Why don't Yoshi, Wario, DK, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Kirby have more reps?

I thought they deserved more reps than what they got.

  • Metroid: the "Sonic" of Nintendo. Started out GREAT, then went to games like Other M Wario: That's a good question BUT you can't say Waluigi since that'd be a Mario rep and Ashley (only legit option) is an assist trophy DK: Only option is Dixie, Cranky or K.Rool and ONE of the 3 is a dead character while the 2nd is BEST as a semi-clone Yoshi: WHO ELSE Animal Crossing: WHO ELSE Pikmin: WHO ELSE

  • Yoshi: Kamek and Birdo. Animal Crossing: Resseti and Isabelle. Pikmin: Alph!

  • Yoshi: Birdo, yes. Kamek? ECH! Animal Crossing: Not iconic enough and we already HAVE the entire AC cast & moves with Smashville & Villager Pikmin: A 100% Olimar clone that's already an alternative outfit

  • Alph WAS gonna be his own unique character but they made him a costume instead for some reason.

  • Also FE should have had 2 more characters in Melee and Brawl since they're popular in Japan.

  • He was gonna be one of the 3 most nonunique clones (Lucina, Dr.Mario, Dark Pit) then was swapped out as an alt. by one of the 3.

  • Also FE would deserve 6 characters since it's popular in Japan. Lucas proves that he cares about Japan too since his game is Japan only. But why didn't Melee and Brawl have 4 or 5 reps like Mario and Pokemon did?

  • Fire Emblem was only popular in Japan at the time

  • In Japan was it as popular as Pokemon and Mario back when Melee and Brawl came out?

  • I guess all the "the more successful the franchise, the more characters it gets" stuff isn't true. What do you think?

  • I would argue about including Simon Belmont from the Castlevania series, but that's not a Nintendo franchise. It also doesn't help that Konami's days of making video games are deader than Dracula, and show no sign of being resurrected any time soon!

  • DK, Metroid and Kirby -fully agreed. Yoshi -ehhh. If Kamek wasn't part of a stage, he'd be cool addition IMO. Pikmin -Not really much to do here. Because the crux of the franchise is covered. They could separate Olimar and Alph, but they would be semi-clones at best. Animal Crossing -don't know much about it, but I think Villager rounds it up so well there's no room for another. Wario -well.

  • Warioware isn't that big, but not small either. Could get 2nd rep actually. Probably Ashley or Kat & Ana.

  • Also I recall you saying in the next SSB game Olimar should be removed

  • Well, I don't use him a lot, but it is possible that Sakurai just picked characters from SOME of the successful franchises because they'd be good fighters and he's never considered other DK, Kirby and Metroid characters.

    Yeahs0

  • But Dixie Kong was considered for Brawl and Sakurai didn't put her in this game. DK needed more characters.

  • ...Just because one guy doesn't play as Olimar doesn't mean he should be removed

    Yeahs0
    Played
  • Nah, if Sakurai WANTED to remove Olimar like that, he would've NEVER made his trophies in Melee, and kept him over more popular characters (Wolf) in Brawl

  • Alright, but some people still believe franchise success matters.
