Fire Emblem But There's Only One Unit sounds like it wouldn't even work as a WarioWare joke without injecting some other genre into it.

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT7| March Madness

I know, right? It only happens when they start to randomly delist old Directs on youtube.
Oh, wait... That was nothing either.
This
Every chapter of the game consists in Byleth killing that dumb emperor and then hanging her head by the gates of Embar.
well obviously. Married queens ruling over Fódlan together, what more could you need in a game?
In terms of 'characters a few people (in the West) really want despite not being known by a fair majority of people," Geno is definitely the hardest one to justify:
Dragon Quest Hero:
The main character of one of the biggest JRPG franchises out there that is stronger than ever. There are 4 unique forms all showing off different sides to the franchise's history.
Terry:
The mascot of one of the most prolific fighting game developers out there; was a staple in arcades around the world. His inclusion allows representation for an entire litany of arcade franchises from fighters to beat-em-ups to sidescrolling shooters.
Geno:
A side character in a 24 year old Mario RPG game.
That Mario RPG game wasn't even the Mario RPG game to garner any sequels
His singular appearance afterwards was removed in a remake
I understand some people love the guy for some reason but, damn, I and I'm sure many others will be very disappointed if he gets in. That's because, honestly, Geno's popularity is only there because of fan desire for him in Smash; he holds no weight outside of the fact that people just keep on requesting him.
Give him a Mii costume, definitely, but when there are still so many genuinely iconic non-meme characters that can still be included it would just seem like a waste to include him as an actual fighter.

Yeah you're right. I still think he is in tho. Now that you said that, I would love it if Lara was in. She would make a great first fighter too. I think Lara Croft in smash is a matter of when and not if.
I sure as hell will love to see that. I'm still bummed Byleth got in instead of her :(
Yeah, thinking how've they got the hype characters before and left Byleth as the last in FP1, it's fair they will probably get someone really strong as the first announcement again.
Yeah, they'll probably let him for later and choose some icon as the first slot.
I think Capcom should get the Disco Elysium devs to reboot the Ace Attorney franchise. It is highly likely that this collaboration will be announced at this week's Direct.
No, but seriously, how awesome would that be?

Geno is so, so in and I will be underwhelmed if Nintendo tried to use him as the main selling point of the pass like JokerThis is basically Geno's lynchpin at this point
That and the missing Mii outfit
Y'all looking at patterns and didn't notice the 1st Fighter's Pass began and ended with Cassandra Lee Morris as the character's sidekick thus proving that the first character of Fighter's Pass 2 is obviously either Akira Howard or Elma.
The last character is Edea Lee, Cassandra Lee Morris herself
FoV slider, plum juice, rabbits, Psycho-Locks, sudoku generator, narration by Ross Scott, keyboard controls, lynxes, constant luminance filters, exit button, a 20th Century Fox logo on startup, cloud save permission, pudding pops, dinosaur ponies, ten foot laser poles, cyborgs under my command, and I could go on and on and o-
I don't remember, but they shifted to announcing a general direct one day prior last year. Back then, every Direct was on a Wednesday, so the general Directs got announced on Tuesday. With this one being on Thursday (like the other ones this year), it's not just wishful thinking but by far the most likely scenario that it will get announced tomorrow. Or next Wednesday - if its next week.
Intelligent Systems and Alpha Dream's faces when some random party member from a game that Square didn't even allow a sequel to is included in smash before any of the characters from their two popular, generation-spanning Mario RPG franchises that have been staples of Nintendo's lineup for decades:
Certainly possible, and I think it's a fun compromise if he really can't get in.
What's more relevant than having a fandom that actively wants you in?
Well, more to the point, it was a character made by a lot of the Alphadream staff. Since Nintendo is choosing the characters, it would be pretty callous to pick a character they made if they haven't hired or supported Yoshihiko Maekawa and the other staff members post-bankruptcy.Intelligent Systems and Alpha Dream's faces when some random party member from a game that Square didn't even allow a sequel to gets in over any of the characters from their two popular, generation-spanning Mario RPG franchises:

or they would, if they still existed
thank you ! so the dream is not completely over ahah
Huh, I didn't realise that Alpha Dream made Mario RPG as well.
That post was just a shitpost, though, so pay no mind. Still don't think Geno should get in however.
Specifically, Chihiro Fujioka was the director of SMRPG and later went on to direct the M&L series. Geno actually cameo'd in Superstar Saga when Fujioka learned of his burgeoning internet popularity.
They only did the Superstar Saga cameo because they heard he had a western fanbase. I doubt he was a very beloved character.
The announcement better be fucking tomorrow. I ain't playing AC, WHAT AM I PLAYING IN APRIL and MAY NINTENDO? WHAT?! I'M GOING CRAZY OVER HERE.
No problem. Far from over actually. It's always the same here: it's very clear from the beginning that the chances for an announcement on Wednesday are 95%. Still, people are hyping themselves up for a potential earlier announcement and then suddeny think that if nothing happens on that very unlikely earlier point, nothing would come at all.
If there is a Direct this week, the announcement will be most likely tomorrow. simple as that.
No it was in 2018
Nintendo Direct announced for September 6
Following up on speculation regarding a new Nintendo Direct, Nintendo itself has now announced the presentation. As was rumored, the presentation will be hosted tomorrow. The broadcast will go live at the following times: – 3 PM PT – 6 PM ET – 11 PM in the UK – 12 AM in Europe Nintendo will be...

Huh.
Still, I think that if Nintendo is going to honour Mario RPGs in Smash then a character from one of the other two would be much more fitting imo
Of course that's ignoring the many, many other characters that are more deserving than him in terms of their impact on the gaming industry. Geno getting in as DLC before a single female character gets in (that isn't just a costume swap of a Male default) would be ridiculous tbh.
Lara Croft is in Brawlhalla.
Dunno where the Roivas comparison came from though. That game's owned by Nintendo.
Tell ya what if I'm right about Geno I'll use my prophetic superpowers to get Dixie Kong, Hornet and Ayumi Tachibana into the Fighter Pass.
April has Trials of Mana, May has Xenoblade DE. If you haven't played, Bioshock Collection, XCOM 2 and Catherine should release very soon.
