People are going all "SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T" about fangames recently because of AM2R, No DCAM Sky, gamjolt and Sonic Mania. People are forgetting about anything from a few years ago that makes their unfunny jokes invalid

I gotta say some things about Metroid: Other M. And fewer things about Federation Force. I figured here would be the best place to put it. But anyways, paragraph incoming!

OK, so Other M... The GAME is good. Let's talk about that for just a sec. It's good. It is an awesome representation of what a 2-D Metroid would look like if there was a Z-Axis in the original game. The game is super easy to control. Simple, sweet, and fun although a little clunky specifically in transition to First-Person. The game is face paced and has some awesome action... That sentence, however, is what spells out the gameplay's problem. It's almost all action. Linear action. A very tiny bit of exploration is in its entirety. Which is NOT Metroid. Metroid is all about exploration. So that's a negative on its part. Everything about the game is not Metroid...

Including the story. Oh boy here we go. The story is boring. It drags on too long. It makes Samus nothing like the Samus we love. It tries to be a sequel to, arguably, one of the greatest games ever made. It almost tries to retcon the entire Metroid series, most notably the Metroid Prime series. For ****s sake it even tried to give Samus PTSD over a Baby Metroid even after she's seen her parents slaughtered in front of her. The hell? The Daddy syndrome is even worse considering she cries over him leaving when any other time she would have just waved them off. She's cold. That's why she's a bounty hunter. Duh?

TL;DR ~ Other M is a good game with a bad story. BUT it is a bad Metroid game. Nothing makes sense in continuity at all. And the gameplay is way too much action for a Metroid game. But seriously, applaud Team Ninja for their gameplay. They did a good job.

Now, about Federation Force. This game... Is actually really really good. However, it is only really really good when you have friends. Otherwise, when you get to later levels, you will be constantly shooting at damage sponges for WAY too long. Seriously, the enemies take way to much damage near the end of the game. It is also quite action focused but it's broken up by quite open exploration. Especially for a mission based game. Way more than Other M. The level design is fantastic. The mission structure is great. The action is awesome. The gameplay's fun. I definitely recommend the game. As long as you get some friends to play with you. Offline or online, friends are a necessity for this game.

OK, done.
Ehhh I wouldn't say Other M is a good game so easily. It is certainly a million times better than it gets credit for, but it still has severe problems even beyond not being Metroid styled.


Dodging is completely broken, it's awkward to control because of the fact you get a D-pad nd nothing else, almost all of the bosses are way too easy except for phantoon and maybe ridley (I feel like I was missing something there). Also the Omega Metroid finale is just straight up dumb and there is no way for someone to guess you got power bombs back out of the blue when it hasn't been mentioned since the tutorial hours earlier. Most of the combat (which is like 90% of the game when you aren't in cutscenes) isn't particularly exhilarating or interesting either since all you can do is dodge and shoot. No combos or anything like that. That one thing where you jump on an enemies head isn't that big of a deal either.


TL:DR When you're only good thing is combat and even that is very simple and a bit clunky I have trouble calling the game good.

Barry was a cool rival. But I have two picks. For the jerk rival, Silver. He was pretty developed in HG/SS and a great character. tough fights as well. Nice rival goes to Wally. ORAS made him greater and he's a good character.

Well guys; I found some images on the internet (specifically from Twitter) that claim to be Sun and Moon "leaks" of Popplio's final evolution and an Alola form for Electrode. The fact Popplio's final evolution is missing a gender and Minior looks like its using its official artwork and not a 3D Model means that's fake, and I honestly don't believe Electrode will get an Alola form anyway when others like Alakazam and (hopefully) Arcanine deserve one more.

Yeah, Popplio evo is definitely fake.

Not sure about Electrode... is it supposed to be some kind of mine?

Also lol at that electrode

Yeah


Due to the channel being dead and having little to even no traffic, I just had to delete it and told most of the people who joined to use the Source Gaming Discord, much easier and it's pretty much like the NintenZone discord anyway

Looks like you may of triple posted by accident or there was a glitch, BluePikmin11 BluePikmin11 .

Speaking of SilvaGunner, I've known the guy for having video game music on his channel, and I keep hearing he is one of the best Youtube channels out there (or something like that). Is there a reason behind this?

SiivaGunner just deleted his rips from today. He uploaded 15 rips in just 5 minutes and deleted them.

Somewhat concerned about the channel now.

Three posts in a row, followed by three posts about them

Balance in all things I suppose.

By saying that, you're adding on, so Fumi needs to travel back in time to post once more about SilvaGunner! But Fumi accidentally traveled too far back! Join the resistance and collect Yokai figurines to fight the evil Zelalek, lord of the weebs! Coming to Atari Jaguar in 2019

Vivillon still holds up very well. Then again, when most of your opponents are just first stage Pokémon, I guess that doesn't mean much. Still, Vivillon might just stay on the team for a while longer. After Grant's Gym, it'll have a good time for the next two... if it stays for that long.
Now's when the team really starts getting solidified. Coastal Kalos has every single last Pokémon I plan on using for the E4, besides the two starters I already have. Until Olympia's Gym though I'll likely still rotate for the Gym's between then and now.

Just watch and learn:

and BluePikmin11 BluePikmin11 perhaps a team member crudely uploaded those and he removed them.

No FireRed update for today. Nothing interesting happened, other than the fact I got through Victory Road and grinded my entire team all the way up to level 63 (Which is the same level as Blue's starter Pokemon, in my case it's Charizard) and tomorrow I'm gonna challenge the Pokemon league.

In Red/ Blue I was underleveled the first time I fought the Elite 4 and one of my most powerful pokemon was a farfetch'd that only got that high because of EXP ALL

Popplio final evolution "leak":


Electrode's "possible" Alola form

Could you link the videos?
And damn, even if it's fake, Popplio looks way better than in the leaked artwork

That line of thought didn't work for Smadh so I doubt it'll work here
That's looks more like Popplio's second form, not final evo

Also lol at that electrode
You mean the same evo that was leaked alongside the other 2 final srarter evolutions?
And how the hell would Popplio go from what it is now to that in one stage?

That's suppose to be the second form.

And it's fake, the video surfaced awhile back and the evolution was animated like a comic book character. The creator wanted to just make it for fun. And the electrode is from last month and fake as well.

Side note:

On Pokémon Go today, I hatch a 1,210 cp electabuzz with either nearly perfect or perfect ivs in HP, Attack, and Defense. Pretty good hatch!

Man, Siivagunner's been a mess this week.

All that Bean nonsense, now this 9-11 stuff. The subreddit's going insane and panicking. In-fighting. Loss of faith. Kind of sad, really. It's been a bad week.

At least nothing as bad as the Harlequin Baby thing though...

I'll be honest.

I think the SiivaGunner joke has kind of run its course.

I still laugh at some of the rips (especially the Banjo-Tooie Cloud Race one), but I'm kind of just over it at this point.
