Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[Arcadenik]

But the Switch game cartridges are coated with a chemical that is used as rat poison or antifreeze.

 

[Ivander]

What are you talking about? I saved like 5 people, and literally everytime they say thanks and then walk away.

I got stuff for saving 2 people. There was one where I didn't get anything, but for the other 2, both gave me food as a reward.

 

[praline]

How much health/stamina everyone got?

I have 6 hearts and the base stamina.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Just came back from seeing Logan.

Do yourself a favor and see this movie. I'm not even an X-Men fan and I loved it.

I never cry during movies, but this movie is the closest I've ever gotten.

Spoiler

I feel bad for that poor family,
They take in Logan, Xavier, and Laura, and they get brutally killed.

Well, at least dog's supposedly think Anti-Freeze tastes good. So keep your switch games away from them

It's intense soaring through the air in a thunderstorm.

5 hearts and 1 and a quarter stamina...

What's cool about this new method is that if you want you can change it later as well...

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I forgot how fun Bomberman is.

Love Bomberman R. <3

Magnet Bomber is ****ing wrecking me. I'm awful.

 

[Knight Dude]

Hey, there's a really nice remix of the Opening Stage(Robot Museum) from Mega Man and Bass.

Figured I'd share it here since I tend to do that every so often.

 

[Aetheri]

How?

Talk to the horned statue outside of Hateno Village...

 

[praline]

Talk to the horned statue outside of Hateno Village...

Good to know.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

People like being stupid. That's the only explanation I can think of.



Right, but it's the fact that after finding that out, more people decided to start tasting it for themselves.

On the bright side, the Switch tasting memes are pretty good.

"What's wrong Reggie?"

"I don't know, I feel... a disturbance."

 

[MF Viewtiful]

I swear every time someone mentions how bad the Switch carts taste likes, there's another set of people ready, willing, and able for another taste.

Reverse psychology at work.

But how great is the humor? The voice acting? Love it.

''The traps?"
-Explosions-
''The traps?!"
-Red shows up-
''WHAT? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?! THAT IS NOT AN ENTRANCE!"

I learned how to make custom potions in minecraft

I'm making a western map, so I made:

Whisky
Nausea 3, Strength 3 for 600 ticks

I'm interested in the game as I played Bomberman on Wii at a friends house and want to give it a shot here.

But I heard its gotten okay reviews and doesn't work properly with things like lag online and lag in normal gameplay and menus.

Is that true?

I haven't had any problems..

Except for my ineptitude.

Just 4 hearts and base stamina lol

 

[praline]

Well since I got my ears pierced I gotta sleep weird so I'm not lying on either ear.

Unless I'm being dumb and can? Idek.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Same here. I haven't played online just yet though.

 

[praline]

Same here. I haven't played online just yet though.

I can only play online when not docked for some dumb reason.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I can only play online when not docked for some dumb reason.

Is that....uh...a normal thing?

I mean I don't mind really, but that'd be a weird design flaw.

I think it's just a bug.

 

[Aurane]

Something stupid but its almost 1 in the morning here and I can't sleep.

My personal thoughts on who's who in an AU of Undertale but everyone's a Pokémon except the fallen humans. Note that I'm not covering every Pokémon, and not all of them will make too much sense.

Spoiler

Frisk/Chara: Same, but with a Pokémon Trainer attire. This is the norm for most Pokétale AUs but it works.
-
Toriel, Asgore, Asriel: Lucario family. Toriel and Asgore are Lucario, but Asriel is a Shiny Riolu, but has the form of a Shiny Mega Lucario in the final boss in Pacifist Mode.
-
Flowey: I see a lot of AUs portraying Flowey as a Sunflora and I hate it. First of all, Flowey isn't a monster like other monsters are. He's a literal flower which separates himself from the others. So making him a Sunflora who's actually a Riolu just never really fitted into place with me. So like Frisk/Chara, Flowey is the same. However, instead of yellow petals, he'll have red petals to symbolize the Poké Ball.
-
Sans/Papyrus: Lots of twin Pokémon out there, but my vote goes to Throh Sans and Sawk Papyrus. After seeing this, I just simply cannot accept them as anything else. Instead of skeleton puns, Sans will telling Fighting-Type puns, like "Throh me a Sawk" sort of thing.
-
Undyne: Hard to decide between Vaporeon and Swampert here, but I'll say Swampert because Undyne could utilize Swampert's Mega Evolution in the Genocide fight.
-
Alphys: There's probably better options, but I like the idea of Pokétale Alphys being a Heliolisk for two reasons. For starters, the designs are very similar, and her typing is contrast to Undyne Swampert's, making the whole odd couple thing fit really well.
-
Mettaton: This was harder then I imagined, but we got to understand just WHAT Mettaton is before we really decide what he is. Mettaton is a SOUL who was built by Alphys. So with that in mind, the obvious answer is the same as the regular Mettaton (all forms) but with a Rotom color scheme and glow. Mettaton himself is the Rotom inside the machine- something Rotoms are capable of doing.
-
Napstablook: Ignoring the plausible relationship between Mettaton and Napstablook, my vote goes to Blooky being a Shuppet. Its a popular choice by most and its not hard to see why. The two are very similar in design, and the contrast versus normal Shuppet is pretty cute.
-
Dummy/Mad Dummy: I really wanted to go the Rotom route again, but this implies Mettaton and the Dummies are related, and like Blooky, I don't want that implication. So instead my vote's for Gastly possessing a Substitute doll. Mad Dummy would possess a more beat up version with rips and stitches.
-
Muffet: Lots of spiders to choose from. However, none of them give that Spider Girl motif. So I went an alternate route and voted for Sableye with Spider Pokémon friends, like Galvantula. Sableye gathers jewels and such, so it could imply a desire for riches, of course obviously, it dines on such things, and for bake sales she could make gem-like dishes along with the spider cider and such.
-
Guess I'll stop there. I'm tired after typing and thinking this so I guess it worked. Alright. Nighty night.

By the way...

We have a music track sample.

To the surprise of probably no one, Bloodstained is getting a Switch port.

Question: How many consoles do some of you folks own?

I've got so many right now I wouldn't even know where to put the Switch if I had it....

PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, GBA, DS, 3DS, Wii and Wii U.

I rarely play others than PS3, PS4, 3DS and Wii U anymore.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Spoiler

My guess for Female Broly's name is Cauly/Cauli; based on the cauliflower, a vegetable similar to the broccoli.

I'm going to save this post in the event you get close to the actual name

Question: How many consoles do some of you folks own?

I've got so many right now I wouldn't even know where to put the Switch if I had it....

Of the ones in commission: Nintendo Switch, PS4 (Main non-Nintendo platform), Wii U (for the rest of the unfinished Wii U backlog), PS3 (MAHVEL, Persona 4 Arena and Red Dead Redemption Machine) and 3DS.

Out of commission: Vita, Gamecube, Wii, DS, and other legacy systems like SNES, NES and Game Boy.

And it seems that the Switch has done a respectable job on its first few days on the market (this is for the United Kingdoms region) http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-03-06-strong-start-for-nintendo-switch-in-the-uk

Spoiler: If one is lazy

Switch sold about 80k in the first weekend, which is double the Wii U's 40k, but less than the 3DS's 113k. Surprisingly, Breath of the Wild was beat out sales wise by Horizon: Zero Dawn, but still did well and made it to second place, and H:ZD has become the best new IP launch on PS4 (beating the mistake that was No Man's Sky)

So it seems pretty encouraging so far, but from the occasional glances over at the subreddits, it seems that New Zealand (or perhaps PAL regions in general) might be one of the areas that the Switch might not be as strong, mainly because of the pricing of the unit (469 Australian Dollars, and other systems are currently selling at around the same price or probably less on the smaller models and often come with a game)

I guess so far, the Switch might be doing well, but it's still early days. Perhaps as time goes on and when more units are distributed, it'll be able to remain on a fairly positive trend that would suggest success in this competitive market.

As for when/if I might get Horizon? That's a 'Maybe later' response. NieR: Automata is the only other major March title I'm truly looking to invest in.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The Switch's first week sales in the UK aren't bad. BotW is the second best sold game in the week, beatem by Horizon, and the Switch itself sold 80k. For comparison sake, the Xbox 360 sold 75k and the Wii U 40k. Not too bad

Also yeeee, Hideki Kamiya tweeted about Kamen Rider figures. Should have known he liked the franchise judging by Viewtiful Joe and Wonderful 101

 

[Curious Villager]

Reverse psychology at work.

Note to self : "Never buy pre owned Switch games..."

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Lol, someone's trying to **** with Jim Sterling again, he made a video on a typical early access game and the developer screwed with him and is now saying "We give you permission to take your video down, ask us permission and then reupload it should we give you permission"

Currently only my 3DS.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Only 6 days left until that Smash 4 group is good as gone.

I'm already speaking with some mates about whether they are fine with starting a new Puyo Puyo and Senran Kagura discussion thread here. Still deciding things for now.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Meanwhile, I wondering when there will be any restocks.

Not that I'm getting a Switch immediately. Just curious.

 

[Metal Shop X]

OK, I have a serious question. Who drawn the Metal Gear in MGS? Who is the person who designed those thing and didn't ragequit after like the fourth times trying to drawn the cannon? Because right now, I'm sure close to ragequit my drawning.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Might as well get this out of the way with a class starting soon.

Anyways, Gangrel won due to the General census that he is the most welll developed villain in Awakening. Not to mention him being a sole Leven Sword user would be cool (without tomes unlike Robin).

Finally, we are doing Fire Emblem Fates. This one is a real doozy because it's split by kingdom, Nohr or Hoshido. For now, I will handle characters that can be found in both games or are main characters. These options are Azura, Jakob, Felicia, or Kaze. That's a nice range of characters even though some had to be ignored (Most notably Silas and Mozu). I will start with the Birthright cast first knowing it's the "Awakening" of the two games. Nohr shall be handled last.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Good luck.

 

[Aetheri]

Working on my first "Dungeon" of the game currently...It was quite the buildup getting here. Some of the puzzles are quite clever, it takes a little bit of thinking to figure things out...

This place is rather unsettling...i like it...


also fixed my sig...

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Johnny finally did a proper review of this game! I actually enjoyed it when I played it flaws aside
