4 DLC Characters Super Smash Bros Ultimate Needs
Jibanyan (Yo-Kai Watch)
Third-party characters in Nintendo games have followed a pattern so far, coming from legacy developers that have a long history of putting games on Nintendo platforms. Capcom, Square Enix, Sega, and now Atlus. But there’s no third-party developer out there that has quite as good a relationship with Nintendo as Level-5.
Level-5 has consistently put hit after hit out in the form of Nintendo exclusives, including Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven, Dragon Quest IX, and Yo-Kai Watch, that last one arguably being the biggest series Level-5 has right now. Although Yo-Kai Watch may not have hit gargantuan status in the west, it certainly has in Japan.
During its height in 2014, Yo-Kai Watch hit incredibly popularity heights in Japan, even rivaling Pokemon for a time. Things have certainly died down a bit now, but with Yo-Kai Watch 4 in development, it’s due for a comeback. No other character from the series would be more fitting for Smash than its poster-cat, Jibanyan.
This adorable little creature has the cuteness and charm to rival Pikachu, and has easily become synonymous with the series. Jibanyan would fit right into a Smash moveset, with its Paws of Fury and fire-based attacks. The character already has a host of cute costumes to dress up in as well.
Even better, imagine having a Yo-Kai Watch stage and all that stupidly catchy music in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It seems about time that Smash gets a Level-5 representative, and Yo-Kai Watch is the obvious choice.
