Speaking of which; it's incredibly disappointing that an orchestral version "In the Final..." was arranged and performed for Shimomura's Memoria album, yet somehow made it off the final tracklist.

I still have to beat Bowser's Inside Story. -_- Partners in Time discouraged me so much that I stopped at the (next-to?) last boss and wasn't able to go back and finish it for a year. Or several.

It's looking like that for Bowser's Inside Story too now...I'm not even looking to get Dream Team.

I really liked Bowser's Inside Story. It was great and the final boss was every kind of epic.

I'm kind of bemused by people speculating about who did or didn't request Greninja when I'm pretty sure he must've been in development before the Gen VI games were even released...

I'm guessing strong predictive power or perhaps just reaching for a Water starter that isn't built like a brick shithouse.

Greninja is one of the most popular picks for a third evolution among the fans, to be fair. Albeit, I do agree with the idea that many thought he would be part of a Kalos Trainer instead of separate. It's interesting it's not the case, if only because I think PT itself was a great way to show off tons of playable Pokemon while not taking too much space on the roster screen itself.

I'm starting to get the idea that Little Mac wasn't included because of his Western popularity, but because he was a retro character who just happened to have a new game come out.

Does anyone else here consider the idea that Little Mac is our retro newcomer for this game? Because I still see people expecting characters like Takamaru or Lip to be the retro pick for SSB 4, and I doubt that either of them will get in now.

You have an interesting definition of new game. It feels like ages since that Wii game was released.

Considering his last game is a non-remake/port on the Wii? Not retro at all. He got revived via his own unique game on a non-retro system itself.

Sakurai may still have one up his sleeve. Ice Climbers and Pit were definitely retro. We had some Game & Watch games, I think new ones before Melee. I could be wrong on that. R.O.B. is somewhat debatable since he had no games starring himself(since the NES), but was playable in Mario Kart DS, a non-port. I am unsure of Takamaru. He's the same case as R.O.B. right now. As a main character, he's retro. As a character in general, he spans old and newer system.

Why would the game need to only have one retro newcomer, even in Mac can be considered one?

Brawl had Pit and ROB.

[up][up][up]Presuming that Wikipedia is correct, it was in 2009. A fair while but much more recent than whichever came before it.

Yeah, it takes at least ten or so years for such things to stop being "relatively recent".

Mac is in exactly the same position Pit is in, a once-retro character with a successful revival.

I sure said that!

Which both notably came out after they were in Brawl. Which made it sweeter. I just wish more characters besides Saki as well got a similar treatment of getting a game revival. A new Ice Climbers would be pretty sweet.

No, I'm pretty sure Punch-Out came out after Brawl.

Yup. Mac's return is even more notable in that he wasn't playable and didn't get a fangirl-attracting redesign in Brawl.

It's already been more or less confirmed that SSB 4 will focus more on the roster quality than quantity, meaning that there will be less emphasis on expanding the number of characters this time.

I still consider Little Mac to be the retro newcomer for this game because he is largely associated with video gaming in the 1980s. Sure he had a new game release in 2009, but ever since then there have been no attempts to make any new games in the Punch-Out franchise.

We may get another retro character, but until then I have my doubts on the matter.

So good. I wish they'd use that version of the SSB 4 main theme for the final game instead of the one we've heard in trailers so far.
