Plus, she's in TF and I would guess she got a lot of votes for the ballot.
I don't think Krystal was dropped because she was a Rare character, considering Nintendo allowed Namco and Q-Games to use her after Rare left. I guess they didn't feel like finding a way to add her to their subsequent 64 remake and reboot.
I want to see the Moon assist trophy on the Midgar Stage.
It'll probably still be the Moon, but it would be neat in just that instance it would actually look like Meteor falling on the city.

I don't think so. The Kremlings did appear in sports spinoffs, and it's not like DK had a set developer until Retro decided to revive the series.
This narrative people like to push where Miyamoto has some vendetta against DK and actively prevented them from appearing in games doesn't sit right with me.
I'm pretty sure it was Hiroshi Yamaguchi being his usual asshole self that allowed Rare to get sold off the Microsoft.
I think that's reference to his corcscrew move in Wario World, since his throws also come from the game.
As DrArchon pointed out in another thread, it sometimes feels like Nintendo/Miyamoto don't really seem to value the characters they own, but uh, didn't actually make.
I imagine any time someone asks Miyamoto or whoever about putting Waluigi in a Mario game, he'll just reply with "do we really need to?" as he did when Tanabe asked him about bringing K. Rool back for DKC Returns. It's quite telling that at some point, Nintendo was seemingly trying to purge all Rare elements from DK with Jungle Beat, with Koizumi claiming that all the old characters besides DK and "the banana" weren't fit or "fresh enough" for today's gaming climate. After JB not exactly taking off (though it was a great game in its own right), they've been kind of slowly (almost begrudgingly) bringing back the elements that people liked about the series, like Diddy, Cranky, Dixie, Funky, Rambi, Squawks, and now K. Rool and the Kremlings.

Yeah. It was said by someone with no actual facts and people started believing it.
Amazing! If this is true this is exactly what I've been saying would happen since the stupid ballot started.
Hey guys, I finished my amiibo case cover, so excited for ultimate!
Over a month+ of work, finally finished!
Amazing!
This interview is from 2010 and revolves around DKCR.

Good point
Now where the shit is my PILEDRIVER
"Have a rotten day"
That was a good read and to see Miyamoto addresses it. I love the part where North America wanted DK.
I would love an interview with Nintendo asking them how much have they brought back due to North Americans or westerners in general asking for it.
The part with Retro wanting to do DK and he thought they would've want to do something realistic speaks to Retro and is hilarious.
That'd be a stretch when Wario himself appearing in Mario 64 DS was very unusual.
I agree, this is the sentiment I get with them slowly adding back characters to the Country series. Namco and Paon embraced the old cast almost immediately, but for Nintendo it is a rare sight to even see Diddy show up.
Captain Toad got done dirty. He could've had a cool design based on him not jumping, and he'd shown up in plenty of Mario games before captain Toad treasure tracker.
I guess the focus on long-requested nostalgic characters makes sense, given they're ignoring everything on the Wii u not named splatoon. It's a shame, but more people will enjoy a nostalgia bait festa than a homage to the Wii u era.

Some of this has to do with Japanese origin characters vs western origin characters I'm sure
Before and after Jungle Beat, they were actually still pushing other Donkey Kong characters, even in Mario spin-offs. See Donkey Konga, Barrel Blast and Mario Kart Wii. Jungle Beat really was a standalone exception. But then years later we suddenly got an actual push back against those characters, with the DK characters removed from Mario spin offs for a while, alongside "avoid characters who aren't from the Mario universe" in RPGs which led to them lacking original villains and overusing using generic npcs.
I think he may have a shot for DLC, simply because he's just in the background of a stage and not an Assist trophy. If nothing else he's the next in line for a Mario rep, he would be chosen before Waluigi or even Paper Mario.
But Diddy has been in pretty much every DKC game. I don't think it's a matter of actively keeping Rate characters out of their games. For a long time Nintendo just didn't know what they wanted to do with DK.
Let's not forget Nintendo took out Diddy Kong from Mario Kart 8. Nobody is bringing that up. Even in the Deluxe version they didn't bring him back. I thought "ok maybe they're making a new Diddy Kong Racing", but there's no rumor in sight for that.
Anyways, I'll leave the whole Nintendo has some bias against their western developed characters alone.

Tell us more of your secrets, mysterious stranger. Also welcome to ERA.
This would actually be sick. Ryota or Akari would be super cool.
So how on earth did it take until Smash Ultimate to get Lower Norfair/Magmoor into Smash?
It's basically the de-facto lava song for Metroid, and there's an entire lava level...
I think it's the only Samus Returns song in Ultimate, as well?

That's so cool! I wanted to talk about Wave Race in Smash (and their other sports franchises), but I keep forgetting.
Do you know anything else?
I'm really disappointed Captain Toad won't be in too, although I feel like there was at least a sizeable interest for him and regular Toad given the change to Peach's moveset. Here's hoping he's DLC since replacing a stage background should be simple.
If I'm remembering early 2000s gaming magazines correctly, there was no shortage of backlash to Rare's characters like Elvis or Candy Kong or Krystal. I could see NoJ thinking the backlash to those characters was indicative of people's thoughts on most of Rare's original characters.
Excepy Diddy and Cranky Kong apparently.
Same. We need more Nintendo sports games represented in Smash. We never talk about 1080 or Wave Race.
Pour one out for Funk man.
Tell us your secrets, stranger. We don't like being teased around these parts.
