Why aren't you on MSN anymore? I can never speak to you. D:

Memory issues on my main computer mean I can't have more than a couple of things open at a time or my browser starts throwing a tantrum and crashes. I'll still sign in every now and then though, I kinda miss talking to you honestly!

(What a thing to top a page with...)

just realized something! In the trailer that announced Rosalina and Luma, the music they used in the very beginning is the intro music from Kirby Air Ride! Did that fact make some people think we'd get a sequel or remake to Kirby Air Ride for Wii U or something?

I dunno, but I wouldn't mind that. Kirby Air Ride was friggin' awesome.

Apparently Air Ride was the game that made Sakurai quit working on the Kirby series. So he probably doesn't like it. Which was why I surprised he referenced it in the trailer.

Keep in mind the unlock system in Brawl is based upon Air Ride's too. He could've warmed up to it.

[up][up][up]Really? You got a source for that? I'd love to learn why.

[up]Considering they're not from Sakurai's Kirby games, I'd say the chance is less likely, but it's possible. Probably not, though. I don't know what they would do. Maybe Gooey could appear, though; he'd either restore a small bit of your health or wrap his tongue around someone and steal their power, possibly using it for a short period.

[up][up]Depends on what his papa Sakurai thinks about them. IIRC, the two games in which Rick, Kine, and Coo appeared (along with Kirby 64) weren't directed by him.

From what I understand, Sakurai doesn't dislike Kirby Air Ride. It wasn't the game itself that made him quit, it was the stuff he had to deal with while making it (I think there was some Executive Meddling, but I forget what exactly).

I'd love to see a Kirby Air Ride sequel, though. Mainly for City Trial, the best mode. :P

Hiroshi Yamaguchi was still in charge of Nintendo then, wasn't he? I remember him being much more of a hardass than Iwata.

I sure said that!

Tingle pretty much migrated over to his own series now. Other than the WW remake, he stopped being in Zelda games besides pure cameos at best since... Minish Cap.

It's probably less accurate to say he 'migrated' so much as he was 'exiled' from Lo Z to his own series.

And whether or not he'd work as a playable character, I'm pretty sure that the US at the very least would riot and revolt if he was made playable, and I doubt very much they'd risk alienating nearly an entire countries worth of potential buyers (twice, in some cases) by including a character they know full well is hated in that part of the world.

Interview

“The game balance of Super Smash Bros. Brawl started six years before its release, and it most likely goes back even further during its time of development, and it’s never been reformed even through the updates afterwards. We’re at a stage where we’d like to release the new title as soon as possible, and offer something more enjoyable than ever.”

[up][up] Nope, migrated. He already had his own games and decided to stick there. His key role in the Zelda games is usually "provide a map". Other than being necessary to finish some games, he didn't do much else.

Also, I don't buy the game would have any real trouble selling because Tingle is playable. Those that don't like him will use him as a punching bag and those who do will play as him. The only time it'll be annoying is any forced parts, which is beyond easy to avoid by having zero event matches that require you to use him. Likewise, 2/3 of the world he's popular in. That's more than enough.

I doubt it'll really alienate the fanbase at all. A tiny slew of customers lost is meh when they'll still have plenty left over, with pretty much as many new customers coming in. The only popularity really that matters would be if Sakurai acknowledges that he's notable enough around the world for playable, which... he is. The only thing actually setting him back at best is a good moveset. SSB will sell like hotcakes. Mewtwo not coming back did not much affect Brawl's sales either, and that was a major blow to a lot of fans. Having Tingle being playable would have even less of an impact.

I do mean his own logo, yes.

Hell no!

No, no! Dear goodness no! Tingle's "series" consists of two games, plus that Dolled-Up Installment of Balloon Fight. Giving him his own logo because of that is like making Luigi counting as a Luigi's Mansion character rather than a Mario character.

Wario was under the Mario section in Melee, and got changed over to Wario Ware in Brawl.

Because Warioware came out like two years after Melee.

I'd be okay with that too. It'd mean one more step towards Luigi getting out from under his brother's shadow.

It wasn't an insult or anything, just correcting something that didn't need to be corrected because I didn't read your post closely enough.

Nothing major.

I wouldn't mind Tingle being under his own series for the sake of loopholing the complainers who'll inevitably say "TOO MANY ZELDA CHARS", but for sure the design should be Wind Waker Tingle.

That's a silly sake. Don't pander to those complainers. Zelda is one of the largest Nintendo franchises; it deserves a fifth slot.

That you'd prefer clones over unique characters?

Indeed it does!

...although regardless of series of origin, Tingle would probably wind up drawing some moves from the Rupeeland games anyways.

I still like my idea of a Tingle Bottle Interface Screw for a special.
