Wow, what a coincidence, since we've been talking about AC characters...I suppose this still doesn't rule out the AC character...though I still don't see how the AC player character would make for a good fighter.

It could be interesting.

1.  Tools to use like Ness's bat (fishing pole, axe, and bug net, shovel) that would be used randomly with a smash attak.

2.  The ability to pull random furniture, gyros, items, shirts, fish, and whatever out of your pocket and hurl them at your enemies.

3.  The ability to produce from your pocket your own stash of fruit to replenish health.   

4.  A swarm of bees could lift you up for a up B jump. 

5.  Final smash:  A bunch of white sheet halloween Animal Crossing friends appear and pummel all your foes, paralyzing them momentarily, and drop their candy as they exit leaving it for you.  (Pummel my paralyzed foes or eat candy to replenish health?)

Lots of potential there.

I wonder if he'll give the brawlers random statuses? Like putting them to sleep and so forth.

From the sound of it, the appearance of Mr.Resetti will disable other Assist trophies while he's on the screen?

As far as Smash's franchise size, it was the best selling GC game above every single title you mentioned as bigger except Mario Kart. Of course if you count handheld games then I think it goes Mario > Pokemon > Smash > others.

If you count handheldgames, Smash Melee is behind Nintendogs and Pokemon by a factor of 2, behind two different Mario and Brain Age games, and behind Animal Crossing. Smash might have been Nintendo's #2 franchise behind Pokemon 5 years ago, but things have changed.

Well, let me put it this way: It's unfair to rate smash below those handheld games when Smash doesn't have a DS incarnation.  The DS boosted all of those much higher than they would be on any other system.  As far as home platform IPs, Brain Age and Pokemon bombed on the Wii and although AC is big it's not Smash big.  In the home console world Smash is still Nintendo's second biggest franchise.


It's unfair to rate Smash above those handheld games just because Smash doesn't have a DS incarnation.

It was those games that boosted DS, not vice versa. Hardware does not push software.

Brain Age isn't on Wii, and Pokemon is just an expansion pack for D/P.

And yes, AC is bigger than Smash. Check the sales. Brawl may give AC:WW a run for it's money, but that would only makes Smash AS BIG as AC.

The point is, Nintendo doesn't have to rely on Smash like MS relies on Halo.

BTW, hilarious update. Awesome that he mentions Kirby and Pikachu by name. Funny pictures, with all the fighting going on as he just stands there talking.

And I just realized he's called Mr. RESETti because he appears when you reset the game. Wow. I feel smart.

What if the animal crossing character can be modified using the mii editor...since the AC creator and the Mii creator are the same...now of course this is speculation upon speculation, but it could be interesting.

To add to nap and Erik's debate, Smash has sold better then Animal Crossing. The franchise has sold ~10million (give or take as there are other gamnes missing) while Smash sits at ~12million.

Also, awesome update.

Create a character functionality?  Naw, that's just crazy talk.

Erik Aston on 26 September 2007

Well the Duck Hunt franchise has sold better than the Smash franchise. But in terms of what's biggest right now, AC:WW's 8 million and counting is pretty impressive.

If you asked people in Japan or Europe which is bigger, they'd look at you funny. Wild World has outsold both Smash games combined in both regions.
