What ever happened to Geno?

[antimatter]

The Whole Effing Disc Has Been Checked! Sakurai Himself Said There Was No Dlc Characters! Give Up Hope Now!

 

[Fugue]

COMPLETE SUMMARY OF TOPIC:
Nothing. He was never planned as a character, so no 'things' happened to him.

 

[P.E]

I´m glad he didn´t make it into the game. I´d rather have K.K. Slider from Animal Crossing instead of this weird wooden puppet.

 

[hoonyboy]

I think Geno's lesser known than Marth in the States when Melee came out. At least IMO.

So no Geno.

 

[the_Capt_Falcon_Master]

as far as the downloadable content thing, i think its partially true, cause at the end of march i started recieving user created stages, and pictures online. Unfortunatly i think that is the only downloadable stuff we will be getting.

 

[G-X]

Neither Sakurai nor Nintendo ever asked Square for Mega Man.

That conversation would be really awkward. >_<

 

[Dekuknight950]

Does anybody have the link to the site that talked about this DLC in march?

 

[omfgomfg]

no, geno's at the star road.

GENO IS DEAD.i

 

[Blathazar]

Does anybody have the link to the site that talked about this DLC in march?

No, because it is a lie

 

[Dekuknight950]

it was not an april fools joke, it just so happens the information wasnt released until the end of march, it was actually released around mid march, but didnt spread until the end which then people over exagerated and assumed, even though it was not even on april 1st that it was an april fools joke.

Where's your proof?

What do you mean that is not Nintendo? And what makes this article fake?

110mb is a storage term, i believe.

So this obviously proves that Sakurai intended this game to not be a game "for the fans".

Any game is for the players. Fans come after that. I guess it was just inconvenient for Sakurai to focus on what fans want, as to what the genre needs.

it would have been nice to see geno but nintendo doesn't own his rights

 

[Dekuknight950]

Well think of it like this: Back in melee Marth and Roy were two very obscure characters nobody in the US really knew about at all; same goes for Geno, but he was a bit more well known seeing as Super Mario RPG was a past time on the SNES. There would've been nothing wrong with his inclusion, especially as a 3rd party. If they could pull strings for Snake, and especially Sonic seeing as he made it in late in the production, it could've been done easily, as long as transactions between Square Enix and Nintendo went well.

 

[Fugue]

You're not very familiar with the issues involved in intellectual property rights, are you?

 

[susu_atari]

Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno Geno

Are we still talking about Geno? What the hell?

Geno is over. He was never going to be in it in the first place. Nobody likes Geno.

/facepalm

Your mixing up many, many, many different things here

 

[0RLY]

Let it rest. Nintendo actually would've put Megaman in the game, but they were waiting for a call from Capcom for the rights. However, Capcom stated that they were also OK with Nintendo putting Megaman in Brawl, but they were waiting for a call from Nintendo to ask them. In the end, nothing was accomplished.

Geno... if you want info on him, just read the last couple of pages.

I love geno.

Bumpity bump...

 

[supermariopro101]

Poor, Geno. I truly think he was a one-time character just used to explain the story of the Star Road in SMRPG. This same question could be applied to Mallow(but he's a crybaby so no one wants him). lol

Pit hadn't been seen since Kid Icarus(before appearing in Brawl of course). Maybe Nintendo has something planned for Geno in the future. *sighs*

 

[Tails the Fox]

Geno had no place in Brawl. Some one time only side-character just doesn't cut it. Not famous enough. Just overhyped by the fans.

 

[Mini Mic]

Nobody wanted him in and so he wasn't in

 

[Dekuknight950]

He has a chance at least, plus he had plenty of possibilities for a excellent moveset.

 

[Uncle Fitzy]

There was an article a while back speculating that Geno had been planned on being in the game and work had started on incorporating him just before the deal with Square Enix didn't work out. In the article it speculated that this was tied to Brawl's first launch delay. I bet you could find the article if you searched on Google.

 

[Dekuknight950]

Well, hopefully this DLC thing comes to pass and is hopefully true. But we can only hope...

Copyright hell.

Don't you think its weird that neither Nayru, Din, or Farore got even stickers, even though they helped in creating Hyrule? That's because their characters were created by Capcom for the Oracles and as such are stuck in copyright hell.

Either that, or Skaurai just has a bad memory .

 

[Tinkerer]

He was a sidecharacter in one game. A lot of cult popularity doesn't get him in.

Still was a rumour, although I can believe that Square Enix protested - he didn't even get a sticker, did he?

 

[IWuvGeno]

Why the hell does everyone like Geno so much? He was a silly character.

 

[Shuma]

Geno was never planned, the only ONLY character Sakurai EVER said that he though of making a playable character was Ridley. No mention ANYWHERE 'bout Geno.

Geno suffered from the Krystal syndrome, i always said Wolf was way more popular than Krystal, and that Krystal fans were more noisy than Wolf's, look what happened, Wolf=original moveset Krystal=cameo.

Also, No DLC EVER:

that one time only character nearly had a sequel, except square became total ****s and went to sony to make Final Fantasy VI. The game was released, with only the basic battle system and mario being involved intact. you know what game that was? paper mario.

Bumpity bump...

WHY ARE YOU BUMPING THIS
WE HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU WHERE GENO WENT
NOWHERE
HE WAS NOT PLANNED
NOT
NEVER
NADA
NYX
AT NO POINT WHATSOEVER DID SAKURAI REALISTICALLY INTEND TO ADD GENO AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER

Copyright hell.

Incorrect. Nayru, Din, and Farore are all Zelda mainstays. They've been the names of the Goddesses since LoZ:LttP. They also showed up in the 64 version.

Don't make stuff up.

 

[Phaazoid]

I don't think the tread is up anymore, but it was a list of characters voted in Japan of who they wanted in Brawl having King Dedede, Ike, Diddy, and Geno recieve the most votes. I'll try to find unless someone else knows where it is.

you forgot ridley, he tied with them too

but the characters were chosen before that poll...

Foo'! They were in Ocarina of Time for like all of a minute. But the first time we ever got a good look at them was as the oracles in Oracle of Ages/Seasons, and they were created by Capcom. Meh, its a bad example: Ralph and Maple are slightly better ones.

look at the sheer amount of pages. there were some people who just posted once to show their support. many forums had their own support threads for him. he was one of the most wanted characters.
