Oh no, the rest of the pass is Erdrick, Porky, Lightning and something from The Last Story
The Last Story is a Nintendo IP, though. As is EarthBound.
Like you said, they were mostly veterans. The genre can't be helped there. Each of the DLC guest characters came from vastly different games. Smash 4 also didn't have a Fighters Pass that you could blindly purchase at launch.
They do, but when you throw Tales into the mix they start bleeding together and overpowering the aesthetic of the Fighters Pass, which would thematically start to feel like a JRPG pass at that point. Persona, Dragon Quest, Tales, and two other characters just isn't my idea of variety.
...yes? And EarthBound and FF are old to Smash while TLS is new. This means that Fighters Pass is the most diverse of JRPG character season passes, covering all 4 possible genres of JRPG.
I guess I misread your comment replying to another comment about third-party JRPG characters.
What if Brave or one of the DLC characters is another Square character?
I agree, that's starting to cater hard to one specific type of fan. It seems like they want to branch out more than that.
It was! Or rather, it isn't now to a huge extent.
Master Chief being announced would shut up all talk of Banjo.
I guess. It would be one hell of a pov shift, at any rate (Halo doesn't seem to be known in Japan much more than anything else), and someone always pushes beyond logic.
No, I think "Brave" is Erdrick -- I'm just saying it's possible he's not the next reveal.
If anything all it would do is amplify the requests for Banjo if we get a Microsoft rep anyway. If you want to have people shut up about Banjo you put in Banjo or say that Western characters/Microsoft characters won't ever be in Smash
I hope that's not the case, namely because I want to get past the Erdrick talk & move forward.
Master Chief getting in as DLC would mean Banjo not getting in. Nintendo would not give Microsoft more than one DLC rep.
The same game that's given multiple companies multiple reps won't give another company that has many popular characters multiple reps? There's nothing that says Microsoft would only have one and even then the precedent of them having one character is still going to have people still ask for them when there's already an established partnership. Especially between Microsoft and Nintendo considering they've only gotten more cooperative over time they're not gonna one and done Microsoft
Wouldn't it do the opposite since it would break the barrier of the "rival company" shtick?
I was just talking about in general. I'm not saying Microsoft is going to get two reps in the Pass but really all you'd be doing is delaying Banjo by not putting him them and another Microsoft character instead.
No, because there's no way that more than one Microsoft rep is getting into a single DLC pass, if any do.
I thought you meant Banjo fans would shut up for good or something. (cause the fervor for a second fighter's pass/Smash 6 would go through the roof and dominate all discussion)
I do.
Banjo isn't a lost Nintendo character. Nintendo explicitly gave Rare Banjo's IP rights when they separated. it's been nearly two decades since then and he's a Microsoft/Xbox character at this point, regardless of Nuts & Bolts and the dormancy of the IP.
