I’ve written half a dozen blogs for this website wanting Geno to return to Nintendo’s forefront, but it just doesn’t seem like it’s happening.Īnd before you say something smart, this is absolutely not me trying to reverse jinx him being added into the game. Nintendo Dream Interview with Sakurai: Part 3īut the fact of the matter is, I’ve given up. When talking about older characters, Geno always gets a lot of requests. He didn’t appear as a fighter, but I was able to achieve something kind of close to that as a Mii Costume. Because of that, you added him as a Mii Costume this time? During Brawl, I thought it would be great if I could add him, but in the end it didn’t become a reality. He has a gun for a hand, and I think he fits in really well with Smash. Sakurai: To tell the truth, it’s because I wanted Geno to be a playable character. What led you to decide to make a Geno costume after all this time? And to tell you the truth, I have no idea! A couple of years ago, Sakurai himself remarked on wanting Geno in Smash per an interview with Nintendo Dream. “But, Dom, isn’t Cloud Strife in Smash? And isn’t he owned by Square Enix?! Why is this such an issue for Smash!?” you might be asking. Largely (I think) because the rights to Geno are currently owned by Square Enix, rather than Nintendo. Geno, originally introduced as one of the playable characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, has become somewhat of a cult figure in Mario and Smash lore, as he’s barely made an appearance since that game.
