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

He already has made the best fighting game in the world.

He achieved that with Mario vs Sonic vs Pac-Man vs Mega Man.

To top that? He threw in Mr. Fighting Game himself.

No matter who he adds. He already achieved his goal in my eyes.

This past hour saw so much activity here; now only 11 users on. Color me confused.

sleep? what is that
It sounds gross.

Just downloaded Medabots RPG off the Wii U eShop. I used to own the Rokusho version but I decided to go with Metabee this time.

Thanks for reminding me how much I miss this series Nintendo. Can you (or Natsume) maybe try to get the Japanese games localized too? Pretty please.....?

Asking Nintendo to localize games is fruitless...especially old games.

 

[Moydow]

I agree with Swamp. Spirit Tracks was an excellent game and is massively underrated in my opinion. Fixed most of the issues I had with Phantom Hourglass, especially the dumb central tower dungeon. Always enjoyed it more than the other handheld Zeldas.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Medievil looks kinda cool now that I see it, I remember having the opportunity to play it but I had to go somewhere and I lost said opportunity

Well there is that 3DS game which didn't come out that long ago...

In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if Natsume got this game released for Virtual Console in order to check if there is still western interest in the series, or perhaps even develop a new game that would come out world wide again. I think they actually even stated as such in an interview if I recall correctly.....

 

[powerprotoman]

i got to watch a streamer/lper play through all 8 of my mario makers in order of creation
i know know the satisfaction gamegrumps ross feels because of my hardest level (the 7th one i made)
and i quote "power protoman i hate you....i dont hate you but god **** it"
which was later followed by "i tried to stop when i saw the fire bar but by then i knew how it would end"

all of this with them ending off my 8th level saying nothing but compliments about all my levels was a good saturday night


so any actual news or......

 

[Captain Fun]

I'm really surprised they didn't do a "Last chance to vote!" with the last DLC. Seems like easy PR.

I mean if characters really are chosen there would be no need. Like if they said "go vote" and people voted for character X, if character X is revealed in a month, people will know their vote was pointless.

 

[N3ON]

I do not like DS Zelda games.

I do not like them Swampasaur.

I do not like them, rest of Smashboards.

I do not like them on a boat.

I do not like them on a train.

I do not like DS Zelda games.

I do not like them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere.

Also, I'm drunk.

 

[FalKoopa]

Favourite Zelda game is Majora's Mask.

Partly because of the huge number of side quests.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Also, I'm drunk.

That's why you don't like them then
In all seriousness, Link's Awakening and Spirit Tracks are my favourite

 

[Curious Villager]

I liked both Spirit Tacks and Link's Awakening.....

Phantom Hourglass eh...... heh....

 

[Kenith]

Favourite Zelda game is Majora's Mask.

Partly because of the huge number of side quests.

That's exactly what I don't like about Majora's Mask. :/
Skyward Sword has the same issue (not enough dungeon) though at least in Majora's Mask a lot of sidequest is skippable.
...If you don't want the Fierce Deity Mask. And only a fool doesn't want that.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Swamp thinking the Oracle games are a good baseline in which to judge Link's Awakening legit makes me sad.

Didn't the Oracle games **** up with invincibility frames?

All those Roy and Ryu votes were already wasted They started in development before the ballot.

 

[Radical Bones]

I hope we get four characters - King K. Rool, Wolf, Shovel Knight, and either Inkling or Isaac.
Isaac is probably the better choice seeing as this is probably it for him, while Inklings will never die.
EDIT: Correction, I'm expecting 4 characters, I'm hoping these specific choices though.

Congrats of rolling quints. If this was 4chan you would be a living legend.

 

[Deleted member]

Plot twist : the ballot's deadline has been delayed until April 2016.

Or Nintendo simply forgot it...

I would actually love this.
More time to stuff it with Excitebike votes.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ballot is still open even though it's past October 3rd in 99% of the world. It's a bit strange.

Guys

What if the Smash Ballot was just an April Fools Joke?
Sakurai never received any info about it. The Ballot will be open forever. It was just a hoax.

 

[Radical Bones]

Eh it's like 9.20 pm in Japan right now. They'll probably do it tomorrow as it's a Monday.

That's what I thought, too. I believe this could be a possibility, as the direct hadn't any april fools in it.

It's not an elaborate prank.

 

[Schnee117]

lol at the "The Ballot is an April Fool's Joke!" suggestion.

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

lol at "The Ballot".

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

It being the weekend most likely explains why nothing happened to the ballot. I wonder why people thought something would show up on the weekends when that never really happened before.

 

[Frostwraith]

Seriously? Why would the ballot be an April Fools prank all of a sudden? >_>

I agree that it's probably due to being a weekend the ballot is still there. The website management is likely to only update the site tomorrow.

Though I can't help but wonder if Iwata's passing may have affected anything. Well, probably not, but he was the one who had the idea in the first place... What could have been...

 

[Oasis Dealer]

So has the whole world passed October 3rd? If so, then yeah, they're probably taking it down soon. Maybe it will still be up but you can't put votes in (Any vote after the date is pointless)....for some reason.

 

[SkywardStriker16]

Guys
I might be hallucinating, but look at the ballot page--

https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/en-au/ (I would have added a picture but I'm on mobile)
They added a spot for nickname and age.
And the deadline is now the European style??
What is happening…
EDIT: nvm it's the European version just in general

 

[Thelimomon]

Of all the video game companies Nintendo probably has the most humor but I can't see them making an April Fools prank, especially if it's something big like, well, a ballot for Smash.

The biggest kind of a "prank" I could see them do is something like the "Zero Suit Samus won't be in Smash 4" that Sakurai did.
Something that gets cleared directly after, but not something that goes half a year for something they know everyone wants.

This is the Australian page. The American is still the same.
I assume the Australian one was always like this.

 

[Frostwraith]

The Australian page is like the Japanese and European pages.

Only the American page omits certain fields for some whatever reason.

Looks like V has come to Nintenzilla.

*smokes Phantom Cigar*

 

[LIQUID12A]

So the ballot has yet to close.

Being the weekend is the more likely reason. I doubt they would simply leave it open after the intended deadline.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

VVVVV confirmed as DLC indie. Rip in pasta Butt Butt

When it isn't cute fanart, it's usually this.
But let's change subject to something better!
View attachment 76378
Pikmin 3 has Bonus Ducks!

Ducks you say

Duck for smash.

hard counter.

In a few days, I'll loose my year long premium membership and become a normal user again.

Such is life.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Better cancel my premium too now. Guess we'll both become regulars soon.

My gifted one is nearing it's end too. And while I remember @DMurr Thanks for gifting it
It's been a wild ride

Isaac is probably the better choice seeing as this is probably it for him, while Inklings will never die.
EDIT: Correction, I'm expecting 4 characters, I'm hoping these specific choices though.

To be honest these 5 would be pretty decent line-up IMO.

I do not like them on a train.

Also, I'm drunk.

You don't know what your missing. Now excuse me while I ride that Train to the end of time.
