@K Sonik: They did. Game & Watch are video games overall(electronic devices you can play games on, the actual definition. Same as the Tamagotchi, any arcade game, including Pinball, etc.). R.O.B. originated in his own video games when he was released. The toy and games got the same release date.

As of now, he actually has put in characters that originated from video games. It's likely he'll keep that up. Also, first, despite the misunderstanding of his criteria, that only applied to 3rd parties anyway. Any Nintendo-made character could possibly get in, video game origin or not, since they're owned by Nintendo.

To be clear, although he didn't say "originate in a video game" despite popular belief, he was fully referring to 3rd parties only. We have no idea exactly whether the video game origin thing matters for Nintendo characters or not. Since it's never something he brought up.

You know what I kinda hope they fix? The Final Smash Trophies list them all as being from Super Smash Bros Brawl (Except Sonic's, which is listed as both Brawl and Sonic 2) at the bottom. For the ones that originate from the games (DK, Yoshi, Ganondorf, Pikachu, ect), they should at least fix that to be more like Sonic's.

Name a Nintedo character who isn't from a game.

I'd be very surprised if there is any significant number.

I thought Nintendo didn't create him? I know there's a comic too, but didn't Di C or someone else make Captain N himself?

I realize the irony here considering his name.

Especially since Captain Commando exists.(Capcom)

I'd love to see him as a Trophy, but it's not worth the 3rd party money. Nintendo doesn't own the character, and the regular ones who show up(Dr. Wily, Simon Belmont, Donkey Kong(as in the Arcade one, who already showed up in the Brawl course anyway), Eggplant Wizard, King Hippo, and Ganon(again)) could actually appear. But I'd chalk that up to an amazing coincidence unless he says he wanted to reference the series. Mother Brain and Mega Man already showed up, of course. And Samus too(obviously), as she was in the actual comic.

That's why I wasn't talking about Reggie. [lol]

I'd love to play as him via a Mii, though. Would be a great specific costume.

Actually, from what I understand from what I remember when a rep of Shout! Factory once visited a Captain N board prior to the series being released on DVD, the rights were practically everywhere. Di C doesn't actually own Captain N, which is why the comics couldn't appear on the DVD, although it's also because nobody knows who owns the rights of that one.

Huh. I've seen similar situations before. Quest 64's copyrights are owned by nobody last I checked. It was given up when Imagineer went out of the Video Game business. Technically speaking, they default to Nintendo since they're all Nintendo games, but Sunsoft also worked on one or two of them, so... it's nuts.

Well, I doubt he'd make even a cameo, so eh. It'd be neat if Nintendo owned it now, so no licensing was needed for a trophy/sticker, though.

I'm pretty sure if nobody own the rights to something, then it's public domain.

Not exactly. Even though Captain N's right mostly belongs to Nintendo, the comic and its story still belong to someone, and the rights to that don't expire until fuck who knows before it can land in Nintendo's hands.

EDIT: There's a reason fanfics can't just be adapted by the original trademark holders, the copyright law still applies to that.

I'll admit this is a bit of a stretch, but when Nintendo was founded in 1889, they started as a manufacturer of hanafuda and later playing cards. That sounds like a decent idea for a Trophy, at least?

... ah, right. This is why I stopped paying attention to this thread a while ago.
I'll admit, there are times I wish I could be brave enough to walk away, too.tongue

They actually still make hanafuda cards. They are (or were, at least) one of the expensive rewards you could get on Club Nintendo.
