What's the difference if I buy the next Wii tennis game and it has generic characters, or if it has the familiar characters that I've grown up with? There's nothing wrong with including familiar characters into a game to make it more appealing...

What if Smash bros, rather than having loved and famous gaming mascots, had a bunch of random people we never heard of before like -

Ray Thunder - throwing lightning bolts and slamming the ground to make thunder roar
Sasquatch Steve - Huge arms, big attacks, slow
Danny Destructo - Uses various bombs and explosives


Does this lineup of characters seem more appealing than using Mario, Sonic and Link?

There's no problem in using familiar characters - especially when they are used as a staple of quality.

This point that's often brought up... I've never understood it...

There is nothing wrong with it inherently, but it's also nice to get stuff that's new, too. Imagine if Disney did animated films the way the Muppets do theirs - we'd get Mickey Mouse starring as Tarzan, Goofy as Aladdin.


That IS how Disney does it now... or will anyway. Ever since their New IPS stopped selling. I mean, they are suddenly making sequels to ever single Disney movie that's existed. Crossovers and crazy stuff like that are sure to be coming soon. Heck they even have spinoff movies now. They'll probably make a Kingdom Hearts movie.


 And don't forget the Disney Princess line. They're whored out just as much as Mario.


Yeah, i was thinking of those too... no clue how those work though.  Are those outright crossovers or just two movies in one?  Or like 2 hour features in one?
