I think the chances of Tales of Symphonia characters making it in just skyrocketed.

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

No idea. I'm hoping that this might end up causing some cool cameos though.

Maybe it'll have more characters to care about now. It would be pretty cool to see Zelos, Malik and Pascal in.

This is interesting news. While I'd love to jump to the conclusion that this improves Lloyd/Zelos/Kratos' chances (and it does), the real news here is that Pac-Man is pretty much a lock now.

Didn't Game Arts work on Brawl? This isn't too unusual.

Apparently one of the directors of Gundam Extreme Vs is working on this game.

Game Arts, Hudson Soft, Monolith Soft. A bunch of developers. I hope that holds true for Smash 4, and it isn't just Namco Bandai. I'm sure it will, really.

It was Japanese only sadly

I played it, it was pretty fun though the CPU can be cheap and there wasn't an option to turn off time limit and heck the highest time option you have is 4 minutes

oh man maybe the game will have a more competitive slant since we've got Namco people working on it

not getting my hopes up there though

If a Namco character that isn't Pac-Man gets in I will be disappoint.

Tales of characters fit decently enough. They wouldn't be any more out of place than Marth or Ike tbh.

Hey, I'm all for Cless, Lloyd, Luke, or Asbel having a shot at being in the game!

And I surely wouldn't mind seeing Pac-man or Nightmare in either.

Wasn't Brawl hella outsourced? Like I know they even got the writer of one of the final fantasy games to direct Emissary.

4 is probably going to be the same way and Namco is just part of it.

In order to make Mr. Sakurai proud, we will take on this project with NAMCO BANDAI's best staff! Yos***o (bad word) Higuchi, the producer and the director of the "Tales" series, Tetsuya Akatsuka, producer and director of "Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs.," the art director/sound director of the "SoulCalibur" series, the main development team staff from the "TEKKEN" series…and that's just for starters. All the top creators from NAMCO BANDAI are gathered here to create a never-before-seen dream team for this project. We will fully utilize our experience and knowledge in action/fighting game development, technical capability, and organizational strength, and we hereby promise you that we will develop the best and most powerful "Super Smash Bros." title ever! Don't miss it!

Whoa, this is unexpected! I've always liked Namco an awful lot, so this could be kind of cool.

And yeah, I'd be floored if Pac-Man didn't make the roster now. He's probably the most likely newcomer, when you take this news into consideration.

--
Hey, you ever coming back?
You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard.

This is probably good news, as I would only imagine Smash Bros would get stale if the same developer kept making it. Maybe this'll shake things up.

yeah I have no idea why everybody's so quick to complain about this

it could be really great, and Sakurai is still at the helm so there's nothing to be worried about.

Pac-Man's a virtual lock, but I could see Lloyd being a second Namco rep. I mean, Tales of Symphonia was the GameCube's main third-party game... that wasn't named "Resident Evil 4," anyway. The influence it had on the Nintendo community was huge; so, Nintendo would probably be eager to get Lloyd in Smash.

Really though, Namco's involvement here opens up several other awesome possibilities. We could even see someone truly crazy, like Mr. Driller or Mappy; the former's been surprisingly prolific over the past decade or so, and Japanese audiences go apes*** for the latter. Personally, I'd love to see Dr. Don and Dr. Dan from Point Blank, but I know that won't happen. >_>

Oh hey, I just remembered Klonoa. He could make it too.

--

Klonoa would be amazing. Probably would never happen though.

I'd have more faith that this could be a good game if sakurai wasn't involved.

oh hey maybe there will be a smash game actually worth playing

If a Tales rep gets in, it's going to be Yuri Lowell. He's by far the most popular Tales character in Japan, and ToS is getting pretty old.

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Abyss was just on 3DS though so watch out for Luke
