Smash Wii U Third Party Trophies: How many more will we get?

We've got Rayman because Ubisoft just handed him over to Nintendo, and now Commander Video to represent indie games. By the way, trophies to represent indies? Nintendo must be feeling generous! No wonder they call their indie partners Nindies now.

So, I wonder how many more third party trophies we'll get.

Also, it's interesting to see all these trophies when Sakurai has stated countless times in the past that they're special guests that aren't so easy to get into the game. Looks like after Brawl, third party companies have realized they have a chance at becoming part of this huge franchise.

Who are you expecting?

I think Bomberman and Simon Belmont deserve the trophy treatment since they wont be playable anytime soon.

Were probably going to see a bunch of trophies from tons of companies, probably 50-100 of them if I had to guess.
50-100? Slow down there! :laugh:

By the way, didn't the developers of Super Meat Boy ask Ninendo if Meat Boy could join Smash a long time ago? I'm wondering how that turned out now. :smirk:

It does seem like a nice fit for the Wii U, but let's not get off track.

Has Meat Boy gotten a game on a Nintendo platform yet?
Seems unlikely.

I honestly expect that amount, because I suspect that many third-party companies will be sending their own trophy models to Sakurai for him to add in the Wii U version. And there's tons of third-parties like Maxwell, Monster Hunter, Bravely Default, etc. that will probably get a piece of it because of their relationship to Nintendo.

I only mentioned Meat Boy because they asked. It'll be funny seeing everyone but him get a trophy. :p

Anyway, while Nintendo seems generous, they're probably not that generous. Even if we do get that amount, I'd expect most trophies to be from Sega, Capcom, and Bandai Namco franchies.

They were generous enough to give an eShop character CV a trophy, so I don't see why more of them can't be in the game.

I suppose so, but the number you're expecting just seems way too big to me.

Besides, I don't expect multiple trophies from each of these bonus third party franchises. I really doubt Nintendo would get a hundred submissions.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post.

Characters from Shin'en or WayForward might join Smash too. Maybe even some Frozenbyte or Two Tribes.

I don't expect all of them though. At most, just a couple. Maybe Commander Video might even be the only one we get to represent indies.

I'm surprised Shovel Knight didn't represent the Indie community, considering he's pretty popular.

Technically, Rayman is a first party trophy. Rayman Legends was published by Nintendo in Japan. That's why Zael got in too, since Last Story was a Nintendo game in Japan.

Consider Commander Video as a VERY generous exception. There is no way we will see any type of third party representation outside of him, it'd be pretty stupid. Trophies are for learning about the history of Nintendo, not gaming as a whole. The whole concept would be ruined by adding in non-Nintendo characters.

Nah, Rayman isn't first party no matter how you put it. Nintendo only published the game in Japan, but that's it. They didn't gain any of his rights. As for The Last Story, it along with the other Operation Rainfall games are Nintendo franchises. The reason they weren't published by Nintendo here is because Nintendo of America thought it wasn't worth it. Xenoblade was all they were wlling to do. Besides, it's not impossible for a first party game to be published by a third party company.

Also, if that's how you put it, I'd LOVE to see more third party trophies. The history of gaming as a whole would be cool.

Master Chief would be so cool though, he's probably the biggest gaming icon not already in Smash. & if MS were to somehow allow Chief to be in Smash, then Banjo could come with him. :D
We've got a long way to go before Nintendo ever needs to try working something out with Microsoft. :p

I seriously don't see how in any way Master Chief should be in or would fit in Smash Bros...
Like just throw in Goku and Sub-Zero while you're at it.

No, Rayman is first party in this particular case, whether you like it or not. I can assure you, Zael got in because of his Japanese publication. You think he'd get in if he wasnt published by Nintendo in Japan? Maybe that explains why there's no Proffesor Layton representation, and no Hyrule Warriors representation.

You honestly don't get the point of trophies. This is a ****ing Nintendo celebration for crying out loud. You should feel bad about your opinion

Right behind you with a knife.
There's probably going to be a few more, but who knows really what they'll be. I don't think there will be too many from Sega/Capcom/Namco that aren't Sonic/Megaman/Pacman, but there will probably be a few like Bayonetta. Maybe Jack Frost too given the SMT x FE crossover, as well as others based around close partnerships.

Ubisoft is the one that requested that Rayman joins Smash. Also, I can assure you The Last Story is a Nintendo IP. Why are we arguing therights to trophies anyway? All I asked was which characters everyone would like to see. No need for all these technicalities.

I should feel bad about my opinion? Well then, it's not an opinion. I think Smash is becoming more about gaming as a whole. While the roster should remain mostly Nintendo, the trophies can include anything.

Snake is a must for trophies if they don't put him in as a character. A Bayonetta trophy maybe (that's 3rd party, right?). I WANT to see some Capcom and Namco love! Yoshimitsu! Phoenix Wright! Ryu! Probably won't happen, tho.
Oh and i'd love to see Shovel Knight and Shantae get put in.
SHOVEL KNIGHT YES. Seeing him in 3D would be dope. Just like seeing Commander Video :)

Speaking of indies, how about Gunman Clive (that's his name, right?)

Actually when you think about the amount of third-parties, there's only like 30-50 that I can think of (not counting the Sonic, Pac-Man, Megaman trophies)

So yeah, I expect 30-50 now.

Can't believe I didn't think of this! So many good trophies to include...

Gosh dang, indie games need a Smash Bros of their own.
