So I just beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Was my first Xenoblade, so I really want to play the other two now.

Where did this whole McDonalds meme come from again? I've been seeing it quite a bit over the past couple of days and do not know its origin.

Someone posted it with Overwatch characters on Tumblr and people just went with it
The same way this one did, basically

I'm surprised you didn't mention the bigger surprise.

That Lissa beat Tharja.

I had this idea as soon as I woke up but it seems the FEH reddit beat me to it

And then, on the other side of the VG

Ninian are debatable.

How the **** could you consider Ninian a loli?

King Dedede is distinguished?
"successful, authoritative, and commanding great respect."

Spoiler: -

He literally stole everyone's food for himself and never does his role properly, he always fights and clashes with people. He also tries to kill innocent people with his own hammer like Kirby. Kirby is the hero but the king should learn a lesson. What makes him successful, authoritative, and commanding great respect? He never benefited the economy or helped the environment in any way.

Okay.

The VG memes are my favorite part of it

"S-Sigurd! Chrom! ...was... was that an illusion or..."

Okay.

I'n pretty sure "distinguished" here means "to make (someone or something) different or special in some way"

My counter argument, for me at least is... Xenoblade Chronicles 2... That alone made me want a Switch... And also the portability.
Now looking back ever since the NX reveal. At first I really didn't like the name Nintendo Switch, or even the logo... And the concept didn't blew me away since we already knew what it was thanks to the past leaks.
However, the more I watch the trailer over and ver again, that's when I realize Nintendo Switch might just be a game changer for the entire home console industry. Even though many people didn't think so at the time.
The presentation I gave it a barely pass just because of a new Xenoblade Chronicles rather than a port. However I was disappointed with the prince, storage space, and even the launch titles...

That's why I waited until June to buy Switch. Now I love it and it is my current favorite console
I mean it is insane for me to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with my sister and play Overcooked with my brother just with two joy Cons and in table top Mode.

My brother already own Mario Kart 8 too on his Wii U, but I remember I used to play it on the gamepad and thought "it would be nice to play on the go", and now I can and man the new Battle mode was awesome.... A huge improvement over the original which was probably the worse battle mode ever. Did I mention there's inkling?

All in all, Nintendo Switch now is obviously was indeed a game changer. It may not be for everyone, but it is definitely for me.

To each his own then. While I did try out Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the stat balancing was handled very poorly; Mario Kart 8 did a far better job with that, with the only imbalance being the mini-turbo difference between weight classes. Also, you're still cursed with getting coins in 1st place, requiring you to actually hold onto one if you expect to get a defensive item.

The Battle Mode may be a huge improvement, but if you're more into racing, you're basically just playing the exact same race tracks that are in the original Wii U game. And the combos that excelled very well in Mario Kart 8 may not grant you the same results in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe; the Biddybuggy is a notable example, as it had one of the best water speed stats in MK8 (a blessing for Dolphin Shoals), but in MK8D, it's among the worst vehicle bodies in the water speed department.

One question: Why did they not do Mario Kart 9 instead? Oh well, I guess I am fine with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe did very well with Battle Mode, but racing is kind of the same in my opinion. Except we got some nice new stages to race on and more new characters.

The thing is, MK8D's race tracks are exactly the same as the ones in MK8 when you have all the DLC purchased. Also, while you can use the DLC parts right off the bat in MK8, you have to coin grind for most of them in MK8D.

I still don't get why the starting vehicle bodies were adjusted for MK8D. In MK8, you get to start with the Standard Kart, Mach 8, Badwagon, Biddybuggy, Standard Bike, Sport Bike, and Standard ATV; you could use every possible non-DLC body group stat spread from the very start.

Understandable, and besides you have mention this already back in the Rosalina social thread. And for some ****ing reason it turned out to have a lot of beef... it shouldn't happen when I was simply expressing why Switch is selling well while some of the users in the thread express subjective and even biased opinions... that are either understandable or just invalid argument...

Sorry for putting that up... I just want to say your reason is understandable, but this is basically from a more technical and competitive perspective that basically not much people will focus on... since not matter you agree or disagree, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't an esports game.. Deluxe just has all the DLC, new characters, new content, better battle mode, while some of the Kart tweaks may be confusing and made those Mario Kart Veterans like you disappointed, this version is arguably the best Mario Kart ever made, at least this is what most people think. My only grudge on this game is just what you said... coins in first place... and oh yeah... the Boo item will take 1st place items too... and the feather in Battle Mode is pretty useless...

tl;dr
While your opinion is okay, no offense, they are mostly subjective... it just means that MK8 Deluxe and perhaps even the Switch just isn't for you.

So I just beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Was my first Xenoblade, so I really want to play the other two now.

Some may say that XC and XCX are way better than XC2, I have to say any statement on which Xenoblade is better is nonsense.
A better judge is what I said before, if you want to know the greatness of Xenoblade, go for the first one first, if you prefer the Xenoblade gameplay go for X, if you like the story drive type Xenoblade more, go for XC2.

The controller we need:

I don't get it...
Shouldn't be light green?
I think the sword did change from Aegis to Mythra's sword... so that's a plus.
And yes, I aware this is a fake...

mario123007 : I do still plan to get a Nintendo Switch some day, but it'll pretty much be for Super Mario Odyssey and the future Switch releases. Like I've said before, I had no reason to get a Switch when it was first released, since the first set of games for it were also available for the Wii U. But now that the Wii U's lifespan is pretty much over, I'll eventually have to join the Switch bandwagon if I want to play any upcoming releases.

It's definitely your choice, I didn't own a Wii U myself so I bought the Switch right when I have enough cash to buy. It was also hard to find...
And then Taiwan has official Switch in December 1st right at the XC2 launch... which made me both happy and salty because it is cheaper... but the fact that a Nintendo home console officially release in my country definitely means something. And Switch doesn't have region lock so it will sell way better than Wii and even 3DS because we can just buy the Japanese games, even so, Nintendo is doing a great job when it comes to Chinese localization recently.

I'll try to pick up a Nintendo Switch once I get home. I've found a few near where I live. Right now, I am visiting family but once that is done, I'll be on the hunt for the console.

 

[Deleted member]

Ok, so I got this comment on a Smash replay I uploaded long ago but???

Is this some copypasta I'm missing out? I can see the guy is talking about Naruto but why? Why my video? From more than 2 years ago? Where did this come from? I have so many questions...

Oh my, time sure flies...

I'm never going to get the trophies for high post counts, I gathered. 5k? 10k? 15k?!

Then I see people with 35-50k in 3-4 years. How?

I also have no idea what you people are talking about 95% of the time. That's okay though.

Oh my, time sure flies when you're arguing about FE and supporting the same characters from 2004. ;P

Man I'm too old for this. Maybe I just gotta do something new with my time here.

How the **** could you consider Ninian a loli?

Mostly cause:
A: Female Dragons having the appearance of a tiny girl is a tradition. Tiki in the 1st game, Fae in the 6th game, Myrrh in the 8th game, Nowi in the 13th game and Lilith in the 14th game. Ninian looks older than them, but having older-looking characters' age below 15 is child's play for Japan.
B: Blazing Sword was not safe from age bumpers, considering Lyn's age got changed from 15/16 to 18/19 in localized versions. While I don't think Ninian's age was ever revealed to warrant an age change, knowing IS, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if IS made her 13 in a remake and Localization is forced to give her a higher age much like Elise and Sakura. Age of consent and country differences are a pain.
C: Like I said, debatable. Cause we know how much Japan likes to mock our senses when it comes to age. She could be of legal age when it comes to the West, but really, it's Japan. Just like how Japan's Lucius' voice actor is female yet over here, Lucius' voice actor is a man.

That doesn't matter too much anyway... I mean, she is incredibly old thanks to her dragon blood... so, that only makes her age-apperanace something about perspective.

I'm wonder now how I found this site and why I haven't do it before, I mean, seeing people rally for their favorite characters is fun.

 

[Deleted member]

They should make more Nintendo Switch colors. ( Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Spaltoon, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, Kirby, etc themed ). I am sure most of you who do not have a Nintendo Switch are going to buy the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 themed Nintendo Switch.
If someone is actually making that personality thread McDonalds thing, put me in the "McDonalds? Disgusting" area please! I will not say it anymore. Thank you for reading.

 

[Hockeyfan44]

Just saw Enchantress' trailer, and she definitely is the Ermac of Injustice 2. She looks like she'll be really fun to play as.
And I guess while I'm at it, I might as well list whom I'd like to see added to Injustice (probably Injustice 3 in a few years) and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite.

Injustice 3: Ra's Al Ghul, Riddler, Killer Croc

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite: Hela, Loki, Asura, Bass, Green Goblin

Seems KOFXIV is getting a major update tentatively titled 3.0.

Right now all we know is that we're getting that character designed by a fan along with a new stage.

More details later this month apparently.

But she clearly looks to be Eliwood's age(well, in Dragon years at least), even in her Heroes art by the artist who moefied Elincia

It's a fan created character - here's some more info.

Her design definitely looks interesting; I haven't gotten KoF 14 yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it will turn out.

*looks at Lucina, Camilla, Tharja(twice), F!Corrin and Ike*

Elise I'll give you, while Shanna and Ninian are debatable.

True those top characters count, but I don't even remember who they were against.

Were any of them they fought considered lolis?

As for Shanna I feel she is young but looks old enough to not be a loli, at least imo. Ninian I don't see at all though, she seems to be around deidre's age imo and she's not young.

 

[praline]

I still hope theres dlc for MK8D. Race tracks should be free and racers and kart parts shoukd be paid for.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I still need to find out what's the release date for the story expansion DLC for Mario + Rabbids.

I've heard two different dates and they're 5 months apart.

Casual reminder that Lissa is seventeen post-timeskip, so the same age as Alm and Celica.

And Hector.

And Eliwood(since he's the same age as Hector)

And Roy and Lilina are 14/15, I dunno

 

[praline]

Honestly after the tournament of power arc 2 things need to happen. A considerable time skip, atleast a couple years, and the Z fighters getting some new people in their team, like Hit when Universe 6 inevitably gets revived so that it’s nit just Goku and Vegeta against the world.

Also something that doesn’t need to happen but I want to is for Piccolo to fuse with a bunch of Namekians so he can get more stronk.
