Sylux's backstory involved the Galactic Federarion, who've mostly been used to go "Look how corrupt this government with military force is". Considering the Prime games have depicted GF as the good guys with little to no issues, Sylux is likely planned to expose their warcrimes or some **** to give Samus inner conflict, it also adds up with the future timeline considering what happens in Fusion
Ah, I see you're a man of culture too.
I wouldn't be worried. I actually do think this was supposed to be a E3 reveal, unless there were ever plans for a full Nintendo Direct earlier this year.
Either that or they just can't put a direct together right now and we'll be seeing shadow drops until the end of summer or until fall.
We know for a fact that Directs have been affected by COVID19 and that there have been reports Nintendo won't have a Direct, so can't understand this optimism in a huge Direct
What are you talking about?
Ew, please no. Super Metroid is a near perfect game a remake would just detract from that. It’s still a beautiful game and one that’s very easy to go back to. Game Boy Metroid II on the other hand? A pain to play then, a pain to play now, so it deserved a remake.
People have said this many times and it usually ends up just leading to disappointment. Case in point, when they did a mini Nintendo Direct a few weeks before E3, which had people saying "If they had to put THIS in a Mini Direct, they must have some CRAZY stuff coming in E3! That E3, we were treated to an amazing show including ten minutes of Reggie talking about Skylanders, trailers for games that already released in other regions like Xenoblade X, and the reveals of Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Metroid Prime Federation Force, and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival.
Bruh, you can’t really compare the Wii U era to the Switch Era. Everything about the Wii U’s E3s were a disaster.
E3 2014 was pretty great though.
Okay, but aren't you hand-picking one of the most underwhelming E3s to emphasize your point? There have been times when Nintendo actually did have a lot of good stuff to announce.
Gribbo's not propagating a doom-and-gloom attitude here in the slightest, just cautious optimism. I think we can all agree to think twice before suspecting bigger fish, even though that's not entirely out of the question. If anything, this day and age is a more appropriate time than EVER to keep expectations modest regarding general game announcements, even in the face of Origami King's reveal yesterday.
I feel like BOTW needs to actually have good characters who show up for more than 15 minutes if we're going to talk getting a character in Smash, and actually have one that's more important than the others that doesn't just end up another version of the main trio. BOTW easily had some of the least developed and interesting side characters of the entire Zelda series, so they've got a LOT of work to do.
I looked back and I apologize, I misunderstood your post as taking Paper Mario as an appetizer for what's in store for saying that this is building up hype for the next Direct, which we already know won't be for months
We honestly don't have any idea when the next direct is.
I disagree. Not all of the characters hit home for me, but I do feel like they did a really good job getting the player to sympathize with the characters despite their brief appearances. Talking to the NPCs and learning more about what these characters were like helps a lot, and that's part of the reason why Urbosa and Mipha were so well received.
I should point out:
But Miyamoto does have a certain tendency to view gameplay (and new mechanics - or gimmicks if one is less charitable) as more important than the characters - and characters in service to the gameplay. Like "Playable character", "Bad dude", "Ally" etc. Characters aren't that important in games like the main Super Mario games or Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars in EU) - and that's where that approach works. But as you noted, when a series is stuck in perpetual hell or when games are heavily associated with characters like the first three Paper Mario games... yeah that approach becomes a problem because it risks stagnation. I just feel Miyamoto's too inflexible with that, but it's difficult to criticize when that approach built a massive video game company.
I think he just has a natural cool factor. Though like I said, I also like Weavel and Spire a lot too. Both on their cool factor and their backstories. We also know Sylux has a grudge against the feds and Samus, but hasn't gone in detail yet.
We’ll get a Sakurai video like everyone so far besides Joker.
He'll never innovate anymore the medium but I'm certain many of the fantastic elements of design and polish Nintendo games have derive from his work mentality and creativity. Yes, he'll never push videogames towards a story-heavy character-driven thematic-deep project, sure. But I think he's behind many little adjustments and user-friendly decisions many Nintendo games have.
You say it as a joke, but I would unironically be totally okay with Sidon being in Smash.You're really gonna do best fish dirty like that.
I asked people for generic enemies, not main characters.
you think we'll get another digest video announced in advance like this?
I think a proper guardian would work fine for a character. Just make it smaller, maybe a bit taller and wider than Ridley. As long at it's bigger and than link ,it should feel right.
Scouts would definitely then the roaming Stalkers. They're already around the right size, and they have more moveset potential thanks to their ability to wield weapons and shields on top of lasers like their overworld counterparts.
I believe early english materials called them Mets, but I could be wrong. Alternatively, it's a Berenstein/Berenstain thing where a super common and subtle misunderstanding creates strong memories of something false being true? I have memories of calling them both names, so I actually had to google their proper names first, aha.
