Suda 51 wants Travis Touchdown in Smash Bros. photo

He may not have set the world on fire with No More Heroes, but game designer and nutbag Goichi Suda wants Travis Touchdown in the next Super Smash Bros. game. Hoping to make Touchdown a big videogame star in his own right, Suda would love to see the nerdsome assassin duking it out with Mario and the gang.

"I love him, and I want him to be a huge star," Suda tells Nintendo Power. "That’s why I’m working very hard to make this game as interesting as possible. Maybe in the future, we can see him fighting alongside Link in the next Smash Bros. [laughs] That would be great."

As a big fan of Suda 51, I would like to see every wish of his come true. Considering Suda's close friendship with Hideo Kojima, whose very own Solid Snake was in Brawl, we could perhaps see this particular dream become a reality. Mainstream Wii owners probably wouldn't have the first clue who he is, but you can guarantee that he'd be a popular fixture among the hardcore set. 

What do you say? Care for more Touchdown in your Smash Bros.?

I can't stand Smash Bros, but if they were going to put a Suda character in there I would DEFINITELY want it to be Harman from Killer 7 and either have the Killers 7 be the different costumes (like Samus and Zero Suit Samus) with different moves and fighting styles or have the ability to change between them on the fly. Though hopefully they'd save such a badass character for a better fighting game.

Yeah, people wouldn't really know who he is, but it's not like people knew Marth or even Ness when he came to SSB.

Travis would definitely be welcome in the next iteration of Smash Bros. I'd be so stoked if that happened. He might even replace Sheik as my main...he's that bad ass.

I can see it now. Taunting with the "recharge"/masturbation of the sword.

Yeah I totally see this happening. *eyeroll*

Explain to me why the company that makes a console that Suda51 recently said just isn't good enough for his games anymore would want to include his character in one of their biggest franchises?

Not saying it wouldn't be cool, just that it will probably never happen.

Seriously dude? I loved brawl it expanded on everything I loved in melee and made crap characters like Yoshi(i love him but he was awful) playable.


As for Travis Touchdown I would love some TT in my smash. I think its pretty likely too in the good old pre brawl days I remember Sakurai saying that people asked him to put their characters in brawl not the other way round.

If Travis can be in the next Smash Bros., then Mega Man better be fucking in as well.

What we really need is a Capcom VS Konami game, A mouthwatering thought, indeed.

This could work. I'd love to see more development on this.

I don't exactly get it. First of all, the new SSB was advertised as the last. "The Brawl To End Them All" is what the big box that held all the games said. I myself think that it should be the last game. It was AMAZING, don't get me wrong. But... Who else can they add? There aren't many more 'good' characters. I played a bit of No More Heros and it took me forever to figure out what the hell was going on.

The brawl I played could not be added onto, in fact, I think they should take a few things out if they're making a new brawl. Things that were useless and took up space that could have been used for characters. That list of games that they had was stupid. And, I kinda liked the games that they added in so you could find out what Link, Kirby, Mario, ect. went through, but it was sort of useless with how short of a time you were given.

If there needs to be more characters, it needs to be people like Geno, Masked Man from Mother 3. Also, another character that should be in there (even though I don't like him much) is Mega Man. Just because it would take up a spot so that way no one complains that fuckin' Master Chief isn't in the game yet. I get tired of those pleads.

Just because his game was hyperviolent didn't mean it's possible to put him in.

he doesn't HAVE to eviscerate mario.

YES. And I would also like the next Smash Bros game for Wii. You have a year to announce it, Nintendo. Go go go!

Oh, but Suda... if you want Travis in SB... it might be a good idea not to talk about putting him on other systems. I mean, it didn't stop Snake... but that's Snake.
