I've actually been a bit underwhelmed by this wave of DLC. Banjo Kazooie are the only ones I'm really interested in. Cool that there would be more though. Kind of wish they'd add a mix of third party and Nintendo characters, but that doesn't seem to be the way they're going.

I'm happy personally, I'm more of a fan of the third party characters. Nintendo characters are already well represented.

I guess it's not necessarily about third party vs first party. I was very excited for all of the third party characters from Wii U. It's just that I don't love the particular characters they chose. Never played Persona or DQ and am only familiar with Terry from Capcom vs SNK.

Not saying that these are bad choices or whatever, just that my personal tastes are not being catered to. Sakurai really should have consulted me.

Haha, i can see your point, I guess for me they're all good choices. Even though I've never played Banjo I recognize the name, so that's good enough for me. But everyone will always want different characters. Id love to see Rayman, Lara, Crash and Spyro. Those are some legendary characters they're missing.

There's not really a whole lot more they can do with Nintendo characters without, say, dipping into Fire Emblem and putting in characters like Byleth or Edelgard, and Fire Emblem already has outsized representation in Smash. Or dipping into extremely obscure Nintendo characters. As for third parties, I think the ones they have are cool, with Dragon Quest and now Terry Bogard coming. I'd like to see some Tales representation in Smash, since it's co-developed by Namco. Maybe Lloyd or Yuri. Colette would work in interesting ways in Smash. Virtua Fighter or Tekken would be nice.

Somewhat predictable (heh), but still a cool addition to the roster. Glad that SNK gets more recognition these days. I kind of want some SNK related items for the Miis like Metal Slug outfits.
