So does Sakurai hate Western devs? Out of all of Nintendo's biggest names, Donkey Kong seems to be a bit under represented for who he is, and across all four games, Samus was either based on Super Metroid or Other M.

Maybe he just hates Retro Studios? After all, letting Little Mac be playable was a favor that'd mostly appeal to us Westerners.
>>
He gave Rayman a trophy.
That's more Western love than I would give if I were in his position.
>>
>>257475559
>Donkey Kong seems to be a bit under represented

Several items, trophies, and two characters.

>super metroid or other m samus

Super Metroid because it was the most popular and recognizable game in the series. Other M because nintendo politics, latest game, etc. Hence the jet boots to get around how fucking stupid heels are - he avoids offending Sakamoto or some other manager.

Smash has always been biased towards the Japanese side of things.

Which explains things like:

>Samus's designs always being based on Sakamoto's games
>R.O.B's default palette being his red Famicom colors
>The inclusion of JP only characters/content like Marth, Lucas, Roy, etc.
>The exclusion of NA/Europe only characters/content like pic related
>The exclusion of the NES Zapper due to it being a realistic looking gun in Japan

And awhile we're at it,

>>257475764
Funny enough, Rayman getting a trophy makes sense when you look at it from a Japanese perspective. After all, Rayman Legends in Japan was exclusive to the Wii U and was published by Nintendo. To Sakurai, the game was probably on the same level as Wonderful 101, Chibi-Robo! and various other second party games.

I always felt like he thinks as DK or any other Mario spin-off to be part of the Mario series. So that's why they get so little.

And he's Japanese so of course he's going to be biased.

Just the first thing that comes to mind whenever I think of American-Only Nintendo series that never got referenced in Smash at all.

The only west only game I can think of that actually got referenced in Smash was KI Of Myths and Monsters (Pit's design on the boxart was a sticker in Brawl), which ironically Sakurai would ignore when writing Uprising's storyline (Even though it did get a release in Japan through its VC on 3DS).

I just checked, did Monoeyes seriously NOT appear in Brawl's SSE? I could have sworn I saw them in the section where Mario and Pit meet.

A bit, but from for most of the Items/Enemies, they were created in Uprising, so they are almost on the same level as the Smash original stuff like the beam sword or the laser gun.

I think you're comparing memorable first levels to an unmemorable first level. Orpheon is just where you start the game, but it's not particularly iconic aside from that, just another set of mechanical hallways. In Prime threads people more fondly recall Phendrana Drifts, the Tallon IV jungle, the Metroid Prime crater, etc. Maybe Sakurai assumed it was like those other tutorial stages, but the game didn't really open up until you hit the planet. Not every first level is the automatic best choice to represent a game.

>>257476175
I'd like a Sunshine/64 stage for Mario
A side scroller stage for DK
another Fire Emblem stage
final battle stage from WW and Ganons castle from TP for Zelda

some Pikmin stage
a side scrolling Kirby stage

Seriously, so many stage ideas, yet they only add like 1 or 2

Ehh i never said Frigate Orpheon is not based on Prime and i don't have anything against a stage made out of a tutorial level, in fact is pretty iconic.
I was pointing out Prime games need more recognition, and not in every game the first level tends to be the most iconic, you logic has exceptions, a lot.

I liked 6. It has one of my favorite hard modes in the series, because enemies are really tough but not absurdly so like in the newer ones.

It does get really reinforcement-happy later in the game though.

You whined about only having one Metroid rep so Sakurai made Samus into two ahaha, that's all you're getting.

>>257475559
Because nintendo considers the Prime games a spinoff series.

Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong both have their Rate/Retro designs. Also Rayman is getting a trophy, and the kremlings are in game. K. Rool is likely to get a trophy Fighter or not. Dark Samus is an Assist trophy, And there are bound to be a lot of Prime and DKC trophies regardless.

I hate that smash fans think that if a series doesn't have a character rep that nintendo hates them. Seriously fuck you and whoever else does this.

Uhhh... who the hell DOESN'T remember the frigate? It may be the tutorial but it's still a pretty important piece of the game. It sets the entire tone of the game all in the first 20 minutes. Here you are on this derelict vessel and all around you are signs of something gone horribly wrong before you got there. You feel entirely alone because the crew is all dead or close enough to it and all around you are smashed specimen containers, corpses, and escaped parasites already making themselves at home. It's creepy and foreboding and the records left flickering on the monitors give an increasing feeling of intrigue as you explore the and learn pieces of what was going on and figure out what this is leading up to as the game progresses. Then after being attacked by the parasite queen and successfully fighting her off, she falls into the reactor and sends the ship into an unstable self destruct where you need to make a hasty retreat, only to bump into a revived, rebuilt nemesis on the way out.

Seriously, how the fuck did NONE of that level leave any impression on you? The opening act is always one of the most important parts of a game and it obviously had to make SOME impression on you or else you probably wouldn't have bothered to continue and it would be a universally panned segment of the game. I think you're just trying to build some shitty strawman to justify your anger that all of YOUR favorite things aren't making it into a game that's trying to please more people than just YOU.

...What? Have you even made a game?

He just seems so childish to me. The whole 'for glory' mode just feels like a passive-aggressive, deliberate misunderstanding of the tourneyfag playstyle, when Final Destination isn't actually the only stage tourneyfags play on. I'm not even particularly mad about Waifu Emblem having four reps or Wii Fit Trainer being in, and I was never going to play on For Glory mode anyway, but he just looks so juvenile making these decisions.

Choosing generic areas ain't exclusive to those franchises. We're getting like a dozen Mario stages and most of em are grassy hill levels. We're getting a Delphino Plaza reskin of the starting town for the new Zelda stage.

It's pretty clear that, when it comes to stages, Sakurai's more concerned with attempting (usually in vain) to represent the whole game rather than a specific area. So we just get whatever area is most likely to be known from that game, and that usually amounts to dumb stuff from the first five minutes.

Which fucking DKC stage takes place on bamboo platforms over white rapids? It's like Sakurai thinks DK=tropical. He didn't even bother to rip any assets, the lazy fuck.
>>
>>257507632
Melee's stages weren't really as directly taken from anything as the ones from Brawl and 4. Metroid's and Zelda's stages certainly didn't look like any real area from either game, they were more like rough approximations of what things from those games look like.

DK's Brawl stage was based on an area from a DK game, it's just a shitty stage and it wasn't a Rare game so no one remembers it. I'm sure his Smash 4 stages will be based on things from Returns.
>>
>>257476175
Honestly, I'd move the banana and hammer to mario.
The original Donkey Kong was more about Mario/Jumpman than DK and the bananas in smash are for tripping like in Mario Kart rather than collecting like in DKC
