Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

Sweet Baby Jesus it is beutiful.

Super Metroid Boxart Ridley is there too.




Also there are references to fusion suit, dark suit, light suit, and the GOAT, gravity suit as well. So that's cool.

Got the baby Metroid pet which is the only good thing in the second drop first try.

<3 all the RIdley love tho

Nintendo: 'Hey look this is what Ridley's alts would look like if he was in Smash!'

Fans: ...........

Also Baby Metroid pet?

I have to admit this actually gives Metroid more love than it has gotten in the past few years...

 

[Erureido]

Also.
Fate talk.

I /just/ finished the anime for Fate/Stay Night earlier today, have a bit of knowledge for other games... namely the various incarnations of Saber, and my first real dive in with be Estella in like 2 months.

It's fine. I still managed to cry at the end. But it's.... predictable for an action show, if nothing else. Also... some like just useless characters.

Also I kinda hate Shirou as a character.
ALSO GILGAMESH SOILS THE NAME OF A GREAT MAN BY JUST BEING A DAMN EDGELORD OC JUST LIKE ADAM IN RWBY EXCEPT HE'S THE DAMN FOCUS OF THE ENTIRE LAST LIKE FOURTH OF THE DAMN SHOW.

Yeah, UBW doesn't have the most likable version of Shirou. He is arguably at his most likable/most badass in the Heaven's Feel route. He still isn't one of my favorite characters though.

Spoiler: Heaven's Feel spoilers

He ends up ditching his "Hero of Justice" goals and realizes giving up the life of one for the favor of the many isn't the best idea.

That's one reason why I like Fate/Zero over the three Fate/Stay Night routes. It has lots of twists that makes it less predictable, not to mention it has a way better and more likable main protagonist.

 

[Kenith]

You know I was making fun of them before, but this is some legit Miitomo swag.

However, I'm not satisfied until they make a plush backpack in the exact same style as that Ridley.
You know you want it too.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

This turtle Pokemon is amazing. I'm going to have a team of 6.

Seriously though, it's inspired me to do a turtle/tortoise run in Sun/Moon eventually.

Blastoise
Torterra
Torkoal
Carricosta
Tortunator
Shuckle

Shuckle is a mold slime /
Pyura chilensis more than a turtle

I'd totally join y'all if I got the game.

But that money's for KOFXIV and, unfortunatlly, tuition.

Y-yay...

I would pick up FF but I'll wait for a price drop since I'm not looking into buying new games for a while since I got a new car and I'm gonna buy a new phone in the next month

Also saving up for Pokemon Sun and Gears 4

I mean, I legit want that Samus decoy bobblehead from Fed force...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Like the Kingdom Hearts III NX rumor that was recently debunked

GAH, I wish thats real, Why cant it be real

Professor Pumpkaboo

The galaxy is requesting assistance. Are you interested?

I would but it isn't my type of game, it isnt my cup of tea considering I dont like metrod

Also saving up for Moon and college

 

[Autumn ♫]

If they have a pack with a Samus amiibo with Federation Force, I'll consider getting it. My internet's really bad right now, but FF looks pretty fun, so I might end up getting it once I get better internet. I also just really need a Samus amiibo too. I kind of regret getting Zelda instead of her when I had the chance, since Zelda's super common.

 

[Chrono.]

Rev up those dislikes.

Spoiler

Even Japanese fans are pissed. Wow.

Or westerners found this video and disliked it but I sorta doubt it.

Nah the Japanese were actually pretty angry.

Why dislike the Flare trailer, that looks pretty awesome! I wonder what the writers think though.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I just spent time getting costumes for a game I will never play again lol. At least they look neat.

Also I have not left Al-Khampis in 3 days and have done nothing but CHompcraft.

Help.

So basically you're sending out a distress signal to join th-

I think you mean.

I feel like the pressure is on to finagle my way to getting the game tomorrow even if it means doing a lot of bull**** in a lot of time.
If it means fulfilling the prophecy of Brawl Metroid theme then I have to do it right? Right!?!
we'll see

I'm guessing they're thinking "Hey we shouldn't have had the guy who wrote Cameron vs Ash for this".

I mean.
It isn't gonna start tomorrow.
Swamp's waiting on reviews to tell if he's gonna bother getting it in the first place.

 

[Substitution]

What's that? Ash lost the Pokemon League? Again?
Like he does every region he has ever been in.

No kidding. It's almost as if they have to ship him off to a new region for exploiting purposes or something.

 

[A Distant Demon]

. . . oh right

Me being able to join you may be an actual reasonable outcome instead of a one-in-a-billion shot.

Of course there are still like 10 factors st work including my job schedule but the biggesr factor just got a little more lenient I guess.

 

[Chandeelure]

Looks like Greninja was nerfed too much to win the Pokemon League.


Did someone already made this joke?

 

[Chrono.]

Someone oughta call child services then.

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Ooh, If I were a Poketuber, I know exactly what my mascot would be...

Also, Turtonator is awesome. Naming mine "Arnie".

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I name all fire types pretty much the same thing, but I'll try and think up something unique

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Watching it now.

 

[Burruni]

...
Well sorry A Distant Demon
Didn't know we'd get reviews before release.

 

[Erureido]

Nah the Japanese were actually pretty angry.

Why dislike the Flare trailer, that looks pretty awesome! I wonder what the writers think though.

It's a good thing the main Team Flare arc trailer has its like/dislike bar disabled, because I can only imagine how many more dislikes that one would have compared to the new episode preview.

I too wish that video didn't have this much dislikes because it's a good preview for what's to come, but I think that's just the Pokemon community's way of trying to reach the writers about what they thought. I bet the writers might be looking at this and thinking, "This was inevitable. We could quote Ash's famous line to remind them there could be good things to come out of it, but let's just wait and see."

 

[Aetheri]

Ooh, If I were a Poketuber, I know exactly what my mascot would be...

Aanuld...

I'd actually name it 'Grinexx' in reference to ALBW's boss at Turtle Rock, since it's, well a fire turtle...Trinexx sounds cooler from ALttP but he doesn't have three heads sooo...

----

Anyway....Eclipse speculation...

Assuming you watched the video...who do you guys think this Eclipse Legendary will be? (whether it'll be called Marshadow or not is a different story)

I'm thinking it'll be a Scorpion, but we'll see....the explanations Lockstin has for a Dolphin are intriguing also...

 

[Substitution]

Watching it now.

Oh boy! Time to go to the comments section!

"Twelve minutes of Derrick being an apologist. This has no business carrying the Metroid moniker. I'm sure it's fine for a $5 eshop title or when Nintendo sends you a review copy for free, but seriously."

"Ah, here we go. A cup of fanboy tears. Oh, fries too? Odd combination, but okay. Hmm, the fries are missing something. Oh yes. Salt. Ah, that's better."

"first"


Yep. It's a Federation Force video all right!

Man. Ign, more like IGNorant am I right?
You know... For not giving the score I want? Right?

Man I suck at Internet fanboyism.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Personally, I don't think it need zombie to be scary or good.
It just need to be, well, scary. Not with cheap jumpscare or all that, it need to have atmosphere.
Because I tell you, if this game become Outlast 2.0. Then we will need more than Umbrella Army to stop the raging RE fanboy out there.

Nintendo outlets are giving it high scores.

Others aren't.

Interesting.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I just found out the park near my was supposed to have massive improvements done in the spring and the city spent $500,000 on it

IDK what happened but none of them got done. Or even started

I know that sometimes reviewers are paid to give better scores. That said, bias may exist on both fronts. The game looks like it'll be slightly above average overall on its own merits. At least when you look at the total scores. The various Nintendo ones are somewhat overplaying it, and too many people are hating on it due to not being a traditional Metroid. That doesn't mean the game is perfect or anything, so above average seems like a fair score at this point.
