Why do spinoffs never have RPG characters?

even though i know credit isn't good enough when you need permission, i'm still annoyed squeenix would be whiney bitches about it
 
Wait, Nintendo really did get in trouble for using Geno in the minigame?
 
apparently yeah and enix is pretty bitchy in general, so its not really surprising.
 
I don't know why they even care, especially if they don't use Geno anymore and Geno plays such a minor role
 
if a character from any paper mario games comes, if wont make sense. can you imagine mario party? you would have peach, wario, mario and then a scrap of paper with a bad drawing of dimentio on it walking around.
 
I imagine if Dimentio or another Paper Mario character appeared in a 3D game, they would be rendered into a 3D character. After all, Mario and Co. are paper in the series, but they are 3D in the 3D games, so if PM characters were to appear, they would be 3D

SPM world designs were meant to be 2D in some aspects. But the other general RPG character designs are still based on the original Mario style or existed species. I don't think it's difficult to redesign them as 3D arts, unless you don't know what redesign is.

Also, Smash bros is an example trying to put all kind of different art designs together.

Well, that is what happened with the Star Spirits and the Goomba King.
 
Nintendo is currently making more money that squareenix at that moment so hopefully nintendo can buy the rights for Geno in the future. Square should'nt just sit on somthing their not even going to use. Also, Geno is kindof apart of mushroom kingdom history so they have to bring back eventually.
 
I don't think Nintendo even gives a ---- about Geno anymore, or just RPG characters in general.

I think you have to make sure that Nintendo just don't want to use minor RPG characters or they have copyright problems.

We can say Nintendo neglect Geno only after they had many other RPG characters return in new games without him. At least the last time I saw Mallow was same as Geno.
