Nintendo won by virtue of showing Smash alone.

I hope they add in a cover system, this game direly needs a cover system.

Also, it needs a romantic subplot, otherwise I fail to connect with the main character.

So yeah, we know there's a Smash 5 invitational tournament at E3.

Does that mean we can realistically expect the game to be revealed before then?

@dmcmaster I can honestly see them dropping Cloud for the new one tbh, just like they did with Snake.

@hanabi Seeing as Wonder Red is a Platinum character, he falls in the category of 3rd Party characters, no?

Also, now that I think of it, we should expect a character from either Xenoblade Chronicles X or Xenoblade 2 as well.

Honestly, other than Springman and the already confirmed Inklings, I can barely foresee which newcomers we'll have this time around.

Hoping Konami lets Nintendo borrow Snake again, or even better, Simon Belmont.

As for Nintendo characters, K.Rool (Not sure if he's own by Rare though)? Captain Toad? Whatever Pokemon/FE character from the new generation of games? I'm looking forward to being surprised... hoping they'll do progressive reveals like they've been doing for the last two games. Brawl's announcements must've been some of the most hype I've ever had on the internet.

Really not a fan of guest characters, Geralt included.

Then again, they take considerably less development time than the canon characters do, so it's not that bad, but I've really never been a fan of crossover fighters in Soul Calibur, it doesn't fit the series well.

I barely played more than 5 hours of Dragon Quest.

Paradox's DLC extravaganza is my guilty pleasure.

I'll buy any Day One, fully enjoy myself with it, and then semi-regret the fact that it's quite expensive for the amount of content it adds to their games, and then ready myself to do it all again once they start teasing the next expansion.

If that's what it takes for their games to be fully supported and to evolve over the years, that's a price I'm willing to pay.
