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

[Chrono.]

In other news, Konami claims MGS can continue without Kojima:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/09/28/konami-metal-gear-series-can-continue-without-kojima

Portable Ops. That is all.

 

[Frostwraith]

Metal Gear without Kojima is like Smash without Sakurai or Xeno without Takahashi. They're the kind of people that have a certain signature style in their works.

That said, there are plenty of game series that have done fairly well without their original creators. Kirby is one such example.

Of course, others went downhill once their creators left, as is the case of Castlevania or Devil May Cry.

I'm reserving judgment on this, but what do you guys think?

tl;dr version:
-Tamaki's source was misinformed; Shovel Knight is getting Swordfighter costume.
-A Star Fox Zero stage was planned to be released with Super Mario Maker alongside Wolf. Talks about delaying release until SFZ gets a new release date.
-Ballot is a "Suggestion Box", not a "Voting Booth".
-K. Rool, Inklings and Shovel Knight are being considered; the costumes are just acknowledgements of their popularity.
-Zant may be DLC despite low demand due to lack of Zelda newcomers.
-Rayman is in talks, but is unlikely due to Nintendo's and Ubisoft's shaky relationship.
-Isaac is the front runner.
-Ballot character will get a stage to go with them.
-Balance patch coming; may be held off due to possible Wolf delay.

Eh... this is a text leak, so I don't really buy it that much. Although I will commend the person for putting a little bit of time and thought into it.

Although, I'll still keep an eye on it and see if anything from this happens. Sometimes, its good to keep an open mind at the right times.

Oh don't worry Frost! I'm sure it'll do good as a pachinko machine! Look at how well it worked for Silent Hill and Castlevania.

There's only one part of that leak that I believe is true.

THIS part, to be specific:

-Ballot is a "Suggestion Box", not a "Voting Booth".

 

[Retroend]

What did he take?

oh boy. are you ready?

he took my 40in samsung hdtv (which i bought back from the pawn shop.)
my xbox 360 console
all 26 of my xbox 360 games
my 3ds xl
my new 3ds xl
almost all my 3ds games
my ipad
my ipod

i'm sure that all that stuff together would ring up over a $1000 worth. you have no idea how pissed i was when i found out. i'm glad he has been arrested. but i cant relax yet. apparently he got arrested in texas and i live in florida. didn't think he would leave the state. and i'm not even sure if he still has the rest of my stuff or if he sold them off. only time will tell.

Nope, but it would get a decent consolation prize by becoming my snack

I'm really happy to hear you got the justice you deserve. May all your merchandise be restored as well, and hope this kind of event doesn't happen to you again pal.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ah, yes. Featuring erotic violence for bonus points. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Konami's franchises are doomed to be fodder for pachinko machines or mobile games, going by the decisions they've been making. They want to abandon higher-budget games.

Konami may not go bankrupt or anything, but they will slowly fade away from the more traditional gaming industry. The Konami that was famous outside of Japan and that did countless classic games is effectively dead at this point. Kojima's departure pretty much cements this, but other creators of their IPs are long gone such as Koji Igarashi (creator of Castlevania).

thank you! i'll be more careful in the future. even if i dont get my stuff back, at least he won't be stealing from anyone again for a long while.

What? Not even a Mii Costume?
Sakurai is biased agaisnt sandwiches

 

[Swamp Sensei]

It's funny that you guys think this satire is deep.

Nope, instead he listened to the Japanese and had curry become a full fledged fighter. CATER TO US DAMMIT

Seeing the stuff he stole and the fact that your TV was already in a pawnshop, I sadly want to say the rest of that stuff is long gone

Shame on him for stealing all of that on the first place though

Curry has a different variation in like every Asian country

I still find it amazing that a title like Castlevania: Erotic Violence exists. Had it been in a leak, people would have thought it was some elaborate prank by a 10-year old troll who got too drunk or something.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It's a joke because Japanese say curry instead of sandwich in **** like 'now go to the kitchen and make me a sandwich'. Pretty funny when Xenoblade changed something from curry to sandwich to avoid misogyny.

Holy **** even Sammyclassicsonicfan's on Encyclopedia Dramatica

IS BIASED AGAINST SANDVICH?!?
I keel him with boolit.

 

[Fenriraga]

I'd be more interested and concerned about a 10 year old drinking.

 

[egaddmario]

Still nothing from Nintendo, huh? What if all we get on the 30th really is the Mario Maker stage?

yea, i don't have much hope that he still has my stuff. in any case, i will press charges on him big time. and if he has a brain at all, he will think about not stealing again. either way, there have been other good things happening to me lately, and this is just icing on the cake. i will rebuild from this, no point of moping about it anymore.

oh and my retro 3 pack amiibos came in the mail today! yay! ^_^

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

That bundle costs so much money that it makes my heart hurt

And my gamestop still had 16 of them in the store too

 

[Retroend]

i know, but i am determined to collect them all. my wallet on the other hand has plenty of tears to cry out.

He can join the other wallets in their mourning.
The three pack is worth buying though. They are really detailed and nice. I'm glad stock is being kept on them though. Ganondorf apparently wasn't as stocked though. My gamestop told my parents that the one I got for my Bday the other day was the only one the store got. II wonder why there was such a differences when they both released the same day.

It's less than buying three normal amiibos.

You get it at a discount.

How is it too much?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Personaly, I find 34.99 to be a bit to much for small figurines. But thats really my own personal opinion

 

[Z25]

Exactly, you save nearly $15, which is worth it imo. Which actually makes me think of something.
Anyone think we could get a DLC amiibo Bundle? Maybe with the vets or the June Update characters down the line?

 

[OurBraveHero]

Still nothing from Nintendo, huh? What if all we get on the 30th really is the Mario Maker stage?

What if all we get is what they're telling us we're going to get? Oh no, it's a nightmare.

Honestly though, it's not like it would be that long of a wait til we got more content. The ballot ends 3 days later and we'd most likely know the results sometime in October on who got picked at least, if not a character they've been working on already in celebration of the ballot ending or something.

I had a thought yesterday though. Wouldn't it be cool if the Mario Maker stage came with... the Mario Maker costume for Mario? (like the builder Mario outfit) and that was their way of confirming they are working on Alternate Costumes as well as the DLC characters?

How is it saving $15? It's like saving 4 dollars. Amiibos are $13 each and you're getting 3 for $35.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Has this been covered yet?

 

[Substitution]

Personaly, I find 34.99 to be a bit to much for small figurines. But thats really my own personal opinion

I can see why, since three Amiibos would be $35 together. But yeah imo there are better things to spend the money on.
