Smash should have stayed first party only...

Smash should have stayed first party only, the intrigue of new characters that weren't very recognisable were always far more appealing than adding all these third parties that don't usually don't fit in with the rest of the characters, like Joker and Snake and whatever SNK will add.

I'm still waiting for that one third party that actually makes sense in the sense of a collaboration with Nintendo or having worked with them previously to make a game that was a success in the most recent years that doesn't feel like marketing push and more like authentic genuine care over a character rather than just for either nostalgia points, fanservice or pushing a game yet to be released.

no luck asides from Banjo and even Banjo was something like twenty years ago. Dragon Quest should have been in years ago, not now when the composer has gone asinine proprietary of his own compositions enough to only give MIDIs just because he was afraid to lose sales on his orchestral CDs

I feel like a lot of the third party characters have been REALLY cool to see, but we're getting to a point that the impact is lessened.
They could stop with third parties forever at Banjo and I wouldn't be heartbroken
(I'm talking purely new third parties, not adding to existing ones like SEGA/Capcom)

Am I blind or is Saki not in op's pic?

If we didn't have third party characters the roster would be more bloated with Mario, Pokemon and Fire Emblem.

Technically Saki isn't, but the character next to Lip is Saki's son. Same reason why Karate Joe is missing with the Chorus Kids present. Also, is OP missing an ARMS character?

Sonic you dumb fuck.

>Nintendog
>Disaster Day of Crisis man
>No ARMS or Saki
???

Nah we are already at serious risk of scraping the bottom of the barrel on first parties.

I don't mind whatever Sin and Punishment rep we'd get, I generally love that series and I hate that Saki got removed as an Assist Trophy. Also, can't believe I forgot an ARMS character, I must be high.

You say that like Ice Climbers, Pit and Wii Fit Trainer weren't all "scraping the bottom of the barrel". Fuck off, all these characters are far more interesting than some of the third party stuff we've gotten.

the only first part reps i want are saki and captain syrup
but since they're already pngs, i'll be rooting for crash bandicoot

They had the same thing with Cloud so I think that it’s more a problem with SE.

my fucking nigger
they didin't even bother to add one fucking s&p track

IC and Pit I'll give you, even though the latter spawned a pretty neat game, but wasn't WiiFit a very successful game?

>all these characters are far more interesting than some of the third party stuff we've gotten.
First of all, false. >Disaster Man
Secondly, there are a whole lot more third parties that are far more interesting than some of the third party stuff we've gotten AND most of your pic.
So my honest question is why lump every third party as uninteresting and why does a character being Nintendo make it automatically more appealing to you?

I agree.

Why do zoomers wear their lack of knowledge about video games as a badge of pride on a video game image board?
>literally who? Hehehehe

Reaching back into the obscure recesses of Nintendo’s history has always been one of the core points of smash as a series.

I honestly can’t believe how badly Advanced Wars has been done over. They even removed the assist trophy. Why? The Wars series has had over 10 games, and yet somehow doesn’t make it in to any degree outside of spirits. Meanwhile we get Ice Climbers, THREE fire emblem awakening characters and Pirahnah Plant. I’m not saying I’d want any of those characters removed - I’m just saying that it’s indicative of how little of a shit Sakurai and Nintendo as a whole give about AW.
