Well this happened...
I have to say, that voice really struck the uncanny valley for me. His voice has obviously changed in the last 15 years, or they didn't modify it right, but it sounds very odd to me.

Even the title scream was really off-putting.

And now we return to your daily dose of Bleach fanbase denial.

https://www.change.org/p/shonen-jump-stop-the-canceling-of-the-bleach-manga

Just face it, Kubo was already given a chance more than enough times and the magazine editors had enough of him. Accept that Bleach is going to end and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Stories are better when they don't just drag on forever

and unfortunately my problem with manga is that instead of having set stories with plots, etc. they just drag everything out as long as possible

Which is the reason why I gave up on One Piece.

Almost everything about the timeskip was disappointing. It's sad because the first half of OP was almost perfect.

Well you can look at them here briefly.

Hype that they're bringing back all the cut characters like YLink and Pichu. All the other additions look neat as well.

Melee announcer sounds a lot different though. He doesn't have the same epicness that he used to have but it's fine really. Looking forward to playing this game when it comes out.

This has got to be the greatest thing I've seen ever.

It's literally how most Sonic reviews are.

Which is mostly ****** Nintendo fans

Wait dual release might be a main stay? **** that noise. It means characters get less focus and the stories get less focus
On one side, I'm not a fan since it means being more expensive altogether, especially since a third game tends to be next to inevitable with dual releases. On the other side, it's not necessarily bad if it means more FE games like Conquest, where the gameplay and difficulty is pretty good. And if IS takes a hint from people's views on Birthright and Conquest, there's always the possibility that the next games will try to add some of the other's flair to themselves.
Like if the story-focused one still got more variety in maps and goals like Conquest and if the gameplay-focused one's story became more straightforward like Birthright. Also, 2 paths doesn't necessarily mean a Birthright/Conquest scenario with choosing one side to go against another each time, if Sacred Stones is anything to note by.
But all in all, I'll see what happens, but at the same time, I do hope they keep in some features that I feel Fates did right, like making almost all classes gender-neutral, keeping and balancing Hidden weapons, My Castle, multiplayer and online, A+ ranks, etc. Despite all the flack Fates gets for fanservice and censorship, I really liked most of the other things Fates added.

Did it ever happen to you to hear repetitively the same word in your head for no reason?

For me, as for today, it was "Leprechaun".

For some reason...

Seeing that Japan is a US Ally, I guess they're being similarly skeptical as China or Arab countries. Eh.
Although why specifically target Pokémon GO? Pokémon has been aired in Russia for a long time now, with their own logo, to boot.


I'm pretty sure the govt. is just skeptical if it can be used to spy on people. Calling it Satanic is just a way to get people on board.

I would question whether a good chunk of the Nintendo fans saying trash about Sonic are stuck in the 90's, but considering some of the biggest requests for Smash are K. Rool, Ridley, and Geno, characters from various games released at the height of the console wars, I think I already know the answer.

Not that Sonic gets any better treatment from the masculinity-obsessed nextgen community, but then again since I'm not touching that video with a ten foot pole on account of the utter minefield of triggers anything discussing media reception of Sonic is for me I don't know the exact issues people are taking.

And the "Sonic can never be good" sentiment floating around does suspiciously match Cranky Kong's classification of Sonic as a no-hoper, so I wouldn't put it past the nastier members of the DKC community that have reputations of insulting Smash character support bases that aren't for K. Rool or whoever to utterly take it at face value and use it as a moral compass.

You do realise.
That Sonic got into Brawl because of his massive requests.
Right?

I'd say Go is the target as it brought the franchise back to major fame, not just in one place, but the whole world. So maybe they find it suspicious I guess.

Go is all over the news so it makes sense to signal it out.

I remember now that you mentioned it, but it's easy to forget amidst the sea of negativity.

When I started observing Sonic in the New Tens he was an utter punching bag and every Sonic forum I came across was eating itself alive with hatred at what he had become (keep in mind this was BEFORE Lost World and Boom were announced), so wherever these people are they must be either hiding on Deviantart/ Fanfiction.net/ some magical actually polite fan community I haven't found or they've just bailed from the internet since 2008.

Thank goodness he's in for high requests, though. That combined with SEGA's rapidly increasing willingness to put him everywhere nowdays bodes well for him continuing to stay, despite the hate he gets from a lot of people.

And most of the people who outright want him cut ARE the people who just hate the entire concept of third party characters in general and feel like it "ruins" Smash because "purity" or whatever, so I guess people are at least a little more tolerant of him as a character than the constant trashing would imply.

The issue is that after SEGA went under enough to have to withdraw from making consoles, they went into a mostly shakey grounds of what to do with their IPs that didn't /really/ balance back out until around 2008.

8 years of, almost unanimously, medicore-to-bad games soured a lot of people, is what really flared up the "Sonic cycle"

Who knows? :3
That feeling when you're probably the only person that does not have Pokemon Go and you feel lazy to the point where you don't want to get it. >_<

I guess I just haven't had enough interest to go after the game, really.

I don't have it either.

I used to have it, but I got tired of server and GPS issues and eventually lost interest. :ohwell:

And then when he actually starts making great games again he never gets to live it down. :urg:

Having an untested company take their IP for a drive recently certainly didn't help.

I really hate how Sonic's friends end up getting scapegoated for why everything went wrong, though. The truth is that SEGA just has a thing for being overly experimental and just tended to hoist the alternate playstyles onto the various secondary characters until people begged for Solo Sonica enough that they just decided to get rid of everyone and stick the alternate playstyles on Sonic himself instead.

Although I've heard that the Advance games were actually good, so maybe it isn't nearly unanimous so much as no one ever thinks of handhelds with anything? . . .I should try those games at some point.

Things the NX hasn't been rumored to be yet:
- A toaster
Actually I've seen rumours about that
Yeah, toaster is actually kind of a default Nintendo appliance rumor.

You know what the NX hasn't been rumored to be yet?

A fridge.

Those have more tech that goes into them than toasters, anyway.

You could play Mario Maker on the input screen and then select the option to have ice or water deposited into your cup from the pause menu.

You could even have custom ice trays that make the ice cubes into the shape of various little symbols from Nintendo games. The Mario tray, the Zelda tray, the Smash tray, the Animal Crossing tray.

You can have a little frozen Nintendo world in your glass while you play your Nintendo.
 

Pazzo.

OH MY GOSH.

I looked at one of the NeoGaf NX threads and this article was in there.

https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/07/12/nvidia-super-smash-bros/

The company that's rumored to be making the NX chip has a group full of massive Melee fanboys.

That's. . .I just needed to pass that along to here.
Imagine if the 20XX plants in Nvidia got the company to sell X2 chips at a loss to Nintendo.

Probably not the case, but I can imagine the reactions internally.
