Part of me is kicking and screaming with "DO NOT WANT", and part of me is sitting with a quiet sense of satisfaction and anticipated ass-kickings.

I just wonder who the third man is from outside Nintendo Land, though really I want Captain N the GAME MASTER in this.

Captain N is one of those things in my childhood I could go forever without remembering.

ROMate · « **Reply #3 on:** October 10, 2007, 02:35:49 pm »

I'm still hanging on for Little Mac as a new character. For 3rd party, I'm betting on Mega Man.

SSB shall become a giant cross-over series.

Kinda like Super Robot Wars, 'cept it's between games rather then mecha anime.

ROMate · « **Reply #5 on:** October 10, 2007, 08:31:12 pm »

I guess I'll eventually accept the new direction this is taking, but for now it's very "do not want".

Am I the only one who's happy with it...? I mean, he seems a good character to play with, why all the hate?

ROMate · « **Reply #9 on:** October 11, 2007, 01:44:37 pm »

Not really hate from my end. I've just got a few misgivings because it's a pretty big change to a number of things. They updated with his special moves today, so I'm pretty excited.

I'm betting on Mega Man.

CAPCOM hasn't shown a lot of support for Nintendo consoles in the last ten years. Therefore, I seriously doubt Mega Man will be making an exclusive appearance on Wii anytime soon. Besides, Mega Man isn't the Mega Man we remember anymore anyway. He's gone through too many negative facelifts over the years to be worth bringing into the SSB series now. Try to bring in the X or ZX versions and people will clamor for the original. Bring in 80s Mega Man and younger fans won't recognize him. No-win situation.

Sadly, CAPCOM's lack of interest means Viewtiful Joe and the Bionic Commando are probably also off the table. (I still think a Bionic Commando DS could compete for game of the year. It's the perfect classic for stylus control.)

I'll put my money on Bonk as the next secret character to be revealed. Now that Sonic's on board it makes sense to also represent the TG16 in order to sell more classic games through Wii Shop.

From the stand point of popular characters, Mega Man still makes sense. At least, more sense than Bonk. Nobody knows who the fuck that is.

That logic doesn't really work when you consider the obscurity of a lot of the characters in Smash Bros. I didn't even know about EarthBound until I found out where Ness was from.

Same.

In the same sense, I doubt more than 2% of most kids to teenagers have even heard the name "Mr. Game and Watch" before unlocking him in SSBM.

ROMate · « **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2007, 07:41:05 pm »

The 3rd party characters (except Snake) were voted on by fans. So the logic does hold as far as that goes. Nintendo's picks are obscure as hell because they remember back when they were developing 8-bit games that ruled.

I'm glad Sonic's in the new Smash Bros, but at the same time hope his spin dash won't control as bad as Sonic the Hedgehog on PS3 and 360 and cause everyone to fall off the edge of the stage.

Who the hell is Bonk? You Bonkers the clown in Clayfighter? Or the bobcat in the tv show??

also for asecond I thought you meant Bugsy which was really weird because I didn't think anybody remembered those Bugsy games anymore.

were somewhat fun for a platformer, though
