Maybe something to note about Unlockable characters, in these menu leaks we can see Sonic, Pac-Man, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Toon Link, Lucario and maybe some others show up in button "icons."

I know Brawl had Sonic and Snake on the Box and they were Unlockables but I don't remember them being spoiled ingame? So potentially this time around Sonic, Lucario, Toon LInk, Luigi, etc are starters.
 
Neither Kirby nor Donkey are up for debate. Kirby sold over 33 million units, Donkey Kong is firmly over 40 million.

Sure, if you count DK's entire 30 year history. But if you compare since 2002 (Metroid Fusion/Prime) things are a lot different. For the most part it's been a few poor selling spin-offs, and in fact the best selling DK games outside of Returns were the GBA re-releases of the original DKC games. DK's a more storied IP that Nintendo owes a lot to, and it was once pretty massive, but if we're talking modern times it's really not a major IP franchise anymore. Returns sold a shit-ton, sure, more than the Prime games combined, but given TF's sales it's almost certainly an anomaly rather than a return to form.
 
Not feeling this new Green Greens rendition.

Mario & Luigi music is always great. I haven't played Dream Team though; how does it stack against M&L3?
 
Man, 90's marketing was weird.

I have some old issues of Gamefan that have that in them. I believe it was scratch-n-sniff too.
 
Woah new music!

Yoko Shimomura does not disappoint with the Dream Team arrangement.

Green Greens sounds really great no matter how it is re-arranged. I'm excited to hear the new Gourmet Race track if it'll be in.
 
I swear, I think the Kirby theme...didn't it play during the session about new Kirby's moves?
 
That Green Greens remix sounds incredibly familiar, and not just because it's the same Kirby song they always remix.

Did we hear a bit of it in the Smash Direct or something?

EDIT: God damn it.
 
We already know not all tunes are tied to stages.

Also technically Smash Run is multiplayer as well.

Well we're not talking about technicalities. We all can agree that there is nothing of value in locking away, say, a Mario tune from use in stages. To make it unavailable is to arbitrarily lock content away that would only make the game better.
 
I think I'm at this point now where I feel way more excited for the daily music update.

This isn't to slight PotD or anything. Just the music in this game is

so good
 
Uh the artist (group?) at the very top of the music composers list is credited for Xenoblade Chronicles.

How long has that been there? LOL
 
Did some quick research on Nintendo's top Franchises. I wish it were more complete but data for other series was more difficult to find.


1.Mario- 445 Million
2.Pokemon- 260 Million
3.Wii- 193 Million
4.The Legend of Zelda- 68 Million
5.Donkey Kong- 54 Million
6.Kirby - 33 Million
7.Metroid- 18 Million
8.Star Fox- 12 Million
9.Animal Crossing- 7 Million

Some takeaways

-Mario may be overrepresented but with numbers like that its hard to argue he doesn't deserve it. Even if you limit yourself to just the Super Mario series its still Nintendo's best selling series at 262 Million Units sold
-The big three are Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda, although the Wii series sells better its seen as a casual series so usually isn't counted.
-Donkey Kong is definitely bigger than Kirby and Metroid, and is firmly planted at the top of the "A tier", if the big three make up the "S tier"
-Surprised to see Star Fox does so well
-Animal Crossing numbers are impressive given the age of the series
 
That Dream Team battle theme is sweet, I got to play this game some day. I even liked PiT so I'm not worried if it's worse than BIS.

Honestly, the only theme I'm somewhat disappointed in is Spirit Tracks, I prefer the original arrangement :(
 
Man, PotD night not as fun or crazy anymore it seems. How disappointing. It was fun watching some of you guys go crazy like that one time where Emcee had to lock the thread becuz you guys were losing it. I think it was before the music PotD.

Speaking of PotD, who going to post random smash PotD like Sakurai when the games come out? I know I will for like a week or two lol.
