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

[Substitution]

I still want to prank someone as well someday before I end my premium.

Just not sure yet when to strike..... And who my victim would be.....

As long as it's not that one guy by the name of MisterVideoGaming, I don't mind whoever you pick.

 

[Chrono.]

Imagine how much rage mail would we have from Smash if the Wii U had a proper messaging system.

 

[Curious Villager]

Try not to do single image posts, you might get into trouble. Just letting you know. ^^

As long as it's not that one guy by the name of MisterVideoGaming, I don't mind whoever you pick.

We'll see..... Don't you worry.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

I would be overjoyed if we got two stages and two charcters on the 30th to end of Pre-ballot DLC.
It would be so Hype.
I'm Thinking Wolf. But the other is up in the air.
And maybe a returning stage.

Spoiler: Possible PSMD spoilers

So here's PSMD's rendition of the Primal Dialga song.

I got chills. I would pay so much money if they brought Spear Pillar back with Dialga being swapped out for his Primal version.
And bringing in Shiny Celebi, Grovyle and Dusknoir.
Hell just give me a mystery dungeon stage.
With this music of course.
Mystery Dungeon > Main stream Titles.

About to start my wonderlocke.

Let's see how it goes.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Konami officially leaving the market is sad.



Am I the only one who thinks these patents mean the NX won't come out next year?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Konami officially leaving the market is sad.

RIP Snake and Bomberman's chances in Smash

 

[Senselessbreak]

So that three character Geno rumor is bullcrap......biggest reason...............You mean to tell me we are getting THREE third party characters as newcomers, and not one of them is first party? If you include Ryu, that means we got 4 third party characters who were all newcomers.

 

[Frostwraith]

I saw some people trash talking Nd Cube, but said company is actually formed by former Hudson Soft employees that worked on Mario Party games.

 

[Substitution]

RIP Snake and Bomberman's chances in Smash

To be honest I don't care about their chances in Smash; I just want to know if they still have a future in gaming.

 

[MainJPW]

Am I the only one who thinks these patents mean the NX won't come out next year?

I think it's possible it may show up in 2017, they might show the console and its prototype controller at E3 2016 and release it the next year similar to what they did with the Wiiu. Also remember that an early version of the Wiiu gamepad was shown at E3 2011, it had a different design than the final revision so anything that looks weird on the patent won't be the case for the final version.

 

[NintenZ]

RIP Snake and Bomberman's chances in Smash

Well actually, if ND Cube has ownership of the IPs, that would mean in turn that Nintendo would own Konami.

That's not really a substantial reason.
I think a bigger point against it is that one of the third parties is Geno.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Unless someone buys them from Konami, I doubt it.

I saw some people trash talking Nd Cube, but said company is actually formed by former Hudson Soft employees that worked on Mario Party games.

What? You're telling me that the people that ruined the series are the same who made it great?

I.......I have no words....

ND Cube does not.

 

[NintenZ]

ND Cube does not.

Not yet anyways.

 

[Chrono.]

I beat all of the NWC courses! So I unlocked the Luigi Mushroom.

Now if I could just put it to good use...

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Not yet anyways.

If anyone could manage to revive the Bomberman series and make it strong, it's gotta be Nintendo.

. . .

Make it happen, new President whom I forgot the name!

 

[Kenith]

You could do this but with Luigi instead:

 

[NintenZ]

You could do this but with Luigi instead:

I've heard stories about this one.

 

[LIQUID12A]

That's not really a substantial reason.
I think a bigger point against it is that one of the third parties is Geno.

"This leak has Geno of all characters? Gee, no way this leak is gonna be real!"

 

[Kenith]

"This leak has Geno of all characters? Gee, no way this leak is gonna be real!"

Yeah, pretty much.
I feel like Geno is a joke suggestion at this point. I don't why people keep bringing him up if he's so hated here.

 

[Solfiner]

So Konami is stopping all AAA production? Well, better than them making ****ty games in the future.

 

[NintenZ]

So Konami is stopping all AAA production? Well, better than them making ****ty games in the future.

Well at least they're not EA.

 

[Chrono.]

Stuff like PES can go to Take Two or even another western based company, smaller stuff like Gradius, Bloody Roar and Rocket Knight can easily be at ArcSys.

Although realistically, I still believe Namco-Bandai will take a crack at those Konami franchises. Including Metal Gear

Bloody Roar at ArcSys would be amazing.

Also, whatever happened to that Namco leak from awhile back that said they bought out Metal Gear?

 

[Soul.]

So... Konami is dead.
Well they were already dead the moment MGSV came out. iirc they treat their employees like **** too?

 

[Naoshi]

So... Konami is dead.

That they do


To be honest, I can't say I'm sadden by this news. Konami has already stopped AAA production outside of MGS since... I don't know. I don't think this is anything new at all.

The Konami we knew died 5 or so years ago.

 

[Das Koopa]

language warning

Spoiler

 

[NintenZ]

Oh Konami, where did you go wrong?

 

[Frostwraith]

Oh Konami, where did you go wrong?

Ever since they decided to abandon video games and alienate the fans of their franchises.

But hey, they have fitness clubs and pachinko machines with erotic violence.

Not sure what rumour you're referring to but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we only got 3rd Party newcomers and veterans as DLC. I see it as a real possibility.

But not a chance that Geno will be one of them.

 

[Strofirko]

Oh Konami, where did you go wrong?

When team silent was kill and edgy bomberman was a thing.

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

If I must say something about Geno as a character.

I don't hate him.

I don't even hate his inclusion in Smash.

Hell, if he did happen, I wouldn't care.

But when it just boils down to how much I could see him happen...He has a Ridley of a chance... But despite that, I'll respect anyone's wants and wishes and won't judge them otherwise. It's just in my nature to not spite others wants and call their characters out because of my own perspectives.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Why do you feel so?

 

[Champ Gold]

Not much. All it just said was Namco-Bandai was interested in Metal Gear and Metal Gear alone.

That they do


To be honest, I can't say I'm sadden by this news. Konami has already stopped AAA production outside of MGS since... I don't know. I don't think this is anything new at all.

The Konami we knew died 5 or so years ago.

They died when the HD collection of Silent Hill was absolutely disgusting and the last game I bought from them was Metal Gear Rising and that's more of a Platinum game than a Konami/Kojima game.

 

[Deleted member]

I guess it isn't criminal for me to say that the only Konami games I bought this year so far were the NES, SNES, and GBA Castlevania games on the Wii U eShop and Hard Corps: Uprising for my PS3.

Yeah, Konami is officially dead to me.

 

[TheAnvil]

Why do you feel so?

A few reasons.
- Negotiating licensing fees is probably easier when the character is sold individually.
- Sakurai views 3rd Party characters as an extra, he views DLC as the same. 3rd Party characters don't have a stigma to them like 1st party characters do. I'm yet to see complaints about how Ryu should have been on the disc, or that he was cut content. I've seen such theories and complaints about Lucas and Mewtwo in particular.
- Guest characters as DLC in fighting games is pretty much the norm now. And they apparently greatly outsell 1st party characters. Freddie in MK9, Scorpion in Injustice etc.
- All of the proper newcomers in Mario Kart's DLC were guest characters. Having Link in Mario Kart is almost exactly like having a Sonic or Pac-Man in Smash Bros.

 

[AncientTobacco]

Also some major news for any Konami fans
http://www.vg247.com/2015/09/18/konami-stops-all-aaa-console-production-except-for-pes-report/

Snake totally still has a chance guys!

 

[Deleted member]

I think people overreact the Konami situation
MGS has been their only selling title for a while, it was only a matter of time until they gave up completely
And they can do this, because Pachinko maked money as much as people are irritated by it

 

[Deleted member]

For the record, not making AAA games are just a game with a huge budget, right? Might be a good thing tbh.

 

[Frostwraith]

The moment I realized Konami had gone mad was when they announced they'd have a Castlevania pachinko with erotic violence.

There are no words that describe how dumbfounded I was when I read that news.
