Is Kickstarter a Good Platform? [SG Roundtable]

The Case for Mametchi
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, Capcom and SEGA both have two guest characters, but Bandai-Namco only has one. If the company was to get a second one, who could it be? In this guest article, Zoniken discuss Mametchi’s (from the Tamagotchi franchise) possible inclusion in the next Super Smash Bros. game. Don’t know who it is? Nothing too surprising, but all the more reason to check out this guest article!

Dream Smashers – Andy
Advance Wars is one of Nintendo’s oldest franchises, which debuted on the NES (it was called Famicom Wars in Japan, after all). It’s also one of Intelligent Systems’ most famous series, though it hasn’t received nearly the same amount of love as Fire Emblem in the past decade.
And what if Masahiro Sakurai decided to add a character from that series in the next Super Smash Bros.? Naturally, it would have to be Andy! In this Dream Smashers article SMX takes a look at the character itself, its importance and relevance, and more importantly what types of moves it would have.
