Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Naoshi]

It has gone full circle that Ubisoft's survey was bugged when you think about it. lol

As would say the Heavy : "Not a big surprise!"

Did anyone doubt it?

This is the first time a Nintendo game has actually won Best of Show. Their other wins were just their systems like Gamecube, Wii and 3DS.

 

[ChikoLad]

Mario Wiki somehow managed to get an interview with Rosalina's current voice actress, Laura Faye Smith.

http://www.mariowiki.com/The_'Shroom:Issue_111/Laura_Faye_Smith_Interview

This part put a big, dumb smile on my face. She hit the nail on the head.

What do you like the most about Rosalina? Have you put elements of your personality into your portrayal of her?
LFS: I love her backstory--how she is such a powerful character, but also has a lot of kindness and a motherly side towards the Lumas. I also like that her personality is colored by the sadness of missing her mother, but she's found a way to create a new family and overcome that sadness and still be strong and caring. I think it makes her interesting and complex! She feels like a grounded character to me, and I'm a pretty grounded person who likes to make the best of things, even when things are sad or frustrating, so I feel like we have that in common.

I hope Nintendo keeps her around.

 

[ElectroLightning]

Is any excited for the new and final Splatfest? Anyone? Sigh.... I'm alone.

 

[Naoshi]

Is any excited for the new and final Splatfest? Anyone? Sigh.... I'm alone.

I'm definitely in. Don't know what team to pick though. I would've gone Team Callie right away but she dissed Pokemon Blue!

Also I saw Bill Trinen joining in on the fun, I think he's Team Callie.

 

[ChikoLad]

Is any excited for the new and final Splatfest? Anyone? Sigh.... I'm alone.

I haven't even bought Splatoon yet.

I keep putting it off, I meant to buy it a long time ago, especially since it actually goes for pretty cheap where I live, brand new. Though there's less reason to buy it now that Splatfests are finishing, since they pretty much made the multiplayer as exciting and unique as it was.

If it gets an NX port/sequel I'll definitely jump on that, though.

I am, been meaning to get back into Splatoon for a while.

Splatoon is still worth getting even without the Splatfest IMO. The multiplayer is still pretty unique, although can be rage inducing in Ranked.


Though I really do wonder how are we going to get Sea Snails for Spyke after this? Since they're only obtainable when you take part in Splatfests...

 

[Chrono.]

Splatoon barely works for me.

Let's just say I'm #TeamCallie and be done with it.

 

[ElectroLightning]

Don't ever side with that disabled, spineless (insert curse word here).

I'm afraid it won't get one. Nintendo is awfully unpredictable.

 

[ChikoLad]

For me personally, I don't enjoy playing online games that much unless I have at least one friend dedicated to the game as I am to play with, or there are stuff like Splatfests to give me more motivation.

And I really don't want to buy anything else right now aside from Sonic Unleashed because I'm going to Summer of Sonic in a month and I want as much spending money as possible for then.

 

[Naoshi]

I think a sequel is inevitable. A port is 50/50 IMO

Fair enough. Enjoy the Sonics!!

(I cannot wait to see what's the new Sonic game in July 22nd)

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Even though it's been a while, does anyone at least find the new IP Ever Oasis interesting?

For me, the game looks ok (even if this type of style is seen all over the 3DS). I like the simulation aspects of it along with the main exploration of the game. But the lack of multiplayer makes me wonder "Why?". You have this very interesting game that multiple people can play and it's only single player with you switching between party members? It makes you wonder if Nintendo really wanted this to be like classic RPG's.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I finished up the Steam Summer Sale about two days ago by buying Borderlands 2.

Here's hoping I don't regret playing the sequel before the first game.

Spoiler: Technical gore but its so fake old Mortal Kombat seems worse.

So here's a neat little indy game I found.

Terrordrome.

It's a series where old horror icons duke it out in an old fighting game style battle.

Here are some questions.

1. Does it catch your attention?
2. Do you like the characters they picked?
3. Any you know?
4. Any you don't but are intrigued by?
5. Think of any characters that would be neat to add?
6. Any of those female? Seriously I can't think of one aside from Japanese horror movies and maybe Mama.

I've seen this game in action a couple times before.

I might be among the few if not the only person here who even knows who Pumpkinhead is. The movie he originates from had some success but is mostly remembered as a cult film. It definitely has good Horror elements, albeit with a few common Slasher tropes, but the best part about it is arguably the story. Not an element that many Horror movies get praise for anymore.

 

[Wario Bros.]

So Xbox is having a big summer sale.

One game that catches my attention is Batman: Arkham Knight (with all DLC) for $25. Should I go for it?

 

[Bananija]

This is the first time a Nintendo game has actually won Best of Show. Their other wins were just their systems like Gamecube, Wii and 3DS.

I'm not saying it's not great or incredible. I'm just saying it isn't that surprising when you take in account the following :

• The game looks incredible.
• Spoiler: It's almost doubling the second most talked game in term of "hype"

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

How would you feel if Smash did a similar thing to Spaltfest?
A Smashfest, if you will.

 

[Coricus]

Don't ever side with that disabled, spineless (insert curse word here).

I'm afraid it won't get one. Nintendo is awfully unpredictable.

I'm afraid it won't get a port because of what I CAN predict off of what they're doing.

They said they didn't add touch controls to Breath of the Wild because they wanted the controls to be the same between the Wii U and NX versions. With that in mind, most of the games people claim will be ported just aren't going to work due to the lack of a Gamepad on the NX, including Splatoon.

And Smash would at the very least have to have screenshot drawing, custom stages, and the Miiverse stage gutted in order for it to work, so after hearing that news I'm not really expecting a port of that, either.

I suppose on a teeny tiny silver lining I guess that means they're in a position to start work on full sequels for both a little sooner. Due to the way Splatoon was talked about and the "results may be used for future games" comment on the Smash Ballot they've definitely got sequels for both in the back of their minds over at Nintendo.

 

[ElectroLightning]

A Smashfest, if you will.

That would be, interesting.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Isnt that just Conquest byt less ****ty?

 

[Chrono.]

For 25 bucks I'd say yeah, go for it.

 

[Coricus]

Isn't that basica-

Isnt that just Conquest byt less ****ty?

. . .Well I may as well quote being Greninja'd rather than catching it after the fact.

But yeah, basically if they actually hyped up Conquests and removed the daily point cap that'd probably be about in the ballpark of a Splatfest. Well, that and throw in some random themes made to advertise non video game IPs, but that wouldn't be nearly as ideal for a volatile and deeply impressionable fandom like Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

So yeah, hacking FE is very easy, at least for basic stuff like bases and growths(which is what I wanted to change the most)
I want to try changing palettes next without ****ing up, let's see how it'll go

Spoiler

Here are Roy's new bases

Just the Spd he needs to double the Fighters in the prologue alongside some buffs here and there
His Con was boosted so he can wield Steel Swords better
And I wanted to use Marcus, so I made him useful

And by useful I mean nerfing his bases but boosting his growths, probably gonna nerf them a little more, his skill and Def are still kinda high
And speaking of Def, it would be boring to just balance characters seriously, no, I have to go crazy so Wolt was born

#NoRegrets

I also changed Wendy's and Lugh's bases and growths(with Lugh's based on Nino's and Jaffar's combined growths)
And also boosted Dieck's Con
Because I can

 

[Chrono.]

Now here's a wild @AreJay25 in his habitat.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

It makes you wonder if Nintendo really wanted this to be like classic RPG's.

To this day, I still can't seem to find anything enjoyable about Ever Oasis. Sure people are all aboard the hype train because "It's Animal Crossing meets Fantasy Life meets Zelda", but that won't be enough to really catch my interest. Yes, I get the fact that _Shiek think the game itself is better than Codename Steam (A game that actually /looks UNIQUE instead of being another anime-esque chibi RPG that we've seen many times on the 3DS) and I can respect his opinion. But the lack of multiplayer in addition to other minor issues (like little backstory or lore to the Oasis itself) is what's failing to keep my interest in the game.

 

[Chrono.]

Cutesy RPGs on the 3DS are what Ecchi RPGs are to the Vita.

It tells you something about Conquest that I got confused what you were talking about at first.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

True.

And I haven't been playing my Vita in a while. Yeah, the 3DS is seriously getting my utmost attention.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I wonder if I should get the Atlus Collab costume set for #FE

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

I wonder if I should get the Atlus Collab costume set for #FE

Unless you like dressing up Itsuki as Devil Survivor 2's Troll-kun or have Tsubasa be Rei, then I say go for it.

Just dressing him up as the best Devil Survivor protagonist adds more hilarity to the game for me.

I don't understand how you can not think of FE6 Marcus as useful. He's not as near-broken as he is in FE7, but he's more than useful enough in the early chapters of the game. Just because he's not super powerful, and he'll eventually be outclassed by your growth units, but that by no means makes him "not useful." He's essentially the "perfect" Jagen.

I meant "useful throughout the entire game", I should have worded it better
I don't want to end up having to bench him because if I'm bringing any Cavalier/Paladin to the Endgame, it's gotta be him

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Also, for the record, Roy can solo the entire prologue on NM:

He only needs one point of speed to double the fighters, and one point of strength on top of that to ORKO.

(and for the record, no one can double in the prologue except Marcus) Edit: Actually, I think Lance can double on NM. Last I played the chapter was on Hard Mode, so I got mixed up. :/

This person managed to have the same strength my Roy had at level 20 at level 6 at the beginning of the second chapter.

[ChikoLad]

Yo it's about to be that time

Yes I purchased the retail game AND the promo copy too.

I'll get the DLC sometime in the future.

Also apparently this demo isn't on the PS Store anymore, but luckily, I had downloaded it back in 2009 (I FEEL SO OLD).

Glad to see SEGA didn't forget.

I also just finished playing through NiD, still love it after all these years.

 

[Deleted member]

Yoshi's Island is not on the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the DKC trilogy which has been removed.

These games are all available on the Wii U eShop however.

Actually, the DKC games were put back up on the Wii Shop Channel as soon as they were released on the Wii U eShop, at least in North America.

Now I really want to get my copy of Journey of Dreams working. It freezes at the first boss of Helen's story.

Also, more NiGHTS goodness.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Never really played NiGHTS, but I've always had an appreciation and respect for the franchise.
Happy Birthday, NiGHTS.

There is a HD remaster on Xbox 360/PS3/Steam.

The Steam version frequently goes on sale so you can get it dirt cheap at the right times.
