Shantae is dominating the poll along with Shovel Knight, so I have high hopes for her.

Oh, and Mewtwo, too.

Do note that all "polls" are fan-run, though ultimately it doesn't mean that the people at Nintendo won't get an idea of what the general fandom's feelings are on them via things like that.

Also, Full Moon, have you gotten around to playing one of Shantae's titles yet?

I stand by my opinion that indies don't deserve a spot.

Shantae might be an exception considering she was with Nintendo since the Game Boy Color days, but even considering that, I still SERIOUSLY don't see what the big deal is.

Nope.

I still have a good amount of games I need to finish (Strider, Mark of the Ninja, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Star Fox Assault, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Fire Emblem Awakening... That's not counting with Shovel Knight Plague of Shadows that I haven't gotten yet plus probably a bunch of other games) and I want to put some focus on doing that.

I don't even know what's the order of Shantae's games.

The original GBC game Shantae, is, of course, first, followed by Risky's Revenge for D Si Ware, and the Pirate's Curse for 3DS/Wii U. With the up-coming Half-Genie Hero for all of the things.

As for why people want her, well, why do any fans want any character? There are lots of reasons, and if you don't like the character, you don't have to. As long as you can accept them if they do make it in.

Super Smash Disney.

I wanna be Jim Hawkins.

His Final Smash would be sweeping up people in his solar surfer and slamming them into the stage so they launch back off.

Game Boy/eShop: Shantae

DS/eShop: Risky's Revenge

3DS/Wii U/PC: Pirate's Curse

Half-Genie Hero is next to release and I think that's multi-platform as well.

And people want her for about the same reasons they want Shovel Knight. My votes have already gone out to both her and Lip though.

You can find it on the 3DS eshop. I have all the games in the series on my 3DS except for the unreleased game.

Ah all right then. Good to know. I might get one of them if only so I have a platformer to play when I'm outside with my 3DS

Wayforward's other game, Mighty Switch Force is also a pretty great pick-up-and-play game for the 3DS. And it features virt going full on techno, as well as "Woah, I'm in Space Cuba".

[up][up][up][up][up][up] I actually had a dream that Super Smash Disney was indeed a thing. Winnie the Pooh was the best character in the game.

I would buy a Smash Disney if it were a thing.


I still don't have high hopes for the characters I voted for, but the ones people are clamoring about I'm okay with getting in. (In particular, K Rool, Rayman, Banjo-Kazooie, and the indie characters.)

@Full Moon: Risky's Revenge is shorter than the other games, but I feel that it's better as an introductory game because of it. All the games (except Half-Genie Hero) are Metroidvania-style games, but the first game has rather large sprites that kind of work against the platforming aspects of the series, and I've heard of some people having trouble playing it because of that.

Well, it was designed for a Gameboy Color, and has all the disadvantages of being on that platform.

Like the lack of buttons.

The issue that a lot of platformers on the Game Boy and GBA was that a lot of them had screen crunch. This is noticeable for ports like Sonic Genesis or the Mario Advance series (And it's a big problem with Genesis).

Noted. I'll see about getting it later, Metroidvania is one of my favorite genres.

On the topic of Shovel Knight and Shantae, I'd like to mention that their lack of popularity abroad will be a huge challenge for them to overcome. While they may have a lot of popularity from a Western point of view, they just aren't as popular worldwide, and that might hinder their chances to be added.

Of course, if the regional-based DLC rumor is true, you can probably disregard that. They do have a lot of support in English-speaking countries.

Yeah, if that rumor is true; then Shovel Knight, Shantae, K. Rool, and Wolf are shoe-ins. Especially since Yacht and Wayforward support Shovel Knight and Shantae being voted for. Shantae probably does have a small issue with her outfit.

Yeah, a lot of Japanese fans complained about Little Mac's inclusion in SSB 4. I did hear that Shantae is decently popular in Japan, but that seems to be limited to the kind of people who pirate games.

[up]x5 Sonic Genesis had OTHER problems.

I just personally found Shantae to be... mediocre and forgettable, and I can't understand the series's disproportionate popularity at all because of it. And that she's begun to be associated with the "nindies", which I actively despise, have soured my taste against her even more.note 

But that said, I'm just a cranky old curmudgeon.
