"I haven't talked to him," Fils-Aime said of Sakurai and his Tweets, "but I believe he was working hard to communicate two things: One, that the characters have been decided on. Second, that he is well in development on this, so please be patient. My interpretation is that there will be no fan polls, [and that] no independent poll trying to push Waluigi, as an example, will not influence the decisions that have already been made.

Hey, he brought Waluigi up, not me. I had to ask: "Do we know? Do you know if Waluigi is or isn't in the roster?"

"We're not here to discuss that at this point in time," Fils-Aime said. He reiterated that the plan is for post-release characters to be sold bundled with new stages and music after release but said there weren't plans for any other microtransactions for the game.

Reggie puts out a typical PR statement and y'all crumble.

The comment about not discussing Smash is funny though.

So just letting folks know now that when I play competitively or semi competitively I will occasionally venture outside the established norm and pick Reset Bomb Fortress, New Super Mario Bros U, Kongo Falls, Magicant and New Donk City all hazardless. Then with hazards I will occasionally pick Pilot Wings and Lylatt Cruise. I care not what you think. These stages are fun!

You disappointed me for not mentioning Gamer.

Okay now was that Incineroar avatar for the box or for Incineroar? Because I lost both of those and still have one avatar to wear.

How many people here have pre-ordered the game digitally along with the Fighter Pass?

Upon learning that you can get extra coins for pre-ordering both the game and the Fighter Pass, I'm awfully tempted... even if the characters are bunk, at least we're getting more stages.

I did. And I see that icon waiting on my Switch that I can't play yet. *Sobs.*

I hope someone at Nintendo looked at the roster and looked at Sakurai and was like, "Where the hell are the Zelda characters?" Here's hoping to Twili Midna as a Zelda echo in some non-Fighters Pass update. Hahaha... Haha... Ha...

Seeing Reggie try to stave off the Waluigi requests when they were barely on the topic of DLC is making me think that NoA is trying to push Waluigi to be in the roster but NCL and Sakurai might not be listening. Which kind of sucks because he kind of sounds exasperated over the requests for him and it's making me think if everyone at NoA just gets like 12 DMs a day that just say WAAAH with a random picture of Waluigi

interview also says this:

which implies no $1 Mii costumes or anything like that, though it leaves the door open for freebies
When I think microtransactions I always think of like...currencies and junk. But I guess that it'd always include any DLC in general, huh?

Only the fighter pass is really surprising to me, if so. Course plans always change

The massive gap for Europe's release was ridiculous even in those days. Honestly feels like Brawl was the game to finally get NoE to try and get games more or less released at the same time as the rest of the world. By the time I got it (which was even later cos I was on holiday when it launched) all hype and discussion on GAF was dead.
Europe's months-to-sometimes-years delays on even big games was pretty awful in the day, always felt bad for my friends forced to import if they wanted to play with us during the zeitgeist. I think it does still happen, but it felt like Pokemon XY were the big turning point moving forward. Nintendo does the weird thing where NoA & NoE will alternate random games, though. Like NoE got a few kirby titles 6 months early but NoA got some other title 6 months early.

NoA made it look like we all hate Tingle causing his disappearance in Zelda games so I'm glad NCL isn't listening to NoA's Waluigi requests.

I'm genuinely curious what new Mii costumes will be in the game this time. The only one we've seen that wasn't in the showcase was Lip's, which was presented in Spirits mode. I hope all the old ones returned. Crossing my fingers for a Chun-Li costume. I've got the Mii ready.
