frankly it's sort of bizarre that i'm barely seeing any articles about Hero's addition on news sites or reddit at all - even the smaller things like the netflix game seem to be getting more attention

it's like an entire smash character got announced then just completely glossed over
I'd chalk it up to us knowing Erdrick is coming, but you'd think four heroes plus more content than FF would create more buzz.

Hopefully, their release trailer will cause more talk around them. They were the more interesting reveal for me and I want to yell about 12 specials.

It's just selective perception but I found it funny how both FE and Zelda suddenly got darker and edgier in this direct compared to the last one.

Amazing how exactly a year ago we were learning that Ridley was gonna be playable and now we've got Banjo.

Also I must say that no longer being concerned with who the next DLC fighters may be is so wonderful.

Once again I can look forward to a character and what they'll bring, and not worry about what comes after.

For example: which Hero design do you think you'll use the most? I'm probably going with Solo, but Eight looks really good too.

DQ fans here, explain me this.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
That's super easy. That's Munchie; Eight's little critter friend. In Dragon Quest VIII, Munchie is used to explore certain areas in the game and you can also feed him cheeses that you can make in the Alchemy Pot that can cause all sorts of effects to happen.

Dragon Quest is still fairly niche worldwide.

It being a generic class may also have something to do with it.

Funny you should mention that. Most of what was in the leaks actually ended up in the E3 trailer. Most of it dealt with the existence of a time skip and a war between the houses, which is public knowledge now. :p

The leaks don't mention too much about the story that isn't public now, but the leaker, for what it's worth, seemed to really like it. For reference, the leaker gave Genealogy a 10/10 for story and Fates a 2/10. They gave Three Houses a 9/10.
2/10 is generous.

Did he consider anything else worse or was 2/10 his lowest score?

smash DLC now finally formatting as intended on the main website - looks like they've moved it to the top to emphasise it

interestingly, it maintains the table format, so slots can still be added and removed at will (as was likely happening during yesterday's glitch period)

He only gave those two data points so I assumed they were the highest and lowest. :p

To be fair, SoV was far from sunshine and rainbows, especially with some of the implications about Lima and Liprica.

Weird. Won't show up on my browser. So it's back to the 6 slots as normal?

But yeah, the idea 6 slots was ironclad is silly too. Just like the idea that we're getting more when it could be a site glitch is silly. Just as you said, they can do whatever they want and keep us guessing~

I'll probably be using Eight, as not only does he look cool, but he also has a mouse in his pocket, and I love cute little details like that.

In Japan, I heard it's actually the other way around.
From what Ive seen, JP seems to like bother characters

Actually, from what I seen, there is alot of Japanese peoples who are excited over Banjo inclusion.

That and
Banjo was always a fairly popular pick in the East, just not as much as in the West.

When the new of the hero and banjo were released, the Japanese Twitter was booming more about the hero then banjo. That's all I'm saying.

Tho I do remeber when Little mac came out, thr common thing I saw from JP is "Who is little mac?" and "no one asked for this"

Speaking of DLC reactions, anyone got any videos of Japanese viewers reacting to the Hero? Spent most of yesterday evening watching various YouTubers react and unsurprisingly it's mostly "..." to Hero and "HOLYSDFSDSF" to Banjo

To be fair, Punch-Out NES only had limited release in Japan, and by that, I mean it was a game you could get by winning a tourney or something like that, outside of that? Punch-Out was basically no-existent in Japan and was pretty much made for the West in all shape and form, with Mike Tyson being used for the final boss specifically to gain attention from Western players, since Tyson was the champion at the time.

I think it comes out of a feeling built over years that the popularity in the West doesn’t really matter. A character can get in that people in the states don’t really know or care about, but not vice versa with Japan.

Of course, Banjo goes against that thought process now.

Looks like Banjo's never getting in because he's only popular in the west.
Don't forget he is forgotten, nobody remember that old silly bear & his crazy bird those days.

Just realized that Hero technically took Incineroar's spot as the newest character on the roster since Eleven debuted in July of 2017.

At the very least, we now know that anyone before mid 2017 would've been considered.

What if you wanted to buy Eight at launch, but the eShop said...

Honestly they need to have the foresight to release a new character's patch long before the character itself. That way there's not as much stress on the eShop, Pass owners get the character instantly, and everybody wins.

Crash got more likely thanks to that.
