Nintendo and Ubi had a partnership early in this gen. Rayman is a character who appears on Nintendo platforms and fits in fairly well alongside their mascots.
It's not zero reason, even if you don't personally care for him.
I know Rhythm Heaven itself was mentioned, but it has to be Night Walk; it feels the most condusive to being a stage, and although it'd probably be a scrolling stage I'd love it! Especially if the only gimmick is the bouncing squares.

But Friends of Nintendo has never been part of Smash before. It breaks pattern and has no precedent. Is Ray Man the only character like this? Are there more?
I've never experienced the game in English and I never want to. Part of why I bought the games was for the Japanese audio.
Sorry, just noticed the avatar quoting possibilities. Seriously, though. I wish EBA sold well...
Smash thread should have a list of methods to unlock the characters but spoiler tag the name i.e.
: Clear the first level of Adventure mode with a 2 at the end of the timer.
Because you know there will be some annoying methods like that which you can't really look up without finding out the character at the same time.

So when you gave the Japanese title earlier you really meant you bought the Japanese version? The PAL version has Japanese audio.
More importantly why didn't you keep it forever?

I'm still sticking to my idea of a Rhythm Heaven stage being a Remix that changes depending on the music that would play for the match. No, I haven't yet thought of a way of how that would work.
I didn't know that EBA would have turned out to be the best DS game! I'm part of the problem. D:
Sonic? Snake? It's new and different for it to be exclusively in trophy form (though we still don't know if that's the only place he pops up), but it's not totally out of left field to see other company's mascots in Smash.
That's a pretty fantastic idea. I'd love to know the obscure unlock methods without actually knowing who's in the game.

This is the first time I've ever been avatar quoted. You and I are now bound eternally.
I refuse to acknowledge that they gave the PAL version such a ridiculous name, so I just use the Japanese title instead.

There should be something like that within the menu options of the game.
Rayman Legends (where the trophy is from) is published by Nintendo in Japan, so it's technically a second-party game over there just like Wonderful 101, Custom Robo, and a ton of other featured IP. It's unconventional for the rest of the world, but Smash Bros. is a Japanese game.
Similar to why I call the series Rhythm Tengoku because it's the only constant. I mean we went from Rhythm Paradise (why?) to Beat the Beat (again why?). The PAL names really are random. At least the yanks got the correct translation for Tengoku which is funny since NoA used to be funny about religion and heaven may have set off alarm bells back in the 90s.
W101 is first party. How many times does this need to be explained? Layton games are published by Nintendo in Europe yet they are still considered third party. Nintendo just offers to publish games to get them on their system.

My autocorrect put a space in Rayman and now I look like an idiot.

If anyone claims to be something related to NoA, Bamco or "Sora", its automatic bullshit. Specially from /v/
W101 is only first-party if you ignore the term "second-party," which some people prefer to do. Otherwise it qualifies as a second-party game.
1st - published by Nintendo, developed by Nintendo
2nd - published by Nintendo, developed by another company
3rd party - published and developed by another company
I'm comparing Rayman Legends to W101 in that both titles are published by Nintendo (Rayman Legends in Japan) but developed by Ubisoft and Platinum, respectively.
Rayman Legends wasn't funded by Nintendo while W101 is. Nintendo also owns the W101 IP.
There's two different situations.
The Japanese version of Rayman Legends was manufactured and translated by Nintendo, only the Nintendo logo appears on the front of the box, and the official Japanese website is hosted/run by Nintendo. I'm just saying that from a Japanese perspective the Wii U version of Rayman Legends is just as much a Nintendo product as anything else. Sakurai would need Ubisoft's approval for the trophy just like he'd need consent from the studios behind the rest of the games he references. I don't think there are any deeper implications than simply wanting to include a trophy from a fairly recent game.
I like how you ignore my Layton point when it is actually the correct comparison in this situation (third party game published by Nintendo) and instead insist on comparing it to W101 (a first party game developed by a third party) which is totally INCORRECT.
Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages would be what then?

I could see Sakurai doing something like that, especially if the pokemon in question is mewtwo. Only other one that makes sense would be zoroark who we know is in the game from the greninja trailer but still hasn't been shown or seen in any pics or footage
LOL 51 characters.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
I would laugh hard if Ray Man ended up being "Surprise" character when you unlocked him in the game.
I can imagine that it's possible since we have 38 characters right now.
The Wonderful 101 is absolutely a 1st party game. The IP is owned by Nintendo, it was co-developed by Nintendo SPD, it was funded and published by Nintendo, and was executively produced by Satoru Iwata. It's nothing like the Rayman Legends situation.
How many newcomers would that would be? Hypothetically
Got mine at Best Buy ^^
I got Other M at full price around when it was first out. Yep. A full $50. 50 Buckaroos.i got rhythm heaven fever and sin & punishment 2 for full price at launch because i'm a decent human being
whole lot of good that did
Assuming everyone returns besides Snake and the rest of PT's Pokemon, I count 4.
Yeah, even if we assume that four characters are getting cut, adding the remaining veterans would put the roster at 48 characters.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
If we got all veterans without Snake, Lucas, Ivysaur and Squirtle (which is ten veterans) and two newcomers (Shulk and Chorus Kid)
That would be 12 characters + 38 revealed characters = 50 characters. If they managed to put Lucas or Mewtwo in then we would have 51 characters but my safe bet is 48 characters tho.
I did too. It sits on my shelf in tribute to my shame.
Need more of these lmao
Mine sits with the Trilogy edition, just to show how stark of a contrast the two are.
Ripped off <-> Amazing deal
I've read this twice now and it keeps getting more amazing

Let me ask you a question, is Super Smash Bros.4 2nd party? If it is, then do you consider Hyrule Warriors 2nd party too? Since you know, it's published by Nintendo, and developed by another company.
There are currently 36 revealed characters.
Second-party doesn't mean "not Nintendo" -- second-party games can still be owned and funded by Nintendo. All it means is that the game was chiefly created by some other company. The Wonderful 101 was conceptualized and designed by Platinum and is very much their "baby." If a W101 character was playable, Platinum Games would be added to the character credits at the bottom of the site.
Also, literally everything Nintendo publishes is executively produced by Iwata -- he's the president of the company. That credit is honorific.
Yes to both. I didn't realize "second-party" was such a contentious term.
Sakurai considers the Mii fighters to be 3 different characters.
Alright. In that case I can see 50+.
He said he was nearing the end of the newcomer trailers and I'm assuming they each get their own trailer. There could be more without trailers but I'm not really expecting much.

I'm only really expecting two or three more newcomers. Shulk, a Rhythm Heaven rep, and a surprise would fit right in with that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just the first two.

A surprise new character would be so hype!
