Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Coricus]

You know what? I will say one negative thing about Splatoon. I really did not click with the single player portion at all. It felt like it had a bit of an excuse plot save for the Sunken Scrolls, and the gameplay just didn't strike me as very fun compared to other games with shooting elements I've played that had greater exploration and/or a faster pace. The Sunken Scrolls themselves alongside additional canon information offered by developers, while interesting, also had mind breaking amounts of Fridge Logic to them in terms of the backstory.

FORTUNATELY, guess what's rumored to be one of the things fleshed out in the Switch port due to the Switch needing to suffice for handheld gaming?

Let's just say depending on exactly what they're fleshing out, the Switch port may have a whole lot more reason for me to get it than just new tentacle styles. I can only hope the single player will have a bit more meat to the plot and some faster, more dynamic gameplay more akin to how fast and creative the multiplayer gets. And if not, well. . .at least they fleshed it out somehow. It felt neglected compared to the multiplayer no matter how you slice it, so any improvement is good.

*Quick edit* I did like the final boss fight when I played it again with my Amiibo, though, after a few times it started to feel like it had everything the other parts of the single player were missing.

. . .Still a bit linear of an arena, though.

Am I the only one hoping for some Dragon's Dogma representation?

Unless there would be issues having the Arisen order around multiple Pawns on the screen. But then again, MvC 1-2 did have Captain Commando functioning as a summoning fighter.

So much for a DD protagonist in Mahvel....

Hopefully not a Cartoon Fight Club. Better to keep our sanity than to see cheap jump scares and intentionally disturbing BLAM's (Big Lipped Alligator Moments).

R.I.P. Deep Down

At least there's that Nilin girl from Remember Me. She would be the first racially mixed Capcom fighter in the series.

That means that Dragon's Dogma is still alive and Capcom won't replace it.

WayForward owns the rights to Shantae despite the roster maker listing her as a Capcom character. Capcom only published the original GBC release of the first game.

Other than that, nice roster.

I could've fought the Trial Captains in Pokemon battles had I just backtracked during the main story.

Kinda dumb that I'm just finding out about this when my team can steamroll them.

I miss out on a ton of great films. Moana being one of them.

I dont even own a PS4 so I haven't played the first and never really heard too much good from it.

I just know the first game is a meme so I know it would get some reactions



Unrelated, Capcom Cup is a great watch right now.

I feel like aside from the Inkling every other Nintendo character would be ones already in Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

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.

Because pointless hate is pointless

2. I literally just mentioned AW not having a release on the Wii U and 3DS

Hence why it was striked, it was a joke

How is it stupid?

Because sales are sales, it doesn't matter if AW didn't have a Japanese release until later, and it got one eventually so what's your point?

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

I have never seen any interest for the series outside of some users mentioning it here on Smashboards
I'd like to know where such high demand comes from

the fact that you ignored my point of AW having a better sales trajectory than FE before going dark.

I didn't, I said that FE was on the chopping block already

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

There's no interest for the game, how can you say it's a goldmine? Just having good multiplayer(which is nothing special for a Strategy game, it's just FE that does it terribly) doesn't make a game sell millions

But whatever, I'm not gonna be discussing this any longer, if you wanna believe IS has some personal vendetta against AW and that it'd be a "goldmine", fine, I can't stop you from deluding yourself

Ok, how come no one told us that an Okami stage was planned for MvC3 but got scrapped for some lame reason?

 

[praline]

Does anyone have a list of all unused Pokemon typings?

I wanna see which ones even I can't make any for... and see if I can, maybe.

Something something the art style wouldn't mesh well with MvC3's style.

When they were able to make Yami work well with Tatsunoko vs Capcom's style easily. Not that he was a fun final boss to fight against.

So while wandering around after bodying Molayne for the Title defense....

I bumped into Faba in Aether Paradise, it turns out we can battle him again...I'm disappointed that the Aether theme doesn't play but since this is supposed to be a friendly battle unlike before...it occurred to me that he's the Psychic specialist of the game...

So...
Normal-Ilima
Grass-Mallow
Water-Lana
Fire-Kiawe
Electric-Sophocles
Steel-Molayne
Ghost-Acerola
Fighting-Hala
Rock-Olivia
Dark-Nanu
Ground-Hapu
Fairy-Mina
Flying-Kahili
Psychic-Faba
Bug-Guzma
Poison-Plumeria
Dragon-Ryuki
Ice-?

I don't recall an Ice type specialist anywhere...I feel like there has to be one since every other type has a specialist, this would be the first game to have a specialist for all 18 pokemon types if I'm not mistaken...

I think I may need to keep up with the title defenses if I want to see them...either that or they're chillin (harhar) in Mt. Lanakila or something...

 

[Schnee117]

If Wars returns then keep it as an RTS. It's far more suitable as that. Alternatively take notes from Civilization.

Moon update!

Finally got to Tapu Village and caught a Castform. :D Main game team should be complete now, since Dhelmise is too late to be usable sadly. :/

Current team:

Spoiler

Castform (28)
Primarina (40)
Mudsdale (37)
Ribombee (37)
Toucannon (36)
Litwick (34)

Yeah, many are over leveled for this point in the game. Blame catching literally everything I didn't have already.

Loving Moon so far, though no totem or kahuna has given me trouble yet. Like, at all. Ribombee, Primarina, and Mudsdale just kept killing things.

1. And i'm saying it's not hate. It's frustration. What part of this do you not get?

2. Because we can't make said comparisons because we don't know the sales figures for the GBA AW games. I base it off what we do know and what we do know is that AW has outsold FE outside of Japan.

3. All over the internet. Especially on [r]nintendo where aside from F-Zero it's one of the most requested series to be revived.

The demand is also significant enough for the series to be brought up in an official Nintendo interview for Awakening where the interviewer even mentioned a lot of fans asking for a new AW game.

http://fireemblem.nintendo.com/developer-interview/page4.html

4. Yeah and that if we were arguing this from the perspective of historical data AW would obviously be the series in favor of being revived because it was the series with the positive sales trajectory unlike FE. You pretty much brushed that off.

5. Again with your baseless claims of their being no interest for the game when I proved you wrong already. I brought it up because like I said before local multiplayer is what the Switch is emphasizing on and that's what AW does best. Multiplayer is a huge component of what AW is all about and would be a huge marketing pull being able to play matches both on the go and on the big screen with others.

But whatever, I'm not gonna be discussing this any longer, if you wanna believe IS has some personal vendetta against AW and that it'd be a "goldmine", fine, I can't stop you from deluding yourself

Again putting words in my mouth. I never implied IS hated AW.

If you want to drop it it's fine because clearly you're the only one deluding yourself with doing nothing but asserting things that aren't true or just flat out putting words in my mouth.

WayForward owns the rights to Shantae despite the roster maker listing her as a Capcom character. Capcom only published the original GBC release of the first game.

Other than that, nice roster.

Yeah, I was a bit confused when I saw Shantae there because I didn't know she was associated with Capcom. And thanks.

I feel like aside from the Inkling every other Nintendo character would be ones already in Smash.

Well MvC usually has some obscure characters so I figured i'd expand that to series not represented in Smash Bros and series that have some significance to Nintendo as a whole. And besides it would be boring to just have series already in Smash Bros in the game.

Unless there would be issues having the Arisen order around multiple Pawns on the screen. But then again, MvC 1-2 did have Captain Commando functioning as a summoning fighter.

I've always been interested in trying out Dragon's Dogma. Would there be anything I would be missing if I played Dark Arisen and not the first game? Like would I be missing anything that isn't a cosmetic, like any story from the first game or any important stuff?

Anyway, here's hoping for a Breath of Fire and Monster Hunter character for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. Those 2 need to appear at some point. Like I don't mind which BoF character gets chosen, although Ryu, Nina and Fou-lu would be cool, I would just like a Breath of Fire character to have a playable appearance(although I'd appreciate if they don't come from 6. Not until that stuff's been sorted and dealt with.).

Also I hope the Monster Hunter developers are more willing to allow a Hunter, Felyne or Monster to enter, since last time I heard, the MH developers were rather protective. But I mean, they allowed Smash Bros to make Mii Fighter costumes for the original Hunter and Rathalos armors and allowed Gore Magala to appear in the Sega/Capcom crossover comic. So maybe hopefully they've been becoming a bit more willing to allow MH to be in stuff.

In the Battle Tree she does only use Ice Pokemon though (when helping you).

Nothing much. But I would recommend Dark Arisen easily since it's a rerelease with not only all the DLC, but new quests and a region (Bitterblack Isle) in addition to the old ones. It's much better than playing both the first game and the expansion to be honest.

I too hope that the Monster Hunter team can losen that grip around their characters. Any character from that verse can work as a fighter, even the biggest beast if we were to go there. Imagine being able to play as the Deviljo in the roster (Or even Rathalos).
