So FE Warriors comes out a week before Odyssey, while Forces comes out a week after Odyssey. Meanwhile Pokemon USM launches around 2 weeks after Forces.

I'm gonna have to plan this out and save money (though I'm 90% sure I'm skipping out on FEW for now until it gets a price drop).

That made me realize that they're going to full "**** yo wallet mode" soon.

-They release FEW, it sells decently
-Mario Odyssey comes next with full force
-Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon comes out in November with great but no so great sales, not affecting Odyssey's momentum as is a different console.
-By (probably) December Xenoblade 2 gets released as the Mario hype dies down.
-Then by 2018 they can coast on Splatoon, ARMS, BotW and FEW DLC (with the later having non-Fateswakening characters to attract more people) until a Metroid Prime 4 focused E3 along with Pokémon Switch and maaaaybe Smash Bros.

Nintendo gon print money again and feel safe at least until 2019.

It's actually hilarious going through YouTube comments and seeing how salty people are about Raiden in Injustice 2. It's actually ridiculous how mad some people are considering that Mortal Kombat has a DC Comic of their own.

If you want my opinion, I didn't NEED Raiden but I'm certainly not totally against his inclusion. He'll be fun and I'll play the hell out of him. These people on YouTube though, hoo, they're in there calling Ed Boon a ****head. It's so dumb. Like Ed Boon is too ignorant to understand that it'd cause some controversy. Of course he knew, he also knows Raiden will bring in more money than Static or someone more obscure. It's just a corporate decision.

All this kinda reminds me of the Smash DLC honestly.

Now I absolutely didn't know I needed Hell Boy but I NEED him. It makes me REALLY NEED Spawn more than ever. Oh man this game is so close to being perfect. All I need is Spawn.

I don't really have strong feelings one way or another about Raiden's inclusion (if they wanted an electricity user, there's Static Shock or Shazam, and I'm sure that there are plenty more but I know very little about DC), but his redesign is weird, between the mask covering the area around his eyes (which is already mostly covered by the hat) and his suit being the male equivalent of Power Girl's.

I've got no problems with guest characters being included (I love the inclusion of Jason, Alien, and Predator in MKX, I'm considering buying Tekken 7 for Akuma and Geese, and I'm a fan of all of the guest characters in Brawl and Smash 4), but I feel like Sub-Zero already covers the idea of including a major Mortal Kombat character.

Don't forget the possibility of showing Fire Emblem Switch.
That being said, Mario Odyssey, Sonic Forces, Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade 2, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon, Pokken DX, Metroid Samus Returns.....boy, the holidays are going to be packed for Nintendo fans.

Apparently you can delete and redownload the Pokken demo for 15 more matches. . .i wouldnt know because it isnt available here yet but GAF says so.

And Monolith's new project. At this point I think they have stuff figured out all the way to 2020.

I just got my Dissidia NT beta code. Seems to be a US code, so I assume codes are region locked?

I pre-ordered the game on the Square Enix European store which is supposed to get you a code as well, but I haven't got one regarding that yet. I was under the impression that was a guaranteed code so I hope I didn't misinterpret that.

 

[Opossum]

You said so yourself.


Empoleon.

I was kinda hping Decidueye or Lucha Pika werw gonna be available and when they werent, I lost intrest in the demo

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I'm guessing pack 3 will be Spawn, a DC character and an MK character.

Mortal Kombat characters in Injustice is dumb. Yes I know they're made by the same guys but they don't fit in at all.

I don't think another Mortal Kombat character is coming honestly. If anyone else from MK got in it'd be Cyrax and that's a looong shot. Like, bottom of the barrel long shot. It's not dumb though, Sure, they don't always fit in perfectly but a lot of people, including myself, enjoy seeing MK crossover characters. You can tell that there is a definite rift in the people who play it solely cause it's DC and those who play it because it's a fun fighting game.

My guess is it'll be Atom, Spawn, and Enchantress. So far none of the silhouettes have lied and the only one of those 3 that don't have an incredibly noticable silhouette is Spawn but considering Hell Boy got in I figure Spawn's a pretty safe bet.

I don't really have strong feelings one way or another about Raiden's inclusion (if they wanted an electricity user, there's Static Shock or Shazam, and I'm sure that there are plenty more but I know very little about DC), but his redesign is weird, between the mask covering the area around his eyes (which is already mostly covered by the hat) and his suit being the male equivalent of Power Girl's.

I would have been fine with any of those electric users but I'm also fine with Raiden but that's really only because I have no affinity with either of the others. Actually, I feel Shazam could easily be a premier skin for Black Adam, and I really want that to happen.

But yeah, Raiden's redesign is a bit weird. I imagine Jim Lee did it since he did Scorpion and Sub-Zero and a lot of the time his designs are hit or miss.

I love Freddy Krueger, Jason, Alien, and Predator; and Leatherface is... Ok. A lot of people are ok with those characters because they fit. I won't say MK characters fit but even characters that would fit like Spawn or Hell Boy are **** on by the Injustice fanbase. It's VERY strange.

 

[Opossum]

I mean it'd be great if Decidueye were in the demo, but it makes sense why he's not.

He's the only completely new Pokémon (i.e., not from the arcade updates). Tons of people would try the demo out of curiosity, play him, and never buy the full version. Keeping him off the demo keeps the curiosity alive.

Apparently the Batman movie won't be part of the DCEU?

Can anyone give me one good reason the DCEU exists? This is getting ****ing ridiculous.

Of course, if this means they're replacing Jared Leto as Joker then that cool.

man I would be useless in the army. I cant snipe on splatoon for ****

Honestly a Joker with "Damaged" tatooed on a prominent place on themselves is bad enough that I'd rather have Nomura's Joker than that mess.

For the record, Nomura's idea of how to design Batman characters is kind of unhinged as it is.

[Tree Gelbman]

Honestly, the DCEU is a god damn disaster. I had hopes they'd gotten on track considering Wonder Woman, but sadly, everything is pointing to a behind the scenes mess and they just got lucky with Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot.

 

[Schnee117]

I mean we've had news about Martin Scorsese doing a Joker origin film where Leto won't play the Joker.

****, that is one weird looking Joker

At least he isn't "DAMAGED"

 

[Megadoomer]

Apparently the Batman movie won't be part of the DCEU?

From what I've read, it means that it will stand on its own, like how Wonder Woman didn't have anything to do with the previous movies aside from the presence of Wonder Woman and a small callback to Batman v. Superman at the very beginning.

Nomura's designs either are simple or very out there. His Batman designs and the armor design he gave to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate are some examples of out there, but even if they are out there, it doesn't mean they are bad. Heck, these two shots of Nomura's Joker are actually pretty cool.

Spoiler

These two pictures definitely stood out the most and actually give a cool looking Joker. The other ones, especially the one with an "old" Joker, don't look as good

 

[Tree Gelbman]

If Wonder Woman didn't have a bit of ''She's already met Batman" in the prologue and epilogue and Justice League wasn't already in the can?

I'd just say they should say ''**** IT" and reboot off of Wonder Woman, but alas...

Nope. We're in a tangled mess and I don't see how they'll get out of it.

I'm personally not a fan of these "cinematic universe" concepts. Marvel handles theirs well enough, but even then I'm not a fan.

It's kinda anti-consumer. You're expected to keep up with the movies of all the super heroes to fully understand all of the others. It's forcing you to watch movies of characters you might not care about to fully understand the movie of the character you care about. It's just more time and money for the consumer, and not every consumer is going to want to.

It also just usually is very hard to do well, like a lot of the time things get connected in contrived ways and plotholes arise and etc, etc.

That said, a friend of mine and I sometimes throw around ideas for a Nintendo cinematic universe, since he's a big movie buff and his eyes lit up at the idea of Nintendo making movies with their IPs.

Good cause I think Mortal Kombat is dumb.

i think ur dumb mr triple poster

No you're dumb mr. single poster.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I have never once felt Marvel's franchises require you to watch the others to really understand each other.

You could just watch a single franchise and probably understand it. The only one you're probably gonna be somewhat confused by is The Avengers franchise and that's really it, but then those movies are the culmination of a punch of franchises coming together.

Even Captain America: Civil War can be watched without having to watch other movies and that's pretty much Avengers 2.5.

And then the movies that take place after and reference stuff in Avengers which means you gotta watch those.

The Hulk is the only one you never need to see cause nobody in that movie returned.

 

[ChikoLad]

wow rude, wat right do you have to hurl insults at us single posters, you should check your privelege, not all of us can triple post

Spoiler

I'll just stop myself here.

 

[praline]

It isn't I just checked.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Small references to past films does not equal mass confusion. Like Captain America 3 is easily the most affected by an Avengers film movie and even there you're pretty much just told in that movie alone ''These guys are a group of heroes and they leave a patch of destruction behind them, so now they want to do something about it."

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It isn't I just checked.

hm, I guess it comes out later. the one on JP store is up and thats in english when you get it. thats where I got mine

The Famitsu scans featuring the recent Fire Emblem Warriors news have been released. They revealed Hinoka, Camilla, Takumi, and Leo's FE:Warriors arts as well as some new pictures of them from the game:

It's worth noting that Takumi's Warriors art is the only one that isn't a 3D version of his official art compared to the other Fates characters. Instead, his Warriors arts resembles one of his artworks from Fire Emblem Cipher, particularly this card:

Main difference when comparing the two is that his Warriors art is mirrored and features his normal Archer clothing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And it looks like we have more gameplay footage of the newly revealed characters for FE:Warriors. Particular points of interest in this video are more Leo and Camilla gameplay, as well as how Takumi starts his double musou.

Leo shows up from 7:03 onward in the video.

At first I hated Takumi and loved Leo.. Then at the end of conquest I thought Takumi was cute and Leo was hot... Now they are both hot to me... IS why
