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:
  • 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
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 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.

It's now or nothing. Hoping to see some more Steve Mayles characters today.

Banjo is the most likely if the N64 Classic has Rare games. You can just imagine the Treehouse transition from talking about Banjo in Smash to Bill pulling out a mini N64.

Personally I'd pull for Paper Mario

final Smash direct is today, I leave work 3 hrs early and still getting paid for it, and I have a three day weekend. I almost passed out on the train this morning but Gaga made sure no harm came to me. Not on THIS day. 3 hrs 10 minutes, folks. Let's get this bread!

I can already see YouTube videos of people bitching because this Grinch rumor put characters in their head.

Talking about "saving the best for last"

Every smash game before this has had VASTLY different marketing. This is the first time where we know we'll be seeing everything before release.
I fully expect Sakurai to capitalize on the Ultimate subtitle and just how exciting things have been before this point.
Things change after all and we sure didn't expect us to have all veterans confirmed as the first look at the game either.

The only big thing I expect to be saved for last is an actual big DLC character. I don't see anymore big base game characters.

I honestly can't lie, I would be very disappointed if the characters are way below the grinch expectations. While so many characters are obviously impossible, the characters that seem likely aren't interesting for me, tbh, I have more interest in Ken than Incineroar or Geno lol

I think people are being duped hard here with the N64 mini rumors lol

The same guy who told Gaming Intel that the N64 mini was being announced after the Direct literally said that Incineroar wasn't being announced, lmfao come the fuck on.
I don't know who to believe anymore. At this point it's not worth to me to get invested in what anyone says, Direct is in about 3 hours, let's just wait and see what happens.

They should add a Master Higgins/Takahashi Meijin Mii Costume now that Konami's back on board.

Everything is pointing towards there being more playable charcter reveals than Ken/Incineroar. I am predicting 3 Newcomers and 2 Echoes right now

Can't wait for everyone here to crash and burn after the direct and all this speculation to end.

I'm on the same boat. Fuck what's about Smash that makes me so anxious?

Aside from being the franchise that I grew up with and being my most beloved franchise of all time.

Because you have nothing else to do with your life. No major ambitions, worries, or dreams. Just a video game fan.

You're like one of the few I've seen say they like Ken

insider said no big third party

they must be hinting at a small third party, like, Olimar small

how do I determine if Rayman is canonically small and Barbara, doors, etc. are also small, or if it's the plums and frogs which are big

Now that I think about it, what even are small-sized third party characters?

Third party not from a AAA dev is how I took it
