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

[TheAnvil]

Tell me about it...
Hopefully we get a new one at some point with a not awful roster.
The first one's roster was actually good (for the most part) but Transformed's roster was pure garbage. So many unneeded cuts.

For its size the first one was decent. But was sorely missing some important characters (Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Altered Beast are three of SEGA's most important IPs, how did none of them make it?).

Transformed cut nearly every unique IP that wasn't Sonic, Monkey Ball or Samba De Amigo, added Gilius, Vise, Joe and a bunch of clones and called it a day.

 

[Chrono.]

Didn't it cut like, Billy Hatcher though?
Le sigh.

Yeah, but he was a forbidden 7 situation as data for him is in the disc.

What makes even less sense is that he wasn't even DLC like Alex Kidd and Metal were.

 

[gameonion]

I bought Runbow yesterday...

Spoiler

The soundtrack is incredible.

 

[Kenith]

Actually, I'm more blinded by rage that they gave their original character a costume based on one of the most beloved Zelda characters in yet another attempt to make people like her. Lana really feels like a forced and unnecessary character. Every time I see her it almost feels like I can hear Koei Techmo screaming "We're apart of the legend of Zelda now guys! Please love us!"

I'm going to stop there before I go on a rant, but I will say this- I'd of rather actually had Skull Kid than any of Koei Techmo's Original characters.

Feed her.
FEED HER.

In all seriousness tho I really love Lana and as soon as I find a good pic I'm changing my avatar.

Yo how good is Hyrule Warriors. Is the gameplay repetitive most of the time?
I've seen footage of it but never got to play it; perhaps I'll get the 3DS version. I guess.

 

[Champ Gold]

I didn't mind Lana. I guess the whole Idol thing got to people.

Plus, she's nowhere bad as Marie where she's forcefully shoehorned bad and Lana is part of a non-canon spinoff so she's stuck in her own universe.

 

[PushDustIn]

I knew there was a reason we got along so well.

I may...or may not also mimic her moves whenever I play her.

(it doesn't hurt that she can pull off the Max Rupee glitch easily)

Kinda repetitive (by nature of being a hack-and-slash), but you can easily make it not so.
Also, if the 3DS version is good, I would get that version anyway if at all.
Has all the content of the Wii U + more and the game is better suited for handheld anyway, imo.

Oh god yes.

God knows I tried to like Marie, but she comes off as forced too much, her annoying personality doesn't help a lot. Though I can say this about pretty much any post-P4 character, so far only Labrys turned out alright.

 

[Poots]

Lana isn't inherently bad, my problems with her generally stem from the game itself. I just don't understand why she would be given a move-set that seems like it was intended for Saria, or why she, as well as other characters, would be given multiple weapons instead of just putting in more characters.
In my opinion Lana just Symbolizes Koei Techmo and their odd decision making. Who's fault is it that "_" isn't in the game? Koei Techmo. What Koei Techmo character is practically the face of this game? Lana.

It's kind of Ironic because I love Cia. And just for the record, the only absolutely worthless addition to the game IMO is Wizzro.

Basically you do a range move + finish the monster at the same time...with Rupee+ on your weapon, it causes an overflow error and gives you 9,999,999 rupees. It's really cool but it only allows you to level up the character around 10-20 levels at the higher levels. I figured I needed to do it 40 more times to get all my characters up to 200, and I lost interest. You can't do it with 100% accuracy (there's a bit of luck involved). I have most of my characters around 100 because of that. Got 80% or so of the first map finished, just missing a few weapons.

Wow.
I will try that.
I won't make much use of it if it trivializes the game though.

For me, post completing all of the story and collecting (most of the Skullata) the game turned into mindless grinding. Fun for awhile, but it's really boring. Don't get me wrong...I've spent over 100 hours playing Hyrule Warriors. But it started feeling like a chore.

 

[NintenZ]

As for Spongebob, I've talked about this a loooooooooooooong time ago. The show isn't popular at all. Spongebob is seen as just another cute character. They call him "Bob" here.

Shrek? No one really knows Shrek here. I think his movies were translated it but I've never heard or seen any mentions from any of my students. He's probably too ugly to be popular. If he was cuter...

Yeah, I can definitely see that cuteness is a very big thing in Japan, I mean just look at this,

 

[Ivander]

I like Lana...

Spoiler

please don't kill me

IMO, she's a very fun character and really brings some charm to the "universes colliding" concept. Without her, the story would feel really serious, and it wouldn't be as, well..."fun".

I like her too. I enjoy non-serious characters compared to serious characters. Also, dragon surfing FTW. But I can see why people aren't exactly a fan of her Skull Kid outfit.
Still, I liked the original characters. Though I think Wizzro and Volga spoiled me in terms of characters representing an enemy or boss. Now I want to see more characters based on bosses or enemies, like an Iron Knuckle and Blind. Also, I'm still unhappy that they teased us with characters wielding other character's weapons and not giving us the option to. Here's hoping it's a feature in Legends that can be moved over like the characters.

Spoiler

And I think they missed an opportunity with Sheik. Rather than make her Zelda disguised just for reference sake, they could've had Zelda captured and have darkness attempt to possess her like what it did with Cia and Sheik could've been a part of Zelda that escaped corruption, like Lana, and is trying to aid the party in getting to Zelda before she gets fully corrupted, like what happened with Cia. That could've been a cooler plot twist while not only keeping the reference that Sheik is Zelda, but also adding in the reference of Ganondorf possessing Zelda in Twilight Princess.

I have wanted for a long time to see Sheik show up...in the same place as Zelda.
Though I imagined it as more of an "after the story" thing.
Like say Sheik shows up and helps you the whole game, then Zelda is saves, and in the final cutscene with Link and Zelda, Sheik is watching from the distance or something.

i mean really that'd just open the gates for those stupid SHEEK'S A BOY theories
it wouldn't mean that but it'd have a hole open

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Lana? I liked her as soon as she sang the Zelda theme in a trailer

I was actually hoping Sheik was Ocarina of Time Zelda, and she would've been like, you done ****ed up to HW Link & Zelda.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I think I want Skullgirls. DammitNinty let us have Skullgirls on the WiiU.


Also, Lana headcanon!

Spoiler

Lana loves Link but at the end of HW Zelda and Link hook up, Lana actually looks saddened, this jealousy and such gives Lana the dark power turning her into Cia. It's an endless cycle

 

[Strofirko]

I consider Lana as the self insert fanfiction creator.

You mean like the decision they made to completely change how Impa actually fights as an example? As well as giving her a weapon that would've gone so well with Nabooru as well?

 

[Solfiner]

What made me the most sore was Tingle being added over Skull Kid after THIS:

Goddammit. I wanted him since day one.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

In terms of Lana I think she's a pretty decent character.
But right now I'm hyped over the best Link getting into Hyrule Warriors along side his other self's.

And come on. Where's that Wind Waker Remix at.
Been waiting for that since E3.

That Wind Waker Remix makes me hope the game comes out soon. Also, do we have anything for Spirit Tracks? I forget

I like Lana tbh
She was one of my favorite characters to play in HW alongside Impa
Also, I really hope they would add some of the DS characters
I mean

Spoiler

We still don't have the best Zelda character

I remember him getting you in trouble in ST. Fun fact! I bought Spirit Tracks for 20 euros, Phantom Hourglass was in the exact same store. 40 euros. What the actual ****

If we get anything from Spirit tracks I will have nostalgia overload.
I can just see it now. Alfonzo using the spirit train to complete wreck hordes of enemies.
Or hell even Spirit Zelda would be cool if done Right.
Also I can't wait to see if Toon Link get's a design alteration.
if he has a scarf I will be so hyped.

Spoiler

I never finished it because I can't play the desert song right :'^)

I really want Spirit tracks content, it's easily my favourite Zelda game. Though Wind Waker HD might beat it

Direct incoming?

I feel like the new HW info could be another case of Direct info being published in Famitsu immediately following the announcement.
