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

That is phenomenal. Nintendo really is back.

That really is something special given the Switch hasn't even reached it's 1 year anniversary yet and that the holiday season hasn't even started. By March of next year I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch made it to 10 million units.

That being said though the challenge is to continue the Switch's momentum in the years to come. Usually consoles last for like 5-6 years so the sky really is the limit for what the Switch could have.

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 website 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

I was 10 years old when I first saw that roster (that being in 2005). I knew what Smash was of course given that I was playing the series since 2000 with Smash 64.

And i'm also grateful I didn't join SB back then. The hype for Brawl was so much better for me given that I wasn't exposed to any leaks of sorts and the only news I got was from the Smash DOJO and from my round of friends in Middle School.

Technically speaking I wouldn't have been able to join Smashboards until 2008 given you have to be 13 to join the site. Not that I would care anyways lol. I always BS'd things back in those days.

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.

Oh.

Ohhhhh no.

I'm pretty sure I can handle it through my pins and needles if I get to watch someone else flipping out too, but oh no no no no this isn't a game I would touch on my own, haha. It knew exactly when the viewer would anticipate a jump scare and faked me out the first time and delayed it until the moment I dropped my guard the second time.

Spoiler

It's like someone mixed the Undertale/Pony Island type meta with what I think someone said the plot of a Gravity Falls episode was. OKAY THEN.

I'm not scared of yanderes but video game glitching always gets me.

. . .I almost think I want to see someone else react though, LOL. But I should probably just find highlights or something, I don't wanna sit through this whole creepy ride.

The video I embedded is a highlight reel.

The actual game is like, 4-5 hours from what I hear.

Yeah I noticed they fast forwarded through like, three hours of content LOL.

I'm just saying if I look for something I'm going for another highlight reel. I'm not sitting though that buildup.

I was 10 years old when I first saw that roster (that being in 2005). I knew what Smash was of course given that I was playing the series since 2000 with Smash 64.

I was introduced to Smash in the worst way possible.
I didn't even own a videogame console until I got my 3DS in 2014 because I never asked my parents, so it was browser games all day long.

Technically speaking I wouldn't have been able to join Smashboards until 2008 given you have to be 13 to join the site. Not that I would care anyways lol. I always BS'd things back in those days.

Didn't we all.
I wouldn't have been able to join the boards until late 2013, but I was in Deviantart back then (but that's a completely unrelated horror story that I'm never going to tell). That reminds me, I became 13 close to 4 years ago now, which means I'm gonna be 17 soon.
...I feel old now.

If anyone's wondering, IGN's DBFZ reveal was just new Nappa and Ginyu gameplay (As well as Tien having a second level 3 super involving Chaotzu).

Some Japanese stream is showing brand new stuff in a week or two though.

EDIT: Oh and some food for thought. The PSN page for DBFZ lists Bulma as a playable character. Goof up or accidental leak? You decide. It wouldn't be the first time something like this happened though.

I don’t see what people had issue with the ending of Odyssey

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I was doing "Chompcraft" in Bravely second to earn money fast, and it worked

I had enough to afford the "Freelancer costume" which lets the character be in their freelancer costume in any class

I couldn't find a costume I liked for Tiz so I just used that.

But it's so repetitive, I'd really rather grind enemies and get gold slower

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.

Cool, something similar happened to me. The one I wanted the most was Halloween Jakob and I actually got him with around 40 orbs. Unfortunately it is -ATK +RES but that's no biggie. I can continue to pull colorless to either get a Sakura cat or a better natured Jakob for a merge. But I too would like to have a Halloween Henry.

With all of next month I should be able to manage it, but I hope that whatever banner comes up a couple of weeks from now with new characters has nothing to do with Fates, Awakening, or Shadows of Valentia.

Miriel, Ophelia, Owain, Python, Charlotte, Luthier, Orochi, Mitama, and Dwyer. If I can dodge these bullets, I should be okay.

People get salty when a ship dies.

I found hilarious that Mario was patting Bowser's back after both got rejected by Peach.

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

That is phenomenal. Nintendo really is back.

And thinking how just last year Switch actually had quite some backlash...
With this I have to say this is really the time Nintendo fans can be a bit cocky for now (Not really). I mean just think about it, even some users in this thread had some fair share of negative opinions and assumptions before. I personally was never too hype with Switch until the announce of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Odyssey.

 

[Z25]

Not the same arc but the plot is basically going the same way, but IT'S HAPPENING!

STEVEN UNIVERSE RETURNS NOVEMBER 10th!

New episodes will air on the app and it looks like it may have 3 or more episodes so get hyped!

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Oh and I recently completed Super Mario Odyssey.

Spoiler

Towards the end it starts to lose its passion, the moon and dark side are disappointments and feel like they could have been more like the previous kingdoms. Although Bowser's Kingdom was awesome and refreshing, and Mushroom Kingdom served its purpose well as an extra place to explore. Being able to buy power moons infinitely really cheapens them though... in a weird way I would have preferred if they lowered the requirement for the Darker Side of the Moon but removed that part of the shop completely after the initial purchase in each world. I know it's optional so me feeling that way is needless, but I won't lie and say it doesn't further gild the idea of collecting moons for me.

Probably the biggest disappointment though is that the fallen kingdom just exists as a boss area, to me that was the most intriguing area and its aesthetic stood out from the rest. The cloud kingdom as well could've had more to it aside from being a boss diversion. Would have preferred to have the first two moon parts cut out entirely and add to those instead. Oh well.

Despite criticisms, it is really fun and they did a good job with it for the most part. It's full of references and details, hidden areas that got me compulsively checking each corner at every opportunity. And Cappy's power made for a bunch of interesting new experiences. Definitely a worthy addition to the series.

I can't believe CN is going to remove some of the precious Teen Titans GO airtime to add this smh. /s

 

[powerprotoman]

in other news i got curious and decided to se if the broodals have names, and they do

you have
Hopper(the one in green)
Harriet(the small female)
Spewart (the one in purple)
Rango (the lanky one)
and madame broode(who im sure you can figure out by process of elimination)

this is important because im pretty sure poeple will be putting these guys in roster predictions for every upcoming mario and possibly smah game going forward so having them be called by name and not "the tall broodal" or "the green broodal" will be nice

 

[Deleted member]

I started DDLC, still all dating sim but I'm just starting the third day.
I bet I got tricked and the actual horror of this game is it being an actual dating sim, *shivers*

I'm not really surprised at this point, I'm the only Sonic fan not completely ripping it apart in circles where spoilers are being discussed and the game is already discounted at launch.

The fandom seems to think it's really phoned in and possibly something they scraped together after starting something else that wasn't working.

 

[ChikoLad]

Also, GODDAMNIT MONIKA JUST C***BLOCKED ME

Important plot point.

I've been doing some research on the game via TV Tropes and learned that the creator of DDLC was actually part of the Project M dev team, and there is a Project M related easter egg in the game.

Spoiler

During Act 2, sometimes the game's "not suitable for children or people who are easily disturbed" message will be randomly replaced with "PM died for this".

 

[Deleted member]

I swear to god Yuri is literally fpreshadowing the entire plot.
(Paraphrased)
Faceless Asshole: "That sounds like a story that seems like it's going to have a happy tone only to take a turn and catch you by surprise"
Best girl: "Yeah, I like thpse kinds of stories. [...] And then they show the protagonist was the trully naive one with their one-minded world view that got in the way of the antagonists' goals"

WHAT ARE YOU SETTING ME UP TO, GAME??

Eh really? I saw folks reacting positively to the spoilers (including some folks in this thread.) Although I haven't really looked for people talking about the game mostly to avoid spoilers.

I DID hear that

Spoiler: Sonic Forces spoilers

Chaos and Zavok aren't boss fights, just taken care of in cutscenes, which is rather disappointing and a letdown considering these characters being back was a selling point of sorts. Especially on regards to Chaos.

I also heard that Tails reaches new levels of incompetence which as a fan of him is pretty meh but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.

 

[Z25]

Well this is one of the luckiest things to happen to me:

I'm pretty hyped.

Jakob is plus def minus attack

Amelia is plus def minus speed. When give seals and buffs their banes won't hurt at all.

The save your game thing is definitely important, yes.

Zavok and Metal Sonic have boss fights.

Chaos and Shadow have none.

This could change due to Shadow DLC though.

Buu's name is spelled that way elsewhere, from what I've read. I'd be interested to see how a playable Bulma would work - it seems like she'd be quite different from the rest of the cast, and seeing as she's been one of the main characters since the first chapter, it would be an interesting change to have her playable in a Dragon Ball video game.

Ah, didn't know about the Buu part.

But if real, betting her moveset will be Capsule Corp based

ORAS, XY, and the FE Fates games are all games where I firmly believe the female avatar has a much better design. Named my avatar Noel, after BlazBlue bae, and because it's also close to my real name.

I'm trying to watch the latest episode of Dragon Ball Super but I just don't care about Kale and Caulifla.

I don't know why they chose now to fight Goku and I don't see what they are trying to accomplish other than getting stronger

Also I don't get the point of Kale's controlled SS Berserker form

 

[Lord Dio]

hmmmmmm I GUESS since I want this run to be different from my OR runs and I can have a it of an advantage over team aqua, I guess I'll go with Treecko instead of the usual Torchic.
Only water starters I like enough to pick areBlastoise and Primarina, and I choose 'Zard over Blastoise so the only gen I choose the water starter is sun and moon
Welcome to the team..........Poison Ivy (even tho you're a male)
Also I have realized that Swamp Thing would be a great name for a Swampert

Reddit was moaning about Bulma because she doesn't fight in the series and I'm like damn.

If there's one character where it would be 100% justified to bull**** moveset for it's Bulma.

That being said, I'm not gonna get my hopes up yet.

Zavok and Metal Sonic have boss fights.

Chaos and Shadow have none.

You pretty much answered your own question regarding why they wanna fight him. Caulifla is basically U6 Goku, she just wants to get stronger and in her own way probably sees Goku as a mentor of sorts.

Kale controlling berserk mode is just character development 101. If she controls that, she can ascend (maybe).

Nah, I questioned it's legitimacy and posted a "I have several questions." video. But it doesn't excuse me for not double checking the Twitter account before posting.
