So, this stage was shown in the 3.0 video, and there are people like, "oh? dragon stage? dragon quest confirmed, sakurai's done more obscure hints in the past". but NO. ONLY I KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

It's a black dragon with red eyes. And I've only ever seen something like that once before.

Anyone else interested let me know. If you are interested please friend request me

Sure I have nothing better to do though I haven't play Splatoon 2 in forever.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They have like no chance imo...

Especially since both their franchises are pretty much dead

Besides they both got Mii Costumes

Link has a freakin Mii Costume. That is just, not a thing.

Even still, I feel like if they were going to appeal to N64 nostalgia for a Smash character, a Rare character (namely Banjo) if the best pick.

 

[Deleted member]

hello everyone

 

[Roberto zampari]

Sorry, i mistook the 2026 with 2020.
It's because of the mario icon blocking on the 2020 in a Nintendo.

E3 2019 will have big surprises.

 

[Pyra]

Joker in Smash Bros Ultimate was amazing and Mementos was cool, but...

Am i the only one who prefer Arsene Lupin as the Final Smash over the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?
Why included Phantom Thieves as the Final Smash?

Because All Out Attack is bad***

Edit: oops sorry mods it didn’t register to me, am sick in bed so I passed over it

For some reason, I kinda doubt they're looking for a way to cater to the fans of a specific console.

 

[SlickWylde]

Animal Crossing
Custom Robo
Sin and Punishment
Super Smash Bros

Those are really the only notable ones I can think of on the top of my head

Paper Mario is its own franchise kinda, right?

But yeah in general N64 mostly reinvented franchises, as opposed to creating new ones. Think about the difference between the N64 versions of these franchises and the SNES versions:

Super Mario
Donkey Kong
Metroid
Kirby
Zelda
Star Fox

 

[osby]

Joey would be a better Yu-Gi-Oh rep, don't @ me.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Mario Odyssey says otherwise.....

N64 fans are in the prime space to have their nostalgia exploited for profit.

 

[Pyra]

Joey would be a better Yu-Gi-Oh rep, don't @ me.

As long as he has his accent

On that note, Dedede should have his cartoon voice as well

I agree, there should be another N64 rep, and that's why Paper Mario should get in the game over (almost) anyone else.

 

[staindgrey]

Okay, real talk. How many NEW franchises were birthed by the N64 besides Rare characters?

Hardly any. Ramen Tengoku mentioned the only ones I know of.

The N64 was an odd duck because it was hard to code for in comparison to disc-based consoles, it had a weird controller they had to design games around using, and developers were still in the early stages of figuring out how to make 3D games work.

The N64 has the smallest number of games for any of Nintendo's home consoles for a reason. As a result of all these negatives, Nintendo played it safe with their first party titles-- essentially making 3D versions of already existing properties like Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, etc.-- while most of the interesting third party titles moved to Playstation.

It's why I don't have much N64 nostalgia. All the concepts that came to the console were better executed on the Gamecube.

If Banjo gets in it’s to cater to the core fan base, where he is a popular speculation pick. Not for some sense of “N64 Nostalgia” or what-have-you.

Link has a freakin Mii Costume. That is just, not a thing.

Even still, I feel like if they were going to appeal to N64 nostalgia for a Smash character, a Rare character (namely Banjo) if the best pick.

Okay, but also Link was a playable character BEFORE getting a Mii Costume.

Your argument would be better if you cited Chrom, but even then he’s an echo fighter in the base roster.

There is no precedence for a Mii Costume, either in base game or as DLC, yielding a unique fighter, let alone a unique DLC fighter.

3rd or 4th if not counting handhelds, still SNES reigns supreme.

 

[TheMightyP]

I would love to join, but uh...

I got work to do.

Tag me some other time, whenever you guys do it again, OK? Hopefully I'll be able to join.

 

[TheCJBrine]

If Banjo is coming (please), it's because of Phil Spencer and Microsoft getting chummy with Nintendo and Sakurai liking the idea of them and wanting to please fans, not because of repping the N64.

I'd love to but I can't at the moment and my Splatoon 2 cartridge is increasingly malfunctioning, meaning I could randomly DC mid-match

That’s fair. There’s always next time, which will probably be Saturday.

Well frie d request me and you can join.

N64 fans are in the prime space to have their nostalgia exploited for profit.

So if we get a character who made its debut in N64, it'll be because of wanting the money of a certain fanbase, not to rep a console.

Okay, but does the SNES have Mario Sunshine? I think not

Weird way to spell Switch

 

[Wademan94]

Think about the difference between the N64 versions of these franchises and the SNES versions:

Metroid

Um, you do realize there wasn’t a Metroid game for the N64 right?

 

[ColietheGoalie]

Honestly, it bugs me a bit how much effort they put into Joker.

So many veteran characters that drag along outdated/vanilla move-sets, and then random third-parties show up as DLC with an immaculate level of detail and totally unique mechanics or things other characters were denied. Similar things happened with Ryu, Bayonetta, and Cloud, and as a Nintendo fan it's become a bit of a pet-peeve.

Don't get me wrong, he looks fun and I love his aesthetic. And I understand the idea of roster work-load and the drive to make DLC desirable for purchase/worth the money. It just seems a little lame to reserve that level of care for all the non-Nintendo add-ons.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

So if we get a character who made its debut in N64, it'll be because of wanting the money of a certain fanbase, not to rep a console.

Well yeah. Games from that era have just cycled into the nostalgia exploitation spotlight at this point due to the natural aging process of the fans. That's why I have my money on Banjo and Crash.

Um, you do realize there wasn’t a Metroid game for the N64 right?

Somehow I think that was the point.

 

[praline]

@ShotoStar I think I’m gonna close it for now and maybe try in the afternoon when more people are here

I would agree with this if this was Smash 4, but a lot of veterans got updated in Ult, so I don't really see an issue.

[Alternis]

I agree with you, but I believe Snakefighter means that people who grew up with the N64 are now old enough to crave nostalgia and such. Though if Banjo gets in, this point will be a coincidence, not the cause.

 

[RawstyleEevee]

Do we know if Jokers School uniform alt costume is labeld as a Fighter Spirit? Because if that follows the pattern of the other Alt costume fighter spirits like Meta Ridley, Overalls Wario etc., I feel Spirit theory got even more fuel at this point
