At the very least, this does light the hope of more than one wave of DLC. With The whole Waluigi situation, I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least a little push to do some AT promotions. Overall, I really hope it does happen.
I can't see Ashley making it unless there's a wave 2 sadly due to WarioWare Switch being 2020 at the earliest. There's still plenty of characters they could add to promote upcoming games such as Edelgard, a Gen 8 Pokemon, KK Slider, E Gadd/ King Boo and Sylux. I'm glad Nintendo has been doing all of those shorts of the WarioWare cast and it makes me want to see an animated series someday if the Mario movie works out for them.
Pretty much. I highly doubt we will see any AT/Mii costume promotions for season 1. Season 2 on the other hand, is when I predict all bets will be off. If we get a season 2 (which I consider likely because come'on, it's Smash, easy goldmine right there).
On the other hand; this might be a good opportunity to try handing control to someone new, see if they work.
Well, on one hand, Sakurai does seem like he might be burned out on Smash, considering he's been working on it for about seven years straight. The man surely has plenty of ideas for games he wants to make, and those ideas have all been squandered by almost a decade solely dedicated to one of the most stressful games a developer could ever make.
Hey, I'm in SoCal too. Are you alright? Is your area affected by the fire?
The Woosley Fire could be seen from my bedroom window on Thursday night, Here I thought the Hill fire was the one I'd have to look out for. We got a mandatory evacuation and left about 3:30 in the morning Friday. The fires were pretty much gone from the immediate vicinity of my house by about 10AM so we went back and I finally got some sleep. After that we lost Cable and Internet at about 4 on Friday and it finally came back late last night. Right now we're clear of fire danger. But man, it really is surreal that my city was in the news for an extended period of time due to back to back national tragedies.
If Vergeben is correct about a non-Geno square character, Minecraft Steve, and Granblue fantasy's Katalina, then you should probably be very scared. But honestly, I doubt his credibility will go past the base game so I'm not exactly worried about dlc until one of those is revealed with at least two remaining spots afterward.
Even if Vergeben and his leaker friend whose name I've forgotten are wrong, I could count on one hand the characters who'd still get me excited about DLC, and what are the odds of all of them happening?
Depends on who said characters are (I’m on phone) and how relevant they are. My only thing right now about whether or not dlc will be lackluster is if Minecraft Steve gets in over all of my realistic wants. If he got revealed I honestly probably would quit the internet. But don’t worry, there is still a chance that what Verge says at this point is bull**** because let’s be realistic: Sakurai might have let every character that isn’t K. Rool leak, but would he really let dlc get revealed months before it’s shown off?
I'm positive I've seen version 2 in a Spanish Stream. I'm sorry that I don't have a link. Still don't think it was localized.
Same here, Just gotta make sure you post in more places than this thread.
Yeah, it kind of sucks seeing what used to be one of the most bumping support threads see such a decrease in participation, I must say. But conversation still picks up occasionally. It's just a little slower-paced, haha.
You don't need Switch Online to play Smash or buy stuff for it. Smash will sell gangbusters regardless of the success of the subscription.
In my opinion, it could go either way. If Ashley is to be involved in the DLC at all (which I'm not expecting, this is just a hypothetical), I see her odds being better realized in a situation where Nintendo focuses on their own self-interests and goes the "promotional" route, as WarioWare Gold just came out in August (and who knows when WarioWare Switch will come out).
No, but it is one of their main online titles and they'll need to keep people interested in the game for the subscriptions to sell well. One way to do that is to keep adding DLC.
So it's going to be Waluigi, Goku, Shrek, Harry Potter, and Spongebob then.
As absolutely atrocious and gut-wrenching as that DLC would be, AT promotions would finally have a precedent. And I can't think of anyone better suited to buck the trend than Waluigi, haha.
I think Nintendo would have been fine with Ashley in Smash. I think Nintendo is doing a good job with Ashley. (Or was doing at least). I know everyone is getting tired of criticism and all that but I think the responsibility in here lied in Sakurai and not in Nintendo.
Yeah, sadly I expect this too.
Oh, I was talking about Ashley's handling at Nintendo in general, not specifically in Smash. Yeah, Ashley's role as an Assist Trophy was 100% Sakurai's decision.
This is the best-case scenario for Ashley's chances. And it isn't entirely impossible. But I can't help but think Nintendo would sooner shove a few more third-parties into Smash before they give any attention to Assist Trophies.
I think Nintendo would prefer to market their own properties first. I'm sure it makes them more money, and they already have a strong relationship through Smash with pretty much all the significant third party developers in Japan. Especially Square Enix in particular considering all the FF content coming to Switch. Only mention them since people seem to think they have the best chances at getting a new rep. The only third party characters I can see getting in are either Rayman or Crash considering how many requests they get, and they're from third parties that have yet to become a part of Smash.
Considering the plethora of third-parties that fans are considering, as well as the fact that the EventHub poll was about DLC (for which most people are convinced AT characters aren't happening) I guess that's good placement. Could be better, though.
I agree that the AT didn't get much of a touch-up. Basically, the extent of her upgrade is red eyes. Everything else is a standard graphical upgrade that everyone and everything got.
Well, I'll be. Ashley beat the meme himself...and Daisy.
Surprised about the lack of Waluigi tbh
Oh, now that I think about it, I've seen a couple of these posted on GoNintendo in the past.
Regardless, I think it's probably Ashley's most impressive feat when it comes to showcasing her general popularity in Japan.
Better taste? Then again, they like Tingle...
And? Tingle is a neat character. Except in WW, where they made him a horrible person.
