Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Opossum]

It's 6 AM to me, so I won't be watching it until after 2 PM (after my schoolday ends).

I predict that there will be 10+ new pages on this thread when I log in in the morning.

Honestly that might be lowballing it.

I've fought Wonderguard Spiritombs.
And a competent Tracer is still the most Anti-Fun thing to fight against in my history.

How would you come upon a situation where you'd use those words on a daily basis?

Either by having a generally negative and self-deprecating viewpoint about yourself, being generally direct and harsh when it comes to using adjectives or just being a total nerdy adult who talks too much.

Or a combination of the three in my personal case. <3

For most people I know, it's the second or third one. Or if it's none of the above, they're just parents. Parents seem to always use words like that for some reason.

Only thing I didn't like about Zootopia is that it tried too hard to be self-aware at certain points. Other than that, A+ in my books. Would watch again/come to own, 10/10, etc.

Moana, however, really scratched that classic Disney itch for me. I absolutely loved that movie, ranks up there as one of my favorites of all time. Great dialogue, great music, great characters (Maui stole the ****ing show for me). About the only thing I could say against Moana was that the story was really, really, REALLY formulaic. Like, super safe and super "yeah I've seen this ish before" kinda stuff. But I'm largely okay with that, seeing as how the execution in every other respect (the CG/digital art it was ****ing beautiful on top of everything else) was top notch.

Smooth Criminal

Heya Smooth. I haven't seen Moana yet, nor have I even heard a single thing about it aside from a certain redhead loved by many, especially on KnowYourMeme, for having a strong case of "the thickness". (Or "THICC" or so I have been told it is spelled...Internet slang is weird.)

What is Moana about? Is it really that good? If so, that'll have to mark another new Disney movie I'll have to see as soon as possible.

Spoiler

When Toon Link joins the battle, Alfonzo is in charge of the train. Alfonzo: “Leave it to me!”

And thus spawned all the Alfonzo memes.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

What *is* Moana about? Is it really that good? If so, that'll have to mark another new Disney movie I'll have to see as soon as possible.

Moana is based on the lore of the Pacific Islands.

It stars a girl who needs to help of demigod Maoi to fight an evil monster.

That's the gist of it. It's really good. I can link a song if you like.

 

[Aetheri]

This may seem weird but 11PM is a pretty convenient time for me, since I finish work at 9PM...

So long as the presentation doesn't last upwards of 3 or 4 hours (I don't think it will) since I do work in the morning...

Still waiting for someone to make a mod of this.

 

[FalKoopa]

It's nice to reminiscence back at the old pic of the day's for old times sake as we wait for the Switch presentation.

My favourite one was most surely this.

Spoiler

I was so incredibly happy when I found out for the first time that my little trooper was coming back. Especially when many people dismissed him as the single most certain cut from Brawl.

Same.
Those days were painful, especially due to the Spirit Tracks stage. I was seriously relieved to see him back in.

So what you're saying is that it's Pokemon Sun & Moon without all the family issues, amiright?

Poor jokes aside, I'm always up for a good Disney song. I still wonder to this day why there aren't any in Kingdom Hearts.

Fire away, buddy.

Stayed away from the spoiler heavy songs.

Give a listen and tell me what you think.

Oh boy, I saw some Dangan Ronpa V3 spoilers.

People are not happy about this.

Spoiler: huge spoilers for the game

The main character was actually the culprit from the first chapter, and is killed off right after and replaced by the detective dude.

It's getting a huge amount of backlash because:
- The first female protagonist was killed for a swerve in a particularly gruesome manner, even for the series
- The character who replaces her is not all that interesting, especially since his particular character trait was already done before

 

[praline]

Time to start my play through of Witcher 3

just because shes the first female protag, doesnt mean shes safe from being killed.

DR is doing Its job at making people go into dispair lol

 

[Wario Bros.]

While I'm watching the Switch presentation live, I most likely won't watch the Treehouse live (I rarely have in the past). Might depend on my mood tomorrow.

 

[Coricus]

Alright everyone, who's excited for the Nintendo Switch!

"Ugh, not me, Nintendo has been such a disappointment that I don't expect anything good to come out of this."

OK. . . I. . . guess I shouldn't have tried to pump up the hype train, then. . . :/

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Apparently only 50% of devs believe the Switch will outsell the Wii U. Maybe it's because I'm exhausted and hungry, but I want to slap their faces

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

What confuses me about the 1st chapter of DRv3 is

Spoiler

That person that got killed first didnt show up in the death pictures along with the killer

 

[Z25]

I'm starting to think Nintendo told companies & people "don't retweet our Switch tweets"

That could be possible, probably to keep expectations in check and maybe lower angry tweets when something that was "confirmed" didn't get confirmed.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

My cat is blocking the computer screen.... it wants my chair....

Honestly that might be lowballing it.

You're right: Make it 20+.

Inb4 Smash Switch is confirmed and Social 5 is already open when I log in.

 

[Coricus]

I'm not sure how anyone can believe it's physically possible for the Switch to be as much of a trainwreck as the Wii U, let alone more.

Then again, that seems to be the narrative the fandom is working with and humanity has disappointed me before. . .

What devs were even asked about this? Because you'd think major companies would know better but indie devs have the quantity to skew that result and they have pretty much the same mentality as any other gamer with all that implies.

 

[RamOne]

I'm not going to watch it tonight. It's at 5 AM for me and while I do need to get up early, I haven't been sleeping well lately and don't feel hyped for it.

It's not even the most brutal execution the series has. A huge shame about your second point, though.

Huh, that's really interesting, actually.

 

[Aurane]

The only thing that I'm hype about regarding the Switch is the Ninty and Beth work-together. Ought to go well.

I totally called that this was gonna happen. It was inevitable. There was no way they were gonna toss aside the detective boy.

People should come to understand that there are no lengths to which Danganronpa won't go for the sake of having the story it wants for itself. Especially after the way the DR3 anime went and ended.

Spoiler

Stayed away from the spoiler heavy songs.

Give a listen and tell me what you think.

You know, I was under the impression that "a song" meant literally a single song, but I'm not complaining. Allow me to give these a listen in just a moment.

I 99% guarantee you the end result of it will only be Skyrim.

And I've had enough Skyrim for a lifetime.

Those people clearly don't know how badly the Wii U sold.

Honest question.

Where is this so called "hype deflation" coming from?

Everywhere I've seen has been pretty excited about the presentation. And the negativity definitely hasn't been in this thread (I mean if I haven't been meticulously critical about Nintendo, which I haven't been right now, then nobody here is gonna be).

I mean if you're going to NeoGAF or something like that, you're just asking for negativity. They're negative about everything.

Because that could be catastrophic if true.

More accessories leaked.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Huh, that's really interesting, actually.

Spoiler

Whats even weirder is his picture is at the 2nd trial, face crossed out and everything. I thing the spoilers say he faked his death?

Honestly I've been thinking of just making a new thread tomorrow, whether we go over 2000 or not. The Switch presentation just seems like a nice bookend for the thread.

Of course that's mainly up to the mods.

Spoiler: You've been warned

Yes, he's still alive. I could tell you more about him but I don't know if you want to know that. I don't know everything about the game myself but I accidentally spoiled myself on him.

I mean if you're going to NeoGAF or something like that, you're just asking for negativity. They're negative about everything.

NeoGAF's mood has been swinging back and forth like a viking ship ride, which I suppose for them is a plus. And yeah, I've been going there because I'm not sure where else is even talking about it to any frequency.

This thread hasn't exactly been actively dismissive, but there's an overwhelming mood of "meh" in terms of the Switch to the point that I'm not sure who exactly is even excited enough to look forward to the presentation or the Switch in any more than a vaguely curious fashion. When I asked "Who's excited for Splatoon Switch?" a while back on this thread I got two or three "Not me" answers before anyone said yes and even then it was only one yes, so I was basing it off of that rather than strictly Switch reception.
