Give him a santa hat =p and make his cloak red!

Anyways *looks at previous page*

Joy...HES back. Anyways the only way we will know if Geno is 3rd party or not if he, like Snake and Sonic gets a intro vid like they did.
Huge "IF" He's updated, We have no clue about intro vids for instance they can be shown after you unlock the character etc, And they still have to pay rights for him, Only difference is that his legal rights cost less :p (Which is good.).

Nope, but Sakurai must give one already! I hope it's Geno, but Krystal, Claus or even Ashley works for me.
Claus Krystal or Ridley would be enough to go "ZOMGZOMGZOMG"

Hmmm i see the discussion is rather a bit plain, So let's just hypothetically say that Geno get's confirmed twomorrow, That and luigi makes 5 Mario Newcomers so there IS A Good possibility at seeing another if that happens, Who would you say has a higher chance for that 6th Slot? Paper Mario or Bowser Jr? Seriously i'm not sure...But huge if's on the table.

Bowser Jr. I'd say.
He's been popping up really frequently in the world of Mario games, and played a very major role in Super Mario Galaxy.
I'm sure Sakurai would want to acknowledge that.

Of course all characters get some movie but on the dojo site right now only those 2 have a intro vid.

O.O God, how is a character who appeared in 1.5 games this popular? Super Mario RPG isn't even that well known for one, Geno was in Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga and I was just like "Ok, what the **** is that thing?" I mean really, it was a cameo appearance but how can he be this popular?

Ice Climbers were an interesting concept though.

Geno's just some random character. >.>

Unless they made him really interesting and different.

So you mean to tell me a doll, possessed by a star, with a cannon built into his hand that fires bullets, beams, and has a multiple array of possibilities isn't interesting?

No. He's just another character. If his physics or moveset were actually interesting (which is a good possibility) then I'd see Geno as easily being in the final roster.

I'm just trying to offer views from both sides. I think Geno would be a great addition.

Not that well known?

SMRPG was THE game of the SNES, and virtually everyone above the age of 16 will recognize Geno in an instant (provided they were into games). SMRPG sold 1.4 million copies in Japan alone, which was a hell of alot of numbers 11 years ago.

He brings backs memories (for myself too, as well as many others) which is why he was suggested, and he could be in the Mario universe alot more provided Brawl markets him successfully.

Please, do tell, who would be a more unique addition to the roster.

SMRPG Wasn't that popular....I mean I recognized Geno in Superstar Saga....but not immediately..
It was a good game....but it wasn't THE SNES game...
Still....Geno for Brawl!!

If it wasn't that popular, then how is Geno still being desired in games today?

His popularity is the only thing keeping him afloat, seeing as he's nearing retro status.

I know you're trying to show a view from "both sides", but you have to admit, "he's too random" is a stupid argument, as well as "just another character, so why not (X) character instead?" because they can be applied to literally every character not yet confirmed. People were pulling those excuses on Red, and look what happened :rolleyes:. People also pulled those comments on Stafy, and look what happened :(. See where this is going? Add this concept to unconfirmed characters and there you have it, the only argument that really pops up when naysayers argue that Geno shouldn't be in.

If SMRPG isn't popular than why is it the most voted game for the VC?
If Geno isn't popular than why is he at the top of the polls with Ridley, Ike, Dedede and Diddy?

I wasn't saying it isn't popular, I'm just saying it isn't the Halo 3 of its Generation..
Still, its a fan favorite today, plus Geno was and still is VERY iconic :p

Don't ever compare Super Mario RPG to the likes of Halo. EVER. In fact, let's just not mention Halo at all, that'll save us from any unwanted drops in our IQ's.

Than don't you think that 360's would be selling out this holiday season rather than Wii's? :lick:

Definitely a character. Sakurai wouldn't pay Square anything just to make Geno an AT.

Well, not for me. =|
Once Brawl is released in North Amerca or even Japan I proably won't be coming back here for another while. I wouldn't wanna spoil the Geno surprise.

I'm way too anxious.
Wouldn't want my hopes held high when I get the case, then get them crushed when I find out Geno is out.

Rather just find it out earlier so I can put my guessing mind to rest about which of my favorite characters made it in.

More like attack the internet the night of the 24th for answers on who's in or out.
Indeed. The forums are gonna go nuts with confirmations all over. I once again will have a japanese source feeding me info to post like I did with CoroCoro.

But maybe Geno is so awesome that he takes 2 years to unlock and we won't even know until after we're playing Brawl. Even the PAL people will be playing Brawl by then.
