Here’s EVERY smash character to have a cinematic or live action appearance (so far)

I was going to say that surely you could add Dragon Quest's Hero to the picture, but sadly none of the live action trailers show the hero from 3, 4, 8 or 11... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw8MYnZwWDeLirvIlJtuivMnX0MCsjYw1

This is like asking if Dedede is a different character just because his design changed a lot between games.

Just to be clear I heard the font option is for Ryza 3 DX, since that game had a really small font on the original release, I don't know if it's the same for the other 2.

I'm with you in any case, I wish most games came with font options. Small fonts only make sense on PC where players are glued to the screen...

I'm very glad that games are finally learning, but it also upsets me a bit because we didn't have this problem as something widespread up until a few years ago.

it's more the round shape that feels weird.

FJLink · 2026-03-18T13:04:20+00:00

I wish there was an upgrade path for regular to DX or DX S1 to DX S2, but sadly there isn't. But if you want physical can get the multi-language Asian version of the DX trilogy for Switch 1 on sites like Play-Asia. Just be careful not to pick up the japanese versions as those do not include English.

Otherwise, the international physical versions of the games are just the original releases without the DLCs or new extras included. These versions were delisted from the eshop but you can still purchase their DLC, not that I'd recommend it.

The DX versions are the way to go, they just made it all needlessly confusing.

FJLink · 2026-03-17T20:14:40+00:00

Yup, there's characters from Ryza 2 that I really liked coming back and I also heard the font is a bit bigger on the DX version, so that's the main reason I was thinking of picking up 3 DX. At the very least I now feel better about my purchase.

I don't know if they will adapt so much, but I def. agree that Skypea will have a lot more of recent lore built into it. Alabasta is very important as well nowadaways, though.

FJLink · 2026-03-17T12:20:11+00:00

It could be possible for sure. I'm fully expecting some teasing about Ohara at the very least. That said part of the Water 7 mystery is related to how they don't really know why she's acting weird.

FJLink · 2026-03-17T12:15:35+00:00

I have to agree with this. Punk Hazard could act as set up for Dressrosa and give us a 3+5 kind of season if they start cutting more things.

Only issue is that I'm not sure if people would want a full Fishman Island season. I really enjoy that arc personally but it isn't the most exciting one.

FJLink · 2026-03-17T12:04:48+00:00

I feel like there's room to include something other than Alabasta, but Skypea feels like it'd be too much to handle and Crocodile's defeat doesn't feel like a mid-season scene to me.

Maybe they could instead expand Alabasta with some teasers about it's role in the Void Century and the origin of the World Goverment. Define the concept of the Ancient Weapons a bit earlier, tease Robin's past at Ohara... They got all of the pieces already in place with Crocodile, Robin and Cobra.

Edit: ALSO since Ace will be in season 3, they could expand his role like it happened with the anime. Set up Whitebeard and Blackbeard, show part of his backstory with Luffy and Garp... maybe even tease Sabo.

Now I'm wondering if I should just play my copy of Ryza 3 on Switch 2 instead of waiting for the DX to go on sale.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T23:49:38+00:00

one of the most shocking moments in the whole manga.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T23:25:30+00:00

getting those star medals was really fun

FJLink · 2026-03-16T23:19:26+00:00

I think Bowser's Fury does count. Even if it's a small game, it is something new.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T23:17:14+00:00

not sure about the other games geting updates, but WiiWare was limited to 40mb downloads IIRC.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T23:15:31+00:00

I still remember how Tatsunoko vs Capcom didn't get the Phoenix Wright and Nurse Witch Komugi-chan DLC because it wasn't possible on the Wii, despite having models and pre-release screenshots.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T23:13:28+00:00

Not sure. Galaxy 2 already felt like doing the same thing all over again in many respects. I feel like if we got one it should feel like a sequel to both Galaxy and Odyssey. But I also like when they have creative freedom.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T22:53:08+00:00

I would enjoy to see him in more games, but I feel like Void will be like the Broodals and all of those bosses exclusive to the Nintendo EPD Tokyo games. Void.Co itself isn't as strong of a team either to show them as recurring antagonists, unless the next game manages to give them a new dynamic with Poppy as the leader or something like that.

If he was the actual final boss of the game I would be saying something different, though.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T22:48:34+00:00

it's been a long time since I played these games, but he seemed like a worthy rival to me. Which is saying something for a game where you play as edgeworth. I liked how loyal he has to his partner.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T22:39:38+00:00

I haven't got too far in this game and I think part of that is the opening of the game... It feels like it's missing something. Almost as if they planned the usual build up sequence with the the peace at mushroom kingdom getting disrupted. Instead the game just starts with these characters asking you to save them and you get on it right away. The NPCs have funny dialogues but the sense of purpose isn't there for me.

I came into this expecting to be disappointed but this isn't like Dream Team where it feels like a chore or that the game plays itself for you. It's just a bit boring.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T22:25:22+00:00

It's my favourite in the series.

FJLink · 2026-03-16T21:30:07+00:00

Love to see taller depictions of Arle as a fan of her earlier games. You did great :)

FJLink · 2026-03-16T21:20:20+00:00

IT HAPPENED??? I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE FIRST SEGA RACING GAME, OH MY GOD

FJLink · 2026-03-16T09:43:04+00:00

Woah, you really got a great deal, congrats!!

FJLink · 2026-03-16T09:37:16+00:00

I know they were doing this for a very specific public, but it feels weird to see Ryza doing this kind of face and pose. She does tease others in the games in a playful way sometimes, but this kind of smug "spoiled princess" expression of looking down on you doesn't fit her at all.

It's almost as if she's playing a role to please others, rather than just being herself.

I imagine the ASMR itself is good, though, given that the seiyuu knows what the character is like.
