I did say upstir interest. Ya know the new pacman games, while multi plat, are definitely aimed Nintendo audience. Also, Pac Man and Megaman both have solid potential to appear Nintendo consoles. Does Banjo? As for the others... Would Bayo be appropriate for Smash tbone? Shovel knight!? What is his relevance to Nintendo vs the many other indy guys?  


Shovel Knight is number 1 but no is complaining about that. 

I think there is some BS this reads more like a "screw MS, i dont want anything they do to touch Ninty" not saying your post in particular. 

Now to your actual point. You cant call the game a commercial and then cherry pick two characters and ignore the other characters who dont or havent had a release in years. OR not even that relevant to Nintendo. Its a either fanservice or a commercial. And it doesnt matter if they change the look to match recent games, it makes sense to do that. Other game series update looks all the time

1. Is this a screw MS post? ..... ABSOLUTELY. MS is console manufacturer. They are the owners of Rare. They are the owners of Banjo. They do something relevant with Banjo. Not Nintendo. Why Should Nintendo do something relevant for an IP that will serve them no benefit in the future? On top of that BEFORE the actual IP owner does? Why?

2. I did not cherry pick those 2. They were picked specifically because it is known without a doubt that they were included to promote their new release. Users in this thread are acting like can not or has not used to promote interest in new release or old IPs. I thought that was well known! Of course that is not the point of game but can it be used for that... Has it been used for that? YES!!! That is the point im making.

What separates smash from other games in updating the looks of characters is that smash wil only do it with a new release. Aka. Ganondorf, pit, fox designs didnt change because they have not been featured in any new games.
