...Exactly how many franchises/games haven't been represented in SSB yet and which ones are they? Problem here is what you consider "representation". A lot of them are represented through stickers, but for me this is a bit of a cop-out. Also, do you include the Famicom Medley as appropriate representation? Anyway, the list of series not represented in any way (aside from the Chronicle), and that are entirely Nintendo properties are: Alleyway Arm Wrestling ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat Backgammon Battleclash Clubhouse Games DS Rakuhiki Jiten (DS Handwriting Series) Endless Ocean F-1 Race (not including 3D Hot Rally) Forest of Beginning (Hajimari no Mori) Galactic Pinball Gumshoe (US/PAL Only) Happy Panechu HeliFire Hogan's Alley Jet Impulse Kurikin: Nano Island Story Marvellous Mole Mania (Treason!!) Monkey Magic Picross Play Action Football (US Only) Polarium Project Hacker Radar Mission RadarScope Shigesato Itoi's Bass Fishing No.1 Short Order & Eggsplode (US Only) Sky Skipper Solar Striker Space Fever Space Firebird/Demon Space Launcher Star Tropics (US/PAL Only) Sutte Hakkun Tabi no Yubisashi Kaiwa Chou DS (DS Phrasebook Series) Teleroboxer Theta Time Twist To the Earth (US/PAL Only) Tomato Adventure Touch Panic True Swing Golf Yuuyuuki I think it's safe to say that the major franchises are represented, and it's perhaps unrealistic for all of the above to be represented (given that some came out during development of Brawl, and others just don't have the content). But there are a few in there that stand out. Mole Mania, Yuuyuuki, Tomato Adventure, Time Twist... these are big, character-driven games that could have had playable characters, assist trophies or trophies. Many of the others could have been stickers, trophies, assist trophies or been represented with stage music. 3D Hot Rally is actually part of the Famicom Grand Prix series. The full title of 3D Hot Rally is "Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally". Battle Clash had a sequel titled Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge, which was released in the U.S. and PAL regions only, due to the Super Scope not being successful in Japan. Even though the names are different, Metal Combat's plot takes place after Battle Clash and some of the characters from Battle Clash returned in it. I think True Swing Golf is part of the Touch! Generations series. The Color TV Game series would of also been nice to see in the SSB series, as well as some of Nintendo's toy line. |

I doubt we'll ever see any US/PAL only games represented in the Smash Bros series. I think the only way they are ever going to get in is if the director/lead designer is a western game designer (as opposed to Sakarai who is eastern). |

3D Hot Rally is actually part of the Famicom Grand Prix series. The full title of 3D Hot Rally is "Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally". Actually, 3D Hot Rally doesn't really fit into any classification. Famicom Grand Prix is a sweeping title for the competition disks, and means no more than Famicom Mukashi-Banashi as a series. Really, Yuuyuuki and Shin Onigashima are separate games, just as 3D Hot Rally is so different to F-1 Race and Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race that it shouldn't really be considered part of the same series. Battle Clash had a sequel titled Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge, which was released in the U.S. and PAL regions only, due to the Super Scope not being successful in Japan. Even though the names are different, Metal Combat's plot takes place after Battle Clash and some of the characters from Battle Clash returned in it. Yes, I'm well aware of that. This list is covering the SERIES that haven't been represented. BattleClash hasn't been represented, it's on the list, and by extension that includes Metal Combat. I think True Swing Golf is part of the Touch! Generations series. Again, Touch Generations isn't a series. It's a label for games targeted at non-typical markets. The Color TV Game series would of also been nice to see in the SSB series, as well as some of Nintendo's toy line. True that. Although how exactly would that have worked. Ultra Hand giving you one free rescue from a fall, perhaps? |

Ultra Hand could've been an all-purpose tether recovery that also functioned as a weak battering weapon.
PS: Fry, earlier today I thought of making a sister topic for this for people to list the franchises that are in SSB, thus preventing any more useless posts here (and because I need these lists for.... a certain purpose).

You must have a vivid imagination, TV Eye.  The real reason I wanted these lists was to further that Nintendo RPG that you're all tired of hearing about. Captain Rainbow made me think of it again. EDIT: Actually, it would probably just be easier to post that other list here in this thread since I'm the one who needs it so badly. |

(and because I need these lists for.... a certain purpose). 1) Get list of Nintendo games 2) Minus Fry's list of not represented games 3)  4) Profit! Doesn't seem that difficult. |

I'm guessing I should just take the list off the main site? Last time I looked it was missing some recently established series.

Oh, my mistake. Let me be more specific. I doubt we'll ever see any US/PAL only games represented in the Smash Bros series. Elite Beat Agents was in Brawl.  |

Maybe you should make your own thread about it. Just a thought since most of the threads were "generic idea". This way, you have your own thread. |
