Which Series Need More Representation?

[omiz144]

Going along with the info that is currently confirmed, what series need more representation?

My list:

#1) Advance Wars: With 3 American games out, not including the Battalion Wars semi-spinoff, and another on the way, Advance Wars is quickly becoming a staple series in Nintendo's line-up. I think this series deserves more then one AT.
#2) Fire Emblem: Yes, we have an AT, a character, and a stage. But Fire Emblem has over 10 games and is one of Nintendo's oldest and strongest series. I would say another two playable characters is deserved
#3) Metroid: Yay, we got a new character. What? It's a part of Samus??? Come on! I'm thinking a lot of ATs and Ridley would give this series fair representation. I mean come on! Metroid could be compared to the likes of Zelda and Mario!
#4) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney: Okay okay, this is a bit of personal desire. But with 3 American DS games, I want a Phoenix AT!!! "OBJECTION!"
#5) Harvest Moon: This series spans system after system in a tried and true formula for fun gameplay. I'm not sure if they are 1st party or not, but I want to see at least an AT. I think Jack would make a pretty good character though.


What would you all like to see?

 

[Masterem243]

You know that Youko's gonna lock this, so why bother? That guy's an *** anyway.

 

[Fossilized Ursidae]

Isn't phoenix wright made by Capcom? It may not get any representation at all, just cuz they'd want to use the blue bomber. That is if Capcom owns the rights, which is what I'm assuming.

 

[Xanderous]

I expect Phoenix as an assist trophy.

I mean, hell, we got Dr. Wright.

 

[Rhubarbo]

I want more Golden Sun and Pikmin...

HARVEST MOON AND PHOENIX WRIGHT...YOUKO PUNCH! NAOW!

 

[Masterem243]

Don't encourage him. It's inevitable anyway.

 

[ThatInsaneKid]

I totally agree with Points 1-4. Except Phoenix should be a playable character.

I also think that the Legend of Zelda series is slightly under-represented as well, at this point. ((Two characters, no stages.))

The Nostalgia-Group could use a few more PCs... So far we only have Ice Climbers and Pit. Game and Watch would be nice. :x

Animal Crossing lacks a PC, too. :x

 

[Tobi-]

Hmm..Well..I can't think of any really.

I think all is represented fine to me.

After all, it's suppose to be a mascot war, not entire series representation. those were just add-ons I suppose.

 

[finalark]

Golden Sun, that's all I want to see is at least an assist trophy of Isaac or someone and then I'll be happy.

But a playable wouldn't be bad ether...

 

[omiz144]

Oh...

Sorry, didn't realize this was out-of-order.

Why will this be locked again?

 

[Masterem243]

Sorry, didn't realize this was out-of-order.

Because there is either a thread similar to this premise that exists in 2005 that you're expected to know about, or you posted this in the wrong forum.

 

[soviet prince]

metroid needs more playable characters coughridleycough

 

[notftomearth7]

Star Fox-most awesome flight-sim ever, with such a simple, yet intriguing storyline
F-Zero- I mean, this is a given. The F-Zero storyline in GX made it clear that Nintendo believes in the popularity of the series
Retro- It would appeal to a wider audience (At least for the Wii anyway, who's audience consists entirely of kids and overzealous parents who haven't touched a video game till now)

Third Party- We've got Snake and Sonic, the latter of the two probably better off as an assist trophy) we need more

 

[Frogla]

I think Masterms mad cause Youko warned him or something.

Pokemon deffintley needs more reps. 5 or 6 is nice.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

Metroid and Mother.

 

[XACE-K]

F-Zero. 10 chars

The Legend of Zelda has 2 Stages.

I agree though, we need more retro and unique Characters. Like Captain Olimar, Ridley, Lucario and others.

Heck, even Balloon Fighter.

And the Mother series need more representation. *Cough* Claus *Cough*

Not really. I just cant stand the mods here. As a good friend of mine once said: "The mods here are epic fail."

 

[omiz144]

I forgot all about retro! I think they also need more.

 

[hungrybum]

yay! six reps! yoshi and DK'series need more reps!

5 or 6? I hope you aren't serious or sarcastic.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I say that all series should get 5 tops and no more.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

5 or 6? I hope you aren't serious or sarcastic.

That's his opinion Tobi, yours may differ but that makes no difference.

 

[Frogla]

5 or 6? I hope you aren't serious or sarcastic.

Im defintley sarcastic, but about this yes seriously.

Pokemon is nintendo's 2nd biggest franchise.
And you dont expect Mario to have 4 reps. Pokemon should have the same roster spots as Mario has. *Counting PT as 1.

 

[Xarias]

Don't encourage him. It's inevitable anyway.

I don't see why, this is a viable topic. Unless there's already a thread like this somewhere. As long as it doesn't become too much about certain characters, I see nothing wrong with it.

Some series I'd like more representation for:

• Donkey Kong: Dixie as playable.
• Zelda: Hero of Winds Link as playable
• Metroid: Though I don't care either way, I admit that Ridley would be pretty cool as playable.
• Star Fox: Krystal with her Adventures outfit and staff would be an awesome character with unique moves.
• Sonic: Tails and Knuckles included somehow, either playable or assist.

Also, I really want to see Chrono Trigger in the game somehow. One of the best games ever made, originating on the SNES, and not included in Brawl? BLASPHEMY!!

Fail.

Bridge of Eldin is from Zelda.

 

[General Diddy]

Fire Emblem.

 

[Masterem243]

It belongs in the Character Discussion Forum. And if not, Youko'll find another reason to lock this.

 

[Prince Karo]

1. Nintendo/Advance Wars

The sheer number of games in this series top all except for Nintendo's big three. Definately needs a rep.

2. Zelda

This series is as popular as Mario, and should have about the same amount of reps.

3. F-Zero

We've got 3 Kirby reps and only (likely) one F-Zero one? Come on!

 

[Sage of Pwnage]

fire emblem has gotten enough publicity for a mediocre franchise.

 

[Puffs]

it starts with "M" and ends with "etroid"

 

[Tobi-]

It may be big, that doesn't mean we should just fill up the roaster with 6 pokemon characters. It would seem redundant, especially since pokemon can span from anywhere to 493 of them.
In Melee pokemon had 4, which is alot if you think about it. Mario, being the biggest fanchise, had 5, which isn't that much of a difference.

I just think there could of been room for other unique characters aside from 6 others taking up space. The most a series should get is 3 or 4, excluding mario since it is the holy grail for the game.

And Pluvia I know it was his opinion. I wanted him to state why. after all, this is a discussion.

 

[J_Puff]

Metroid - We need Dark Samus and Ridley. Not just Ridley. BOTH!

Retro - We need Sukapon to join Pit, G&W, and the Ice Climbers!

Mother - Claus could join Lucas. It'd be cool to see more than one Mother character for once in a Smash Bros. game.

As for the Harvest Moon idea, I was thinking the same thing but realized that Jack is 3rd party, and there are more "deserving" (as they say) characters. I agree that Megaman, Bomberman, etc. are more important than Jack, but he's been on every Nintendo system since the SNES...maybe that's something to consider along with the fact that he'd have a VERY interesting moveset. I still have one saved on my computer btw...

Mario will probably have 5-6 charachters not counting his spinoffs. Yoshi and Wario making around 8 so i think its pretty fair for 5 pokemon.

well yoshi and wario both had their own seperate games which became widely popular. I think if yoshi's island or wario ware weren't invented they wouldn't be in the game.

Maybe still yoshi because he's mario's side-kick.


also to be off-topic. i had a really random thought. How come in Super Mario world you could never use Yoshi inside haunted houses or castles?

Yoshi was too scared. And it was probably for more of a challenge too. And to keep the creepy music bongo-free.

 

[gigasteve]

Well, since Ridley has a Good chance, I would say K. Rool.

 

[Banjodorf]

DK needs a little more representation. K. Rool for Brawl

Pikmin also needs some representation.


There Im done

 

[Youko]

Hey, look!!

I'm leaving this open!!


Maybe you shouldn't try to predict stuff like that, Masterem, and actually let a mod decide. Cuz it kinda makes you look like...well, I don't need to continue.


Anyway, on topic, METROID. Far and away it's Metroid. Zamus doesn't count, there needs to be space dragon involvement for sure.

I played a game like that once. I couldn't remember the title but I couldn't use Yoshi's inside buildings either. Think of Yoshi as Mario's destrier. Horses were always tied outside and instructed to await for their master's return, right? Guess that concept was implemented in the games, too.

I could stand to see a few more updates with the egg icon, too. And maybe Ats for that as well and also for the W and triforce logos.
