I dont know if you guys know but in the uk version of Nintendos site there is a character hub. It has information about beloved characters from beloved franchises such as Mario, Link, Pikachu and Kirby. But here does the things get interesting. One of the listed characters is Professor Layton. And not only that,but he is the third one listed, right after Mario and Link. Yes he is before Pikachu and Kirby.
So I think this tells us that our favorite top hatted gentlemans series is a bit more popular than we think. It also tells (for me at least, it isnt officially stated or anything) that the ONLY reason he isnt in smash is because he is a third party character and Sakurai stated that he doesnt want too much 3d parties.
I would rather have Layton over Snake from Metal Gear. I cannot believe Layton was third! That is awesome. Are there other characters listed that are not playable? Layton would be so fun to play as. I hope he reconsiders and puts him in the series. Good find! ^_^
Layton only had one game (possibly two) at the time of Brawls release and he wasnt popular back then. Also Hideo Kojima (the creator of metal gear) himself requested Snake to get in ssb.
There were the kids from Inazuma eleven and Phoenix Wright as well. Layton would be my choice tho. Just fitting for the series. Phoenix Wright could work, but he had his time to shine in ultimate marvel vs Capcom 3.
I am still wondering how Shulk, a character from a series with currently one game, got in before Layton. Nothing against Shulk and I think he deserved his place therr but....why couldnt we get both xF
Yeah true ...he was quite requested tho (especially by japanese people) so Sakurai put him probably because of that. Nothing against Shulk but Layton was much much more deserving
Exactly. I still need to get Jr. Duck hunt is then the next one for you ^^
Same here. Also a fun fact: at least in three out of the games he swordfights (I may remember wrong tho) he coukd also use the slot machine gun thing from unwound future
I think he will get a new game too. Nah, I'm still getting characters. Duck Hunt Dog and Jigglypuff are calling me! I need them. I have no idea how close I am. I just started playing again and I have the rest of the day.
It along with a duck hunt dog revival are the most likely things I think Sakurai will do next... along with a third, much more unlikely alternative...but knowing sakurai who knows
I actually unlocked Dhd yrsterday. He was so hard. The battle I had against him as Rosalina was both the hardest and best match I have had in this game
Congrats! Watch out for the challenge "collect 3 unique custom outfits" as that one kept me from completing the first challenge sheet for the final level. I had to grind Smash Run! ^_^
Congrats! Now make an all Pokemon battle like I did!
You do, you have to unlock Game & Watch and complete the first challenge page! Use those hammers wisely! Most of the page is easy and involves trying mini-games for the first time, but some are a little tougher. Ask if you need some help! ^_^ The level is pretty cool, but not my favorite.
I used mine on the Homerun one too. It is a pain. Stargazing is stuck on it with no hammers left. I also used one on Classic Mode with an intensity of 3 or higher because I avoid that mode for now. The level is worth it though. Keep working at it!
It is boring to me. I just like Smash Mode really, and some mini-games are cool. Smash Run is growing on me some, but I am just too addicted to battles. I have over 200.
The other modes will grow on me, like they always do. I just always play Smash Mode first in the games until I calm down and play the others. I like trying every level and fighting!
I am straight up addicted to the game. Oh, and the enemies in Smash Run are from Zelda and Kid Icarus Uprising. Many of them are, and Stalfos was there too I believe. I become so nostalgic from that mode now.
I know! We get Dark Pit and Palutena, the Reset Bomb Forest with all of its cameos and then all these enemies. They really showed Kid Icarus: Uprising some love. I bet all this makes you want to play the game even more now.
