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

CoroCoro won't cover Pokemon GO. It never covers those mobile games. If I had to guess, it will focus solely on the blob and Zygarde, maybe surprise us with a new game reveal but that's unlikely. Maybe a tease at another new pokemon?

And 'm so happy, after waiting 4 extra hours to take my Religion Course's midterm for college, I got a 90! Only two questions were wrong!

Congrats! And i'd love to see some new megas. Mega Mismagius that's Ghost/Fairy would be my DREAM.

Most of these aren't even retail that I'm looking at. Besides I'm looking at the used prices and they run at about $35 which is just $5 cheaper than games that are new. It ain't Kid Icarus Uprising bad where the game cost more than it did before.


Ehh. I don't buy digital games that have physical copies expect for fighters for easy transition and even then that's a rarity I do that. I always prefer physical copies. Especially considering I want to rebut Melee and there's no digital release of it ever.

I prefer physical as well, but I prefer being able to buy a game without breaking the bank even more, lol. I buy/support physical as often as possible so long as the price is right. It sucks when a game that's physical in one country is only digital in another (Yakuza 5), but thems the breaks. Both formats have pros and cons, though so it's not like physical is a holy grail I cant live without. To me, single purchase vs subscription is a much bigger issue then digital vs physical. At least we still have the physical option, and a strong one at that, while companies are trying to force their BS subscription models(i.e softly forced "upgrades") on everything and are starting to completely ignore single purchase options.

Luigi Mushroom, which gives Mario the appearance of a deformed Waluigi while having Luigi™ physics.

Did you copy paste that from the website?

 

[Chrono.]

So Mario Maker got an update (for those that have it) and the whole time unlocking things for 9 days got reduced to 15 minutes it seems.

What? No. If you're asking for the ™ symbol, that was just for comedic effect

 

[WeirdJoe27]

I thought Mario looked hilarious. I don't see why he's creepy.

Hilarity and creepy can actually be one and the same.

Wow, before it was even released.

I don't see why Pokémon GO will fail.
Are people utterly pessimistic over mobile games or something. I love my consoles/handhelds too, you know, but we're in this world where everyone is using smartphones and only smartphones.
I know most mobile games seem casual too but that's beside the point.

I don't think so, this may not be the best example, and I'm sorry to say this @Burruni, but a lot of people thought the same about Splatoon, and look at how great that was!

Ol' Man River made me think of Huckleberry Finn, which then made me remember Twain's Extracts from Adam's Diary, one of his works.

Looks like Sonic will be MIA at TGS.

Tough luck.

Quick question : is there any issue about creating an opinion-based topic in this forum ?

Like "How I would change the F-Zero formula" or "My top 15 missions in Star Fox" ?

Still no reply... ?

So the answer should be "No, there's no problem", I guess ?

I swear I've seen this all this before. You know, when they said they made a blunder and will try to do better.

It's fear more than anything, really
A bunch of things can go wrong, like the battle system not being like in the games, paywalls, requiring constant internet connection(*cough*Pokemon Shuffle Mobile*cough*), etc
I personally think it will be fine as long as they don't **** with the the battle system

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

As long as the next Sonic game that's made by SONIC TEAM doesn't end up like Boom, then it's going to be a better course of action. Granted I know the fans would want the next one better than Lost World, but it's better to stand up straight than to fall down and break your neck.

And right now, Sonic is in a wheelchair from Boom. Anymore and his back would snap.

I don't know, something about this apology seems different, like they're actually really serious about winning back the fans trust this time. I'll see how it goes.

It's not going to fail at all. People are wanting it to fail because "Nintendo Mobile? Noooo" but in reality, it is a free app with micro-transactions (which unfortunately is a huge money maker because people get addicted and don't want to wait a certain amount of time to keep playing) and people can get a watch that allows them to interact more, basically the "Pokétch". Pokemon Shuffle and Rumble World are successful free-to-play Pokemon games. What makes people think Pokemon Go won't be more successful than they are, just because it's on mobile?

You sure? Because to me I've heard this little song and dance numerous times. The "We made a goof, but do not worry we will strive to make everyone happy!" speech that has to be in some handbook somewhere on how to run a company. Look, all I'm saying is if there's anything I've learned from Sonic '06 (and Peter Molyneux), it's that sometimes words are exactly that, words.

Then it's a good thing we're getting another Sonic Boom game right? I mean sure it's the less crappy 3DS version, but even that didn't escape the realms of mediocrity.

This is probably what that Lexus game is about.

The TGS site for SEGA had two hidden games, one of them (Lexus) most likely being the title being worked on by the Yakuza studio, the other game is the Vanillaware/ATLUS team up that's been teased for a while.

That's not being made by Sonic Team though, Sonic Team have say they have they're own Sonic game planned, and it's in the same design style of Unleashed/Colors/Gen/Lost World. The only main reason the Boom game series is still going is because the 3DS version didn't fail as badly as the WiiU version did, and that the tv show is quite successful and many people like the show.

If Sonic Teams Sonic game is the one that goes down the drain, then that's the one you should really worry about since they are the ones who are in the most control of Sonic, they are the ones handling it since the 90s.

Possibly, If so, I wonder what the game is. Maybe it pays tribute to past sega's franchises?

 

[Chrono.]

A lot of people are in panic mode over Boom but mainly because there's still a lot who think that it's a full blown reboot.

Nah, it's a new IP, we don't know what it's about though.

But I absolutely agree with you on that, words or just words, but I have a feeling they've learned their lesson for the most part and I seriously think that they want to improve their quality this time. I'm waiting to see what they have in store and see if they can put all the feedback they've received to good use.

Heck, they seem to be taking their time already with there still being no word on a new main Sonic game, again, just wait and see.

Oh well, back to the roulette wheel everyone, nothing to see here.

>Really want to play Star Fox 64 3D
>See the prices

Why is it Nintendo games that are expensive? I mean for God sakes, I wanna buy Smash 64 and Mario Party 2 but they cost about $80 separately.

Low print. They didn't make a lot of the games, similar to Kid Icarus Uprising.

You can buy it digitally for the usual price, though.

About that...

It was right under our noses this whole time

 

[epicmartin7]

Apparently, a patch came out in Japan just recently (ver. 1.0.1) for Super Mario Maker and it did something completely awesome...

You no longer have to wait nine days to unlock everything!

Well, at least Nintendo fixed the biggest complaint about Super Mario Maker.

The 3DS version of Sonic Boom was better than the Wii U one, but it was still bad because "lol sonic boom."
Who knows what may happen to Fire and Ice. It could be good, it could be bad.

I honestly don't know. The franchise will still have a presence in consoles/handhelds; I see nothing to worry about. Like it's just a mobile game lol.

Did anybody say it would be a financial failure, though? I think the only thing people said was that it's unlikely a concept that cool is actually going to play out well. I mean pseudo-virtual reality Pokemon is something I think that a lot of people would love to see and that they've been asking for for some time, and even if it's executed really well I think a concept that big has a strong potential to disappoint due to getting overhyped.

Still no reply... ?

So the answer should be "No, there's no problem", I guess ?

No, there isn't a problem with a topic like that generally, but it depends on what specifically the topic is about. For instance, there's already a topic about F-Zero that's got people sharing ideas for how to mix up the formula, and it's better to post in that topic as opposed to starting your own. And whatever your topic is, it's good to open it up such that it offers the opportunity for others to share their opinions on the matter.

For future reference, you're more likely to get an answer on something like this by directly contacting a staff member, as they'll be the most likely to be able to give you an answer on what is/isn't okay and they're less likely to see it in an environment like this.

Yeah but my thing is that I don't like to pay more than $25 for digital games. But that's just me

Fair enough.
And maybe it's me being jaded over the franchise as a whole, but it does make me wonder how many times can you revive a dead hedgehog before people finally realize that it's not moving.
