Honestly, extra costumes would be neat. I don't see why the idea is anything to be bothered by.

Capcom and a number of Western devs made DLC a dirty word in the last console gen.

I sure said that!

Sounds like obvious DLC to me. Paid is the real question at this point to me.

Anyway, the Ganondorf reveal was from an official Japanese commercial. Basic Nintendo slip-up. I don't count the Dark Pit thing as a good way to say "he was teased". Mr. Game & Watch was fairly obvious to come back anyway, and the Wario slip-up is logical.

I'm not counting leaks and such when I say any of this, of course. That said, it's a cool fansite, at least.

That site also doesn't claim to be official. It just collects things in a much more organized way than regular miiverse. I've actually been using it for a while.

[up][up][up]Yeah, what would count more as a tease is DP's Amiibo on Sakurai's twitter.

[up] Or Famitsu talking about Dark Pit "how will he appear?"

Although I think that picture of all the figurines could've been further back than Sakurai's idea to take alts and turn them into characters like he did with Lucina.

That said, if you guys feel this is too close to leak talk, we can always move the conversation over to the leaks topic.

God. Dark Pit seriously annoys me.

Like, Doctor Mario I could accept, because he at least looks visually distinct from standard Mario. But Dark Pit is quite literally a palette swap of Pit. That's just... ugh.

Dark Pit literally exists because he was a Palette Swap of Pit in Brawl. Giving him his own character is completely Asinine.

[up][up] And yet on the other hand, Dark Pit is a separate (and reasonably popular, to my understanding) character while Dr. Mario is Mario as a doctor.

[up] I don't know, I think Uprising puts a nice spin on the evil duplicate trope with him.

To be fair, we don't know that for certain.

Dr. Mario could just be the elusive third Mario brother.

Dark Pit being a unique character bothers me more actually because it means Sakurai can't use the "clones are easier to make than unique characters" excuse. It's just him promoting a palette swap from his most recent game over more deserving characters. He could at least use a villain like Medusa or something.

I heard a rumor he'll be using the Dark Pit Staff but it's not been confirmed as far as I know.

Maybe Dr. Mario is like Toon Link. It's an alternate timeline where instead of becoming a plumber, Mario ended up discovering and following his true passion, medicine.

I'm just complaining about him in concept. Whether he is a character or not, I think it's a bad idea.

All evidence point to him being a clone, with the pretty much confirmed leak showing him lumped together with Lucina and Doctor Mario

Why can't he?

He's got the Dark Pit staff, so if anything he'll probably be this games Wolf (which also means people will bitch about him until he's cut in the next game, just like they did with Wolf.)

I guess I'd be fine if he was a Roy-type clone; has some clear differences, but mostly the same.

If he was a Wolf-type clone (almost entirely different) or a Lucina-type clone (not different at all), I'd be really bothered then.

Didn't Miyamoto once cryptically comment that he "couldn't imagine Mario being something like a doctor", hinting that Dr. Mario is in fact a different guy?

Then again, I could be severely misremembering (and Nintendo has refereed to them interchangeably in the past anyway)

I'd like to see gameplay of him myself first. I don't care if he uses different weapons or not, I just want his model to be distinct like Dr. Mario and Lucina's are. Nothing else.
