[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Hey, Miyamoto just turned 64 today.

what an adorable 64 year old he is
Hes the best

 

[Cutie Gwen]

After seeing more Flash, I have concluded Harrison Wells is a cinnamon roll who must be protected at all costs

Jesus. Komola has a higher BST than Breloom, Skarmory, Forretress, and Crawdaunt. AwesomeAussie27 are koalas usually this dangerous?

I now understand why it didn't get an evo, while only its Atk and Sp.Def are worth anything, its ability gives it a FULL volatile status immunity with the drawback being it can't theorically use Rest(a move it can't even learn in the first place)
It also has great physical coverage so it will be a considerable threat, maybe giving it an Assault Vest to boost its decent Sp.Def and it can take out Toxic stallers and special attackers like it's nothing
Gen 7 may be the "too slow" generation but at the same time it's also the gen where abilities make the Pokemon

I think I should point out how Wake up Slap does extra damage to it because of Comatose

 

[Pazzo.]

Miyamoto earned those 64 years. But, being Japanese, he doesn't look it.

Happy birthday to the visionary that brought us to where we are.

 

[FalKoopa]

Pun laden title time, Opossum ?

 

[LancerStaff]

The rumor article said the new Mario was gonna be more exploration focused like 64 was.

So yeah.

I'd sooner trust what I see with my own eyes then somebody else's. Even if they've seen it for themselves this could be another "dolphin" and "snowman" situation.

tbh, He looks like he is about 30 to me

and he is so tiny too

They are mostly peaceful herbivores in the wild and slightly docile. But it's only when they are threatened when koalas are forced to use their claws or even their teeth.

It's no mere Koalla.
This drop-dead narcoleptic is a drop bear!

 

[Champ Gold]

Hey, Miyamoto just turned 64 today.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

We may not agree with a lot of his design choices, but there's no doubt the man is very important to the industry.

Also the N64 jokes just kinda write themselves.

Agreed. How he made F-Zero and Mario 64 was impressive.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Quick, make sure your Pokemon wet themselves or have vegemite in their armpits to avoid Komala attacks.

 

[Aetheri]

Well then, Happy N64th to Miyamoto!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

omg no, the squirrels are screaming again

 

[ChikoLad]

*in Sonic Adventure Knuckles voice*
"oh no"

Yeah, I forgot to mention that
Also, not even Mold Breaker and its variants can bypass Comatose
Also also, some more info from Smogon

Spoiler

Steelworker IS infact 1.5x

Z-Mirror Move, Z-Me First and Z-Copycat will call for the Z variant of the move that is being copied and then apply their Z-Power effect

Sheer Cold doesn't work on Ice Pokemon and has reduced accurach when used by a non-Ice Pokemon

Sparkling Aria ignores Substitute so it's probably a Sound move. Hyper Voice on Liquid Voice Primarina confirmed pointless

For some reason, besides reducing Fire damage and preventing burns, Water Bubble also DOUBLES the power of all Water moves and still gets STAB out of it. Dewpider op pls nerf

Arceus's type matches its Z-Crystal, Judgement remains unnaffected

Sleep only lasts 1-3 turns. ABOUT ****ING TIME

You got something wrong. Mirror Move's variant is also a Swords Dance

 

[Opossum]

As someone who always complained that the other chosen children never got to Ultimate level, this was satisfying to watch.

Spoiler

I know they get there in tri. but I don't like the evolution sequences there nearly as much.

I'm not too up to speed on Digimon, but didn't Kari's Gatomon become Magnadramon or something similar?

I'd sooner trust what I see with my own eyes then somebody else's. Even if they've seen it for themselves this could be another "dolphin" and "snowman" situation.

If it helps, there appears to be what looks like a 64-styled heart in one scene, so going back to 64 style doesn't seem too out of line.

 

[Coricus]

Oh, there's a new leak?

There are also plans to add additional single player content to the game, and for the Switch version of the game to have a similar free content output schedule to the one the Wii U version of the game enjoyed.

Oh sweet mercy yes. Single player is by far the weakest part of Splatoon.

Part of me would hope that they would give it more of an actual plot on top of the Sunken Scroll searches since for the first three areas it kind of went with an excuse plot and then after that you had to complete another entire area after getting a single lone plot point before being able to resolve it. . .at the final boss. . .but then I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. . .it's really unfortunate, too, because at least in my region when the game actually had writing it actually got kind of entertaining. When.

If it's having a free content output schedule, that probably means another little over a year of Splatfests, as well.

The bit about the 1v1 mode is. . .odd. For some reason hearing about weapon swapping made my mind shoot right to Smash, though.

Since nearly every other game I wanted is shaping up to release half a year or more later, having this be the pack-in instead of a game I don't care about works for me at least. I understand that some other people might be disappointed, though, and every bit of news scares me a bit more as to how angry everyone is going to be about the Switch. . .

That's what I meant with "Z-Power effect" aka the added effect almost every status move gets

Seems like just another callback to me...
I question how open it really is, judging from how everything just outside the camera's focus was empty desert.

Then you should have made that clear Q.Q

My local news channel just put the ****ing Dragon Roost Island theme in the middle of it, can they even do that?

GameXplain did a pretty sweet analysis of the five seconds of footage we were shown, but it definitely seems expansive, since it looks like the two desert areas we've seen are the same level. We can tell due to certain landmarks appearing in the backgrounds of both, and judging by how differently placed they seem, the level looks really big. At least, by Mario standards, anyway,

Part of me is terrified how much nerd rage is going to effect Switch sales.

On the bright side, at least it's year one which is still leagues better than the 3DS and Wii U's fares, and if the Zelda brigade is waiting a couple of months then there either won't be too much worry about a shortage at launch or there will be enough time to restock afterwards if there is one. Plus spacing out releases could possibly leave the door open for people who would run out of money buying everything at once to not have to choose between games and keep getting them as they launch over time.

A) Digimon in general can have multiple Megas. Tai's Agumon alone we saw go both War and SkullGreyMon. (Edit: SGM is a ultimate; but the point is branching evos have always been a thing)
B) The main theory to explain Magnadramon is that it's the evolution path Gatomon took by warp digivolving while she lacked the holy relic of her tail ring (one of the subplots of Adventure 02); thus keeping a more beastial form. Ophanimon is just the "natural" digivolution of Angewoman.

I can guarantee you the whining about the 'delay' is inconsequential as it's be coming out later, and people aren't ******** enough to buy a Wii U for an inferior version when it's out

If it will make this joke stop, Ill do it for you and give Zor a restraing order aginst you so you two will never see eachother again

I very much prefer to disagree with Gamexplain on this one. For example the commonly sited golden waypoint was from Galaxy. Honestly the scale of the levels is about what you'd see in Galaxy... And the layout of open-ish hub area to linear platforming challenge is identical to many Galaxies from the two games.

 

[Coricus]

Reading through the NeoGAF thread and hit a vein of "Pokemon Sun/Moon port."

Uh. . .if there was any level of consideration to release it on the 3DS if the Switch doesn't sell like an interview implied, I wouldn't quite go with that.

To point it out, though, traditional third versions would fit incredibly neatly with the whole "upgraded port" situation a bunch of other games are rumored to have. . .

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

oh yeaah 2 more daays till sun and moon, or for me, 1

I keep trying to remake my SM team but it always ends up with the same 5 and a blank spot
Also, Lurantis, a second stage Pokemon, has only 4 more BST than Oricorio and Mimikyu

Oh, and it turns outs Beak Blast is not a Solar Beam-like move and instead works like Focus Punch: the user charges at the very beginning of the turn and unleashes the move regardless of what happens to it at the end, while being able to burn anyone that makes direct contact with it. This move's usage went from 0 to 10 too quickly

We already got a divorce you dumbass
It's things like this why we ended up like this, you keep forgetting important stuff like that

It's not a goddamn joke when she couldn't even remember our wedding anniversary

Beak Blast doesn't work when the user is frail as **** against special attacks you ****

I never said it was always useful you *****, but being a FP-like move that can't be stopped is WAY better than discount Sky Attack

But even then, people are going to be wary about it and only works on contact

You've guessed it. It's kind in an urban myth that we spread to tourists, especially America can ones. They are here huge, carnivorous, and can devour your corpse after they drop on you from treetops.

Speaking in Aussie slang best helps you from being their next foreign meal. Or you can put a fork in your hair for extra measure. Vegemite is your friend, always wear it like its deodorant. Better than peeing your pants to scare one to risk embarassing yourself.

Happy Birthday to Shigeru Miyamoto. I may not agree with everything he does, but that doesn't change the fact how much history he made.
