Between Microsoft's as far as I know rare frankness about being OK with Banjo in Smash and MS's equally unprecendented partnership for Minecraft on a Nintendo console (post-buyout), I'd a bit surprised if a MS rep doesn't get in. We've never seen console manufacturers team up like this- not only is a rival company's game on Nintendo's console, but it's a Nintendo tailored version.
The big questinon, of course, is who they would pick. Banjo would be a smart choice, given he's been asked for since the original and is a Nintendo All-Star in the truest sense of the world. I wouldn't discount Steve from Minecraft, though, even if it's just a stage.
tl;dr I feel like Banjo and Minecraft are a bit different than stuff like Master Chief and Kratos. Hell, i'd say they have more Nintendo cred than Richtor.

Twenty years. It's been twenty years, more or less, since K. Rool last menaced the Kongs. Sure, he's had some appearances since then, but none really measured up to the Rareware games. I've been waiting for K. Rool since Melee and it's paid off.
Just waiting for the remix of Gangplank Galleon to be posted now. It sounds great!

I'm glad someone remembers and . Always thought they had great potential.

A lot of folks are jazzed about the Neo Geo Mini, and with good reason, but I'm more intrigued by the 40th Anniverary Compilation. I love compilations like this that really introduce me to games I've never heard of.

I think you're right on Zelda, and I'm not sold on Ridley at all. I personally don't think it's based on anything; I included it just because the image did. When we get clean pics of the palettes closer to launch I'll remove it.

Simon Belmont Appearance: Based on classic American NES design, specifically the NECA action figure.Series logo: The stylized C in the classic logo.Colors: Japanese design circa Castlevania Chronicles (Red color), Richter Belmont (blue color), Soma Cruz (white color) Standard attacks: The bulk of Simon's attacks use his whip, Vampire Killer. Much like Lucina's sword, the sweet spot is on the tip of the whip, making him more dangerous at medium range and more vulnerable up close. Standard Special: Axe: One of the classic sub-weapons from Castlevania, Simon throws an axe upwards in an arc Side Special: Holy Cross: Simon throws a crucifix forward. It can be angled upper or lower, similar to Link's boomerang. What separates this from that move is that it can be thrown through walls, allowing you to damage enemies otherwise untouchable. Up Special: Whip Grapple: Drawing inspiration from the grappling in Super Castlevania IV, Simon casts Vampire Killer in a diagonal up direction, latching on to ledges similar to Samus' grapple. Down Special: Holy Water: Simon throws a vial of holy water. If it hits the ground, it leaves a puddle of sacred fire, causing damage over time to anyone standing on it. Careful use of this move allows the player to control where enemies can stand safely. Final Smash: Hydro Storm: this is an idea from before Ultimate changed how Final Smashes worked, so bare with this out of date idea. Simon causes a rainstorm of holy water, dealing passive damage to anyone caught in the storm. The player can control Simon as normal, allowing you to focus on Smashing enemies off screen without worrying about dealing damage.

REmake 2, Fallout 76, Spider-Man PS4 and Smash Bros. were the standouts for me. Lots of good stuff in the pipeline.

Donkey Kong is arguably more interesting from a raw legalistic sense, what with the lawsuit and all that. IT's also got the stuff showing off the completionist aspect of the Arcade Archives with the various modes.
But Sky Skipper is the one that's really interesting. I'll certainly pick it up when it comes out. Wonder if we'll get any nods in Smash this time around, sense it's been such a interesting part of Nintendo's history recently, with the preservation and stuff.

Green: The Hero of the Wild set from BotW.Red: The Hylian tunic from BotW.Grey: Still Fierce Deity Link. Blue: Looks like the Royal Guard uniform from BotW.

Rumor has it we're getting another character revealed at the Smash tourney, so y'all keep your eyes peeled.

I totally agree. I'll eventually right out some full thoughts on DK64- I feel it's become a super underrated game.
I'm taking a break from Tooie, waiting for a hdmi adapter. A podcast I dig covered the Tupac/Biggie murders and taht got me in the mood to go revisit GTA San Andreas in the meantime, and man alive. That game holds up great.

Picked up Banjo-Tooie on the N64. First time I've played it since release. I still dig it!
