✨pop🎈idol✨okay but really: Minecraft is way more culturally-relevant to actual kids than Joker from Persona 5 or Banjo and Kazooie are. I understand if you're salty that your fave didn't get a slot but please understand that jaded thirty-somethings are not the actual market for Smash
Fringecrow@hystericempress Honestly this is kind of why when someone went "I wish they'd gone for a better character like Master Chief or Conkers" I couldn't help but go "WTF???" because it's hard to find something MORE relevant than Minecraft out of all the IPs Microsoft owns these days.
@Fringecrow like, we already got Banjo-Kazooie from them, too; they tend not to go past double-dipping on third parties. two Capcom entries, two Microsoft entries, two Sega entries, two Square-Enix entries. I'd say we're much more likely to see something from Namco.
@hystericempress Honestly, yeah. Like, of all the IPs, Banjo(which actually had solid ties to Nintendo) and Minecraft(which is, you know, Minecraft) were perhaps THE two Microsoft IP that had any chances of being there.
Master Chief was never in the race IMO, let alone Conkers.
