I understand they have their own icons. I just don't think Sakurai would really say "no sixth rep for Zelda, Mario only has five!" Given their origins. That is the context of the discussion.
Oh, no, I don't agree with that assessment either. There's no "series slots". Sakurai adds characters he wants to add. Case in point: Star Fox getting 3 characters, MOTHER getting 2 characters, etc.
Also, I never played Skyward Sword. I just watched the final fight, and Demise is a demon with a flaming head. I love that stuff!
A Dormammu main would say that.
Sheik is a Smash Bros. mascot like Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, and Falco at this point. That's really the only reason she will (and should) continue to appear in Smash.
I guess.
And man, if Midna can't make it in then Ghirahim has zero (zero) chance. She was just as common a request back in Brawl and comes from a much more popular game.
I disagree. Midna was a common request, yes, but the Brawl roster already had been set in stone by the time Twilight Princess was released. Plus, the triforce trio (and Sheik) got their Twilight Princess designs. I believe TP was represented well enough.
At this point, however, Skyward Sword is the most recent Zelda, and if a newcomer from Zelda were to be released, it would likely be somebody from Skyward Sword, or somebody who spans across the entire series (which at this point really only encompasses Impa and Tingle).
Those little quiz "games" are commonplace in Japanese variety shows. I think it's a huge leap to assume we're getting Metroid and Zelda newcomers because of that.
I didn't know Nintendo Directs are Japanese variety shows.
But that could also be redundant...
you should play the game
I haven't liked Zelda since it went 3D. I might only get the 3DS game, since that one reminds me a lot of A Link To The Past in terms of style and combat, if I do get one.
I did enjoy Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland though, for what it's worth. lol
