Klonoa 2 is so goddamn good, I replayed it last year and it still holds up. The Wii one is good, but both the original and the sequel are better.
If we get Klonoa then glorious Sakurai deserves canonization.
Another good bet is ULTIMATE FAP MATERIAL Ryza.
No hate.
I also never played any Atelier games before but I had tons of fun with Ryza. My biggest reason is its gameplay loop, Exploring and getting materials to craft items for battle then craft tools to gather new materials and even later on craft tool that lets you explore new places that gets new material to craft even new items and weapons for battle.Also I've never played an Atelier game. I should give one a shot someday. Ryza made a lot of noise relative to previous entries in the series.
I’ll have to check it out. Not sure if I’ll grab it on PS4 or Switch. My backlog keeps getting longer and longer.I also never played any Atelier games before but I had tons of fun with Ryza.

While having nice summer vibe with really charming and relaxing story.
Minecraft makes sense, but it doesn't make Steve any less of a horrible looking character.Minecraft makes sense. It might not be my first choice, but I get it.
The important thing to me, is there going to be a Minecraft Amiibo?
The good news is now -Arcadia- has to go on a date with you. You're welcome.
Here is how I would slice it:
Minecraft is an absolutely a monumental video game and has left a huge impact on the industry. Minecraft/Steve however is not an iconic character. Frankly none of the characters in Minecraft are iconic. They are hardly characters at all; in game mechanics more than celebrated characters.
Contrast that with Sonic, Captain Falcon, Terry, Game & Watch, Pac Man, Simon, Mega Man etc where the characters themselves have risen above the games. In a lot of ways these characters are more exciting than the games they are in. There is some personality there even if it is just communicated through the art. With Steve/Alex there isn't a ton of personality-they are blanks slates to slap skins on; the personality is your own and the way you interact with the world. The closest comparison I would make would be Animal Crossing Villager-another customizable character. The difference between the two is that the villager is very emotive with facial expressions while performing tasks, reactions to events in game, and interactions w/ NPCs whereas Steve/Alex are seemingly emotionless.
Minecraft is an exciting game but Steve/Minecraft is not an exciting character. I think the prospect of "Minecraft in Smash" is exciting for a lot of people but would be better served as a stage w/ assist trophies rather than a character.
Oh well, it is what it is...
Look at them less as characters, and more as symbols of years of creativity, fun, and amazing times. Touchstones for a ton of wonderful memories.
Likewise, the mechanics, as a fan, look completely faithful, hilarious for Smash, and fun. A simple stage or trophy wouldn't have had near this effect.
I might be the only one in here, but this might be right behind 3D All-Stars for best gaming news of the year. I had to try very hard not to cheer at work, for each added character, and awesome moment in the trailer. Lol.
I certainly understand that. I have a few copies of Minecraft across different systems. I enjoyed my time with the game and think that the creativity that it affords is incredible. Huge for the younger generation too, no doubt.Look at them less as characters, and more as symbols of years of creativity, fun, and amazing times. Touchstones for a ton of wonderful memories.

Honestly, I feel we were due for a 'weird' character as well.
This is the series that unironically rocks Mr. Game and Watch, R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and others, pulling on that weirdness to create hilarious movesets and characters that are totally fun, just because of how dissonant they are.

I truly believe Jonesy will be in this pack as well.
Eh, while I understand Nintendo wanting to add Minecraft for corporate synergy and player demographic reasons, I don't think it's as important as others do. At the end of the day, how many people are going to buy Smash for Minecraft Steve? I glad Minecraft is added, for the people that like it, but I can't imagine it being a "big deal."
My kids love Minecraft, so I'll get to see first-hand if this makes them want to play Smash.I think you would be surprised at the power of kids wanting to play Minecraft and seeing this guy in smash now.

Another one that wouldn't interest me. No hate for the game but no interest in the character. I'm still a couple years away from my 30s so I'm not too far removed from the Minecraft and Fortnite generation (and still probably younger than most of GAF lol). That is to say I recognize how big the games are but I imagine the attachment to those games is more around the experiences had with friends rather than the characters themselves.This. I'd be shocked if something like that didn't make it in, as that's the other half of the zoomer equivalent of Mario and Sonic, and has become way too much of an institution over the last three years to ignore.
Gaf will blow up that day, lol.
Rogue Company is now free on switch. Everyone should give it a try it’s surprisingly good.

I don’t believe soDoes it require Nintendo's worthless online sub to use?
Interestingly, what has been missed in all of this is that Nintendo has introduced a black character after all of the clamoring for one last time.
I genuinely thought you were joking about Enderman. My bad.
Nevermind. I'm out of touch.
Your zoomer is showing.Touchstones, though. It's tough to lock down a character from a game that makes it's money solely through optional cosmetics, but all the same, I think people would just love to take a Fortnite character into battle in Smash, with all the unique moves snd such. I would imagine they would pack multiple characters into one, as here.
The level could be outright amazing, though. Imagine zooming through both of Fortnite's massive worlds, fighting on the bus, like how some existing levels work, skydiving down and fighting in the air, and landing in each location briefly, before repeat. I'm sure they'd add in all the insane storyline events that have happened as well, which have consistently been some of the most jaw-dropping crazy scale things in gaming.
Who is even left that’s not in the game, lol?
I feel like we could be due for a big third party character. Maybe something from Microsoft with Halo and Minecraft? Either of those would be so much fun.
Btw, what do I win?
