It's also Iron Man's theme, so I picked my favorite version of that one.
I know, since you said remixes, his was a remix of Iron Man's.

Outside of remixes, Venom, Ghost Rider, and Nova's Sega-ish/Robot Master theme are pretty good. Also the Original version of the Spider-Man theme is my favorite.

It runs so smooth compared to the Wii U footage.

And he confirmed that this is the first time we've ever seen Switch footage of the game.

WOW!
They were smart with this market strategy I personally believe. They showed it off to the right crowd.

Jimmy Fallon is an internationally watched celebrity.

Heck his Youtube channel alone has almost 13 million subscribers.

That along with the very clear and easy to understand marketing...

They hit it out of the park on this one. I'm super impressed.

Well, geez, I really did NOT expect for Reggie to show off the switch on Jimmy Fallon but holy hell that was a really good move on their part. Very nice surprise.

Not to mention Jimmy was perfect to surprise with due to his personality. While I might not care for his show, I can definitely say that his character is funny and provides a great source of material for many to enjoy. So when having a guy like him play something like that and then have Reggie mention the direct, it definitely caught some peoples attentions probably.

So.

What remixes from the vs Capcom series do you think are the best?

I think these ones take the cake.


Keep in mind, I said remixes. Not original themes.
The MvC3 remix of Zero's theme is so ****ing good and a lot better then the original version (Mega Man X2) as it was extremely repetitive and short even though it sounded cool. Batsu's theme reminds of an anime opening, especially at around 0:27; another good one.

A couple more of my personal favorites are these two.

Do angels really run that well in those dresses?
They do when they pick up speed sandals or have powers granted onto them by their bosses.

They do have a tendency to run out of breath quickly otherwise, though.

. . .

. . .Umh. So I'm going to have to watch that clip in a bit.

Nintendo really is doing everything right with the Switch.

Revealing everything about the console 2 months prior to release has me a bit concerned. But everything else? They've done great.

From my understanding Jimmy Fallon actually does enjoy and indulge in video games, so, although he's definitely not my favourite talk show host, he was probably the best and most fitting choice.

Anyone's better than Conan though, really, who would've been the next best thing. Oh god... *Flashbacks to the Smash Bros. Clueless Gamer*

Never again, Nintendo. Please, thanks.

As a Devil May Cry fan, I'm partial to Dante's and Vergil's theme in particular.

Heck, even the two months thing I'll give them.

It doesn't take long for news to travel with social media around and people get bored quickly. I can see why they'd pump out all the news on it in a huge deluge at once right before release.

The idea is to hit fast and hit hard. In light of the shelf-life of memes and fads, playing chicken with the reveal date to release date ratio may actually be smarter.

They just have to hit fast and hard in the meanwhile. And dang. Baiting casuals with news on the phone game and then showing them the Switch?

Just watched the switch video. Looking pretty good! Definitely a smart strategy! The presentation should be pretty good if it goes as good as it's been so far.

That's fair. It can work if Nintendo does it very well, just have a bit of concern is all, nothing too major.

So I've just got myself a Level 26 Trubbish after countless Wonder Trades from Donald Trump (Yungoos).

Should I keep it or having Male Sandalit and Alola Grimer makes it irrelevant?

Hahahahaha

I just watched the Switch footage and Fallon is literally shaking when he's finally holding and playing it.

The guy was chomping at the bit and telling half their info for them and then popping open the kickstand without even asking first once he got his mitts on it.

It's like he was at freaking Christmas. I guess we know one person who's going to be picking it up at launch.

*EDIT* :4greninja: Well I see I'm not the only one who noticed the most important part of this message. :4greninja:

Eh, I'd say keep it for now. Or trade it later if you feel a Garbodor won't be more useful than an Alolan Muk in the end.

Your choice personally.

I can't say I'm surprised at the Switch version of BotW running at a smoother framerate than the Wii U version. While it can suck to have only one of the two systems and only have access to an inferior version, it is what it is. This will probably be one of the first games I'll get for the Switch.

I hope all the positive buzz doesn't mean I won't be able to get a Nintendo Switch preordered for launch. I want one of these things ASAP.

. . .Thinking on it, I'm incredibly glad this thing isn't releasing during the holidays. Think of how much worse it would be with that. This way you can slide in early on and then have a huge wave of players jump on top when the holidays actually do roll around.

Just have to be able to get one first. . .

Eh, seeing how the game probably isnt gonna be a Switch launch, I'll make do with the wii u game

And seeing how I love throwing my money at Nintendo, I might end up getting the switch and zelda for it ( Whenever it comes out)

This Super Mario Run commercial reminds me of the Pokémon GO trailer from last year. It's very, very un-Nintendo.

There's also a video showcasing the game's features as well as unlocking Luigi, Yoshi, and Toad as playable characters, the latter of which is a My Nintendo reward. Here it is. It's still a bummer it's not launching simultaneuosly on Android.

Also, I got really hyped when I saw Breath of the Wild running smooth on the Switch while undocked during the Tonight Show video. I had already thought about getting the game for the system, so there's that.

Heh, good.

That trailer was great! Almost made me consider getting SMR.

Also I really want Wario to be playable in Super Mario Run for some reason. xP

I don't really care which lasts longer... they're both going to be in the very top percentile of iOS performance. I was just interested in playing Pokemon Go when it came out as opposed to SMR, which I'm gonna pass on.

How much do you want to bet? ;)
