Dillon's Last Round Up. Dillon the AT (In glorious HD)

[Bowserlick]

A dig mechanic would be neat.

Also, fans will feel less sad when Sonic is killed off and does not show up for the fourth installment. At least there will be another rolling animal to take his place.

 

[Nietendodude]

Change his scarf, boots, spikes and gloves. Like in the game.

That's fine but on the screen (especially on the 3DS) the accessories he wears are small compared to his shell is the most dominant color on him. Changing the shell would be easier for players to see and differ between multiple Dillons.

All you need is subtle differences. Sonic is a great example of this.

As the little girl said on the taco shell commerical said

Why not both (sonic and dillion)

Besides the only problem i see is lack of moveset all i see is rolling and claw attacks and thats the same nerfs that sonic had in brawl way way to many spinning attacks and project M repaired that

Unless dillion can kicking and can make digging possible

and i learned a counter attack for being too new problem roy got in melee before his game even came witch is the game with his first appearance ever in fire emblem

Of coarse moveset is not that bad of a problem if pheonix wright got in marvel vs capcom 3 any moveset that fits for lack of moveset characters is possible

Final words count me in for dillon support

Sonic is a horrible example.

 

[DoubleYooToo]

Sonic is a horrible example.

It's not hard to tell the different sonics apart at all, but even then, there'd be more difference in Dillon's bandana, gloves, spikes and boots than there would be in Sonic's wrists and shoes.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, it's so not difficult, they have "colorblind" rules in doubles matches about him and Lucario....oh wait....

He has items like dynamite and gems he could use to spice up his move set. I could totally see him throwing a gem for his U-air and it can cycle between the three types(Freeze, Bomb, Super Bomb)

Dillon never kicks though. EVER

Ok that helps is moveset

I disagree, I find it hard to tell Sonics apart except for the default and black, all the others are difficult to tell apart in the midst of a game. Lucario's not quite as bad, but I still confuse blue and green team Lucarios at quick glance. Dillon would probably be easier to tell apart then those two, but Sonic is definitely not a good example.

 

[Pazzo.]

I did post a color scheme in the thread of color palette swap. I will leave it here if you want to add it.

.n_n.

I love these... you even included a 'Dark' Dillon!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I did some checking and Dillon's Rolling Western was released just before Kid Icarus: Uprising was released. So if nothing else he existed when the Smash 4 development started.

 

[DoubleYooToo]

At the very least, the colour of his skin shouldn't be something that changes,it just looks stupid.

 

[Zhadgon]

I did base most of the colors with the bounty hunters that appear in his last game.

I gotta say that I'm a big fan those three specifically (I'm assuming they're the bottom ones, right?).

That's a neat idea! A color scheme based on Gallo, Boone and Nomad? Genius!

Yup, I mean in what more you can base of his color scheme

Sonics back

And i want to remind you people sonic does not destory this guys possibility to be confirmed for smash bros wii u

We (at least "should") know this. Dillon won't play like Sonic at all if he is put in he is unique enough to not be a clone.

Sorry for the late reply, for some reason my alerts are going crazy (x_X) and yes the bottom three are the ones that represent the bounty hunters, the other two I need more colors to contrast but still based on something, for example the Blue one is inspired by his scarf but with a reverse color scheme and the Pink one result in mistake when I was doing it (it was going to be red) but then realize that it look good enough and decide to mix some of colors on it and ta da, thats where all the color swaps come.

Cool stuff!
I'd have to say that my favorite two colors would be Boone's and Gallo's.

I assume is the lizard one and the squid one?

No Boone is the bear, Gallo is the lizard though.

Oh ok thanks, I always mix them up for some reason XD.

Well, how does anyone feel about a Dillon's Rolling Western (D'SRW) for the Wii U?

 

[N3ON]

I'd buy it. Dunno how likely it is we'll get more Dillon considering his games didn't do great (both commercially or critically - though commercially is more important for sequels), but it's not impossible, and if we did end up getting more games, I'd support them.

Hopefully a Wii U version would expand on things a bit more.

Critics can go forth and multiply on this one.

One of the most creative games I've ever played. If this game had been somehow created in the late 90s, it'd be heralded as a game that changed gaming and held in the same esteem as titles like Half Life and Ocarina of Time.

Yep. I feel like Rolling Western got a really bad rap... I blame a lazy generation of COD whippersnappers.

 

[N3ON]

Even if it had been released at the time of OoT and Half-Life, to be fair, while it would've been seen as a lot more original, we can't pretend it had the polish or overall quality of either of those games. I'm not saying DRW wasn't fun, and it was good (not great), but comparing it to two of the best video games ever? No, I can't say it matches up to either of them. Very few games do. Just because it'd be original doesn't mean that would fix all its other flaws.

The only legitimate flaw reviewers have pointed out is the fact that you can't see enemies that are behind you in battle. Ocarina of Time is significantly more flawed in its gameplay functions.

It did not do that well commercially because there were a lot of people who didn't even know about the existence of Dillon's Rolling Western. And critically isn't that true. At least what I saw in the german game reviews, the games were more the category you love or hate, especially because of the stress situation you're at all the time and also because of the touchscreen controls. Some feel fine with the controls, other ones would have prefered a button alternative control option.
And the first game must have sold more or less good for an eShop title, otherwise they wouldn't have done a sequel as you said. That said, there was already a certain group of gamers who appreciated the first game and bought the 2nd one too. As already said, the 2nd game makes a lot of things better than the 1st one, so if you want to enter the series, you can just jump at the 2nd game immediatly. Also, the games content was amazing for an eShop title. Count the hours you have to play until you can complete one of the both games once. For a game with such a low price, 20-25 hours is quite amazing. Also as you are always in a hurry, you won't be bored by playing the very different stages(especially the stages from the sequel were less flat designed and by that really interesting to roll around)

What is also getting clear when someone reads through this thread: It doesn't even matter if you know Dillon or you don't, his design is so individual and interesting that people get interested in what games the character is from and if Nintendo wants to sell DRW1+2, it would be the most intelligent way to promote him. And even if you don't like DRW, the character is still an interesting one for the roster, also in terms of potential movesets. There is no doubt he would be a great addition, even, if not that many people know him.

Amen Brother.

I agree, the game has amazing potential... so let's not let the series die just yet.

Question: Can we have Kon's post tagged to the OP??

 

[Nietendodude]

Hey can we get some more support for the Ranger here. I just checked out that little survey thing and he only had a few votes. anyone who is a fan of Dillion show your support and vote for him to get him noticed by others.

 

[kikaru]

If anyone cares you can download Dillon's Rolling Western for 3DS through Club Nintendo for 200 coins as well as the original Metroid for 150. I'm tempted to bag both.

Oooh, this looks like the perfect opportunity!
I'll go finally find out what makes Dillon's Rolling Western a great game.
Just one question, does this game require the R Button, because my R button is broken :/

 

[cephalopod17]

It uses the L button extensively. My situation is the exact opposite, and my L button is broke.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Good, I think I might just download it real soon.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm downloading right now, Are you sure this doesn't require the R button?

 

[cephalopod17]

I'm sure. Mines, Guntowers, Cracks In the Wall....All uses the L button.

 

[MasteRMerF]

Downloaded it the other day. Only on the second day, pretty fun so far though.
