I've been interested in him for a while now. It'd work in an arcade where you could throw in coins all day, though).Īnyway, I hope we get Geno myself. It has more enemies, but is also vastly harder due to bad spells making you an easy target. Do!, so it makes sense why it wasn't released in Japan(note that there are some differences, including unique power-ups you can use, but otherwise is based upon the same gameplay. No clue why Brian's Journey didn't appear in the UK region, but Fantasy Challenge is a redeco of Mr. Quest 64 is among all 3 regions(US, UK, JP), Brian's Journey is not in the UK, and Fantasy Challenge is US and UK only. Quest 64, Quest: Brian's Journey, and Quest Fantasy Challenge. Then again, Black Mage doesn't either.Ĭlick to expand.Quest is a franchise. Witches don't inherently use evil magic by default. Black Magic is actually generally different in a lot of its uses, which can include stuff that isn't truly dark. Black Mage isn't really about "black magic" so much as destructive magic. His previous costume and the Mii Gunner model could be the push he needs, but I'm not putting much stock into this idea).īlack Mage and Ashley aren't much alike besides a technical theme. Why does this matter, exactly? If this is completely what we think it is, it means that Geno didn't have an easy base to use. Related to what I said above, we're led to believe Ike was used as a base to speed up the development of Corrin and Cloud, as well as ZSS used as a base for Bayonetta. This could mean less music, but then again, the DLC budget was likely low(though this isn't really why Geno is only a costume, as that's more of a case of "only so much time to make a moveset".
In the case of Ultimate, it's a matter of what content he can license off of them. They didn't during Brawl overall, mind you.
Geno has it easy because it all depends upon Sakurai and Square only, but also they clearly are okay with Sakurai using him as 4 shows.
That said, we've never gotten two characters from the same 3rd party franchise(though Cloud is more of a representative of FFVII than FF in general, but he was actually added because they wanted an FF character. Sora may be easy in a way(as all that needs to happen is Disney asks Sora's owner if it's okay and the rest is licensing agreements over what Disney and Square specific content to use). Then again, Black Mage doesn't either.Īnyway, as for Geno, he's way easier to get at this point. Click to expand.Black Mage and Ashley aren't much alike besides a technical theme.
