Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[mario123007]

Now that the day has cooled down I'll post some tiny thoughts.
Nintendo took the checkered flag of the E3; no gimmicks, no overly long segments. Just a rapid fire of epicness.
I'll be honest, I loved the Robot Chicken and Muppets stuff, but keeping it simple was the answer today, even if Reggie looked serious af.
Definetly getting a Switch in the future; I need to play Pokèmanz, Odyssey (****ing beautiful game, the trailer left me with a deep lasting feeling of hapiness) and of course Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

XC2, man, it looks great, seeing more characters convinced me of the artstyle.
-Having multiple titans and returning species (glares at Territorial Rotbart) makes me feel at home but with some extra spice, hope the Telethia also return.

-The Driver/Blade system seems cool, I still need to understand it more but Im digging what I saw, Im gonna miss my big*** Art Palette but this one is fine as it allows you to change StandsBlades mid-combat to rotate movesets and use more elements.

-Rex feels kinda bland tbh ("TAKE THIIIIIIIIIS"), atm he looks like a dude that set on a worldwide adventure by touching a redhead's boobs. I think Shulk is a great character that developed nicely, but also is the weakest of his group, that's why Im not worried on Rex being bland, specially because Nia and Tora look rad.

-Pyra: My Hunger Games Champ, a cutie with a cool mature voice but a top kek design; her outfit is skimpy as hell and her bust wants to rival Camilla's, I forgive that thanks to that pretty face but I hope you can customize her armor, but with her status as a Blade, I dunno.
I also hope she has a wide moveset of her own because if her story develops nicely I would put her as a fav candidate for Smash.

Despite I love Super Mario Odyssey, but I actually want Xenoblade Chronicles 2 more.

The artstyle is definitely something that is worth of arguing, I personally have not problems with the anime artstyle since I am used to it already. By the way, anime style can be vary, from Chibi to realistic all count as anime. Saitou style fits my taste so I am fine with it. If anyone is curious, yeah, Saitou draws NSFW artworks too. Check it at your own risk.

The Driver/Blade system was the thing I was worried before the trailer. Most people thought It will be Pyra turn into blade and let Rex use. We also seen another girl Hikari who is also a blade, which also made us even speculating all blades are girls... it will be a disaster if it happens. After the trailer, I think this system is pretty cool, river use the blade while the blade character still stands and aids the driver. I'm sure Pyra is still visible when Rex use her blade, as have seen the "Militray unifrom girl" damages her core. By the way, it seems that Driver character can have more than one blade character, check the Treehouse live to see the other two.

Rex voice does sound bland, the others were okay. I can't wait to hear Nia and Tora's voice.

I have also finish watching the Treehouse gameplay. We get to know more details:
From Mynintendonews

Players can also expect to see a simpler version of the arts palette, with new battle techniques including the ability to topple enemies and relaunch them into the air, along with a blade combo attack which can be unleashed for maximum damage. Other gameplay details include:

• Enemies will not alert the player as to when they spot you – players are supposed to study enemy patterns and behaviours, learning how to fight them through experience.
• The world has a lot of diversity – between titans, species and the lifestyles the people who inhabit the towns lead.
• Day / Night and Weather Cycles return
• Rising and falling of the tides will allow you to gain access to certain places you may not have been able to access before.
• You don’t have direct control over your party members, but you can swap between them.
• When you die you are set back to your latest checkpoint.

Interestingly enough, Takahashi revealed that the game is built upon the same engine as Xenoblade Chronicles X, allowing the development time to be much quicker than initially planned. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will launch on the Nintendo Switch during Winter 2017.

I was initially disappointed a bit that the old art palette is gone, but the new one looks way more simpler and I say it's pretty snappy?
Now you can launch enemies that are being toppled (Rather than daze), also performing combo attacks. Nice
No more of those alerts that tells you the enemies will spot you or attracted by sound. I have to play to see if this is good or not.
The third part about Day/Night and weather cycle, not surprised.
They also said how the world is so huge but you can still access other other landmarks without loading, this is a big jump from the first game. BTW, skip travel are obviously still there.
I could get annoyed by the rising and falling of tides, but we'll see.
I'm guessing it should say the blade characters? You can swap your blade in mid battle.
The last part is nothing unusual...

So this is the reason why XC2 can come only 2 years after XCX, this is an interesting part. The X engine was good already.

Xenoblade 2 does lean a little too much into the generic light novel/anime style with the character designs, which is easily my biggest issue with the game so far.

But hopefully the rest of the game is great.

EDIT: Oh and the voice acting is... Pretty damn awful, not gonna lie.

Don't know why you think anime like this links with light novels... I mean compare it to manga's there isn't really much difference. I do aware not everyone is going like the style, but I do say this is probably the thing we all have to get used to.
I also have some guess on why they go with anime style this time:
- Attract Japanese audience more, especially anime audience.
- Anime style face can show expressions more greatly and significant. XC's didn't have a great facial design, and neither did X honestly.

I can only agree with you on Rex, I think others are okay.

So I woke up this morning thinking:

"Man, I've had the best dream where Nintendo announced TWO new Metroid games, one being Prime 4 and another being Return of Samus on the 3DS."

This is still so surreal to me, and how fitting that the first main Metroid adventure in years is 'Samus Returns' because DAMN RIGHT SHE DOES!!!

Looks pretty bland.

Sakurai: Chrom, we need you in Smash.
Chrom: Have I finally proven myself worthy?
Sakurai: Well, yes, but only because the rest of the roster is dead. You'll be joined by Wolf, Pichu, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Snake in the reboot.
Chrom: I suppose I should count my blessings. Do I get an amiibo?
Sakurai: About that...

"We were making one for you, but then this Rotary Telephone with Legs walked in..."

For once, my terrible joke is relevant; Google called, they want their Chrom back.

 

[mario123007]

It's not a surprise that Xenoblade Chronicles 2's Pyra starting to get many fanarts.

This one I found funny but also a bit NSFW at the bottom, so I have to censor Pyra's bust, sorry.
So this is what happens if Mario accidentally possessed Pyra...

You can pretty much guess why Mario was astonished. It's also cool to see Pyra's pupil change to Mario's pupil.

Sorry, but there's no one to pick up the phone.

Because it killed everybody who tried.

Welp, someone post it before me.

Tough, is showing the full image is really that big of a deal? They are not that big and are covered. So I don't think you will have problem, but hey, maybe I'm wrong. (Also, I love this image and I can't wait to see more in the futur)

Speaking of Mario.

Urgh, I think I am going to die from nostalgia at this point...

It's beautiful.

Here's a new Wooden Plank comic for those who are disappointed of lack of Smash news:

Superstar Saga <3
I adore this game. This game made up most of my childhood, really. The world is massive and it's extremely fun to play. It's seriously one of the best games I've ever played.

Makes me wanna replay it when I have the time lol. But first I should probably focus on completing RPGs that I've never finished before...like Earthbound

The "Ridley is 2 big" jokes will never die, isn't it?

But...I won't lie this picture make chuckle. Poor Rayman tough.

ALL Fire Emblem amiibo work with Warriors
Meaning Alm and Celica work too

Nah I don't want to take the risk.

Of all the games in the Direct, Warriors did the least for me. Doesn't look very interesting at the moment.

Alright then.

Still, it's kinda scary to think that, if you don't have a hat. Mario can possess you at any time he want.

Most peoples of New Donk City know since alot of them have hats, but for the few that dont...

But hey, this give us this wonderful fanart, so I can't complaint.

 

[Coricus]

Weren't there THREE game announcements Nintendo was going to make post-Spotlight? I only remember them showing off two.

. . .I wonder what 3DS game they're going to show us over the next couple of days.

 

[Radical Bones]

There is a new Samus amiibo coming for Samus Returns, as well as a Metroid amiibo WHICH IS MADE FROM SQUISHY MATERIAL!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BCPx2SX7Hk&t=171s

See the end of the video. The whole video is good though.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

AAAAAAA
WE MUST BOW DOWN TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR NEFCY
ANIMATION'S BETTER
TOM'S BACK AND HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT'S STILL INTACT, PLUS A MAJOR FOCUS
AND WEDDIE WEDDY WEDDO @wedl!! THEY INCLUDED THE TRANSGENDER METAPHOR CHARACTER FROM THE BOOK

It's actually squishy? That's a nice touch. Will make the lifesucking monster even more adorable.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

I hope the true reason a Kass amiibo is not revealed yet is because they're still finetuning the internal radio that plays Kass' theme 24/7

 

[Cutie Gwen]

HOLY **** EO COMES OUT IN 9 DAYS
GOOD LORD TALK ABOUT TERRIBLE MARKETING

Ok I'll start: I think websites that have to explain in a radio commercial how to type their url are the worst type of marketeers

 

[Opossum]

so...Celica announcement when?

Honestly Alm, Celica, Roy, and Ike are basically locks for DLC for their amiibo alone.

Super Mario Odyssee's lyrical theme gets 100000x better if you pretend it's actually a duet between Pauline and Bayonetta

Who wears the pants in that hypothetical relationship? The mayor or the dominatrix?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Who wears the pants in that hypothetical relationship? The mayor or the dominatrix?

It's obviously Madama Butterfly

 

[Deleted member]

I hope they manage to convince me of buying FEW, otherwise I'll just get Fate/Extella and call it a day
I'm hoping for at least Camus because he's, like, the one character they should include after Marmar and Tiki(who I believe is kinda confirmed thanks to the amiibo)

It's... so bland.
Like, it's literally character artwork thrown into a gray background but without anything flashy or something.
The HW boxart was great how did they **** this up so badly?

reminder: Smash Bros. Brawl wasn't shown during Nintendo's main conference at E3 2006, only afterwards. Same deal with Pac-Man's reveal for Smash 4.

I'm still hoping we see Sm4sh DX today or tomorrow.

 

[Chrono.]

So people were saying yesterday that Sonic Forces on Switch runs on 30fps on handheld mode, but it turns out it runs at that in both handheld and docked mode.

Not a huge deal for me, the game itself looks pretty good on Switch (although I noticed some dips when there's too many explosions going on) and I was fine with 30fps Generations.

That said, I still don't know what console to get it on.

We got one game left to go for a reveal IIRC.

If we see another game revealed, that's it, it's done until the next round of game reveals in a Direct or whatever. But Nintendo has laid out our wiggle room for hope for the time being.

I'm betting the other game is that Kirby multiplayer we're supposed to be getting on 3DS by the end of the year.

Probably, to be honest if they didn't touch on it during the Spotlight it's probably a 3DS game.

My hope's pretty much dead for any more Switch games until at least the next Direct whenever that happens, I just feel like clarifying the current status.

 

[Aurane]

Scizor's Burst Attack though.

Turns into ****ing Tabuu and empowers imagination.

 

[Wolfie557]

Honestly Alm, Celica, Roy, and Ike are basically locks for DLC for their amiibo alone.

Male Corin too then.

I wanna see the magic users and any pegasus characters. Also Lucina shpuld be there...one more sword character ain't bad.

Speaking of Lucina..wheres Robin haha. Also wanna see Tiki! And Anna! I hope the trailers are as frequent as the Hyrule Warriors reveale...

Pretty sure they confirmed it was 3DS

But I like Jackie though. The new intro is definitely great though. Kelly's adorable at the end.

I'm hoping for at least Camus because he's, like, the one character they should include after Marmar and Tiki(who I believe is kinda confirmed thanks to the amiibo)

Camus should be behind Caeda at the very least when it comes to Archanea characters.
