Good evening everyone and
welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.
After Nintendo’s epic Nintendo Direct session (which I’m still trying to get over the fact that Cloud is now going to be in Super Smash Bros Brawl 4), my brain started thinking about a few things. Call them conspiracy theories or fan theories if you will, but these were some ideas that were bouncing about in my head after last week’s Nintendo Direct.
-With the addition of Cloud, will we get other Final Fantasy characters? Granted, we cannot have a Super Smash Final Fantasy Bros Brawl 4 because clearly that would be too long of a game title and there are more Nintendo characters than just Cloud. But hear me out on this: since we have Cloud, wouldn’t it be incredible if we also obtained Sephiroth? In SSBB4, we have characters that appear as hero and villain: Mario and Bowser, Link and Ganondorf, Kirby and King Dedede, Sonic and Shadow (temporarily). So why not throw Sephiroth into the mix? Besides, it would be fantastic if we could replicate all of his moves and his final form could be his Safer form from FF7.
-We already have a Chocobo costume coming for our Mii. However, our Miis are able to access costumes featuring those in and out of SSBB4. With this being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if our Miis were able to obtain Cloud’s hair, costume(s), and Buster Sword. This also opens up the question of possibly obtaining more Mii outfits from other Final Fantasy characters like Moogles, Sephiroth, or even Tifa.
-Could Cloud be the winner of the Nintendo Brawl Ballot? The Brawl Ballot was designed for people to send in their votes of who they would like to see in Brawl. It wouldn’t surprise me if one or more persons suggested Cloud and it wouldn’t surprise me further if this were the case.
-Since we are getting Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow for the Wii U, does this mean more old Pokemon games will be making a comeback to our updated systems? If so, will this mean the return of Pokemon Snap? After all it was mentioned at Nintendo before that this could be a possibility. I would suggest the Pokemon Stadium series, but I believe they are playable on the Gamecube which in turn can be played on the Wii. Perhaps though, they could bring back the original Pokemon Stadium from the N64 to the Wii or 2/3DS.
-As far as I’m aware, Linkle will only be available for the 2/3DS version of Hyrule Warriors. With this being the case, will she also be available as DLC for Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U? Also, will we get a costume based on her character in SSBB4?
-Nothing wrong with the character herself, but why Linkle for a name? I mean I guess it’s cute, but they could have maybe named her Linkla, Lady Link, Linkara, Linkette, Linkkorra, Linkola, or anything that doesn’t sound like a lovechild between Link and Tingle.
-CROSSBOWS.
-The new Wolf Link amiibo can also be used for the new Legend of Zelda premiering next year. This makes me wonder if Link will once more be reverting to his wolf form (he would have to be in order for the amiibo to work I believe), but also the return of Midna. After all, she was the one who rode and controlled him in this beastly form. If she is to come back, how would she be incorporated in the game? The Mirror of Twilight was shattered by her in Twilight Princess, thus preventing the realm of Twilight to emerge. Unless they repeat what they did in Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U and have the timelines merge together, allowing for new characters to pop up and be usable.
