That's the thing. Why would Nintendo even think of doing that? Would they really go out of their way to negotiate only for the possibility of having a creative dispute with the Director that gave them this multi million dollar franchise? That seems uncharacteristically risky for Nintendo and this is the same publisher and company that allows Miyamoto to suggest some of the craziest things. I'm just thinking that after all the negotiating done for the third parties in the base game I can see Nintendo deciding to do the DLC selection on their own and focusing on their own IP.
Nintendo could have asked Sakurai if he was interested in including a particular third-party character and then negotiated the rights if he said yes. It would be pure idiocy to do the reverse of negotiating the rights and then asking Sakurai if he was interested.
The cynic in me says they might just not care. He's their employee and they're a business.
Well I think there's a world of a difference with Corrin, a character that's owned by Nintendo and was only included with the free form condition of "make a character to promote a game", and going out of their way to negotiate with a specific company for a specific character. By a company that would be more likely to want to push their own IP in their premiere crossover that can also like a gateway to other franchises to many people and would make the bigger profit from focusing on just that
He's technically not? The way I understand it is that Sora Ltd. works on a contract basis, it just happens to be that they've only worked on Nintendo games so far. Meaning he is not receiving a salary from Nintendo, but rather they are probably paying him according to project obligations and goals.
that's why everyone in this thread is required to respect me
Steve, Noctis, and Heihachi realistically speaking.
I'm not saying he can't make a character work. I'm just saying what if he didn't want to work on the character. He says it clear as day he can decide to make a fighter based on their selection. At the end of the day he has the final say and if the final say is that he doesn't want to work on the character for any reason then that's his decision. The question then becomes if Nintendo would work on negotiations when there's a very possible chance Sakurai would either say no or want to focus on other characters.
If it's the mech, eh sure.
Not sure if someone else already explained it to you but what it means is that if you throw out an attack and the enemy blocks it with his shield, depending on the attack you did you are vulnerable after he blocked or not.
This is pretty rude. Not only does it read perfectly well to me but have you considered that not everyone on the forum speaks English as their first language?
Come on people, some of us don't use English as work/daily life language, give us some slack!
Heh, wait till you see someone mention Goku as a desired character.
Heh, wait til you see someone mention ken fucking masters as a desired character.
Nice edit lol, I was about to correct that. The 64 Bumper was suchhhhhh a fun item! And trust me, I know fun.
KEN. FUCKING. MASTERS.
"He said that no Spirit character will be DLC!"
