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

Has this been covered yet?

[NintenZ]

It's really not, no. There's no credibility to this leak whatsoever.

Even if GameFAQs had some real ones back in the Brawl era, its track record for SSB4 is quite bad. That's where the Pipeburst leak originated.



At the same time, there's no reason to consider this leak at all. Why should anyone suspend their disbelief?

"It's from GameFAQs and not 4chan" has already proven flimsy. This leak has the same odor of a wish list as Tower of Smash.

"Guys, those characters you want are in consideration! Mii Costumes mean nothing! You don't like Shovel Knight? Well, he's not in and the rumors are wrong! Wolf's back, too! :D :D :D"

The... Pipeburst... Leak... *Laughter*

Has this been covered yet?

Nope, but imo it means nothing. Different stages take up different amounts of space (and it not like they never do actual maintenance). We literally have no idea why it takes so long. He may be right, but in the end it was just a guess.....and not that much of an educated one.

 

[OurBraveHero]

Reminder though. We had an hour of maintenance for literally nothing recently. Don't take that as a definite we're getting something else just because it's slightly longer than the time we got nothing.

Blaze It. It's crazy to think this has gotten 420 pages in less than a month.

Frostwraith Oh my god, have you seen the Pipeburst rumor? XD

We just have a lot to say in this thread.
Over and over again at that...

 

[Z25]

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.

Ok I did the math wrong, it is more like $7, which isn't to bad, I mean if you want them, then you will buy probably, is what it really comes down to with the amiibos.

Has this been covered yet?

It's interesting, and possible, but the theory looks grim as of now, since there is no announcement in site it seems.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Has this been covered yet?

I don't think it'll amount to much. In programming adding content doesn't have a linear progression with the time taken. It's the number of gremlins you need to worry about.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

no silly billies. amethyst is best character :>

You may have all of my Likes. Looking over the episode-title list, it sounds like we're getting some intense Amethyst episodes!

 

[AreJay25]

It's worth noting that's it's currently 6 AM over in Japan. If there's another announcement coming, it should be soon. If not, well.

H... how are you saying it's more like $7? I literally just told you the amount it would be. It's a $4 difference. 13x3 is $39. The bundle is $35. Like, I'm not trying to make this an argument but, come on man. haha

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

THIS part, to be specific:

And the reason we believe that part to be true is that Nintendo said it themselves that it's more of a suggestion box. haha

 

[Roaring Salsa]

It's the first time Nintendo will upload a "complex" stage, so maybe that's why the maintenance will take a while (or at least Nintendo thinks it'll take them that amount of time)

 

[OurBraveHero]

That's true. Honestly, it's a crazy amount of assets just for one stage.

 

[TheAnvil]

Remember guys, we haven't even had a reminder from Nintendo about the stage yet.

If we get a reminder in an official capacity, and nothing else is announced then we can really start thinking that we're due the stage only.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I can't imagine Mario Maker is really that complex. I suspect it's not as limitless as the trailer for it made it sound.

That'd be a development nightmare.

 

[Deleted member]

The bundle costed me $50 counting taxes
Man, **** Canada
I'm just joking, Canada is a beautiful country and I love it

 

[Soul.]

I'm not seeing anything complex about the SMM stage. Random layouts, hand fixing broken parts... that's normal.
Again, if all we get is that stage I can care less; everyone's going to get it anyway. Hopefully they do something once the Ballot ends.

Complex would be Jungle Hijinx or Pyrosphere
SMM is just a bunch of stages in one

That was the number I came up with, my mistake. math is far from my strongest skill xD. I still saved some me with my pro gamestop card though, which was nice. That's one plus to having gamestop in the states.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Well, whatever comes this Wednesday, I got $31.51 on my eShop account to buy the contents for both 3DS & Wii U Smash.

 

[OurBraveHero]

I can't imagine Mario Maker is really that complex. I suspect it's not as limitless as the trailer for it made it sound.

That'd be a development nightmare.

Well, it's complex in that it is somewhat random and has 4 different possible graphical outputs. Two 8-bit versions, 16-bit and 3D. Even just for the Omega version of the stage, it would need 4 different versions of the stage to flip through; one for each game. So take that, plus all the different random assets. It might not be limitless, but that's still more going on than any of the other stages we have in terms of extra assets.

omg are you joking?

 

[Naoshi]

omg are you joking?

Gaming along with Amiibos are more costly in Canada than in the US due to the CAD being high. IIRC, 60 dollar games are now 70, and Amiibos are now 16. 3DS games are 45

Correct me if I'm wrong on these prices

 

[Deleted member]

You knoe, I don't get from where all the GameStop hate comes from
In my country, it would be considered better than the best
[Input rant about gaming in Brazil here]

omg are you joking?

Which part?
About the price? Nope
About Canana? Yes

 

[Frostwraith]

Frostwraith Oh my god, have you seen the Pipeburst rumor? XD

Pipeburst rumor? What are you talking about?

I can't imagine Mario Maker is really that complex. I suspect it's not as limitless as the trailer for it made it sound.

That'd be a development nightmare.

In terms of textures and images, it's all ripped from the original games.

Programming-wise, I'd imagine it could use a similar algorithm as Tortimer Island, which also has a random layout. Of course, the Mario Maker stage ought to be way more complex.

It probably isn't 100% random because that theoretically could create literally unplayable stages, but it likely follows certain patterns, just arranged in many different ways every time the stage is loaded.

 

[Roaring Salsa]

The stage is still way more complex than any other DLC stage we've received so far, that's for sure... except maybe Miiverse

omg are you joking?

That's still less than what I had to pay

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Isnt Canada in a ressesion or am I pulling up something that isnt true?

That's still less than what I had to pay

Im afraid to ask what you have to pay for them tbh

It might not be limitless, but that's still more going on than any of the other stages we have in terms of extra assets.

If I remember correctly, I think someone said on Reddit that all they add into the server is the STAGE ID so both copies of Smash Wii U/3DS load the same stage and stay in sync. I'm not 100% sure on this, but it does seem like a pretty logical guess (even though I don't know how the servers work myself).

This should be worth a laugh.

[IceBreakerXY]

2 days left and i still dont think were getting another character.Another stage is more liekly and even that seems grim.I truely just expect the MM stage which by the way is awesome i hope there's a qay to pick a certain theme like the animal crossing track in mario kart 8

 

[KenboCalrissian]

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

If we just get the MM stage and there's still that goofy dead space on the stage select screen, it means more's coming, just not now.

I don't get why everybody believes the next DLC character has to ship on the 30th. It's not like the world ends in October.

 

[Bedoop]

So what's going on in this thread?

Kudos to Sakurai for drawing this for the Smash 64 website to keep the hidden goodies locked behind another screen just in case

Well, whatever comes this Wednesday, I got $31.51 on my eShop account to buy the contents for both 3DS & Wii U Smash.

Mind sharing some of that cash?

The price and I think most of the gamestop hate comes from the fact their certain gs did something wrong, that pissed them off and so GS is the devil

The ones I have gone to have been nothing but good and filled with friendly people

You know, I have to say I like this guy. Still waiting for a day when we get the sequel of Jim Sterling against this guy. Now that's a debate I want to see.

 

[Chrono.]

Though someone in that GAF thread noted that adding stages shouldn't cause server downtime no matter how complex.

Though tbh I don't think we're getting anything more.

So if this is real
and we get no Fantasy Zone segment of the stage
I AM GONNA BE PISSED
