Doe's anyone else feel sad knowing that Nintendo has probably given Mega Man more love than Capcom ever did in recent years? I mean not to raise up any old wounds or anything, but canceling 3 MM projects, holding back more than 2 games and even pushing buttons like Bad Box Art Mega Man...is just aggressive, and this is all before taking Xover into consideration.
Not entirely sure about my reaction to the Villager...didn't Miyamoto mention that he never wanted any AC characters doing actual violence (indirect or otherwise) which is why Resetti just steals attention instead of damaging people like other Assist Trophies...as a laugh, wouldn't it be strange if the Villager was originally Stanley the Bugman in development (which made sence as a retro character due to the Balloon Fighter Jump) but then backed out due to Mario being his Uncle in canon?
Still though, amazing that Pit became a Nintendo Main character after 1 successful game, even if it meant excising one game from continuity and advertising, despite the creator mentioning that he wasn't planning a sequel. (and im not talking of the NES game, but rather the gameboy game; Myths and Monsters)
