While we're talking about Hyrule Warriors, you know what blows my mind? It'll be the first new appearance of Ganondorf since Brawl. He's really been on the backburner as a character for a while now... which makes me think he's almost justified keeping his Captain Falcon moveset.

He's been in Windwaker HD! PLEASE GO WITH THAT DESIGN SAKURAI
Actually, any design but TP Ganondorf would be good. TP Ganondorf is too old looking.

 

[Kriken]

...Is this just your thing now? Post nightmare fuel pics before PoTD?

 

[Toxi]

Where in any Zelda game is there a been a character named Dark Link that has that design? Just like all the other pallet swaps, that's just a pallet swap that's a nod to Dark Link

Wouldn't it be the exact same with Ms Pac-Man?

Besides, I'm talking about characters that are 100% separate characters like Ms. Pac-Man. Almost every character has a dark version of themself that's technically a different character.

Ms. Pac-Man is Pac-Man with a bow and lipstick. Call her what you want, but she's not particularly distinct.

Ms. Pac-Man is so hot

It's the hooker boots that get me

Bring back Ganondorf of Time

I want them to start calling him by his full name

Ganondorf Dragmire

I remember reading that in Nintendo Power and doing an antoniobanderas.gif before that was even a thing

That name never really fit the Ganondorf we got later. It sounds too mundane and medieval-european-fantasy.

 

[Loco4Coco]

When will you guys stop activating Sakurai's trap cards?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

What if it's Lucas?

 

[DecoReturns]

I'll laugh if the next veteran is Lucas

 

[MrSaturn99]

I don't know man. He said a lot of the things i've been pondering for a long time now. There is just a really weird way he is handling Ridley compared to well... Everything else in the game! Doesn't have to mean he's playable but at this point I just can't believe he will be Pyrosphere's Yellow Devil.

It's late so pardon me if I don't elaborate on anything necessary.

Anyway, see, I get this, and I actually agree it's weird he hasn't been shown yet. But like you said, it doesn't actually have to mean anything. Remember when Sakurai dismissed the delay of Meta Knight's Brawl profile as being "for some weird reason"? Granted, he was confirmed long before that, but it's the same idea.

It really is just nothing more than hysteria at this point when people are still analyzing five-second footage and coming to the conclusion two months later that he's somehow magically a playable character when there's a big honkin' "Boss characters" sign right at the bottom. It just marks off credibility points in my book.

And like others have pointed, the tone in some of his comments is just...yeah.

 

[Anth0ny]

k rool tonight

Ganondorf has a last name? What the hell? I've never knew this, though to be fair I've never really played a Zelda game but still, mindblown.

 

[Jintor]

this is the only way i still feel alive

 

[Aβydoς]

I hate when that banner disappears.
Brings so much disappointment.

Yeah, I've always liked his full name. Sadly Nintendo doesn't seem to remember.

Ganondorf has a last name? What the hell? I've never knew this, though to be fair I've never really played a Zelda game but still, mindblown.

It's mentioned before he was even shown actually.
In the manual for Link to the Past

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Pretty sure it's a continuous trap card.

 

[MrSaturn99]

What if it's Lucas?

 

[hughesta]

New pic of the day confirmed.

 

[GamerSoul]

Rouge the Bat alt for Sonic.

She would be a Knuckles alt tho.

 

[Omzz]

It's nothing

 

[Neiteio]

Hell yeah he does. Nintendo Power and the official Player's Guide said his name is Ganondorf Dragmire. His proper title was King of Thieves. This is referring to him before he became the King of Evil, of course.

 

[Amazeballs]

She would be a Knuckles alt tho.

Knuckles is too big for Smash. Haven't you seen the Sonic Boom pics?

 

[Tan]

What if instead of a classic sonic alt, it's a sonic boom alt.

 

[Tripon]

It's not going to be K Rool.

If get a new villain, it'll be General Scales from Star Fox Adventures.

 

[Boss Doggie]

it's time!

 

[Kyzon]

Also called Mandrag Ganon meaning Ganon of the Magic Thieves or something

 

[Kriken]

Spoiler

Sonic seems perfectly fine here

 

[Feltrol]

It's not going to be K Rool.

If get a new villain, it'll be General Scales from Star Fox Adventures.

As much as I would like too, he never had an appropiate boss fight and the fact that Krystal would be the perfect newcomer for Star Fox.

By the way, Sakurai's been running late these past days...

 

[Kriken]

Pic of the day. Mega Man.EXE and Mega Man Volnutt!! They only appear for a split second, but the modeling is so detailed. And if that's the case…!

...How can we not use it for trophy creation?! Today's update is a rare mix of Wii U and 3DS images in the same post.

Spoiler

Sorry for stealing your job Tony, you can have it back

 

[Tan]

that sucks

Mega nothing!

MEGAMAN CONFIRMED FOR SMASH, ZOMG!

I thought this point was always brought up and it has never delivered. Seems they just remove them after some time.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Its Shulk!

 

[NeoTurtle]

I thought it would be something, but it turned out to be nothing.

 

[Feltrol]

It's nothing.
