@jswhitfield8 Interestingly, I distinctly remember reading an interview in a Nintendo Power mag (can't remember which issue, I'll have to find it again) where they pressured them about the timelines after WW came out and they adamantly stated that none of the games to that point had any connections. They even stated that MM was NOT a sequel to OoT and that they had no intention of ever connecting the games. You are the first person I've found to say exactly what I've been trying to tell people. The Historia was purely a marketing gimmick by management to sell whiny fans another "thing" because they whined loud enough and demanded their "fanfics" be cannon. Meanwhile the director just slammed his head down on the desk. I don't care that it exists, I care that they had no spine and caved in to a lame marketing ploy that would forever bind them to some broken and lame back world story plot. XP
Honestly, this type of catering to all the whiny fans out there is precisely why Nintendo is tanking financially in the first place. Like, why the heck do we need a dozen versions of the DS? Half a dozen versions of the 3DS? "It's too big; it's too small; I want a camera; why isn't it more like my phone?" Meanwhile all of those hundreds of millions of dollars in redesign/reengineering/development/marketing thrown down the drain when it could've manufactured 5x more amiibos or funded 4+ WHOLE games' development. I'm sorry Nintendo but you're doing it wrong. ;P
I hope that first and foremost they finally balance the characters properly. Jigglypuff is down right pathetic comparatively, there's still some broken move sets, that and Cloud/Bayonetta taking top tier by a landslide is rediculous. It was to the point where they were both taking top crowns in most tourneys. That'd be my only wish/complaint.
As for character additions, I would very much like to see Isaac from Golden Sun (or Felix from GS2 as Isaac is already an assist) Tails from Sonic, or a Tales of Series character like Cress from Phantasia, Lloyd from Symphonia, Yuri from Vesperia (my personal choice X3), etc. Shadow as an echo for Sonic would be kinda cool too. I mean I know a disc can only hold so much data which is a detail a lot of people forget when making demands about what should be in the game (a million characters + 30 modes + have 1000 stages lol) but that's what dlc is for. XP
As for characters like Lucas/Pichu/Wolf/etc I suspect they will be given moveset makeovers which is why they are not slated as echoes. Also, I personally will not miss Link's Hook Shot grab lol, though I imagine Toon Link will still have his. I look forward to seeing if Young Link will be more MM based like in Hyrule Warriors. The mask theme would make an awesome skill set + FD Link as final smash maybe. P:
