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?

They have precedent for being overly protective, as this video details:

Do what though? They don’t have a crossover fighting game like Nintendo does

Worst how?

A million other characters I would've preferred for sure, but it's no surprise Nintendo insisted on Steve's inclusion. Going forward, hopefully this means there won't be any slots wasted on characters from flavor of the month genres like MOBA and battle royale.

I get it, this is the millennial / zoomer pick

Probably more zoomer than millennial. I'm part of the latter generation and I'm rather opposed to the decision. It's not like players get to pick by vote anyway. What happened here is that Microsoft threw a bunch of money at Nintendo and they obliged.

Anxiety_timmy · Oct 1, 2020

honestly I feel that the only reason why steve got picked was because nintendo got a shitload of money from microsoft

Honestly, my reaction would be best described as this:

Because if this is who we got this time, and its corporate Nintendo making the decisions, expect them to sell out more often going forward. Like, they might try and put a character from Fortnite in next, followed by whoever's popular next after that.

I doubt that we are getting fortnite cause Microsoft and Nintendo are partnering with each other. epic and Nintendo haven’t ever really partnered together

wow good job nintendo, another trash dlc character again. thats why i never expect too much

Julie_Pilgrim · Oct 1, 2020

Why are so many people so fucking mad about this?

MikaDubbz · Oct 1, 2020

Haha I hope Kirby turns into a cube after inhaling him. Hadn't even thought about that, but the thought now of that is cracking me up.

I mean I'm not personally excited by this, but I can recognize that this is going to make a LOT of Smash players happy. It's definitely a polarizing character as I was never excited by the thought of him, but I do totally understand the choice all the same at the end of the day. It is a legit logical inclusion at this point.

i think im one of the only people thats actually interested in it lmao, whats funny is people are getting mad over a character that was obviously gonna be coming

For me it was kinda cool but good god steve is a character that is associated with minecraft. Even if smash is a game that is associated with kids( same with minecraft) I think most people saw him like if a character from fall guys or fortnite got in

Draxikor · Oct 1, 2020

@Scott_pilgrim For many things, the minecraft fanbase is not the most loved or respected, the gameplay is not attractive to many players, there were many characters that could have satisfied another sector of smash fans, etc. That it is a popular game with a lot of players and that it sells millions are not factors that excite all Smash players, from a corporate point of view of course it is a good move but other characters would have generated a more favorable response. In addition, the generation gap is already very large, for more veteran players Terry's announcement hit much more than younger players. In this case the opposite happened.

Are you the one who oversaw this licensing deal? Because I don't think anyone foresaw this coming. Even the lead dev didn't see it coming.

Delerious · Oct 1, 2020

Now every 10-year-old is going to choose Steve when they play in multiplayer, and Smash Veterans will be mad every time.

I look forward to it.

Well it's different let's give them that.
What we wanted ... well some ... but not for most.
But then again, can we really have all we want; (short answer) no we can't.
Im mostly happy it isn't yet another FE character and it's neat to see the various echo fighters Steve introduces as well.
