Pic of the day. We didn't introduce ALL of the Assist Trophies in the Smash Bros. Direct. Here's Dillon from Dillon's Rolling Western!! He may rival Sonic in the art of rolling.

Pic of the day. This is his trophy. He may be an animal, and his buckles are definitely on the adorable side, but there's no denying he looks cool!! His Assist Trophy can even do things like a quick charge.

(Lock if unnecessary, etc. Some people were hoping he'd be playable, so.... yeah)

That must be an indie dev's dream.

Nintendo sharing that love. Good job.

Wait a tingle. Nevermind.

WrenchNinja · May 2, 2014

It's that one dude from the streetpass puzzle

I should probably get around to playing his game. Though tower defense sort of turns me off.

It's good that Sakurai is including more recent characters from smaller games

Here's hoping Mallow shows up!

Not all eshop games are indie lol
This guy's a Nintendo character.

Pappasman · May 2, 2014

Im not one for character speculation, but dillon would have made a freakin awesome addition to the roster.

Boss Doggie · May 2, 2014

I am both angry, sad, and happy.

Maybe I should put this face.

I could've sworn this one was.

Darn it.

Unicorn · May 2, 2014

Looks really good. I also thought he was 2nd or 3rd party character, so I got kind of hype lol.

Amazeballs · May 2, 2014

Seems like Sakurai's broken some hearts. What's so great about Dillion? Well, aside from looking like one of the Skylanders, I mean.

Richie · May 2, 2014

I really hope Nintendo does more with this franchise, have you looked at the designs?

They're -made- for Smash movesets. I'd buy a fighting Dillon's game in a heartbeat.

Among the eShop game characters, he's the only one who is "fully conceived".

John Harker · May 2, 2014

Which one is worth checking out, the first or 2nd game?

I for one like the design/inclusion, didn't see that comin.

Spring-Loaded · May 2, 2014

based on the design alone, he should'be been playable.

Wii Fit Trainer is a playable character with a completely different alt skin. Let that sink in

HUELEN10 · May 2, 2014

Holy shit, frist time in a while I've been so impressed with Smash shots. Way to go Dillon!

Wow those are some pretty cool designs. I never played the game because people told me it's not lefty-friendly, but I guess I managed Kid Icarus alright, so it might be doable...

Instro · May 2, 2014

Nice model.

People were wanting his as a playable character, sakurai basically deconfirms this

Now the only thing Dillon needs is a good game

He has 2.

Benzychenz · May 2, 2014

Dillon's clearly as assist trophy because they wanted to make the (superior) squid guy playable instead.

SatoAilDarko · May 2, 2014

I wonder if this decreases or increases Mallo's chances of being an assist trophy too. Speaking of which I still have to finish Crashmo.

L Thammy · May 2, 2014

With Sonic as the game's resident roller, this makes sense. This and Ashley show that Sakurai is trying to please the fans at any rate.

I think the game would be pretty annoying to play with your left hand. You roll by sliding along the touch screen. Since your walking speed is ass, you have to roll constantly. Even though I'm right-handed for video games, I feel like the game would have been more comfortable with a second stick.

(Speaking based on the first game.)

SteveWinwood · May 2, 2014

is there a harmanoknight assist trophy yet

Dark Octave · May 2, 2014

There's always DLC.

Not a lefty myself, but the sequel has a lefty mode IIRC so you may feel more at home then!

SteveWinwood said:

Considering that Game Freak's last non-Pokémon endeavor, Drill Drozer, was featured in Brawl, I think there's a good chance of this happening.

Blues1990 · May 2, 2014

I'm really happy that Sakurai & his team are including characters from more recent Nintendo I.P.'s in some capacity, and Dillon is a fine addition in every respect. It makes me wonder if there's going to be a character that will represent the Nintendo GBA, DS, & 3DS, though.

mullet2000 · May 2, 2014

Finally, Dillon can be a character (how ever small of one) in a good game.

His design is too good to be wasted on the two Rolling Western games.

I thought Dillon was gonna be Sonic's replacement until the latter was revealed.

His SSB model looks great.

I'm pretty sure that's what the Pokemon are for.

If you remember the Pokeballs from Smash 64/Melee, it's kind of like that but for other franchises.

Mr Touchdown · May 2, 2014

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Wanted him as playable :/

Aostia · May 2, 2014

Dillon, you are welcome!

CO_Andy · May 2, 2014

Sonic's character model doesn't look quite as detailed as Dillon :/

Nintendy should just make him an alt for Sonic, like Falco to Fox or Ganondorf to Falcon.

Stoof · May 2, 2014

His model looks really good, makes me wish he was playable. ;_;

Salsa · May 2, 2014

dude dillon's design is so good

the games are good but not great. I hope they still push him and nail it with a really good game so becomes a household name. The design is too gooooooood

Byronic Hero · May 2, 2014

Cool. I was hoping he'd make an appearance of some sort.

Yeah, I love his model. Makes me want to see him get his own Wii U game.

There's anyways a valid excuse for Commando quotes.
