I have been looking for a while and I can’t find anything. But the Galaga wiki is already pretty bare.
Yeah I don’t think it’s an area Namco put a ton of thought into. For all we know, the pilots could be a character from a different series like Hiromi Tengenji (Burning Force), Masuyo Tobi (Baraduke) or Taizo Hori (Dig Dug)

That's not a leak, it's just a string of code in the website.

It doesn't even point to a fighter. If it actually ends up being something, it could be a Mii costume for all we know, or a Spirit Event. Best to wait and see on that one.
It could be any of these things. Besides. 11 is a weird number to leave off on. 12 is a better number.

I guess I need to come up with that information myself then. I’m creating a Galaga inspired/crossover character for Tekken 8 and naming the ******* is a *****.

That’s cool. But like
Where are my DKC, WarioWare, SMRPG, and Zelda themed content expansions?
THAT’S what they should be doing imo.
I’m sure Diddy will show up.

But with Nintendo’s philosophy when it comes to characters from other games? Yeah, no Zelda and no Warioware crew. Smash and Mario Kart are exceptions. Not a sign of things to come.

And SMRPG is never gonna be a thing again, bruh.

Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Toby Maguire are all back in New York this week.

Given the reports from journalists and theaters, the No way home trailer is being tied to Black Widows release.

Would not be surprise if the 3 Spider-Man drop the trailer first on a talk show somewhere.

You don’t ****ING know that! Why? What do you get from this? What does being a jerk about the characters from a beloved game get you? What benefit does ****ting on people’s dreams get you?

I’m not being a jerk I’m being reasonable.

Alright, sure. Within the infinite and endless possibilities the universe presents, of course there’s a chance for the classic SMRPG to reappear.

But as it stands, there’s no incentive from Square or Nintendo to work together to this extent again. And Nintendo doesn’t seem to want to buy the rights to these characters any time soon, so Booster and Frogfucius won’t be playing Mario Golf. Sorry.

You can dream if you want to, but you act as if it’s the most logical thing to do and it really isn’t. Not to say it wouldn’t be cool, but Mario Golf has sold just fine without Geno’s presence.

You want that to change? Make some noise. Make it irrefutable to Nintendo and Square that bringing these characters back would be big money. And I mean big money. Cuz until then, they have no incentive to.

So call me a jerk if you wanna, I’m just looking at the reality of the situation.


Besides, you like annoying me whenever the Pokémon topic comes up. What’s a little payback?/s

Fair point I guess. I’m just tired. Tired of everything. Like, how can getting the response “it’s never ever gonna happen” whenever you describe something you’ed like to see happen not be disheartening and infuriating? How often does that happen to you?

Cuz I don’t often present my pie in the sky dreams as a completely logical business move, when evidence points otherwise.

Like for example…A Pokémon 3D platformer. Like Banjo Kazooie, or the sandbox Mario’s. Several worlds filled with collectibles and Pokémon characters with unique personalities and quests to give out. Fully voice acted for all regions, of course.

Would this make me piss my pants in joy? Yes. But the Pokémon company doesn’t really need to do this, so I don’t act like they do. Instead I just say “wouldn’t this be rad?”

What is it with people wanting SMRPG characters playing golf?
SMRPG fans are in denial about the fact Nintendo doesn't have plans on making a sequel or anything despite how they've worked with SE multiple times since and didn't include any characters from them. They're also in denial about Mario RPGs not really being as much of a thing anymore

So instead of “that’s what they should be doing” I should have said “I think that’s what they should be doing” and then you would have left well enough alone?

Speaking of which, Kazuya presentation tomorrow and a 99.9% chance he's coming out as well.

Finally, my speculation hibernation can begin.
You still gonna hang around the social?

If ya don't, who else will I pester with mentions when I find funni weeb meme besides Wademan and Ire?

You used to be one of my friends on here. What happened? Why are you being so mean? You act like it was a mistake that should’ve never happened and doesn’t deserve any sort of comeback. I don’t care what makes business sense. I just want to see my favorite characters again! Do I really have to preface myself with “I know super Mario rpg was a garbage game filled with weeb OCs, BUT” every time I talk about it? Why do I have to self deprecate every time I talk about something I like? What is wrong with you people?

I think part of why Mario RPGs kinda died is:

A: Nintendo has developed a phobia of anything resembling a cohesive narrative in Mario.

B: The last few sold kinda bad.

and finally,

C: I think they're going all in on Xenoblade and Fire Emblem being their RPG series, and as such, Mario RPGs just aren't really needed anymore.

THIS IS NOT ME SAYING TO "BLAME" XENOBLADE OR FIRE EMBLEM BTW

PLS DON'T DO THAT.

Gwen gains power from the misery of those beneath her, which is pretty much everyone. Don’t pay it any mind.

Really dude, all you gotta do is say “I think it’d be cool” instead of “what they SHOULD do” because that invites smug jackasses like me to challenge such a strong statement.

What was that?

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over me lighting torches and sharpening my pitch forks.


And why is that blue puppet carrying a rifle marching towards the monolith soft building??

Lol.

Fun fact. Arlo actually is consistently baffled as to why Xenoblade doesn’t sell well over here when Nintendo gives it so much love.

Dagnabbit, Nintendo dev musta went on a tangent about why Goombas can't wear hats anymore.

It's okay, though: Arlos can be calmed with freshly prepared "Metroid: Dread"s. And sandwiches.
