NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[Champ Gold]

Instead of complaining, let's get hype over Project X Zone 2

Hopefully we get some new characters as well.

Plus amiibo compatibility with &

The thing is, getting new consoles nowadays requires very significant convincing out of me. The only reason why I bought a Wii U was because Mega Man showed up as a character in Smash 3DS & Wii U. While there are some great titles on the Wii U, none of them necessitates me experiencing them to be satisfied with gaming. Getting a console means having a game that I absolutely must have and Smash Wii U with Mega Man was that game for the Wii U. It is also why I want a PS4 now because The Last Guardian is a game I feel I simply must experience. Shenmue III, The Witcher III, and the Final Fantasy VII remake (assuming they keep the traditional RPG play style) I also want but they aren't "essential" titles for me.

I won't have that for the NX. I'm sure there will be some great titles on it as well but like I said before, I need games that I absolutely must have before I purchase a console. But there's not going to be anything like that. I don't need another Smash now that Mega Man is in so Smash is out. F-Zero would be great but aside from me doubt we'll ever get one again, the only one I feel I need is F-Zero GX and I expect that to satisfy me for F-Zero games. Mother 3 is the only title that could do that but I expect a Virtual Console release on the Wii U later on anyway once enough time has spanned from EarthBound Beginnings. Plus it's disheartening to see Nintendo commit PR suicide when they're in a position where they could very well go third-party and/or mobile-only in the next 5-10 years. I didn't expect Sony E3's level, but the turnout of the Digital Event is unacceptable.

I got burnt pretty badly by the PlayStation 3 when Gran Turismo 5 turned out to be a huge disappointment and Gran Turismo 6 walked into micro-transaction territory (which offended me to the point of not buying it). I'm not making that mistake again.I will believe it when I see it.

I still see little reason to buy a PS4, personally. Maybe it'll get there for me eventually, but the only actual PS4 exclusive you mentioned was Last Guardian, and what I have seen out of that game has not impressed me.

Still waiting on the eventual slim, as well.

Now this is just melo-drama at it's finest.

Good lord this can't be real.

Please tell me this is a joke.

 

[Firus]

Jesus, I know E3 wasn't great this year but I've seen some pretty God-awful E3 presentations and this year did not at all match up to that. I was disappointed but it wasn't an absolute embarrassment or anything, just kind of a boring experience, for me anyway.

If Nintendo came back from 2008 they can come back from anything.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Is there a gif of Crusty the clown saying drama queen?

Because if so *insert gif*

And just in case someone doesn't get it 'm referring to the post, not Roger's post

Ehh, I've seen worst on 4chan. Step up your game Roger, trust me it can get worst than this

 

[Spazzy_D]

I'll say this though, I would probably be a lot more apt to buy a PS4 or Xbox One if I didn't already game regularly on my PC. PC is grabbing a lot of "console exclusives" this gen so I end up caring far less for MS or Sony's offerings.

Speaking of.... I actually missed out on the Xbox conference. I've seen a couple videos, but can someone provide me with the cliff notes version? Just let me know what videos are worth looking up, lol.

I'm pretty sure this is an over the top mockery of the ridiculous way people reacted to a perfectly awesome presentation.

Rare Replay.
Cuphead.

That's it.

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware I playing a game of who can find the world's worst post.

Also I'm too smart and intelligent to waste my time on 4Chan.

So who's the real winner here?

Same. This and last gen has had a few Sony exclusives I've been disappointed to miss out on (I have a 360 that seemed like a good idea when I got it, but by the end of the gen I wished I'd gotten a PS3), but PC gets a lot of the titles I would've been missing out on otherwise. Getting multiple consoles can be difficult to do and pretty much anything from Nintendo consoles isn't gonna show up on PC, so that's pretty much my strategy for gaming at the moment: Nintendo console + PC gaming.

Basically some game called Recore made by the Mega Man creator and one of the Metroid Prime development teams, and a collection of 30 Rare games, and some really half-assed backwards compatibility but the Rare collection's pretty much the only video worth looking up, and maybe Recore.

[Tree Gelbman]

It was mediocrity at it's finest. It'd been an awesome regular direct, but as an E3 presentation? Not so much.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Now this is just melo-drama at it's finest.

My advice?

Focus less on what Nintendo's doing and more on moving out of your parents house at 31 years of age.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

As if I wasn't hyped for Mario maker as it is.
What with the possibilities being endless, the book and the amiibos.
This came to my mind again.
My God if this is possible to do I will cry.

Though to be fair to that guy, a lot of older people are living at home with their parents now because of the economical downfall.

Something tells me if he's serious though? He's just your substandard bottom basement dweller however.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I wonder if Disney was at a crisis like Nintendo right now.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I wonder if Disney was at a crisis like Nintendo right now.

Why would they be? They own everyone and everything.

 

[Spazzy_D]

The main thing I want out of this Star Fox that I haven't seen is a decent multiplayer mode.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I know like when Disney was at it's early age.

Yeah but you're on NeoGAF, so who's the real dummy and loser?
Answer:

Spoiler

Both of us

 

[A Distant Demon]

Honestly both the Xbone and PS4 havent given me any big reasons to buy their console.
Kingdom Hearts and Halo and Crackdown exist but everything else ies either on PC or way overhyped :/

I miss the era of ps1 and ps2, xbox and 360, gamecube and Wii when there were multiplats and exclusives all over the place that were good . . . I think Anvil said it best when buying one is like buying half of a whole console the other would fill.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Actually I'm not. I found it on Tumblr. So therefore?

Score!

automatic marios could definitely be possible, but probably not to this scale
although it is worth noting that mario maker doesn't have the super speed blocks that lunar magic does

There isn't one.

Local or online, but it's being considered.

they are doing yokai watch at the treehouse

TUMBLR?!?

Really? That's even worst than both. Might as well say Something Awful

The only reason for me to get a next Gen system is for Batman, Just Cause 3, MKX, Persona 5, South Park and other stuff. I'm close but the pricing of them is what hurts it. Same with the Wii U

Quick and dirty details on SF Zero

http://nintendoeverything.com/more-star-fox-zero-details/

 

[Guybrush20X6]

There's two syndromes of gaming on display at Nintendo's E3.

Metroid Fusion Syndrome: A series gets to the point where the story stops progressing forwards, leading to prequels and intrequels, due to the game's story being awkward to sequel off of and a lack of commitment to a full reboot. Star Fox Zero (due to Command) is one example.
Nuts And Bolts Syndrome: When a game has been a long time waiting in the pipeline, fans will be hostile to spin-offs made in stead of a proper sequel. The Metroid game is the obvious example but Animal Crossing amiibo gathering is another, in stead of AC WiiU.

 

[BluePikmin11]

YES I MUST WATCH! Yall should watch too.

Can anyone tell me how the gameplay works exactly?
Whoops double post.
10,000 people watching Yokai Watch hype!

 

[XLIFE]

Now this is just melo-drama at it's finest.

Damn, I'm legitimately concerned over this man's sanity.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Star Fox Zero......
SF Zero......
F Zero.....
Oh you Crafty *******s

Nuts and Bolts was a spinoff?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Whoops double post.

3 active yokai. spin it to choose who is active. they auto attack. do minigames midbattle to activate special attacks. you can also give them items.

search for yokai to fight them and get exp and befriend them

I feel like you would know that.

Nuts and Bolts was a spinoff?

played like one. and it was a damn good spinoff too. if it didnt have the name banjo slapped on it it probably wouldnt have been hated

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I don't get this Yokai thing.

Like...is it Pokemon for weebs?

Is it that what it is?

Is it Weeabo-mon?

 

[BluePikmin11]

This looks extremely promising, *squeal!!!!*

I don't get this Yokai thing.

Like...is it Pokemon for weebs?

Is it that what it is?

Is it Weeabo-mon?

No it isn't. :<
It's Pokemon like gameplay with Xenoblade-like gameplay. Only it stars 200 Yokai you can catch from.

 

[Khoru]

I don't get this Yokai thing.

i guess you could say that
youkai are... i guess you could say they're like "monsters." they're a principal part of japanese folklore, and they range from simple stuff like kappa and tanuki to spirits that move pillows out from under your head while you sleep. there are a lot of pokemon based on them.
from my understanding, youkai watch makes up its own ones. so... yeah.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Hey, I forgot they were making a new King's Quest game!

...I'm still not sure whether or not I should be excited.

 

[A Distant Demon]

@ BluePikmin11 you heard that right?

the anime is coming over

 

[Chrono.]

New DMC4 stuff.
