"Early 2018"

The first trailer, and it's already been delayed? I knew that "leak" seemed dodgy. Hmph. But now I know to plan for a 2028-ish EU release.

The 3DS will never die at this rate. (Not that I'm complaining, since I don't plan on buying a Switch just yet.)

That 2018 was an error, they fixed it

It doesn't matter what this "leak" contains, because there's one MAJOR flaw to this: Nintendo hasn't used that red logo in years.

Nintendo currently uses a white logo on a red background (a.k.a. the OPPOSITE of what we're seeing)

Correct.

Actually I think the GameCube/GBA era was the last time they had the red logo (because Wii & Wii U eras had a gray logo)

Edit: Late Wii & DS started the gray logo

Patch notes for tomorrow's FE Heroes update. Along with Tempest Trials, they're making a bunch of QoL improvements.

SO glad they're adding a "Claim All" option to the Quest Rewards menu, it always baffled me that they didn't have that. I also like how we can set our Arena Defense team manually.

"Tomorrow"? It's been live for the past 18 hours or so, we've already datamined the hell out of it. You need to update via the App/Play Store, not in-game. It's the Tempest Trials that start from tomorrow, but you need to download the update first in order to play it. But you can get the quality-of-life stuff right now. My favourite bit is being able to name teams. Pretty soon we'll see teams named "Four Marths" that are actually made up of four different iterations of Lucina.

Spoiler: Datamined stuff

• "Marth"'s art:

• https://fireemblemwiki.org/wiki/File:FEH_Masked_Marth_03.png

• Zephiel's GHB is returning, so get training him if you already have him (Sharena is also required for the accompanying missions)
• Focus banner for "units with Vantage" (Gordin, Reinhardt, and Lon'qu, presumably)
• Focus banner for the Tempest Trials (don't know who's on it, though)
• New Xenologue chapter: https://fireemblemwiki.org/wiki/The_Brink_of_Chaos/Script
• New sacred seal, Quickened Pulse, which lowers your special cooldown by 1 at the start of a map (but only at the start of a map)

Appently no pokemon game on switch makes Nintendo very bad.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

To be fair, the fighting game quote was probably taken out of context.

Also, Sakurai did seem to approach DLC as each character filling some "role".

Corrin was straight up confirmed to be picked from characters who could serve for promotion.

Mewtwo was "special thanks"



Notice how with Mewtwo's promotion they NEVER mentioned that he was a cut veteran. When he was announced, the April Fools direct, his released, his description on the EShop...nothing. However: Roy and Lucas were seen as "returning" characters.

Sakurai has always been VERY involved with the promotion of Smash -- ever from the first Smash Dojo. We know from Chris Pranger, that Sakurai had hundreds of hours of recording done just for a 10-second commercial.

So while it is indeed speculation, it's speculation that has a number of pieces of evidence supporting it.

That's fair enough, though you still haven't adressed my latter question about why Roy would be the cut Melee rep when Dr. Mario is already there and there is also the poor logic inherent (if true) regarding choosing one Melee rep and one Brawl rep.

That fake Spotlight paper leak is hilariously bad.

Also lol at their FE16 subtitle. For a series with names like Sacred Stones, Awakening, Path of Radiance, and Genealogy of the Holy War, "Broken Alliance" sounds horrendously out of place.

 

[Curious Villager]

I just never thought people would be so mad that Switxh didnt get a pokemon game and 3DS did

I think the problem is that people expected Nintendo to just dump the 3DS like, right the very minute the Switch came out. Multiple official statement's saying otherwise didn't convince them, a Direct didn't convince them, a new 2DS XL release didn't convince them, not even Pokemon convinced them! Because Nintendo said that the DS wouldn't replace the GBA, although didn't that also stick around for at least a year too?

I don't get why people are so hellbent on Nintendo quickly killing off the 3DS anyway, let the Switch settle in properly first, it's barely been out for a few months and most people don't have the financial investment yet to just move on to the next console like that. Forcing all your consumers from both the hand held and home console market to move on to the next system and so abruptly sounds like a terrible business plan to me. Didn't Sega make a similar kind of mistake like that once?

In the Netherlands we have this figure of speech:"Don't throw your old shows away before you get new ones.". I don't get why people are mad Nintendo's following this

The PS4 has remasters on top of a ton of new games to play. Meanwhile the Switch is mostly ports, and it's future is mostly ports. This will of course change, but as of right now, it's lackluster.

Actually, people were throwing tantrums that the 3DS was getting any support at all long before Pokemon was announced, this just sent it into overdrive.

People seem to think Nintendo should drop everything they've already dumped money into making and not make any quick asset recycling cash-ins that simply wouldn't happen on the Switch period, the realistic fact that development cycles exist and regardless of what they did these franchises would be at least a couple years off on the Switch be darned.

It's like the console equivalent of people ripping into Pittoo for "taking K. Rool's slot." No, no they didn't. Not all effort put into something is equal.

"Mostly ports" Like the PS3. And the Switch is only 3 months old with a bunch of games confirmed already. Besides, Nintendo has had at least one major release per month since it launched. BotW (Switch version outright outsold the Switch), MK8D, ARMS, Splatoon 2. That's not too bad for a system out for such a short time. And we're getting Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, third party support. Really, it's already got a more promising line up than the Xbox One really has imo

I don't remember the PS3 only having ports at all.

And I also don't get why you keep trying to dig up an older console that had the same misstep as something the Switch is being criticised for as some sort of shallow defense.

Just because some system in the past had a bad launch, or just because some system in the past had lackluster ports of last gen games, doesn't mean it's OK for Nintendo to do it. Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

[Knight Dude]

Played Tekken 7 for the first time today. God damn is the move list overwhelming, but the game plays crisp. Def want to put time into that.

Not sure if anyone else told you, but you usually don't need to utilize an entire move-list. Most character I think use 30 or so really important ones.

Things like 10 strings aren't too great,since they rarely leave the opponent in a good juggle state.

I just saw the image on Twitter. It's not about how many ports/remasters there are, but how much of the library consists of it. PS4 has a lot of remasters, but it also has a ton more new games on top of it. The Switch will pick up with tine, but at the moment, it's library is very port/remaster heavy.

And who's talking about the Xbox One?

 

[ChikoLad]

Also want to point out that that one image of all of the last gen PS4 remasters mostly contains third party ones, those have nothing to do with Sony though.

Have you not heard of the 'PS3 has no games' thing?

Also with ports, y'all mean the Deluxe stuff Nintendo's doing and BotW? Because if so, I assumed you meant 'games that also release on other systems' and I can't see that as a negative

4 Wii U games confirmed period. 'port/remaster heavy'
I had to add the forth because I suddenly remembered that LEGO game. Snot THAT heavy considering what's coming

Mostly ports??

Well I mean, third parties of course because we knew long before the Switch was even announced third parties can't be bothered to give a crud about Nintendo, but Nintendo themselves only has one port in the pipeline and five original games. Even if you want to count the game with release parity on the New 3DS (LOL) as a port, that's still four original games.

And they've already released one original game (that people hate, but just like Federation Force we can't erase things from reality just because people hate them), one game that had release parity (did every game that had release parity on both the PS3 and PS4 count as a port?), and one full on port.

Overall Nintendo released/is releasing 5 games that never touched anything else. In nine months. While the hardware hasn't even been solidified long enough for a lot of their teams to likely have anything ready.

E3 is in six days.

Detractors of every console will claim it has "no games". Par for the course.

PS3 had a slow start, but even when it picked up (and it really did), I don't recall it being heavy on remasters of PS2 era games. Those actually only came out around the END of the PS3's life, and were of decade old games at that point. Nintendo's Switch remasters/deluxe games are of games that aren't even a half a decade old. Pokkén isn't even two years old yet.

I don't know what other people's issues with the Wii U remastered games for Switch are, but the issues I've noticed with them are:

-They're sold at full price, and don't add enough content to justify them being bought at that price for people who had the originals. Yet they're intended to be the major titles of that period (MK8DX was the major Spring game), so people who had the originals are left with a drought because they have no major release to buy that they don't already own on Wii U. For as much as people **** on other companies for making remasters in a year or two, those are almost always sold at a discounted price compared to what people bought the original games for. This is a win-win for both new players and people who owned the originals. It's both good for the company's image and can bring in more sales because of the cheap price in comparison to other games coming out at the same time. Nintendo is bad at pricing in general so this is a larger problem with how they operate altogether, though.

-The content they add is in this weird place where most of it doesn't feel substantial enough to warrant a new retail release. MK8DX wasn't too bad because Battle Mode is a new addition that likely could not have been done via DLC in the Wii U version, but Pokkén has had the data for the new fighters (sans Decidueye or whatever his name is) in the Wii U version for months now, so it's no wonder people are a bit peeved that they're being held back for a new, full-price release on a new, expensive system.

In my opinion, if Nintendo is to make a Smash Wii U port for Switch, it either has to be sold at a discounted price if it's as minor as the additions in Pokkén (i.e. just a handful of new characters and stages with QoL improvements, essentially a €60 DLC pack), or they actually add something significant to the game that sets it apart from the Wii U version and THEN sell it at full price (i.e. 3DS version stages, Smash Run, something like Adventure Mode or Subspace Emissary, Tournament Mode, a better mode for amiibo, etc).

I've said it time and time again, but Hyrule Warriors Legends and Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy are the gold standard to which I hold ports/remasters in terms of having enough new content to justify the double dip. One of these is a Nintendo game, so it's not like Nintendo doesn't know how to do it.

Netflix made a mistake a year ago where the server accidentally categorized Babadook as a LGBT film.

Then naturally, Tumblr took it and ran with it for a year. Almost every LGBT website (Even Teen Vogue) is unironically enjoying the meme. Even to the point here he's mimetically deemed a gay icon for Pride Month.
