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

[Vipershark]

Regardless of whether that's happening or not, I honestly don't see why people are making so much of a big deal over the guy who made the series in the first place and has overseen the development of all the titles in the series wanting to include more stuff from other games he directly worked on/created and that have a lot of fan pull over series that are less popular.

Like, I realize that having a well-rounded cast is important but despite the fact that Donkey Kong was one of the first Nintendo games, do you really think it's going to have priority over things like Mario, Kirby, or Zelda? Not to mention the fact that the majority of DK fans are fans of the original DKC games (which Nintendo didn't even make (and considering the issues with Rare and licensing characters and stuff from that IP, they likely don't care about anymore)) despite DKCR and Tropical Freeze, it's kind of obvious why DK isn't getting as high of a priority.

I realize you (and some others) love DK, but it's quite simply just good business sense for Nintendo to make content that caters to much bigger audiences of much bigger franchises, because in the grand scheme of things, nobody really cares that much about Donkey Kong.

edit- Pointing out the bold/underlined part above again, Sakurai made Smash Bros. It's basically Nintendo's biggest property now and is guaranteed to print ridiculous amounts of money no matter what. Sakurai directly caused Nintendo to make LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY. Do you really think that Nintendo isn't going to let that person have a lot of leeway and do what he wants?
