I'm finally making a signature of my own. Can't wait to do this for all of the other characters, but for now I have to go bed.

Yeah like NCS.

Nah he's alright.

Is that what you meant to say? I do remember that, why?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Which is why I'm skeptical about a hypothetical third Gen VII version on the Switch. I'm also slightly skeptical about Gen VIII being on the Switch, but at least there is less foreseeable issues with the latter than having Sun and Moon on the 3DS and the third version on the Switch. Even if they made it for both the 3DS and the Switch there's still the Switch version of it.

Connections between multiple Switches isn't a problem at all, apparently, like LAN I think? Which means having the Pokemon Games on the Switch is no problem at all. The ONLY problem is the interaction between a Switch and a 3DS. If they released both versions on one console, Switch or 3DS, no problem.

I think if the Switch really kicks off like they intend it to (selling more than the Wii is a bold prediction afterall) then Nintendo will go with just the Switch. Essentially killing the DS line of systems. I think this could be their ultimate goal as centering all their development resources on a single console would streamline their Gamers, Developers, and Advertising. It's a smart business decision because as of right now, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, the Switch and 3DS are competing with each other. No matter how much they stress it's a home console they are using the PORTABILITY of the Switch as its main selling point. Which is 3DS's shtick. But, hell, this IS Nintendo. They've haven't always made smart business decisions.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Hmm. I feel like I remember. . .

*click click*

Pokemon Yellow was a GB game in Japan and a GBC game internationally. A very different situation than now due to it being because the GBC wasn't out in Japan during it's release there, but I thought I remembered multiple variants of a game due to generational transition and that seems to have been it.

The main issue about communicating is due to hypothetical hardware differences, I'm not sure whether the 3DS and Switch have compatible communication channels or not. What I do know is that Pokemon Box is designed to completely sidestep hardware differences, so at the very least Pokemon transfer from gen to gen is unlikely to be stopped. That's not what people ask for when they request communication, though.

Pokemon Yellow is just a normal GB game. It displays different palettes based on the in game location on a GBC but it still released on a normal GB game pak in all regions. You can play it on the original Game Boy.
It's not like Gold and Silver, which while they can be played on the original Game Boy, actually look like a GBC game when played on a GBC. Then there's Crystal which can only be played on a GBC.

I don't think I've ever been so hyped watching a Smash 4 tournament in a long time, especially with a top 8 like this:

Seriously, I think I'm going to commit to watching the rest of 2GG's tournaments from now on, especially if they have Civil War's level of production quality.

I've heard some rather upsetting things about Splatoon 2's graphical power.

It hits a nice smooth 60 fps. Which is wonderful.

Unfortunately, it seems to be 720p docked and 530 undocked.

It supposedly looks much better in motion and I believe it but... I'm concerned.

It wasn't really noticeable to me in docked mode. And 720p is absolutely fine because it has that slick look to it where everything sort of looks like an action figure. So you could say that yes, it looks great in motion.

 

[Robertman2]

I doubt we'll see any mainline Pokemon games on the 3DS anymore. SuMo can barely run on the O3DS

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Just like with most Marvel Vs Capcom 3 speculation, Harp Note is seen as the most wanted Mega Man Starforce rep. Apollo Flame was definitely close, and did better than the biggest Mega Man Starforce villain.

Now fir the final Mega Man subseries that's seen as a 100 year sequel to Zero, Mega Man ZX. As the black sheep of the franchise, the characters in this universe use Model W's Elton emulate the appearance and abilities of long dead reploids and Mavericks. Your choices are Vent/Aile, Grey/Ashe, Aeolus, and Atlas. The main characters of ZX 1 and 2 are paired because they can easily be alts a la Robin and Wii Fit Trainer.

I think it's safe to say at this point that we shouldn't expect much better than this in terms of resolution and graphical fidelity right now, at least not until the first year is over.

I mean Splatoon 2 isn't even some huge step up from the original in terms of graphics. They improved the lighting a bit but that seems to be about it. Otherwise it basically seems like the same game in terms of graphics. So to not have that running at higher resolutions seems a bit worrying, especially since BotW didn't even hit native 1080p and that was a last gen game's port.

Zelda log thingy (Not really spoilers, I keep things vague, but I'll spoiler it just in case people don't know anything)

Spoiler: Spoilers?

I just defeated one of the Divine Beasts in Zelda

I probably solved a few puzzles in the non-intended way but the funniest part was when I killed the boss by throwing the spear of the mini-Guardian in the Beast.

For the rest I just spammed arrows and appearantly that's enough to get the best power as a reward.

But the best part was that I did it in a Wind Waker Pyjamas outfit:

-Champions Tunic
-Orange Rito Pants
-Snowquill Hair

with the latter two being mandatory because it was too cold for normal clothes.

Ah yes, Wind Ganon is pretty easy. I still found it fun to fight because I'm a sucker for the Bullet Time Shooting mechanic.

And yes, Revali's Gale is probably the most practical ability alongside what you get after the Goron quest.

seems fine to me. It was pretty darn smooth. It works, right, then you have nothing to worry about

 

[Aetheri]

So let me get this straight...

ZeRo lost to a Zero Suit that ISN'T Nairo or Marss...

Ally loses to a Samus...

ZeRo and Ally are not in Top 8 and a Link is Top 3...

What is life right now?...

DK and Link in Top 8 and Fatality going on an absolute rampage were one of the highlights of this tournament.
But I really have to hand it to Dabuz finally winning a major, guy deserves it, he puts so much work into Rosa.

They're going for Performance and Optimization than Graphics.


Be happy on that regard. If you want this to be a big esports game, then you need it to run smoothly and consistent.

Competitive games that run like **** don't last long.

Well it probably won't make it big as a competitive game either way.

The shooter scene is a whole different beast to the fighting game scene.

It will probably have it's own independent community and Nintendo will likely hold tournaments the odd time, but I don't see this game getting into mainstream competitive tournaments (particularly those focused on the shooter genre) due to the demographic/identity hurdle it has to get over. Plus the control style won't suit the majority of competitive shooter players who prefer using either specialised controllers or a PC mouse + keyboard.

Also Switches are expensive and I'm not sure how willing Nintendo would be to provide them to venues for free at this point in the console's life (especially since it's dealing with shortages right now).

I was very impressed with 2GG's Civil War. Great job to the production crew making everything work. I enjoyed the skits during downtime as well. Well made and entertaining.

But, holy ****, this tournament was crazy. ZeRo and Ally both eliminated shockingly early, and characters like Donkey Kong and Link in Top 8? What even?

 

[Opossum]

One tournament =/= a big competitive scene

And that's coming from someone who thinks Splatoon could eventually be capable of having one. It'd require a TON of support and push from Nintendo (as in, not just one tournament in Japan), and for the Switch stock situation (the Swituation, if you will) to improve, but it's not impossible. Just improbable at the moment for logistical reasons.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I'm hoping we see some sort of test fire for ARMS, seems like something they should do if they want to sell people on the game.

I can see it having a big tourny. I think it would work

 

[ChikoLad]

You're missing the point.

I already acknowledged that there would be an independent community for the game. It's not that difficult to set up a local tournament if you really are willing to dedicate the time and money, and have the player base in your area. Original Splatoon had this too.

But in terms of being part of the mainstream shooter scene in e-sports, it has a lot of things holding it back, and it isn't really made with that demographic in mind.

It could work well for the odd official competition geared towards young kids and teenagers that serves to promote the game (saw Nintendo promote one on Twitter today actually), and there will be independent communities that hold tournaments for fun at conventions and such (Switch being portable will help with this), but it's probably not going to be this big thing that adults compete for money in. Much like the original Splatoon, Nintendo didn't really build it with a competitive scene in mind by the looks of it, and the game inherently isn't built with the mainstream shooter demographic in mind (they generally prefer their gritty and cool military shooters like Counterstrike and CoD).

It's not like it needs to be an e-sport to be a successful game though.

 

[Opossum]

You know, people are always clamoring for a Mother 3 English release on the Virtual Console. I say forget that and give me an official English version of New Mystery of the Emblem instead.


I also think it's infinitely more likely.

Splatoon would have the same problem as smash did not being a real fighting game but with shooters even before stuff like getting good support from nintendo

Or if Shadows of Valentia is successful, they'll probably just straight up remake it on 3DS or Switch.

The "Echoes" subtitle seems like it's more intended to represent a series of remakes going forward as opposed to SoV itself.

Splatoon actually has many tournaments Japan leading up to a massive one where the finalists of each region play in the Splatoon Koshien Finals, with it's 2nd year ending round February.

I thought of that, but thought that it may seem like a waste to Japan, considering it'd be a remake of a remake. It's new enough that I don't think an additional remake is needed, but if they translate it and give it the same push EarthBound/EarthBound Beginnings got, I think it could be worth it.

Nah, what we need is a remake of Thracia 776 with 100% more bull****(how about we add pair ups to the enemies only? Or 1~5 Rng Archers?).
And no english translation in the west, instead, the game will be in Japanese for added difficulty. Japan itself will get the game in Latin.

My bad, I thought it was an NES original game. I thought Shadow Dragon was the only FE remake on the DS, I didn't realise Japan got a second one. That'd be cool to get internationally.

Yeah, Fire Emblem 12 holds the dubious honor of being the only post-FE6 Fire Emblem game that never made it westward.

It doesn't help that it's supposedly better than Shadow Dragon in every way imaginable, something a sequel should strive for.
