Not saying this is real but once they talked about echo fighters I instantly thought of Dixie being Diddy's. Just give her DK's helicopter spin since thats what she did in DKC2 anyway.

There are way too many rumors about Banjo being in the next Smash to not be true.

TekoIie2063d ago (Edited 2063d ago )

I dont see it being true though simply because of where the IP currently is. If it was under Nintendo or 3rd party maybe. But under MS? doubtful.

gangsta_red2063d ago (Edited 2063d ago )

MS has already let Minecraft on multiple systems and they are letting devs crossplay with other consoles.

I don't see how letting Nintendo use a character for one of the most popular games Smash be something they would be against.

TekoIie2063d ago

I don't know if that's the same though. Minecraft was on rival systems long before MS purchase the property. While Banjo is now in their possession so they have the choice as to what system the characters can appear on. I'd hope so though seeing as they're just sitting on it and doing nothing.

Only thing is Nintendo might be against advertising a rivals property within one of their own titles.

All of them

It’s amazing the amount of work developers will put in for something most players won’t ever see

strayanalog2164d ago

I actually enjoyed them all in any game I played as a kid. I remember always taking a moment in any title to see the idle animations, and truthfully I still do.

One game's idle animation not listed, and should have been, is Conker's Bad Fur Day. That squirrel had so many it was insane. I remember off-hand that he drank something, hummed impatiently, looked at a porno mag, played Gameboy, juggled, yo-yoed, and possibly my favorite, checking his watch and saying: "nope, I still can't tell time."‎
