Japan is the kind of country where Kirby Squeak Squad is the 206th highest selling game of all time.

I mean, we know it wasn't just the slip of the tounge (or else they wouldn't have published it in the written interview). "Oh yeah" is a pretty vauge response, which is why I find it interesting.

I wouldn't be surprised if more studios contact Nintendo about putting their characters in Smash than the reverse.

I'm not saying Nintendo actually adds any characters this way, mind.

Dovahkiin's Final Smash would be installing Skyrim onto the Switch.
Oh shit, Todd got us again.

Implying that Kirby games shouldn't be best-sellers in every country.

Squeak Squad? I haven't even heard of that one before.

Mouse Attack, a game that actually exists, was a decent installment though
but Super Star Ultra is the best DS Kirby game (and Kirby game in general) by far.

Not so fast.

Robobot is fantastic but Super Star Ultra wins out just for pure volume and variety of content.

Well, Kojima asked for Snake and someone from Sega did ask for Sonic. Then we know for Smash 4, Ubi asked for Rayman.

I actually think Smash comes up often with third parties and they got a lot of character requests from the actual companies.

King Boo is going to be a newcomer is Smash before Waluigi.

There's more material to work with the main villain of the Luigi's Mansion series than Rosalina.

This is really sad if true. Poor Rayman.

I always find it interesting when game journalists ask companies if they're going to get a character in Smash.

Honest question, would Vault Boy having a Nuke final smash be seen as insensitive in Japan?

iirc they did remove the questline where you can nuke a town in Fallout 3's JP version. May have removed or at least renamed the mini-nuke launcher as well. There's more than enough material to use for a final smash outside of just setting a nuke off though. Power Armor, Liberty Prime, several OP weapons, VATS... considering there's already a FS for just building someone a house, they could even be lock away other fighters in a vault.

I'll mostly go with Smash 4 and Ultimate (with only Sonic from Brawl), since the trailers have played a big part in making those reveals so hype:
  1. Banjo & Kazooie
  2. King K. Rool
  3. Sonic
  4. Ridley
  5. Joker
  6. Mega Man
  7. Bayonetta
  8. Cloud (would've been above Ridley if the announcement wasn't spoiled for me)
  9. Shulk
  10. Little Mac

I'd say it'd be insensitive regardless of where you are to downplay the horror of nukes. Even Fallout treats them with an actual degree of horror, with the cute animations basically being a satire of how stupid the pre-war civilization (and the real 1950's) were about their actual threat. It'd be real tone deaf to casually have them drop on Kirby.

Additionally, Ultimate is an E10-rated game - I feel like the ESRB would prooobably draw the line on weapons with the deployment of nuclear arms as a finishing move.

Might make a list later but I'd say to not overlook the Robin reveal trailer. It came at a time where Gematsu leak was gospel and it basically reinvigorated leak discussions for the end of the hype cycle for Smash 4, together with being a badass trailer in itself.

Japanese media uses mushroom clouds pretty often as a generic explosion, I don't think the association is too strong.

DBZ does it all the time:

Probably worth noting that part of nukes being censored in some Japanese versions of media is whether or not it's going off in a populated area. Final Destination or Battlefield might be considered fine but New Donk City would be a hard no.

The more I think about it after saying it on the last page the more I feel like locking characters in a vault may actually be the best possible scenario for a Vault Boy FS. Notably because it could also give the Smash version of the Vault Boy a distinct number, which would completely evade possible issues of whether to use Vault 13, 111, 101, 21, etc as the Vault Boy's number.

Sorry, that's actually a random mass of shapes and colours that is making your brain think it's seeing something you recognise due to an effect known as pareidolia.

Uh, don't you see the vague round shape at the bottom and the vague jagged lines at the top??? There is clearly no way that could be anything but Rayman.

Pfft. Next you'll be telling me there isn't a man on the moon.

Smash Bros. is a mass of glowing lights that makes us believe we're seeing character hyper wrestling, except for those who see an actual pure real picture of that happening made by a particle cannon foobaring the thingasurface.
