The Switch has sold 7.63 million units by the end of September.

That is phenomenal. Nintendo really is back.

I was like "oh **** what happened to Horikoshi now?" but turns out he's just a nerd who thinks writers need to do research. Silly Horikoshi, everyone knows genes are always codominant and math is an illusion.

So cool news is that with about 57 Orbs, I managed to get a Halloween Henry from the Banner. Which is pretty good considering shortly after getting him, I got a 5-Star Seliph(got two of him, as I got him as a 4* from the Banner first. Now if only he was a Tempest Trial Bonus). I also got my first Soren from the Banner as well. Either way, the Henry I got has a decent IV, +DEF/-HP. So nothing messing with his ATK or SPD.
Anyway, Henry's a great Armor unit and he's got Live for Honor, which means more Badges for Seal Forging. And I got quite a bit of characters to give Henry some skills as well. Although I do need to get a Setsuna for Bowbreaker. And now I don't need to worry about the Halloween Banner so much now as I only wanted to get either Henry or Nowi, so I can start saving up on Orbs again.

Oh, does anybody remember the guy who uses 4 Sakuras for fighting in FEHeroes? Well, if you want to see how he's doing with Neko Sakura, he's already at work.

By what I heard, he got 13 Neko Sakuras with 8800 Yen, which by what I heard isn't even 100+ Orbs.

My obsession has grown deep enough that I've begun torturing innocent gourds.

Or maybe I'm just the world's most hardcore vegetable tattoo artist.

This is going to be the backstory of the Pumpkin Wizard isn't it. . .

The topic title says 1000 Orbs though
Still, I was like "why does he need more of her?" but turns out he wants four +10 merged Sakuras aka 44 total Sakuras. Talk about whaling, man.

Meanwhile, me, sitting atop my 145 Orbs: "Give me Joshua you cowards!"

 

[ChikoLad]

Everyone else: "Wow look at all these cool Halloween characters!"

Me: "JUST GIVE ME MINERVA. I'M NOT ASKING FOR MUCH."

That's what I got from the comments, was that someone mentioned he got 13 Sakuras with 8800 Yen and someone pointed out that it wasn't even 100+ Orbs, so I assumed they meant that he spent 8800 after the 1000 Orbs and got 13 Sakuras after that.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Lookie what I goottt

 

[Opossum]

Look at all those charges against Manafort.


Charges include Conspiracy Against the United States and being an unregistered agent of a foreign power. Keep in mind, this guy was basically the head of Trump's entire campaign. If Mueller can make this lead to a domino effect to take down the rest I'll be so happy. Justice.

 

[IronTed]

Nintendo just released sales results. Splatoon 2 at 3.61 million. Crazy that Splatoon is now a top tier Nintendo IP.

Switch forecast has been revised up to 14 million, but keep in mind it could even surpass these expectations (I doubt it, though). It must sell about 9 million over the next 2 quarters to hit that goal.

So now the goalposts are being moved yet again "well, we'll have to wait 2 years so see if it's a success"

 

[Knight Dude]

Hey, Ginyu's trailer for DBFZ dropped. I think IGN is still supposed to show two new fighters though today.

 

[ChikoLad]

So I looked up the specific details of the Sony PGW conference and the specific details are that we will get 21 updates, INCLUDING 7 PS4 & PS VR games. So that means 14 updates on games we know, plus the 7 new PS4 & PS VR games.

Here are some of my hopes/predictions:

New stuff
-Spyro remaster (pls)
-Some kind of Crash follow-up, be it a new game or a CTR remaster
-Some kind of VR game based on a big licensed IP (Star Wars, Marvel, DC, etc)
-There was a rumour of a PS4 Harry Potter MMORPG a while ago, so maybe this would be a good time for it to show up
-Gravity Rush 3 (pls)
-Horizon 2, though it may be too early
-Potentially that Kingdom Hearts Collection, but if Square Enix has a conference of their own then it will show up there instead since it's not a big thing
-Ratchet & Clank game since it's the 15th Anniversary of the series

Updates on stuff we know
-Spider Man, probably
-The Last of Us 2
-Kingdom Hearts 3
-Final Fantasy VII Remake
-Sucker Punch's new game
-Final Fantasy XV: Monster of the Deep
-Dad God of War
-Days Gone

Blegh, I can't think of much more. But I hope we get some good stuff.

EDIT: Also here's the stream, pre-show about to start (will include announcements).

 

[Knight Dude]

I hope we get a new Soul Calibur at some point. The chance of having a Spyro remaster would be great.

If they show anything for Spider-Man, I hope they show some damn supervillains. Scorpion, Rhino, Green Goblin, Venom, Electro any of them.

EDIT: Right now it's just a count down to the real deal. A whole 50 something minutes dudes.

 

[ChikoLad]

Just announced Guacamelee 2, currently showing gameplay. Looks really slick.

 

[Knight Dude]

YOOOOOOO! GUACAMELEE 2, I guess things aren't too bad so far. Though it might be PS4 only at the moment.

Those other two games they showed weren't too interesting.

 

[ChikoLad]

4K LOCOROCO BOIS

This is what video games have been building to.

EDIT: FFXV Monster of the Deep is canon, god damn it.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Are JRPGS games be shown at this Playstation thing? Thats really all I like playstation for

 

[ChikoLad]

OH WAHT SPELUNKY 2?

Also that trailer was surprisingly sad oh damn

 

[Knight Dude]

Hey, Sucker Punch is making a Samurai game. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[Schnee117]

Ghost of Tsushima looks really good

 

[Knight Dude]

There's gonna be a Monster Hunter World Beta on December 9th. And the PS4 version will let you play as the chick from Horizon Zero Dawn.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Can't believe that Yokai Watch added these weird fruit nyans

Without Banyana

 

[Knight Dude]

We got a new trailer for Spider-Man. Not too much for the gameplay, but at least we got something from E3. But Mary Jane is in the game.

Better yet, we at least a quick look at Shocker too. Though it seems Mr. Negative is straight up the main villain.

Well, the Sucker Punch game, Spider-Man, Guacamelee 2, and Monster Hunter were decent at least.

 

[ChikoLad]

The games weren't too much to my taste but they seem like they've got a lot of stuff coming. And at least the PS VR seems to have actual games rather than €5 novel gimmicks. Legit want to play Moss and Sprint Vector in particular.

Most interesting things to me were Oure, Concrete Genie, Ghost of Tsushima, and Massacre of Hong Kong. And I think "Orush" or whatever it was called?

Spider-Man, Shadow of the Colossus, and TLoU2 were already games I am interested in based on the IP but I still need to see more.

 

[Schnee117]

That was meh.

Ghost of Tsushima, Spidey and Guacamelee 2 were the only things I liked.

 

[ChikoLad]

I feel like this image is perfect meme material.

i came across this and it gave me a laugh:

[ChikoLad]

So you know how each year, there is an indie horror game released with some really quirky premise around Halloween?

I found this year's one.

I don't recommend watching or looking much into the game if you have severe anxiety or struggle with depression or anything like that.

But god damn I thought I was being pranked when I saw YouTubers say 'it's a horror game".

And the horror doesn't come from where you think it would.

 

[Deleted member]

I was looking at rumored characters for old Smash games and stumbled upon this roster in the process.

Spoiler

I can't tell if it's a joke or not, but if it is, it's a very good one, because I just couldn't stop laughing. It's hard to tell because it's so damn old.

Real talk though, I'd totally main Vader

But I also found this pretty damn good "fake" Brawl roster. I might like it even more than the actual Brawl roster, which is an impressive feat.

Spoiler

Falco > Krystal tho

I just remembered something. In 2 days, it's November. Fans of Sonic are going to be in for a treat

I've been planning on playing that game since it started popping up on my Tumblr feed.
At first I was confused as to why a dating sim was getting so popular but then I found out it ism't just a dating sim

I continued watching the video and IT KNOWS WHEN YOU'RE RECORDING THE GAME

Like forget the odd occasional jump scare or all the other meta stuff, THAT'S freaky.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Doki Doki literature club is a good game for halloween

 

[Wario Bros.]

Guacamelee 2? Nice!

Makes me hope that the teased Brawlout character is in fact a Guacamelee character (most likely Juan)

 

[Cutie Gwen]

A friend of mine asked me to tell him what I didn't know about Odyssey in terms of post game, It took longer than it should have for him to realize what was wrong with his question. Anyone else have friends like this?

 

[Wario Bros.]

The release dates for two indie games for the Switch have been revealed

Super Beat Sports is coming November 2 Professor Pumpkaboo

And Rocket League is coming November 14

Really looking forward to both (and now all I need is a release date for Brawlout)

Sweeeeet- *looks at bank account* Im so sorry

 

[Aetheri]

So...I hear Rocket League is going to be just $20 for the Switch...

My wallet likes this news...

However I live in Canada so that equates to like $50 (not really...but still stupid exchange rate)

I was in diapers back when this roster was made.
I think I saw that roster before I realized what Smash really is about (I was about 12 and I'm damn grateful that I didn't start hanging out in this forum back then, and y'all should be too) and thought it was meh.

Spoiler

Probably because it didn't have Perry the Platypus or something
