Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Deleted member]

I'd blame this site's censorship for that.

It makes out the word as dirtier than it should.

I've spent enough time in the Shulk social thread to know that this is the same site that censored the name Dickson (as in the Xenoblade character). Well, it used to anyway.

REPRINT THE NENDOROID PLEASE

For some reason, I've imagined Tiki speaking with Palpatine's voice.

Oh God...

It's pure Nightmare Fuel, isn't it?

Or is it hilarity incarnate.

The US Anniversary Party is in San Diego.

Sonic & Eggman mentioned it too in the Twitter take over yesterday.

Looks like that's definitely our reveal date.

But god damn, no new game until 2017.

2017 Sonic Project Start!

 

[Substitution]

So this is going to be fun.
We had our first major Sonic bomb in a while. Will they learn from it? Or continue to flail about?
(Ten fictional bucks says it's the latter.)

 

[ChikoLad]

You can buy some of the merchandise they showed on the SEGA Japan Online Store.

They probably don't ship abroad but if you have Tenso or something maybe that could work.

It's hard to say without the full context but the "start" they used is more like 'gearing up.'

So I guess more information soon? If someone can send me a link to the stream I can check it after my classes (about 3 hours from now).

Here's my views on third parties:

,,,: These guys are arguably the most iconic characters of gaming (especially Mega Man and Pac Man); if they removed any of them, it'd be a slap to the face for fans.

: Currently my main, the amount of hype (and salt for me at first) that Cloud generated upon his announcement showed how shocked and happy people were to see him come into Smash Bros. To be entirely honest, Square Enix and Nintendo's relationship are improving anyway, so I doubt we'll see this guy go anytime soon if things go as the way they are.

: Yeah.... about Bayonetta; I honestly am uncertain about what her fate would be. Yes, the fact that she was the ballot winner (despite the fact I don't agree upon this, but that's just my view) seems to make her safe from being cut. If she were removed, it would generate a lot of anger from fans of her and would not bring a good image on the series. I'm honestly 50-50 overall; if she gets cut, then I am sorry for her fans, but if she stays, I guess I'm cool with that as long as the roster expands with more characters later on.

You can't really use being iconic as your only argument seeing how Snake got cut, unless you want to try and argue that Snake's not that iconic.

 

[N3ON]

Literally this. Kamiya even said Sakurai could have Bayo when ever he wanted for smash if he asked. It took almost nothing to get her. She's a lock.

If ease of use were the only contingent in bringing back a character we'd have three Links and three Landmasters right now. Tbh I don't know if Sakurai is going to bother bringing back all the 3rd party DLC. I wouldn't be surprised if only some/none of it came back simply because he didn't try to reclaim it, and that's coming from someone who really loves Cloud.

To me, and I could be way off base here, but to me it seems like he didn't even try to get Snake back until the ballot.

But if we're just talking about the port, yeah, I don't see why anyone would get cut. I'm sure provisions were made in procuring all the characters for future iterations of the same game, especially with the DLC.

This is some amazing news.

Resident Evil is not a series with Nintendo ties.

Capcom must see real promise in the system.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely nice to see support with a big title like RE7, but personally I think the series has a lot of ties, just not a lot of crossovers. iirc every main RE title before 5 found its way on to a Nintendo system at some point, and they've got a fair few Nintendo exclusive (or once-exclusive) spin-offs.

When we start getting major IPs from the likes of Square, Rockstar or Bethesda, that's when I believe we've got something special. The rest of the big names do support Nintendo pretty much every gen, even if with inconsistent output.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm hoping that FFXV rumor is true.

Remake please.

 

[powerprotoman]

so from what i can gather its been long enough for them since sonic 25th was done for them to start working on a new game for next year

 

[Yellowlord]

You can't really use being iconic as your only argument seeing how Snake got cut, unless you want to try and argue that Snake's not that iconic.

I mean, when it comes to Snake, he is also a iconic character in his own way. However, Konami is really preventing him from getting into the game due to their major issues (if Kojima got the rights to Snake and basically saved him from Konami, then it should be a lot easier to get him back in).

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Yeah, I guess we aren't getting a new Sonic game this year.

A real shame.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

It'd be cool if we get Resident Evil 2 remake on NX.

Then Resident Evil content in the next Smash.

 

[MainJPW]

Yeah, I guess we aren't getting a new Sonic game this year.

A real shame.

As far as I'm concerned that's a positive thing, it's a Breath of the Wild situation. As long as they can make this a good game they can take all the time they need, the Sonic series needs this.

 

[ChikoLad]

Yeah, I guess we aren't getting a new Sonic game this year.

Well we're getting Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice which actually looks pretty great so it's not like we're getting nothing at all.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Im glad they arent rushing for the anniversary year

Sonic generation could of used some extra time in the oven. We could have gotten a better final boss

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Anyone heard the rumor that Nintendo is going to use "cartridges" for the NX?

Probably SD-like cartriges

Apparently someone was looking through Nintendo's copyrights, and found "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" copyrighted for the wii u-esque disks...But also in another format. Presumably the copyright for the NX type of cartridges

Indeed.

The news has been out for a couple days.

With Resident Evil VII having a similar copyright, it looks pretty darn likely.

Perfect! Not sure if you guys saw the Twitter (literally had a minute in between class so I couldn't post here too), but yes they will announce more details next month in San Diego. Japanese users will be able to watch the stream via Twitch.

So yeah, it's more "gearing up" than "start". He also apologized for the delay but said to enjoy Mario and Sonic at the Olympics this year.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

This is a pretty nice discussion. Of course, knowing how things went the last time around, I wouldn't be remotely surprised should almost every single hypothetical Smash 4 NX addition be characters that weren't even remotely taken into account by people as notable candidates with the exception of maybe like two characters people actually commonly predicted (and of course the consequent exclusion of nearly all the characters deemed likely that would result.)

Hah, I was literally about to post that here. Part 2 goes over the #2/#1 and the honorable mentions...and clocks in at 45 minutes. It'll be uploaded tomorrow.

All the sources that I referenced are listed on SG.

Today, SourceCast #16 will be added. It features @RelaxAlax and Artsy Omni. We discuss creating content. our history and some of the challenges around it.

In case people missed it, here's all of the answers Sonic & Eggman gave at the Sonic Twitter Takeover yesterday.

If it's on NX then those amiibo mock-ups I came up with could become real after all.

Just short of being older than me by a year.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Just purchased Indie Game Battle from the Steam Summer Sale.

When it finishes installing, I'll find out how good/bad a Supper Smesh Broth clone it is.

I was 2 years old when that movie came out


I think 4 when I had the VHS tape

 

[Wolfie557]

It's really hard to "respect" people who want others to not have fun.

Just to be clear, I don't actually have any desire for any cuts.

It's just people seem to assume I do whenever I say I wouldn't mind certain cuts ect. If they add a new FE it would make sense if one gets cut, likewise, it would make sense if Lucina/Roy don't get cut. - although the Smash Fanbase will complain about FE having too many characters yet again. (not everyone but in general)

I don't see cuts as necessarily being a BAD thing. In the bigger picture they could be completely understandable and I'd be fine with that. See: Ice Climbers, Young Link, Pichu ect.

Of course, I see why people who play a certain character with a risk of getting cut would get hurt if the worst does indeed happen.

.........on the other hand I believe certain cut characters should never be brought back but that's just a IMO.

The only way Smash will get a reboot with less characters is if Sakurai stops being the director. Until then, he's going to keep adding and adding until he exhausts himself out completely.

The game is never going to be balanced for pure 1 v1 play as long as Sakurai is in charge. Sakurai tries to balance across a wide variety of playstyles, modes and amount of characters. That's his vision for Smash.

I completely agree with his vision and hope whenever someone replaces him, he/she would share a similar vision.
100% balance or very close to it wouldn't make the game as fun as it would be otherwise.

New Sonic game missing the Anniversary?

Hey, I'd buy it.

Both figuratively and potentially literally.

 

[ChikoLad]

Depending on how the NX is and if I can afford it, and depending on stuff like the general performance of the NX version of the potential new Sonic game and exclusive features it could have, I will probably get the NX version of the new Sonic game if it has it too. Though a Collector's Edition is also gonna be a factor. If the PS4 and Xbox One versions have Collector's Editions and the NX version doesn't then I'm getting the PS4 version most likely.

I would also most likely get the PC version if it has one, for inevitable mods.

 

[Wario Bros.]

CEO is live now if you're curious

 

[ChikoLad]

I want to actually play a Sonic game for the weekend of Sonic's 25th, but I'm not sure what.

What do you guys think I should play out of these games?

-Sonic 1/Sonic 2/Sonic CD (Taxman Android remakes, via Bluestacks on PC with a controller)
-Sonic 3 & Knuckles (via SEGA Mega Drive Collection on Steam)
-Sonic Adventure DX (either the 2003 PC port or the Steam version)
-Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (Steam or GameCube)
-Sonic Heroes (old PC port or GameCube)
-Sonic Colours (Wii)
-Sonic Generations (Steam)
