Nintendo customer service rep says fans can “submit any video-game character” for Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 144 Comments
If comments from a Nintendo customer service representative are anything to go by, fans should be able to submit “any video-game character” for the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot. That would include third-party characters, which some thought weren’t be an option with a recent Facebook post from Nintendo.
Here’s what the customer service representative wrote to one fan:
Thanks for writing to us. I can certainly understand your interest in if third-party characters are eligible for the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot. I want to assure you that you are able to submit any video-game character for this ballot. While we are unable to guarantee your suggested character will become a Super Smash Bros. Fighter, rest assured, we do take all feedback into consideration.
I never consider what’s said by a Nintendo customer service representative to be the final word on anything, but this is certainly encouraging!
Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot may only be limited to Nintendo characters
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 155 Comments
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.
Xbox boss likes the idea of Banjo being included in next Smash Bros. DLC
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 56 Comments
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:
@PedroDarkinson I think it would be cool if Banjo was in the next SSB DLC. We've worked with Nintendo on Rare IP before, no issues.

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?

Takamaru was considered as a playable fighter for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 105 Comments
Yesterday, a short video surfaced in which Masahiro Sakurai stated that Mewtwo DLC for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS was nearly finished and will be released “pretty soon”. But that wasn’t the only significant piece of information shared by Sakurai.
According to Sakurai, Takamaru from The Mysterious Murasame Castle was initially considered as a fighter for the new Smash Bros. entries. Unfortunately, he didn’t make the cut due to the perceived lack of familiarity among Nintendo fans. This took place before development on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS actually began.
We’ll also mention that Sakurai is aware of the crazy Miiverse requests for fighters, like Goku and SpongeBob. Naturally, there’s no way such characters would make it into Smash Bros.
