MMGN: Captain Falcon? Captain Falcon is from F-Zero, the racing game that helped launch the SNES. Nintendo wanted him to be a flagship character, a kind of representative of their new console, but he ended up fading into obscurity. Yet for some reason, he appears in every iteration of Super Smash Bros. This, I posit, is the highest grade premium bullshit.
He's like the rich kid whose parents weaselled him a spot on a prestigious team. What I'm suggesting, here and now, are some more deserving video game characters who should be given a shot at being the 36th playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Brothers. Here are my nominees.
Game developer Hideki Kamiya talks about Bayonetta in the Smash Bros. games.
All of the Super Smash Bros. games are incredible, but which one stands as the mightiest of them all and has the best modes?
To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.
I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.
Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.
5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While the future of Smash Bros. has been uncertain for a while - whether Nintendo will build on Ultimate or bring us a new entry entirely - within all likelihood a new Nintendo system still means something new for Smash Bros. is on the horizon, and that something will almost certainly include new fighters, however many or few. While this might be the gaming article equivalent of putting up Christmas decorations in October, it’s never too early to start speculations when it comes to Smash Bros. before two thirds of everything inevitably gets leaked ahead of time. Keep in mind that this is not a list of predictions for future newcomers, though a few could perhaps fit in that same category, but rather a small list of the characters that in this writer’s humble opinion are overdue an appearance in the gaming crossover to end all crossovers."
Sorry, but this is not an excuse for these bad character choices. Falcon is iconic. Deal with it.
Falcon is one an original to the game and not only that but one of the best/funniest characters on the game.
I'd say they should replace WFT with Captain Falcon in this opinion piece. 7_7
There are only two possible explanations to the conception of this article:
1) He's misinformed, which is (should be) a no-no in journalism.
2) He's smoking something really strong.
Really? Captain Falcon is an obscure character? Bulls**t character? Come on!
Rage for not being in the game > Rage for being in the game.
Mr. Game and Watch, Ike/Marth, Ice Climbers and Pitt, were all way more obscure characters when they entered the series.
