So last night a few things happened. First, the cereal leak from PapaGeno’s, and that has now been shown to be fake. (Another reason to not latch onto leaks)
Second, me,
DaybreakHorizon
,
Arcanir
, and
Pyra
had a discussion on western 3rd parties coming to Smash. While good points were made by either side, i’d like to present a bit more, but throw time from
PushDustIn
. We does a better job here than I did last night.
He was able to communicate what I was struggling with.

If you follow that link, it’ll take you to a recent thread of the exact discussion. It’s similar to what I said, but it’s a better argument.
It’s not that Western 3rd parties
can’t happen. But Sakurai has done quite a bit for Japanese gaming, has received rewards for what he has done for Japanese gaming, and has tons of connections within the Japanese gaming industry. He picks 3rd parties of Japanese origin for a reason.
This is probably why we’re getting Dragon Quest.
