They should make a "teeth" design in the front

How is that thing supposed to drive over large vehicles?

Everything thaat I have to say about that trailer
"Look, we're so cool!" That's ALWAYS bad when you outright say you're cool
They hype the everloving **** out of dashing. DASHING!
"We have combos that activate when you dash into ****!" Isn't the whole point of satisfying combos being that you fling the enemy across the screen? This is admittedly a nitpick
"I know you love combo on combo action" There's porn of combos? O.O
Holy **** those explosion graphics are ****ing awful
"anime" LMAOOO I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A COMMENT ON THE VIDEO THEY ACTUALLY INSULTED ANIME FANS DESPITE HOW THEY ARE THE PEOPLE YOU SHOULD BE ADVERTISING TOO.
This was an amazing trailer for all the wrong, yet beautiful reasons

Since MN9's Kickstarter was basically running side by side the Kickstarter of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero way back when (which I've happily dropped 200 smackeroos on it), I almost supported MN9.

Glad I didn't.

Speaking of Shantae: I just ordered this baby:
I don't know why, but Shantae's artwork seems to remind me of the artwork for Wario Land: Shake It!.

Now that I look at it, I can definitely see what you mean.

Which is good, Wario Land Shake It literally had the world's best art and music.

No other art from that game beats this, though:

Who needs the fancy shmancy stuff we got today when we already have this?
Who needs busty genie ladies when we got the miraculous ***?

To be honest I don't think even they have an answer for that.
I mean concept wise I guess it's a good idea in some sci-fi dystopian society, but the execution is lacking in just about everything else.

You can't make this **** up. This is an actual exchange between a cool and collected ninja and a savage abs woman.

Also this one is funny both in context and out of context.

But "style" isn't just simply defined as "realistic" or "not realistic". Anime and realism are also not mutually exclusive.

You can have "realistic anime", for example.

UC and AC are both realistic, but they are not stylistically similar. By saying they are similar, you are saying that current day civilisation doesn't have any stylistic difference between B.C times, the Renaissance, etc. Because Uncharted is set in the modern day with some fantastical locations on occasion, and Assassin's Creed is set throughout so many eras in history that each have their own visual style and flair, as they did in real life.

It seems to me like you are confusing "style" with "rendering method", or you could even say genre honestly. Style refers to the aesthetic elements of a visual piece, like cultural influence, colour tone, and the like. Rendering Method is how it's produced, be it photography, traditional 2D art, digital 2D art, or 3D CGI rendering. Two shows both being anime does not automatically mean their style is similar. Just like how, Pop Rock and Heavy Metal are not all that similar despite deviating from the same genre.
Sorry, I'm just not familiar with some terms, so I guess my point was lost on that.

But yeah, that's what I meant.

When you define style like that, I suppose your arguments make more sense and to which I agree.

It's funny you post this as in my birthright playthrough, I married these two and then...

Kaze died because I didn't a support him with Corrin. It was sad, I fixed that in revelations though.

So GameStop's preorder bonus for Kirby Planet Robobot is a booster pack of trading cards.

Feels weird to announce the existence of said trading cards series this way. Was this a thing in Japan prior to this?

All I know is they've done this multiple times before with other games, a la Mario Kart Wii and Mario Galaxy. Didn't actually think they'd bring 'em back.

Either way, pretty sure they'll be one in the same.
Cheesy puns and descriptions that try to be cool but utterly fail at it.
Of course there's most likely gonna be some big picture behind all of 'em (probably gonna be the boxart) to make you collect them all or something.

May buy a few packs and glue 'em together if that happens, honestly.

Seems everything's getting trading cards these days, as a Zelda set was announced not too long ago...

Actually reminds me of a side mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X where you go around trading cards with various people...kinda made me want a Xenoblade set as well...

would literally throw money at Nintendo if they made metroid cards not gonna lie...

Try having Kaze trigger Miraculous Save on anyone
I can't even count how many times that saved me a reset
He's the real MVP, 10/10 personal skill

Also, is that a Hoshido Noble!Corrin I see? Why is he promoted? Did you grind or did you promote him at Lv10?

I promoted him at around Level 10. Wasn't even aware you could promote through power grinding.

Because of the Path Bonus for having all three version of Fates, I was given 2 free Master Seals as soon as I finished the Branch of Fate. Used them on Corrin and Rinkah when they got to around Level 10 (with Rinkah being brought to Master Ninja rather than Oni Chieftan because I wanted the Ninja and Master Ninja skills ASAP as they are pretty handy in earlier chapters IMO). Also I got two more Master Seals along the way as normal and gave them to Kaze and Saizo. And now after beating that mission, I was able to upgrade the Rod Shop and they had 4 more Master Seals in stock, so I'm gonna do some promoting now.

As for why I promoted to Hoshido Noble...no particular reason really. I mean I did a little research for Rinkah because I felt like I was onto a good plan for her and just wanted to double check. I'm going blind with everyone else though and just doing whatever. I just assumed Hoshido Noble was a straight upgrade from Nohr Prince. And it turns out I can use staves with it which is handy in a pinch. I didn't equip many items to Corrin before because I didn't feel like he needed them, so I've been filling those slots with staves in case my main healers can't get to a unit when I need them to or something.

Oh well, ****
You just made a big mistake, you don't promote early, you want to go up to Lv20 for the level up gains, you effectively gave up on +10 possible gains for each stat(won't happen but that's the maximum you can get)
Trust me, I learned that the hard way, no one but a few units(aka prepromote Xander, Keaton, Forrest and glass canon Corrin) could actually do anything by the endgame
Then again, it's Birthright, it's easier, you can grind for Eternal Seals to fix it if it becomes a problem and Ryoma is there
But just keep this in mind when you play Conquest

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

But I heard something about that it's still possible to get those gains back because although the level display caps at Lv. 99, you can still keep leveling up somehow. I'll hold off on promoting anyone else for now though.

I'm getting 29 from it.

I'm not great at maths though.

EDIT: Scratch that, I misread the entire thing. Didn't realise the sums were coming out with "incorrect" numbers.

A combination of IRL events from last night and that intense mission in Fire Emblem has left my brain for dead.

You add the sum of the last line to the additives on the current one.
(5) + 2 + 5 = 12
(12) + 3 + 6 = 21
(21) + 8 + 11 = 40
I got it

But, it actually has multiple answers.

There is that way

BUT, it also has the pattern of B(A) + A = X / (Or A+B(A)=X)

This works for all questions, but comes up with 96 for the last one

4(1)+1 = 5
5(2)+2 = 12
6(3)+3 = 18
11(8)+8 = 96

We may have reached the crowner in dumb things comics have done for shock value, even more than those Silver age covers. You ready?

Captain America is now a Nazi. The white one, in case your were confused. Wasn't one or more of his creators Jewish?

I've never watched a scene from the show before but that was pretty bad.

It's nice that they did that for the kid, props to them for doing that.

But taking that context out, that scene pretty much represented all of the problems with kids cartoons these days.

And acknowledging your show is bad as part of a joke, while briefly funny, ultimately comes off as tone deaf.

You know what they say...

(21) + 8 + 11 = 40
Actually I just realized

If you continue the pattern

1+4=
2+5=
3+6=
4+7=
5+8=
6+9=
7+10=
8+11=

You'll find that both ways can figure out the answer

But the answer is obviously 96. BOTH ways of figuring it out would lead to 96.

So, MY pattern was more accurate

Those are the Eternal Seals I mentioned, they boost your level cap by 5 and can be used as many times as wanted, they caan be even used at Lv99(though the level number will stay the same)
They are only sold at the Lv3 Rod/Staff Shop but have unlimited stock
They are somewhat expensive but, you know, it's Birthright

Star Fox Guard tournament scene has been shaken up harder than the Smash scene ever has been.

That's the thing though. It's a joke.

The show is not meant to be any different, because that's not how they are told to run the show. It is meant to be a comedy spinoff that pokes fun at everything related to the franchise, show and all. It's not meant to mean that the creators think their show is bad, it's meant to be funny based on what fans of the original show think og this reboot.

there's nothin that really needs to be fixed. It's a different show, something a lot of people need to realize. The original show is meant to have nothing to do with it, hence why they mock the comments that say the original was better. It's meant to be fun and a new thing, not some ultimate sequel to the original.

It's not what Cartoon Net Work wanted, so people should complain to the network, not Teen Titans go's creators.

To be honest I don't spend my money on much besides Seals anyway and a few upgraded weapons when they come in so it shouldn't be too bad.

And I'm not too worried about being ill-prepared for the final chapters. I mean there's no need for me to be so specific with certain characters I would imagine in Birthright if I'm just going for story progression. Main reason I'm doing my thing with Rinkah is part because I find it fun and she's my favourite character in the game, and part because I might play this game online after.

I realize Teen Titans Go is trying to be its own thing.
I just don't think what it does, even as its own thing, is all that entertaining. Even if I didn't watch the original series, I'd just see Go as a generic kids show.

I have some bad news for you, buddy...
Well, basically, let's just say that Fates online is a contest of who can trigger offensive skills first and powersaving
I mean mainly online with friends.

I had no idea there was a tournament scene for that...

I've barely watched the original Teen Titans, I have no nostalgia for it.

Teen Titans Go looks terrible regardless to me.
