A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate leaker revealed why we didn’t see one of the most requested DLC characters coming to the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite game. Forward to each Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character reveals, a few names are starting to make the round and trend on Twitter, like Sora’s Kingdom Hearts and Crash Bandicoot. One of these in-demand characters is Geno, one of the main characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Typically – unless your name is Waluigi – is a Nintendo character and in demand enough to get you in Super Smash Bros., but it wasn’t enough for Geno. And according to the aforementioned leaker, there are a few reasons for this.
Speaking to the Japanese forum 5ch, the anonymous leaker – who gained credibility by “leaking” Steve Minecraft and Hero Dragon Quest before they were announced – claimed Nintendo is generally perplexed by the demand for the character.
Outgoing, the leaker claims Nintendo has heard fans loud and clear, but is confused as there appears to be an insignificant amount of support for a remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or follow up. Sure, Nintendo’s temperature control could be incorrect depending on who you ask, but it’s what the leaker says is a topic of debate at Nintendo when it comes to putting Geno in. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Moving on, Nintendo is apparently hesitant about becoming Nintendo characters Smash characters, or in other words, characters that are known only in Smash. If this is true, it more or less means that Geno is just being added Super Mario RPG is revived in a major war, which seems unlikely at this point.
That said, as always, take everything here with a grain of salt. Not only is nothing official here, but even if it’s all 100 percent true, it’s all subject to change.
