I'm not gonna lie this is why I made myself finally power through the rest of Xenoblade a week ago. It's a good as hell game but its also really long. Thank you Smash Bros for making me finish it

The fact that they're still using Twilight Princess designs for the Zelda characters instead of Skyward Sword is a bit of a spoiler for details on the end of that game. (no Ganon.)

Except that all the promotional material and interviews leading up to SS explicitly said "no Ganon" over and over so it wasn't really a secret.

Duck Hunt's going too far for me. He's from a game that sold a lot, but how much would it have if it wasn't bundled with Super Mario Bros?

It was literally the first video game I ever played or knew about. It, SMB and that track game was the only game my grandpa's NES had. My introduction to video games as a pure concept was hearlded by mario and that loving dog.

I think that's the point. Like 9/10 kids who played Super Mario Brothers probably had that combo kart. It's also like the only game anyone knows that used the NES Zapper. It's super iconic of early NES.

Duck Hunt's Zapper was right there alongside ROB as the two reasons they were able to trojan horse the NES into stores as a 'toy' when nobody wanted to buy a new video game system. Duck Hunt Dog's earned his place.

While we're talking about the Duck Hunt dog, anyone who says they didn't put the zapper right up next to the TV screen to cheat at the game is a huge liar and their crimes are probably as terrible as the dog himself.

That loving Laugh is embedded into the psyche of anyone that owned an NES just as clearly as the SMB music. Even if it didn't become a huge franchise that had bestsellers on every Nintendo console it is still more iconic to anyone who owned an NES than the Ice Climbers or even ROB were. (More people owned the version that lacked ROB and just came with the combo cart and a zapper)

Either way, I'm more annoyed about the leak than anything else. Mainly because the fact that Dark Pit, Doc, and Lucina are separated into their own "clone" section bugs the heck outta' me, as well as the fact that Yoshi is between Rosalina and the rest of the Mario characters, despite him having an entirely separate emblem and being considered part of a different series. If this is what the final roster looks like (and I hope it doesn't, because the arrangement is stupid), then it's super lame. Getting spoiled instead of being excited for character reveals is also really lame.

Maybe the characters are in weird places because not everyone has been unlocked in that screen yet? Didn't the previous games do some weird juggling while you were unlocking characters? (please don't take the Ice Climbers away, Sakurai, please. :ohdear:)

There's always the chance he was downgraded to a costume for Ness, I suppose. (They might as well throw in Ninten too if that's the case.)

In Melee, Pikachu switched with Luigi, but that was it.

In Brawl and SSB4, characters are inserted into the grid at various positions and the icons perioadically shrink, but the order of the characters when read from left to right never changes. Within this system, there's no way to get the "clone group" characters into position with the rest of their series.
