Smash Run enemy may portend of reveals to come
Buried under all the other E3 news this weekend as the eagle-eyed observation that one of the Sneaky Spirits from the originalRhythm Tengoku/Heavenon GBA is an enemy in the Smash Run mode ofSuper Smash Bros.for 3DS. As far as I can tell, all of the enemies revealed from Smash Run thus far have been tied to playable characters, which has lead to some healthy speculation that the game will feature at least one playable character from theRhythm Tengoku/Heavenseries. That’s something a lot of people were expecting anyway. Though the series hasn’t done big numbers outside of Japan, it sells in the millions in its country of origin, making it one of Nintendo’s most consistently popular recent IPs.
So it may not be a question of “if”Rhythm Heavencharacter will be in the nextSmash Bros., but a question of “who.” A lot of fans are betting thatrumors from earlier this yearwill bear fruit, indicating The Choir Boys will take the spot, as most of those other predictions have already come true. We’ll likely know soon enough, as a few more reveals beforeSmash Bros.for the 3DS launches in October are inevitable.
If it is The Choir Boys, I wonder what they’ll do for an alternate costume set? They are basically naked except for their bow ties, which is the trademarkThe Chippendaleslook. Maybe they’ll keep that theme going witha little snake stuffor someSwayze-style quaffs.
