Is there a reason for Melee G&W over Brawl & Smash 4 G&W?I put a Melee G&W emoticon at the end of a post 99% of the time (the other 1% is a combination of Brawl and 4 G&W emoticons). Usually green, since that's the color I use, but in some cases, I use other colors.
I was originally going to have a Furret emoticon along with a Game and Watch emoticon at the end of my posts. I thought it would be weird to have both emoticons facing the same direction, so I chose Melee G&W.Is there a reason for Melee G&W over Brawl & Smash 4 G&W?
It's Gaem nd Wotch, Sanic, Yoshay and Kurbey. (Gosh, that hurt my brain to write. Poor spelling pains me.)
That would be interesting. Tho I think perhaps it should be his Spear being the main thing but use some other abilities from other waddle dees. Because spear-only may not be the best thing. Idk.
No clue how it would work if it was actually in the game, but my idea is that you quickly charge a shot (not as powerful as item) that can be aimed and launched.
You should not expect anything from nintendo, ever. = u = it is better if it comes out as a surprise than thinking it will happen, and then it doesn't.

We did 50 pages in 2 weeks, so anythings possible I guess.Since this thread moves so quickly on good days, who here thinks we'll get to page 800?
Me!
But all the cool kids fight wearing plaid oven gloves!I'd hope so, but I wouldn't count on it. Even if they do though, it might not end up a good way, have you guys seen
I went into this when the same came up in the K. Rool thread a few weeks ago (and provided citations there), but to keep it brief, this is because whilst Namco do own Ms. Pac-Man, they are required to pay royalties to General Computer Corporation every time her game, merchandise featuring her, etcetera, is released.

. I think adding it into my forum posts would make them look cluttered, seeing as I already have a signature anyway. I hope we do. I don't know if we will or if they'll opt for another 3DS installment, though. I would prefer a 3DS title, to be honest.
Even all these years on, people (actually not referring to yourself here even though I'm quoting you, Feelicks - it's just something I see all over the place and your post makes me think of it
) frequently make the mistake of thinking that "making the shift to 3D" is something that should or must be done for platformers, but it would be a poor idea for the Kirby series to have such a game in it.An "easy to pick up, difficult to master" sort of thing? It does sound fun, though it could make him a bit divisive. I like the idea, though, as that would live up to him being a character you shouldn't underestimate.
Bandana Dee a god, confirmed?
Well, we've got virtual confirmation of more Super Mario series Amiibo via the new Mario Tennis Ultra Smash news, at least.
It takes a long time to reorganise after the passing of an important person, big company or not. Don't forget, they're not a faceless entity - the company is made up of human beings.
I don't know where to find exact numbers regarding Kirby Air Ride, but it can be inferred that they weren't anywhere near what was expected, because not only did we never see another Kirby racer, but when Kid Icarus Uprising was getting flack a few years ago, Sakurai mentioned how poorly-received Air Ride was (I believe this with the implication that this was unjust, which I agree with - Air Ride deserved a lot better).
), would have turned out. I was really looking forward to that one back in the day.
"Kirby Air Ride sold 422,311 copies in Japan and 750,000 in the United States."

I always wondered how the N64 title that Kirby Air Ride was derived from, Kirby's Air Ride (yep, the apostrophe and "s" differentiate them
Ouch. No wonder Sakurai didn't work on the series afterward too. Uprising also underperformed in sales, which bums me out."Kirby Air Ride sold 422,311 copies in Japan and 750,000 in the United States."
- Wikipedia (Which means it's probably fairly inaccurate, but either way, these are terrible sells for a 1st party game)
I would've played it, but the control scheme is terrible.
Sakurai never made sequels for them because he does not enjoy making sequels, as he has outright said numerous times; he was coerced into nearly every Smash sequel.
Thanks man. That's about what I'd heard said, though I couldn't put my hands on the numbers."Kirby Air Ride sold 422,311 copies in Japan and 750,000 in the United States."

The default scheme is very unwieldy and incredibly bad for the wrists (it amazes me that Sakurai, who is well-known to have shoulder/arm problems, designed this
), but it has a full remapping option in-game. I set up an unusual one that worked out really well for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the game after that. It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played in spite of the huge control scheme flaws.That is true, but there are at least some staple ideas that have been revisited, usually involving turning Kirby into a ball. It would definitely be nice to see racing revisited at some point.
I truly do not know to what you refer- Kirby turning into a ball is no where on my list of 'things I associate with Kirby.'That is true, but there are at least some staple ideas that have been revisited, usually involving turning Kirby into a ball.

I want to drive around Castle Dedede as Dedede on his Wheelie Bike and crash out through the roof!
I loved the game but as a left-hander, I was practically forced to use my thumb for it and man would be numb after a few chapters or online battles.
Don't pick Dedede, pick Sheik!
Dude, I eat Sheiks for breakfast. One of the guys from my crew plays Sheik and he got training from friggin' ZeRo and I still beat him with Dedede. I don't know how but I did it. I'm probably one of the few people who thinks D3 can hold up well in that matchup lolDon't pick Dedede, pick Sheik!
Maybe he has issues with Dedede (I overestimate his lag a lot), since Sheik vs Dedede is pretty easy, if very boring (Sheik will have to land 50 attacks just to kill Dedede once. Sheik can combo Dedede into oblivion.
Thanks a lot, man. I'll do my best.Maybe he has issues with Dedede (I overestimate his lag a lot), since Sheik vs Dedede is pretty easy, if very boring (Sheik will have to land 50 attacks just to kill Dedede once. Sheik can combo Dedede into oblivion.
Still, good luck. I'm not old enough (or good enough) to enter a tournament.
Good luck, Feelicks! Go show 'em what-for!
The following Kirby games all use the concept of Kirby being turned into a ball. Some of them are follow-ups to older titles.
I'm not the only one who finds this match-up to not be as bad as others say it is?! Wow, just wow.
Haha, I do, but the question is, do you know the meaning behind the name "Tortilla Noggin"?
It's actually really closely-related to the Kirby series.I wanna know. It actually sounds very interesting.Haha, I do, but the question is, do you know the meaning behind the name "Tortilla Noggin"?
Believe it or not, it's an opportunity for me to talk really obscure Kirby trivia, and the thread's been so quiet lately due to the lack of news that I'd love to do so.
Okay, surely yer just jestin'!
Alright!
"Made in OuLiPo - The Popopo and the Dedede and the Tortilla Noggin".That... is actually pretty friggin' amazing. I wish my name had a backstory like that lmao. Mine is just a play on words on my irl name (Felix) that one of my friends called me and it's stuck as a nickname.Alright!
We all know that Kirby's original name prior to the release of the game that ultimately became Kirby's Dream Land/Hoshi no Kirby, was Popopo. This is very well-known.
The observant will have noticed that the rest of the original triple-syllabic naming scheme still remains in the game. HAL guest-stars Lolo and Lala had their names lengthened to Lololo and Lalala, and of course, there's Dedede as well. Also, the name used for the region on Popstar that we call Dream Land is, instead, Pupupu Land in Japan.
But why did they choose this? I discovered this entirely by accident when searching for Dedede merchandise on eBay.
When doing so, I encountered a book from France - "Made in OuLiPo - Le Popopo et le Dedede et La Tortilla du Ciboulot". THIS was where the names Popopo and Dedede came from! Now, my French is incredibly bad, so I had to employ Google Translate to learn more, and as far as I can tell, it's some sort of set of rules for aiding in creating fiction where, partly, you take portions of words to create other words, in which "the Popopo" and "the Dedede" are considered "the essential ingredients".
From this, we can also see how they got the name of Pupupu Land. In Japan, "puyo" is an onomatopoeia meaning "soft and squishy", which is a description that can easily and fairly be used for Dream Land's cute and cuddly residents - "Pupupu" would have come from that.
As for Tortilla Noggin, well, when I was Google Translating the info on the book, I Google Translated the title first. It's simply the next name in the sequence.
