Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Erureido]

Spoiler

While I'm not sure it's the source, a friend of mine did show me this video a day ago from the Bulbapedia forums, which seems to be taken from a preview.

It seems to be legit, but I won't pretend to be an expert on the anime.

Spoiler

Turns out the clip is actually legit. It came from the most recent episode of Oha Suta, and someone in the replies to that tweet posted a link to the video for proof. You can watch the full Greninja segment here. It starts at 20:57, but the specific scene where we see Ash and Greninja hug is at 21:14.

 

[powerprotoman]

just a reminder DQ7's intro was cut to a third of what it was on playstation

 

[Z25]

So... This is Emma's theme from X and Y.

This is Gladion's theme. A recreation of what was heard in trailers but still...

They're really similar.

Game Theory: Is Emma, Gladion? BIG SUN AND MOON LORE REVEALED!

Spoiler

They sound a little similar, but Gladion's is paced quite differently. It will also probably sound different in the actual game. His theme makes me think of Looker atm. It will probably be fleshed out more. I like how it sounds though right now. It's pretty good. The music for Sun and Moon seems like it'll be some of the best imo.

And today, I'm officially 19!

Only two more levels and he would be able to evolve

So Shovel Knight is in Yooka-Laylee.

I wonder if we'll see any more indie guests? Hoping for Shantae.

so at this point i think we can all agree shovel knights become the indie mario because he just keeps showing up

like seriously im expecting a remake of cave story where shovel knight shows up at this point

As for your theory, you may be on something. Some people think Gladion is linked to UB-02 Expension/Absorbtion right? Well Emma is wearing a suit called the Expension suit.

I don't think there was ever any doubt about that.

I am a bit unsure about him showing up in everything though, I really hope the indie scene on consoles (Nintendo specifically since that's where Shovel Knight is most popular) doesn't become reduced to "you need Shovel Knight in your game for people to realise it exists". Saying this both as a consumer and as someone who is conceptualising their own indie game right now.

I'm fine with him being in Yooka-Laylee though because I don't think Yooka-Laylee is doing it for marketing, I feel like it already has enough of an audience to do well (not to mention being so successful on Kickstarter). That, and it's really cool to have a high quality 3D model of Shovel Knight, not to mention his voice is of a similar tone and pitch to what I always imagined. Some people also seem to think this may be who JonTron is voicing.

I also can't wait for the model to be ripped and inevitably be modded into Smash.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

He's finally gotten a voice!

YO YO HO HO YO HO HO YO HO HO YO HO HO YO YO YO HO HO

And I thought Twilight Princess started slow...

Supposedly the 3DS remake speeds things up considerable, but yeah.

DQVII has one of the longest main campaigns of any game, people usually clock in like a 100 hours when done. Of course that /was/ in the original PSX game.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Shovel Knight in Yooka Laylee?
Damn, this guy is really becoming THE hero of Indie game at this point lol.
Not that's a bad thing, to me atleast.

 

[Wolfie557]

Happy Birthday zoroark!

This is huge and totally unexpected.
Hoping for Shantae as well.

Thank you!

I forgot that emma's suit was called that. Now I'll be disappointed if she doesn't show up. She got kind of neglected, but is a good character and could make for good re appearances.

I also can't wait for the model to be ripped and inevitably be modded into Smash.

I'd actually want to see this. The model is pretty nice. I also laughed at them saying he was finally a good npc to work with.

Well, a certain mighty guy from not-so-mighty game probably won't get an invite.

[Wario Bros.]

Butt Butt in Yooka-Laylee? Didn't expect that (or any special guests) but somehow it feels like it fits the game.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Knowing Playtonic's humor, they would absolutely rip Beck a new one.

 

[ChikoLad]

There'll be a trash can somewhere in the game with Beck's helmet in it.

Calling it now.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

So, something like a call back with DKC2 with Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's gun?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

There'll be a trash can somewhere in the game with Beck's helmet in it.

Calling it now.

Well, hello there! Where have you been?

 

[Z25]

Happy Birthday!

Thank you!

That would be perfect. I feel like it will be more savage then that though. There will be some place where rejects live, and Beck will lead them.

 

[Deleted member]

Playtonic should just pay homage to this from DKC2:

Beck's broken remains would be next to the trash can and the "no-hopers" sign.

EDIT: 'd by SegaNintendoUbisoft.

 

[ChikoLad]

Something like that. Not sure who the second character could be though.

Maybe just have Sad Samus sitting in the trash can too.

Well, hello there! Where have you been?

At college mostly. And then busy with an online course when I get home. Also playing the new Ace Attorney as the new content for it rolls out.

Spoiler

...And also having a lady try to force the secrets of her heart inside me. That's always weird.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Damn, my cat is more clever than I though: It wanted to go to the chair I was sitting on. I didn't get up from the chair, so it started to play with a wire that was on the floor.

So, I got up and moved the wire to a table so it couldn't reach it... and meanwhile, it stole my chair.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

And I thought Twilight Princess started slow...

I feel that Twilight Princess's opening is the limit for what I can tolerate for a slow start. I'd mention what games I gave up on due to slow starts but I'd prefer to keep my skin in tact.

And I REALLY want to do Fallout 4 with different builds but Sony decreed that the Console Peasants get no mods so I'm stuck with seeing 1950's america getting bombed and my husband/wife getting shot over and over.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Butt Butt looks fabulous in high quality 3D. Maybe Yacht Club and Playtonic could team up to create that 3D Shovel Knight game they want to make.

Never thought of that. That could actually be a really worthwhile collaboration right there.

Maybe Shovel Knight will officially be considered part of the "Playtonic Universe" too.

 

[Yellowlord]

Shantae should also have a cameo in Yooka-Laylee. It just seems unfortunate when she does not get the recognition she deserves when she existed before Shovel Knight ever did. Yes, Shovel Knight may be more well known by the general public due to him being a modern indie character, but Shantae will always have the honor of coming first as an indie character.

However, Shantae might not even be able to be considered indie if one looks at the many games WayForward has made. More specifically, LICENCED games

Seniority shouldn't be a reason for any character to get into anything. Seems to always be the last thing most developers care about.

I thought we learned this with Smash.

Not saying Shantae shouldn't appear in the game, but there are far better reasons one could list than seniority.

 

[Yellowlord]

Yeah, I guess I should stop saying she's specifically an indie character (especially with her upcoming Wii U game). She did start out as one, however, and that won't really change to me.

Meh; when it comes to Smash, Sakurai does tend to look at characters from the past (Duck Hunt being one example) in order to honor their history. Sure, Seniority should not play as a top factor for a game appearance in Smash or a cameo in Yooka-Laylee, but Shantae should still get more recognition for the history she has had; it just seems wrong Shovel Knight has gotten more recognition (amiibo, multiple cameos, etc.) compared to Shantae.

 

[Wolfie557]

Shantae's modern games are slightly underrated, imo.

It's not his fault Headbutt kept missing because of having a -1 accuracy debuff
Pickup was the ****, you know what's being in a cave without Repels but suddenly your Pokemon picks up one for you? Or getting a second King's ****ing Rock? The dude even soloed Morty's gym with a simple Shadow Claw TM
Abusing Exp. Share to train a Farfetch'd, never used one before so let's see how that goes
Also have a Meowth with Pickup now but she'll never be as good as the Za Hando Aipom

 

[Z25]

ChikoLad I know you play it, so I have a question about download.

The Chinese Smash bros game, is there anyway to get it on IOS? I've only seen ways to get it on Android.

When Sakurai pulls a character from the past, it isn't because they are an old character, but because that specific character has interesting merits as a character to warrant bringing them back to the limelight.

Also, getting in because that character had historical influence is not the same as getting in because of seniority. You didn't say Shantae should be in Yooka-Laylee because she had more historical influence on the indie scene than Shovel Knight, you said she should get in because she's older than Shovel Knight. That's like saying you should give a "Best Entrepreneur" award to a man who created 5 moderately successful products in the last 10 years, over the guy who made 7 hugely successful products in the last 2 years, because the former man started first.

 

[Opossum]

Really excited about Shovel Knight in Yooka-Laylee. He fits in so well too!

While I will admit in what I said about me stating she should get in due to being around longer then Shovel Knight, I also meant to consider her historical influence on the indie world. She has made an impact on it in more ways then one, which is why I believe she should get some more recognition to recognize that influence she had on future indie titles years later.
