I won't add you to the list of supporters...maybe I should made a list of people indifferent toward him
You'd be first up.
I think It might be most definitely will be a Hanafuda character. After that, I don't think there's not much options left for very historical characters.
Well Diskun can represent the Famicom Disk System.
Diskun was the mascot of what was, quite simply, a failure that never even came to the US due to poor reception.
Well maybe Nintendo did have his reasons to not bring the Famicom Disk System to America or Europe but I think it was more about research and testing their waters for their next project that will be the Satellaview.
Yeah but how will you represent NES Zapper? You can´t put the NES Zapper flying around shooting characters (still will be pretty funny if I think about it XD), so the only way to represent that peripheral would be the closest and most successful game from it in this case Duck Hunt Dog.
Well maybe is not that significant but Nintendo though about it and launch it and even create two games about a new IP in this case I´m referring Mike Anderson (this character not only have one game but two, so in other way it did have a great success and even in so form the Superscope was still supported to even have two games about a new IP for it). And again I choose Mike Anderson because you can´t represent the Superscope alone so the closest and most important IP about this peripheral will be Battle Clash and Metal Combat where Mike Anderson is the protagonist.
But still historical like it or not, and even for Nintendo if it was a flop is still their story and not all the times are happy and joy (it requires valor and humbleness to accept it). Like the NES Zapper and the Superscope for the SNES you can´t represent the Virtual Boy alone so the closest software that was big and original from that system would be Teleroboxer (fun fact: Yoshio Sakamoto is the director of this game, he created too Metroid and Kid Icarus).
If you don´t think the Satellaview is important to Nintendo maybe is becuase you are not Japanese? Seriously the system did go for 5 years even after the launch of N64 Nintendo still did support the Satellaview, not only that, this system did have many original IP´s from Nintendo like Shin Onigashima, Tantei Club and Sutte Hakkun (I'm forgetting some games but still it did create a lot and was supported for a long time so yeah it was not a flop).
Yeah is represented well with Mario and DK, but still Sheriff could represent this era with more focus because Mario and DK have evolved beyond their original incarnations of that time and many people don´t remember them in that concept, I can say Pac-Man would be a better character fitted to that roll if it was owned by Nintendo.
Despite the strengths of those characters, nothing about them is more historically significant than Daitoryo (Sheriff could theoretically be argued).
Yeah the first product and in some way the first character that did use Nintendo is very important and should be recognised but still it has a lot of competition and I´m only putting this thought in the table to be considered (I support all these characters because each represents the many faces and times of Nintendo being the good, the bad and the ugly ones and all of them is what make Nintendo as a whole).
He has competition, don't get me wrong, but he definitely is more important than the rest of them.
Sheriff was the first protagonist. The EVR Racers were simply characters that rode a horse that you betted on. Since there was no "main character", Sheriff is technically the first protagonist, as he actually is a main character that you control.
There is indeed a difference, but I will leave you with your own opinion.
The image of Napoleon (Daitoryo) would be the actual character. He would likely use moves from the artwork in hanafuda cards. See the moveset in the OP for an idea of what he'd be doing.
Why not? Daitoryo is a really important character to Nintendo.
HOW!? What the hell did Napoleon Bonaparte do that's important to Nintendo? Kill people? Appear as the face of an obscure card game while yet not a Nintendo Character? Yeah, that's REALLY important compared to any Nintendo character. If you have a Hanafuda character that's fine, but don't sit here an tell me Napoleon Bonaparte is an important character to Nintendo like I have a giant wrench sticking out of my brain. I'm not stupid
He's not Napoleon, he's Daitoryo, I know I made that joke in the prediction thread, but he's his own character. Napoleon can't slash people with cards and fly with the help of gooses. He represents the very start of Nintendo when it was not even making games yet. He's a historical character like Mr. Game and Watch and R.O.B., so he's a good choice. Also, try not to be that rude.
Yeah he hates "real life" characters. I shouldn't have posted a link to this thread in the Roster Prediction Discussion Thread. How dumb I am.You shouldn't have let him in this thread.
...AFTER card games, Nintendo tried working with those things. Hanafuda was the very first thing Nintendo ever did. Nintendo literally started out as a company that made homemade Hanafuda cards. Hanafuda is far more significant to Nintendo than those failed ventures.
So AFTER they had a successful card game they tried to license Love Hotels? Now they're the most family friendly company on the planet. OH NINTENDOOOOOOO!
Hanafuda was the first thing Nintendo ever went into. (Which is/was, for the record, Japan's "Poker" when it comes/came to gambling.) (1889)
.................but, he's also Napoleon. How hard is that to understand? I mean the Mike Tyson in Punch Out isn't REALLY Mike Tyson, but it's still "Mike Tyson." Is this too complicated.
Are you honestly ****ing comparing these character right now???
in terms of speculating characters and bringing up valid points to back it up......................VERY.
Almost...
That's obvious. While it's debatable if Daitoryo specifically is as important as them, I think hanafuda itself is the second-most vital part of Nintendo's history (video games being the first, toys being the third, others being the least).
I personally don't think that they'd make him look MORE like Napoleon. I'd just use his original artwork.I was thinking that Napoleón once he is in the game will receive a overhaul in his image like Dr. Kawashima is portrayed in Brain Age, I was thinking like the following picture:
.n_n.
Well i was thinking that maybe they will make his design more in the type of Cel Shading like Wind Waker Link, it would probably go well with the overall design of Smash Bros.
Wow! That is incredible! However, like you said, the throws need more work. Otherwise I don't see too much of a problem.
