Retweet this if you want to get everyone 5 Orbs and 5,000 Hero Feathers in FE Heroes. 50K retweets is the target.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Also the Dissidia beta actually got an update, it apparently fixed the softlock bug when matchmaking, and it might have improved the latency (hearing mixed reports on the latter though).

According to the FE Heroes datamine, a Support System is being added to the game under Advanced Growth.

Also people now think there could be an FE anime on the way due to a potential teaser on Lucina's artwork.

Don't tease me like this, IS, don't you ****ing dare.
I'll be all over it if it's done in the style of the 3DS's cutscenes

One hope for the FE anime is that it isn't an adaption of one of the games. Because games adapted to anime ever rarely work out. But then again so do original anime projects based on games like FF Unlimited

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say if there is an FE anime, it will be lossely based on FE Heroes.

Apparently it's a bit of a trend that successful mobile gacha games from Japan get an anime adaptation. Plus IMO it would be the most accessible format for an FE anime, it wouldn't require knowledge of the entire series and people who like some of the older characters based on seeing them in Heroes and not based on playing their games would be able to get into it.

The problem is that Heroes barely has a plot and it'd be hard to take a massive crossover seroiously.
Besides, Gacha game adaptations have all been terribly failires so far with the exception of Kemono Friends which seems to be mildly popular(but the game was discontinued anyways) and the Grand Order OVA which is just an OVA that takes out the Gacha elements(and has am actual plot to work with).

I'd prefer an original setting and story but I'd do with an adaptation as long as it isn't Fates.

i want you all to look at this tweet and tell me im wrong https://twitter.com/powerprotoman/status/902516508299026434

If you want something serious then yeah, original story with original characters with maybe some cameos from Marth and Lucina and the like is the best way to go.

But this is Nintendo, they're not gonna make something serious with an expansive and deep story, they're gonna go with what makes money and what allows them to fit recognisable characters into it, which Heroes perfectly facilitates.

Also, Heroes having a barebones plot is exactly why it would work, if they wanted to, they could elaborate on it and flesh it out. Make more OCs for the Askr and Emblian empires and such. Kinda like the jump from Gaiden to Echoes.

Or they could just go for the slice of life route where almost every episode is basically filler and they make episodes based on things like the Summer paralogues for the obligatory beach episode and such, which is probably what they will do if this anime is real.

I suppose now is a good time to remember that Nintendo also mentioned that the purpose behind them making potential anime adaptations is to strengthen and drive sales for games. Heroes seems like something perfect for that in regards to FE, unless they decide to make something tied to the new Switch game (which I would personally prefer and it could just be something small like FFXV Brotherhood).

The fanservice-y and non-serioud approach that made the Gacha adaptations fail: it's repetitive and boring.
A game can ride off fanservice since you're playing with the characters you want but an anime doesn't give you that freedom and relies only on characterisation, which Heroes would definitely not have the time for unless it's done in an episodic nature, which, again, is boring and makes people drop it as fast as picking it up.

The fact every chapter of Heroes is "we have a contract, beat me and I'll go away" certainly doesn't help

SoL would be full on wasted potential, as we all know adaptations that deviate too heavily from the source material serves only to alienate fans. Even more if it's done as a full on series.

 

[praline]

The opening to Mario+Rabbids was intense. lol

 

[IronTed]

Rip miiverse, you are an abomination that most will not miss

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I found my 2nd pair of splattwins

OMG I made chicken broth today for my cat hoping it will get her more liquids. And she apparently hates chicken broth

THat's like $10 wasted

I mixed some in with her food and she refused to eat it

So I gave her regular food mixed with water and she's eating that fine

maaan If that was my dog he would of gobbled that food up

I didn't care much about Miiverse but it was the only way to get screenshots on the 3DS so it's gonna suck once it's gone :/

Rip with Bigley, Miiverse

Dont think the alive 3DSs Miiverse is going, just the actually dead Wiius miiverse, thats what I thought butbI guess the 3DS one is going

Can we get Happy Home Designer on Switch now once its gone. Nintendo?

Also it isnt the only wau, I think they go on your camera so just take out your SD card and transfer them to your computer. of course that means opening up the 3DS over and over

 

[Wario Bros.]

The intro to Mario + Rabbids is REAAAALLLLY confusing me

 

[praline]

This game is great and could only be better by not having Rabbids in it.

 

[Megadoomer]

Nintendo's UK Youtube channel might have jumped the gun as far as the indie presentation goes.

I'll still tune in tomorrow in case it's different - I'm really hoping for a release date for Yooka-Laylee.

It could be argued that an FE Heroes anime would be more successful than a typical gacha game adaptation due to featuring characters from a larger game series that has its own popularity, so it's audience isn't limited to players of FE Heroes itself. How good it would be would depend on what they do with the concept, but the potential is undeniably there. I mean, if they're making an FE anime, the first teaser came from FE Heroes, so it's definitely possible it would be based on that.

Also what's an SoL?

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Nintendo have confirmed what we all knew was coming; the impending demise of Miiverse:
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/information/2017/0829_miiverse.html

Basically, it says that Miiverse will be closed down at 3pm Japan time on November 11, and they will allow you to download an archive of your own posts before it closes. It also lists off all the games that will be affected (e.g. you won't see other people's messages in New Super Mario Bros. U any more), and says that Super Mario Maker course sharing won't be affected. It doesn't say if this is only for Japan, or worldwide, but I doubt they'll keep it up for the rest of the world after closing it in Japan.

Miiverse was an interesting experiment for Nintendo, and lead to some pretty funny memes. However I think Arlo brought up an interesting point that Nintendo realized they could use social media sharing as advertisements for their games, and limiting it to just console owners is missed potential. Hence why we didn't see a Miiverse successor for the Switch.

Some of the games losing features due to Miiverse shutting down is a major bummer though.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Found out that there are Wario and Waluigi figures seen in the Mario + Rabbids' opening.

DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME, UBISOFT!

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

As long as I can view Netflix and Youtube on my Wii U, I'm not worried about some online services being shut down. TVii sounds like something different?

 

[Yellowlord]

Also what's an SoL?

SoL stands for Slice of Life, and these are basically types of anime that follow a character's daily life and usually do not have an exact story to follow except in rare cases. Even then, the main focus of SoL anime is to watch a character's life unfold in pretty much any possible way, which may involve being joined by other characters; usually, there will be 3-4 other main characters that follow the true main character.

In general, you often see this category of anime in a high school setting, but there can be other settings such as towns and cities. I personally consider SoL to be my favorite genre of anime out of all of them due to the cast of characters in these various types of anime along with the overall humor they provide.

Oh.

I know what a Slice of Life is, I thought the abbreviation was referring to something else though.

Oh really? Well... my bad. I suppose this will still be useful to those who are unaware of what it may mean.

 

[ChikoLad]

Matchmaking seems to going a lot faster for the most part in the Dissidia beta, after the update.

Lag hasn't been as bad but it's still a bit much.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Should I buy a hori pro controller from walmart that has a turbo button?

[NonSpecificGuy]

Has anyone heard of the Anime The Devil is a Part-timer?

My girlfriend dragged me into watching it and it actually wasn't half bad. Absolute bat **** crazy but entertaining enough.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Sonic Mania is now available on Steam.

Go and get it if you haven't already.

My brother made me watch a few episodes of it but it didn't seem quite like my thing.

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

I take back what I said about the matchmaking being fixed.

Had the game softlock twice, then it crashed, and now it softlocked like, another three or four times.

This is getting embarrassing. I'm cancelling my pre-order if I don't see improvement by the time the beta is over.

"oh wow I made it the the last floor of heaven really fast"
"alright i'll YOLO charge in just to see how much i'll need to grind. Hell, i'll even let the AI act freely for ****s and giggles"
"wow this guy is going down super easy. Guess there will be a phase 2."
"annnnnnd he's dead"

Ok, yeah, this was the first time I really used the ability to change personas to my advantage, but really? Underlevlled, with AI acting freely, and not playing to my best ability I win. Okay game. Well, based on the fact there is more game left to play I don't think this case is over. . .

 

[Opossum]

So if that Fire Emblem anime hint does pan out (they're being pretty deliberate with that cipher), I can see it as going one of four ways:

1. Fire Emblem Heroes anime - Gachas getting anime isn't unheard of and it's an easy way to cover the whole franchise.

2. Fire Emblem Awakening anime - If it's focused on one already-released game, I'm banking on Awakening. It and Fates were huge successes, but the latter has the three route issue complicating things. Awakening is already broken up into three acts anyway.

3. Pokémon Generations-styled shorts - These would cover major events from every game, but be much shorter in size.

4. Prologue Anime for Fire Emblem Switch - Kind of like the three Kid Icarus Uprising shorts or the Star Fox Zero animation, but acting as a prologue for the Switch title.

Sonic Twitter? Sonic Twitter.

It's the only reason I bothered voting, anyway.

Holy smokes that Fifa margin is just sad, though. Not even that it won, just. . .no game should sweep by that kind of margin.

God damn getting a replacement Social Security card is such a ****ing hassle. i have none of the papers they want, tried calling them to get info if the papers I had are good or if I can use something else and got a " Our representatives are busy, call again later. good bye" and uge

im in a bind, I cant get my SS card but I need my SSCard to get my state issued ID but I cant get my State issued Id without my SSCard

 

[Ura]

That is true, it wouldn't be out of character to simply announce without anything to show.

I definitely agree that holiday 2019 is the latest, although now that they have Pokemon for their holiday title every year, they might release it before the holidays. Or they may want to have 2 big holiday titles. Or Pokemon might take a break that year, who knows.

So you're in the camp that Nintendo won't release a Smash 4 Deluxe, but rather Smash 5? Because I myself to don't see the former happening.

I used to think they would release a ported Smash 5 but it looks like that's not happening now if they haven't done it already.

For them to have waited this long means that a new Smash game is defiantly on the horizon.

 

[ChikoLad]

I finally got something from the Sacred Stones banner, took long enough too.

She's -HP +Res which isn't that best but at least her important stats weren't screwed over.

Also got a 4-Star Boey. Amelia is a no show unfortunately.

As for CYL, I think I'm gonna take Lyn for the free unit and pull for Ike. Seems more practical and there's going to be nothing else to pull for anyway.

 

[Wario Bros.]

While I'm really enjoying Mario Rabbids, I'm still on the fence of picking up the season pass.

And Grant Kirkhope is doing an incredible job on the game's music.

 

[Opossum]

Famitsu is doing a live stream on (I think, if I did the time zone math right) the morning of the 31st for Fire Emblem Warriors.


This will undoubtedly be the Azura reveal.
