Random: Did Geoff Keighley Really Just Hint That A Death Stranding Character Is Coming To Smash? Nintendo Life "Ludens Fan will be checking the mail!" by Share: With the news that we're getting (count 'em) new fighters in , the inevitable speculation is going to occur. Now that the is in the game (it sure feels like it, at least), what other franchises could be represented? We're sure you've got some ideas of your own, but it would seem that Game Awards founder and frontman Geoff Keighley – someone who could well be in the loop on such matters – has his own ideas: - Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) Ludens, as you may well be aware, is the name of the spaceman in the Kojima Productions logo, and was the name of Keighley's character in the only game that the current version of the studio has created to date – – therefore leaving little to the imagination. Of course, by using the name "Ludens Fan", you could say that Keighley is merely saying that he's keen to know the identities of the six new fighters – but his use of that name, in particular, does seem rather suspect. Could we really see Sam Porter Bridges make the leap to Smash? What would his move set be like? Can Sakurai and his team really make a decent fighter out of someone whose job involves delivering packages? Is Keighley just having a laugh? Does he really know something we don't, or is he merely suggesting that Nintendo should approach Kojima Productions about some kind of crossover? How likely is it that we'll see a game that's only available on a non-Nintendo system in Smash? All these questions and more probably won't be answered soon, but feel free to sound off in the comments anyway. And in the meantime, let's not forget that these guys are pals... - HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) [source ] Related Games Share: About Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded. Comments ) … Keighley is Ludens Fan. It's Keighley who's checking the mail. "Ludens Fan" was the name of Geoff Keighley's character in Death Stranding. He's almost certainly joking. It's Kojima himself. This guy has his own shrine worshipping himself.
What's he going to do? Carry a package at you aggressively? I can't imagine this is going to be a thing. Upsmash: Walk.
Downsmash: Walk.
Sidesmash: Walk.
(Continue joke accordingly....) Sam Porter Bridges in smash would be cool This seems more like his hope or prediction. Anyways, death stranding has no game on a Nintendo platform to draw from. the switch would explode trying to run death stranding there's plenty of weapons in game. If only I could downvote more than once. Sam as a character would be sweet. Certainly better than yet another Fire Emblem character. lol it might - some of the best graphics I’ve ever seen. Was hard for me to tell if the beginning cutscenes were real or not when I first booted it up Not really. It would need to be a much lower resolution but there's nothing else there that hasn't already been done on Switch. The Witcher's world is bigger, more complex, more detailed, and has more interaction. It has worse image quality by far and looks nowhere near as clean, but that doesn't really matter. Lowering resolution would drastically reduce the power needed. You might want to keep an eye on the site later on, then. That photo of Sakurai, and Kojima doesn't necessarily mean anything. Konami is already represented in Smash with Metal Gear, & Castlvania. Capcom with Mega Man, & Street Fighter. Sega with Sonic, and Bayonetta. Nope, they wouldn't let that leak. Why would he (Geoff) have insider information like that? Seems unlikely to me... That would be super cool. DS killed it at the DICE nominations... been on a roll lately. Good game everyone should at least try. Really picks up after a bit Definitely seems like a bit of a stretch, but odder things have come to smash. I think if we were to see the game ported over to switch somehow then maybe we'd have a chance at it. That's the reason I posted this. It seems odd and unlikely but we've been here before with this series! I doubt they would put in a character who looks exactly like his real life counterpart Norman Reedus Hmmm... at this point, it seems like pretty much any video game character is a possibility. I wouldn't have guessed this one before, but who knows? All I can say is bring on Fighter's Pass 2! B move = shakes baby violently use guns, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, hermatic grenades. Maybe throw a package at your head? Final Smash could be him calling a BT to take you out. Geoff Keighley makes a small cameo in Death Stranding, and his character is called Ludens Fan, so he's just joking that he himself is the next Smash character. Yes that makes perfect sence a side character makes it into smash before my boy norman gets in ITS A F###ING JOKE You never know. Maybe Nintendo are trying to court Kojima into making a game for them and this is a token gesture towards that? Doubt it though... Also did someone say Thomas whitehead’s coming back? ? He's clearly just hyped that there are more Smash fighters to come, and the sky is the limit in terms of who they may be. Even if a Death Stranding character were coming to Smash (really not holding my breath on that idea), Geoff Keighley would not be one of the people that actually knew if this were true or not, no matter how much he loves sucking off Kojima. Ahhh, so this is a pointless article... Don't be teasing about TW coming back. As much as I miss the bloke, still harass him on Twitter, I think this would be a step back, and down, for him, and I think the discourse on the site, as in the world, is beyond saving, even by TW. Still trying to figure out what new thing Ant did to the site on Monday that you were excited for. If he talked TW into coming back thank him excessively for me and forget what I wrote above. Didn't think the Dante tweet meant anything and I definitely don't think this does Edit: Nevermind it's not PS blue it's Smash blue, who knew? Anybody else think this page is highlighted in Pushsquare blue? (thought I was on PS for a moment) Did Ant "merge" the sites ? Would be nice to not get yelled at over on PS for mentioning Switch. This site has always been good about allowing other systems to be mentioned but it would be nice to have 1 overarching site to rival IGN and cut down on the fanboyism. Sam Bridgese in Smash would be an excellent addition, not only that but it would be nice with not just another fight with a sword and magic. sad that you're being downvoted. Kojima hasn't been at Konami since 2015. God I hope not. Sorry but I don't care for the title or like the idea of a celebrity in smash. It would just be "guy from walking dead" ackwardly hanging out with Bowser for me. Just ugh. Now I'm surprised Dark Souls or Monster Hunter have no rep. These kids of games seem real big deal, influential, and on Nintendo systems recently. That weapon idea they gave to that new Fire Emblem character really would have been great for a MH rep imo I have no idea what the game is about, but I'd be up for it. At least it would be unexpected. NL, don't even try to make me believe TW is coming back via the comment section of another pointless article.
Don't you, please! he was making a joke Unless they are bringing Death Stranding to Switch, then this will never happen. The only fighters in Smash have been on a Nintendo system at some point in time. And I seriously doubt we'll see Norman Reedus and his fetus on the Switch... "it sure feels like it, at least" seriously shut up. Pokemon has more (9) unique reps in this game. FE has 6 unique characters and 2 echo fighters. Zelda has 6 unique characters, Mario has 12 unique characters. Just stop and act like a news site. Sorry you didn't get the amazingly designed Geno. Yuck! Talk about not interested! Death Stranding sounds and looks about as interesting to me as eating paper. Sam Porter Bridges has access to many different types of weaponry, such as a bola launcher, grenade launcher(with multiple munitions), assault rifle, shotguns, and his fists. For all of you pretending to have played it and even further more acting as if the game is a walking simulator when it’s so much more.
