RUMOR - Sakurai teases Isaac, Mega Man or Geno for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Click Here to View Story

Here's a real juicy rumor for you guys and gals. Supposedly Sakurai responded to a fan that suggested Geno from Super Mario RPG, Isaac from Golden Sun and Mega Man to appear in the next Smash Bros.




Sakurai is saying 2 out of 3. He doesn't confirm which ones, but at least we know that two of the characters above will be included! That is, if the rumor is true! Thanks to all those that sent this in!

Fake. It should say "View Conversation" if he really replied.

Not necessarily, I can see a few tweets on my feed that look just like that. I think it has to due with whether you replied or just tweeted at them. Probably fake anyway though...

@chaosyoshimage

Exactly. If you don't reply to a user's tweet directly, it'll just say "Expand." But yeah, this is likely fake because it should say 8,808, not 8,807.

Too bad. I love both Issac and Geno and I've always thought they'd make great Smash Bros additions. I love Mega Man as well, but I think the chances of Issac and Geno would be higher of making the cut over the blue bomber, unfortunately.

Re-fix'd for greater accuracy.

Mario is nice, but it and Zelda are fabulously represented and would benefit zero from any further representatives. Anyone else added wouldn't be a major character, but either a secondary one (Waluigi, Tingle, Geno) or another form of a current one (Paper Mario, Mr. L, Young/Mask/Classic/Wolf Link). If you need to add characters, go to one that actually has main characters without representation, like Golden Sun or Metroid or Sin & Punishment or Punch-Out or Fire Emblem or Animal Crossing or Starfy or Custom Robo or Chibi-Robo or Whatever Wars or arguably Kid Icarus/F-Zero or any one of the countless cult classics Ninty's released in the last thirty years (e.g. Xenoblade et al., Eternal Darkness, Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan)

Isaac. Two As. Pet peeve.

And... why? They're both third-party, but one's a protagonist of a long-running franchise that's one of Capcom's main whereas the other is a side-character of a single game that SMRPG hasn't bothered with in fifteen years.

Geno isn't a bad character. But at the same time I've never quite understood why some people are obsessed with him. I suppose it would be cool to have him in Smash Bros. But it's not as if he's THE single coolest character to not yet be included in the series.

how about this: make LESS characters and LESS stuff and release the game at launch.

This better be a joke.

45 roster minimum - 50 at least is what he should be aiming for, amongst a competent, vast Stage Creator and Online [another 'Grand' Adventure Mode can take a hike, tbh].

@funkamatic
What? It would require years to have the basic gameplay alone working flawlessly. There is no chance it would be ready at launch with less characters since the game just started development this year. Besides, less content? Please no.
