Besides the body shape, they're naturally strong runners, often known for archery and being majestic(much like horses). Centaurus was named after this, of course.
And of course, there's Sagittarius. XD

W/E happens don't panic...
Greek Mythological creatures horses body with a human torso...A centaur is often depicted as the Astrological Sagitarius...
One famous centaur was Chiron from the Iliad (a book I've still yet to read) who has mentored Achilles...
They've made several appearances in films such as Hercules, Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia...
Additionally....they have a reputation for....doing things.......mainly to women....
At least Chiron was a lot nicer....

They were called Kentauros by the Greeks.

Yeah RAW was pretty amazing last night. That said, I see no reason why Smackdown shouldn't be good.
They have a solid roster, we don't really know what they have planned for Ambrose and the rest of the top guys, and the NXT debuts (the ladies and AA) should be cool.
It probably won't top RAW, but it should be a solid show anyway.

Pichu and Young Link are probably easier to do because, you know, they're clones.
Curious Villager
Puzzles...
Plus, their pretty much the perfect characters to test the waters with on making new characters, especially at this stage of Smash 4 modding. I'm fairly sure we will eventually see the other veterans brought back as well at some point....

Philosophical question of the day:
Is it possible to be a fan of a specific movie/game, but without being a fan of the said movie/game's series ?
Is it possible to be a fan of a specific movie/game, but without being a fan of the said movie/game's series ?
Yes. Especially if that movie/game is very unique compared to the other entries into the series.
Movies I'd say yes straight out. Like I enjoy watching Catching Fire. It's a great movie! But I'm not a fan of the rest of the series.
Games are a bit harder because their quality and content don't fluctuate as much between each entry. Usually if you like a game in a series the rest of the games in that series are similarly enjoyable. For example loving any of the 3D Mario games usually leads to you liking the series due to how similar they are. But then that doesn't constitute over into 2D Mario always. So yes in that sense.

I'm becoming a fan of Mario and Luigi, but I'm not a fan of most Mario games. Does that count?

I guess, though you should play to the other entries of the M&L games.
Speaking of that, I'm a huge fan of Superstar Saga.
Then I played Partners in Time, which was underwhelming and depressing, especially after such a colorful and enjoyable game as SS.
Then I played Bowser's Inside Story, which I found pretty fun.
And I've yet to play the 3DS ones.
Well, you should play to other entries of the series, to see if you're a fan too or not.

Yes.
For example (I'm not sure if it's a good one), I am fan of first three Paper Mario games, but I am no longer fan of the series due to it's current direction.

Yeah.
I mean, even if you are fan, you likely won't like every game/movie in huge franchises because they all differ so wildly after a point. Or they just get stale.

Well personally, I'm not going to play a series to see 'if I'm a fan'...but there are other supposedly good games from the franchise I would like to try out such as VI, VIII, IX...Probably going to play the first Final Fantasy if I get the NES mini...
Might as well...
-Smash NX
-Metroid Prime 4
-Metroid 5
-Metroid 2 Remake
-Metroid x Evolve crossover multiplayer
-FFVIIR
-FFXV
-Mass Effect Andromeda
-More Zelda is always nice
-F-Zero NX
-More Pokemon
note this is going by the assumption the NX is a hybrid handheld/home console, also only listing unconfirmed titles...

The ride never ends.
Anyway, this looks semi-plausible. I wouldn't bet money on it, but there may be some truth to it.

Yes it is.
For example, one of my top three movies this year is Deadpool. I only vaguely knew about Deadpool, but I absolutely loved the movie.
If anything, it should tell you how good of a product it is. It stands on its own.

If this turns out to be wrong, Tama should just get fired from Unseen64 or whatever it was

This just flies in the face of every single thing Nintendo, Iwata, Reggie, etc. have said about the NX to this point. I'm not buying it.

When it comes to liking stuff, you can be as arbitrary as you want.

I mean, if you can dislike a game or movie without hating its series, I'm pretty sure the opposite can also be true
If Serebii doesn't believe them, I see no reason for anyone else to do so
It's like I always say: "if it ain't Serebii confirmed it ain't legit"

A tweet from Eurogamer writer
A hybrid could (technically) mean:
>Mainline Pokemon on console
>Fire Emblem on console
>Zelda on the go
>grand 3d Mario like galaxy on the go.
>A portable smash (which is already awesome) without the lost content of splitting a game
etc
If nintendo manages to get the execution right this has the potential to be amazing. . . of course Nintendo tends to fail at capitalizing.
Also someone on gaf said
"How about we call it tge Portable Nintendo Entertainment System"
Here's the Nintendo NX design (NB: not Nintendo's illustration, but useful pic of concept) https://t.co/zPMrglRVov pic.twitter.com/nZQuLj2DAH

Some may be disappointed it's not a traditional console and this is STILL rumor-y as hell but it's worth keeping an eye on.
Though it is a rumor, if this is what they end up doing then it still makes sense to me from the perspective of business. The last cutting edge home console they made (cutting edge for its time) was the Gamecube, specs wise. It was beaten by the Xbox in this field but regardless, for its time it was cutting edge, had good low licensing fees, good third party merit, all of that, and they were burned for it anyways. The Gamecube was operating them at a loss and that was the last time they've ever tried to do that with a console again.
all I'll say is I don't believe anything until I see it from the N themselves but if this is the reality I can't say I'm surprised. Given how many more people are buying Nintendo Handhelds vs. Nintendo consoles, this is likely their departure from traditional console experiences.
