We’d get the classic BK I think if it happened. Didn’t Sakurai threaten to not include Pac-Man if he was forced to use the Ghostly Adventures design by Namco?:lol:

Sakurai is a man of principle.

It would be so loving weird to see the Minecraft guy, probably the lowest effort character ever made, in Smash, a series known for insane levels of polish in just about everything.

I don't think even Sakurai could make it work, unless he's a joke character that only has one attack and the same half-assed animations as his home game.
I dunno, I think they could figure something out from the ingredients they're given. Attacks could involve items from the game (Sword, Pickaxe etc.) or building things. An attack that places a destroyable solid block could have some interesting implications, but it could also potentially cause a lot of trouble with screwing up people's recovery attempts.

Final Smash could be, I dunno, summoning the Ender Dragon or something.

Steve? won't make it in as a playable character, but a Creeper will make it in as an assist trophy.

This plus a Minecraft level feels like the stuff they could do. A level would be a lot of fun. destructible and modular and randomized

I don't think it would get a character though

Just Banjo-Kazooie and their level, then a Minecraft level and Creeper assist










And playable Master Chief

I think Cicadas was being less critical of the move potential of Minecraft and more pointing out the gap in design quality between Steve and uh anyone else in Smash. To keep in the spirit of Minecraft they would probably have to keep Steve close to the incarnation you see in the game to be recognizable, so his stiff movements and generally rough design would stick out like a sore thumb compared to the more smooth and polished Smash cast. If they Smash-ified Steve, he would just be some dude and less recognizable as a Minecraft character.

A stage/assist trophy/item is definitely the way to go IMO, unless Sakurai is thinking of or has already thought of a good way to handle Steve's inclusion because if anybody can, it's him.

Microsoft owns Banjo. It would be cool and Microsoft said they’re cool with it but I doubt Nintendo cares that much to deal with the mess of getting him in.

They have Snake, Pac-Man, Sonic, Bayonetta, Cloud, Mega Man, and Ryu. I don't think they'll have any issue getting the rights to put any third party character in Smash.

also re: banjo design in smash, keep in mind that Pac Man doesn't look like that anymore (and didn't in his cartoon that was going around when smash 4 hit) and Sakurai used the retro iconic look anyway

Banjo could look straight out of n64 promo art, they can really do whatever

I'm cool with the N&B design though, it's got a lot of personality

I think with some people really wanting Geno even though he only appeared in one game 20 years ago makes him make sense as a Deep Cut pick, like the Ice Climbers or Pit. He'd be cool.

K.Rool was the main villain of a beloved Not Mario Or Kirby platformer 20 years ago and Nintendo seems to not like him or something-- no K.Rool in the Donkey Kong Country Returns games and all.

Personally I'd love either or both, but K.Rool and "Anyone from Advance Wars" are the only two things that feel downright missing to me.

Plus, maybe K.Rool could switch between identities to play different, or continue the tradition of him having a new identity ever game with a new one.

I'm not too enthusiastic about Banjo/Kazooie being a playable character, I'd rather them give us a Gruntilda assist trophy that just makes a N64 quality text box show up with Grunty insulting all the fighters in rhyme.

I love this idea, but only if it makes the noise, too. REAGH RAGH RUUGH REAH!

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the bear and bird make an appearance, but this would be a great way to give the series a nod if an AT is all they're going to get.

Especially since there are far less relevant characters that have been in the series since the very first game.

K. Rool looked fine in the cartoon, at least, where he's a bit more proportional.

Obviously he is an echo fighter of Bowser, and rather than spit fire he sings a random song from one of the episodes until you stop holding B.

Microsoft isn't a third party, though. They're a rival first party publisher and console manufacturer who are already having issues with console exclusives. It's a different situation.

They're also a high-grossing third-party developer with a history of co-operating with Nintendo dating back to the GBA. It's a strange relationship between the two platform-holders, but if Sakurai and his team wants something from them, I think the complications could be sorted out.
