I gotta say, what’s the source for your current avatar? I really like those designs for both genders of Erdrick there and I think they would look great in Smash.

Brown-haired Erdrick is best Erdrick IMHO.

You know the more I see the different Erdrick looks. The more I'm hoping we see a composite design.

I like black haired Erdrick tho, there’s not a lot of black haired protagonists in DQ, and the ones that are, are being retconned (Erdrick, Descendant) or show very little hair (Auster).
Plus there’s a LOT of brunettes now (Erdrick, Madason, Eight, Celestrian, Ten, Luminary, Blade, Joker2, etc)

Not a big issue, personally. As long as the designs are cool, it doesn’t matter as much. I’m not a huge fan of Auster’s design for example.

That sample art piece I showed on the thread a few days ago is my personal favourite DQ design.

I believe there's a small but dedicated MK fanbase in Japan, i remember reading that MKX was a higly imported game over there when it came out, honestly i think MK became truly good until MK9, but the franchise in Smash? not happening.

I'm really happy for everyone who waited so long for PSO2. I never, ever thought it would happen.

DQX's the last man standing now. Hopefully this goes well and turns up the heat on SE a little.

Banjo was a no show at the MS conference. Wonder how the smash fanbase will treat that.

Obviously it means Banjo confirmed :b

(Really though I was expecting a new game, so now it remains to see if they reveal something regarding Rare Replay on Switch which honestly while not bad a remake/remaster would have been better)

Yeah I think it’s time to temper expectations on him. Kinda blows that he’s not getting a new game or anything. I doubt they’d reveal that at Nintendo’s conference.

If Banjo is coming to Smash, there's no way that there isn't Banjo goodness coming to Banjo fans at a later time, whether it's a remake or otherwise.

Probably Rare Raplay in the Switch. And maybe the original 64 games as Nintendo Gamepass exclusive.

Edit: A confession, I just played Tooie, Golden Eye and Jet Force Gemini(Aside for the DK64) from Rare on 64. So I'm really want Replay to come to Switch, so that I can play the other games couldn't play when I was young. (Tried to play on a emulator, but never get luck with N64 emulators on my PC).

No Banjo game on Xbox.
It means that shinobi 's message is in fact all about smash...or was just a troll.


No answers yet, we still can't figure if the next dlc character is Erdrick or Banjo.

I dont think it looks good for banjo. I'd expected microsoft to capitalize on something like that. Could definitely still be possible for sure . I just think there's some less chance for it.

Obviously Rash was Brave this whole time.

...I do hope a Banjo remake/remaster shows up at the Direct. I've started to get attached to the idea.

I've never had the chance to play Rare games (I grew up on the PS1 as a kid, regretfully never had a N64). I'd love to have the chance to give them a try, especially if it comes in a large collection like the aforementioned Replay.

I was the other way around, I have only the N64, only got a PS2 after got the NGC for some years. Most of the PS1 classics I played on the PS3 and PSP with few exceptions like Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories that I played on PS2.
But for the Rare Replay I really would like to come with a uncensored version of Conker's like the N64 one.

So are you sticking to Erdrick being in the pass?

Vergeben:
"I currently have no reason to believe that he isn't. If he's not the 2nd character, people need to realize that character #2 and character #3 are developed at the same time. That means that character #3 and #4 will eventually be developed at the same time too once #2 is done.

To repeat myself, I do not know the actual order and won't claim to since the assumption that the Square Enix character would be first fighters pass character was rooted in assumption that it would be on the basis that a Square Enix character was known to be a thing.
In hindsight it seems like around the time I first heard about there being one was when it must have been finalized since names started to come out as to who it was and then info got out to others pinpointing that it was Erdrick."

Source

that settle it: Tuesday is all about knowing if Erdrick is dlc 2 or dlc 3.

That's great. Still hoping they reveal the two at e3, i think it'd make for some pretty interesting news.

Seems like the perfect timeline would be a double reveal of Erdrick and Banjo-Kazooie at Nintendo Direct. I am not necessarily expecting it, but it'd be the best outcome possible.

An alternative but great timeline is the reveal of Erdrick/Banjo-Kazooie followed up by a gameplay-less tease trailer that unambiguously makes it clear that Banjo-Kazooie/Erdrick is DLC number 3.

If Japanese twitter isn't proof enough that Dragon Quest has a big influence, idk what is.

I will say in regards to Banjo. Just because we didn't see a Banjo Kazooie 3 or whatever on E3 doesn't mean his chances suddenly dropped. Same with if we don't see Erdrick/Luminary referenced in SE. At the end of the day, the true reveal is this coming Nintendo direct. Whether it's one or two.
