So, if the final character reveal ties in to a N64 Classic reveal, which N64 era character do we think that could be?
A couple of possibilities I think:
Of these I thought of, I think Skull Kid has the most realistic shot, obviously since he is a first party character that originated from video games. He also is closely associated with the N64.
- Banjo and Kazooie from Banjo Kazooie
- James Bond from Golden Eye
- Tony Hawk from Tony Hawk Pro Skater
- Ken Griffey Jr. from Major League Baseball ft. Ken Griffey Jr.
- Skull Kid from Majora's Mask
Banjo seems less likely since so many insiders are doubting his inclusion.
I would love either Tony Hawk, Ken Griffey Jr., or James Bond as the WTF character and then have their game on the N64 classic. But they aren't video game characters first and foremost. Another problem with those characters is that they all have various license issues that would make their inclusion difficult.
A real human being would feel wrong, so I'd discount Mr. Hawk and Lil' Ken Griffey.
I think it'd be between Banjo and Skull Kid personally, but then Sakurai could pull something like Jaggy Mario.
