Most people may have never heard of Captain Rainbow, and for good reason: His only game, the predictably named Captain Rainbow, was never released in the States. And like Majora’s Mask, we also just got the HD version of Twilight Princess, so she’s still fresh in player’s minds. Smash has had quadrupeds before (don’t forget about Ivysaur!), so putting Midna on the back of Wolf Link with her plethora of hair-based powers could work. She showed up in Hyrule Warriors, but it’s time for a larger role for the impish Twilight Princess. Midna is, hands down, one of the best characters in the entire Zelda canon. Midna (riding wolf Link) - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess And given we just saw the 3D re-release of Majora’s Mask, it could make sense for them to revisit Link in such a fashion again.ġ2. Goron Link, Zora Link, and Deku Link could all then be playable. Bring in Link from Majora’s Mask, and let him switch between wearable masks. We already have a few versions of Link in Smash Bros., but Zelda is one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises, and there’s a cool way for them to use Link that could give us three playable characters, not just one. Morphing Link - The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask But now it’s time for this ‘dillo to roll his way up to a slot on the character selection screen.ġ3. His game was a lot of fun, and he even showed up in the most recent Smash as an assist trophy. The cowboy-hat wearing armadillo was another one of Nintendo’s eShop creations for the 3DS. Plus, he’s already dressed for the occasion. Just because he starred in a puzzle game doesn’t mean he can’t throw down with the best of them. The cute and cuddly Sumo-wrestler from Pushmo, I was a bit surprised that Mallo wasn’t included in Smash Bros. Given we haven’t seen a new Advance Wars game in some time, Andy might be a long shot, but if Smash is going to include 50 million Fire Emblem characters, it should give at least a little love to one of Intelligent System’s other series, shouldn’t it? Like Golden Sun, Advance Wars is another Game Boy Advance-era title that can’t seem to break out of second-fiddle assist trophy status. Brawl, so using Lillie could work, with her being able to rotate through the Alola starters. My vote? I actually liked how they handled the Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. roster, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a new ‘mon from the most recent games make the leap to the arena. Pokemon is already taking up a lot of slots on the Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U as costumes, and are also showing up in the Switch’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition, so this one is pretty much as close to a ringer for inclusion as they come.ġ7. They were already added in Super Smash Bros. Of all the characters on the list, Nintendo might face the biggest fan revolt if the Inklings from Splatoon don’t make a multi-colored splash into Smash. Robin’s inclusion on the roster has already shown that magic-based characters can work in Smash, and it’s time for Isaac to shine. It’s time to bring Isaac back as playable character.
But for some reason all mentions of Golden Sun, trophies included, were stripped from the most recent Smash Bros. Brawl, where the Psynergy-wielding adept of Golden Sun fame appeared as an assist trophy.
Even worse, Metroid as a series still only has one character - two if you count both versions of Samus, I guess - in its Smash Bros. The draconic nemesis of bounty hunter Samus Aran keeps getting the shaft and showing up in Smash Bros. Hold on to your Mario hats, because here’s 20 that deserve a chance to duke it out with Nintendo’s all-stars. So yes, we have a few suggestions.Īt this point, are there any new characters even still left? Oh, there’s plenty. doesn’t end up getting ported over to Switch, another Smash game will come out eventually, and that game is going to need some new characters. Who will it be this time? Will it just be returning veterans, or will brand new characters get their turn to fight? And even if Smash Bros. characters is renewed.Īnd that means it’s open season on speculating which characters could make the cut. With that, the possibility for new Smash. for Wii U/3DS, has long ended, rumors have been swirling around the Internet-osphere about a Smash Bros. No matter how many Nintendo characters get smashed into Smash Bros., it just never feels like enough.Īnd while the release of downloadable, add-on characters for the most recent entries in the series, Super Smash Bros.
