Plus, as mentioned in the direct, there's a bundle coming with Splatoon and Smash 4 for the holiday rush, so...

I think it mostly depends on what type of stuff you want to play. The library is fairly small, but it has a lot of good exclusives; Super Mario 3 D World, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, the Bayonetta games, etc.

There's that Smash 4 + Splatoon Wii U bundle coming out later, right? I'd say to get that because you can get hundreds of hours in out of each of those games.

Going back to that high school yearbook superlatives post I made a while back about the Smash cast, I think Marth has met his match for the "Best Hair" award in you-know-who.

As a change of pace, what would be good alternate costumes instead of actual characters?

Question: how popular was Panel De Pon in Japan?

By the way I just looked it up and apparently the summons in Cloud's stage work in the following way:

There's a stage-exclusive Smash Ball-like item and whoever breaks it will be the one calling the summon, they won't just appear on stage randomly.

Cloud's just like

"oh, oh no"

"i wonder who hasn't stretched their arm out"

"i wonder who's gonna fucking get it"

"i wonder"

Okay, that's a cool idea. If there's a Knights of the Round summon it had better be an abbreviated version.

[up][up][up] In my (admittedly limited) understanding, it was mildly popular, but wasn't particularly huge either.

If you pay attention to the trailer you'll see that whenever a summon is active, Cloud has a red aura around him, except when Ifrit is shown, then it's Toon Link who has that aura.

You can also briefly see the red orb flying in when the stage is first shown.

Question: how popular was Panel de Pon in Japan?

The fact that she's a main character in Captain Rainbow is a testament to how obscure she is in Japan. However, unlike Little Mac, that obscurity also extends internationally.

Personal thoughts on Lip: She would be an interesting way of having a Tetris-style character in the game. However, while Lip's Stick being an item since Melee and her Captain Rainbow appearance do give her edges, she's still a character that Sakurai would really be reaching for. Not that that's bad, just that that's going to be difficult.

I'm going to be interested in Japan's reaction to Cloud's sudden appearance in Smash.

it lights up such interest in FF in japan that the series goes on to become the most popular series ever

and it goes back to ATB rather than what they have now

[up][up][up]Personally, I think if she makes it in at all, it'll be as a base character in 5. With DLC characters they're almost certainly going to stick to characters that they know are going to sell.

I doubt she'll even get into 5. She's beyond obscurity at this point. I think Lip's Stick will stay as an homage to the series, but no more.

I mean, I think anything's possible at this stage, but Cult Classic characters seem to be more and more unlikely as DLC for Smash 4. Still, I say there's always next time and leave it at that.

I think they never said FF 7 Remake is a PS 4 exclusive. Just "play it first", right? RIGHT? RIGHT?

FF 7 Remake for NX!

Also Dragon Quest 7-8 are coming out... and these used to be Playstation releases...

I'd be so hype to play FF VII on a Nintendo Console. I've actually gotta play it soon on my friend's vita in honor of Cloud.

So, if Cloud's in Super Smash Bros., does that mean we'll be getting some artwork done by Final Fantasy artists?

I suspect it'll be Nomura who does Cloud's poster art, but Amano drawing Mario or the other more cartoony Smash fighters would be good for a laugh.

I'm really interested in seeing that, actually.

Also, I love how Nintendo's explanation for being able to get Cloud in Smash was "Sakurai Magic".

An idea popped into my mind if it hasn't been done already: on Cloud's character page, should we continue the wiki-wide Running Gag by saying he hails from the seventh entry in the {noun}-{verb}ingly popular Final Fantasy series?

EDIT: Somebody actually did it already under the entry for Guest Fighter. I'm happy.[lol]

Well Sakurai also got Hideo Kojima of all people to practically beg for Snake to get into Melee, which in turn got him into Brawl.

Hey Sakurai, maybe you could try that magic on Kojima again sometime?

You mean Sega for Bayo and Nintendo for W101. Platinum doesn't own anything, though I presume they'd get a say anyway for courtesy if nothing else.
