NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[DMurr]

that seems really silly
yeah this is horrible and all but villager literally does what balloon fighter would. not even in the sense of "we have sword users". they turn into it. balloons and all

I didn't necessarily mean character. Just some sort of tribute.. like even a couple of trophies of things he worked on.

 

[Deleted member]

i'm really curious, but when he said that?

Because I really love this quote and i never heard it until yesterday

As you can see, I changed my sig and avi too

Really love the new site banner btw

As for why I still am happy, it;s because I went through most of it yesterday, I think I should stay optimistic and devoted as I am now

E3 2005 or 2006 cant remember

 

[TheAnvil]

It's not like Balloon Fighter's moveset would entirley consist of just one attack or anything....

But like I said, if not this game (Which looks to be very unlikely yeah) than most likely next game and I can see Sakurai changing Villager's up special to something else if he really wanted to implement Balloon Fighter by then.

I actually think there's a ton of potential there for a very creative moveset for Balloon Fighter.

 

[AreJay25]

Well, if you want to get technical, there's already a tribute to Iwata in the form of the Balloon Fight stage.

 

[Champ Gold]

I seriously think it really sucks because I will probably play paper jam.

Beat it.

Watch the credits and Realise Iwata isn;t the executive producer

No his name will still be there since he's was still alive during the development so his name will still be there. Same for Str Fox Zero, Super Mario Maker, Hyrule Warriors 3DS, FE Fates and yes, that includes Federation Force

 

[Z25]

I would want a trophy of Iwata released with next update. Don't know how likely it is though...

oh, well, at the very least I can enjoy Paper mario while remembering him

Altough, jsut one thing and I tag @ PushDustIn for this, but I jsut got an email for a new SG article, but it 404 if i try to read it.....

why?

If Sakurai put Smash DLC on hold to 2016.
I would completely understand. I really want to see some sort of Iwata tribute though.
Seeing how without him Smash would never been.

Do you guys think Sakurai will make some sort of Smash tribute as part of the DLC, or is that a silly thought?

I would love to see Wii U get a HD Baloon Fight stage.

Fortunately, there's no way that would happen. We know Sakurai well enough to know that he works even through injuries. I take it that applies to even emotional ones. He did tweet about going to work today because he knew that's what Iwata would want.

God Bless Nintendo.
And God Bless Sakurai.
I don't I could cope if I was him :'(

 

[Naoshi]

I put a bit more time into it, I've mostly gotten through the initial shock.

Is that the GS ball? Nice touch.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

 

[Khoru]

Oh c'mon, are you really going to use that silly "he has no moveset potential" argument just because one other character has one move that is thematically the same.

Balloon Fighter won't be DLC, I'm sure of it, but it's absolutely NOT because Villager has a BF inspired recovery.

Unless we're literally talking about a character like another standard FE Lord (and only because we already have 4 of them), the "no moveset potential" argument just doesn't fly. At all.

see i think we should have a wild gunman in smash
they're unique because they use guns and are cowboys
they're not already Literally Part of somebody's moveset

I didn't necessarily mean character. Just some sort of tribute.. like even a couple of trophies of things he worked on.

oh yeah that's fair. my statement wasn't specifically @ you

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Wild Gunmen are even more part of someone's moveset than Balloon Fighter.

It's a French translation of "Thank Iwata for Smash". Still trying to figure out how to handle multiple languages.

 

[Souless_shadow]

Oh my god I love this. This is really the first thing that has made me close to crying, and I don't usually cry when I am sad. I usually only cry when something is just so beautiful and deeply moving, and that is what this is.

Balloon Fighter is not part of anyone's moveset, so your comparison is literally non-existent.

Unless Little Mac isn't in Smash because Villager also uses Boxing gloves? Also soz K. Rool fans. GG.

 

[Khoru]

yeah this argument isn't worth wasting time on

 

[Dravidian]

.....Villager?

 

[DMurr]

.....Villager?

I think he means that the actual Wild Gunmen show up for Duck Hunt's attack(s), but Villager just wears a hat. So, arguably the full character doesn't show up.

Ah. That's what happens when you skim the thread.
My apologies @ TheAnvil

 

[TheAnvil]

.....Villager?

On what planet does Villager wearing a hat turn him into a different character???

 

[DoodleDuck97]

The Nintendo World Store in New York.

And only now do I realise exactly why Puppets were used at E3 this year. :'(

 

[Frostwraith]

Yes, the Villager's up special is reference to Balloon Fight to the point of the animations being exactly the same as the Balloon Fighter in the NES game, but I don't think that would have any bearing on Balloon Fighter's inclusion nor does he become a different character because of that.

A lot of characters share moves with others without being clones.

Balloon Fighter has been pondered by Sakurai but was deemed as unviable and this likely doesn't have any bearing on the Villager's inclusion or design.

The fact Villager uses the balloon from Balloon Fight is likely an allusion to how Animal Crossing had playable NES games included.

 

[pupNapoleon]

Not to derail the topic, but one of you that also feels a little too affected by Iwata's death- PM me? I did not realize how much of a legitimate role model he became for me.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Even Flipnote.

Still confused why Flipnote 3D hasn't reached the UK Yet.

Thank you for the Twins Iwata without you I would never have them.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Do you guys think Sakurai will make some sort of Smash tribute as part of the DLC, or is that a silly thought?

I would like to see an Iwata trophy as a tribute.

I can't get enough of these sweet drawings.

Man, it's almost been a day, and it still feels like a dream.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I don't feel horribly griefed about Iwata's loss like this morning, I've come to accept one of gaming's greatest heroes has died...Iwata, however, won't truly die until his influence is forgotten. I've still got games he's worked on, and plan on getting more in the future, and to make him happy in the afterlife, I'll support his company. You could truly tell he had fun through his life as Nintendo's president. Alas, all good things must come to an end. But my god, where these some good times we had. All I can do now is salute Iwata, and I'm making sure that N3ON's Iwata ribbon stays on my avi for as long as possible to show my love for his work. To Satoru Iwata, one of the...No...THE best thing to happen to the gaming industry!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Let's not add Balloon Fighter just for his sake.

It kind of cheapens Iwata's death and Balloon Fighter.

 

[Chrono.]

I think an Iwata trophy is the best way to tribute him.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Considering pretty much every company has griefed with Iwata's loss...Maybe...Maybe they'll choose to take Iwata's advice and focus on fun. Wonder if Rockstar and WB had anything to say though

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I have to agree.

We're all saddened by this.

But moping here for too long is only going to make things worse.

We should have some fun. It's what he always wanted. :D

 

[DoodleDuck97]

An Iwata Amiibo would be great.
Seeing how created the entire concept.
"In late 2013, Satoru Iwata sat alone on a bullet train headed toward Tokyo. As the carriage sped silently down the track, Iwata, the puckish CEO of Nintendo, began sketching out a new idea: a line of physical toys with built-in chips that connected wirelessly to the company’s varied game systems. The toys would let Nintendo trade on its universe of characters like Mario and Donkey Kong while generating new sales."
Also can someone inform me how to put this in one of those boxes similar to spoilers?
EDIT:
The idea for an Iwata Amiibo. All the profits go towards helping Cancer. I would buy so many IwatAmiibo's.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Exactly. Iwata is unique as fun is his priority. We should respect that Iwata and Nintendo as a whole are very consumer friendly for the most part, with YT copyright as an exception
