Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[N3ON]

Well I have Shulk? I doubt I would enough for any of them.I dont think anyone cares for smash amiibos anymore

I picked up a used Shulk amiibo for $4 at Gamestop. Take that for whatever it's worth.

 

[SuperMii3D]

I think In Japan he is. US hes a girl. Id have to look again. Yeah, Male Japan, Female in other places

This is Birdo 2.0.....

Where do you live?!?!?!

 

[Kurri ★]

what

I don't get this. Game footage on the video doesn't mean you will have actual performance issues in portable mode.

That was added post-production.

What? What video? The reveal? I'm not talking about the reveal.

 

[Erureido]

I don't have much to say about the new Generations episodes.

I was surprised that for an episode that revolved around the events of the Delta Episode, Zinnia didn't appear (would've been nice because it'd be nice to receive some more information about Aster). Instead, we got Gabby and Ty. Didn't expect that, but it was nice that they got spotlight. The fight between Deoxys and Rayquaza was pretty cool.

The Old Chateau wasn't a favorite of mine, maybe because it didn't "wow" me that much. I will admit it had some pretty clever scenes, particularly the dinner one. We don't see the food Cherryl and Chansey are eating at all, and that's a nice touch to demonstrate how haunted the place was. The final scene with the ghost girl reminded me of one of those Urban Legend/Creepypasta stories. Really wish we got to see Rotom though; would've been the perfect episode for it to appear because the Old Chateau is where you find it. I also though Chansey sounded really annoying here.

But now that we're in the Sinnoh portion of Generations, I can now say that I'm really looking forward to the Cyrus one.

then I don't understand the whole "it's weaker when portable" thing

meh. we'll see everything about the system in January

except this one was actually GIVEN a gender where miyamoto just said "**** it Im not focusing on that" and didnt give the other one one

 

[N3ON]

Picked it up in Seattle. Also got Captain Falcon and Olimar for $4 as well. Was very pleased. :D

really, all I wanted was Villager. But he is gone so.

I would think most likely is that the dock has cooling fans, which would technically allow the processor to work harder without overheating. If it's in portable mode, the processor wouldn't be able to work as hard without burning people's hands off, so its max clock speeds would likely be throttled to prevent it building up so much heat (would also be why the tablet screen is 720p and not 1080p).

 

[Arcanir]

...Where have you been?

I've seen nothing but praise for the game since day one. In both the Zelda and Dynasty Warriors fandoms.

I hung out at a lot of sites at the time and the game was more hovering around the middle then highly praised. No one hated the game, but it didn't get that "OMG, this is awesome, I can't wait to buy it!" reaction like that of Pokken or BotW until E3 where the prospect of different fan-favorite characters aside from Link became a clear reality.

 

[N3ON]

Yeah I haven't seen Villager since Wave 1 was released.

To be fair I rarely seek out amiibo. Marth was the only one I bought at full price. Cloud will be the second.

 

[Kurri ★]

The tablet only does 720p, meaning it's weaker when undocked or portable. Meaning that's another thing developers have to be mindful of when developing games for Switch

 

[Chrono.]

I got my own concerns about the Switch, but for now I'll just enjoy the ride.

No use in worrying when all we got is a teaser (and credible rumors).

98% left until Xenoverse 2 time.

If I got one from Amazon, It would probably be the fivehead reprint one and I dont want that so it isnt worth it

 

[Opossum]

Villager got a massive restock and still can be found in some places, but he's a Toys R Us exclusive.

Oh ok. Good to know for those that want that little psychopath.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I would be happy to hear that

That is, if I didnt lose intrest in getting him which I did.

 

[Kurri ★]

Y'know, I had no interest in Xenoverse 2 until two days ago. I don't know what possessed me, but I splurged the $80 for the deluxe pre-order and it's all I've been playing since. I'm 8-9 levels away from unlocking Super Saiyan.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Did King Dedede ever get a restock? I have never seen him anywhere

 

[Deleted member]

Tbh I'm pretty disappointed at the new Generations episodes.

I liked the one with Gabby and Ty (Deoxys vs Rayquaza was amazing) but I could've prefered an episode focusing on Wally.

The one about the Old Cheatau was just Plain disturbing. We are definetly getting an episode focusing on Buck at some point so hopefully the "other" episode focuses on Cyrus or Cynthia (Though the former is guaranteed to appear in an episode due to his appearence on the posted).

I'd ask how similar it is to the first but I don't think you played it.

 

[Opossum]

For the record, pretty much the only Smash amiibo that are really hard to find at the moment are Robin and Palutena (who are getting restocked soon), and the Smash versions of Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, DK, Diddy, Wario, and the Kirby cast. And Wii Fit Trainer, who is like the only one who has no signs of restocking and doesn't have another version of them out.

Ike, Captain Falcon, Shulk, Little Mac, Lucario, Greninja, and Marth were restocked late last year, and although really hard to find in store, they can be found pretty easily online.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

The only toys r us that has a villager for me is all the way in another city. forget that

 

[Guybrush20X6]

What excites me the most about AC's amiibo update is what the non-AC ones will do.

 

[praline]

I forgot about the Pokemon Generations videos.

 

[SuperMii3D]

I'd ask how similar it is to the first but I don't think you played it.

Control scheme seems to be the same, races are the same, there are some reused situations/timelines, but there are new ones. Attributes, Customization and shopping is pretty much the same.

 

[Kurri ★]

Nope. But from what I've read and heard, XV2 is an improvement. It's less special ki spammy and more skill based.

If my Pikachu amiibo does not give my Pokemin themed stuff, I will flip

I also want those new cards

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Pikachu didn't even give Yoshi his colors. Don't hold your breath.

 

[Chrono.]

Hopefully the RNG is less garbage (and also has less RNG in general).

 

[praline]

Special ki? What's that? I guessed I must have skipped that. No wonder I did so horribly. lol

aww Dreams=crushed

 

[Chrono.]

She means beam special attacks.

You know, like the Kamehameha and the Galick Gun.

 

[Opossum]

Yeah, I wouldn't count on the Pokémon amiibo giving anything. No Yoshi pattern, and not even unique sounds for Super Mario Maker. TPC and GameFreak are notoriously stingy, which sucks. It's the whole reason I didn't buy Lucario or Jigglypuff and why I have slight buyer regret for Charizard.

I don't regret Pikachu, Mewtwo, or Greninja though, since I actually enjoy them as Pokémon.

 

[Kurri ★]

Special ki? What's that? I guessed I must have skipped that. No wonder I did so horribly. lol

The attacks like Galick Gun or Spirit Bomb. I guess they were super spammy in XV1, but XV2 I hear fixed that. Or maybe people just haven't delved into the meta enough.

 

[SuperMii3D]

I completely forgot about the non-Animal Crossing amiibos for New Leaf. I wonder what kind of costumes they give.

 

[Chrono.]

Not exactly spammy by themselves.

It was that Saiyans could abuse them because Super Saiyan gave them infinite KI, so Saiyans were pretty overpowered.

But they got nerfed and the other races got transformations of their own this time.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Will read PM when i get home


"The Lusetania was shanked because it was packing heat"

It's ridiculous sentences like this that make me love history.

I found Little Mac used for about $5 at GameStop


Wii Fit Trainer isn't the only one to not get a restock either


Villager hasn't had any restock in TWO YEARS

Also Pit is a rare one too. And Ryu is still sitting on the shelf
