TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[TomGuycott]

People wanted Prince Sablé...? Even if they wanted him, after Takamaru getting the cut that would be very unlikely

Apparently in Japan people are sad over his exclusion. Not sure if the good Prince is their equivalent of how Waluigi's assist trophy status was here in the states, but suffice it to say if I was Japanese and a fan of oldschool Nintendo I'd be kind of disappointed to have two characters confirmed to be only Assist Trophies in two weeks in a row.

I mean, I'm not that surprised they aren't playable given their lack of attention by Nintendo since their inception, but I AM happy to see them at least as Assist Trophies. If there is another Smash sequel in the future, there's always a shot for an Assist to be upgraded into a playable character, and having them here can spark interest in their respective series as well.
