True, Bowser Jr. does have a chance and is the only one left other than Geno that does. Pit is repping a retro series, the retro characters pop up without popularity to begin with. Although these are true, this does not count Geno out of the picture.
I don't see why when he got 4-5 mentions in Sakurai's journal plus Sakurai asked around about the character
People from around the world took polls telling what characters they wanted in Brawl and why. Of all of them, Sakurai posted some in his journal. Of ALL the characters that were suggested, Sakurai took 4-5 of the letters that contained Geno and posted them...that is a lot considering the ONLY character mentioned more was King Dedede with 5.
)Ice Climbers...Oke I'll admit he stands a good chance however I don't like it at all since he was in only one game but I'll leave now then (****ed I hate it when I lose
Well, before Melee were they already unique? Geno's unique. =|
Geno had a small cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, showing that the character might not be down and out for the count just yet.
Geno hasn't missed any Mario games except M&L: SS. They just didn't put him in because Square owns him.
I don't think they were being douche bags. I just think that thy didn't quite let him out of his cage yet. There's still hope for Brawl though, my friends.Geno only missed a bunch of Mario games, b/c Square was being douchebags
Duh.
They broke off from Nintendo mid-development for SMRPG2. Now if that's not bull, I don't know what is.
100,000? or something?
They probably would keep him hidden in obscurity until they make another SMRPG game. They don't have to make money off of and use every character they possibly can.
Maybe it's a royalty on each copy sold. That'd add up pretty quickly if SSBB gets close to or goes over what SSBM sold.
Geno is useless to Square anyway, they took all the SMRPG characters that werent already property of Nintendo in the split. Unfortunetly for them none of those characters can be used outside the Mario "Universe". Which means every new character created in that game and was taken in the split is unusable unless used in a Mario based game...which they will never be able to do. The only thing they can do is loan them out to Nintendo or resell them to Nintendo. Something which should have been done a long time ago.
Well, of course Nintendo had to pay to "rent" Snake. Kojima may have created him but the copyright is still under Konami (which I don't understand since Kojima has broken off and made his own company, Kojima Productions. I guess he still needs the financial security...). Regardless, Kojima probably was able to pull some strings to bring the cost down.
If they are gonna do an overhaul on everything else, why would they only add 5 more characters than the previous game?
Or like a normal person would say...he's only showing starters(save 3rd party characters) and he may not show the secret characters at all or until after it's japan release.
Agreed. He may be saving them to add even more to the hype when he does reveal a character. (Whatever millenium that may occur in
)
Or he's stalling for time since there are still 5 weeks until this game comes out. Still, we already have 22 characters, there are still 6 icons which haven't had a character rep yet (Animal Crossing, F-Zero, DS, icon 13 (which is logically Game and Watch) and icon 19) meaning the game would have to have a minimum of 28 characters, Melee had 26 characters, Brawl's development time has been almost triple Melee's (seriously, 10 months compared to the current 26...), Sakurai estimated about twice as many people were working on Brawl then Melee, etc. This game is definately going to have more then 30 characters...
