I hope a Rabbid is revealed as the next DLC fighter at e3.
Specifically Rabbid Luigi. Best character in that game.

Because you really have to factor in Mega Man far beyond those six NES games. He's had countless spin-off series (X, Battle Network, Legends, Star Force), multiple TV series, piles of merchandise... he's had a pretty major "down period" in the past 10 year or so, but compared to Banjo, his impact is so much bigger.
Banjo-Kazooie essentially had two big, big games, one divisive-at-best followup, and a handful of cameos. No cartoons or comics or multi-media blitz. No Banjo cereal. They probably got a plushie or two, maybe?
I never owned an NES, and didn't own any Mega Man games until... I think Battle Network on the GBA? But growing up in the 90s he felt ubiquitous to me. If you didn't buy either of the N64 games, how visible was Banjo-Kazooie, really?
Yeah, Banjo basically got robbed after the buyout. If that didn't happen I'd imagine Banjo would be one of the many Nintendo character still getting games.
Did you know? In the timeline where Nintendo bought all of Stamper brothers' Rare stock, they ended up overbetting on success of their Star Wars game and got bought out by Ubisoft, now in a console arms race with Microsoft and the DVD Forum, and if they didn't you can't prove that
The alternate universe would have had Banjo Kazooie be made by Retro, and Metroid Prime series never happening.
BK gets into Melee instead of Ice Climbers. Grunty makes Brawl instead of ZSS. Metroid forgotten as a series only ever gets Samus.
You make this alternate reality sound absolutely horrifying.
Remember when there was a full banjo game on the GBA
I nevber played it but skimming through a long play it seemed fairly involved and a reasonable approximation of the first 2 games's playstyle in an isometric perspective. I'm honestly surprised I don't hear more about it, even if it was maligned

This is where I stand myself. I just can't see more then one western character at most getting in.
Oh, god. Remember that time in one of the Smash threads when someone tried arguing this bit had to have been included as a developer's fetish fodder?
Sakurai is going to stan hard for Steve being the big Minecraft fanboy he is. Only the devilish Phil Spencer stands in his way with his silly Banjo.
And there's absolutely different criteria for DLC characters than ones included in the base game.
I got a copy of Grunty's Revenge and I say it's legitimately good and worth of being Banjo-Threeie, imo. Sadly that game (and Banjo-Piilot) was never released in Japan or considered canon in the events that follows in Nuts & Bolts :\
EDIT: for what it's worth, I remember seeing a Nico Nico video of a Japanese person playing Grunty's Revenge once.. translating the text reading for the viewers (I think). Not much, but at least there was the interest overseas to know more about that game
I honestly don't even remember. It came up with saying that samus was sexualized as much in the prime trilogy as in other m or something, he was going on about that throwing up part.
Aw that's a shame, I was wondering how they handled it.
Well that's a thing.
I don't even like the Prime games and I know that's bunk.
I can't remember. I'd recognize the avatar, but I haven't seen a post from them in months. It opened the door on a pretty wild conversation that went on for over a page until a moderator forced everyone back on topic (which was for the best).
Long story short, this person did not know how fetishes work or that even women are capable of having them. It was...very peculiar.
I found it somehow. This is the first post they made, and then it turned into a thing.

Microsoft is all about pushing Game Pass now. I think reviving Banjo would be another great way to do that. Especially if they can get the game to be on Mario Odyssey's level of quality, similar to how the original games were on Mario 64's quality.
I'll never get why Microsoft didn't try to push Banjo as their Mario. The series has Mario's charm but with a bit of edge because of the humor, would've works perfectly as an "older" alternative.
I've heard Perfect Dark's name floating around for a couple of years now, but has something more recent popped up?
That's a blast from the past. Cybersai hadn't even been banned yet.I found it somehow. This is the first post they made, and then it turned into a thing.

Banjo's not dead for good when Microsoft is handing Rare IP out to new developers. But it also could mean we wait another 10 years for someone to make it.
The difference between Mega Man and Banjo is that Capcom was devoted to supporting that IP while Rare wanted to leave their IP behind in favor of making new series.

Oh I remember, nothing like cracking door codes via simon and constant genre shifts of dubious quality.
Really though I'm still recovering from that post earlier of "Rare are bringing back PD" based on apparently nothing and no elaboration, WELL, I'M CONVINCED
Ultimate adding only 1 new Nintendo IP has me a bit concerned about the viability of those in new Smash games. Rhythm Heaven and ARMS are still around assuming they get sequels, but Pirahna Plant's presence has me wondering if we have seen retro series for the last time.
Probably classic Joanna.If Rare brings back Perfect Dark, would they use Perfect Dark 1 Joanna
or PD0 Joanna?
Definitely classic. The 0 one is almost too similar to zss. The first one is more unique.If Rare brings back Perfect Dark, would they use Perfect Dark 1 Joanna
or PD0 Joanna?
Isn't Perfect Dark Zero a prequel, thus Joanna being younger there? .. besides the classic design being nostalgic and preferred by many, wouldn't make much sense a younger Joanna unless they make.. another prequel.If Rare brings back Perfect Dark, would they use Perfect Dark 1 Joanna
or PD0 Joanna?
Second Fighter Pass, no new stages:
- Geno
- Kos-Mos (Home Stage Xenoblade franchise)
- Rabbid Peach (Home Stage Mario Franchise)
- Dixie Kong
- Chun-Li
Do you buy?
- Geno
- Kos-Mos (Home Stage Xenoblade franchise)
- Rabbid Peach (Home Stage Mario Franchise)
- Dixie Kong
- Chun-Li
Do you buy?
It has KOS-MOS, Chun-Li, and even Rabbid Peach, so yes, even if I have to bite the bullet on Geno.
Assuming that they all remain relevant going into the next Smash game, you have...
- ARMS
- Rhythm Heaven
- Dragalia Lost
- Astral Chain
- Labo
- This may not need to remain relevant since I could see Plaise Allatyme as a sort of Wii Fit Trainer-esque pick.

I'll buy every single fighter Smash ever makes because, even if I don't like them, I can fight against them and pretend I'm taking my anger on them for taking the place of more deserving characters
