Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Radical Bones]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

A second Sonic rep - Tails, Eggman or Knuckles.

Or Ratchet and Clank I guess.

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

Banjo & Kazooie, easily.

(King K. Rool is a very close 2nd so it was hard at first to narrow it down to 1)

 

[Scamper52596]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

Tetra. I know it's not necessary, but I would like to see another Zelda character. I personally believe she's the best choice.

 

[AreJay25]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

Rayman, without a doubt.

 

[Champ Gold]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

Simon, Dixie, Wolf, Impa, Scizor, Wonder Red and yadda yadda yadda.

But let's be honest, I want the true deserved fighter for Smash Bros

Spoiler

He was the guy I voted for DAY 1 and will still push for him too the end. Because we all need a wrestler in Smash Bros

 

[A Distant Demon]

My laptop can't handle Fallout 4. I am unbelievably dissapointed right now. I suppose this is karma (heh) for getting the Indivisible extension but damn this sucks.

please Nintendo. DON'T DISSAPOINT ME TOO

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Phoenix Wright, Ivysaur and Ridley are the only acceptable answers.

 

[Substitution]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

Pichu: The only character worthy enough for a Direct reveal.

I'm certainly down for Scizoring

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Question to pass the time.

If you could have ANY video game character confirmed tomorrow, who would it be?

Brian(Quest 64), Fulgore, Wolf, Inklings(really warmed up to 'em), Shovel Knight, King K. Rool(Dixie too, but him first), Isaac, Ridley(lol, not happening, but many of these aren't either, so...), Slime, Pichu, Simon Belmont, Snake.

 

[PushDustIn]

I wouldn't mind Steve from Minecraft. He'd get in before a lot of the other indie reps (just saying). Multi billion dollar indie franchise, has a lot of influence of gaming...
...What other game has their own yearly convention?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Minecraft Wii U edition?


Welp that's one surprise for the direct down

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Is Minecraft really indie anymore? Especially since Microsoft owns them now

 

[Arcadenik]

Real talk though, if Nintendo and Microsoft are getting buddy-buddy for Minecraft... I can imagine that maybe... JUUUUUST maybe... BanjoKazoople 1 and 2 could show up on the Wii U Eshop at some point.

If only... I really wish the Rare games that were on Nintendo consoles would be on Wii U Virtual Console. That would be a dream come true.

Snake Rattle 'n' Roll
Battletoads games (including that crossover with Double Dragon)
Banjo-Kazooie games
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Killer Instinct games
Jet Force Gemini
Perfect Dark
Diddy Kong Racing
GoldenEye 007 (if they can get the rights)

I think such announcement would generate one of the biggest hype in gaming history.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I'd say he is 3rd party because he got bought out by Microsoft.

 

[Khoru]

touhou

[Opossum]

Chrom. Without a moment's hesitation, Chrom.


Because dreams.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

touhou

Speaking of touhou....

Amazing. Just amazing

 

[PK_Wonder]

I'd say he is 3rd party because he got bought out by Microsoft.

That would make him first party... in another company's favor.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Microsoft crossover fighting game when? :^)

 

[PK_Wonder]

Microsoft crossover fighting game when? :^)

Nintendo X Microsoft? As long as they don't have to each contribute an equal number of characters.

Even counting Rare franchises, Nintendo's "iconic" or all-star characters outnumber Microsoft's 5 to 1.

Other than Halo and... I guess Minecraft... and the Rare franchises, what else do Microsoft have?

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Here's a boring answer, I just want to finally see Wolf come back. He's the only worthwhile missing veteran left that isn't chained up in Konami's basement being forced to make pachinko machines.

Less boring answer? I'd love to see Feraligatr.

 

[Jdaster64]

Well, the totally selfish answer would be along the lines of Emolga or Braixen, but I'd be just as happy to see a properly-done Paper Mario, especially since he was the one character I really wanted pre-Brawl.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Other than Halo and... I guess Minecraft... and the Rare franchises, what else do Microsoft have?

They have Gears of War.



As for Steve in Smash?

I don't mind it.

He's the kind of iconic third party Smash favors.

I mean I can without a doubt say that Steve is Gaming All Star.

Right up there with

 

[Solfiner]

Any character? Skull Kid, no question.

 

[Arcadenik]

They have Gears of War.

Same with Angry Birds? Are they up there too?

 

[JamesDNaux]

I'll be stuck at work during the direct.


Whatever amount of alerts I'll have will probably spoil whoever might possibly get announced.

I just hope my alert box will be destroyed when I finally get back.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Same with Angry Birds? Are they up there too?

I'd put them there. Yeah.

Though they don't really have any moveset potential.

 

[PK_Wonder]

Other than Halo and... I guess Minecraft... and the Rare franchises, what else do Microsoft have?

I just tried to make a roster for a Microsoft mascot fighter... and I did better than I thought I might, but it honestly still isn't pretty considering how minor some of these characters honestly are.

Keep in mind I have never owned an Xbox of any kind (Nintendo, Sony, and PC gamer here), so this is based only on my gaming knowledge of them as a company. I'm probably missing a major/obvious character or three. This is before accounting for third parties.

Banjo & Kazooie
Gruntilda
Mumbo Jumbo
Conker
Joanna Dark
Rash (Pimple and Zitz alts?)
Master Chief
The Arbiter
Cortana
Noble 6
another Halo character?
Marcus Fenix
General Raam
another Gears character or 2?
Kameo
Blinx
Jetman (the retro rep!)
Agent (from Crackdown)
Kaim Argonar (from Lost Odyssey)
'Splosion Man (w/ Ms. 'Splosion Man alt)
a Fable character (or 2? dunno how character driven that series is)
Steve
Avatar

and a Forza stage...

You make and sad.

Any video game character I would want revealed tomorrow?

Phoenix Wright, cause he is the only Wright choice.

 

[Deleted member]

I'd put them there. Yeah.

Though they don't really have any moveset potential.

With the new movie giving them less.....limited designs, that may not be the case anymore.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Assist Trophies/Summons for 'em instead?

 

[DMurr]

Chrom. Without a moment's hesitation, Chrom.


Because dreams.

I would be very okay with this.

Swamp. As much as I respect you, don't make me whack you upside the head.

Minecraft may be big, but to claim it's up there with those franchises?
No.

 

[Substitution]

Look, I get the whole third party thing. But... I can't see Steve being in Smash Bros. At all.
Like, we do need to draw the line somewhere. It can't just be if you're a popular game then come right in. Right?

 

[Shadowwolflink]

You make and sad.

Any video game character I would want revealed tomorrow?

Phoenix Wright, cause he is the only Wright choice.

Oh ****! I forgot about the Ice Climbers!
Although, we know they won't happen because Sakurai has some stupid idea that the Wii U version NEEDS to have the same roster as the 3DS, it's ridiculous.

About Squirtle and Ivysaur though... They're cool, but they made the right choice when they cut Pokemon Trainer down to just Charizard. Charizard has more appeal than the other 2 combined.

Also, Young Link is obsolete because of Toon Link and Pichu is just terrible, keep that thing away from Smash 4 and any subsequent Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

I can't see Steve being in Minecraft. At all.

I can't see him being in Minecraft either.

 

[Dravidian]

Other than Halo and... I guess Minecraft... and the Rare franchises, what else do Microsoft have?

I think Sunset Overdrive, Fable, and Phantom Dust as well.
