Just speculating here, but it could be tied to how the IP rights are written. So if the Mario RPG were split by Nintendo/SQ, maybe Nintendo could only use them in a limited sense (as a jpeg). It's the same scenario as the SMT x FE tsubaki spirit where the IP is split by Atlus/Nintendo as well.

From what we've heard, Cloud was particularly annoying and expensive to bring back for Ultimate
"the DS Chibi-Robo"
heh, that's what Japan wants us to think, hiding away the only proper sequel to the original and not letting us touch it (or the Wii port of the original)
Luckily fans have us covered with an English translation now.
To answer these pressing questions:
In Japan, Conker is just a random Diddy Kong Racing character. None of his solo games released over there.
All 7 people who owned an Xbox in Japan played it, I'm sureActually...that's not entirely true.
Bad Fur Day never came out in Japan, but Live and Reloaded did.

This is the best Namco rep possible. Nobody else comes close.The dream

Time to play Style Boutique/Savvy then to prepare for Shop Assistant as a rep in the next Smash.
I was reading his twitter account a few days back and he didn't seem that big of a Banjo fan. He has always been expecting Geno however.
It feels like one of those Smash gimmicks that sounds cool and looks cool in a trailer, but feels impractical in the game because it just seems awkward to have to stand still to pick specials since no opponent will ever let you do that
Well, I don't think the process has to be that painful. Especially if we assume that whatever spell is selected will be kept for the next time the player wants to quickly press the corresponding special. Given enough time, people will naturally memorize placement of the spells.
Chibi-Robo kinda already has some Animal Crossing in it, with the menial daily tasks and stuff, but the first game is honestly more of an adventure game than anything else. It's all about getting to know the family and the various toys and things that live in the house and dealing with their issues. It's a surprisingly heartfelt game and I don't think many people pick up on that by looking at it. I know I was shocked when I went into a silly little robot game that ended up dealing with death/suicide parallels, survivors guilt, divorce and drug addiction, among other things.
Even though that's the case, it still seems impractical for the player to pick which up special they want to use, when trying to recover. Even just standing there for a second causes you to lose height and also picking a spell seems like it's an easy time to edge guard Hero.
Yeah, the battery is sort of limiting at first, but it kind of gates your exploration and ties directly into the day/night mechanic, so it's kind of a necessary feature of the way that game is designed. I think it's an initial hurdle that people kind of build up in their mind "I don't want to be on a time limit" but that's not actually what it is. I totally get your point though.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the stress of time limits, but games like Majora and Chibi-Robo don't use them in that "you're gonna miss out" way that a game like, say Dead Rising does, which is why I can deal with them. I love the DR games, but the idea of "this person is gonna die if I don't save them in the next 5 minutes" has always raised my anxiety lol
Maybe it'll be some unique combination of inputs or something that allows you to quickly swap moves. We've seen characters like Ryu/Ken and Inkling get unique mechanics tied into standard inputs, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. More likely than not it'll be exactly the way we assume and be too clunky to be of use in normal situations though lol
I think they'd be so totally different than the standard swordy that people wouldn't care. Honestly, I think the sword fighter thing only comes into play when it's an FE character, who look similar and have derivitive movesets, or when it's a character people just don't want to like ie Hero.
