I don’t give a flying fizzle about Banjo. Never had, he’ll probably grow on me, but not to the point where I use him.
DQ on the other hand, was my main changer.
I loved everything about it!
The spell variety. The MP bar. Not to mention, the 3 alt hero skins he brought along!
As long as it was DQ, I didn’t really need a super hype trailer, yet that’s exactly what I got.
And story-mode related. Something I always thought lacked a little... Dragon Quest.
So this trailer and characters hit all the right notes for me.
And after all the hate DQ had gotten for the past 6 months, this was the ultimate “**** YEAH!!!” moment.
Sorry for those who don’t understand, but I stopped watching E3 when the trailer ended. Nintendo owned E3 for me for this and this alone. It was not until like 2 hours later that I found out Banjo too had been revealed and my reaction was... Yah, ok.
But HERO is in the game!!! Against the tide of ignorance and hate!
This has probably been my favorite Smash moment since Sonic got into Smash.
Edit: If I had to nitpick on what I didn’t like. Well.. a variety of weapons would have been nice. And female alts too.
The fact that they recycled other swordsmen attacks was understandable, and my possitive spin on it is that Hero knows all of these sword styles, and mashed them together like a true master!
