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

Prime 4 will probably get more details at E3, we'll probably get more character reveals for Smash (we got two the last time we had a Smash with Palutena and Pac Man both being revealed), and I could see them finally revealing something as big as Animal Crossing Switch.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Also, just one thing about the Direct.

Thanks to South Park, someone at Nintendo had to say butthole on a presentation.

That is all.

 

[Z25]

Considering we already have a Smash reveal; what is the thing you expect as the biggest bomb of Nintendo for the E3?

my guess is smash takes biggest focus and the online. I’m betting smash will launch with the switch online because that’s how money works. We will probably see the new virtual console, and fire emblem unless they got delayed. If that’s the case then animal crossing will probably take center stage. I see a trailer and full reveal for prime 4 but it won’t be on the show floor or anything like that. It will most likely launch 2019 imo.

 

[Mythra]

Them remembering Fire Emblem Switch exists :^)

>I legit forgot about that game.


Bloody Ninty threw us a nuke yesterday and they still have more ready; Pokémon, Metroid, FE... and of course:

For Reggie to whip out his **** and go "STILL NO MOTHER 3"

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Also, funny how differently Nintendo treats its two latest IPs

ARMS
- Online Tournament which... okay. Neat, I guess.

Splatoon
- WE'RE GIVING YOU GUYS EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND MORE! NOW GIVE US MONEY!

Wouldn't be surprised to get a Poke Direct before E3. Still think we're getting Pokes for the major holiday game, but we'll see.

Hopefully whatever Retro is doing.

To be fair Arms didn't catch on fire as much as Splatoon did. It's shocking they're even giving it tournaments still.

That's one of the few reasons I'm still not sure if we'll get an Arms rep in Smash.

 

[Chrono.]

It's apparently "story driven game in a non linear world" or something like that.

It was in one of their employee's Linkedin which got updated recently (this or last week recently).

Inb4 Spring Man Smash trailer gets released during the Testpunch.

I really hope the Splatoon 2 DLC is worth it though.

I mean, it's the same price as both of BotW's DLC packs and honestly, as soon as I was done with each, I just... didn't really care that much. Except maybe for that boss battle. That one thing is just ****ing awesome, but not worth 30+ Canadian dollars.

But this Octo Expansion is a single pack.

To be fair Arms didn't catch on fire as much as Splatoon did. It's shocking they're even giving it tournaments still.

Releasing Splatoon 2 at the same time period is probably what killed it, tbh.

That and trying to copy it's way of giving us content since ARMS was extremely barebones at launch and still doesn't really feel like a full game yet (Sound Test when?)

But it's close. It's damn close to feeling like it's complete.

That's one of the few reasons I'm still not sure if we'll get an Arms rep in Smash.

I don't see it as a reason. If anything, it could work as advertisement.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I mean it's probably gonna help Bayo 3 for sure that Bayonetta was in Smash. So you have a point.

I think the wording was non-linear storytelling.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Just beat Specter of Torment.

Gameplay-wise I almost liked it more than the main game. Was hoping my favorite knight would get a compelling backstory, too, and the campaign did not disappoint in that area, either.

Plague of Shadows is next up for me.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Not to mention Smash is basically the reason why Fire Emblem stopped being Japan-only.

Not the reason why it's so big (that goes to Awakening), but if Smash hadn't caused the franchise to reach overseas in the first place...

 

[JamesDNaux]

Man, you know it's speculation season when you've already had a debate with someone over a character's potential inclusion.

It's good to be back.

You know that even though ARMS didn't hit Splatoon level, it was still super successful for a new Nintendo IP, right?

 

[Ryu_Ken]

I watched the teaser trailer, and suddenly, I'm back on Smashboards.
Hello, all. It's been a while since I've last posted in here. Here's to hoping 2018 is the year where all of our gaming wishes and dreams come true.
Now, the one thing I really, REALLY want from this next Smash game:

ADVENTURE MODE

I don't care which characters get revealed as long as I get to play as them in a beat-em-up-styled-story-driven-epic journey through bizarre worlds and enemies. A new title means a new chance for the man at the Smash workshop to redeem himself. I BELIEVE IN YOU, MASAHIRO SAKURAI.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I need to get me some wanted newcomers in my avatar, but have no idea where to go for a thing like that around these parts anymore.

*Ehem*





You know that even though ARMS didn't hit Splatoon level, it was still super successful for a new Nintendo IP, right?

Yes. To both of those things. They'll probably get a fighter just because there's been so few new IPs since last Smash.

Can't believe I forgot the Mii Fighters though.

I mean I kinda hope they get the cut to be fair.

They're not a major ficture on the Switch after all and they seem to be something that's very time consuming to do. So they'd be the easiest loss, even if I did enjoy playing around with them.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Sushi Striker theme song is actually really good.

I think they're same devs from Elite Beat Agents so makes sense they'd have some catchy tunes.

If that's the case anyway.

I haven't seen iNiS mentioned anywhere when it comes to Sushi Striker. Nintendo's website lists themselves as the developer and Wikipedia doesn't list it as one of iNiS's games.

Inb4 Spring Man Smash trailer gets released during the Testpunch.

if spring man gets in I hope his trailer is like inklings and his winning a fight in arena when he turns and sees the flaming smash ball. Then a shadow steps forward of Ryu as they both go in for the punches and it ends.

I think that's a good way to announce characters without showing actual gameplay.

I feel they're saving the in-game footage for the E3

 

[allison]

You will get a Wikipedia link. To share.

I better not get fried for this LOL.

I logged in, saw a message notification, and worried I got an infraction. Fortunately, it was instead a picture of a worm that looks like a penis, which is basically like second Christmas

Then I'm an idiot as usual and prolly just imagined it.

The good news: I already have plans for a video about the Smash Switch reveal.

That moment when you want to strike while the iron is hot and finish a Smash Switch video...and then you wake up the next morning and you're sick.

The bad news: It's gonna take a while. Damn head colds...

Wouldn't be surprised to get a Poke Direct before E3. Still think we're getting Pokes for the major holiday game, but we'll see.

Yeah, considering TPC always holds major announcements on their own, I think a Pokémon Direct is fairly likely. My theory is still that we'll get some kind of Switch game this year, but it'll be the last of Gen 7, not the start of Gen 8.

I could also see a Fire Emblem Direct being possible, if they want to get it out of the way before E3 so people have more than 3-4 months' heads up on it. Or even a Smash Direct...

 

[mario123007]

Creative Liberties can be taken to account for a Smash moveset...

ie. Cloud does not manually charge Limit in FFVII...

We'll see though...assuming he does get into the game that is...

Nah, Rex is pretty much a guarantee imo.
I also like Sakurai review on Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you see developers don't care about graphics that much, and he praise the game's overall structure. And considers a considerable achievement. Sakurai just review games like pro.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Dude. I never thought about how brilliant Ryu being revealed alongside an Arms rep would be.

Yes. Yes. Do that. Do it now.

 

[Chrono.]

At least I'm not the only one who automatically assumes they got an infraction when seeing the inbox notif.

I'm antisocial enough here so I'm surprised when it isn't.

Exactly; I hope that helps people to appreciate the even the smallest things in life.

Duck Hunt trailer: "Yo sup we're here. Wanna join Smash Bros."
Inking trailer: "YOU ARE WITH US NOW. THERE IS NO ESCAPE. HAIL SAKURAI"

 

[Fenriraga]

I really have to wonder if the tone of Smash's teaser was more for the wow factor, or if it maybe is a sign of things to come.

Obviously the game isn't going to be "dark", but it is a really bizzare way to go about things. Maybe all these guys are sick of being used as literal trophies and are starting a rebellion.

Or something silly like that.

Perhaps the game's new story mode is going to be dark, and I'm fine with that.

And Mythra , I notice a tweet of a fan color Mythra artwork from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 art book.
I personally haven't check the art book because spoilers, obviously.

And I have to say this again....
I really really want a Xenoblade 2 anime...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

A lot of Youtube pokemon "Theorists" seem to think the new pokemon game is going to be a gen 1 remake/ reboot. I don't know if that was debunked but apparently there is a "Credible Chinese Leak".

If that's true, I wonder if some characters and stuff from "Pokemon: I choose You" is a sneak peak into it. After All, Ash's companions are usually the main female in the current gen games.
