Oh wow , I just realized your list is basically the same as mine. Or at least the first half of it. But the second half are also characters I thought about (barring Masked Man tbh) but didn't quite make the cut for me. The only Nintendo character that is missing for me from your list is Captain Syrup, but she's a fairly niche pick tbh lol so that's no surprise really. Also yay Bomberman! =D
I'm sure Nintendo approaches them to do some titles, at least it's that what happens with Mario Golf/Mario Tennis.
Masked Man is just a niche pick, it's just the concept that I like, and also for being an antagonist, but it's the "random pick" that I have and I know it won't happen.
I've added you.
Well I don't see my name in the list so you've got one more to add. Sorry!
Except that doing a Mario RPG right now is a decently large risk for them? Even if the market is empty, it doesn't mean Camelot's going to just decide to do something they've never done before
Man, major respect for continuing to keep this list updated, even so long after the page was first started.
Why is more risky than Golden Sun?
No, that's not how it works at all. Camelot is an independent studio; Nintendo literally cannot force them to make a specific game. They can suggest or pitch to Camelot, but it's up to Camelot to decide whether or not to do it. This is why when Nintendo asked Camelot to make a new Golden Sun after TLA right away, they were allowed not to. They were not contractually obligated.
As promised, we've got Ragnarok for this #GoldenSun #VFXFriday! This one was pretty involved and I'm actually going to work on it a bit more over the coming days.#vfx #UnrealEngine #gameart #realtimevfx #ue4 pic.twitter.com/67CIJZZ41k

Great to see you in the thread again man
Good to see you back
Sure, but if Nintendo asks to do a Mario RPG (or a Mario Golf) and they don't want to do that, they won't contract them.
It is not just that they won't contract them, it literally just won't end up happening. They have no obligation to do what Nintendo wants, but at the same time, if Camelot pitches a game, Nintendo also has no reason to deny it if development costs are coming from Camelot. Your assumption comes from thinking that if Camelot doesn't do Mario sports like Nintendo asks, Nintendo won't allow any other submissions from them that aren't Mario sports. If this was true, they would have done Tennis or Golf for the Wii instead of Dark Dawn. Again, Nintendo literally asked them to do another game, they declined, and they were perfectly fine.
1) Who is Reimu Hakurei?
Why do you say that?
The rest of my post might touch on that.
Right, but I'm not sure I understand your perspective on it. There's always short phases where characters are deemed likely or unlikely and different characters come and go from that status, but the most popular always shine through regardless. Isaac's always been one of the most requested, same with Geno. It's like how Ridley was still voted for a lot on the ballot regardless of boss status at the time.
You say that, but you won't find Ridley or Geno among the top 10 on ballot-era exit polls. So, do the most popular always shine through? I mean, the likes of Waluigi, Bandana Dee, Shadow, Dixie, a Xenoblade character, probably Bomberman... they're on the poll, but they're not in ranks indicative of their potential were current preconceptions not shaping the results.
I’ve been a supporter for the past year and I’m not in the supporter list?
I feel like the characters that super popular, ala Ridley, are bound to always have demand regardless of what the flavor of the month is.
Seeing how Sakurai rather wants to keep supporting Ultimate as long as they can (maybe during all Switch's life) due to how difficult it woudl be to make a new smash living up to the hype of Ultimate, I totally see ATs being upgraded as a possibility, nothing official is stated against it, just fan rules based on "so far patterns", which are constantly broken by Sakurai as we know by now well.
Smash Bros exists as simultaneous gestalt of several different self-contained pockets:
This is why I'm excited. This means our support for Isaac and the speculation/grinch leak/rathalos tweet/first Golden Sunday/Mario Tennis Aces finishing up all hit at the right time. That would have been when all of this was decided.
Well said!
In addition, the theme of the game has either been answering to demand or including legacy third parties which carry fanbases of their own. I wouldn't be surprised to see a promotional character or two squeeze their way in when all is said and done, but there's no reason to suddenly sway from the design philosophy now. From the way Sakurai spoke of deciding on more DLC, it was just as much about leaving the game behind feeling truly "complete" to the fans as it was to simply push the boundaries of the crossover and add new worlds (another encouraging phrase right there). At this point, it probably is being mostly dictated by the high-volume requests considering what the future of the series after this game looks like.
