Speaking of Club Nintendo, the current games up for sale are Super Metroid, Kirby's Adventure, Brain Age Express: Arts and Letters, and Mario Kart 64. So Ridley, Bandanna Dee, Dr. Kawashima, and Toad for Smash?

Nah, not everything Nintendo does is a hint for Smash Bros.

This, for example, is clearly a hint that they're working on a Metroid/Brain Age crossover called Mother Brain Age, and that Mother Brain will be a DLC character for Mario Kart 8. The Kirby thing is clearly just a red herring.

While I wasn't serious about those Club Nintendo games, there will be a new selection coming June 9, right before E3. Could be a useful hint as to what's coming up. Or maybe not. Punch-Out was up for sale in February, and we got Mac of course. That was also Punch-Out's anniversary, but yeah. I believe Mario Lost Levels was in December, when we got Rosalina. Of course April didn't have anything Pokemon related, so it's probably a coincidence.

Shit. I needed to spend Club Nintendo coins, and I have all the games there that interest me.

Regarding Shrek, if Wikipedia is to be trusted, in Japan, anime is used a blanket term for animation in general, not specifically Japanese animation. So Sakurai would apparently exclude Goku and Shrek on equal terms.

EDIT: Sorry, meant to say that's how "anime" is used in Japan. I would think Sakurai would be using it the same way the rest of his home country does. Fair point on Sakurai only referring to Brawl.

That has nothing to do with 4, just Brawl. Also, we don't know if he was being broad or straight out meant the genres. Either way, saying "originating in a video game was a criteria" is flat out wrong no matter how you look at it. Which is the overall point.

Physical prizes can be redeemed again on the 15th, at least.

I sure said that!

I don't really care for the physical stuff.

Unless the hanafuda cards come back.

The physical prize set will probably be the same until the cutoff date.

As much as I'd like a good Mario hat or something Kid Icarus or Punch-Out!! related.sad

Ugh. None of the physical rewards are that appealing to me (except the classic Mario shirt, which I already have).

On the bright side, I misread "Mario Kart 64" as "Super Mario 64", so at least I could get that.

Mario Kart 64 is a good choice.

I already have Super Metroid (on both systems), and Kirby's Adventure via the Dream Collection. And I don't care about Brain Age. So that's my only option.

Also, I need to register more of my back catalogue, to hit the elite status.

Speaking of Shrek, I'm not even sure why people suggest him as a joke.

It started as a reference to both, the "SHREK Takes Ogre!" pic spoofing the newcomer taglines and "Shrek is love, Shrek is life."

Oh, and of course there's Bigley: a little hummingbird stick-figure thingy that originally spoofed Ridley. It became popular because it's a Ridiculously Cute Critter.

You know who we need as a character?

Masahiro Sakurai.

No seriously, he's a video game character.

His Final Smash is him posting a picture of Palutena as an Assist Trophy and everyone jumps off the level in anguish.

Well, Sakurai's not a manga or anime character, so he's definitely in the running.

#43845: May 12th 2014 at 8:02:12 PM

He's also 1st Party. Actually, I think he could be a great boss where he has a random moveset and dresses like the character. It's perfect for him.

Aah. Was googling for who else could have that name but I couldn't see the pothole in the spolier.

If he looks at 90s anime as the hero I wouldn't mind him.

I'd be fine with Sakurai as long as he has a Sakurai alternate costume.

[up]x7 Make that into a pic of Ridley as a stage hazard and you've got yourself one of the best Final Smashes in the game.
