Houses Fire Emblem character, or a new Pokemon from Sword and Shield. In fact, they might think these franchises have enough characters already, which is a honest and fair point all of it's own.
I might sound pessimistic with that, but I do think there's potential for the popular ATs in Ultimate yet. Considering how many of the newcomers of Ultimate got major upgrades from last time, I do think that the current popular ATs are front runners for newcomers in the next game, if there's even gonna be a next Smash game with a roster as huge as Ultimate's (personally, I think we can expect at least 25-30% of the current roster cut).
Now the examples of newcomers who got a huge boost to playable status from their Smash 4 incarnation:
Well, look at that, that's basically all the newcomers but
If there's gonna be another ballot, characters as Isaac, Skull Kid, Waluigi and others are probably gonna be the next most requested. I just have NO idea at all where this gaming franchise is going from Ultimate. It has a huge roster, and seems like the ideal "template" to build future Smash Bros. games around. Just add the modes which Ultimate didn't have, a couple of newcomers and that'd already sell.
With that said, I do think Isaac is pretty safe to expect for a future Smash, if they are gonna build off from Smash Ultimate (keeping the engine and characters exactly like their final patched versions of Ultimate barring possible moveset changes).
There wasn't even as much time in between Smash Wii U and Smash Ultimate's release dates as there was in between Melee and Brawl, or Brawl and Smash 4 3DS, so I do think it's possible that a new Smash Bros. will be made as soon as a next generation Nintendo console is in production.
I do think the developers of Golden Sun is sort of an unknown factor in the grand scheme of things, all we really have to go off of is what was stated in a 2012 interview that another Golden Sun would be made if enough fans demanded it, and even that had a 'maybe not' disclaimer on it.
Slot aren't too important. Nintendo can just stop at anytime or add more slots if they need to. They probably hasn't even planned that far right now.
It's 15 slots for characters that can be added to WoL, 5 which are for the pass including Joker. That leaves 10 that could perfectly be used or unused.
Monolith Soft aren't exactly "external", are they? They're a first party subsidiary of Nintendo, whereas companies like Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, Camelot, Treasure, etc are just partners they work with from time to time. Technically that would make Shulk more 'Nintendo' than Kirby or Pikachu.
They still co-own the Xenoblade IP though, so even if it's not an identical situation, in practice it's still dealing with an additional party - much as it would be for those other companies.
They are, so thanks for the correction. Still, N3ON's point stands, and even if it didn't there's still all the other IPs.
I now really want one for my Switch :O
Fellas, I... I think these guys might be on the right track
Looking forward to seeing it all come together!Cosplay Update! (Last One before Golden Sunday)
Firstly, thank you guys so much for keeping me motivated through this. Thanks to the fantastic support of the Golden Sun community, a dream cosplay for me is finally going to happen. I have learnt how to tailor, sew and use various materials to make an awesome cosplay. Admittedly it will be lacking the wig for Golden Sunday. But fear not! That is now in progress.
And YES. I am going attempt an actual spike wig akin to Issac's do. Between April 14th and May 27th that is the only project I am working on. It will be a huge ordeal!
But between now and Golden Sunday, I will be in the Painting Phase. That means the Armor Plate, Eyelets, Belt Buckle and Buttons will be taken from In Progress to complete. This will also let me finish the Weapon Harness (I need to paint the buttons)
After that, I immediately start work on the wig. Last night I started work on the wig cap and tonight I finish the template and start work on making a wig cap with craft foam. When I said I wanted to make the best Isaac cosplay I could do, I meant it!
I've really enjoyed making Isaac. He was the perfect choice for a first costume project for sewing. 5 months experience in sewing and I have come so far!
Just a bit further adepts!
Sorry then.
I hope to do you all proud! I am counting down the days! (18-19 days to go for me!)
Quick qualifier here: each slot can also be used for alternate characters, like Alph or the rumored "Jane", since they require separate announcer calls/sound effects. Not positive if this affects our chances, since I can't imagine another character needing 8 total slots like Bowser Jr. does, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless.
There is also a database with 30 extra slots in it. This combined with the WoL 15 slot thing makes me think that they're merely accommodating for a situation where they make 15 more fighters, all of which have a model-changing costume.
That doesn't apply to the 'WoL slots' of which there are 15. We know that because Plant uses 2 regular slots but only one WoL slot.
