I'm expecting at least 2 characters at E3. Pac-Man is the obvious first choice. After him, probably Mii, Shulk, or a FE character. Add Ridley to the list of candidates if there's a third reveal.

Miiverse is mostly OK. At most you get dumb comments, but the filters drown out all the racism and swearing you find in most comment sections.

And at least, most of the stupid is congregating in the Smash section these days.

E3? I guess an even distribution of hype-worthy vets and newcomers. Some new stages (Haven't got any in a while) probably. Yes, I'm very boring.

My E3 predictions (this was already posted but eh...), I expect Palutena, Chrom, and a 3rd party character (be it Pac-Man or Bayonetta). Also, the ultimate stance of Ridley in Smash 4 (I think playable ultimately).

Bayonetta has most likely lost her chance since Sonic is already in as the Sega character.

According to rumours, Nintendo is planning to buy SEGA soon.

Either someone said some very old news (and Nintendo buying Sega is a joking reference), or I'm confusing buying out something with third-party companies.

This was really awkward to phrase.

Uh, my guesses for reveals at E3 would be Pac-Man and Palutena. And Ridley...probably as a boss.

Also, that we'll finally get an explanation of how the two games interact.

I very strongly expect Ridley to be revealed- Sakurai hasn't been shy about anything else, so the fact that he's played coy about Ridley ever since he revealed the Pyrosphere stage is very suspect, as is the odd way his shadow moves in the Smash Bros Direct.

And I strongly doubt playable Pac-Man is a thing, honestly. Even Namco doesn't really give a shit about him anymore, except as a sort of icon or logo.

I sure said that!

They leased out the character to star in a cheap and terrible Western cartoon- Not exactly a sign of respect or caring for the character.

And even if that didn't exist, the same could be said of Capcom and Mega Man.

I don't really have a strong desire to see Pac-Man included, but I find him to be the only Namco character with significance remotely comparable to Sonic, Snake, or Mega Man. So if there's any playable Namco character, I think it should be him.

That's just it, though- Pac-Man hasn't been a big name in years, whereas Mega Man has been a rallying point for hardcore gamers for a while and Sonic and Snake's games are still going strong. Pac-Man, as far as most people are concerned, was two arcade games in the early '80s and that's it.

So why does there need to be a playable Namco character? I don't remember playing as the Galaga ship in Star Fox Assault even if the special flag from Rally X and Xevious was in it.

Well, to repeat myself "if there's any playable Namco character, I think it should be him." I'd be fine if there's no Namco character, but if there is one, Pac-Man is the most logical choice, and unlike you, I simply wouldn't object to his inclusion

That wasn't even the original Pac-Man, the show itself has Paccy as his son. Which is also why he's completely different. Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man were married, and had Paccy later on. We're just in the future where his parents are gone by now.

It's something some might not know, though. Long story short, don't worry about "that guy", cause he ain't the original Pac-Man. In the show itself, Pac-Man was a title, not a given birth name too.

Anyway, it depends if the leak is true, and honestly, it's a matter of Sakurai thinking Pac-Man(the original, not his son from the show) is worthwhile. Bandai-Namco's mascot for the Namco side is still Pac-Man regardless, so them using him is not unbelievable at all. Likewise, our supposed leak(from Sal) has him on it too. I don't much like Pac-Man as a choice, but let's be honest, if he shows up, is it honestly that surprising Namco would choose their mascot if given the choice for a character? It's just a matter of how Sakurai can figure out to make him playable, and the guy can make Wii Fit Trainer playable, so this shouldn't be too hard.(Pac-Man does have a lot of movies from the various franchises)

I'm just being real here, keep in mind. I'm leaving my personal dislike for Pac-Man out the door at this point. He is a realistic newcomer, respectively.

Sega doesn't own Bayonetta anymore, Nintendo does. Apparently the license was treated like shit by Sega, so the company moved over to Nintendo who was much more generous. Hence, Bayonetta 2 being a Wii U exclusive. I doubt that that game is going to be a Killer App, but it's definitely going to get some "hardcore" gamers to buy it.

Ahem.

The Wonderful 101 required Sega in its credits, due to the Bayonetta characters in the game. Has something changed since then?

Nintendo's funding and publishing Bayonetta 2, but the franchise still legally belongs to Sega.

Nintendo has, however, been unusually buddy-buddy with Sega and Atlus in recent years, to be sure, giving them the kind of treatment usually reserved for their second-party developers.

As evidenced by Sega using millions of dollars to fund a Bayonetta OVA, but not using those same millions of dollars to fund an actual sequel. Because Sega.
