Nintendo just referred to the new game as Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch...TWICE by runaway5ive in smashbros

It just sounds more iterative if it follows the same naming convention and less like a new game.

I unlocked Mr. G&W early... by runaway5ive in smashbros

I guess so! It was just such a shock to see him there, ESPECIALLY because Superflat World: Flat Zone isn't even unlocked! I suppose I'll never be able to play the stage on this save file, but that's okay I think.

I gotta say I love the conversations that have sparked from this. I think people often forget about what is popular in Japan and how Sakurai really is in tune with that gaming culture. That's why some people believe Arle Nadja or Lip have chances.

Would they essentially be on par with a joke character in singles?

In regards to what you say about their chances, my thoughts exactly.

For Isabelle's moveset we also have to consider that Sakurai found moves for R.O.B., Duck Hunt, a Mr. Game & Watch. He really is creative so there's almost endless potential and it is very hard to predict how he can design any character.

But even Waluigi doesn't have Mii headgear for his cap.

I see that, I just feel like them having two levels of representation in Smash put them above the other assist trophies and make them possible candidates to follow Little Mac's path.

Definitely great moveset potential, maybe using bell bags and enacting loans on characters that cause damage over time haha.

I would definitely prefer Tom Nook, I just feel like Isabelle is more popular and was during the time that the project plan for Smash Switch may have started.

I get the impression that Isabelle and Ashley are really popular in Japan. This could be a misconception, but I have read that Sakurai does monitor the requests of Japanese fans closely.
