I mean she is but on paper, it doesn't look like she made more due to being a better Nintendo character than Corrin does it? Data drives a lot of business decisions for better or worse.
I think Nintendo can recognize why Ryu and Cloud would sell better than a character that wasn't even out yet in most of the world.
The cross promotion works in both way. That also brings fans of these series into Smash Bros. So, yes, the DLC in itself is shared with the third party company, but the DLC also sell the base game.
Sure. The major thing it does is bring in fans of characters that wouldn’t have a Switch or Smash and get them into it. I get that.
Honestly we should still push hard for Isaac to make it in with or without Geno's inclusion. But yeah Geno making it in would get more people on board with us especially since that will break another fan rule set by the community and Isaac being the last big Brawl request like you said.
Isaac has always been my most wanted and Geno has always been my second most. Other than those two Banjo was a close third and I was so happy he finally made it in.
Still missing Krystal and Bomberman as well. After those four get in, then it's safe to say all the big Brawl requests are finally in.
That's.....Peter Pan's profile........
Thank you again! You have been awesome making these giveaways! Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!
See for me I like Waluigi. Not because of the meme thing I just think he’s a funny character and it would be neat to see him get in. I’d prefer Isaac obviously, but I’m well aware Waluigi is far more popular in mainstream due to being a Mario character and appearing in racing and party games.
I have to agree. I like and support both characters, but Waluigi's moveset would require a lot more original ideas to fill in the gaps that the spin-offs aren't deep enough to explore. He could use a racket and the Air Swim from Tennis, the Wall-Luigi from Strikers, or ad-lib some sort of trickster duplication mechanic ala the Liar Ball from Baseball... but a lot of his gameplay would have to be invented out of thin air. With the number of Djinn available throughout the GS series, Isaac is much more like Banjo & Kazooie in how most of his moveset is already created in advance by the source material. The Djinn could also function as his unique "gimmick" that helps make him "fun to play" per Sakurai's words if he was able to switch out various Djinn/elements and alter parts of his moveset.
To this end, who do we think would be the options as far as potential assist promos? And who would you want to see?
Me and a few other fans have been feeling pretty confident that a new Golden Sun game or remake could be coming to the Switch based on various factors, nothing is set in stone as of now so don't take my word as a confirmation or anything like that. In that case if the game comes to fruition Isaac would easily be on the top of the potential contenders for future DLC even more than Waluigi I'd say. Promoting a Golden Sun revival with a playable Isaac is a no-brainer. Remember none of this is guaranteed to happen but the possibility of it is exciting
I also like Waluigi as a character, not as a meme. I always play him in the spin-off. He is wonky, cheater, wrong player, that makes him a anti-hero with strong potential for weirdo moves. Imagine him swimming out of thin air as a recovery (Looney Toons like), some special that breaks the establish Smash rules, or expressions that break the third wall (complaining about the player when he loses).
If Sakurai is trying to please fans with DLC like he alluded to in the Banjo video then I feel good about Isaac. All those characters you mentioned I’d love to see make the jump. I haven’t played a Bomberman game in awhile so I don’t know what his move set would be like, but I like when more series get represented.
I doubt they have to work with Camelot to use either of them, beyond maybe the professional courtesy of talking to their creators for input.
I'd imagine they just ask for permission, but they don't really need it since Nintendo owns the rights to both characters.
Maybe. But then again K. Rool was a Rare creation, and his creator knew nothing about his inclusion. So for Waluigi I don’t think Camelot has to be involved or even notified.
Just because you get a new game doesn't mean you will get a playable character in Smash, even if you are a Nintendo IP. But dreams is pretty much all we've got now.
That's for sure true. So many new Nintendo IPs pop up here and there and we get a revival for a series such as StarFox and they don't get an extra newcomer, what makes Isaac special however is how vocal his demand is for over a decade. While some characters have gotten into Smash with hardly any demand you can't deny it has been the sole reason why some characters joined the roster like King K.Rool and Banjo. A new Golden Sun game doesn't guarantee Isaac making the cut but them not capitalising on it by giving him his long awaited spot on the roster would be a huge missed opportunity that would benefit both fans and the developers.
Golden Sun is also the only series lacking a playable representative that has a spirit for every class as well so that helps
Golden Sun’s representation has been insane the more you look at it. Especially compared to the last Smash games:
Is this actually the case at this point though? They were able to renegotiate for Snake this go around despite all the weirdness with Kojima. We got Simon. We got Richter to go along with him. We got Bomberman as an AT in the first place, something I would've thought a larger Japanese company might not be okay with (especially given that they are still using the character). We got Goemon as a mii fighter costume. It appears, at least to me, that they are fairly free with their IPs when it comes to Smash, but that's only based on the amount of content we are getting. Do we actually have any insider info on the company?
No. Camelot aren't listed in Waluigi appearences in Mario titles, neither her designer (Fumihide Aoki, who still works at Camelot btw).
No. People just hate Konami and always assumes the worst. We already know Konami executives only care about money, so if Nintendo pays them well, they'll lend their IPs, like they did with Ultimate.
Even if we don't make him playable, at least we can't say we didn't try. Also, we're definitely making our voices heard asking for a new GS game. And speaking of that, we're so close to January; if Camelot is doing a Mario Golf game, it should be revealed the next year and January is a good date. If they don't reveal anything in the first 2020 Direct, my hopes for a new Golden Sun game would increase.
