You can't stop the apparent love Samus has for Little Mac!

If you're still mad about the Wii Fit Trainer then Sakurai did his job right. She was put in to rustle peoples jimmies and garner attention.

And your jimmies are sufficiently rustled.

I for one am quite happy with WFT. I also don't see how anyone could ship Samus with Little Mac. It's like even if they saw that video, they took the exact wrong thing from it...

It only takes the Internet. I have no idea where it came from :P

I would like to see Mewtwo make a comeback.

Namco-Bandai specifically.

As of a few months ago it's officially Bandai-Namco.

[up] To be fair, same difference. Wording aside, you get what I mean.

Anyway, he did add a stage from a electronic toy(again). And Tamagotchi didn't even start as Nintendo related directly like Game & Watch did. Makes my hopes for a possible Digimon rep far higher. Not that it was super high to begin with, but eh.

While WFT is obviously a WTF choice, she's actually a pretty good fit, representing the popular Wii Fit games. She's one of the star characters from one of Nintendo's newest popular series, so she absolutely deserves to be in.

Tomodachi Collection is NOT Tamagotchi. They have nothing to do with one another.

This is why I hate that damn word. I can never remember it correctly. -_- I can't even remember the spelling.

Eh, regardless, electronic toys are pretty much video games in every way anyway, so who cares. Just hope if we get a Bandai-Namco character, they go for somebody beyond Pac-Man, since he's just too obvious and there's a large slew of characters to choose from besides him.

[up] Playing devil's advocate for a moment here, one could say the same thing about choosing Mega Man over all of Capcom's other characters.

Mega Man was Capcom's first character, had an excellent set of moves, severely popular, started on Nintendo(never mind on a regular console/handheld, not just Arcade, which is pretty much Pac-Man's forte, compared to other Namco-Bandai choices which show off consoles/handhelds better) and was the mascot for one company. With two companies merged, it's not nearly that easy as only going for the Namco side.

It's a different story due to circumstances.

Obviously we need a bandai character, then.

I vote for Tommy.

Considering the fact only Manga/Anime originating characters are barred? Super unlikely, but not impossible. XD

Albeit, I'd prefer his White Ranger costume if any. With access to the other costumes and having weaponry attacks from each one. ...Now if only the Thunder Ultrazord didn't suck eggs. -_-

The Namco-Bandai character will obviously be a Geolytean.

Clearly the Namco-Bandai character should be Darth Vader.

They developed the 1987 NES game and he was in Soul Calibur IV, so they're pretty much intrinsically tied together.

I'd pull for any given Tales series main character. Cress, Lloyd, Emil, and Asbel probably being the main contenders.

You know.

If any Bamco Namdai characters do get in. I think it was said that they weren't getting special treatment in that regard, so the character would still have to be as important as Mega Man or Sonic in terms of history with Nintendo.

I have a message from another time...

Well, he put Snake in because Kojima asked him to, so maybe Miyamoto will ask Sakurai to put in Pac-Man. >_>

I, don't really get the Fit trainer complaints. We've already seen three characters who aren't even from Nintendo games, two of which don't really bring anything an Nintendo character would not.

The trainer has a unique tone and approach to combat at least.

Yeah. While I might have some characters I'd prefer to see over others, the only real reason I might consider a character a "waste of a slot" is if they're a clone. And even then, since those take less time to implement compared to a fully distinctive character, there's no guarantee that we'd get anything better even if they hadn't added in the clone.

As long as a character is unique, I'm satisfied.

Heck, compare Captain Falcon, who isn't even visible in his own racing games. Or Fox. Or Olimar. Or ROB.

WFT could be considered a rather pathetic attempt to attract the casual market.

Yet what makes it "pathetic" while other characters like Captain Falcon or Pit or Mr. Game & Watch are acceptable?
