Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[KingofPhantoms]

Good Lord, I haven't seen this many users online in eons.

We barely know anything except that it exists, it's coming out this year, and it has Inklings, even so, the hype is real.

 

[Deleted member]

This thread just exploded, literally.
Also the YouTuber's reactions were golden.
The Smash 4 meta will slowly die, and then the Smash for Switch meta will take that place.

 

[Knight Dude]

I should probably remind you all that we still have Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon on the way.

The Switch Train doesn't ****ing stop, ever. You're here until death.

EMBRACE IT.

Don't forget the homeboy Mega Hombre . We still got Mega Hombra Once on the horizon.

Don't forget the homeboy Mega Hombre . We still got Mega Hombra Once on the horizon.

Bandai Namco isn't on the trailer at the bottom right. Any thoughts?

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If it's a port, they'll probably be safe.

If it's a new game, I'm pretty sure they'll have a new look (the taller, slimmer version used from New Leaf onward

I hope so because that will be the dealbreaker if they are gone

 

[Mythra]

WHY THE HECK I CAN'T MANAGE TO GET A SINGLE LINE REEEEEEEEEE

Mythra You know what to do.

I'll start working on it when my hands stop shaking

 

[mario123007]

I guess I have to get a switch now

ok..........

Plus Ice Climbers, RIGHT???? *Leans heavily into face, while breathing heavily*

Just kidding, but most agree Ice Climbers is what would've made the roster of Smash 4 feel more complete.

Also did anybody else see the rose Waluigi had in his mouth during the Mario Tennis segment?

Cause all I can say is: Sexy Waluigi confirmed.

Ya know, I guess I need to do some Direct review:
Things I am disappointed:
- Luigi's Mansion on 3DS rather than Switch, for now.
- Captain Toad Treasure Tracker port than Xenoblade X port.... for now
- Okami HD only on eshop... for now
- NO XC2 news

Things I am excited:
- OCOTOPATH TRAVELER!
- PRAISE THE SUN! (Wait.... Dark Souls amiibo.... could Dark Souls knight be in Smash 5?)
- UNDERTALE!
- SOUTH PARK!
-CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- OCTOLING!... paid content....WHATEVER!
- SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for a compilation video of those LOL.

That's what I was thinking. If it's coming out so soon it must be a port.

IDK though, for some reason Nintendo is keeping it mysterious. You'd think they'd outright say so if it was a port

 

[Burb]

Lack of Bamco is a pretty strong sign that it's not a port. Much better than the Link model, I think.

The release window is a bit suspect, though. For Brawl and Sm4sh, the debut trailer was usually years before launch, not months.

Though this would be a blessing in disguise. I'd rather have a shorter, faster pre-release cycle than the long one from 4. 4's was exciting, but there was just so many periods of dead silence. Assuming it actually meets the 2018 launch and isn't delayed, we should be getting info on a much faster basis.

 

[Arcanir]

Now that we know they're willing to update the character designs such as with Link, I'm curious if any other characters will get that treatment. Personally, I would like to see Samus' design from the Metroid 2 remake put in.

The use of the BOTW model is countered by the fact that the Mario model is pretty clearly the same one from SSB4.

Not to mention the time of the announcement and the release year.

I'm leaning towards it being a port.

Hey, good to see you Burb!

It'll be great to have you here for debates.​

 

[Holder of the Heel]

AHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MAN!! <3

I feel young again!

Was about to be so disappointed about the direct but as soon as the teaser started I knew it in my heart what it was. ALL IS FORGIVEN AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU!

Pretty sure that's Ike next to Samus and Bowser
And I think Shulk is the one next to Bowser Jr. actually

 

[Deleted member]

I really doubt it is going to be a port actually, considering the Inkling.
@theoria
You got some eating to do.....

 

[mario123007]

That's what I was thinking. If it's coming out so soon it must be a port.

IDK though, for some reason Nintendo is keeping it mysterious. You'd think they'd outright say so if it was a port

Um... ok...
Can...............can we just stop discussing it a port or not for now? Can we just get hype for a Smash Bros game on Switch?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

ok..........

ok.........? My job gave me 16 hours this week. Having a switch right now is a little out of budget

But I can save for one, knowing it's gonna get Smash, along with Kirby, and Blastoise in Tekken

 

[Deleted member]

Smash fans right now:

I think we can all agree that was the best direct of 2017 and 2018, easily.
E3 is probably going to show more footage of Smash for Switch.

 

[mario123007]

I understand, not saying it's odd for you to get a Switch now.
And I just hope for the best you can get a Switch soon while sticking with the budget, that's what I did last year...

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

If Smash gets announced, I'll change my avatar to whatever you want.

I choose Shaghan Verde.

 

[Ivander]

*checks out the Smash Speculation thread*

Anyway, my Direct Highlights:
-Kirby Star Allies Update. Rick, Kine, Coo, Marx AND Gooey coming as Allies?! **** YEAH!
-Okami HD. Nice. I have it already, but being able to play on the go is a cool thing. Also, a great title in general that anybody who doesn't have it should get.
-Project Octopath. It's looking very nice. Definitely want to get it at some point.
-Dark Souls. PRAISE THE SUN!
-Crash Bandicoot. Very cool to see. Since I didn't get it on PS4, I can get it on here and play on the go.
-The new Mario Tennis actually looks very nice. This is probably the most polish I've seen in a Tennis game since Power Tennis.
-The new Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2. Very cool. Also, welcome Agent 8. Prepare to be focused on by the "crowd".
-SMASH BROS!

It kind of looks like Diddy is on Donkeys shoulder. Also, I'm betting the spot that says Jiggs is actually Kirby.

****....I've fallen back in.

Um... ok...
Can...............can we just stop discussing it a port or not for now? Can we just get hype for a Smash Bros game on Switch?

But its something worth discussing. Its not like you can't get hype for new content as it is.

 

[Burb]

I hope so because that will be the dealbreaker if they are gone

Wait, you're worried about them being cut?

You really shouldn't be. Animal Crossing is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. I don't think there's any realistic chance of them being cut at all.

It can be hard to predict who stays and who goes (just look at how many characters in SSB4 came back that were thought to be doomed, and look at all the ones that got cut that were considered shocking), but Villager is among the safest SSB4 newcomers.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

So.

Super Smash Bros for Nintendo Switch.

Cool.

Spoiler

 

[redfeatherraven]

That's what I was thinking. If it's coming out so soon it must be a port.

IDK though, for some reason Nintendo is keeping it mysterious. You'd think they'd outright say so if it was a port

Eh, I think they're gonna let the hype simmer.

And the Wii U/3DS scene stare in horror.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Lack of Bamco is a pretty strong sign that it's not a port. Much better than the Link model, I think.

Actually we didn't see signs of Bamco in copyright until Pac-Man.

 

[Coricus]

Hi folks I just got Dragon Quest Builders in the mail and I-

*sees bullet list*'

OK HANG ON I NEED TO CATCH UP ON SOME STUFF

 

[Ivander]

Actually we didn't see signs of Bamco in copyright until Pac-Man.

I thought before Pac-Man was shown and early on that it was said that Namco was helping with the game. I could be wrong, but I could've swore Namco was mentioned to be involved with the game beforehand.

 

[Burb]

Actually we didn't see signs of Bamco in copyright until Pac-Man.

I could've sworn their involvement was known long before then, hence why he was considered such a shoo-in.

Do you specifically mean they were only shown in the copyright of trailers after Pac-Man's confirmation?

EDIT: Just checked it myself. SSB4's debut trailer didn't list Bamco.

 

[AlphaSSB]

Hell yeah! Smash is coming to Switch! Excited to see the Inklings and BOTW Link!

 

[mario123007]

But its something worth discussing. Its not like you can't get hype for new content as it is.

I know, but then again, whether a port or not, we know it's not going to be the same Smash Bros on Wii U/3DS.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I could've sworn their involvement was known long before then, hence why he was considered such a shoo-in.

Do you specifically mean they were only shown in the copyright of trailers after Pac-Man's confirmation?

Yeah.

Even though Bamco was working on the game, we didn't get copyright til Pac-Man.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I could've sworn their involvement was known long before then, hence why he was considered such a shoo-in.

Do you specifically mean they were only shown in the copyright of trailers after Pac-Man's confirmation?

Ha, a shoo-in. Tell that to the speculators years ago

About how Pac-Man was "irrelevant in this day and age"

I know guys, lets get that super relevant Klonoa character!

 

[Burb]

Yeah.

Even though Bamco was working on the game, we didn't get copyright til Pac-Man.

Yup, just checked it myself (the debut/Villager/Mega Man trailer).

You're right, it doesn't say Bamco anywhere, only Nintendo/HAL/GameFreak/Capcom.

Ha, a shoo-in. Tell that to the speculators years ago

About how Pac-Man was "irrelevant in this day and age"

I know guys, lets get that super relevant Klonoa character!

Tell that to speculators years ago?

I was a speculator years ago. Saw Pac-Man coming a mile away.

I'm aware there was people who said Pac-Man had no chance and that we'd get someone like Klonoa or Lloyd Irving over him, but they were a vocal minority.

Most discussions I remember seeing about Pac-Man were presumptuous complaints about the possibility of it being the "Ghostly Adventures" version.

 

[Aetheri]

I just have to say...I don't care if its a port or a new game because its Smash...on the Switch...with new characters...

AND HOLY HELL CAN WE GET CRASH BANDICOOT PLZZ!!!

 

[AreJay25]

Sakurai is working on the game.

While we haven't gotten to the point where we can announce the game's title, I've been working on the title in silence day after day. Please look forward to new information and when the title goes on sale!! https://t.co/TAHWsNbKtg

[Erureido]

Whoa ho ho ho ho, now THAT was one heck of an amazing Direct! My thoughts/live reactions to what was going on:

-One of my favorite video games of all time, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, is getting a remake? That's pretty cool. I might buy this remake, but I can't help but feel bad for Partners in Time getting skipped with the remake.

-Oh hey, WarioWare is getting some love again! Not sure if I'll buy it, but hey, good for the WarioWare fans!

-Luigi's Mansion remake on the 3DS and not the Switch? Surprising.

-Sushi game coming to the Switch, AND it has a story mode? Okay then.

-Mario Tennis Aces is shaping up to be pretty good! I'm impressed with all the new gameplay elements added into it. Seems like Nintendo learned their lessons from the WiiU game. I might actually buy this, but I think I'll try out that Online Tournament first.

-Undertake coming to the Switch! YOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I might finally pick up Undertale for myself if that's the case!

-Captain Toad Treasure Tracker ports for the Switch AND the 3DS? Well then...

-Splatoon 2 Ver. 3.0 looks okay. Just some new clothes and new features... WAIT A MINUTE, playable Octolings? New single player campaign? Best girl Callie finally shows up on her own and not as a boss? Okay, I might actually pick up Splatoon 2 again!

-Ending it with a big announcement... okay, Fire Emblem Switch here we go... wait, why are the Inklings there again. Are they showing off more Splatoon DLC? Come on, what a boring way to end the... hold up, THAT'S THE SMASH BROS LOGO! OMG! SMASH BROS SWITCH IS OFFICIALLY A THING! I can't believe this is happening! This means the Inklings will be added too! Oh look, BotW Link will also show up complete with no hat! It's coming out in 2018? Hype!!!!

Looks like these next few months will be quite a ride. That said, it's time for me to do something I haven't done since 2015...

PROFESSOR LAYTON FOR SMASH! Make it happen, Sakurai!
