I disagree with The Subspace Emissary being fan service. It was anything but fan service and that was one of the main reasons why it sucked so hard. Most of the enemies were made up (and they didn't even look cool). The storyline required Spark Notes from Sakurai on the Brawl website to make any sense and barely played off of the respective series. The series is a celebration of the long histories of each of these franchises and SSE ignored almost all of it. Fail.

In Smash Bros 4, I'd prefer they not even bother with an adventure mode. Get the game out sooner and focus on making multiplayer the best it can be (with a competent online mode).

Can't agree with that one at all!  I actually thought the SSE in Brawl was indeed fan service.  The cut scenes offered a cinematic display of all of Nintendo's characters working together to take on a new enemy.  It gave Smash Bros. a story and gave a purpose as to why they are all fighting.  Seeing all the characters interact that way without voices implemented was pure genius!  I liked it and I know many others that did so it didn't suck!  If it's not your thing don't play it but it was a much better one player mode than was offered in Melee.  The fact that it was co-op made it even better!  It also forced you to play certain characters at specific parts which was a great way to get players into characters they usually wouldn't play as.  It was one of the reasons I kick ass as Olimar.  I'm looking forward to something similar in the next one and Samus being a faster character.  She was a little too slow in Brawl

Jumping in late, but who says Mario or Mega Man or Donkey Kong or Fox should be female? We all know they're male and there's no denying it. My prime reasoning behind the theory is that every game besides Majora's Mask, Phantom hourglass and Spirit Tracks has featured an entirely different person performing the role of "Link". If one is to believe that there is a timeline between games, that means there has to have been girls and babies and some kind of lineage passed down. Were the girls all just useless NPCs who never amounted to anything and thus weren't worth making a game about? That's kind of biased..

As biased as it may sound, I'm not doubting the existence of some Link mothers out there.  I'm just saying, "Who really cares about them?".  I seriously doubt that whatever adventure they had to deal with before they gave birth to a Link is really that significant.

Also, eventhough there are many different Links, they all have the same defining characteristics (green tunic, long ears, swordsman, and male) and that's how most fans want him to remain and be depicted.  I've beaten every Zelda under the sun (made by Nintendo and Capcom), and I don't think I'm in the minority when I say, I'm not interested in playing as a female Link.

There have been different leading playable Snakes in the Metal Gear Solid series.  But if I had to star as a female Snake, I'd have to pass.  It was tough playing as Old Snake in MGS4.  Regardless of how the role of Link is defined gamers expect him to be male and would be resistant to a gender change.  You saw the controversy regarding Wink Waker's graphics when that trailer was first published, right?  I think a female Link would spark a similar response.  Bottom line and call it sexist if you want but a female Link will sell less...

No, no, no.  Your other ideas are good but Link should never be a female in any capacity!  You want a playable female lead in Zelda make it Princess Zelda and give her her own game!

Nobody wants to see Link a female, or Mario or Megaman or Donkey Kong or Fox, etc.  I love Zelda games but I would never play one with Link being female.  A female main character in Zelda maybe but not Link!
