Wait, so are Greninja and Charizard their own distinct characters, or are they part of Pokemon Trainer?

The new video was amazing but I'm surprised by how many people are excited by the Charizard announcement. I was under the impression that people preferred the trainer's Squirtle and Bulbasaur way more than Charizard.

People only care about Squirtle when he has the Kamina/Squirtle Squad shades on, and who the hell cares about grass starters?

The final smash could have her turn into Metroid Prime.

The final smash would have the entire stage get covered in phazon, which hurts the other players but heals Dark Samus and increases her attack power.

Perhaps the unknown connectivity between games is if you unlock every character in the 3DS can easily transfer every character to the Wii U and BAM. No longer do you have to wait to unlock characters when you bring your Smash game to your friends house because all you need now is your handy 3DS.

Yes, buy our 200 dollar handheld and you don't have to waste your time unlocking characters.

Probably because Sakurai is a perfectionist and he's not going to want to continue obsessing over new content for the game once it ships.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo could care less if Sakurai is a perfectionist if it means that they can make a shitload of extra money selling us DLC characters. People would happily pay for Mewtwo, Ridley, Ray 01, Saki, etc.

My only wish for Greninja is that Sakurai gives him some sort of Ninja Kirby move like Air Drop.

Considering that we've already seen Greninja rip off Strider's Vajra and Ragnarok super, I think an izuna drop is a pretty safe bet.

Makes me wonder how Nintendo goes about making these games. Do they model Mario from scratch for every game?! You'd think by this point they'd have HD base models for all the major characters that they could use as a starting point.

Nintendo didn't even bother with HD until the WiiU showed up, and you think they would have HD models of every Nintendo character on "standby" for use? There's a reason the games take so long to come out: Everything is scratch built.

I wanted to quote this from a couple pages back because this would be awesome. Generic hunter as a character: borrow moves from all of the weapons for basic A attacks, and maybe use some minor monsters for special attacks. The final smash could be the hunter placing a drugged meat on the ground for a deviljho to run in from loving NOWHERE and eat. Can't just leave it at a sleeping deviljho, though. That's when the hunter pulls out a gunlance and does a wyvern's fire shot to the thing's face! Can't think of an exit for that, though. Maybe deviljho burrows down as if he's switching areas after that.

I can't see it happening. Whoever is in charge of Monster Hunter wouldn't even let Capcom use any MH rep for Marvel vs Capcom 3, where you'd think the "Hunter" would fit in perfectly.

I wonder if Nintendo could get someone Crono from Chrono Trigger into Smash Bros. I'm not sure how rights to characters work though.

Crono is owned by Square, which runs us into the problem again that even if Square gave Nintendo the freedom to put in a third-party character, it sure as gently caress won't be Crono.

I figure if Nintendo sold each game in the trilogy separately for like $19.99 on the Nintendo eShop that would be cool. I mean if Nintendo can port GBA games to the eShop why not Gamecube games or Wii games for that matter?

Of course this is Nintendo so it probably wouldn't happen until 2017, or never.

Steering the conversation in a slightly different direction, what are the odds of Meta Knight and possibly someone else from Kirby getting back in. Next to DDD and Kirby himself, he's the biggest part of the Kirby universe. I know Sakurai said he didn't want to over-represent his own series, but Kirby is pretty huge in Japan I hear, and even though MK was broken in brawl, I still enjoyed him and hope he makes it back.

I would say Meta Knight is a reasonably sure bet, if only because Sakurai made the Kirby franchise so he would obviously have some bias towards his own characters.

It's just Sakurai's policy of using the "latest" incarnations that caused this.

Except that's a bullshit policy, cause he used Super Metroid Samus in Brawl despite having more than enough time to implement Echoes/Corruption's Varia Suit.

The only way to solve this is to go back in time and assassinate Ninja Theory to prevent Other M from ever being made

1.) Ninja Theory ruined DMC, Not Metroid
2.) Sakamoto is to blame for Other M. Team Ninja had to follow his stupid orders.

Correct, which is why Capcom Japan refuses to do anything with Mega Man (Capcom USA is a bit more lenient, as that dumb SFxMM shows) but does make Mega Man being in Smash all the more curious.

There's nothing really all that curious about it. Capcom is in a financial nosedive, so why would they turn down what's essentially free money from Nintendo?
