Real talk, why the fuck is Banjo playable? He's an irrelevant character from a dead franchise
Actual iconic characters like Bomberman, who has over 70 games mind you is only an assist trophy, but this ugly bear who has only 5 games, 2 of which weren't even in Japan gets to be playable?
Unfucking acceptable, you can't seriously defend this.
Because he defined Nintendo during it's N64 days more than Bomberman ever did...
...while Banjo Kazooie may de facto belong to Microsoft, in the minds of most it is still a Nintendo franchise.
Dominic Kelly
So what’s the name for Bombermanfag?
Camden Taylor
bomberman kun, i guess. makes bombermanfans look like shit, but its good enough. guy's fucking autistic.
Gavin Flores
Bomberman is 15 years older than Banjo retard
Banjo did compared to Bomberman you zoomer retard, omberman was one of the games that revolutionized 4-8 player co-op gaming in consoles, back then, it was phenomenal as only 2 players could play on console before it became a stable. Also Hi-ten Bomberman was one of the first HD games ever made back in 1993 and he was the first third-party to crossover with another Nintendo property.
"I just finished school and grade number eight, So let's head to Yea Forums and start posting bait!" You sure think you're clever, but you only cause groans. Only children enjoy posting Wojaks from phones!
Go back to your Discord already, retard. You do know people can see your old posts in the archive, right? You're a fucking loser.
Juan Miller
gay.
Chase Diaz
Who the fuck is this falseflagger who has been pretending to be a Bomberman fan since Banjo was revealed? Yea Forums can do a lot of things, any way to dox him? Yea Forums?
He false flagged as an Isaacfag before, now he's using Bomberman. Imagine being this autistic.
Ayden Foster
>troll face is good Are you legion?
Leo Kelly
Quality>quantity. Banjo 1 and 2 are better than 69 of those bomberman games.
Anthony Rogers
Because they are getting nothing else, no remaster/remake, no new game, no port. It's funny how people though there was going to be a new game though but I didn't believe it.

You are no Bomberman supporter. Any Bomberman supporter would know full well that you can't simply parade his iconic status as a "get into Smash free" card, especially if there are a ton of franchises that have been more prolific than Bomberman ever has. In fact, most Bomberman supporters have either dropped out of the roster race or began to support other characters, Banjo included. Stupid fucking falseflagger.
> He false flagged as an Isaacfag before Source or fuck off
Brody Walker
I'll hazard to say this Gruntyposter is based, anyone who thinks otherwise surely eats paste!
Hunter Bennett
he has some strange vendetta against banjo, and likes using other popular characters against him. he's probably underage.
Caleb Perry
being in smash is no honor, it's a dumbed down game with shit eating fans, if I ever had an ip I wouldn't want it to be in smash.
Luis Brown
I accept your concession
Bentley Sanchez
Bomberman is the new Steve discord narrative for some reason

Bomberman is more prolific than banjo.

Bomberman is more popular

Based on what? certainly not sales. Some gay smash poll?

Wut? Literally everyone has seen the character at least once.
Elijah Jones
Real talk: What does Bomberman offer in terms of moveset that isn't just placing bombs down
Benjamin Barnes
By that logic, BK should have been on SSBU since launch day
Bentley Gonzalez
You see this? You see this right here?
This is exactly why lifetime series sales are a dishonest metric that dont mean anything
Banjo-Kazooie came in, made a huge splash (Banjo-Kazooie sold more on a Nintendo platformer than most of the guest characters in Smash have managed), had Nintendo ready to treat it as one of their own, and then nailed it with the sequel. What happened after that point didnt matter, Banjo and Kazooie could have either continued to be successful, had a bunch of crap games like Sonic, or just gotten bought out like what actually ended up happening, their initial games left such a lasting impression on such a high percentage of people who owned the N64 that they were gonna be remembered 20 years later even with nothing coming out
Bomberman has over 70 titles but has a lifetime sales metric of 10 million sales Is this number of games larger than that of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise? Yes Is this lifetime sales number larger than that of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise? Also yes But break down 10 million sales going into 70 titles and you realize the vast majority of Bombermans games havent made any noise or gotten any attention. 1/10th of the total series sales are from Bomberman R alone and that was largely because it was one of the only things for Switch early adopters to play
The average for game sales in the Bomberman franchise is sub-1 million (accounting for the 20 or so arcade and mobile games which wouldnt add anything to the series total sales), and the vast majority of those are multiplats Which means that Bomberman was exposed to a fraction of a sub-1 million number of Nintendo fans with every release.
He mathematically hasnt made nearly the lasting impression on Nintendo fans that Banjo and Kazooie have despite having a bunch of big numbers the fans can point to in order to justify him as important. Smash is about making a big splash, a lasting impression, and Bomberman is a faucet thats been left to drip for 30 years
not according to the smash ballot what could be more relevant than a popularity poll specifically for smash? and everyone knows who mickey mouse is but he isn't the global favorite cartoon character
>what could be more relevant than a popularity poll specifically for smash? sales.
Lucas Russell
>what could be more relevant than a popularity poll specifically for smash? Because Bomberman doesn't live and die in Nintendo like Banjo does? Next thing you are gonna tell me is that Touhou isn't more popular than BK.
Isaiah Butler
Rayman is miles more popular then both Bomberman and Banjo and yet he’s still not in smash
Rayman is objectively a more popular character, his franchise sold 28 million copies and that’s not including any of the rabbids games
Ethan Hall
>shit reaction pic opinion discarded.
David Wood
I've never played touhou because I'm not Japanese or a weeb but its obviously more popular than BK at the moment but touhou has zero relations with Nintendo so its even less relevant to smash than bomberman
Luis White
How many non-Smash games have the Ice Climbers been in?
Jaxson Diaz
So you're saying that the last two DLC characters should be Jonsey and some MOBA bitch, right?
Hunter Roberts
One good one.
Kayden Powell
The current target audience of Rayman isn't as broad, Rayman is pure platforming while BK is a more jack of all trades adventure game. I would like him in too but I can see why they though BK has more marketing appeal.
Jayden Richardson
>So you're saying that the last two DLC characters should be I'm saying bomberman is more popular than banjo.
Parker Baker
And how many of those 28 million copies are on Nintendo consoles? How much exposure have Nintendo fans had to Rayman?
Divide 28 million into 5 games that are on every fucking platform on earth and you'll find that the number is a lot lower than the one you like to throw out in order to feel safe.
Carson Perez

Colton Torres
>Why didn't this happen? >Why did that happen? >It's just not fair. The sooner you stop mulling on ways to bum yourself out the sooner you can enjoy life for a change.
just because a game franchise has sold 10 million games over 70 releases doesn't mean it's inherently more popular than a franchise with 5 million sales over 2 releases I like bomberman but I like banjo a hell of a lot more. Despite that, I've bought 4x the bomberman games relative to banjo games sales don't always correlate with popularity
Ethan Bennett
> Using numbers from 2004 Retard
Anthony Ross
>just because a game franchise has sold 10 million games over 70 releases doesn't mean it's inherently more popular than a franchise with 5 million sales over 2 releases yes it does.
Juan Rogers
Because people wanted him you insufferable cunt. The based the whole thing on fan demands and voting, and the results showed people wanted Banjo. It's not that fucking hard to understand
Aaron Taylor
banjo has more unique sales than bomberman bomberman's best selling game sold just over 1 million copies banjo's worst selling game sold just over 1.3 million
Benjamin Perry
Don’t worry OP, way to much effort went into the fighters pass because none of those characters will be playable in smash after ultimate. Joker, Hero Banjo and the remaining 2 FP characters will all be cut next game, Bomberman may get his chance next game as long as it isn’t a reboot.
Ian Baker
Imagine unironically believing Banjo is more popular than Shiro "first HD game" Bomberman
Banjofags deserve death, thinking he's hot shit because of Smash
Oliver Martin
>unique sales. No way you can verify who bought what.
Levi Myers
Retard, Bomberman sales numbers hasn't updated since 2004, that's why it's 10 millions
Real talk, why the fuck is Yea Forums still a board? It's an irrelevant pile of shitposts from a dead era of the internet. Actual iconic video game forums like Resetera, who have over 70 developers and publishers amongst their ranks is derided by this ugly board which has few accomplishments, one of which is a terrible video game award stream. Fucking unacceptable, you seriously can't defend this.

Wyatt Cook
He’ll only return if persona 5 is still as popular as it is, which it still may be. He Should get replaced by a SMT rep that has actually appeared on a Nintendo console however.
Cooper Williams
Why would they announce something in development? It's coming 2020. For Switch.
You got nothing going on in your uneventful humdrum life you have to make a post of extremely low quality? Get a job you stupid nigger.
Jack Wilson
Think about this >Smash 64: 1999 >Smash Melee: 2001 nothing special in the west but it’s Japanese name was super smash bros deluxe. >Smash Brawl: 2008 Released around the series 10th anniversary, Japanese name was super smash bros x, x is 10 in Roman numerals. >Smash 3ds and wii u: 2014 released around series 15th anniversary we got two versions of the game, each representing handheld and consoles respectively. >Smash ultimate: 2018 released around the series 20th anniversary, all characters were brought back making it the ultimate smash. In japan it is called smash bros special, special edition featuring every character.
If you caught the pattern, since brawl every smash game has been released around an anniversary in the 5’s so if we go by this.
>Next smash: should be released in 2024, series 25th anniversary quarter of a century anniversary, after a game where all characters were brought back, the best thing to do on anniversary like this is to reboot the franchise.
tl;dr the next smash game should be a reboot for the 25th anniversary releasing in around 4 and a half years.
Oh remember when you guys said Banjo wouldn't get in Smash? Look how that turned out for you.
Luke Sullivan
Coming out in 2020, and is a stand alone game

That's a thousand times more sane than saying a new banjo game wouldn't be on xbox.

>Just like the Crash and Spyro remakes would be Playstation only Crash and Spyro haven't been playstation only for decades. I don't know who in their right mind who would claim that a new banjo game would be switch exclusive.
Zachary Murphy
Does anyone actually give a shit about Bomberman's games besides autismos? I feel he is very similar to Pac-Man in that people only really care about the first game and every game after is just riding on the names success of that, although atleast Pac-Man had a 2nd major hit with Ms Pac-Man, I can't think of any other Bomberman game like that. Also Bomberman is much much less iconic than Pac-Man. When it came to picking the 2nd Konami rep, Castlevania was the much better choice, I can name plenty of critically successful Castlevania games outside of the first one. Getting in as an AT isn't that bad, especially since he is 3rd party.
Nolan Phillips
Bomberman is 15 years older than Banjo though
Ian Ward
P5 should have had a slow content drip instead of pumping out so many spinoffs in 3 years. >Anime adaptation >Manga adaptation >Dancing in Starlight >Q2 >Stars >Royal
Yeah, Atlus milked Persona 4 for like 8 years and still try to bring the cast back as much as possible even after P5 came out. 5 will be milked just as long, especially since it is their most successful game ever. It's a weeb turned based game with dating sim elements that managed to his mainstream success, like can you imagine a Falcom game ever being mentioned by normie late night talk show hosts like Conan or Jimmy Fallon? Cause Persona somehow managed to do that.
Mason Young
Literally only maybe 20 minutes of the fucking 120+ hour game is any type of dating. Piss off retard.
Justin Moore
More importantly why isn't SNK in Smash? They've been in the gaming market since 1979, made countless influential arcade classics as well as some good quality games ever since they restored their brand, and a lot of shit in Smash Ultimate is inspired by King of Fighters
Connor Perez
Those 20 minutes of dating encompass like 50%+ of all it's discussion and don't tell me Atlus doesn't pander hard to that group. That P5 Valentines Day OVA that just came out was all in 1st person with Ren being completely silent so that fat nerds could self insert and pretend to kiss their waifu.
Blake Jenkins
Examples of inspiration: >Squad Strike, literally just KOF's team system >Mii Brawler's new special Flashing Mach Punch is just like Ryo's signature special Zan Retsu Ken >Sakurai used to play KOF '95 and it's implied the skill gap between fighting game players inspired the idea of a fighting game anyone can pick up like Smash
You know as a DQfag I have to appreciate banjofags, their autism pretty much make the complaints about anime swordsmen almost non-existent.
Jacob Gonzalez
They should add more anime swordsmen and cut out banjo.

I owned bomberman 64, bomberman hero, and bomberman tournament for the GBA (which had a cool zelda adventure mode with collectible pokemonesque creatures in it for some reason). Even though they were all good games it's hard to feel attached to bomberman, he doesn't have a personality and almost feels like a placeholder.

Why does all Steve merch have the beard?
Landon Watson
Bomberman's cool, but he's Konami.
Rareware was a massive part of the SNES and N64, and Banjo represents that. He originated there, under Nintendo.
Banjo coming home is like Peter Parker coming home to the MCU, despite being owned by Sony. It's magical moment for true Nintendo fans.
Wyatt Parker
>the beard Huh?
Lucas Wood
>He's an irrelevant character from a dead franchise That's what makes him perfect for Smash. Smash is like Celebrity Dancing. New characters are either there to advertise their newest games or a place where they can die in peace. If Smash is the last game Banjo is in, I'll be fine with that. But if its like Megaman, Banjo inclusion in Smash ends up reviving the series, so its a win-win either way.
Adam Brooks
>Nintendo fans Kind of breaks down when Snake, Cloud and Joker are in, who have had minimal presence on Nintendo, but large enough on the Playstations where they could they could be considered de-facto Sony characters in a similar way that Banjo *was* de-facto Nintendo. Pacman and Ryu have no specific Nintendo leanings either.
While Banjo was specifically targeted at older Nintendo fans (Bayonetta, Megaman and the Belmonts to a lesser extent), there's five third parties that's been targeted at general gaming fans.

Pit was part of a dead franchise when he was introduced in Brawl, as was Mega Man when he was introduced in Smash 4. Simon and Richter are part of a dead franchise too and they're in ultimate. No one complained about any of those characters. Hell, Pit and Mega Man eventually got new games.
Chase Kelly

Jackson Howard
>Snake He's debatable seeing that he was first introduced to the west on the NES >Cloud FF was also big on NES/SNES, but since FF7 was never on a Nintendo console until like last year, it would have been a better choice if they got someone from FF6 like Locke or Celes Not like most people know who they are anyway >Joker The biggest curve ball really. Maybe it was done because of Shuffle, but I would have much prefer if it was SMT character since that series is more prominent on Nintendo consoles
John Jenkins
Also Bomberman has 33 Nintendo EXCLUSIVES
Across EVERY Nintendo consoles, from Game Boy to Wii. Including a Switch launch title, funded by Nintendo themselves. Including Nintendo's first ever crossover, pic related.
I would much rather have Sony and Microsoft character in Smash than having Sony or Microsoft make their own inferior fighting game *Cough* PlayStation All-star *cough*

>Rayman is miles more popular then both Bomberman and Banjo How the fuck delusional are you?
Austin Jackson
So a Muslim?
Kevin Campbell
the owlfags and grinchfags never stopped seething.
Nobody really cares about the original Metal Gear games though. It was the Solid ones that made Snake a star and put the series on the map.
Cloud's an odd one since the FFs before 7 had strong Nintendo ties (I think they were exclusives, can't remember for sure), but Cloud is still undoubtedly the most known FF hero. Still, going for Cloud over Terra/Cecil seems more of a reach for general gaming fans as opposed to focusing on just Nintendo ones.
Blake Long
Why is this ordered so wrong

He's outsold both series combined. Fore more anecdotal evidence, Rayman was widely played amongst people at school (less so than Crash and Pokemon though.) No one ever talked about Banjo or Bomberman. Not sure if anyone there even knew who they were at the time, because I sure didn't.

hc smashers cant see the writing on the wall banjo was a retarded pick many more deserving relevant characters could have gotten in, and 'hero' is a dragon quest ad, they didnt put chrono or geno in because theres no potential sales in it for squeenix. this games dead and does anyone even care what the last two are?
these picks are bad and only going to get worse. wheres all the 'fucking awesome cant wait to play as banjo threads'? there arent many , and not nearly as many as threads claiming he was in, because no one wanted him in , and it was all troll bait. id rather have two more pokemon at this point. at least theyll be unique.

Isaac and Genofags got BTFO’d and shat on pretty hard so I dunno
Noah Bennett
Don't need to defend it. He's in. Sakurai said he would have been a natural choice years ago if not for the Microsoft buyout.
Luke Baker

>Konami just whores him out Konami abandoned Bomberman for years, It took Nintendo literally bringing together the original Hudson team themselves to get Konami to make the last bomberman.
Yeah so valuable that Konami had to be forced and paid for, and even then they gave it the minimum possible budget
Austin Scott
im not gay and hes a wasted slot but i would very much let this interpretation of incineroar in my asshole
Hunter Mitchell
I'm pretty sure OP is shitposting just to get a raise from people but because I have nothing better to do I will lay down some great reasons as to why Banjo Kazooie's inclusion was justified >Banjo Kazooie is one of the few 90s Mascots that are not Mario nor Sonic nor Crash Bandicoot nor Spyro that are still fondly remembered and has a great history with Nintendo. >Although it may not be seen as much nowadays, the first game alone sold more than 1.8Million in the US. Thus it ranked 10th place as the highest grossing games for the N64. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_64_video_games in case you don't believe me. Reminder: This was 1990s money, money worked very differently back then. So for the time, it was a decent success. Thus sparking a sequel which also sold relatively well. >There has been overwhelming fan demand for Banjo and Kazooie in Smash Bros for nearly two decades. Sakurai, Rare, Microsoft, and Nintendo were bound to address and look for a way to cash in on it at some point. Especially Microsoft. >In both official and unofficial polls, Banjo Kazooie was always in the top spots. Thus thoroughly exemplifying just how many people wanted them in Smash. >Sakurai did say that a major factor for a character's inclusions is if the games they're from are enjoyable. Banjo Kazooie is one of the most critically beloved games from the N64 era, they fitted perfectly for Sakurai's quota. >Microsoft and Nintendo would've been foolish not to cash in on the demand for new Banjo Kazooie content. Now that I think about it, I can now argue that making highly beloved and requested characters like Banjo and Kazooie as a DLC was the more logical, and even more ingenious business decision rather than having them in as base game fighters. And seeing the overwhelmingly positive reception from the majority of people, I'd say it payed off well.
Konami has moved it's business model away from video games of that kind for the most part.
Landon Adams
Literally one per game
Liam Perry
But GTA 5 can't be bigger than Smash Ultimate, bro. It has ULTIMATE in the name. Fuck off.
Ian Lee
You could argue that with a few characters in smash. However it is because they are iconic that they are being added.
Adrian Williams
>Actual iconic characters like Bomberman If Bomberman got in, he would be another zoner who everyone accuses of spamming as much as the Belmonts with bigger trap setups than Snake and everyone would hate him. I'm not even going to say he doesn't have enough to draw from for a moveset because you could make a pretty solid set out of nothing but the various bombs he has used thought his history but like the Belmonts, dropping and throwing them constantly would be a significant portion of his game and he'd get a shit rep for it and would probably be low tier on top of it. Do you really want to see that happen to him? Better for him to die a hero than to live long enough to become the next Smash scrub crutch.
Bentley Bailey
Caniade.
Ryder Brown
I could see an argument for Rayman, but Crash, I feel, is rather generic compared to Banjo & Kazooie being a duo. I mean, they even did their own Duo thing with Twinsanity.

Unfucking acceptable, you can't seriously defend this.
Parker James
I just want him to be in the game at all. Why would you give a hoot about what people think about your character's playstyle? Besides, most people who complained about the Belmonts were people who didn't know how to fight 'em anyways. The Belmonts almost have no "get-off-me" option if you give 'em no space to throw or set-up projectile combos.
Magnus is Square. Banjo didn’t do shit to his spot, Erdrick took it because he’s the one Square chose for their new rep.
