Holy god, I just saw what happen to Meowth.
RIP, you were the greatest character Pokemon character because you were actually talking.
That his dream live now in the heart of many.
Amen

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

I was prepared for trouble but not for this.

IIRC the gold Meowth is a reference too.

I want Arbok and Weezing back....

I am so sorry for your loss

Good news is the game doesn't stop getting better! Or crazier!







Also a poll for y'all
http://www.strawpoll.me/12206777

It's based on how often the members of SMASHboards play SMASH bros.

Why? I have no idea.

I voted for "every frew months".

Here's a question.

How do you feel about emulation and ROMs?

Think they're fine? Bad? Does it depend?

Depends. I mainly use them to play old games not found on stores (or Virtual Console) anymore.

On the topic of emulation from a few pages ago:
If I think ot's wrong? Maybe, but there's no way in hell that I'm paying and trying to find games that are 10 years ols or more
With the way emulation works, a stable emulator will only come out after that console's lifespan ends so I don't see the problem with it.
Hell, I'd never have played any of the SNES games I played outside of SMW if it wasn't for a SNES emulator with a bunch of games I got with my PS2.
I could also talk about how every single PS2 game I ever played was pirated but that's a discussion for another day.

So here's a neat what-if.

In the future, you help Sakurai pick the roster for an upcoming Smash game. You get your perfect Smash...with one catch.

You must also choose five third party characters that, while still video game characters by origin, have never appeared on a Nintendo console.

Which five video game characters do you pick, assuming "none" is not a viable answer?

oh this is easy
Kameo(kameo elements of power), Jude(tales of xillia), Gwendolyn(odin sphere), Asagi(Makai kingdom), Solaire(darksouls)

Tracer from Overwatch
2B from NieR: Automata
Lighting from Final Fantasy XIII, if not new character I want a Cloud alt of her.
Kat from Gravity Rush
Timo from League of Legends, I'm not joking.

And despite I respect Blunty's view on Nintendo, his recent videos about Nintendo Switch is just absurd, especially after presentation.
But this I also concern about Pokemon on Switch's paid online, but then again, he talks about a game that we haven't even seen or heard from Nintendo. Also paid online that a lot of us are worrying but don't know its details.
That Olivia artwork is amazing, howeverI already know that artwork before watching this one, so that's not a praise on this video.

What is even more amazing is when you check his comment section, it's normal that some agrees with his thoughts, while others try to give their own opinions that oppose to his points, how he replies is really ridiculous. Just like how any anti-Nintendo troll comments. He mentions that it is a good thing that he at least do check his comment section, but a bit too overboard I say...
Don't get me wrong though I like most of his videos and I don't really want to view Blunty way too negatively, I'm also ok that people give their own thoughts on Switch as long as you are convincing enough. Here's a comment I found on other Youtuber video which tells it all:

By far the worst (Switch review) is Blunty. The rest are fine, even Review Tech USA was grand and balanced but Blunty was an absolute troglodyte occurring anything that said the Switch was any good, or even unique, even accepting practically debunked hardware rumours and more. He even tried to claim connecting an Android device to a TV wirelessly with a Bluetooth controller was more convenient than the Switch... Ignoring the plain fact that it's not nearly as convenient, the Switch's many unique aspects and that it has VASTLY superior gameplay experiences. Boogie is OK. Haedox is obnoxious, but he's honest.

Tl;dr
Don't take Blunty's Nintendo view seriously since it's way too subjective.

Lol I just used a Dry Skin Paras against Totem Wishiwashi and it couldn't touch me. I'm going to build a rain team around it now.

Edit: Wierd, my post went bold.

This stage was already seen in the game's trailer but they're just giving us more info on it. If anyone knows Japanese and can translate, that would be great.

Am I the only one waiting until Sun and Moon comes on Disney XD to watch it?

 

[Erureido]

The Second Heroes and Heroines trailer for Fire Emblem Heroes just came out this morning.

The trailer reveals that Hinoka won't be voiced by E.G. Daily this time. Cindy Robinson is her new voice actress for the game.

I was before, but now I'm not really interested at watching the series at all. Partially because I got into a different show.

Here's a question.

How do you feel about emulation and ROMs?

Think they're fine? Bad? Does it depend?

I used to pirate everything I could when I was a teen. I still remember getting an R4 for the DS and stuff, and having SNES, N64, and GBA emulators on my PC. Hell, I also remember pirating my version of Skyrim on PC like 6 years ago.

Now it depends.

I'll go out of my way to contribute and support any small companies who I feel deserve my money. Vanillaware, Ark System Works, Platinum Games, Respawn Entertainment, indie devs. I'll go out of my way to pay full price for a game made by a small studio if I'm interested in the game, or a fan of the series/studio.

I understand that making games costs a lot of money, and breaking even can be very hard for 3rd party devs. That said, I also have no qualms with pirating old games from previous gens, or from greedy companies.

It basically comes down to:

Is the company greedy?
Is the platform hackable?
Yes and Yes? I'll pirate if I like their games.

Is it an old game from many generations ago?
Does the studio who made the even exist anymore?
Is pirating/emulation cheaper/more convenient than buying it (portability, mods, better performance)?
Pirate

Large AAA?
Are the games available at reasonable prices with good discounts (Steam, PS+ etc...)?
Yes and Yes? I won't pirate, but I'll buy it at a low price.

Is it a small Japanese studio or an indie dev?
Do I like their games?
Am I a fan?
I'll buy it a full price to support the company.

It's my way of kinda bringing balance to things. I want small devs to flourish and make more games, and more competition is always good. I don't feel bad about stealing from a large greedy multinational corporation worth billions of dollars.

I pretty much emulate pirate everything Nintendo these days. I used to only pirate their old games, since emulation is solid and convenient, they overcharge on the games (and no account system), and I wanted to show Nintendo that there was demand for certain games on their newest platforms. But now it's kinda the opposite, and out of principle. I actually bought all of my WiiU games cause I wanted to support the console and see more games on it, but after what happened, now it's like "nah son," 3DS, Wii, and WiiU are all hacked, and I'll be pirating BotW. I've said it once and I'll say it again. I like Nintendo as developers, they're absolutely brilliant, but I've grown to severely dislike them as a company over the years. They're easily one of the greediest companies in the industry.

I always imagined Eliwood's voice to be a little more soft
Surprised to see Ursula featured before any of the main villains lol
"You'll be going home... in pieces" why wasn't this one of his crit quotes in Fates?

Also, I checked Fae's artist Yuji Himukai because that style looked familiar and...

Yup, it's who I thought it was
Please tell me he's going to draw more than lolis, I'd kill for a EO styled Joshua

Late but I fully support them.
I personally didn't have a Nintendo system until I got my 3DS in 2014, and I'm not too fond of the idea of paying to play old games (Though I do own a few games on the VC).
If it wasn't for emulators, I would've never been able to expirience any pre-Gen 6 Pokemon game (aside from maybe Gen 5 since I did get my W2 copy from a friend and another one of my friends used to own Black and he could've given it to me, or Gen 1 because RBY were released on the 3DS VC, but I honestly wish I didn't play the former) since DS games are so expensive these days and I don't own any unit of the Gameboy family.
Do I feel bad about playing games illegally? Sometimes. Do I want to pay in order to play them legally? Not really. Guess it's Pirate Life for me, Yo-Ho!
On the same topic, I'm getting a Flashcart soon, and I'll start another Pokemarathon once my Summer vacation starts (Assuming I'll get a new 3DS by then), but there are about 4 or 5 months until that happens.

Fae! And Ogma! :D

Also, I was amused to see Eliwood has the same VA as Marth.

 

[Deleted member]

I also checked that Amagaitaro guy/gal who is drawing Nino and Catria and... well, let's just say by clicking the second result which was a pixiv japanese page makes me SO glad that Nino doesn't follow their usual style
Of course, assuming that is the same Amagaitaro because there are a bunch of results but considering how Catria turned out, I'm sure of it

 

[Metal Shop X]

Please, can someone can tell me how to stop the chat on Twitch? Seeing all those stupid comment is beginning to burn my head, and I can't find the option right now.

 

[Champ Gold]

Apparently the Switch DOES have voice chatting without a need of an app


http://gimmegimmegames.com/2017/01/...-chat-probably-isnt-exclusive-smartphone-app/


If that's the case then that's good but why wasn't this corrected by Nintendo themselves a while ago and let people go wild with speculation for TWO WEEKS about Switch having no voice chat

 

[Opossum]

Here's a question.

My views on that are pretty simple: unless you own the game (or if the game was never released in a language you speak/region your system isn't compatible with) it's pirating and shouldn't be done. Basically, emulating Genealogy of the Holy War because it was never released in the US? Very much understandable. Pirating, say, Arms once it comes out? Absolutely no excuse and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

I like how they only showed him being from Conquest and not birthright also

Probably late to the party, but yesterday I finally got around to watching girls und Panzer yesterday. Really good show.

I told myself I wouldn't binge the whole show in one day, but I did anyway...I need to stop doing that. >_>

so that hey can announce they listened to community feed back and undo something that never was a thing

Get hyped.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

View attachment 125380

The trailer saying Jakob comes from Conquest references how he is from Nohr. It's similar to how the last trailer approached Azura and said she is from Birthright in order to reference how she comes from Hoshido (when you first meet her).

Get hyped.

Oh boy, something tells me the Link x Zelda shipping in BotW will be an even bigger deal than Skyward Sword was.

Intense Link and Zelda handholding

Truly the highest of sexual content

What's new?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Tweet from Minecraft's actual creators

"WIP for MCPC 1.12 and MCPE 1.1, based on the new palette. The noise needs some tweaking, but you get the idea"

LOL, it sounds like they just add some noise to their textures to

For some reason Minecraft textures just look better with random/ semi random noise

Ahh, I thought that was showing what games he was from

But anyway since he is shown in the game, Im happy. I love his new art

According to other people, yes. She's not wearing pants.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Not at all, because that is awesome (she is one of my favourite FE characters). People really love cool, green-haired ladies.

According to other people, yes. She's not wearing pants.

Neither does Palutena (who interestingly enough is also another green-haired Nintendo female).

Well, maybe her special outfit will be wearing pants

She's not wearing underwear either, or a full dress
