Welp. I'm genuinely confused as to what the Treehouse could even before tomorrow. They've shown Mario two or three times, Yoshi once (and that's not till 2018 so I can't imagine they can show much), Kirby doesn't even seem to have a playable build yet, so what exactly are they gonna showcase tomorrow?
This is the same company that focused almost exclusively on Zelda last year.

Odyssey will be most of tomorrow too.

They've already said they're being secretive with pretty much every game. So it's either a wasted day of resources or new 3DS/Switch reveals, you got make that day relevant somehow.

Saw this earlier.

Seems rather believable, but this one bit raises some suspicions.

This confused me for a while but a co-worker pointed out later that Disney is producing a Mega Man game and TV show coming out this year so it all made sense to me.
Disney has nothing to do with the new Mega Man cartoon, in fact, it's airing on Cartoon Network.

So apparently that ''New Arms Content" is for tomorrow. Not for today.

Does FE:H really need an internet connection to play?
Yeah, by virtue of being a gacha game. Likely to avoid re-roll abuse, or pulling from certain banners after their expiration date.

That and there's Arena, too.

I wouldn't compare Arms to traditional fighters to begin with...because its not...

Its works a lot like a third person shooter since your 'moveset' is dependant on the weapons you equip, but unlike COD you can choose characters based on their abilities...

MK8D isn't a very competitive focused game because of its chaotic nature, severe lack of balance for those who are not first or last, and the heavy reliance on RNG...Arms is none of these as a competitive game (apart from being pretty chaotic with more than two players, which the same can be said about Smash)

No idea what a gacha game is. I'll look it up later. Anyways thanks.

Just surprised me is all. I was gonna try it on my phone but I'll look for something else. I need something new to play that's preferably an F2P.

Nevertheless, I want to buy the all neon red Joy Cons that is only on Japan Nintendo website. I'm thinking of getting that one in the future.

The problem is, if you do slide them incorrectly, chances are you might be screwed up there...

Well, I notice my right Joy Con's trigger button were slightly flimsy compare to the left. Do you have this problem? The trigger works fine by the way.

One more thing...

Something's not right here... I have refresh my page a lot of times by the way.
Yeah, because I got the opposite Neon Joy-Con set, I can have both controllers be either red or blue. Either combination looks good, but I ended up preferring the default Neon configuration, as I mentioned earlier. Good luck with getting the Neon Red combination.

As long as I keep on checking the plus and minus marks on the straps, I should be good. Lol.

As for the trigger buttons, no, from what I've seen, both the ZL and ZR buttons on my Joy-Con are fine. Just like the warping issue, this could just be a manufacturing variation.

I gotta disagree. It's fair to argue that the more realistically proportioned artstyle of XC and XCX made it harder for the characters to emote facially, but enough came through in their dialogue and actions that I honestly don't think much is gained with the art shift.

Without a major gain, it just feels like they've taken an art direction I adored and dropped it for something they think markets better. If the environments didn't recall the lovingly crafted vistas we saw in XC and XCX, you could've told me it was pulled straight out of Shonen Jump and I wouldn't bat an eye. Put mildly, Rex isn't helping the case.

I'm not going to completely disregard the game for it - can't even call it without precedent, if you look at the styling for its spiritual predecessors, Xenogears and Xenosaga, this seems more like a return to form than anything - but after genuinely enjoying XC and XCX for their character design (former more than latter) I just can't call the change appreciated.

All personal opinion, but I ain't really feeling it.

Still need to catch up on the treehouse. Here's hoping the gameplay can bring me back on board the hype train.
This indeed really depends on people's preference. I don't enjoy XC character's facial artstyle that much, not to mention with the low resolution of the new 3ds makes the look even more blurry. I know there are HD mods for the game, but even that I merely give it a pass. X on the other hand sometimes I found it pretty good but more times I think it looks dull.
To sum it up, despite I didn't enjoy XC and X's artstyle, I didn't really care that much when playing the game. Only when I watch the cutscenes that I found the artstyle not fitting my taste. Nevertheless I love the dialogue in those cutscenes.
However, I do say this, if you never really enjoy the typical anime cell shaded CGI JRPG games artstyle like Tales of Berseria, Dragon Quest XI, Persona 5. I can understand it, but saying Xenoblade should not have anime artstyle feels a bit of a selfish statement, at least for me. Xenoblade is a JRPG, and it is not a surprise that it has that kind of artstyle.
Said before, I personally enjoy the new artstyle of XC2 but the voice acting is a bit of a down grade compare to the previous games. But I have to play the game to make sure. Once again, I believe they want to attract Japanese audiences more than West since Xenoblade is the more popular in the latter compared to the former
Xenoblade is still roughly a young franchise, I am sure there will be more visual shifts for the future games.

Gacha just refers to any game where you roll for characters and can use money to get the items necessary to get more characters. The biggest example being Kantai Collection. But there are also other similar games like Touken Ranbu, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Fire Emblem Heroes, Fate Grand Order, etc.
Basically, open the Mystery Box and get a Waifu/Husbando. Didn't get the one you wanted? Work hard to get the items to open the Mystery Box again to have another chance or pay money to open again right away and have a chance of getting them.

People have been comparing Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle to the XCOM series. So Game Informer reached out to the creative director of XCOM for a reaction. He likes it.

You know what's funniest part of all this? Both Mario + Rabbids & XCOM 2's expansion pack were shown at E3 and BOTH ARE RELEASING ON THE EXACT SAME DAY! :laugh:

The problem is that Nintendo themselves are trying to market the game as an e-sports viable fighter. If they weren't doing that, nobody would compare it to other fighters.

And when I said it's like Mario Kart but for fighters, I meant how the characters are designed mechanically - they all play roughly the same, but have different stats to make them feel slightly different. You can equip different arms to modify your stats and punches, which is like how Mario Kart has vehicle parts that modify stats.

Then beyond that, each character simply has a special trait to differentiate them from each other.

The game is incredibly simplistic like Mario Kart. It doesn't need to be marketed as a competitive fighter.

Honestly I call BS.

Disney is notoriously hands-off with their approach to Marvel stuff. I can't see them interfering in something like this.
This, that and the whole thing sounds ridiculous. That's almost Konami levels of stupidity that I can't see Disney, one of the richest companies in the world care for. They know they movies will rake a crap ton more then some game, they wouldn't care how good it is as the movies are very different and people are more familiar with them.
Welp. I'm genuinely confused as to what the Treehouse could even before tomorrow. They've shown Mario two or three times, Yoshi once (and that's not till 2018 so I can't imagine they can show much), Kirby doesn't even seem to have a playable build yet, so what exactly are they gonna showcase tomorrow?

Please Smash.... It be an almost closer surprise and kind of makes sense with their big tournaments this year. Imagine if there is actually a secret Smash tourney being held tomorrow. More then likely not true, but people would flip.

Can we at least get a Ultra Sun and Moon Trailer or demo please?

Honestly I can't see ARMS developing a competitive community. Like, at all.

Not knocking the game at all, but it has so much going against it from a design standpoint that I can't see it fostering "hardcore" competition. Again, not a bad thing, but I think a lot of people, Nintendo included, are trying to market it as something it's not.

To be fair though, the same could be said (and has been said for Smash). I'd rather just wait and see, at the very least, it may have a short lived, but fun competitive life.

I'm somewhat surprised there is no Mario and Sonic title for the PyeongChang Olympics. I guess either sales haven't been strong enough to continue the series, or it's even possible Sega and Nintendo might be holding off for 2020, because those Games are in Tokyo, and I would think they would go all out for a game based on their home Games. Anyways, I'm Totally digging Eagle in KI and Sub Zero in Injustice 2(I'm glad he's retained a good chunk of his MK move set.)

Perhaps it is, not sure if that counts as a minor defect or not.

I mean. I'd like to think they're better than that.

It's not like we haven't had Korean characters in Japanese games before.

I really can't see that being a factor tbh.

Nintendo is a business and businesses exist to generate income. They can get over a bit of bad blood to make a video game as long as they predict it making some stone cold cash.
