ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!
If you have and other ideas, you may add them. But they must be based off of franchises owned by Nintendo (or franchises that are REPRESENTED in the Super Smash Bros. series.):


 * Movies represent playable characters.
 * TV shows consist of franchises that were stage- and assist trophy-based.
 * Graphic novels consist of song-, item- and enemy-based franchises, as well as minor universes within SSB.
 * Potential projects are NOT part of the NCU at the moment, but are what I would like to see in future Smash games/updates.
