Iconic characters but they are more niche nowadays compared to their SNES Days. anyway yeah he's popular character within Zelda Fanbase and Smash fanbase. Apparently this man back in the day beat Everyone in a Fan Poll once, though there was speculation that it was botted. The 3d Era games put GTA on the map, and CJ was the game that really blew up the world, i guess.įan Favorite: Skull Kid. Grand Theft Auto is one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time. I believe the creator is trying to make another game. Slender is in that grey area with Geralt and I'm not gonna touch that right now Anyway his game blew up on Youtube in the day, and kinda more recent too. Unlike Slenderman, he started out as a Game. Had to put her somewhere.Ĭlick to expand.I'm gonna try to use Characters that aren't Speculated to heavily nowadays, or characters I usually Talk about (so No Shadow) It's still promoted by MonoSoft and Rex is a popular request, especially in Japan. XC2 sold surprisingly well for it's position, and helped Xenoblade break out of it's cult classic status. Similarly, SNK's games were big influences on the fighting game scene and arcades, and yet they're not as popular beyond Latin America and the FGC. Touhou's huge, and yet it isn't well-known beyond Japan and the doujin circles, leaving her to be passed over as a prospective rep in favor of Shantae (And probably Shovel Knight too, had it not been for the AT). Despite this, they've remained popular picks well into Ultimate's era (Though the AT did but a dent in Isaac's support). Release in the late 90's/early 2000's era, an arguably improved sequel that's lesser-known, and a divisive 7th-generation sequel after a hiatus. The guy's pretty much a first-party Banjo. Plus, he's discussed a lot lately, so he seems like a pretty safe choice for this spot. He was the PlayStation's mascot back in the day, even if he isn't owned by Sony, and he'd bring back the old console wars. Nier: Automata was a smash hit and the breakthrough of both Platinum and Yoko Taro, but doesn't have a Switch port yet. They do not have to be upcoming or in the past decade, either, nor do they have to be first-party. Note that you can't do a character who would promote a hypothetical release It has to be an actual game. The Promotional Pick-A character from Switch-exclusive game.Bonus points if they aren't usually associated with Nintendo (Note that this character doesn't have to be completely overlooked, given how much speculation has expanded lately) The Darkhorse-A character who's iconic yet niche, and is usually considered unlikely as a result.The Fan Favorite-A character who's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, or at least hasn't seen much time in the spotlight recently, but is a popular pick regardless.The Legend-A character from a massively popular and influential classic, much like the previous third-parties (Sans Bayonetta).The Outsider-A popular character, preferably from a modern smash hit but has little to no Nintendo appearances.The Wild Card-Pretty much an excuse to do whatever, since FP2 has an extra slot.Also note that supposed obstacles in their way don't count here because of how unpredictable the choices for FP1 were, so Assist Trophies, Western companies, mature content, etc. Note that they don't necessarily have to be in release order.
Let's make an FP2 that mirrors FP1, with each slot having an equivalent between passes.
