Exactly, yeah, I actually just decided to do it yesterday and I was happy I didn't have to restart it lol.
This is dope, man.
Love it man, gave it an RT
Yep there is a lot of Golden Sun fans who are usually silent but do come out when the time arises. Part of the reason I made the account was to gather different fans so we could be a more vocal force in the Nintendo fandom
I know I became more vocal when that November burn happened. I was sick of just being quiet about it. Golden Sun needs to come back
Wow, Andy's one really stings.
Here's hoping that's rectified in the not too distant future.
The poor guy wasn't even included as a spirit in this game so that would be a nice surprise
Yeah if Square Enix is allowed to have their characters in their Mario Sports games it's only fair if Camelot gets that same opportunity
Square-Enix also fully developed the games in question(it's kind of like Super Mario RPG. If I remember the details right, it was more of a FF game with Mario guests in Japan?), so it was more their choice of who to add(besides the fact they fully own the FF characters, anyway. Camelot doesn't own any characters as Nintendo holds the ownership). Camelot has to follow Nintendo's whims entirely last I checked, so it's a different situation.
Well with the Game Boy (and I think the GBA) Tennis games, Camelot had OCs, so I don't see why Isaac wouldn't be allowed, though you're probably right that Nintendo has a lot of control with the roster. I think they'd allow a cameo if Golden Sun gets revived, though.
The games also had a more rpg setting, so it was probably "allowed" to improve the experience(it's in fact a necessity to make the story mode work right). Isaac isn't in the same situation, nor literally made for the sports games. Whatever the reason, he's still from a different series, one that is in hiatus(which is probably the reason). It's also possible they literally never thought to ask. Who knows.
That's very much true. I don't think Isaac will ever join the Mario Sports roster until GS is brought back anyway, so we'll have to focus on achieving a revival first.
It's also possible there's been no visible demand till lately, so no reason to think of it either. Maybe it could happen.
Pretty much this. Even in the Nintendo groups Smash has been silent. I mean we play Smash and talk about it but speculation for any character has worn out. It's been almost a month since Joker too.
Pretty much my stance too lol. It may have something to do with me being a Nintendo RPG addict (mostly with my favorite series ever, the Mother series, and my two favorite games/series after that being Super Mario RPG and now the Golden Sun series), but there just aren't a lot of games on the Switch right now that interest me (only one being the Loz:LA remake). Hopefully E3 will change that.
How about we actually see who DLC character 2 is before we jump to that?
Nah let's just skip to Isaac.
Agreed. It'll be good to know what actually happens first.
Mark my words, we won't need a second Fighter Pass for Isaac. I have no proof for this, but it's such a strong gut feeling I can't ignore it. That said, if that doesn't come to pass, a second Fighter Pass would be amazing for our odds.
Unless Nintendo really is dumb, I think Isaac is inevitable at this point. And when I mean dumb, I mean completely ignoring the sheer masses, negative reception and generally plugging their ears.
It took a week before Sakurai announced the DLC characters were finalized. Which I think is enough time to consider that there was AT backlash from two Directs.
I agree. I'm just afraid that we'll have been too late for the Fighters Pass and Nintendo isn't willing to do a second wave, for whatever reason. I just look forward to the moment when it all comes together.
Yes, it was. It wasn't officially announced until almost a week after the November 1 Direct, however. But I do agree Rex is SOL for this pass just so the costume included isn't redundant.
I kind of already been on the fighter pass 2 train long before any character reveal. Nintendo was shocked by the backlash of Isaac's assist so if a hypothetical fighter's pass 2 was announced, I'd feel that would help Isaac's chances somewhat. Seems like hoping for more DLC where the Isaac assist backlash is fresh in Nintendo's mind seems better than waiting for a new Smash and crossing my fingers that Nintendo remembers this incident.
E3 will be here before we know it... that should bring renewed activity.
That might just be indigestion.
It's enough time to register the backlash, but to act on it and finalize a character due to it within the span of a week is unrealistic. Implying character selection moves at that pace is a bit of an oversight towards the volume of moving parts, and the presumable due diligence Sakurai employs when considering candidates. Development isn't conducive to snap decisions.

I think it's mostly just supporters of characters who don't foresee inclusion in the first pass, i.e. characters with existing in-game representation. The support bases for characters considered to stand a chance for the pass are living very much in the moment.
In my experience even fans of characters not in the game are putting their hopes on a second pass, 4 characters isn't a lot.
Costume I doubt would make a difference. It's just a small thing. Rex is one thing, because it's literally part of the fighter's pass. But the Isaac costume is something that was likely decided far more early on. The Assist Trophy is a different beast and generally for characters who weren't chosen to be playable. Retaining his previous role speaks more of the idea that he is meant for this role at this time. It's not impossible, obviously, but it likely hurts more than a Mii costume.
My stance for DLC has shifted a bit. Pre Ultimate launch, I was firmly on the train of not wanting Isaac as an assist because I figured it'd mean his chances of DLC would be pretty much zero. The reason I felt Isaac had a good chance for DLC was the fact that I was of the mind that DLC would be a way for Sakurai to implement more of the ballot choices that couldn't make launch with Ultimate's main focus being, 'Everyone is Here!'.
I'd think that a prospective second Fighter Pass would have to be affected by fan opinion, since Nintendo would've seen the negative reaction to Isaac. I think that if Nintendo pushes for another Pass (even if it's only 3 instead of 5 fighters), Isaac is the most likely, simply because of the fan outcry against his Assist. That'd be fresh on Nintendo's mind, and we know that Sakurai tries to please fans best he can.
