Fate/Stay Night with those plot twists and not-so-much-twists-because-of-Fate/Zero man
Damn, they really love those 50-minute episodes, don't they?
Surprised to see Caster taking Saber and... putting her in a wedding dress? Well, Fate/Zero had a lot of fanservice from the male characters so I guess it was time for some from the female one too

This series thinks it's clever by making me think Kirei is dead but little do they know I watched the prequel
I'm now trying to remember if Saber ever saw him personally in Zero because otherwise she should have recognized him. I know Zero is a prequel but they would probably have thought about this

Heh, Archer betrayed Rin, I guess you could say he is... BETRAYAL
Get it, 'cause Takumi is an Archer too

And Caster is getting quite the focus here, at least they are making her somewhat sympathetic

Gilgamesh becomes Shinji's(get in the damn robot) new Servant and I see his dickness hasn't worn out in those 10 years:
"Oh, Berserker is a cool guy and Illya ia gettong some flashba--"
*Gilgamesh kills both of them*
"Well, I already hated you anyways"
Maybe the two will get their chance in another route
Here's a challenge.
Without googling, name 3 of Battleborn's 25 characters.

Now think to yourself how many of Overwatch's 22 you know.

That should say numbers how much disparity there is in the successes.
One has memes
The other doesn't
There's your difference

I don't play Overwatch but the one I remember the most by name and appearance is Mercy, Tracer, and the Donkey Kong with a PHD.

1. Ummm... Uhhhhh... I don't know.

2. Tracer, D.Va, and Genji were the first three characters to come to mind.

This is coming from someone who hasn't played either game and has never actively searched for any gameplay footage, reviews, or related articles and videos.

Battleborn: No idea
Overwatch: D.Va, Mei

I find both games' sets of characters to be too obnoxious to care.

So it's confirmed that Elemental Shields in Sonic Mania still give Sonic his old abilities from 3&K. Neat! Hopefully there'll be a volcanic world like Magma Reef in which you can speed through by mashing the jump button
This was actually confirmed since the 25th Anniversary Party.

I also got to play around with the Flame Shield and Bubble Shield myself when I played the game at Summer of Sonic. The Flame Shield seems to go a bit faster/farther than in Sonic 3. And the Bubble Shield no longer kills forward momentum, so you can use it to bounce around like crazy off pretty much any surface. It's incredibly fun.

----------

So I just beat Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and I have a question. After the credits, the game asks you to select 5 characters for something, but it doesn't seem to tell you what it's for. Anyone who's beaten the game know what that's about?

Battleborn.......what's a Battleborn? Is he a cool guy? Can he crawl?

Overwatch
Tracer, Genji, Pharah, Ana, Mercy, Symmetra, Widowmaker, Mei, D Va, Hanzo, Winston, Soldier 76, Bastion, and a bunch of others I can't remember their names for...

Not bad considering I haven't even played Overwatch...

Carries over those selected characters. I think once you do that, they will be in the Avatar logbook as Einherjar

Fate/Stay Night spoilers
"Oh hey, Archer wasn't a **** afte--"
*is a *****
"Never****ingmind"

Damn, Caster was a ***** but her death was kinda sad. She really liked Kuzuki in the end, probably because he was the only person that never called her a witch, at least that was how I interpreted it.

I wonder what this means to her 3 Servants though as they technically don't have a Mana source anymore, Saber will probably make another pact with Shirou but Assassin has no Master and Archer just keeps on being a ****

And I just realized that I'm basically on 2/3 of the series yet Lancer's Master and the true Assassin and its Master haven't been shown yet
God damn 91 Days was lit
So was Fango :^)

Basically, when you beat the game, you can choose 5 characters to put into the Logbook. From there, you can recruit them, buy for your currant playthrough's characters' skills from them and etc. Kinda like what you do for Einherjar and characters you get from other player's My Castle. However, there is a bigger benefit of getting them from Endgame. When you get them from Endgame, they will actually have all of their available skills that they had after that. Whereas with Einherjar from the Shop or other player's My Castles, you can only get the 5 they have in their skill bar.

Oh wow, I could have some fun with that, given who I picked. Thanks for the tip!

Basically, with a lot of hard work and effort, you can get all characters with all skills they can legitimately get in the Logbook, besides Generics, Capture Bosses and Amiibo. Even including the ones who can only support with Corrin.

I just watched Episode 19 and
...is Archer really who I think it is? I mean, they have implied it to hell but still

Well, I guess Heroic Spirits can come from the future but whatever happened to Shirou's hair and skin color?

"Oh, Berserker is a cool guy and Illya ia gettong some flashba--"
*Gilgamesh kills both of them*
"Well, I already hated you anyways"

Episode 12 is the last 50 minute episode. The rest are usual length from here on out.

Saber only saw Kirei once in Fate/Zero, and that was the scene where Iri, Maiya, and Saber tried to negotiate with Tokiomi and Kirei about sending the latter away if they wanted the two to work together.

I like that Archer pun. Want to know another fun fact about Fire Emblem Fates and Fate/Stay Night? Archer's Japanese voice actor also voiced Jakob. Junichi Suwabe is always a pleasure to listen to.

Though speaking of Takumi, one scene from UBW would make the perfect FE: Fates parody: the Archer vs Caster battle from the first season. Put Takumi's face over Archer's, Camilla's face over Caster's, Corrin's face over Shiro's, and then add some of Takumi's critical quotes over some of Archer's lines. It makes the perfect Takumi parody, not to mention it could even parody Birthright Chapter 13 to some extent (the Normal and Hard versions where Camilla doesn't have Bowbreaker).

The Blu-Ray version of episode 14 actually has a lot of content that was left out from the TV release (basically deleted scenes). One prominent scene that wasn't present on the TV version was Atram Galliasta (the name of Caster's first master) and Caster first talking to each other shortly after the latter's summoning. The scene takes place at night at a floor of his skyscraper, and it features a long path in the middle of two pools of water with the summoning circle at the end. Behind Atram are all of his girls, who stand on a set of stairs.

Atram welcomes Caster at first and offers her some wine. He tells her his background (and it's there that he reveals his name), and as he talks about himself, he notices Caster's Rulebreaker for the first time. He asks her what it is, and she briefly mentions it's a weapon she uses. He then tells Caster that he wants her to summon the original dragon from Colchis (part of Caster's legend as Medea), but Caster tells him that while she knows how to summon it, she doesn't know how to control it. This causes Atram to snap his finger as a cue for all the girls behind him to laugh at Caster in mockery. He then becomes furious at Caster, kicking his wine stand to the side and says he summoned a useless servant. He then forces Caster to stay at her summoning circle for the night and leaves. We then see Caster lie on her circle and sleep. The scene changes to show the golden fleece from her legend as Medea (since there are specks of fleece around her circle), and then we see Caster sleeping again. The scene then transitions into the part the TV version started in Caster's entire flashback, the one where Atram tells Caster about his family and more about his plans.

You won't be able to find the Blu-Ray scenes online, but some pictures of it have been uploaded.








Two other major deleted scenes from episode 14 feature a part where Archer and Caster share some dialogue after that giant flashback. The other deleted scene showed Sella and Leysritt talking with each other as they walk through the castle halls to capture Shirou and Rin. On their way, they hear a scream coming from the garden. The two run toward it, and then it transitions into the scene when Shinji falls from the sky.

As for episode 15, you probably notice the very moment Illya got her eyes slashed, the screen blacks out. In the Blu-Ray version, that scene is uncensored, and you see that particular moment happen in all of its graphic glory. Similarly, Leysritt getting her arm cut out by Gil and Gil ripping out Illya's heart are both uncensored in the Blu-Ray version (the former removes the blur around the bloody stub in the TV release, while the latter removes all of the darkened effects for the BR version).

Episode 16's deleted scene featured Kuzuki and Archer talking with each other (takes place between the scenes where Archer first walks in and the part where they stand outside); they basically talk about their motivations and how similar they are to each other.

Back to episode 13, the episode originally opened off with Caster destroying the inside of the Church by throwing benches everywhere using magecraft as she wonders where the Grail is.




She then flies toward Saber's location, and it's there we watch how the TV version starts off there was some cut content featuring Caster torturing Saber before Kuzuki arrived, and there's also some deleted clips of Shirou searching through the city to find Rin as bystanders give him odd looks. It soon dawns on him that she should be at the Church when he remembers where she would probably go.






^Shirou hears Rin's voice at that moment.

Episode 16 has a deleted scene that shows Archer swooping in and capturing Rin while Saber tries to save her but to no avail. It then transitions to the part when Shiro wakes up. Episode 20 is the only other scene that has deleted content, but I think it's best to fill in on the episodes you've watched first.

And no mention about the Bro-Lancer moment?



^I laughed so hard at that moment. Seriously, that Lancer face needs to become a meme.

Well, there is certainly a lot of deleted scenes

Speaking of it, I just watched episode 20
That was certainly unexpected but at the same time doesn't feel like an asspull
And here I thought Archer returning Rin's stone in the first episode was some continuity error, talk about a Chekov's Gun

And speak of the devil(maybe literally), Kirei is back
And what's up with Lancers and their tendency to kill themselves? Just after I started liking him too

And yeah, Lancer turned out to be pretty cool, too bad this series has something against cool guys with spears
Guess being Lancer really is suffering

And where the hell is Assassin? And I mean both, fake Assassin kinda just disappeared with no mention and true Assassin has still not been shown

True Assassin only appears in one route, which is the one the movie is based on.

Looks good.

I'd vote on several, as I'm sure many would... so maybe the option to choose multiple series would be fine.

Just got this from my gamma Metroid in Giriatina Strikes Back. It's kind of scary lol.

I kinda think "2D Kid Icarus" is stretching it, or being overly specific. It's not really a separate series. It's all the same universe, and to be perfectly honest, there are tons of 2D games these days that give the same kind of experience only a lot better than the original Kid Icarus games did.
That being said, Kid Icarus in general might be a candidate for that list pretty soon if it doesn't get a game during the NX generation.

Game & Watch isn't really a game franchise in the same sense as a Nintendo franchise these days. It's kinda like having "N64" on the list, since it was the closest thing Nintendo had to a traditional console at the time, and bringing back Game & Watch machines in this day and age would probably be a bad idea (hardcore fans/collectors would buy them to display but I doubt anyone would take them around to play). I would replace it with "Game & Watch Gallery". Those were a really cool series of games on the Game Boy Colour that contained compilations of Game & Watch games, but they also included a remixed version of each game featuring Mario characters and aesthetics. I had a lot of fun with one of them when I was a kid, so I would love to see them expand on the concept. I could see it making for a good 3DS eShop release, or even a mobile game.

Also Dr. Mario flat out isn't dead, at all.

So I want to do a little thing on Nintendo series revivals


it will pretty much be a strawpoll tournament for nintenzone on what 1st party nintendo series we want revived

For now I have the following series
  • Advance Wars
  • Golden Sun
  • Mysterious Murasame Castle
  • Duck Hunt
  • Punch-Out!!
  • 2D Kid Icarus, like NES and GB
  • Game and Watch
  • Wario Land
  • F-Zero
  • Sin and Punishment
  • Daigasso! Band Brothers
  • Excitebike
  • Drill Dozer
  • Starfy
  • Custom Robo
  • For whom the frog bell tolls (this one's for you BluePikmin)
I have excluded the folowing series
Chibi-Robo- as much as I feel it could fit, it kind of just got the game
Mother-"the series is dead"
third parties- trying to keep this simple

Any you would add?
Any you would remove?

Note, there is about a 50% chance I will forget about this by tomorrow.

I mean if you're going to add '2D' Kid Icarus specifically....then why not a 2D Metroid...

Federation Force gives us precedence for a new Prime game but we still haven't seen an actual Metroidvania Metroid game since the GBA...

Also Ice Climber:popo:
imagine an up-down scrolling platformer similar to their stage in melee or something...

Does this actually exist in Metroid?

Just got this from my gamma Metroid in Giriatina Strikes Back. It's kind of scary lol.
Yeah, that's the Omega Metroid, that sprite is from Fusion...Other than the Queen Metroid and Metroid Prime/Dark Samus that's the Metroid's strongest form...

Can't think of anything else to add, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

In terms of something to remove, maybe Game and Watch? I can't see that series continue unless it's like another collection.

Mother completed it's story arc rather than simply being dead. IMO that removes the chance of ever seeing a sequel but miiiiight leave it with enough loophole abuse to be eligible for remakes.

Chibi-Robo was given an ultimatum to sell well with it's last game or be destroyed and failed it though, so that one's legit killed.

Both are right for being excluded, but I feel they're for different reasons than stated.

. . .

. . .Aaaaaaanyway.

Considering the dates of some of the things listed and the fact that 2D Kid Icarus is there, 2D Metroid would probably count. Or any older series with multiple entries that have a different subgenre that hasn't had any of said entries this generation.

*Votes Advance Wars in 5 million different locations in the world*

Is this poll going to be a multi-vote poll or a single vote poll?

I came before Punch-Out!! Wii and Sin & Punishment 2, among other games in the franchises listed.

I find it odd that Dr. Mario was listed when its newest installment was released last year.
Also Dr. Mario flat out isn't dead, at all.

Yeah I remembbered taht and removed it a few minutes ago.
Also Ice Climber:popo:
Oh duh


Adding 2D metroid as well
*Votes Advance Wars in 5 million different locations in the world*

It's going to be multiple single votes in a tourny fashion.

With losers bracket since this is smashboards :p
