Cool update for the PS4 Pro

Spoiler: Boost Mode

You'll be able to improve the performance for games even when they don't have a pro patch.

Also

Spoiler: Mario Run vs FE Heroes

So Super Mario Run ultimately made more money, but it wasn't Gatcha so investors didn't like it?

 

[A Distant Demon]

So Super Mario Run ultimately made more money, but it wasn't Gatcha so investors didn't like it?

Mario Run made all of its money in the short term

Investors are more hopeful for the extremely popular (and profitable) gacha over a long period.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

So Super Mario Run ultimately made more money, but it wasn't Gatcha so investors didn't like it?

I imagine that the investors must like the idea of a more continued revenue stream that can come from a gacha game. It also shows the FE is still kinda weak as a brand outside Japan.

 

[Coricus]

*sees NeoGAF thread title*

Why is Nintendo lying about Xenoblade 2 release date?

I see we've ran out of problems we actually know we have and are moving on to completely hypothetical things to refer to as fact and complain about. That's a good sign, LOL.

 

[Kurri ★]

So Super Mario Run ultimately made more money, but it wasn't Gatcha so investors didn't like it?

I'm no expert, but I'd imagine it partly has to do with despite how much money Mario Run made, relative to how many people downloaded it, it didn't do too amazing.

Whereas FE: Heroes, a Gacha game, seems more stable for money making.

Now again, that's just my layperson opinions on it

Got enough orbs to do another pull today:

Spoiler

First 5 stars I've pulled. I was hoping to get any of the focus characters but Camilla but I'm happy with this overall.

Since we're talking about mobile stuff, it's always important to note that small section of "whales" often account the majority of the revenue the app makes. Gacha games are really good making "whales" since it hits those same pleasure centers in the brain like gambling does.

Where do you get your friend code?

[Knight Dude]

To lighten the mood, here's a Smash hypothetical.

You were brought aboard by Sakurai to choose new characters for a Smash 4 Switch port. When asked how many, Sakurai smirks and says five. Five! Wow! Before now you thought that impossible...but there's a catch.

You must pick:

- One returning veteran
- One newcomer from an already-present Nintendo series
- One newcomer from a new Nintendo series
- One new third party character (must be an unrepresented franchise and must have appeared on a Nintendo system)
- ...And a Fire Emblem character.

Under these circumstances, which five characters would you pick?


Edit: Also Manly's challenge since I've been Ninja'd.

Wolf
Sylux(Dark Samus if assists can be upgraded, have her be like Wolf in that most moves feel different)
Inkling
Simon Belmont
Black Knight, only cause I don't know too much about Fire Emblem

Also, yeah I've been away for about a day and I'm trying to catch up.

What kind of money did you bribe Anna with to get a pull like that? My best so far is one 5, three 4s, and a 3!

Then again, I've only done two pulls...

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Here's my Fire Emblem Heroes friend code if you want it.

Also, thank you for the birthday wishes guys.

So here's a thing:

Excluding anything based off superheroes and/or anime, what's your favorite licensed game?

While it'd be easy for me to say Ducktales, I'm going with the PC version of Disney's Dinosaur.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Dinosaur

I actually had a lot of fun as a Dino-fanatic-kid. Not sure how it holds up today, but the music is nice.

I remember playing the game based off the first Cars movie a whole lot. Mainly enjoyed just ramming into other cars.

Battlefront 2.

Great maps, a single player campaign (**** the Coruscant mission though), space battles, Galactic Conquest, a variety of game modes, having music from the films play for hero units like Darth Maul and Obi-Wan oh and the variety of eras instead of limiting it to the OT.

At least EA's Battlefront 2 is finally adding more eras. Better include the Clone Wars.
only for an extra £50 because it's a DICE game

SW KOTOR

I loved that game.

Another choice would be TMNT: Turtles in Time

I guess ditto for Battlefront 2 for me

The only other I can think of would be Forza, but that's sorta cheating being that it's a racing game. I'd also imagine Kingdom Hearts is cheating too, or does that not count as a licensed game?

Speaking of Battlefront, I'm actually really excited to see what DICE has planed for Battlefront 2 (or whatever they plan to call it).
Battlefront EA had issues, but I feel like it's a great foundation for much more. I just think DICE needs to incorporate more from the Battlefield series rather than making it a streamlined experience. Doubt anyone would really complain about a Battlefront game feeling like a Battlefield game.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

The thing is, how good is Scrooge's Toon Force compared to Mickey or Donald?

I think that would really dictate if he's a match for Shovel Knight.

Now that Shantae's lost a good opponent for her.

 

[Schnee117]

They can always use characters again
See: Batman, Deadpool and Shadow

You may be right. What's stopping them from using more shovelry?

There's also Lilac and Quote. Anyone from Undertale would be a too big of a stomp.

First that comes to mind is Wrestlemania 19

The actual gameplay isnt spectacular, but the roster is absurdly good, you would think it's a dream roster.

 

[Deleted member]

No she didn't.

For one, fighters can be used more than once. Leonardo, Batman, Shadow the Hedgehog, Charizard (though technically, they were two different Charizard), and Deadpool all had 2 matches.

Two, fighters are paired against each other due to similarities with one another.
Shovel Knight and Shantae don't have that many similarities to warrant a match between them.

And before you say Scrooge and SK have little similarities, here's straight from the Trivia page for Death Battle on TVTropes:
"Both Scrooge and Shovel Knight are cartoony treasure hunters with a clear sense of fair play in doing their job, while using rather improbable weapons that allow them to bounce off of enemies with dive attacks."

You may be right. What's stopping them from using more shovelry?

Use other characteristics than "indie star" for possible opponents.

Earthquakes, breaking a chunk of the earth with a pickaxe, destroyed a cruise ship, collapsed pillars. Still child's play compared to Mickey Mouse, but he's the freaking mascot. Disney can go crazier with the mouse (Heya kids, let me dance on the Sun and reset universes. Ha-ha!) any day while it's the Netherlands (Did I get it right @WeirdChillFever) that give Scrooge his best feats.

Also, some lower level enemies like Vegetoid, Moldsmal, Whimscott, Froggit, or possibly Jerry wouldn't be too bad. But the other Undertale characters would give Shovel Knight trouble with SOUL manipulation and Determination alone.

Spoiler: Both Genocide and Neutral Rule spoilers

Or even destroying timelines to call it a day like Chara, Flowey, Asriel, and Frisk. Or screwing with the rules like Sans.

I'm very partial to Def Jam FFNY myself actually. It's both a fun arcade style wrestling game plus I get to play as my man Ghostface Killah.

What the hell, that actually happened? What Disney be on when they be doing those animated shorts?

The probable with Undertale in general is the sheer amount of hax or soul manipulation that makes it near impossible to find a good match.

Hell, even Bill Cipher comes to mind as one of the few people that can take on the God Tiers.

Use other characteristics than "indie star" for possible opponents.

Fine, Rouge from Power Stone is the only one that comes to mind.

Only problem, she's got one transformation up her sleeve. Still good enough I guess.

 

[Pazzo.]

Battlefront 2 was a blast.

The quality was so good I didn't even think of it in the typical "B" quality of licensed games.

But Ducktales would be my true pick.

You want your proof, I've got your proof right here.

http://maxfunnies2550.deviantart.co...-Mickey-Mouse-VS-Bugs-Bunny-Prelude-586929006

Mickey literally breaks the rules of logic and reality with his Toon Force. You can say Plot Armor literally saves him for losing or dying in all of his appearances. Even then, Bugs is still better with his Toon Force any day (whether it be cutting states or being the writer of the episode).

Bill is definitely a good character for an Undertale match up. Just as long as it's by actual professionals and not cringe inducing trolls like Cartoon Fight Club.

Me and @KingofPhantoms already stated everything that's wrong with that channel. Sure they argue that he does better research than Death Battle, but his animation is horrible and can border on horrifying or disturbing with BLAMS (Big Lipped Alligator Moments).

Just watch an episode. I dare you. Try not to cringe at least once from each "fight".

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Did a drawing of Kat from Gravity Rush.

Spoiler

Gonna try and make fan-art for every new game I play.

For the love of Arceus, let's just not address the poorly animated, grotesquely drawn, cringing elephant in the room. Cartoon Fight Club deserves little to no mention at all.

And those that seriously think that kid is better than a professional team like Screwattack are just blind meme loving fanboys.

I'd rather watch an accurate, less biased Robbie Rotten vs Waluigi fight without any cringey visuals any day.

my 5 star rates just reset and i only have takumi to blame
(this is the only time blaming takumi has a positive conotation because hes a good 5 star unit)

Wait, Hector can counter at both attack ranges in Heroes? What!?
Also, ****, he's 5*? I'm gonna be getting a lot of axe users before I get my boy

Aaaah. . .playing Smash Bros makes me a tiny bit hyped for a Switch port. Well I mean, assuming it happens, but I like to roll with it for the heck of it.

You just know it's going to have Joy-Con sharing multiplayer support, which I'm a little torn on because on one hand I don't have to buy another controller to share with someone but on the other hand while I'm alright with both the Gamepad and my original model 3DS I CANNOT play with a Wiimote to save my life and that's the closest to what the form factor of a single Joy-Con would be.

The way I see it, the further off it is the more stuff I'm getting, and the sooner it is the sooner it's in my hands. Can't really go wrong either way.

I'm just hoping nothing too important gets lost making it for the Switch. Fortunately I'm not too invested in the Miiverse stage, so that one won't be a super major loss.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Miiverse was a mistake.

That's all that needs to be said.

Oh and the admins of that community are also BS as well.

I got reported once for talking commenting about arenas in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon as a comment about something because of "spoilers."

When have those ever been a spoiler? They're not even plot related.

Fortunately upon my objecting to it they reversed the report. By then I had already started taking a very extended break and now the system has been tweaked enough that both the good and bad of Miiverse don't really function as they did anymore.

All whilst ignoring the sexy pictures or donger (****) drawings that clearly bypass the rules and almost no one reports them at all.

That's another reason why I dislike playing the Miiverse stage in Smash.

When I fought hector in story mode, he was able to take out my lancer AND axe user. But my archer was able to take him out, as well as lyn and a knight. Although he needed help from my healer who actually did more damage to the knight for some reason

On the bright side, even if it was hilariously abused, at least Miiverse HAD a reporting feature.

Unleashing people onto a drawing platform actually gets worse if the report function isn't even built into the app and people are left even more free.
