I agree.
Now what would be interesting is a Metroid game that swaps between 2.5d and Prime style.
That would be very hard to get to work though.
Of course, my dream would be a static camera Metroid like old horror games, but...

BTW, guys, the deadline is the 23rd. It's the 20th.
that means

(this is my thing now)
I like how MM is always relevant for stuff like this.

I think I'll probably hold off for next month for any new smash related announcement's since we seem to get something at least once every two month's.... (if I recall correctly)

I wonder if they would be ready yet to at least showcase a new character then....

Still on team #HasNoPlaceToMakeADefinitiveCallEitherWay(AndTickedOffAboutIt).

Outside of a privileged few, none of us have seen anything that could be considered credible evidence. With that in mind, it seems foolish to confidently declare one way or the other the legitimacy of these rumors (they still don't qualify as leaks in my book).

I must recognize and admit that the only reason I held more faith in Shovel Knight being real is personal bias - not for the character, but for the source. It was brought to our attention by people I know and respect within the community (and that won't change if it turns out to be false - that goes for local supporters of either leak). Likewise, my primary reasons for doubting Inklings is because of the way the information was handled - or, should I say, blatantly preyed upon for the sake of adding to certain people's Twitter follower counts.

However, when I set aside those biases, I see very little difference outside of the character being leaked; Both are rumors that started on Twitter and came with zero evidence for the public to gauge our own opinions on. I'm speaking of course from the outside looking in - no doubt, the details behind them are probably very different.

No matter what happens though, I'll remain deeply disappointed in this chapter of leaks history. Protecting the source is one thing, but hiding the information just so it can be dangled over our heads and capitalized upon is nothing short of despicable and insulting. It doesn't feel good to be left out when discussing leaks is what we're all here to do, but more importantly we've all been put through an incredibly stressful and embarrassing situation, and it seems to have been done for primarily selfish reasons.

The stupidity and complexity are definitely equal. And @DarkAura64, let me correct you, it's more like trying to remember every detail throughout the entire day, from small things to bigger things.
They expected to make us cry by talking about ice cream. Nuff said.
I guess I can see the issue with that, but at the same time, it's not unusual that a Pokémon of a group was largely unpopular and/or rated lowly because of how poor it fared compared to others. Meganium for instance tends to rate lowly in general partially because it's the least impressive starter for a lot of fans even though its line's adorable, so it's not out of place for her to rate it lowly because of how it is in terms of the group. Having said that, I will agree that it's still not a strong critique and she could've assessed it better, which is a problem with her video in general.

As for the video you posted, I did agree with a lot of the critiques that your video pointed out. I do feel they got a bit nitpicky in some areas (which I can't completely blame them for, the video they're reviewing is nitpicky in general), but they do ultimately explain their points well and how both youtubers didn't do as good a job explaining why they weren't as fond of their five picks.

As for the current rumor, I'm just casually watching at this point. I don't see too much reason to believe it yet as the information is sparse on it and there's little to go off of so far, but it's still plausible and as mentioned before, at least we have a timeframe at the moment.
I like how you mentioned Meganium as the guy who had the Medicham avi defended Meganium against criticism from both Tamashii AND Brandon. Care to see the videos he did on them in a similar style to this?

Nah, I'm good. :p

Still, it's nice to hear that he defended Meganium.

I don't remember what TP said about Meganium against Tamashii, but Brandon's complaint about how it's the worst starter judging by gym leaders made TP point out that's false, including the fact that the Meganium line learns Reflect around the time you fight Whitney

Tama's main source for the SK rumor was right about Fallout 4's Pip Boy edition, Skylanders being a vehicle based game, the fact that Amazon would be selling Nintendo DLC codes, and the development of a Zombi U port to other consoles. That's reason to give the rumor time of day, but in the end, even accurate sources can make mistakes/get a hold of bad info.
Not sure if all of those have ever been determined to be from the same source.

The wait for a new character just became a lot more intense.
Is Tama right? Is Roger right? Is Stealth right? Is the TheAnvil right?
Am I right?
Is Sakurai is the only person we can trust?
...

...I'm going with that last option.

I'm on team #wishthiswasallover

I just want it to be Wolf and Isaac just so everyone can be wrong and we can just show that leaks sucks and that us Fans just need to wait and be patient. And pessimistic. And logical.

Because logic can be thrown out the window due to bias and anti-bias

I want to just say...

Nintendo just needs to put us out of our misery.

I don't care if they say NX is cancelled.

If they announce Wii U 2: Waluigi's Electric Bugaloo in it's place.

If they announce they've sold Splatoon to Disney.

If they announce Metroid Prime: Amiibo Festival.

If they say that the next DLC characters are Harriet the Poodle Stylist from Animal Crossing and Pink Gold Dark Palutena.

Just say something damn it.

Just exercise more patience. Play Smash or some other Nintendo game to pass the time.

About the 'who wore it better' I'd say that if it was Link's regular attire, Zelda wins. The green dress fits women better. This one is Link by default though
So, they should just change clothing permanently
Also, that's not a dress, it's a tunic
There is a very big difference

It's not a patience thing.

It's a fan thing.

It's hard to be their fan when they have a really unproven RPG series sequel and a sports spin-off as their winter games and the sports spin-off has no real info.

The problem is every single thing they have for the winter season is *cute*. And cute only. They need substance and I'm worried about them.

Because they keep not talking about substance in what is a really troubling transitional period in Nintendo's history.

Cute as in, cute visually, or that Nintendo's holiday lineup is some quaint game with little depth?

Outside of Xeno which I'm sure will have story depth, everything is cute, quaint spin-offs.

They have Yokai Watch, I suppose, but it's not really their own franchise, nor is it proven it'll hold merit with all ages like Pokemon will.

While to each his own, I see literally no reason why it wouldn't 'work well'. XD It's be a Prime game. Only with the general areas and bosses and plot of Super Metroid, changed into a 3D world. I can't see what is standing in the way of that working just as well as all the other Prime games.

But anyways. Link wore it better. He always does. And random, but Hyrule Warriors Link is the most gorgeous male character I have ever seen in a game. His official artworks are amazeballs.

Disney Infinity fan eh? I actually just ordered Venom a few minutes ago. He's one of the last 3 characters I'm missing from 2.0.

I'm going to get 3.0 on Black Friday probably.
