Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[powerprotoman]

so im going to predict 2 season 2 characters for SFV
C.Viper and Haggar/Abel

the first 2 shilouets in the trailer look like them

 

[ChikoLad]

I can't believe Crash Bandicoot is ****ing dead.

 

[Coricus]

This is a real FFXV screenshot.

Spoiler: Not for the faint of heart.

10 years in development.

I feel reminded of the time someone got a corrupted Smash 4 disk right when it released.

Somehow even with the game glitching out of control that Chocobo still looks incredibly good.

Jfc dude, what's up with your hate on FE?
You act like IS making a FE game is the most offensive act that they could do to AW and its fans
Like, holy ****, one game doesn't interfere at all in the other and even then, AW will remain dead because it doesn't make money while FE now does, hence why it's everywhere now. Even before Awakening, FE already was IS's main series

Whoa, chill out man. I never even wanted to open that can of worms. I vented my frustration with the series eating away at the other and never meant to make this a debate.

When did I ever say I hated FE? I never said I did. Granted there's some aspects about the series I don't like but all in all it's a good series that I like and my Smash main originates from the series. You might be getting my hate for how over bloated FE representation in Smash Bros is mixed up with how I actually feel about the series as a whole. What I do really hate is how IS decided to solely focus on just that series and ignore it's other series.

But since you brought it up pretty much everything you said here is quite frankly total nonsense no offense. I'll address it one by one.

Spoiler

Even before Awakening, FE already was IS's main series

Not even close. The two were neck and neck before that and had the exact same amount of releases. And if you need proof of that, here's how the two series were pre-Awakening.

Spoiler

Famicom Wars-FE1
Game Boy Wars-FE2
Game Boy Wars Turbo-FE3
Super Famicom Wars-FE4
Game Boy Wars 2-FE5
Game Boy Wars 3-FE6
AW1-FE7
AW2-FE8
Battalion Wars-FE9
Battalion Wars 2-FE10
AWDS-FE11
AWDoR-FE12

Why the series has suddenly disappeared all of a sudden when it's always been as active as it's sister series is no coincidence. The series has never missed any Nintendo console/handheld since it started back in the NES era (other than the N64) and it was a complete no-show for the Wii U/3DS generation.

AW will remain dead because it doesn't make money

Total BS. AW1 outsold FE7 and AW2 outsold FE8 not counting Japanese sales because the AW games never got released in Japan until later.

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/3340/fire-emblem/
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/12284/advance-wars/
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/3341/fire-emblem-the-sacred-stones/
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/12461/advance-wars-2-black-hole-rising/

FE had a worse sales trajectory than AW. At least AW was able to rebound from poor sales from Dual Strike from Days of Ruin. FE kept on going downhill as time went on to the point where FE12 didn't even get a western release because of it's sales. Not only that but DoR sold just as much as FE11 and the former didn't even get released in Japan whereas the later sold in every region. Mind you these were two games that released in the same year.

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/25700/fire-emblem-shadow-dragon/
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/7706/advance-wars-days-of-ruin/

And before you mention Awakening, AW never even had it's chance to make the same comeback FE did. I could argue that the series could have made an even bigger comeback than FE because at least the trajectory with AW was positive unlike FE's in which all consecutive releases just went down and down. The only reason why FE was revived over AW was because Japan tends to favor FE more than it does AW. A new AW game that markets better and sells well in Japan can outsell pretty much any FE game that gets released.

Not to mention the Switch emphasizing on local multiplayer which AW does a hell of a lot better than FE. Switch AW is pretty much a goldmine for IS and Nintendo and they just need to realize that.

Nintendo's is the same old but of the titles you specify for Sony you specify the remake (which has a different take on it gameplay wise granted), the remasters and entry number seven (actually nine if you count the Tag Tournament games) in a series.

I mentioned those because those are titles i'm looking forward in buying the most. Obviously they're not only what i'm looking forward to.

I guess I should have worded "same old" differently because all indicators are pointing to Nintendo focusing on the series that were on the Wii U/3DS.

 

[Baskerville]

Also the Crash remasters look beautiful!

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You know...

In episode 4 of the Sun and Moon anime.. Pikachu loses to a Grubbin.

Just that phrase makes it seem like Pikahcu lost its power again, but when I watched it, it's very clear it lost because Lillie ****ed up.

It had to dodge Lillie tripping while it was using quick attack, which put it in a bad position that the Grubbin took advantage of.

Lillie even apologizes afterwards.

I for one would prefer a brand new Smash Bros. game instead of the rumored port, for example, but then one'd have to wait 5+ years for it to launch. I'm well aware I don't even know what the port is about, or whether it has redeeming features or not. The only positive thing about the port is that it would be available for the system by the end of 2017, if true, anyway. I'd want to see more original titles get announced, like the new 3D Mario game that's in development, but then again there's next year for future reveals.

In the end, I'll end up waiting to see what happens.

Yeah, personally I can't get behind the idea of a Smash port with just the IC's, Wolf, and Inklings added in. Granted I don't even like the Inklings and IC's and Wolf aren't going to make me want to buy the game for a 3rd time. A Smash port needs to have annual or even semi-annual updates that adds characters to the game to get me interested in the game.

I also have to mentality of waiting for the January event and making my decision but all and all I can't say i'm too optimistic about the Switch other than me liking the concept and a few games.

Not really sure what you meant by that.

You do know laughing at nothing is a sign of insanity, right?

 

[Deleted member]

Another 20 minutes of Crash gameplay, though the person playing will probably make your grandmother look like a video game wizkid by comparison.

I can already tell I'd rather play the remastered version over the original (not that I don't still enjoy the latter). I'm liking the improvements in both gameplay and presentation.

 

[Baskerville]

Can I just say the CG playing in the trailer for Marvel Infinite reminds me a lot of Smash 4's CG trailers. I see Ryu's face and it looks very Smash like to me.
Plus Ms - urm, Captain Marvel looks cute.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'm gonna take a guess on the new Street Fighter 5 DLC.

I'm gonna be bold and say the first one isn't a dude, but instead C.Viper, and that's just her hair making the shape of a hat.

The second one is obviously Rolento.

Sodom?

Fourth one is either Sakura or Elena.

No clue on the last one.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

You do know laughing at nothing is a sign of insanity, right?

Ah, but what you said in itself, is a projected emotion.

That's what I'm getting at.

 

[ChikoLad]

Ah, but what you said in itself, is a projected emotion.

That's what I'm getting at.

Or it was just a friendly joke.

Which I guess only backs up my initial point.

 

[A Distant Demon]

You do know laughing at nothing is a sign of insanity, right?

ohhhhhhh so that explains why I always laugh at my own terrible jokes.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

I want a new Kirby game on the Switch at least.

Too bad there's years worth of Switch ports to wait past. At least Mario Kart will be worth it for giving us a slightly better roster and election of tracks. Need me more Petey Piranha in my life.

As for Smash, it really depends on how much new stuff we get really. And the Rabbids Mario RPG is passable as long as Waaaaa and Daisy have a main role as party members.

 

[Coricus]

I guess I should have worded "same old" differently because all indicators are pointing to Nintendo focusing on the series that were on the Wii U/3DS.

Well, Aonuma implied he was going to work on a new IP "where you can play as a thief" once BotW wrapped up.

Rumors are stating that there's a new IP in the works and that Retro is working on either a new IP or a series they hadn't before. Wave Race came up upon people checking in the legal system of one region regularly.

There's going to be a lot of "same old" because Nintendo has a lot of flagships they keep on every system, but Splatoon seems to have emboldened them slightly and there seems like there might be a greater emphasis on new franchises this time around. Not all of it will come to pass right away, but the converging game flows between console and handheld seem to be intended to supply regular, new, and more unlikely games all on the same pipeline.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Or it was just a friendly joke.

Bud.

So was mine.

 

[Ura]

...still confused by what was said...

 

[Baskerville]

It doesn't matter. ;P
Mahvel Time!

 

[ChikoLad]

ohhhhhhh so that explains why I always laugh at my own terrible jokes.

Yeah, you're pretty N.sane dude.

Bud.

So was mine.

Hence I made a joke in response. So there was no need for that whole "that in itself is a projected emotion " line.

We just got Planet Robobot this year, it would take at least a couple years for the next one. Unless you want another strange experimental spinoff like Mass Attack or Rainbow Curse.

Though yes, we need more of that crazy Reggae piranha plant. No seriously, he is reggae.

 

[Ura]

That's true though I doubt i'd be interested in most if Splatoon is any indication. I feel like i'm the only person in the world that doesn't like that game.

Good to see that devs like Aonuma and Sakurai are being given the opportunity to branch out and do their own thing though instead of being constrained to one series all the time. If nothing it should be interesting to see what they come up with.

 

[Ivander]

Well, Aonuma implied he was going to work on a new IP "where you can play as a thief" once BotW wrapped up.

Although to be honest, if Aonuma's new IP became anything like the Thief games, I certainly would be interested.

 

[praline]

Man some Pokemon are unnecessarily tall or heavy.

Does that mean Luigi is Mexican, Bowser Jr. is a sexy secret agent, Waluigi is a dirty hillbilly, and Wario is a fat German?

[Schnee117]

He says in the same thread as the guy that feels it's one of the worst shooters they've played. And I've played a lot of shooters.

 

[Ura]

Well I haven't played a wide variety of shooters other than the well known ones but Splatoon is pretty much at the bottom of my list of shooters that i've played. Just couldn't get in to it like Metroid and Pikmin.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

At least on the bright side, Helga has a perfect match that's better boyfriend material than Qwark.



Come on, you know you want it.

 

[Coricus]

Any time someone feels like the only one who doesn't like something, it's almost guaranteed to be untrue. I've seen other people dissatisfied with Splatoon and I almost wonder if the Switch version might experience a sales dip compared to the Wii U version from the number of people it didn't click with.

To encourage you slightly, I'm sure they won't just be sticking to any one particular genre or style with their experimentation. The leaked new IP gives me Splatoon vibes with the only hint to it's identity being that apparently it's unusual, but even so it's entirely possible a game with the same level of uniqueness could have an entirely different feel and fit that might suit you better.

 

[Deleted member]

When did I ever say I hated FE?

"I won't buy NSwitch if they announce a FE game before an AW one"-paraphrased
That sounds pretty hateful to me

Not even close. The two were neck and neck before that and had the exact same amount of releases. And if you need proof of that, here's how the two series were pre-Awakening.

I don't see how the number of releases proves a series' importance but if you want to go by that it just proves both had their chance to shine, and AW failed
Also, I don't see AW on 3DS or Wii U

Total BS. AW1 outsold FE7 and AW2 outsold FE8 not counting Japanese sales because the AW games never got released in Japan until later.

"Not counting japanese sales"
Ignoring how stupid this sentence is(because I doubt IS ignores sales inside their own country), FE was on the chopping block either way, as it was their main series, they gave it one last chance before it died, but that final bang became a fountain of money and here we are
AW didn't get one when it could and now one last chance would be pointless as any interest for the series has died and the only way it could be revived would be by getting a ride with FE and be advertised as "modern FE" but it won't have any anime waifus on it so that lowers its chances

Even then, the success of FE has nothing to do with AW's death and it actually is the one thing that could help

Switch AW is pretty much a goldmine for IS and Nintendo and they just need to realize that.

AW on Switch is as much of a goldmine as Mirror's Edge 2, a game no one even remembers existing

Brb, gonna go complain that Persona 5 localisation news interfere in the EO localisation announcement

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

At least on the bright side, Helga has a perfect match that's better boyfriend material than Qwark.

Helga deserves better, so I wouldn't mind it....

Until Helga whips him into shape like the wet noodle he is.

Anyone ever see that animated movie based on the Gen13 comic? It was alright. Probably one of the most 90's things I've seen in a bit.

1. I'm fed up with one series getting all the attention over the other. So what? Why do you even care? It's what I think.

2. I literally just mentioned AW not having a release on the Wii U and 3DS which in case you haven't noticed was the reason I even wrote that in the first place. And yeah it does show how important the series was because both had the same amount of releases and they pretty much mirror each other not to mention IS mentions both series in the same breath as the series they're always thinking about.

3. How is it stupid? I literally mentioned how both AW1 and AW2 never had a Japanese release until later meaning any comparison would have to exclude Japanese sales in which both AW games did better. You mentioned AW selling poorly and I brought up how there's different instances of the series outselling FE with historical data. Also very nice of you to assert that there's no interest in the series when it's a Nintendo series that's among the most requested to be revived and the fact that you ignored my point of AW having a better sales trajectory than FE before going dark. That's like me looking at FE12's sales and saying that there's no point in reviving the series because of how **** it sold but at least with AW4 there's an instance of the game selling better than the other.

4. Super duper cop out right there. I already explained why it's a goldmine and you brought up something completely different.

Even though I came home late at night mad from work imma stay up just to see what the new Mahvel has in store.
Not working tomorrow anyway and thank god for that.

[Aurane]

My new Battle Tree record is now at 42. With the new Battle Points, I bought a Lucarionite, a Destiny Knot and a couple energy drinks for my Pokémon.

I also just finished EV leveling Tapu Lele, so now I need to breed and evolve Abra into Alakazam., and my doubles "Psychic Spam" team will have its roots.
