Sakurai legit said that it wasn't his idea, and was super passive aggressive about it. No idea where you got that idea that he "love Minecraft". But yeah, the reason is probably money from the higher ups.

Loving minecraft is different from wanting to integrate a character into your game, he has said multiple times on Twitter and his famitsu articles that he ike’s minecraft for several reasons

speaking on the origin and not post microsoft buyout

you wanted your indie fighter, here you go

GoldenBullet · Oct 1, 2020

Are people really mad about this? Minecraft is one of the most popular and top selling game in history. It was pretty clear Microsoft was gonna have a character in smash (I thought it was gonna be master chief). Smash Bros is a celebration of videogames and it's 2020 people.

Probably the best fighter choice in these fighter passes yet actually

I now have the renders for the other three alternate costumes. The rest are just Steve and Alex in different outfits. Same place, also via SmashWiki. Actually, I'll show all four unique costumes:
Steve (costume 1):

Alex (costume 2):

Zombie (costume 7):

Enderman (costume 8; note that the arms are shorter from from in the original game in order to match Steve's physique):

Sans is from an character from a recent indie compared to a 10 year old #1 best selling game world wide, plus Sakurai loves Minecraft

Not really a good reason...

Not sure why Sans is a costume, but Steve isn't...

I've thought for a while that Steve would be a good Sword Fighter costume, just like Cuphead and Sans were good Gunner costumes. I'm not upset that Steve got a full character slot, just a bit "meh" about it

Huh, I love mc, have over 1000 Hours on it, so I’m pretty interested, but we can all say no one saw this coming

Man, it's surreal seeing people hating Minecraft here, it's like I'm in the mid-2010s again.

What do you people have against this game? Are y'all gonna tell me you wanted Geno or some self insert RPG/Live Service character? :rofl2:

In anyone else sick and tired of Smash Bros, i dont see the appeal.....but im in my 40s maybe thats why....dont get me wrong here, i played all of them on each system, its gotta be the most uninspiring game i have ever played, hate this post or not, it doesnt appeal to me.

Well, this is gbatemp, people hate everything

Hot take : Steve should have been in the base game. I mean, Minecraft is the highest selling video game. Characters like Geno (or even Waluigi) don't have the name recognition and impact on the gaming industry to be fighters.

I thought it was tracer.

Eh, as glad as I am he’s here, i think he shouldn’t have been in the base game

tldr, he was inevitable, it was going to happen eventually

Seems to me like Microsoft has been incredibly generous to Nintendo letting them use their stuff...
But when the fuck can we expect Nintendo doing the same in return? Letting Microsoft use their IPs?

Unless it was Metroid or Pilotwings, I don't see any other company "getting" some of the franchises.
Mario has that Nintendo touch.
F-Zero is just something no one else does. (WipeOut is close but not really)
Zelda is just too quirky and breaks some traditions for anyone to make good use of.

So unless MS would make a harcore shooter out of Metroid or a more serious Pilotwings, what would the targets be? I'm actually curious.

I think an MS studio can make a mean Starfox game.

Hopefully nothing cause they would make something like an edgy reboot of Mario

Good point, forgot about that one.

I meant it more in like, when the fuck will Nintendo allow other companies to do stuff with their IPs? In a matter that's not limited to their system/company.
If Microsoft allowed for both Steve and Banjo Kazooie to be in Smash, when will Nintendo finally stop being the overprotective douches they are and let Microsoft do something with theirs?
