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

No fighter really has any room to talk about removing important fan favorites.

 

[Solfiner]

Imagine if a Smash game removed Mario and Link.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Has any single MK character been in every game? Playable or not. Even if we skip vs DCU and Shaolin Monks.

The original ones are Kano, Lui Kang, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub Zero, Sonya, Reptile, Goro and Shan Tsun.

 

[AreJay25]

Imagine if a Smash game removed Mario and Link.

Don't worry, we'd still have Dr. Mario and Toon Link. /s

Has any single MK character been in every game? Playable or not. Even if we skip vs DCU and Shaolin Monks.

Sub Zero, unless you count the two brothers as separate characters.

 

[Chrono.]

Sub-Zero.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Mewtwo is a pretty important face of the Pokemon franchise and he got cut.

Sub-Zero.

Damn right too. Sub-Zero is better than Scorpion anyways.

Screw anyone who says otherwise.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Sub-Zero.

On a technicallity. The original Sub-Zero was killed in MK1 and replaced by his younger brother in 2.

 

[AreJay25]

Damn right too. Sub-Zero is better than Scorpion anyways.

Screw anyone who says otherwise.

Noob Saibot's better.

Not only was he Sub-Zero, he's cooler than Sub-Zero. Checkmate.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

He's important, but a low priority close to Pikachu, I guess. :\/

 

[A Distant Demon]

Oh come on.

You had the opportunity to say sub-zero was cooler.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Like Link was replaced with his descendant in Brawl?

 

[Deleted member]

His descendant. Twilight Princess takes place several years after Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Like Link was replaced with his descendant in Brawl?

Dont forget

Im about half sarcastic here.


A double posting warning. Havent seen one of those in a looooong time. The first grim reminder this isnt a group anymore.

Every leak with every veteran returning. Why. ;-;

Personally, I don't think we'll ever get partial results of the Ballot; .. they won't even mention the most voted when the thing be concluded;.. they'll just say "thank you all for your votes, the character(s) has been chosen; please, wait for news".. And then in 2016 a trailer is shown or something; It's the safer way..
--If they treat the results any other way, I can see a lot negative reception.. like people saying "x or y" character was robbed and such..

 

[JamesDNaux]

Zelda lore.

I own the Hyrule Historia, thanks.


Well now it's back to not posting.
I fix a post but someone still had to point it out.

 

[Khoru]

Actually she does have fans in Japan that want her games to be localized and a company called intergrow is gonna localize her games in japan. https://twitter.com/intergrow/status/531718513992286210

Here's PushDustin's translation of the twitter message:

"intergrow: October 16th, 2013: Good morning everyone. We are the team at Intergrow games. It's on the top page but, we will handle the release of the localization behind Shantae: Risky's Revenge and Mighty Switch Force!

Ketnolimit: November 7th: Mighty Switch Force has been distributed, but what happened with Shantae? Did the plan fall through?

intergrow: November 10th, 2014: Sorry to keep you waiting. The Japanese localization of Shantae will not be distributed via DSI Ware, but instead has been moved to the 3DS e-Shop. I think we will release more information about it next year, so please wait a little long!"

just because a character can get in doesn't mean they will
i'm not trying to be mean or burb or anything but there are only two indie games that come anywhere close to the importance of the third parties in smash already... and those are minecraft and touhou.
and they're... yeah. minecraft is microsoft's now anyway.

I mean... that doesn't really matter in this case unless it already came out. Like good for them that they might localize her games at some point but as of right now it's most likely a very small amount of people in Japan that are aware of her. Until it's 100% that her games are over there AND that they are selling well, she still doesn't have global support. And it's a GLOBAL ballot for Smash. So... yeah.

Didn't they remove Scorpion and Sub-Zero in that piss poor game.com port of Mortal Kombat Trilogy?

 

[AreJay25]

Didn't they remove Scorpion and Sub-Zero in that piss poor game.com port of Mortal Kombat Trilogy?

The port in question.

 

[Z25]

So I just ordered the amiibos for charziard, greinja, ness, and villager from amazon. but they won't be here till july :'(

 

[Substitution]

The port in question.

Never in my life did I think there was a worse MK handheld port than the Game Boy ones (honorable mention going to the GBA one).

 

[AreJay25]

Never in my life did I think there was a worse MK handheld port than the Game Boy ones (honorable mention going to the GBA one).

Honestly MK4 on Game Boy might still be the worst.

I will give it credit for probably having the easiest Shao Khan fight though.

 

[Solfiner]

So close to Sunday!!

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Honestly MK4 on Game Boy might still be the worst.

The fact it had unique differences depending if you played it on the GB, GBC, or GBA says otherwise. It wasn't good, but it had something going for it. Nothing beats the horrible MK Gold, a port of 4... it was completely broken and barely functioned right. -_-

Nah, ... Mortal Kombat on the Game.com was the worst port ever.

Wasn't MK Gold just 4 with more content though?

I don't know man, at least the Game.com didn't make my eyes and ears bleed like GB MK4.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

It crashed severely often. More than most games. E.T. was more functional as a game, to put it simply.

Oh really? I don't have much experience with Gold so I was unaware that was an issue.

 

[Substitution]

Still, at least worse case with that game you could ditch it and play much, much better Game Boy games.
The Hell did Game.com have?

 

[Tr1pleDee]

So since you all are posting your original wishlists, and E3 is fast approching, I figured I should contribute. Although for the life of me I couldn't remember who I wanted, so instead I dug through my twitter to find all of my smash-related reactions!

There's a lot, so I'll spoiler tag it.

Spoiler

So in 2013 I was more into flipnotes, Pokemon and Minecraft, so I didn't have too many tweets regarding smash...

This is the first reaction I had. I don't think any of us saw that coming...

This is the next thing I could find. At the time Sonic was my secondary in Brawl... so I wanted him back. Also was salty over Luigi getting announced over a newcomer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I got pretty excited here. Funny part is I don't even play Sonic in smash 4...

Wasn't too hype for Rosalina. Thought she was gimmicky...

This one isnt directly smash related but looking back at it, kinda funny.

I think here I was less hype for Little Mac and more hype for Pac-Man and Mii being essentially confirmed. And thus started the age of Gematsu...

Posted this right after Gematsu pt. 2 was leaked. I already wanted a RH character, so I jumped on that Chorus Kids hype train right away. And to this day, I'm still riding it...

Right before the smash direct. I wanted Pac-Man.

Reactions to Greninja. I was pretty hype, I don't think these tweets showed that enough.

Here were my first prediction rosters. Not sure which came first, but they were both in the period between Greninja and Ike. The Gematsu bias is strong.

Oh, younger me. If only you were aware of what was to come... *sniff*

Needless to say this threw me for a loop. I was one of many that predicted Chrom over Ike. Also this was the first Pic of the Day character I witnessed.

I was SUPER hype for Pac-Man, even though he was expected. Palutena and the Miis were also expected, but I wasn't too thrilled. Gematsu was at its absolute peak at this point.

Aaaaaand this was my first ever post on smashboards! Dream roster, still gematsu-biased. Although this was in the general character discussion thread, ugh. So glad I found you guys to hang around instead.

Although now that I had a an account here, that meant less tweets because I would post my reactions here instead. Specifically, I didn't tweet about Robin/Lucina. I'm not going to bother finding my smashboards post about it. But I do remember fearing what may become of my precious Chorus Kids... (and Shulk, to a lesser extent)

ESRB leak + Shulk trailer reactions. Again, I think my main reaction was in the old leaks thread.

I liked Duck Hunt.

But anyway, thats all the twitter stuff I could find. Interesting seeing the whole timeline. But alas, where are my Chorus Kids?

Man, what a long journey it has been. Smash has really changed my life, however corny that may sound. Reacting, speculating, discussing, playing; It just became my passion.
although im not gonna lie splatoon is pretty cool

 

[AreJay25]

Still, at least worse case with that game you could ditch it and play much, much better Game Boy games.
The Hell did Game.com have?

Classics like Duke Nukem 3D!

... oh.

Err... Sonic Jam!

... I see what you mean.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Oh really? I don't have much experience with Gold so I was unaware that was an issue.

It crashes the most during Arcade Mode. It's a very difficult to finish game. it's a cool game in theory, but it was awful. No "So bad it's good", either. That's something 06, Wii U Boom, etc. can say. This game? Nah. Was just bad.

 

[Radical Bones]

My Radical DLC Wishlist:

1. Ice Climbers
2. Captain Toad
3. Dixie Kong
4. King K. Rool
5. Any new Zelda rep, even (especially) Tingle.

Stages:

1. Angel Island Zone
2. Clock Tower (Majora's Mask)
3. Saffron City HD
4. Mushroom Kingdom 2 HD
5. Retro Ice Climber (similar to DH)

Mii Costumes:

1. Tails as Gunner
2. Knuckles as Brawler
3. Magnus (KI) as Swordsman
4. Bayonetta as Gunner
5. Shovel Knight as Swordsman
6. Any Punch Out! character as Brawler

I can give or take most of these, but if Capcom got exclusive Mii costumes, we better get ones for Sonic characters!

 

[Substitution]

Classics like Duke Nukem 3D!

... oh.

Err... Sonic Jam!

... I see what you mean.

Oh, and don't forget the commercials.

Because obviously the best way to market your console is to belittle your targeted demographic.

 

[AreJay25]

The 90's were weird, man.

Eh, there have been just as bad cases today.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

Hey, don't say a thing about 90's. best age EVAH! >:T... *Return to listen BackStreet Boys*

 

[AreJay25]

At least Splatoon is a good product and doesn't call its customers idiots, lol.

Hey, don't say a thing about 90's. best age EVAH! >:T... *Return to listen BackStreet Boys*

Okay, not everything from the 90's was weird.
