I was more thinking of the religious imagery present in Castlevania. Nintendo was really strict about not wanting religious imagery in their games at the time. It was very different from the Nintendo of today where they proudly advertise Shin Megami Tensei games.
Ah this is a great idea. I could imagine Down B being an "Accept Boon" button ala Shulk's Arts. Maybe after dealing a certain amount of damage you get to choose from 2-3 boons.
I'd rather have the originals over the arrangements. Just look at what happened for Theme of Solid Snake and Wii Sports Title Screen, those got new remixes in Ultimate so they removed the rips that were in previous Smash games.
I get yah, it was just another "how'd that get past the censors' moment I could think of.
The subweapons were renamed so that they wouldn't be considered religious iconography. The Cross became the Boomerang and the Holy Water became the Fire Bomb.
I got Yakuza: Like a Dragon and the Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch for Christmas. The really amusing thing is that somehow, despite apparently being a Wal-Mart order, it's the Japanese G&W, so the packing is in Japanese, has the Japanese CERO rating, and Super Mario Bros. 2 instead of The Lost Levels.
The more i think about it, if we get MH in the game - i would Monster Hunter's Wirebug to be a directional Up-B like Sephiroth in that you can alter the direction of the wirebug signifcantly to the point you can use it horziontally.
Speaking of religion, we have to remember Christmas is not just about Father Christmas, the presents and bad festive movies, but remembering that it's also someone's birthday. No, not Yukiho Hagiwara's; that was yesterday. I'm talking about the Lord's of course. Haruka remembered. Did your favourite Smash hopeful?
The white and red color is a better Christmas color (and a better Fire color too, if you ask me.)
I don't get it, it's because there are no DMC featuring Nero on the switch?
I think that Capcom risks backlash if they push for Nero.. and Dante is the most iconic character anyway. We'll see.
They obviously put in Joker because of his role in Persona Q2.
It's bad because most of the music is just theme songs with very little in the way of stage music, and with two Green Hill-esque stages, you would think they would put it some more Green Hill-esque themes like Palmtree Panic, Emerald Coast, anything from Sonic Advance, etc. It's just really lacking in stage music. I like the theme songs, but they're massively overplayed, and that's all anyone ever thinks about when it comes to Sonic music discussion. Case in point, the examples you listed are the theme songs which were the first tracks that came to mind.
I'm looking forward to starting it! It's going to be fun playing a Yakuza with RPG combat.
That's why the songs are so popular though, because they're good.
Correct, though DMC4:SE on Switch is more of a when than an if at this point.
I don't think anyone is arguing that Sonic's music selection is bad by itself.
There should just be more.
But it's frustrating when there's so much more variety spanning multiple genres that all anyone ever thinks about is the main themes.

Hades is so good. I literally played it for 8 hours yesterday when I was only intending to for like 2. I'm garbage at it, haven't beaten Hades even though I'm on my 23rd run.
That being said, Zag in Smash would be cool but I know it would absolutely never happen especially right now.

Yeah while Zag would be great he just doesn't make much sense as a potential indie rep given the timeframes and everything
I don't think that Nintendo chooses characters if they appear on their console or not though.. I mean, obviously the majority yes, but look at Joker, mainly a Playstation character, or even Snake.. heck, Master Chief is rumoured to be featured in the pass, and Halo's never going to show on Nintendo consoles.
They just picks character for three factors: Marketing for their future or current games, nostalgia, shock value/popularity. That's why people expect to see everyone, lol
Though they've all at least appeared on a Nintendo system at least once. Granted, it's more of a courtesy than an outright rule. But they've yet to stray from it, even if the likes of Joker stretched it to the limit.
As for Master Chief, I don't recall any credible rumors pointing towards his inclusion. I'm pretty sure we would have discussed it if there were any.
If you believe "Console Wars", Castlevania 1 used a completely uncensored and possibly even punched up localization proposal, "Dracula's Satanic Castle", to soften Nintendo up.
They dehumanized Jessie and James for years.
That running joke was overdone 15 years ago and they are still around getting beaten in every episode.
Video games have a distinct lack of metal, so I'll take it whenever I can =D F-Zero and Sonic pretty much doing all the lifting there for Smash.
The Detective Pikachu movie had a Ditto straight up try to murder the main character.
Not trying to take anything away. The Sonic main themes are iconic and have earned their fame. They're great songs. I just want more variety in its Smash representation because there is so much it could have. Sonic music isn't tied to one or two genres. It's not just vocal tracks. It has so much more, and anyone who was unfamiliar with Sonic music before Smash would have a bigger pool of songs to judge from instead of thinking that that's all Sonic can offer.
I think it might have been a policy at some specific point (in the Best Wishes anime there was an episode where it was directly stated Pokemon would never attack humans, even though that contradicts a lot of stuff from the anime itself), but they dropped it. XY came right afterwards and had some episodes where wild Pokemon attacked people and everyone acted like it was natural.

One of the very first scenes in the Detective Pikachu movie had the protagonist run for his life from a pissed off Cubone.
Weird, it also directly contradicts Black and White 2. Considering
Kyurem was about to attack the MC.
I'm surprised that TPCi signed off on all that.
To be fair, Kyurem was being controlled by Ghetis who was completely done with your shit at this point.
Same, and I own a copy. I need a copy of the Sonic movie too so I can also put that off indefinitely.
I know Japanese players consider her to be really good, but I thought the West didn't catch on yet. That said, most seem to agree that she's at least solid.
Yeah, it specifically comes up in the anime in a story where Team Plasma is making some experiment with EM waves that make Pokemon more aggressive, so Ash's group stumbles on some pretty aggressive Amoonguss. They beat them with their own Pokemon, but the oddity is that the characters then start talking about how something is wrong because Pokemon aren't suppose to attack humans and even take them to the Pokecenter for treatment. This leads them to discovering the Team Plasma plot. So, the basis of the whole story is that there must be something wrong if wild Pokemon are attacking humans, which really felt off.
