It's really sad that Infinite isn't allowed in these Sonic spin-offs, yet the Deadly Six (well.. Deadly Two, since it's just Zavok and Zazz) are still here.
I've legit seen more love for Mephiles then I have ever seen for the Deadly Six.

I'm honestly hoping Infinite gets a second chance because I find his try hard edgyness amusing. At the very least let the comic writers use him.

Someone at Sega must really like Bowser Zavok. He got to have a boss battle in Forces (while Shadow and Chaos got totally shafted in that regard), and then got included in Team Sonic Racing over... a lot of characters that fans would've preferred.

Infinite being so overly edgy is hilarious, and I need him in spin-offs effective immediately (with his theme accompanying him, of course).

Infinite in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games would be super funny. I don't understand Sonic Team's love for Zavok.

Gigantamax Meowth is so special that they are the obligatory "early Mystery Gift available around launch" Pokemon for Sword and Shield.

They're clearly going to be in Smash; it's obvious.

Gigantamax Eevee is just silly enough to be her final Smash when she finally gets added. I'm kind of shocked we havn't seen a Gigantamax Jigglypuff.

Seems like basically everyone is confirming Hayabusa as Fighter 5 now, which is about the same as others getting teased/leaked in the month before reveal.

"Hayabusa is absolutely 100% going to be the fifth character"

I sleep

"Oh and Geno could be in I guess"

Hayabusa does not seem like a game awards reveal to me. If it were Dante, I could see it, but Hayabusa? I'm more confident than ever we're seeing Fighter 5's reveal during Terry's overview video in November. (November 7 to be exact!)

This of course means the first post fighters pass character is getting revealed at the Game Awards. And we all know who that'll be!

And then it turned out Hayabusa is the Metroid Prime Trilogy for Switch of Smash fighters…

I don't want to see a single damn Gen 1 pokemon come near this roster.

I appreciate the enthusiasm but I really don't think Travis Touchdown is that big a pull.

Well, the very first Hayabusa rumor released a long time ago was about a new Ninja Gaiden game too, TGA would be a good place...

(I know, it's not happening and that rumor was bs)

Just FYI re: overwatch

They had it on their front page on Nintendo.com when the game came out in the carousel. So keep that in mind.

Edit: still there actually

A 'Ladies of Nintendo' season would be neat.
Twili Midna / Twintelle / Edelgard / Elma / fem Howard or Dixie

The best we can hope for is for one or two female characters in the next season pass (presumably if there is one).

I'll take Jill, 2B, Arle or hell, Joanna Dark.

A Nintendo character pass with a bonus indie character (and also they happen to all be women):

Edelgard
Dixie
Twintelle/Min Min
Elma
Shantae

I'm just saying. If we're bringing up examples of Nintendo trying to distance themselves, that should be brought up.
As long as the game can be bought, they have to give a portal to purchase. That doesn't mean Nintendo is obligated to market the game for the publisher.

What they've done with Overwatch is say "We'll offer it, but we're no longer going to push or shout about it."

... It's the home page of their website. Which has their press releases and marketing information.

How does that not count as marketing?

FYI: Witcher 3 got promoted there too, but on the smaller bar. It did not get the same placement as Overwatch.

I hope you guys are ready for Meowth to finally take his rightful place in Smash Ultimate as a playable character. Sword and Shield just showed his gigantamax final smash.

I think the chances of Crash/Tracer from here on out hinge on timing now more than anything. If they started work on them before the controversy hit, I don't think they'd stop development just because of the issue. If they were in talks about it and the controversy came up, then I could see them backing away from the table and them not making it. If they go to them later once the controversy dies down, then I think they're ok again.

For Crash's sake I hope they either started development on him already or are waiting until the controversy resolves to add him. Otherwise things aren't looking great for him.
