This is Mii Wara Wara

Go turn on your Wii U and view it! Why is Roy on the icon of Smash Bros in Mii Wara Wara?

Too lazy to take a picture of it, upload it on imgur/etc, and tie it to this post. Just view it on your GamePad and press X.

Why is this a thing?

Can't argue with this.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Oh I thought it was a recent change. I use quick start menu and off screen tv a lot so I never noticed!

I think Ryu should be on the icon instead of Roy if it helps unaware fans to check out the latest DLC characters

when the second DLC wave was released, it also brought a huge Miiverse update that added a separate community for every fighter currently in the game. posts made in those communities show up during matches on the Miiverse stage to cheer on their respective fighters. the reason Roy shows up is due to popularity and people have been posting a lot on the Roy Community. only the most popular communities show up on the Wara Wara Plaza

Oh wow I didn't know they did this! I always wondered how the Miiverse stage worked. Thanks for the explanation!
