Least likely characters to ever be in Smash Bros

Sure, more fighters are coming. However no matter how many they add some will just never make the cut.

Popeye. Nintendo has a lot of history with Popeye, he was launch title for Famicom. Somewhere along the way Nintendo lost the license to make Popeye games. So despite some history together, he will never join the fight. Shame too, as he could easily be an alternate for Little Mac.

Will from "Illusion of Gaia". Enix, when they were their own company, made a lot of interesting games. Most of which aren't much remembered today. This Zelda-like game is no exception. He had a flute and could take on the form of a boy, a knight, and a being made of blue flames. This could make for an interesting fighter, that will never be in Smash.

Any character from a Rockstar game. GTA, Bully, Manhunt, Red Dead, any of the protagonist could make for great fighters. Sadly Nintendo doesn't have much of a relationship with Rockstar, and likely never will. Seems odd the GTA game haven't made it to Switch, and it is too late for them to be on 3ds. Last time they had a game on a Nintendo console was Bully on the Wii. Guess that makes Jimmy Hopkins the most likely to show up, and that is still an extreme long shot.

Shodan. The antagonist of System Shock 1 and 2. While these games get more love today than they ever did when they came out, they are still rather niche. Also, not sure how you make an evil artificial intelligence into a fighter exactly.

Gordon Freeman. If Valve isn't going to do anything with him, what chance does Nintendo have?

Disappointing Sequels: Bioshock 2

System Shock 2 FINALLY Out again.

It took long enough. I am not getting paid to spread the word about this, I am just a fan that wants as many people as possible to play this masterwork of a game. It is out now on "Good Old Games" (GOG), and is supposed to come to Steam later this year. GOG has an exclusivity contract for the game for the next 5 to 6 months, after which it will likely show up on Steam, hopefully in time for the summer sale.

Greetings insect.

Originally released in 1999, System Shock 2 was mind blowing at the time, and far beyond anything else on the market at the time. While today the graphics are not much to look at, the gameplay and story are still far beyond most of the other games out there.

If you are wondering what this game is like, it is a lot like the first Bioshock. However, it is much harder, and has actual RPG elements, not just the window dressing of them. "Deus Ex" might be a better comparison now that I think of it. The point being that it is a first person game, with guns, and with lots of stats and skills to keep track of, that allow you to approach the same situations in many different ways. This leads to a very high replay value.

So pick it up on GOG http://www.gog.com/gamecard/system_shock_2. Or wait for the Steam release. Either way, you owe it to yourself to play this masterwork.
