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

[Fenriraga]

So...

I was thinking of selling some N64 games for cash.

These would be games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Donkey Kong 64. Essentially, games I can't get only on the N64.

Should I go through with it?

I'd buy that Ocarina cart off you since for some dumb reason I don't own it yet =P the woes of getting into the collection game so late I suppose.

How much?

 

[Fenriraga]

How much?

Well first, which edition of OoT do you own? Gold, Grey, not for resale, etc?

Because that changes the price range a bit for each one. Yer a pal so I may be willing to go a wee bit over the average.

 

[jahkzheng]

I'm calling it right now: The new Sith antagonist is actually Luke.

I do hope my theory is wrong and this movie surprises me.

I'm calling it now...

The movie will go in an Disney animated classic direction and there will be 5 different musical songs including an opening song, a battle song, and a villain's song. The most stirring piece though, has to be Chewbacca's song of lament. It will stay with you forever~

We have that already though.
It's called the Star Wars Christmas Special.

[Zynux]

In a tweet that was retweeted over seven thousand times, net user Poting asked, “When did the Fatal Frame series turn into this?”

Fatal Frame 2 had a bondage/dominatrix outfit and the director's cut on the Xbox had a bikini set (and it's remake on the Wii, which were removed for Western regions similar to the newest game). Other games have gothic lolita sets, Fatal Frame 3 had a maid outfit and tons of accessories like cat ears and such. Fatal Frame 4 had a Zero Suit Samus and a Luigi costume, along with a "punk" outfit with fishnet leggings. Most Fatal Frame outfits are fairly "normal" (like yukatas) but they never shyed away from the occasion lewd or fetish one, so it's not a new thing for the series at all.

Optional outfits are always unlocked after beating the game (sometimes multiple times) on a certain difficulty so no matter which outfit you had, you never saw it on the first playthrough. The optional outfits are naturally immersion breaking since they seem to be more of a reward for game completion then anything else, which is why they aren't available on first playthrough.

The leak has until the 23rd, but I'm just not really feelin' it.

The longer this goes on, the more I feel that these rumors hold little merit.

From how I've seen other leaks I've always been a believer that a persistent rumor often may have some grounds of reality, which is the only reason I haven't completely written off many of these rumors floating around, but I can't help the feeling that for now we are just going to be disappointed. This is just a gut feeling, but if Inkling appears then I will likely lean on the belief that Shovel Knight is not coming.


Though as usual, I am interested in post-maintenance possible datamining to see if there will finally be some closure or more secrets.

 

[jahkzheng]

To be fair, who'd want to be involved with that crap?

Sorry, should of spoilered that implication~

I'm sure the biggest Star Wars fans would agree to a part in any Star Wars anything. Who said anything about actors?

...

Oh, and if it's not obvious, I'm just being silly you know. It's fun imagining if the new Star Wars was so absurd and cheesy.

 

[OurBraveHero]

So yeah, out of curiosity... has anyone actually even heard anything leak related today?
I'm kinda glad that I haven't seen any of those "in the know" teasing about it or anything actually, but I am curious if anyone else has seen it mentioned anywhere or whatever.

I'm kinda guessing now that it's actually the final stretch of this leak, everyone's just kinda letting whatever happens happen at this point.

I think that's pretty much the case, buddy. I haven't seen any of those in the know teasing either, which is nice of them. Frankly, I put most stock into Tama's but... Really, it's all we can do but wait. They have to as well just to be vindicated.

Standard gray.

Thing is...

No seems to be winning.

I mean three games would equal to about 35 bucks...

Which admittedly isn't a lot.

 

[Champ Gold]

You know, for advertising sake.

Do you think they'll show a Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer with Sora in the Star Wars universe sometime this year?

It's gotta be soon considering you can use Frozen anytime and Marvel is set up perfectly for E3

Yes, it's been known/announced.

The update will go live around the same time regular weapon/map updates would go live.

Hey, Jefferson Starship is pretty sweet.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

You know I'm kind of surprised.

I looked at the majority of the sessions showing Star Wars Episode 7 at my local cinema and almost all of sessions barely have people pre-booking seats.

 

[Shroob]

Unpopular opinion incoming, but...

I'm not excited for Episode 7, and this is coming from a guy who had nearly every alien in the Mos Eisley Cantina as a figurine growing up. I did not like the prequels and this new movie is making me tear my hair out over how they basically said "EH, **** IT!" to the Expanded Universe.

If you weren't aware, Chewie isn't supposed to be alive anymore in canon, and they erased Mara Jade from existence.

Also the one thing I hate about Episode 7, which I do NOT get....

Spoiler

WHY THE HELL IS LUKE THE VILLAIN?!

You think the concept of "Darth Jar Jar" is anything new?

Seriously though, if Star Wars pulls the "There must always be a lich king" kinda crap when it comes to the Sith, gonna be salty as hell.

Considering EVERYTHING Luke went through in Episodes 4-6, WHY would he just randomly turn to the dark side? He has seen what it does first hand.

You can see Kylo with his mask off. He's got long black hair. It's Adam Driver.

You don't hire Mark 'The Joker' Hammil to play a villain and then dub him over with some random kid's voice.

All signs point to this being Luke:

I actually kind of agree. I was looking forward to a possible revival of Star Wars using the Thrawn Series since way back, not some other random thing that throws away that decent story. Although, the time that's apparently gone by between Return of the Jedi and Force Awakens still leaves the possibility that the Thrawn Series could still be canon between the events of these two movies.

I'd love to see the Thrawn Series made into film though somehow. I still have fond memories of that story even though I haven't read the books in over a decade. I was just remembering the part of the book where Luke has to deal with those witches and literally "walks on the sky" or whatever.... hey, it's been a while. I think he rides a Rancor too. Yeah, they were good books. To be honest though, it's my kid self's memories judging this.

Spoiler: Star Wars Stuff

Luke is clearly in but I'm a tad perplexed on why they haven't highlighted on him yet.

My guess is that he's this film's Yoda. Our heroes will need to seek him out for wisdom and/or teaching.

Interesting note:
Nintendo added Octoling music to their Splatoon playlist a little while ago it would seem.

Nikki said she was going to go back up on Tuesday.

My gosh, I think she might have gotten a cease and desist from Nintendo thus making her pretend.

She's been back up all day today actually, but she's been behaving herself.
When she first came back she said something about "the boogieman got me for a while", so she might actually have gotten called out on something. I wonder if it was actually Nintendo or not.

Nah, that's just Dark Luke. An evil edgier clone of Luke that's been made to cause trouble and dirty Luke's good name whilst giving rise to the Sith again. Most original story ever.

I think I read that story once in the old canon.

 

[Frostwraith]

Star Wars? I remember watching the 6 movies when I was younger. My father introduced me to the series.

I'm curious about how the new movie will turn out.

Shame it likely won't have my favorite character, Emperor Palpatine. He's one of my favorite villains in fiction.

Anyway, I think the movie should have a new villain. Having Luke become a Sith would be kind of meaningless and pretty much a repeat of Anakin's story... Not to mention it could run the risk of being something clichéd.

I didn't know that Frostwraith can actually speak Spanish.

Apuesto a que el habla español mejor que la mayoria de mi pais.

Yep, I can speak Spanish. Not very fluent, but I can understand it well.

Portuguese does tie into Spanish slightly.

Just slightly.

Tu país claramente apesta para que digas eso señor

They share a significant amount of similarities. That's why I managed to learn it on my own.

Of course, they're by no means the same language, but you can learn one more easily if you already know the other.

Though I must say that Portuguese isn't a particularly easy language to learn...

The boogieman? Sounds spoopy and fitting for this time of the year.

No, you only think you've read this story before. This version is much better and more original~

Seeing those "bands" reminds me of a part why I love Nintendo.
Someone at Nintendo thought of them and took the time to illustrate them.
But they aren't more than explanations for the background music, which never needed an explanation in any game ever before.
And they probably will never appear in the game in any other way.

The attention to detail, in many many forms, is admirable.

It also reminds me of Pikmin 2 with the letters from Olimar's family and Louie's grandmother.
And Louie's "notes" in Pikmin 2 are just pure gold.

What is this talk about a update? The Splatoon update? Octolings?

I am not keeping up with all this at all.

It's just an update that changes some balancing and other little things. No Octolings so far.
Here's the official list of what changed: https://cdn03.nintendo-europe.com/m...iu_splatoon_1/WiiU_Splatoon_Patch220_deDE.pdf
