Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo Switch, December 7th, 2018) Video Game • Page 102

Banjo is cool and all but the Dragon Quest powers look so fucking interesting and unique. Like Robin and Shulk combined

 

This means that "leak" of the DLC characters is wrong right? The one that had like DOOM and Halo characters or something? That's a good thing imo


Crash Bandicoot for Smash

 

Just getting DQ music is worth it even if the character turns out to be bad, which I doubt

 

I don’t think Master Chief is true because they won’t add two Microsoft characters at once. I do think he’s a pretty solid bet for future entries. As is Minecraft’s protagonist. As far Doom Guy goes - how many unannounced characters are left? Two? I don’t think Doom Guy is taking one of those slots.

Personally I think a new Pokemon or a new FE character could be one. Maybe a Yo-Kai. Maybe some Capcom character. Box Boy SHOULD be one.

 

Would love to see a zelda villain as that series is sorely lacking in representation outside of clones, but I sincerely doubt we're gonna be getting any first party representation in this pack. I'd love an indie rep but that feels more like a pipe dream

 

If the first 3 are any indication, they've all been from unrepresented series. So as much as I'd like like a Paper Mario, I think they're adding new games with this round of DLC. Cuphead might be possible, but after Banjo I'm satisfied and they can do whatever.

 

My want of DLC has been thoroughly sated by Banjo. They could add 8 bit mario and steve and tony the tiger from now and I wouldn't give a damn

 

I do find it weird that Nintendo chose the DLC, not sakurai, and they chose Banjo. He hasn’t had a game on a Nintendo console in 2 decades almost. I was expecting Nintendo only to include characters that had games recently or coming out in the near future.

 

I mean, he’s a Nintendo icon that was sold, plus Nintendo and Microsoft have been very friendly recently, so it does make sense. Plus people kept asking.

 

They probably did really well in the poll. With this reaction the old games should be playable on the switch, if that wasn’t in the works already.

 

Na Nintendo gave Sakurai a list of characters/games/series to choose from for DLC and he picked out the five making an appearance - while it wasn't his list, it's still his character choices.

 

Trying to think of who else from a never represented franchise could be added. I see at least one more nostalgia pick, maybe Rayman?

 

Banjo trailer made me so happy. I’m not a Dragon Quest but my friend who loves the series and platinumed XI earlier this year was stoked. Very excited about the music from both series making it in.

 

I think Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, a Hunter from Monster Hunter, and Dante from Devil May Cry all still have good shots of getting in

 

I have a feeling this will be the only one, tho technically Dragon Quest as a very old series counts as well.

 

Not this time, but sure, Rayman is definitely a likely Smash candidate.

 

Yeah I thought earlier Leon might be a good bet too

 

Nintendo made the initial list. If Nintendo never listed Banjo as a possibility than Sakurai wouldn't have chosen him.

 

I doubt Rayman will make it since he's in brawlhalla

 

I would still like to see Lara Croft

 

I’d kinda prefer if they chose more cartoony characters instead of more realistic characters.

More Banjo and less Snake.

 

The dragon quest character feels like max complicated, texhnical, seemingly a ton of options and hard to learn. Banjo Kazooie feels like straight forward cartoony fun and easy to play. This game is great at striking these balances.

 

Isn’t Rayman an assist trophy? Would that preclude him?

I know it’s super niche, but I’d love Andy from Advance Wars (or another character from that game)

 

Still waiting.
