During this week’s Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that there is now a Fighter Ballot for Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS. Fans across the world can submit votes for characters they’d like to see in the game, and Nintendo will take feedback into account when developing new roster additions.

There is one important thing that we may have to consider if a Facebook post from Nintendo is any indication. The post below has been making the rounds lately, which seems to indicate that the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot may only be limited to first-party Nintendo characters.

If the above post is what many people are currently assuming, then Nintendo won’t be considering any third-party characters. So much for Banjo!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

It’s unlikely to happen, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer seems very much open to the idea of Banjo being included in the next round of Smash Bros. DLC.

Spencer told on fan on Twitter today:

Let’s just say that Nintendo was also open to featuring Banjo in the upcoming Smash Bros. DLC. Is that something you guys would like to see happen?

Update: Some translations of what was shared on Twitter:

We got a picture of the Splatoon Amiibos!

First, we’d like to introduce the Girl.

Those characteristic eye markings, her clear hair(?), all of these things and more have been reproduced. She’s cute from every angle… uh, um, as an example, it’s been a great success!

And so this is the Squid amiibo.

The model kinda looks like it could appear out of ink and capture territory in a second, huh?

The squid’s model is great, but the brace (the ink below) is beautiful.

At any rate, I haven’t heard of a lot of squid figurines before…

Nintendo’s ink-filled third-person shooter, Splatoon, launches on May 29th and brings along three amiibo with it on launch day. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on Thursday, Splatoon would be getting its own line of amiibo featuring three figures of the likes of Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and a Squid. You can purchase them individually or as a bundle, but the Squid is currently only available in the bundled package.

Splatoon’s official Twitter just posted a detailed look at the three figures, giving you a 360 degree impression of what the three figures look like from front to back. You can also view individual shots of the amiibo here. Check it out!
