But will they have to go one on one with da Undataka?

Not sure what you mean.
Whatever it is, I'm in. I am so bored tonight.

You took too long, slowpoke. :079: :p

I figured as much. I'm about to sign out for the night, but if it is still going on tomorrow, I am in.

In PAL region, mods work fine.

Also this just got announced:



It's like Investigations 2 all over again :^)
Really?

I note that, for sure...

It's just a question of time now.:evil:

Well this thread just got real exciting...

So something came to mind regarding the NX...moreso this Nintendo news drought with only a few tidbits here and there to keep us occupied while we wait...(and Pokemon of course but that's not really Nintendo handling it)...

Does this not remind you of something from last year? Specifically with Smash DLC?
Since e3 month by month we thought we'd be getting news, each month passed with next to nothing substantial...until November they announced a new Direct...NOVEMBER!!! just barely before the holidays...

We all know we're not going to be getting the NX until next March...the holiday storm will have already come and gone by then...and Nintendo clearly are in no hurry to reveal the damn thing...

Of course they really dropped the bomb with Cloud's reveal last November and here we are now awaiting another new reveal except this time for an entirely new console and whatever other games will be revealed for it rather than just a few characters for a single game...

There's too many rumours floating around at this point and too many uncertainties...the release for the NX is inching ever closer and we STILL know next to nothing about it...We don't even know what's in store for the system and the only games confirmed for the system are still going to be available on other platforms...

To their defense, she is above a pool of water.

But yeah, I remember the old Pokemon having rather savage lines and being a bit on the dark side at some points, even with a couple episodes being censored.
That one time they have hallucinations.
Ash "I don't see any beautiful lady"
Misty "Just look behind you" (referring to herself)
Ash "Misty, please. Only one of us can hallucinate at a time".
Literally this show was super savage.

November, huh? Makes a lot sense this year especially with the the US elections on. And especially this year where both candidates are ridiculous. After the election is over and the country has figured out which bad haircut has got in, Nintendo comes out BAM! magic entertainment thingy to take your mind off all that.

One of my favorite ones was from the third movie.

James: (seeing swarm of Unown) I haven't seen this many strange letters since the last time I placed a personal ad!

And then there was this beauty of a Team Rocket motto...

Jessie: To protect us from all that chaffing and itching!
James: It might finally stop all of Jessie's...complaining!

My point wasn't that they'd reveal the console in November though...it was more on the stance that Nintendo sees no need to rush, and in turn they don't see the need to reveal it just yet...

The fans are licking their chops right now, ready to gobble up any information relating to the NX in some way and Nintendo's like 'eh, we'll reveal it when we reveal it'...

As mentioned we won't be able to get it until next spring regardless and summer is only just coming to an end this year...

At this point though November seems like the very latest they could reveal it, simply based on the March timeframe...

Another of my favorites comes from when a pair of Elgyem hypnotized the group and only Ash, Jessie, and James weren't affected by it
Ash and TR "Why aren't we hypnotized right now?"
The Elgyem speaking through meowth "I'm afraid it's much harder to hypnotize idiots"

Don't even make me think that they would actually hold that off to November. The thought of that fills me with so much dread yo.

Not to mention what the Nintendo executive said about NX news coming "very soon". There's no way this can last past the first week of October.

As I mentioned in a later post my point wasn't that they will reveal it in November...but that Nintendo is in no rush and quite frankly has no reason to rush...

Well if the company is releasing the system in the first week of March they should at least reveal the console by the first week of October if not earlier. At least have like 5 months to build to your platform's release.

One thing that would really irk me is if the NX doesn't sell well initially and Nintendo wonders why it didn't sell well despite not sharing info when they should have.

Well they shared info on the Wii U 17 months beforehand and that went well. :troll:

. . .The Wii U did end up lacking games being shown off though. Or existing. Fortunately what Nintendo's said so far leads me to believe they're doing everything in their power to avoid having that happen again, so I have faith they won't make the same mistake twice on that.

About time they added the VS CPU feature, not sure what took them this long (or why it wasn't there in the first place...)

Season Pass people getting the Survival Mode colors is a huge plus too, I think most people who play the game regularly bought it anyway.

Good to see they finally added the rest of the environmental KOs, it was super weird that only the China stage had them, screamed beta to me.

I think there's a large difference between revealing 17 months beforehand and 5 months beforehand. :estatic:

I really hope their lineup is going to be very robust. The only notable game the Wii U had at launch were like New Super Mario Bros U which was essentially the other NSMB games on the Wii U, Bayonetta, and some Batman game. People had to wait really long to get all the key titles in 2013 and 2014 which really damaged the Wii U in addition to the naming confusion.

NX needs a solid lineup for the Spring, Summer, and Holiday seasons respectively to keep the platform afloat.

Only Big Nintendo Game we know about for sure on the NX is Breath of the Wild and that's repeating Twilight Princess on the Wii and Gamecube. Maybe they're hoping lightning will strike twice.

Bayonetta came out on Wii U on 2014.

I think you might be confusing it for Ninja Gaiden 3's port.

Finished Life is Strange ep 2 and all I can say is WOW. Some crazy **** can happen yet it's still a beautiful, thrilling and intense game. Can't wait to see what happens in episode 3!!

Actions from ep1 really affected what I could do in episode 2, mainly at the very end, but not too much that I feel I'm out of options I want to take.

Took a ton of great screenshots.

Well, admittedly neither of them are exclusive but Zelda at launch and Sonic at Holiday don't HURT.

I've been having this gut feeling for a super long time that the Wii U game drought is because they've been moving everything they've got to the NX. It's just a feeling, but that void combined with all the talk of Nintendo unifying their game flow and saying how games are their focus. . .it's mighty fishy to me, and in a good way. The way they've been talking about focusing mostly on games that sell above 2 million copies is fishy in a definitely not so good way considering a lot of games I like sell below that threshold, but it does hint that they're planning on getting out heavy hitters at least.

And then they talk about their Animal Crossing app working with consoles and don't say with what game specifically. Said app delayed to right around the time the NX launches.

And while this is dipping well into speculation at this point, there's the fact that Mario Kart games tend to be released every three years and the last one came out in 2014. . .

Oh yeah probably lol.

Yeah, the Wii U's launch was. . .sad.

I mistakenly thought Hyrule Warriors was part of the launch lineup one time myself because it was so unmemorable.

I mean, there was Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, ZombiU, some LEGO game. . .I almost want to say Wonderful 101 but I might have mistaken that one for a launch title when it wasn't, too.

Porting Breath of the Wild alone gives the NX a better looking starting lineup than the Wii U had and it's not even solely an NX game.

And you'd be correct.

W101 was going to be a launch title but it was delayed for some months before coming out mid 2013.

I finally watched the first two episodes of Pokemon Generations, so time for some thoughts
Round head Pikachu looks weird and it's kinda odd to have those cries when they already changed its cries in the games to the anime"pika pika"
Really like the animation though

First episode was mostly fanservice, the Ecruteak City scene was beautiful and I loved that Probopass fight

It's neat to see Pokemon being used for things other than fighting in the second episode and I like that they showed how Team Rocket's downfall looked in the eyes of others, the sudden disappearence of their leader after their plans were misteriously interfered

Everyone's voice acting but Looker's sounds a little bit robotic imo, Giovanni felt like it had no emotion put into it

Yeah, that would be a good idea. Breath of the Wild at launch (Spring), Mario Kart 9 towards mid-late Summer, and the Sonic game for the holiday season. Of course Nintendo would need other games to supplement those lineups (i.e. projects that might have been intended for the Wii U that got moved to the NX as you mentioned like Pikmin 4 and reviving a lot of Nintendo franchises) but those are the best titles to lead with.

Maybe a new Smash Bros game can get released in the Holiday season of 2018 as well? That would be neat.
