Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

Yes, they are Miis... but with more custom options.

They may be human Miis, cat Miis, dog Miis, or bunny Miis. The species of your choice does not determine what moves they get. It's purely aesthetic.

Cat Miis and dog Miis come in brown and black. Bunny Miis come in white and pink. The fur color of your choice does not determine what moves they get. It's also purely aesthetic.

The shirt color of your choice actually determines what special moves they get... just like in Find Mii and Mii Force. The shirt comes in 12 colors: red, orange, yellow, lime, green, cyan, blue, pink, purple, brown, white, and black.

Each shirt color comes with their own 12 custom special moves (3 neutral specials, 3 side specials, 3 up specials, and 3 down specials) and their own Final Smash. So... 144 custom moves and 12 Final Smashes.

They all share the same normal moves no matter what the color of their shirts are. Only the shirt color determines what elemental magic the Wandering Hero would specialize in.

Example 1. This cat is wearing a yellow shirt... so it would specialize in summoning sandstorms (Find Mii) and lightning bolts (Mii Force).

Exampe 2. This dog is wearing a pink shirt... so it would specialize in increasing its own sweet spots and increasing the opponent's sour spots (Find Mii) and throwing sticky globs that travel along the surface (Mii Force).

Example 3. This bunny is wearing a red shirt... so it would specialize in fireballs (Find Mii) and flamethrowers (Mii Force).

Wandering Heroes would represent StreetPass Mii Plaza. It would make sense for them to use moves based on StreetPass games. We have...

Puzzle Swap
Find Mii
Mii Force
Monster Manor
Warrior's Way
Flower Town
Ultimate Angler
Battleground Z
Slot Car Rivals
Market Crashers
Ninja Launcher
Feed Mii
Mii Trek

13 StreetPass games with plenty of material for Wandering Heroes to use in Smash.

We even had a StreetPass stage in SSB4 3DS. It was based on Find Mii.

This could be Wandering Heroes' home stage along with a new StreetPass stage from another StreetPass game in SSB5.

Is it wrong that I want the Wandering Heroes to be a thing?

Find Mii is easily one of my absolute favorite Streetpass games of all time. I still replay it to this day when I get hit with other 3DS players passing by.

Urban Champion is on my wishilist of Smash. After all, it's Nintendo first fighting game.

Also, I feel like the only one who actually really enjoys the NES game in question.

No, it is not wrong to want Wandering Heroes. I have been supporting Wandering Heroes for Smash since 2013.

You are not a lot. While a certain someone is in the camp that the game didn't age well (like Ice Climbers) and hates it, I for one actually like the simplicity of the game. Sure it's a bit rough around the edges, but it's not like Urban Champion himself would be a terrible Smasher (Isn't that right @smashkirby?). I actually wouldn't mind seeing what a fully redesigned brawler would look like, maybe something in the vein of Little Mac without being too cartoony.

Funny that there's a lot of Urban Champion love here because he got tons of flak in the RTC thread some months ago.

I feel that if Urban Champion was revived as a beat'em up game like Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage (these three are some of the best beat'em up games IMO), maybe it could make Sakurai give Urban Champion a second look... maybe he will say Urban Champion has enough stuff to make himself unique and not boring.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Urban Champion is my seventh most wanted character. He's my favorite of the retro characters considered for Melee.

 

[Erureido]

This is now my favorite Fire Emblem video
Warning: Swearing. Lots of it.

20 minutes purely of trying to capture Gazak with a Lv2 Adventurer Niles

Glad I'm not the only one that is watching Mangs' Fates playthroughs. Those are pretty fun to watch.

I'm currently trying to catch up to speed with his Awakening playthrough, and I'm loving it too.

Well, I finished Fate/Stay Night: UBW today so I'll post my final thoughts here

Spoiler

Overall, it was good and the fight scenes were way flashier than in Fate/Zero, which I liked, but as an anime and technically a follow-up to Zero, it felt lacking
I understand that Zero is a prequel but the way it was presented made it feel like Kirei was supposed to be the Big Bad yet he shows up 4 or 5 times in UBW only to then get casually killed by his own Servant. Gilgamesh ended up as the final boss yet they failed to present him as such in Zero
And I guess I should blame Zero for this instead of UBW but, well, I watched them in chronological order
Another problem UBW suffers is the fact the VN it is based off has multiple routes which makes the anime lack certain information and development
True Assassin never showing up, Rider having almost no screentime, Sakura just disappearing halfway through, foreshadowing that leads nowhere, Kiritsugu's influence barely gets any mention, Illya and Berserker having a straight "A Death In The Limelight", etc.

I also liked how Zero introduced all Masters and Servants right away and balanced their screentime, though that is just my personal opinion


And yeah, Lancer really was Brolancer
Even after having stabbed himself, he still took Kirei with him and freed Rin

Oh look, fake Assassin, he was a cool guy, fortunately, he got the fight he was looking for
I liked what they did with him, the whole "putting a face on an unknown swordmaster" since that's how most heroic tales are born

Gilgamesh lost to a Ordinary High School Student, well, that was certainly satisfying
The guys that "could end the 4th Grail War in one night" finally got what he deserved
This is what you get for killing the best character
No, not Archer, **** that edge, I'm talking about the great Broskander

And speaking of Broskander, by the end I started thinking "well, Waver survived in Fate/Zero so he had to exist in Stay Night" and then that guy shows up in the last episode and I'm all like "that could be him" and I look it up and holy **** it was best character. He even took Kayneth's title
And now that I think about it, Waver was the only survivor of the 4th War in the end

So, tl;dr
UBW is an 8/10, Zero is a 9/10 and Waver and Rider are 10/10 best characters

Also
Zero!Lancer=UBW!Lancer
Zero!Assassin<fake Assassin
UBW!Caster>Zero!Caster
Zero!Saber>>>>UBW!Saber
Zero!Berserker=UBW!Berserker
Both Archers are trash
Zero!Rider>literally everyone else

Spoiler

Illya and Berserker will gain more focus in Heaven's Feel; Illya especially, as that is the route where she has the most spotlight. Berserker receives some decent spotlight in that same route, though most of his spotlight is in the Fate route. There, his lore as Hercules is expanded upon, and we see how threatening he really is. Illya also serves as the initial antagonist for the first half of the route similar to how Caster is the initial antagonist for UBW, and it's there we see her carry out her revenge against Shirou for reasons explained in UBW (and the tragic part is that it was Acht, the old man with the white cloak you saw in episode 1 of F/Z and episode 15 of UBW, that was manipulating her about Kiritsugu, when in truth, he tried to return to the castle to fetch her).

The deleted scene in episode 21 actually incorporates an element from the Fate route that wasn't present in the UBW VN. In the scene where Gilgamesh is telling Saber about his plans for the Holy Grail, there's a part where he talks about he has managed to remain in the world for the 10 years between the 4th and 5th Holy Grail Wars. He explains that Kirei managed to capture a large number of orphans that were victims of that great Fuyuki Fire, kept them subdued within a portion of the church's basement, and drained them of their mana to keep Gilgamesh alive, turning the orphans into mummified-looking corpses. I could link to pictures of it, but it's a pretty ghastly scene.

In the Fate route, we learn about how Kirei used the orphans to supply Gilgamesh with Mana when Shirou stumbles into an area of the church basement and notices the orphans in their caskets, still looking like they are mummified. This revelation happens later in the Fate route, around the part where Kirei is revealed to be a villain.

Speaking of Kirei, his backstory is further explored in Heaven's Feel (not to mention that's the route where he has the most spotlight), though he's only the main antagonist in the Fate route.

As for that Gilgamesh death, that entire fight was my favorite battle in all of UBW not only because that's where the animation was at its best, but also because of the ending. I was satisfied to see him die like that not only because of it was revenge for Broskander's death, but also because he got what he rightfully deserved for what he did to Illya (I got emotional watching Ilya die like that, not to mention she's one of my favorite Fate characters). In fact, I think the finishing moves on Gil were karmic for each of the Einzberns he murdered:

• Shiro cutting off Gil's arm = karma for Gil cutting off Leysritt's arm before killing her
• Shiro slashing Gil's chest = karma for Gil ripping out Illya's heart (both attacks were injuries to the chest)
• Archer killing Gil by blasting the arrow through his head = karma for Gil decapitating Sella (both attacks were injuries to the head)

I remember bursting into laughter when Gil got killed like that because of how satisfying it was.

And you're not alone with liking Fate/Zero more than Fate/Stay Night. The issue of Fate/Stay Night having to tell its story in three separate stories is similar to FE: Fates where some mysteries and plot points are explained in one route but missed out in the others. Because Fate/Zero is only route, all the Masters and Servants receive equal amounts of screen time, and it can tell the mysteries and answer them in one go rather than three. I also found F/Z less predictable than F/SN, not to mention that I liked its main protagonist more than Shiro despite the former doing those questionable things at times (I think Kiritsugu was more badass as well).

If you liked Fate/Zero though, you'll probably like Heaven's Feel. It's the darkest of the three F/SN routes, and even strays into unexpected yet satisfying directions at times.

 

[Arcadenik]

YES! I have been wanting Nintendo to revive Pro Wrestling for a long time!

I hope that if Nintendo revives the game, the controls are just as good as the N64 wrestling games like WCW/NWO Revenge, WWF WrestleMania 2000, and WWF No Mercy. It's a shame those games will not be on Virtual Console.

Speaking of Virtual Console, what's taking so long for Nintendo to put Pro Wrestling on the service? I'd like to play it again. It's been almost 25 years since the last time I played it.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Speak of the devilish bunyip, we are currently rating Donbe & Hikari from Shin Onigashima today.

In one interview (I remember which), one guy asked Sakurai about Donbe and he said that his Japan-only status prevents him from being a serious Smash addition. So I can already expect what scores he would get.

Still the retro character I want most.
Let their moveset be incredibly over the top japanese culture and mythology jokes.

Ok Okami kinda made me realize how bad I want that kind of thing but still.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, considering the new Fate anime was UBW, in which there was already a movie of it. Not to mention the first Fate anime and UBW movie were done by a different studio, whereas Fate/Zero, the new UBW anime and the Heaven's Feel movie are done by UFOTable.

 

[Coricus]

I'm honestly not sure what to expect for Smash 5's new series.

Smash 4 cleared out most of the main casual series other than the ones who's main characters are a photorealistic puppy and a disembodied head and most of the remaining popular retro series in one go.

According to my flimsy Wikipedia research, there's about four high sellers that pop out.

In order of chronology: Excitebike, Golden Sun, Rhythm Heaven, Splatoon.

The first one might have problems with being constantly on the bike, so it remains to be seen whether they'd be brave enough to attempt that.

The second one I think might be second party, not sure, and they aren't really as much in public knowledge lately, so while they make a decent candidate outright expecting them would probably be a bad idea.

The third one seems to have tried for but couldn't pull off getting in this time around, so they may or may not try again.

. . .And I honestly can't find a single thing wrong with the fourth. It not being added this time was basically a matter of timing.

Looking at the number of new first party series from each game:

64: 10
Melee: 3
Brawl: 3
Smash 4: 6

Of course, Brawl also added 2 third party series and 4 added 5 third party series. . .two without DLC.

This has been my not-sure-where-I-was-going-with-this analysis on potential newcomers.

 

[Wolfie557]

ChikoLad why no avi?

Melee: 3
Brawl: 3
Smash 4: 6

Of course, Brawl also added 2 third party series and 4 added 5 third party series. . .two without DLC.

From what characters have been added here's my thoughts.

Smash 64 had almost all protagonists, with Luigi and Jigglypuff as bonus
Melee expanded the three flagship titles: Mario, Zelda & Pokemon (with Star Fox getting a bonus in Falco)
Brawl Expanded the other series, giving characters to everything from big hitters like Metroid and Donkey Kong to smaller ones like Fire Emblem and Mother.
Smash 4 added a lot of new series while adding some more of Mario's more recent characters, bringing Kid Icarus up to date and all the Fire Emblem lords. Like every single one of them. Elliwood is so OP.

I believe the best way for 5 to go is to expand current series. For example, there are a lot of Animal Crossing characters that could represent aspects of the series not seen in Villager's moveset. Tom Nook's debt racket and Isabelle representing town development. Not to mention: Xenoblade got a sequel with new characters and gameplay, there's numerous ways they could have one of the opponent boxers from Punch-Out and the DK and Star Fox series are ripe for expansion.

It's also only been two very barren years since Smash 4 released compared to the normal ~four that happens between release and next roster creation. And even if Smash 5's roster was made now, you can add Splatoon, Rhythm Heaven, and some retro character and still have the same number of new series as Melee and Brawl. So it doesn't seem like a huge deal.

Though I agree the number of "big" candidates drops with every iteration, but that's just what happens with a company that focuses so much of its attention on existing and current IPs over letting new ones flourish or acknowledging dormant ones.

 

[Wolfie557]

I personally think Zelda, Xenoblade and Kid Icarus have the most diverse character pool to choose from.
Fire Emblem would to if only they didn't choose sword users all this time.

Don't really use Smashboards anymore. Kinda was just back this weekend out of boredom.

A series doesn't have to sell in the Millions to get in Smash Bros. Otherwise FE wouldn't be represented in Melee and Xenoblade wouldn't be represented in Smash 4.

Here's hoping Golden Sun goes to another dev if that's all Camelot is going to do.

Y'know, looking back, I think I might actually giveWoolly World a shot. 3DS game has more content apparently but I'll wait till it releases. To anyone who played Woolly World, tell me the positives and negatives about the game

Positives

Adorable
Lots of stuff to collect
adjustable difficulty
Charming visuals

Negatives

LOTS OF STUFF TO COLLECT
Pain in the butt to 100%

The NES title yeah but the series as a whole isn't all that noteworthy.

Wars is a much bigger franchise with more historical significance even if it is a niche series.

I mean. Excitebike is one of the more memorable NES games, it got released on 3DS Classics with Kid Icarus and Kirby's Adventure and Excitebiker was considered for Melee before Ice Climbers got picked (might be mixing the last one with Mach Rider admittedly)

So I had a thought.

Are all the major Wii U games now non-exclusive to the console? I'm saying this because pretty much every high profile Wii U game is making it's way or already made it's way to the 3DS and/or is going to be ported to the NX.

I mean. Excitebike is one of the more memorable NES games, it got released on 3DS Classics with Kid Icarus and Kirby's Adventure and Excitebiker was considered for Melee before Ice Climbers got picked (might be mixing the last one with Mach Rider admittedly)

Memorable yes but really only for the NES game and to a much lesser extent the N64 game. I would like to compare Excitebike to Punch Out but the later series had much more fame and it's revival had much more fanfare than any of the Wii Excitebike games.

I haven't beaten it but:

• Visuals are so darn realistic, creative, and kawaii.
  
• You can get TONS of Yoshi skins.
  
• People like it waaaay more than New Island.
• No crying babies to take care of.

Though some levels are hit or miss.

That's his official name.

So yes.

Correct.

I feel sad now...
