Dulfite said: I feel like the best way to handle it is to keep the core Nintendo characters, but scrap any outdated Nintendo/3rd party characters and replace them with current gen characters. |
I was going to say this too.
Mario
Pikachu
Samus
Link
Kirby
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Fox
This is the original 8. It represents what was popular with Nintendo at the time.
A new 8 would look something like this:
Mario
Link
Current release Pokemon
Current release Fire Emblem
Splatoon
animal crossing
Kirby
Xeno
Only focusing on what is going on with the current Nintendo/industry would bring in a lot of different and fresh IP's. Also I think limiting the each IP representation to 3 max would be a good move too.
