Sounds like a pretty good idea actually. I mean, items already have a very short little particle effect thing that "drops" them out of no where. Just make that effect last a few seconds and you have a clear indicator of where an item is going to appear.
I would expect Sakurai to have fun with it though, lol. Usually more powerful items might take longer to drop than others, but on occasion after waiting so (relatively) long, some dud of an item might appear instead, lol. Then competitive player tears would be restored once more.
... you're entirely right. Sigh.
Dammit, Sakurai.
I was thinking that an actual image of the item might flash to make it clear exactly what's going to appear and if you want to risk fighting for it. Or, y'know, just make that a toggled option.
Not that any of this will happen, mind you.
Sigh.
Dammit, Sakurai.
