Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

Here is a new topic:

What would be your Dream Launch release for the NX? Either personally, or for Nintendo to Succeed.

Dream: Mario 64-2
Good idea: Smash 4 rerelease with more features and characters.
Da Money: Super Mario World 2

I'm an anime character and I find this offensive.

Most anime characters have incredibly specific powers and are often giant Mary and Marty Stus who rise above everything and everyone that is thrown at them, no matter how dire it looks for them.

It's pretty much necessary to leave them out of that type of scenario.

 

[Firus]

Is this the description of your avatar?

Well no, that's just because Dr. Kelso is a character I appreciate from a show I love and "has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap" works well for a title.

But yeah he's kinda my type.

We've got a week until SCEJA and then 2 days later is TGS. I'm so excited! Obviously we're all hoping for more Sm4sh DLC details, but what else is everyone hoping to see?
Persona-lly (heh) I'm really expecting the final deets on Persona 5 (release date and maybe a few more gameplay details)
and then hoping we get to see at least some kind of teaser for Zelda U (maybe like the name of it at least) and some other deets on Nintendo stuff that's coming out within the next year.
EDIT: Also, whatever new Street Fighter V details we're getting!

It's because my attempts at philosophy failled.

And let's play a little game shall we?

Here's what I want you to do.

1. Think of your favorite horror movie
2. Think of your favorite cartoon character. No anime characters.

That character is now stuck in that movie. Do they survive?

1. I don't watch horror movies. Though Godzilla (1954) counts as a horror movie, so I guess I pick that by default.
2. I don't know who would be my "favorite". Maybe Coop from Megas XLR? Aku from Samurai Jack? Dale Gribble from King of the Hill? Dr. Robotnik from AoStH? There are plenty others that would fight for the top spot, but I'll just stick to those four.

Aku would definitely survive if not prove to be the bigger threat. "AKU IS BEYOND DESTRUCTION!"
Coop by himself would probably be screwed, but if he has Megas......maybe?
Dale be ded.
........I have no clue how jolly ol' PINGAS would fare. Too many variables.

Exactly why I excluded them.

The far majority of them would live without any real issues.

Not very interesting.

Here is a new topic:

I posed the question because I wanted to answer it myself after reading more rumours.
I think a possibility would be (if a home console):

• Pikmin 4
• Fire Emblem
• Donkey Kong Country Kountry Returns 3
• Mario Galaxy 3
• Kingdom Hearts 3
• Final Fantasy

How many hours have passed since that uncertain Pokémon leak was posted? Uncertain because it can go either way, honestly

 

[Kenith]

I don't have a horror movie. However I have a favorite horror game.
Resident Evil! :D So we'll go with that.

I'd say my favorite cartoon character is...
Fluttershy.

And she would die. Horribly. Immediately.

Nah jk she'd live by flying away from the zombies.
But she'd irreparably have the image of zombies and death etched into her little pegasus mind.
...I think there's something wrong with me.

@ Swamp Sensei

Age ain't nothing but a number. I do have a limit of age but I am into older women.

I do cougars

How many hours have passed since that uncertain Pokémon leak was posted? Uncertain because it can go either way, honestly

Wednesday at midnight. My best bet

 

[Deleted member]

I don't like horror movies so I don't have one, but, Samurai Jack would wreck a horror movie.

 

[pupNapoleon]

I wonder if the next amiibo will be puppets; last year the style mirrored an aesthetic of the direct. This year it may as well, starting with Star Fox.

You responded to that post seriously?

Okay then...

Well, my favorite (non-anime) cartoon character is probably Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm not sure what I'd say my favorite horror movie is, but I think she can handle whatever it might throw at her.

 

[Soul.]

No like, I mean hours. Leaker says they'll show it ~24 hours but I'm still not sure lol
I guess we'll see

 

[PushDustIn]

I'm at least glad that the Pokemon leak will be over in >15 hours or so.

Btw, Relax Alax and Source Gaming have teamed up again! The video will be released around 12 Pm Est!

 

[Radical Bones]

My gosh I hope the Pokemon leak is true. ORAS didn't really do it for me tbh. There should be an option to chose to have the Post-Dex Pokemon available from the start.

I know they wanted to keep it like the original game but after playing XY it's hard to go back to only having 150 Pokemon. The selection of Pokemon in ORAS is pretty lackluster these days.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Welp new leaks. And one with a time limit.

Another question. There's another arcade to Console fighter coming out later as well. Dissidia Arcade. What's this boards top 10 characters that they want in?

For me.

1. Faris(FFV)
2. Vivi(FFIX)
3. Rydia (FFIV)
4. Basch(FFXII)
5. Celes(FFVI)
6. Seifer (FFVIII)
7. Aerith (FFVII)
8. Kimahri(Yeah I like him) (FFX)
9. Fang(FFXIII)
10. Shadowlord(FFXI)

Hey guys I'm ba-

Pokemon rumor? Well to be honest at this point I'm more willing to listen to one of those than another Smash one.


Just beat Earthbound Beginnings. Man, looking over the changes from the original release I feel very lucky for not having had to slug through the copy I bought while overseas, let alone getting the chance to play it officially in English.

I think the story and setting is definitely it's biggest selling point compared to other 8-Bit RPGs and even Earthbound to an extent. Once you get to Mt. Itoi (LMAO) it's nothing but feels. With Earthbound, it's kind of there, but I don't think it works as well, as the main characters I don't think are as interesting and the story isn't as coherent IMO (sorry ).

I like the openness of the overworld (as technically you can do many things out of order), and the music I thought was very memorable (I like that the game makes you memorize 8 Melodies during the Final Boss).

My only issue is the awful battle system. Beyond the grinding which really is only there to help you survive OP enemies (you pretty much run from every battle on Mt. Itoi except when Eve is with you), the status effects are really really stupid. There was several times in the game where I'd be hit with one that I can't heal except at the end of battle, if Ninten/Ana get hit you're pretty screwed assuming you can heal the effect to begin with.

Phantasy Star is still the best 8-Bit RPG IMO, but this is definitely a memorable experience that I would recommend getting a hold of. Also that IGN review was definitely BS.

I can't help but wonder if NOA had a prototype copy as I noticed that while the title screen changed, Giygas still has it's original name despite Earthbound being a thing.

 

[Chrono.]

Apparently Squeenix have a secret game they're gonna show at TGS.

I'm betting it's the FF12 remaster that's been rumored for years but eh we'll see.

 

[Frostwraith]

Besides my New 3DS, I also got Xenoblade 3D.

 

[Naoshi]

I can't help but wonder if NOA had a prototype copy as I noticed that while the title screen changed, Giygas still has it's original name despite Earthbound being a thing.

Actually, the title screen is the same as the original localization. From what I can tell after playing both the rom and VC release, both games are the exact same. It doesn't seem like they touched the EBB rom at all when they released it for the VC.

Also, you are correct about NoA still having a prototype copy (or several!). Earthbound Central confirmed it so.

http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/09/earthbound-zero-prototype-info/

Here's a neat little article about each prototype and their whereabouts in 2009.

 

[Frostwraith]

First impressions on Xenoblade:

1. Dunban is a badass
2. Interesting gameplay system
3. Amazing music
4. Dunban is a badass

Thanks Smash Bros. for spoiling me that Mumkhar = Metal Face. The voice is the same. lol

Konami is going to be there, so I hope they announce an update for MGSV with the cut content. Hopefully they don't make us pay for it..

 

[Chrono.]

Kinda weird how most of the problems Mother 1 had weren't fixed in 2, as well as having a slightly less interesting story and cast (in my onion).

Makes me wonder how well it would've been received had Mother 1 had an actual release overseas.

 

[Kenith]

Cute/sad that you have that much faith in them.

Oh yeah? Well in MY ONION.
Earthbound was kinda mediocre and I haven't played Mother 1 so I have no idea what it's like XD.

Mother 1 is kind of a nightmare gameplay-wise, like @ --- pointed out, play it for the story and cast.

Well, I actually do know it's a painful grind-fest, but...I have not actually played it.
However, Earthbound was just barely skirting on the brink of "I hate this game and wish it would die in a fire" for me (I can elaborate) so if Mother is an inferior/more BS version of that game...well, there might be issues.

Kenith plans to play Earthbound Beginnings! But, he is planning to play too much games already.

Well, someone had to do it.

yeah, tbh. i just can't get into earthbound just because of a ton of its gameplay issues
and mother 3 fixed a ton of those issues so it's like. my second-favorite game.
(also "earthbound superfans" are ridiculously annoying to me but that's neither here nor there)

 

[Neo Zero]

So there been any new info lately?

Feels like we've been wandering the Desert with no water for weeks.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I love EB and Beginnings. Can't say much for the story because I hardly ever care about it in games. I guess I prefer EB's story more since I always had an idea of what I was doing. Beginnings made me feel like I was just doing stuff because I hadn't been somewhere before.

Incidentally that's how I felt about Earthbound.

I don't. I said hopefully, which doesn't mean I expect them to do it.
If they did, they'll make us pay for it. But I wish they wouldn't.

 

[Chrono.]

So what type of game would you guys like to see Kojima do now?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Frankly I'd be surprised if they didn't cart out an effigy of Kojima and burn it on stage.

If that Pokemon leak is true when do you think they'd talk about it?

 

[Kenith]

Easy answer.

Why did this game have to die.

 

[Radical Bones]

Well Corocoro comes out on the 15th of each month but usually leaks on the 10th/11th so if anything is coming we'll know by then.

 

[Naoshi]

Easy answer.

Why did this game have to die.

I almost thought I was seeing a photo

 

[Kenith]

Yeah PT looks...er, looked great.
