Nintendo just announced there is a new Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase coming tomorrow at Jun 28th at 6AM PT / 9 AM EST in the morning. Like the other Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcases this is merely focuses on 3rd Party Titles that has zero 1st Party Nintendo titles in it. I totally think Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, & Persona 5 Royal might going to be announced since all the three Persona games had been announced to be on Xbox Consoles & PC. I don't know if Square Enix is going to be showing off Dragon Quest 12 along with the other Square Enix properties in tomorrow's Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase?

Since today's Nintendo Direct not only reveal Nintendo 64 Online is coming, but the Sega Genesis Online was very unexpected reveal for Nintendo Switch Online since this is the first 3rd Party Console added to the Nintendo Switch Online library as well. Since this is now possible, what other 3rd Party Consoles do you like to coming to Nintendo Switch Library since Sega Genesis Online now become a thing? I was thinking a TurboGrafx-16 Online, a Sega Master System Online since we don't have much Sega Master System games on the Sega Ages Collection for the Nintendo Switch eShop, and and maybe a SG-1000 Online for the first time on a Nintendo console definitely needs to happen.

We have Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Megaman, Ryu and we've had Snake before. Outside of these particular 5 who do you think would work as well and why? Clear explanations may help people understand your choices! Also this thread is purely hypothesis and fun, so just have fun! My personal picks? Wellllll.. Also will put pictures of the character in Spoilers #1 Simon Belmont; Castlevania I-IV and others were huge hits on pure Nintendo consoles, sure Castlevania saw arguably its greatest game (Symphony of the Night) on that of the PS1, but Castlevania has always seemed to lean more Nintendo in terms of what systems they are on, although it became more of a tug-of-war later on with Sony. Regardless, Simon Belmont is seen as a Nintendo classic character despite being owned by Konami, I'd say he shares that limelight with Megaman, He'd have a very unique moveset with his whip and subweapons, he could also probably borrow stuff from the other Belmonts such as Trevors Curse of Darkness flame based attacks, Richters Item Crashes, and Julius's pure badassness, plus not to crawl away from his attributes such as his very controllable whip from IV and his pure blood bound determination, although which look of his they'd use is a different question, his old Conan one? Or his later Red haired look. #2 Lloyd Irving; Tales of Symphonia which is regarded as one of the better RPG's on the Gamecube and has a cult following, was really fun and its combat emulates smash somewhat in how specials are done, the game has alot of locales to choose from that could clearly be used in smash. Namco already has stakes in this game and the Tales team is part of the development team onboard, along with Team Soul. Lloyd himself is a dual wielding Swordsman *Has veggies thrown at him* WAIT HEAR ME OUT, he'd be quite different then the previous swordsmen, Lloyd was all about speed, he was self taught, has very aerial based moves and a projectile and waves, he also has some very acrobatic spins and twirls, I feel Lloyd would fit right at home in smash with his more flashy moves. #3 Shantae; WayForwards Half-Genie Half Human Belly Dancer has tons of potential at her disposal and that she's been on mostly Nintendo consoles, her fame is growing more and more, and her various moves in her Metroidvania like games could lend themselves well to smash. While she may not be able to use her animal transformations in Smash, the various gadgets she uses in Pirates Curse when she teams up with her mortal foe Risky Boots, could work and she uses her hair for combat as well, theres also the classic Pike Balls, she'd play like some weird mixture of Simon Belmont and Link most likely. #4 The Hero: Dragon Quest V Dragon Quest has been huge in Japan, and has had moderate success in the west, I feel if they added ANY of the protagonists, it would be the main character from V, seeing as V is oftened lauded as one of the better if not the BEST dragon quest, the various spells, moves and the fact that the OA depicts him with a staff could lend way to a more bo staff/magic type character which would be pretty darned awesome. Also he has no offical name, but going by how DQ8 made their default name Eight, maybe he'd be Five #5 Terra Branford Do I even need to explain how big the final fantasy series is? Terra Branford was the main character of Final Fantasy 6, or 3 as us in the west FIRST received it, she is a really talented mage in a dark steampunk world where Magic is considered taboo and is practically nonexistent, I feel she'd be a pretty good representation of the Pre-Sony Final Fantasy, that was all on Nintendo consoles, and how FF6 is often regarded as one of the absolute best RPG's of the age. Terra has tons of magic, and daggers and various other short weaponry at her disposal as well as her Esper abilities which could lend itself to some powerful magical abilities.
