Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Depressed Gengar]

So you guys think Nintendo will announce their planned TV shows around the same time as the NX reveal?

Not really. I'd imagine we won't be getting any news on the TV shows until next year.

 

[_Sheik]

I have yet to understand what's the big deal about Link's gender.

He's always been effeminate, but male. You know, like every bishounen character ubiquitous in Japanese media, notably video games, manga and anime.

The Legend of Zelda has always been anime inspired in its art. It's nothing new, really, but people pretend it is with every game. lol

Yeah, maybe once people are done ranting over that silly Link gender debate which they won't win, they'll try to get compensation for it and turn another iconic bishounen Nintendo protag into a girl.




sigh

Replace TLoZ for Fire Emblem and it's still accurate

This is exactly what we got when the government is too busy stabbing each other.

Honestly, it would be better if it was actually cancelled
Brazil does not have the money to invest in such thing and neither did it have for the last FIFA World Cup
It also doesn't help that the country is a political mess right now and the only politician at the top not involved in a corruption scheme was "suspended"

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

I'm doomed.

My family and I work with foreign exchange students during the summer and every year we find host families for them.

We were doing pretty good with only two more to find, but things just kept going and going...

Now we have six to find because people kept canceling at the last minute and the interested people that we do find have awful homes (last one literally had **** on the walls and floor).

We need all those families by the 28th.

I have no idea how we can find them all by this point.

We may get fired and we may have to give money back to the company...

I have no idea how my family is going to get through this...

Just... pray. Wish me luck. Whatever. We need all the help we can get.

My condolences. I hope you and your family find a way to get through this.

 

[ChikoLad]

My counterpoint.

Wind Waker has way more Celtic influence in it's art style and art direction though.

Those cat eyes are also found in Celtic stuff.

I don't know how big Monolith Soft is, but over 100 of thier staff are working on Zelda BotW.

So I just learned that Hala was referred to as "a very strong Pokemon trainer" during the Treehouse presentation, and now there are theories going around what kind of trainer he could be. Some speculate Gym Leader, others think Elite Four, and some even think he could be the champion. What do you all think? What kind of trainer do you think he'll be?

**** this game just **** it
Whoever thought Inevitable End Staff Savant Maids were a good idea can go burn in the deepest depths of hell
Gonna grind on Museum Melee for Rescue staffs, Gold Bars from Profiteer, reclass Shura back to Adventurer and give him an Eternal Seal so he can get Pass and just cheese this ****
Good thing my avatar is a Witch because she'll need that Warp

Yeah, Endgame is a hellish map, it honestly gave me Thracia flashbacks for how cruel it can be getting to the boss (though said boss is not as much of a pushover). It honestly impresses me that some were able to pull off beating that map normally rather then one-turning it since the maids will neuter any of your good attackers.

If you have a Warp Avatar though, one thing you could do is Rescue chain someone bulky to the bottom (if you have the Chapter 24 Falco Knights, they work well for that), have them move closer to the boss, then Warp the Avatar to the boss and hopefully get that ORKO.

[Bananija]

I raise my arms in the air in hope to give my power to @Swampasaur in hope things get better for him.

And the Olympics being cancel is actually a good thing. Like Zoroarking said, it's really bad economically for Brazil (or any other country where it's hosted for that matter). Millions are spend for a evenement that is only a few weeks long to then create ghost towns and sport infrastructures that will be barely used again. And that's without mentionning all the pollution and human trafic done during those kind of events.

Well we've never gotten hard numbers but Monolith has been doing grunt work for a ton of Nintendo projects since they were picked up. They've helped with LoZSS, ACCF and NL, MK8, and SSB4 off the top of my head.

Of course since they've been pretty clear that they're going to make a sequel to Xeno X they're probably going to resuse a ton of stuff too.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Well this is interesting. In the Japanese version of SA1 you can get into Casinopolis as Amy, level's fully playable too but it crashes after the results screen.

SMH comment threads on Nintendo Tweets are nasty, I don't know why I keep reading them.

Nintendo made a Tweet about YW2 an hour ago and half the comments are dissing it like they're a bunch of five year old boys who think Yokai Watch is a girl with cooties.

. . .There was ONE Tweet I liked this time around, although mostly because I'm just glad someone's finally pelting the comment threads with requests for a game I'm interested in rather than just Mother 3.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

10/10 best off-topic request. Truly a hot spring in the comment thread Underworld.

Yes I'm the one who liked it.

 

[Wolfie557]

What. That character in Attack of Titans died already? :@

Well didn't like it much anyway...

 

[Z25]

NYEH HEH HEH, THIS IS THE BEST VICTORY I'VE SEEN IN YEARS.



Several fans that I've seen and talked to agree that the anime never did the manga any justice and it's much better in manga format. You'll be in for a surprise once you start reading the more serious arcs after the rocky beginning.

There are few for the companies like Sega, Atari, Enix, Square, Namco, Konami, and Capcom. But Nintendo has the largest because they are naturally the bad guys (Kirby, Mother, Metroid, Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, etc).

With pleasure. I'll invite you.

I'll have to check out that manga then. And thanks!

I wish you luck. It may certainly be hard to do this, but I hope and I'm sure your family can do it! Good luck!

A retired member of either of those makes sense. But I want him to be the champion. The one who started your journey and runs your new village stands before you as your final challenge to becoming champion! Show him all you've learned on your quest!

It be pretty cool.

I've heard about the Rescue chains but how exactly is it supposed to work in this map? I know it's basically: send Staff bot down, rescue Azura, Sing and then what? Rescue has only 10 range iirc, not enough to rescue a second time after going down even more
In the case of using Warp, what setup should I use?(pretty sure she can ORKO the boss by herself with the right Pair Up and Lighting if she crits or procs Dragon Fang)

I really need to get around to watching the Nintendo Treehouse footage of Zelda & Pokémon.

I've seen the trailers, but I know that's not enough for me.

 

[Frostwraith]

Every Toon Zelda game would like to have a word with you.

Even those have an art style reminiscent of the common Japanese "super-deformed" style a lot of mascots over there have.

Google "chibi" on images and you'll see plenty of similar art styles to Wind Waker.

Nendoroid figures pretty much embody that concept too.

People bashing on Color Splash give me cancer. They need to accept different things, look at Paper Mario, then look at Zelda, then back at Paper Mario. Both series are straying from the concepts of their first episodes, and while it's totally okay for Breath of the Wild like it's the messiah, nah, Color Splash is the devil's outlet.

I was gonna elaborate below, but my English's so bad, I can't manage it.

 

[Fenriraga]

Arlo is perfect once again:

Imma just copy paste what I wrote there.

Comparing Paper Mario to Mario & Luigi is like comparing a Yoshi Platformer to a Donkey Kong Country platformer. Yeah, they're the same genre, but they are FAR from being at a point where they clash interests with each other and nullify each other. This is not an excuse.

It's Paper Mario. I never like it anyway.

Not all changes are positive. Color Splash looks worse imo.

I'd go on about how the New Zelda has the spirit of the originals which the new Paper Mario lacks but a more concise point is, this new Paper Mario looks to play exactly the same as the previous one which got a poor reception so the "different so it sucks" argument falls apart there,

It's not that people aren't accepted new things. It's that it's doing the same stuff the last game did, and people HATED what they did in the last game.

I never quite understood the fascination people have with this game outside of an "What could've been". It certainly doesn't look like it would've been any good.

Sonic X-Treme has always been fascinating to me. I'm not sure if it would have ended up being good, but I love hearing new stories about its development troubles.

If there's one thing from X-Treme I want to see in a new Sonic game, it's this theme.

One of the most underrated Sonic tracks in my opinion.

 

[Fenriraga]

Oh it looks like it was gonna be HORRIBLE. :V

I think it really is more of the "what could have been" aspect since Sonic never really got a proper Saturn title.

I looked through #Nintendo on Twitter and saw a link to an article about Breath of the Wild letting you be vegan. Out of curiosity I decided to click on it to see what the comments might be. . .

That's really great!!
As a vegan myself, when I saw the trailer I was worried I'd have to hunt for being able to play the game. That'd be really uncomfortable.
So it's great if you really can regain the same amount of health with mushrooms and apples. I'd still be better if you couldn't hunt any animal, but it's nice that Nintendo gives at least the option of not having to hunt for survival.

THANK GOODNESS!
That's what I wanted to hear!!

I'd prefer if Link was completely vegan but the meatheads would be dissapointed

It's nice that they're happy, but I had concerns about the possibility of people not being pleased unless Link could ONLY be vegan, and while they partially avoid that both comments make a point to mention that they'd be happier with no meat eating at all that makes me concerned that sentiments could blossom into the kind of reaction I was worried about.

Also . . .meatheads?
