Okay, so I heard Nintendo is doing that Skylanders figurine thing recently, but I read today that it's going to be used with Super Smash Bros. If that's true, that is going to be the biggest nightmare. Also, they're hardly introducing any new characters. Lucario and Ike should have been replaced, but they're back. I'm getting a little worried about this game now.  

Tired of all these gaming companies trying to piggyback off others' ideas just because they're "popular"...

Is there not a hint of originality in these grown adults' brains?  

Still surprised to see king dedede back.  

Diddy Kong, Ike, Marth, King Dedede, and Olimar?!?!  

Im surprised to see Mario and Luigi back.

Gaming is expensive as it is today. Online subscriptions, internet costs, games, and downloadable content. Now I have to worry about Nintendo using that pirate method of making money by luring us to pay for figurines.

I think they're bringing back as many old characters as they possibly can so people will buy the figurines for new characters. That's bs though if they plan to use it. It makes me not want to buy the game anymore. It's what stopped me from buying Disney Infinity.  

That 3DS version tho

also we don't know if the figuines are for actual characters or for cosmetic things such as skins or costumes. There are many things it could be for really, Imma just wait till e3 when they most likely will go into more detail before getting angry about something that I know nothing about lol  

Those figurines can go to hell.

Nintendo's made it clear that the figurines will each me applicable to multiple games, so they don't need to release any massive additions to SSB to justify the prices of the figurines.

That being said, how hard is it to fake these figurines?

I have confidence that Nintendo wouldn't outright ruin a franchise such as Smash Bros. with a money-grab necessity such as figurines. Maybe you can buy them to unlock characters faster?

I hope you're right about that. I've always had a large amount of respect for Nintendo and I would hate to see them ruin the game with these figurines. I'm hoping they're just trophies or something of less importance. Right now though I wish they would add some new characters. I don't count little Mac since he was an assist trophy before.

Who we really need is...

People whine about cookie-cutter characters like Marth vs Roy, Luigi vs Mario... when I don't get it. I mean they're not characters to brag about adding, but I didn't quite see the reason in removing them. Why not just keep them and have a large roster and give people some choice/variety?  

I just want my Ice Climbers back.
