Don't let this news about Mighty distract you all about the fact artistically, Donkey Kong is the perfect character:



His posture is reassuring and ready for action. His expression, one of confidence and encouragement. The playful hairstyle invoking a sense of childlike wonder, while his physical frame shows that of a seasoned adventurer. He's the kind of Kong you want on your side, the kind of Kong that would never let you down. Never give you up. Never turn around and desert you.

He's the kind of Kong that knows what love is. He's felt it, and probably felt the sting of its loss, too. Is this loss? Or is this the beginning of something new? I wonder, as I stare into his eyes, eyes that hide years of pain, yet so much kindness. So much understanding.

In his family's darkest hour, as they all deep within their soul yearn for a wish they could really use right now, they see it, they see it now, as it's always been in front of them: Endless possibilities. And those endless possibilities, are Donkey Kong. In the end, he will conquer King K. Rool and overthrow his kruel kontraptions and koniving plans for kongquest. He'll unmask any imposter among us, and reach out for the truth. The bad guys will never see him coming.

Actually, I wonder if Sylveon will actually be in the game.

So far, it's just Pokemon shown up to Diamond and Pearl

Actually the trailers did show non-Platinum Dex Pokemon being available such as Sentret and Numel. Promotional artwork also showed Slugma.

Now whether or not it'll all be post game like FRLG has yet to be confirmed

Technically Sonic Mania was made up of a dream team of 3(4?) developers with one of the biggest ones being Christian Whitehead. Considering Christian’s track record it seems, at the very least, he could still be involved in the franchise going forward. As a matter of fact, he and a few other Sonic Mania developers founded Evening Star Studios in 2018 whom have yet to announce their next game. So there is still hope. It’s not all doom and gloom.

I know. I was only pointing it out because of the common belief that the last character is going to be a small/niche pick. I just kind of realized that what's niche in one region is big in another and kind of realized "what if they put this guy last because he's not big in Japan, where the developers are from, so they, by translation, just do not see him as being a big draw". I know it sounds very tinfoil hatty, but I just thought about it.

Though honestly I still have hope the last character is Crash.

But it could just as easily be Ryu Hayabusa or the Mario Rabbids or a Pokemon or Euden etc.

That’s definitely an interesting way to look at it. I don’t necessarily disagree but at this point I can’t pinpoint anyone. Not one idea of who the character is
