Me every time when someone says that Conker is “too mature” for Smash... Every. Fucking. Time.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that he was changed all that much for Live & Reloaded and Project Spark, obviously they care about his source material and original audience, they just made that terrible excuse called “Young Conker” as an excuse to sell based on his name alone. As a matter of fact, they brought him back more times than Banjo, who only came back with Nuts & Bolts. And to further prove that he still has market value, Fangamer just recently announced new merch of him. So no, you can’t say that Microsoft “hates the game”. These made up assumptions and excuses are just absurd.

I think the problem with him to you is that you do t understand the source material all that well. He wouldn’t be as bad as “Banjo without a shirt and guh-huh” as you say, that is way too drastic of a comparison.

What if Conker is one of Sakurai’s favorite characters? And why would Terry being one of his favorites be the only reason to put him in and not profit on SNK’s end? I don’t think you quite understand how marketing works.

Least known? Conker is more known than Pyra, Min Min and Byleth worldwide. So I think he’d be far from the least known.

I legitimately do think he can be in the game, more so than Master Chief or someone else of theirs anyways. It is personal opinion because of how you feel they could “misrepresent” him, not based on the facts. It’s fine if you don’t care about him, but don’t get angry if he does end up getting in since there would be nothing wrong with him, and would be more faithful to the original game than even Bayonetta. Not to mention that he represents further unity between Nintendo and Microsoft, so yeah, I’d say he’s a pretty big deal. But you are free to believe whatever you like.
