[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Japan's McDonald's Splatfest is next week.

I could always switch to my Japanese account and play but I would be lvl 1 if that would work that is

edit: nope, Ill have to download the Japanese Splatoon, forgot about that

 

[KingofPhantoms]

That's so... boring...

Boring to you, perfectly normal and enjoyable for me.

I've just never really needed any extra flavoring in chips. The basic stuff usually does it for me.

 

[Mythra]

The mexican Lays brand introduced chip flavors of other countries here, I bought the ones from China (called "Zhilli Dong Fang"), they're very good. My mom asked what I was eating and I said while reading the bag: "Dong Flavor chips"

Congrats Mandala, you played yourself.

 

[mario123007]

Good choice

Since my Internet is unable to play Splatoon 2,yeah.
But not really if I want to buy Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the future.
I am praying Xenoblade Chronicles 2 can come before December 10. Because I am leaving US that week and I want NA version.

 

[praline]

The Power Ranger movie is... ok

Tbh the game still smells like delay to me. Yes, it looked way more polished on the most recent gameplay posted, but after they said an area of the game was still unfinished, the idea of a 2017 release gets smaller, hopefuly Im wrong, but I think the final release date will be Feb 2018.

I finished the very first Sonic game!

So, what did I think of it?

Well, first of all, it is very clear that, this game have alot of Early Installment Weirdness. While Green Hill Zone, Spring Yard Zone and Star Light Zone are level that, once you understand what to do and where to go (always go up, never go down and you should be good) by replaying enough time and if you know how Sonic physic work, can be finished pretty quickly. The rest of the games is more like a traditional slow plaform game. And while one can make an argument that it go against what Sonic is supposed to be. As the first game in the franchise, I honestly don't mind that and welcome the change of pace before going back to the more speed levels.

On that note, while levels like Labyrinth Zone and Marble Zone are indeed very slow at some moment. The little shortcut that you can take here and there if you explore enough can make some act easy to finish. Labyrinth Zone is also very generous on bubbles. So aslong you don't ignore them too much. There is little risk of actually drowning, and the only time I drowned was on the last act of Scrap Brain Zone. Because the bubbles don't spawn fast enough to save you. Sooo it's kinda of a bad game design in my opinion, but the next time I came back. I had enough time to get the bubble, so, gotta go fast I guess.

Finally, the difficulty is really varied. I suprisely didn't have problem with Labyrinth Zone - the most infamous level of this game - but died quit alot on Marble Zone and on some boss. I don't know if I have problem, but some of them killed me alot due to me not being patient, which is quit ironic. Every levels in general have some easy moment, some challenging moment, and some bull**** moment. (I say it now, I used save state because this game sometime show no mercy. I kid you not, the boss of Labyrinth Zone was a nightamre due to me saving the game with no rings and only 1 life. All I had was a shield and if I died, I couldn't continue because the version I have doesn't have continue. No, you go back straight to the beginning of the game. And honestly, I have much better **** to do that doing the whole game once more just because of hard boss that I finally beaten after alot of retry. So I do not feel ashame for that.

But beside that, I can say that I had a great time with Sonic 1. This is definily not the best Sonic game ever. But honestly, I feel this game doesn't deserve the title of the weakest Classic Sonic game in the trilogy. That, I will see it later. But yeah, I give this game a Labyrinth Zone spear/10.

Next game, Sonic CD! Sonic 1.5 as I like to call it and the most controversial Classic Sonic game in the fanbase. Let's see if those claims are true!...Not today however, I'm tired.

Flight beat Invisibility in the NA/PAL Splatfest.

So when can we get a name brand themed Splatfest outside of Japan, Nintendo?

To be fair Japan did it almost constantly before and most of them were pretty lame.

Heck, both of their exclusive Splatfests now were deals, and one is for the record company that did their soundtrack and the other is for McDonalds food.

The other regions took a while to get deals arranged, but when they finally did it was stuff like pop culture icons.

The west values quality over quantity when it comes to brand deals in Splatoon.

If this splatfest was say Prof. layton vs Ace Attorny, Id be more invested

If it were Jake the dog vs. Finn the human I would be all in.

 

[Aurane]

Next Splatfest should be Gravity Falls vs Steven Universe.

The fanbases would tear each other apart. It'd be a massacre.

And beautiful.

While I agree, I don't think it'll happen for one reason;

Gravity Falls has ended over a year ago.

I dont trust people enough to have Steven Universe to have anything. id rather have Gravity Falls vs Ok Ko! lets be heroes

Gravity Falls is the correct choice.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Pokémon I wish were better:

• Gen 1: (It needs higher Special Attack/Special Defense, and it could be a decent Drought attacker.)
  
• Gen 2: (With higher Defenses, it could do its job better.)
• Gen 3: Ludicolo (It has an interestingly wide movepool. Maybe make its Attack equal to its Special Attack.)
• Gen 4: Mesprit (I'm not sure how to improve it, but I want it to be as good as Azelf.)
• Gen 5: Golurk (It needs some good boosts to Health and Defense and it could make a good Physical wall.)
• Gen 6: Tyrantrum (Another good recoil move would help it, plus more options for its many weaknesses.)
• Gen 7: Palossand (Water Compaction could be a bit better if Palossand could actually take a Water attack. Why not just give it Water Absorb as an option?)

Luckily, Mesprit and Palossand are the only Pokémon in my top 15 who aren't at least UU (counting Mega Evolutions and Alolan Forms).

Pokémon I voted for that got in the top 5:

• (4th Fire)
• (4th Psychic)
• Tyrantrum (5th Rock)
• Darkrai (3rd Dark)

Gengar, Gardevoir, and Sceptile also placed in their types, but I voted for their Megas.

I also feel a little bit guilty, as I used the website to chart my least favorite Pokémon of each type, and I guess those votes were counted.

You know, Prof. Layton vs Ace Attorney actually sounds less far fetched than McDonalds or Spongebob vs Patrick.

This is what I'm saying. The world would cringe harder than it ever has.

I'm not into Splatoon, but these would make some rather great Splatfests:

• One Piece vs Naruto
• Regular Show vs Adventure Time
• Napkins vs Paper Towels
• TV Shows vs Movies
• Crocodiles vs Alligators
• Fish vs Birds
• Christmas vs Halloween
• George Washington vs Abraham Lincoln
• Donuts vs Cookies
• Windows vs Doors
• Day vs Night
• Questions vs Answers
• Circles vs Squares

I thought the Gravity Falls and Steven Universe fanbases were among some who were on friendlier terms with one and other.

Then again, a competition like that would probably still cause some uproar.

[KingofPhantoms]

• Regular Show vs Adventure Time

I'd be very interested to see how this one turns out.

I'd bet on Adventure Time winning, but I'm not entirely sure.

Windows vs Doors

What if a door has windows?

 

[Aurane]

What if a door has windows?

This is a Door.

And this is a Door above a Door

Or you could call it Door Two.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I've been watching old videos of these major DBZ Youtubers and it's HILARIOUS Toriyama always does the opposite of what they predict

There will be no Evil Goku in Super - Immediately after that the Goku Black arc starts
There is no way Monaka is weak and just being used by Beerus to motivate Goku - Monaka is just a random delivery boy Beerus picked up and told Goku he was strong to motivate him.

 

[mario123007]

Why do you want the NA version?

1. So I can read (Unless Xenoblade Chronicles 2 offers changing language like how Botw, I can wait.), it seems that it will be kind of like Splatoon 2 where you can't change language... I hope it won't be the case.
2. It still depends if they release Xenoblade Chronicles 2 special pack or something, I won't surprised if they released a Switch bundle in Japan.

Tbh the game still smells like delay to me. Yes, it looked way more polished on the most recent gameplay posted, but after they said an area of the game was still unfinished, the idea of a 2017 release gets smaller, hopefuly Im wrong, but I think the final release date will be Feb 2018.

I think February is better for releasing the new Fire Emblem game, but I could be totally wrong as well.
We'll have to wait for new Nintendo/Xenoblade direct to know. I think if we get a normal Nintendo Direct it could be 50% chance on time and 50% get delayed. If we are going to get a Xenoblade Direct this month or in October it will be 70% on time and 30% delayed.

I recently bought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Switch Pro Controller, Splatoon 2 guide, and a Kaspersky software at my local Walmart. Man today I spend the most money since I came to USA...
Does Pro controller need to charge in order to sync with my Switch?
Oh yeah, I also add 20$ to my eshop account and was intended to buy Sonic Mania but found it it was less than 60 cent short due to taxes... so I downloaded the 10 dollar Shovel Knight Specter of Torment.
Let's hope I won't waste my remaining 300+$ of cash.

 

[Deleted member]

Discovery of the day:

The Plasm Wraith actually exists!

 

[IronTed]

I don't think XC2 will be delayed. They've been saying 2017 rather confidently, and IIRC the music is nearing completion. Granted it is true gameplay doesn't always point to an immediate release, but Nintendo has really improved their pipeline.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Can confirm, XC2 only lists Japanese in the languages on the japanese eshop

 

[mario123007]

Can confirm, XC2 only lists Japanese in the languages on the japanese eshop

Which means if XC2 does comes after I return to Taiwan, I can only buy the NA copy via import or download it on eshop.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Now this makes me mad, the only language on FEW on eshop is Japanese

 

[praline]

Now this makes me mad, the only language on FEW on eshop is Japanese

Guess you gotta wait until the game releases whenever.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I still haven't found a reason to make a Japanese account on my Switch. Either a language barrier or nothing that interests me are the reasons (mostly the latter).

 

[Megadoomer]

Hard to believe it's less than two weeks until Metroid: Samus Returns comes out. I'm definitely planning to buy it as soon as I can - I have a Metroidvania itch that needs scratching, and I'm interested to see how they expanded on Metroid II. (I played through it before; it was all right, but it felt really clunky)

 

[Wario Bros.]

Decided to look back at the official Star Fox 64 strategy guide that has a Shigeru Miyamoto interview in it to see if Star Fox 2 was mentioned (the answer is yes).

Nintendo Power
"We saw Star Fox 2 for the Super NES several years ago, but it never came out. Did you use any ideas from that game in Star Fox 64?"

Shigeru Miyamoto
"We borrowed several ideas. All-Range Mode, Multi-Player Mode and the Star Wolf scenario all came from Star Fox 2. I'd say 60% of SF64 comes from the original games, 30% from SF2 and 10% is entirely new."

One problem with what Miyamoto said is that the mutiplayer mode is only available in the early prototype ROM and completely absent in both the late prototype ROM and the upcoming final release.

Plus I have to disagree a bit on his Star Fox 64 content ratio (I'd say less Star Fox 1 and more new content).
