I want an actual job system in Animal Crossing.

We've been a retail employee (though you could take the concept further), a home designer, and the Mayor, but there's so much more they could do with an actual job system and giving you a choice of what kind of lifestyle you want to lead in your job.

Imagine being a doctor/nurse, or a school teacher, or any number of infinite possibilities in an Animal Crossing game.

Black Panther has a chance to be to African American leads what Wonder Woman was. I'm hoping for the same type of success for it that Wonder Woman had.

Black Panther was probably my favorite part of Civil War. I always like when they use him in other media.

Not to say it was an amazing characterization, but I enjoyed it for what it was. A movie with him would be cool.

If I'm being honest.

I think we're gonna need more than one success.

We need several.

I would totally back you on that if you were to pitch it to them

I will say that I don't think Hollywood big shots are against minority characters inherently.

I think they're just scared of writing them.

Having a minority character puts more pressure on the writer/actors/producers/etc. as they are expected to get them "right" which means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I also imagine this leads to the bland minority characters we often get, they're often scared to go all out which is what they do with non minority characters.

On top of that, you have potential bad behavior from prejudiced people that might not take to minority characters well.

I imagine many Hollywood big shots just don't want to deal with all that and go the easy route.

Thats still pretty bad but I think it's a different kind of bad.

True, I definitely see the occasional self-defeating attitude from those in favor of equality that characters having flaws or quirks is somehow bigoted too. Or that a woman isn't allowed to be punched by a man even if it has absolutely nothing to do with her gender and she's just as strong or stronger than he is. And then there's the whole "Only a minority is allowed to write a minority character" thing I see pop up sometimes. Somehow one of the things bigots and overcompensating equality advocates seem to agree on is that characters actually having character or participating in conflict offends them.

Nah, Hollywood makes ****ty movies regardless of minorities, lazy reboots/adaptations that miss the point are a good example

Also true, the sheer volume of reboots and adaptions is making me wonder if film writers even know how to tackle an original concept anymore. Which also speaks to the fact that they're hot trash as writers.

 

[IronTed]

I wonder how the Animal Crossing app will turn out. It's out this FY, although I doubt they'd reveal it in a direct. That would make no sense at all

 

[Opossum]

I think any information on the Animal Crossing mobile app would be in its own Direct, or at least an Animal Crossing specific one, like with Fire Emblem Heroes.

Ok, here's something really weird that I'm salty about: I was playing the 2nd boss in Sonic Mania, and I won easily...YET, at the same time Eggman fell through the platform, MY platform unlocked and caused Sonic to fall through and lose a life. How the BLOODY heck does that even work? This glitch is really bothering me.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Welp.
I'm going to do it.
After all these years
I'm gonna watch Dragon Ball beyond the original show that took me 5 ****ing years to finish. It's Kai to be specific

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Damn, Samus Returns barely resembles the game it's a remake of. Like, with AM2R, which I adore, you could look at it side by side with the original and see how faithful it was to the original. Metroid: Samus Returns is like night and day in comparison. It's astonishing.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Just checked. It's been five months since the last Nintendo Direct that isn't on a single topic or that Nindies Showcase.

Yeah, we're overdue.

I beleive you get stuck there if you are holding right on the stick before and i believe during the whole 2nd boss fight

 

[Cutie Gwen]

HOLY **** THE NEW KAMEN RIDER GAME'S GONNA GET AN ENGLISH LOCALIZATION FOR THE PHILIPPINES. I NEED A PS4 NOW HOLY ****

 

[Coricus]

Yeah, we're overdue.

Technically there's E3 which counts for something.

Looking at the list of past Directs there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern as to how post-E3 full Directs are handled, it's gone anywhere from July to early September before.

I wouldn't say we're overdue per se, but at this point we're at least due. Mario Odyssey is out in a month, Xenoblade 2 could use more coverage, FE Warriors afford to get it's next batch of reveals out, Zelda's last DLC is probably going to be out by the time the holiday Direct hits, games need release dates announced. Basically all the Q4 releases need to be covered since most of them will be out or nearly out soon. Not sure if they'll start covering 2018 stuff now or in a Q4 Direct, but if Kirby and Yoshi are out Q1 they might want a head start. Unlike Pokemon and Metroid they're definitely far enough along to have something to show before next E3.

 

[praline]

Nintendo Direct possibly happening?

"Gee, Wario Bros. What you want in the Direct?"

"Same thing I want in every Direct, Smashboards: for Switch!"

I'd like them to reveal an actually playable port of Star Fox Zero for the Switch.

You know what would really be great? TMS for Switch

 

[Coricus]

I'm pretty sure that entire game was made as a desperate justification for the Wii U's controls, so I doubt it.

Maybe towards the end of the gen they'll have it sink in enough why it flopped and make a new Star Fox with HD Rumble gameplay cues.

. . .I'm pretty sure Star Fox is their experimental franchise and has been since it's inception.

I want Starfox on the switch... hell I'd take a remake of Starfox Adventures if I had to

 

[Mythra]

We gonna get Star Fax 3, you heard it here first.

Y'kow what game I for got existed? For Honour.

I'm still waiting for a new F-Zero so I can watch fans ***** about how poorly it was handled and how the originals were so much better.

 

[Coricus]

Please let's not turn it into the Metroid fandom.

The Metroid fandom is already the worst parts of the Sonic fandom concentrated into a tiny little package of hatred.

 

[Wario Bros.]

At this point, I would settle for a port of GX (adding online wouldn't hurt too)

Hard to believe next month will be the 13th anniversary of the last game (Climax)

Looks like MvC:I's final boss was leaked.

Spoiler

It's literally a Mega Man X final boss.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Now that I'm watching my 5th Kai episode today, holy **** I'm loving what they did with Piccolo. I have been missing out

 

[IronTed]

Star Fox is the most incompetently handled, large-scale franchise Nintendo has. And expiremental doesn't even explain decisions like Adventures, either. Outside of small IP's I can't think of another Nintendo IP to be mismanaged as much as it is.

On a brighter note, that video really highlights how much the Metroids have improved. Yeah, the Alphas are still fodder, but the fact it's at least tougher is nice.

Adventures was initially a completely different game with a similar MC set that Nintendo liked enough to ask to have made as an official Star Fox game. I wouldn't chalk that particular title up to experimentation so much as jumping on an opportunity. It's more of a US Super Mario Bros 2 type situation than the type of situation that typically governs it's status quo.

And it. Looks. AWESOME. Shame that the overall game's graphic quality is very lackluster to outright bad on average, but goddamn, that looks sweet

Oh I am aware, hence why I said expiremental does not explain that. I mean, they literally forsook the very successful SF formula in favor of what totally could have been a spinoff title. Star Fox was huge on SNES/N64, then with Adventures on GC the franchise fell from favor and has never recovered.

Quoting my good cousin when he saw this

WTF that's going to haunt my dreams.

I quite like that Sigma now has most of the emphasis in this form - before Ultron-Sigma just felt more Ultron with Sigma sprinkled here and there, now Sigma's going all out with the classic 'not my final form' card.
