Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Soul.]

September sounds reasonable for NX reveal, yeah. They can't keep waiting any longer.

Also, Nintendo's First Quarter Earnings Release is scheduled for July 27th. Yay for sales.

I'm actually watching Alax's Smash stage video about Kirby stages and judging by how screwed up Fountain of Dreams was with Framerate issues and reflection problems make me think that this stage probably wouldn't work in Smash 4 due to 8-Player Smash and 3DS in general due to all the slow down


Or I'm think Sakurai's team wanted Dreamland 64 more

"Smash has too many wrench-users."

You know damn well somebody is going to say that if Andy gets in lol.

Champ Gold

Would like to have your input as well on the article seeing as you're also an AW fan.

Considering they removed the mirror on the Wii Fit Stage for 8-player Smash and it's general absence on the 3DS version (Although I suppose you can chalk that up to the whole home console games on Wii U version and handheld games on 3DS version thing they had going).

I suppose that's a fair assumption of why they probably didn't bring it back.... Other than the fact that they where generally looking through the Smash 64 stages for DLC besides Pirate Ship.

I highly doubt Fountain of Dreams would be that intensive if they just kept it as-is, like most of the returning stages.

The reflection thing MIGHT cause frame rate issues in 8-Player Smash but I doubt it would be enough to warrant not considering it. Suzaku Castle already has frame rate issues in 8-Player Smash anyway. Nothing too big but it's there.

"Smash has too many wrench-users."

If Ratchet wasn't a Sony character, then he would be that other wrench user.

 

[ChikoLad]

Can anyone remember if stuff like Goombas and Bronto Burts had some sort of role in the Wii U version of Smash?

Beyond being a trophy that is.

Because if there wasn't, then I think I may have found some leftovers from the 3DS version.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

If Ratchet wasn't a Sony character, then he would be that other wrench user.

Wave the Swallow, Lucca, Roll Casket, Led Campbell, Cid, The Engineer, Heimerdinger, Max, Takashi Hanya, Yosuke, Pey'j', Kazooie, Wheeljack, and Tinker Knight.

 

[ChikoLad]

I found something pretty cool.

I'm doing a bit of research into the files of Master Fortress and it's enemies (like the Stalfos) because I'm interested in modding the Master Fortress.

I extracted the model for the Swarm Stalfos, and discovered that beneath the swarm effect of the Stalfos, there is a completely normal Stalfos model.

Here it is with the Swarm effects.

And this is without them.

So that's pretty cool. I'm thinking it might be possible to re-texture this Stalfos model, and then have it appear in the game as a normal Stalfos, with it's A.I still in tact.

I haven't checked yet, but I assume this would apply to the Plasma Wisp and the other flower enemies too.

 

[Chrono.]

Pretty nice breakdown on how the DKC series came to be.

 

[ChikoLad]

The other enemies from Master Fortress have a "Swarm-less" model too.

The Plasma Wisp is just hands though since the actual Plasma effect is an animated texture effect. And he has no eyes in this version.

This writing is so baaaaaaaaaad and the voice acting isnt any better.

From beginning to end whenever someone is opening their mouth they are either spewing bull**** or they sound like a robot (which is sometimes from the writing and sometimes from the voice acting)


The entire scene where adam shoots samus is so silly in pretty much every regard. (Closest thing you had to a father? **** the Chizo am i right?)

Also they just made a big deal of defating Ridley.
"As big of a threat as the Metroid"
Is used as an excuse for Adam's sacrifice

I dont get to fight him again. ****ing whyyyyyyyyy

Also why the **** did Samus not ise the gravity feature against Nightmare? The guy creating Grabitational pull?


AND WHY THE **** IS MY SUIT NOT PURPLE. I LOVE THAT COLOR OF ARMOR WHY AM I STILL ORANGE?

 

[Ura]

Once again about my article I just want to thank the Source Gaming guys for letting me be featured on their site and especially Nantendo for giving me a lot of input and ideas for the article. Really appreciate it!

Because Sakamoto said so...

Also Sector Zero a 'place like Tourian' full of Metroids and "MB"...

Do we go there? Nope

Another fight with Ridley? Nope instead have Nightmare again...

talk about a giant **** tease...

Also Adam shoots Samus to prevent her from killing Metroids that 'may or may not be' vulnerable to ice... right before Samus was about to kill a metroid that 'may or may not be' vulnerable to ice...and ends up killing this metroid that once again 'may or may not be' vulnerable to ice...with ice right after...even though he wasn't sure that it was in fact vulnerable to ice...also why does Samus take ten years to recover from one ice shot, as if she hadn't taken any significantly powerful blasts of ice before?...oh yeah plot convenience...

Played some Rio Olympic games, Had a laugh riffing at how it's alright for a robot with a damn jet engine in it's back in a race, especially when he uses it. Also you can walk up to the goalie in football, what the **** kind of football are the devs playing?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Just beat the Queen Metroid.


WOW that is some trash game design.

For those of you who dont know, you jump down the Queen Metroid's throat and wind up in her stomach after a biss fight. You take a lot of damage per second while in there.

The problem? The only way to win is to use a power bomb. The second problem? There is literally no way to know to do that other than guessing. Every other power in the game is authorized before you can use it. It has an activation cutscene and everything. Power Bombs are teased to you for the entire game because you can charge them but not all the way. But there is no reason for you to believe that lock has been disengaged. No cutscene, no foreshadowing, no hinting.


Sure there aren't a lot of options while you are stuck in there, but chances are you might not even remember HOW to do a power bomb because the only time it is shown is the tutorial a minute into the game.



Just plain stupid game design.

You could do that in Strikers.
But it'd beat the crap out of you for doing it.

After about a dozen tries...I finally figured out I can use Power Bombs because I went to the start screen and just happened to notice that they were active...

'Huh I can use Power Bombs now? I almost forgot they were even in the game'

Another problem with this...its going off of how you battle the Queen Metroid in Metroid II...except for someone like me at the time of playing Other M, the only Metroid games I played were the Primes...but they don't exist in this canon so I guess I haven't played any...

Why are you playing this.

Welp. Looks like it's confirmed.

Why does every mod somehow make it worse

 

[A Distant Demon]

Why are you playing this.

Because based on the Metroid content in smash it must be the best one


I really like the idea behind the game (Metroid with a **** ton of action) but so many things (controls, story, etc. are executed so poorly)


And TBH, I wanted to play a Nintendo game and I just didn't want to play Advance Wars so this is what I came up with.

I take it you're playing Other M.
Congrats on beating the final boss. I hope it was a fun experience for you.

Yes I'm aware it's not the end but let's be honest it might as well be. Not like anything interesting happens.

After months of whining and boycotts, the developer of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE has finally gone on the record to say that they did the localization changes themselves to reach a wider audience while acknowledging that each culture has their own rules.

Shame that many will still reject the game because "censorship is evil" and Nintendo should go **** themselves for ruining another mature title. This probably won't come to an end for another three months. -_-

Wait, when since Tokyo Mirage Sessions was a mature title? Even as a fan, there is no way in hell that this game can compare to Bayonetta 2 or Devil's Third (even when unsecured). They must be still caught up on an outdated trailer (or the original teaser) if they expected the game to be mature.

Ignoring all the protesting anti-censorship ankle biters, I ma having a bloody good time with the game itself. Made it though enough sidequests and got a hefty amount of class changes already. It won't be long until I make it to everyone's favorite part of the game.

How much do the hyper Tumblr cultists effect sales anyway?

They whined about Fates, but that sold really well.

I don't think it's the tumblr cultists that are complaining about censorship, but the ones asking for censorship.

Either way, they effect the sales a lot.

Spoiler

Because they all buy the games anyway and add to the sales.

 

[Pazzo.]

I suppose it still is incredibly niche.

I'll eat something not normally consumed if TMS#FE sells more than 1 mil.

So that shareholder meeting is happening really soon (less than 20 minutes).

So, I'm on Chapter 15 of The Last Promise, which is the 5th chapter of the second part
But before I want to give my thoughts on the playable characters from the first part

Spoiler

No, he does not have an innate +4 Def boost, unfortunately
He's the main lord, at least for part 1, and he's our exposition man. And also a jerk, can't forget about that part.
He's technically a prepromote but his bases are nothing special, but his growths though, oh boy, they sure are.
Also, he is Knight Lord in case you can't tell his map sprite is literally Eliwood

This is the guy I thought was supposed to be the lord, but turns out he's just Xander's sword's son.
He is... something, there are so many Cavaliers(or pseudo ones because Blazer thinks just renaming it to Gallant will make me ignore its animations and stats) in this hack and he's actually the second worst so far.

This is Corben. He is loyal to Siegfired and Shon. I like him
He does everything better than Shon, his Res sucks ass tho, that's his base one, otherwise, he's your third best tank when there are no Horseslayers around(hint: there are a lot)

The first non-mounted unit you get... is a healer. Staves give more exp on this hack for whatever reason so she'll be hitting Lv20 very soon, and by soon I mean those are her stats by Chapter 10, she joins back again on Chapter 14... and she's already promoted by 15 in my file. The least prone to getting RNG screwed

Strong, tanky and fast, this one is basically a Raven you get at Chapter 3.
He kicks ass, that's about it, there isn't much elss

*sigh* things like this are why I always bench Pegasus Knights and end up with a Wyvern Lord as a my only flying unit

KEVIN HYPE BOIS!
This guy, this ****ing guy has got to be my favorite character in the entire game.
His base Def allows him to completely tank most enemies for the entirety of part 1 with the exception of certain enemies and axes.
He joins Siegfried just because, surprise surprise, everyone in the Evil Empire is a selfish jerk(excluding the billions of sympathetic bosses that are kinda getting old by now, Howard just screams "CAMUS ALERT") and really doesn't seem to care if he dies or not(I imagine him just sighing in disappointment everytime the "No damage" sound plays).
On Chapter 15, he has capped Def and nothing in said map can even scratch him. And did I mention he can double Mercenaries?

Not a hero of justice/10. His purpose is to be a magic tank in the chapter he joins, not that it matters when said mages are dealing 4 damage to your Knight. There are also, like, 3 chapters with Mages, all of which you can kill said Mages before they are a threat to your other units

He's a Thief that can actually fight, like, actually deal some damage
He also has an innate 15 crit bonus because clearly a Killing Edge isn't enough to proc Lethality as an Assassin

This girl just shows up and says "I wanna rebel" "k, just take this Angelic Robe tho, your base HP sucks"
After that, she's been killing stuff regularly
I don't eesn have a reason to like her, I just love Mages, and the female ones even more because they don't have a stupid hat.
And have you seen how cute the Mages are in the GBA games? I still can't believe this was the one design Fates ****ed up

There are also two Nomads I don't care about because I'm not going to feed Blazer's Nomad fetish
Seriously, you get two Nomads(one a prepromote) before a proper Archer

GameXplain brought up the Sonic movie in the recent Sonic discussion.

Honestly, I want this movie to be like TMNT: Outside of the Shadows. Probably not something as stupid, but make it a lot of fun.

Hey... uh ... quick question for you guys. Do any of you know the title of the Tales of Symphonia song that was featured in the Mii Fighter costume trailer with Lloyd?
