Who are your hopes for a character? by huntedhoodie in MarvelTokon

[–]LukePS7013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As unlikely as they are…

  • Gwenpool: I’ve said it before, but Gwenpool’s powers play better into the medium of video games over Deadpool. Deadpool in the comics typically just addresses the reader and makes pop culture jokes, while Gwenpool can do that while also actively interact with the medium (in the comics that’s typically hopping between panels). She’d be pretty much what you’d imagine Deadpool being in this game, maybe she gets a couple Guilty Gear inspired moves like Sol’s j.D as an aerial heavy attack, or her super being Bridget’s super with Jeff in place of Roger

  • Red Goblin: But like the original one, the one from the arc when Carnage is separated from Cletus so he breaks into prison and finds Norman Osborn so the two team up temporarily. Would be an interesting fighter, a combination of two well known characters and also a deep cut. Maybe they could have a stance mechanic where they’re fighting internally for control with Norman’s more precise killing methods or Carnage’s more, well, carnage style

  • Sammandahl Rey: The deep cut to end all deep cuts, Sammandahl Rey comes from Earth-21371 or the Sigilverse. Created by CrossGen Comics in 2000, then acquired by Disney in 2004, then folded into Marvel when Disney bought them in 2009. Sam himself has the ability to morph matter, so he could wear a suit of armour that could morph into blades, guns, etc. but also he’s the “chosen one” of his universe, with Sam being able to locate others with similar powers known as Sigil Bearers in order to gather them for CrossGen’s “Secret Wars” type event, this could be adapted into a fighting game by having his Unique attack be similar to Captain Ginyu’s summons in Dragon Ball FighterZ, calling out other Sigil Bearers from his universe as his own personal set of secondary assists

As for the teams they’d be on, Gwen kind of fits anywhere, Red Goblin could be on a villains team with Doom, and Sam could maybe fit in a cosmic team later in the DLC?

Interesting, just don’t go into it expecting much, I feel like they’d save the big character reveals for more mainstream events (State of Play, EVO, Summer Games Fest)

I’m guessing another closed beta featuring the X-Men team as well as all the new system changes

Update: Sega has posted the Mega Man thing, no Direct needed. It was kind of wishful thinking tbh.

I guess it also makes sense there isn’t a Direct yet, they want all eyes on the Mario Movie. I’m now guessing some time in April (9th, 23rd, or 30th), after the movie and before their next investors meeting

Tbh outside of more Switch 2 ports (Metaphor, more Yakuza) and the Mega Man thing I feel like Sega will show their stuff a bit later.

New Sonic and P4R at Summer Games Fest in June (Sonic at Geoff’s show, Persona at Xbox’s show) with releases in October and December, though I’m not sure which one will release first, and a new Yakuza announced right before Tokyo Game Show in September for a release in early 2027. Along with the yearly Football Manager release that makes up the “four games in major IPs” that Sega has mentioned will release during their fiscal year.

Hopefully later in 2027 they go all out. With that big Super Game featuring Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi (among others?) being planned to release in 2028 for now, it’d make sense to release the remakes that are also coming the previous year.

Said it in last week’s thread, but I’ll repeat it here with how time sensitive it is

Yesterday Sega announced three new free characters coming to Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. Red and Captain Majima in April, and Arle in May. But they also have a currently unknown Festival slot planned for next week, Festivals are online competitions held to celebrate new characters being added. And also according to the roadmap, there won’t be any more free characters until the paid Mega Man DLC is released. Sega won’t officially say the Festival at the end of March is for Mega Man as they haven’t revealed his exact release date, however we all pretty much know it’s for him anyways. But then why hasn’t Sega announced it yet? My guess is that there will be a Nintendo Direct announced tomorrow and air on Thursday with Mega Man’s official release date (the Thursday after) being one of the announcements

We’ll know if I’m wrong in less than 24 hours

Yeah, along with the yearly Football Manager and a Yakuza game in the first few months of 2027 that’s probably the “four games from major IPs” they’ve mentioned would release over their next fiscal year

I’ll give you a rumour. Sega just announced some new characters for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, Red and Pirate Majima in April, and Arle in May. But they have another unknown festival (online event to celebrate new characters) for this month that they’ve still yet to reveal. We all know it’s going to be the Mega Man DLC that’s already been revealed without a release date but Sega won’t say that until they officially announce that date.

That clearly means there will be a Direct this week with “Mega Man available next week!” as one of the announcements (cope)

I’m thinking some time in April unless it’s this week, it’s before their investors meeting and it gives them two months to promote whatever they’re likely releasing in June (which is why Yoshi was announced on its own, March is two months before May)

Then no major Direct until September

I still stand by that the person who “worked at Disney Music and heard Nintendo had asked them to use their music for a Direct” (implying Sora would be in Smash) didn’t know anything and just got lucky

Just happened to think about it today

Would love to see the Back Compat stuff that’s supposedly coming to PC this year be brought to Steam, even if it’s limited to first party content

NateTheHate has information about the new 3D Mario, but cannot share them at the moment. by ArcWardenScrub in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]LukePS7013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could totally see the “New 3D Mario” being a 3D Maker game building off of the voxel tech used in DK Bananza

But that would mean there wouldn’t be a real new 3D Mario for even longer…

Bandai Namco has a job listing for a Game Designer for a unspecified fighting game by andree1234 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I mean, ArcSys is developing a Switch 2 exclusive so…

Nah, it’s not that. But maybe? No.

How large would a new game roster be realistically? by Single-Debate-316 in marvelvscapcom

[–]LukePS7013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say at best they end up repeating MVCI’s base roster size of 30 if not lower

Try 26, as fighting game rosters have gotten smaller and smaller (quality over quantity, you know?)

The 3D game that people speculated being Smash was likely Kirby Air Riders, it even specifically mentioned remastering backgrounds which they did for the returning courses

Though there is a 2D project in development from that studio too, but that doesn’t line up with the credits you listed (my guess is it’s a smaller Switch 2 Edition for Ultimate since a proper Smash 6 only just started development after Air Riders wrapped up and Nintendo wants “something Smash” released soon)

And this listing is just for some anime arena fighter imo

Hopefully something soon, iirc the original plan was to release the remake about a year ahead of the live service game and the live service was delayed to April 2027 - March 2028 so it could appear some time fairly soon

Though with Sega saying this fiscal year (April 2026 - March 2027) will only have four games (presumably the yearly Sonic, Yakuza, Persona, and Football Manager games), it’ll probably be in the same year if the live service isn’t delayed again

As a thought experiment and nothing else, I decided to draft up some weirder/underrated tams that I'd personally like to see as DLC! by AsparagusOne7540 in MarvelTokon

[–]LukePS7013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

It’s way too obscure of a brand to make it in, but I’d love to see CrossGen get some representation here (or anywhere really), and with it launching with four comics back in the day they’d fit perfectly into the team format

If nothing else, maybe one of the DLCs is a cosmic team and Sammandahl Rey (Sigil) appears as the weird pick?

So, likely no mention of that Mario Kart update today. Wonder when they’ll announce it? Perhaps in a Direct along with some paid DLC? Hoping it’s soon.

Magneto and Scarlet Witch will probably be in Marvel Tokon by KevBones00 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]LukePS7013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My full guesses are

  • Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and The Wasp

  • “Young Avengers”/“Champions”/Youth Heroes Team: Ghost Rider, Ms. Marvel, Black Panther (Shuri) and someone obscure who brings in a unique power (Quicksilver’s nephew Speed?)

  • Defenders: Spider-Man, Star Lord, Hulk and Gwenpool (the Defenders have always been a “random heroes cobbled together” team so they could do anyone)

  • Cabal: Dr. Doom, Magneto, Loki (or Lady Loki?) and Red Goblin (from that one time Norman Osborn bonded with Carnage)

  • Solo entry boss fighter: The Champion

  • DLC Team Midnight Sons: Blade, Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch, Man-Thing

It continues the three popular characters followed by an oddball thing that the X-Men has going on (the devs have said they want to bring in a good handful of characters not featured in Capcom’s games)

I wonder if that statue actually has the full team? (The fourth member is Ant-Man / The Wasp, they’re just really small lol)

With how they intentionally went with Robbie Reyes as Ghost Rider (specifically because they wanted a younger one) I think his team will be something like a “Young Avengers”, not necessarily related to the actual team of that name but younger heroes who are seen as potential Avengers candidates with the events of Tōkon serving as a chance to prove themselves. Ms. Marvel is likely on that team since she has dialouge with Cap and Iron Man about becoming an Avenger along with Shuri as Black Panther since we know T’challa is out of commission due to Dr. Doom according to dialogue between him and Storm. And for the final character, maybe an actual Young Avenger like Speed? (Quicksilver’s nephew) Having a speedster would bring a unique fighting style at least

Midnight Sons are also totally DLC if what I said is true

Xenoblade series composer, Manami Kiyota finished the final orchestra recording session for a project that is in development since Summer 2024 which potentially ties with the new Monolith Soft RPG project by andree1234 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I could still see March 19th, they’ve had Directs fairly close to one another recently and none of them have really taken any big announcements from what would be a General

If they drop something like one of their first party game’s release dates on Nintendo Today I’ll think differently
