I feel like "it's a weird situation" would disqualify someone like Phoenix.
Yeah, he's known for being on Nintendo systems, but those games are still 100% done by Capcom and frequently appear on other systems now. That's not particularly weird, that's just a 3rd party series with a preference for Nintendo systems.
In fairness, the "it's a weird situation" thing might just be Zippo's personal interpretation based on being told something vague like that it's "kinda sorta first-party, but not really," since he's evidently hearing this from other people more in-the-know.
Frankly, we just don't have enough of a set of criteria to narrow things down very much.
True enough, though again in the case of Phoenix I'm not sure anyone would legit think those games are "kinda sorta first party." Again, it's just Capcom here. Everyone should know that.
But you're right. We just don't know enough.
tbf, no more heroes has appeared on other systems before, but nintendo is a bit more hands-on with it compared to AA
Honestly there are no characters who I could legitimately see someone describe as "sort of first-party" unless they were trying to be deliberately obtuse. Not even Geno.
Geno's probably the closest just because yeah Square Enix owns him but they can't do anything with Nintendo seeing as he's a Mario character. At that point, the distinctions that consumers care about break down.
Wouldn't 'Sort-of First Party' cover series like:
They're all developed by non-internal Nintendo devs but remain bound to Nintendo systems.
- Fire Emblem
- Pokemon
- Advance Wars
- Professor Layton
- Chibi Robo
They're all developed by non-internal Nintendo devs but remain bound to Nintendo systems.
Honestly, Zippo's comments were vague enough that I'm not going to rule anyone out specifically. I'd rather just wait and see and not wring my hands endlessly trying to interpret information that was incomplete by his own admission.
Also, I just want to give him a damn break.

Actually I think Square Enix can use Geno. They just don't care to.
I can't imagine why.
Also Geno's talked about enough that I bet any decent source would just say it's Geno. Not to mention Square Enix being as leaky as they are.
Yeah, pretty much the only characters I'm ruling out (and even then, not definitively) are characters who are very obviously completely separate from Nintendo. Characters like Dante, for example, who predominately exist in a multiplatform capacity, or characters closely linked to other publishers, like Sony. Beyond that? Eh, no clue, and it's probably better that way.
Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Advance Wars, and Chibi Robo aren't "kinda sorta" first party.
No offense to Zippo, but this is why I can't take whatever their source is saying seriously. Being willing to hard deconfirm a character without just coming out and saying who the character actually is is fishy to me.
To humor this whole rigamaroll though, my guess (based on my own bias) that fits the "clues" would be Shantae or Geno. Travis also kind of fits oddly enough. I'm completely neutral on Travis as I've never played a NMH game, but if he happens I'm sure he'll be fun.
i wish i were still a mod so i could delete this post and ban you
This, we'd be no better than SmashBoards if we endlessly try to piece together what Zippo said when they specifically said not to read too much into it. Let's just wait for Thursday.
If enough of us report it, maybe the mods will just assume it's something banworthy and do it anyway.
At the same time, we're not exactly going to abandon this thread and go full radio silence until Thursday, and there aren't a whole lot of other breadcrumbs at the moment, since Nintendo seems to have done a good job patching their leaks this go-around. Discussing it is cool as long as we all keep in mind that this is all very, very tentative.
i.e. No one be a piece of shit and call out Zippo if none of this pans out.
he's been pretty up front and honest about her saying maybe down the line. I'm not sure what I should believe anymore. I just know that KOS-MOS's XB2 version could fit that description. Best not to get hopes up though honestly. It's probably Euden or some shit.
I said I'm not ruling anyone out. At least not within reason (Goku still ain't happening).
As far as my mind is concerned, Zippo didn't say anything.
maybe you didn't hear the good news
it's time
I'd tell you the evidence points to you being wrong, and that you should give up on the Heart of the Cards, but I'm pretty sure that's how every Yu-Gi-Oh villain lost.
"I surveyed the employees of Bandai Namco to ask who they wanted to see in Smash from their company, to represent the hard work they've put into working on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. To my surprise, Chibi-Robo was the character that won out in our internal ballot, and getting the approval of Bandai and Nintendo was very simple!"
I guess the longer video could be explained by having to explain the various styles that Dante can use...
probably happening I guess :S
probably happening I guess :S
I really like the idea that, of all the characters Bandai works with - and they work with a fuck of a lot - Chibi-Robo is somehow their favorite of all time.
As he should be.
Eh, he's probably just going to play through an entire Classic mode again.
