Wait, just Curious Village port? I wish that it would be first trilogy port. So I could buy all of them for my collection.

I honestly forgot that the Curious Village port isn't announced yet.
Anyway the two other main things I took away at least from that excerpt is we can hopefully drop the "Sakurai picked the characters" theorycrafting if he's still insisting on it well after Atlus and Square commented on their inclusions (wonder whether they put the onus of negotiating the character on him which is where the "realizable" element may play a part), and that Nintendo has some pretty good taste when it comes to picks. So if they're still tailoring the next DLC selection?
Yeah, just Curious Village. I'd guess it's based on the phone version, so no trilogy makes some sense (since the phone version of Diabolical Box wasn't out when CV leaked/got ported and Unwound Future still isn't on phones.)
Japanese people are really into Garou lol
So you're telling me Kiryu and Sol have a chance

Okay. That make sense. I guess I could pick all of them when they're on sales.
If you're talking about all of the people saying "Garou"; it's part of Fatal Fury's Japanese name (I don't think they're specifically talking about Mark of the Wolves).
Ah! That explains it! I thought it was super weird everyone kept saying Garou and not KoF or anything.
So is this another case of Sakurai down-playing his involvement in the selection process? Then again, I'm not sure if we'll get another statement from Doug Bowser on Smash DLC.
Some of the debate also came from what Reggie said.Anyway the two other main things I took away at least from that excerpt is we can hopefully drop the "Sakurai picked the characters" theorycrafting if he's still insisting on it well after Atlus and Square commented on their inclusions (wonder whether they put the onus of negotiating the character on him which is where the "realizable" element may play a part), and that Nintendo has some pretty good taste when it comes to picks.

Reggie saying Sakurai wants unique picks doesn't preclude Nintendo making those picks.
So more third parties look like a go? Still fine either way. Nintendo still has to collab with square for Geno, so that doesn't deconfirm anything.
Or collab is just referring to different game series in general, in which 1st parties are still viable. Who knows.

Characters with one game in their series added to Smash:
Ice Climbers
Duck Hunt
Shulk*
This is why Astral Chain feels like an unlikely pull to me at this point even if we get first-party DLC.

Sakurai likes games that are popular, good, and relevant. Nothing new there.
Likely all factors Nintendo consider for what they want in Smash as well.
I wonder if we'll hit third party saturation where the novelty of "oh my god, this character can fight this character" will wear off
I'm already sorta there, to be honest.

Remember a quote from Nintendo President
So that's probably why they want to draw another franchises' fans to become more familiar with Nintendo franchises or games. SO MORE THIRD PARTY!
That's probably what Nintendo are doing right now and allows Sakurai to pick certain characters as he deemed it to fitting in Smash Bros Universe.

I feel like we just started to dip ours toes into it by time Smash 4 & 5. Ultimate we are now just soaking it in.
But I don't think it will ever die really.
.....now i am thinking of the possibility of Saber being in Smash
OP

Maybe for you, but nope for me and some friends I know. Some of them become more interested in Smash Bros when they realized that we are going to get more third party characters via DLC so they were hoping to see the characters become realized in Smash Bros.
I mean, the novelty of "whoooahhh third party picks" already kind of wore off for me around the time they added Pac-Man and Ryu.
I wasn't super hyped about Hero being added, but that doesn't mean it was without its merits.
Doesn't mean they haven't continued to sweep me off my feet in multiple ways like Bayonetta, Banjo and Terry. All this has just done is open up the pool for a lot more possible deep cuts and fan requests.
I'll probably keep being okay with third party picks up until I finally get Travis.
And maybe Sol...
And maybe Viewtiful Joe....
and maybe Phoenix Wright....
and maybe Doomguy.....
and maybe Arle..
and maybe.......

So if the trend continues with new industry collaborations, I guess these are some options that could be picked.
Ryu Hayabusa - Koei Tecmo
Professor Layton / Jibanyan - Level 5
Sol Badguy - Arc System Works
Travis Touchdown - Grasshopper Manufacture
Sora - Disney
Crash Bandicoot - Activision
Tracer - Blizzard
Doomslayer - Bethesda / Id
Lara Croft - Eidos
Steve - Mojang
Geralt - CDPR
Ryu Hayabusa - Koei Tecmo

The novelty of third party picks will never wear off for me. Any time I see a match in Smash that's something like Joker vs. Cloud or Banjo vs. Sonic or Pac-Man vs. Hero or Ryu vs. Bayonetta or something to that effect, I generally think "Wow, this is actually something real that is happening in Super Smash Bros."
Well the wording suggests they want more collaborations.
But if they go for say, Astral Chain or Dragalia Lost, those are first party IPs created from collaborations with third party devs, so yeah it tracks.
This is just being cheeky. They'd be negotiating with the same publishers here. Activision twice, Square, MS.

Yup but hopefully new franchises only tho.
Well you could play basketball with Ganondorf tho.
Hey Wayforward does a lot of collaborations. I could see it.
OP

I'm counting Square and Enix separate with Cloud and Hero. :p
Honestly, the magic will never wear off for me. My consciousness formed in the midst of the SEGA/Nintendo console war so Sonic and Mario hanging out together is still really cool to me. Smash Bros is a miracle I'll always appreciate.
I think maybe it's because there aren't too many third party series left that I've played that aren't in Smash
Just like... the Elder Scrolls and Valve's games. The latter aren't getting in, so I'm just going to have to go along with the ride like I did for Smash 4 DLC.
OP

I think I'm more excited about it because I branched our into many franchises so it does feel like a special occasions for both franchises when they made the collaboration.
Even we just got 14th third party characters but I'm still excited about potential crossovers. Hopefully they would deliver.
