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

[Naoshi]

I seriously cannot wait for Mario Maker. Is there a page or wiki or something detailing literally everything we know about it yet?

 

[Burb]

Which is stupid, because the only way they could justify Young Link is too have him be based on Majora's Mask anyway, so why add Ocarina of Time Link gear?

HA. It is. It matches the wind perfectly. Wow.

I'm guessing they figured Sakurai would want to keep him true to his Melee look.

Even though every other former cut veteran has been given a makeover thus far.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

Characters:

• Rayman
• Snake
• Banjo-Kazooie
• Wolf

Stages:

• Rayman stage
• Metal Gear Solid stage
• Banjo-Kazooie stage

 

[AreJay25]

Mario Maker looks fantastic.

Nintendo must think so too since they spent 10 minutes talking about it in the Direct.

 

[Kenith]

I don't play and care for Fire Emblem but that last one looks very wrong to me kind of Yuri in my opinion.

That's a guy and a girl.

Yeah, I'm really let down by the stage builder. I was let down in Brawl, and just when I thought they had fixed the issues in Sm4sh, they botched it by removing a bunch of the creative pieces. Sigh.

That's what I'd like to see, tbh. Some Stage Builder DLC to give it more options. I'm sure it won't happen, Sakurai has in no way expressed that what resulted wasn't his choice, but I'd like to see it anyway.

Stage Builder DLC would be more hype for me than most characters honestly.
More tools (like erase part of a landmass/platform rather than all at once), setpieces like the tree and the totem pole, obstacles (conveyor belt, spikes, lava that actually KO's at 100+%, ladders, ICE), more backgrounds.
That would make it so much better.

I like Mario Maker, but I get the impression that Super Mario Bros. X will still be a better editing program due to how much you can customize. IDK.

I'm still buying Mario Maker anyway

 

[Burb]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

Characters:
1) Wolf
2) King K. Rool
3) Banjo-Kazooie
4) Squirtle

Stages:
1) Spiral Mountain (B-K)
2) Saffron City 64
3) Sector Z 64

 

[Kenith]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

For characters:
- Midna & Wolf Link / Ghirahim (I would be equally satisfied with either)
- Inkling
- Excite Bike
- Sami

For stages:
-Pirate Ship
-Paper Mario stage
-A Splatoon stage to go with Inkling
-Shadow Moses Island ()

 

[Naoshi]

Hmmm, my only concern with Super Mario Maker is the seemingly lack of slopes. Every game but SMB1 had that. Kinda weird, huh?

 

[Dravidian]

This seemed to be a pretty good week: shenmue III, new Tales game, more info on the new Star ocean, SFV looks great, job interview......then I realized that I may have messed up a programming answer where I thought I changed a part of my code to "count -= 1" for flexibility, but may have written "count -= count".

I originally had "count=count-1" anddecided to use something slightly faster, but......[sigh]


Well this week is still pretty good. Shenmue III guaranteed at least that much.

 

[TheAnvil]

@CroonerMike

I'd choose: Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro The Dragon (he's recently become a top want of mine, at least 3rd Party wise), Wolf & Dixie Kong.

Stages: Spiral Mountain, Spyro Stage (Not sure what I'd choose but there's a lot to borrow from) and Gangplank Galleon.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

I presume we don't regard the two N64 stages we know of.
So:

Characters:
Ice Climbers
Wolf
K Rool
Isaac

Stages:
Pirate Ship (Shared on both systems)
Summit
Saffron city 64

 

[mark welford]

That's a guy and a girl.

Ah, well I can't tell the person on the right just look female to me.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

Super Mario Maker?

The game really looks amazing. I can't wait to try out all the level creation features and make some fun, challenging levels.

 

[PushDustIn]

Total choice?

1. Inkling
2. 9-Volt
3. Chibi Robo
4. Andy

Stages:
1. Clock Town
2. Battle (Advance Wars battle with random troops attacking from each side at random)
3. Waverace

 

[AreJay25]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

1) Rayman
2) Wolf
3) Dixie/K. Rool (don't make me pick)
4) Bandanna Waddle Dee

1) Stage for Rayman (Almost anything really)
2) Saffron City
3) Pirate Ship

 

[mark welford]

That's a guy and a girl.

Ah, well I can't tell the person on the left has a feminine face what is with girly looking boys? And it seriously looked Yuri to me.

 

[vaanrose]

Hmmm, my only concern with Super Mario Maker is the seemingly lack of slopes. Every game but SMB1 had that. Kinda weird, huh?

What I don't understand is how they decided what gets retrofitted to different styles and what doesn't. It looks like all enemies will be available in all four game styles, and SMW has been shown with SMB3's Airship theme, so it seems like themes will be in all four styles, too.

But then they've decided powerups won't be in games they weren't originally, and neither will Yoshi. Plus the Amiibo Mushroom only works in SMB1 style. Seems like a waste of potential.

 

[Soul.]

Bring back the Pokémon Stadium stage because why not.
Smashville on 3DS too because it's based on Animal Crossing: Wild World, a DS game.
Might as well bring back.... umm...

 

[IceBreakerXY]

=

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

1)shantae
2)bandanna dee
3)pichu
4)wolf or slippy

stages
1)fourside
2)pirate ship
3)saffron city

 

[AreJay25]

Here's a theory.

Do you think Sakurai could pull another Robin and just announce a trailer reveal out of the blue?

To be fair, making 90+ costumes in multiple styles is going to be way too time consuming. So I understand why they made it exclusive to one mode.

Of course they could just use the same 8bit sprite across the styles but that may or may not create hitbox/collision issues. I can be wrong on that though.

If there's no Nintendo Direct around that time, then yes.

 

[Spazzy_D]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

Wolf
K. Rool
Isaac
Bomberman

Snake returning or Simon Belmont would also work for that fourth spot. Wouldn't mind Rayman there, either. If Dixie took K. Rool's spot I would probably be okay with that as well, but the King gets the nod.

Based on the characters, stage would be -

Venus Lighthouse
Gangplank Galleon
Planet Bomber (Castle Dracula or Shadow Moses depending, right?)

If we're not doing third party, I'd probably want Classic Ganon or another Zelda character to take the last spot.

If it is Ganon, I always thought that the Pyramid of Power from a Link to the Past would be an AMAZING stage.

BONUS - If the 3 stages were returning stages: Fourside, Pirate Ship, Peach's Castle

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

I'd choose

Wolf (He was my favourite of the three)
Dixie Kong
Tetra
Shantae

Scuttle Town (Both versions, GBC styled on 3DS and HD on WiiU)
Pirate Ship (WiiU)
Saffron City (3DS)

 

[Naoshi]

I just want my Yoshi riding Yoshi level.

The true tragedy of this

 

[Dravidian]

I'm disappointed that Devils Third hasnt shown up on stream yet.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

1. Wolf
2. King K Rool
3. Pious
4.Sami

1. The City of Ehn'gha (Eternal Darkness)
2. Advance Wars Stage
3. New Pork City (Brawl)

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

4 Characters and 3 Stages, huh?

Characters:
1. Chorus Kids
2. Rayman
3. Snake
4. Wolf

Stages:
1. Rayman Stage
2. Shadow Moses Island
3. Hanenbow

I think this list would cause a lot of hype overall, and would generally complete the roster. I made this list based on what I perceive as likely, a list based on my wants alone would go like:

Characters:
1. Phoenix Wright
2. Chorus Kids
3. Snake
4. Ray MK II

Stages:
1. New Pork City
2. Hanenbow
3. Custom Robo Arena

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

1.) Rayman
2.) Shantae
3.) Inkling
4.) King K.Rool

1.) Glade of Dreams (Rayman)
2.) Scuttle Town (Shantae)
3.) Mario Maker

 

[Chrono.]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

Characters

• Wolf
• Dixie
• Tails
• Bass.exe

 

[SlickWylde]

I want
Isaac
Ridley
Bandana Dee
Who'd want Dixie, she's just a Diddy clone...


(Twas a joke)

(Also nothing wrong with any of the 3 characters I mentioned, but they're not on my support list haha)

except for some reason goomba's shoe is in smb1 style
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spoiler

this isn't me pointing out a flaw in your logic, the decision in the game makes no sense

 

[Jdaster64]

Welp, this won't be at all a popular set of picks, but I'm both a fan of Paper Mario and a holder of the opinion that Pokémon is criminally underrepped this time around...

- Paper Mario
- Squirtle
- Ivysaur
- One of Pichu / Emolga / Pachirisu / Plusle-Minun (on that note, new avatar!)

- PM:TTYD Theatre
- Fourside
- Pirate Ship

Realistically, though, I'd at least like to see one of the missing Pokémon vets back.

 

[Soul.]

lol, E3 2015 is over and they announced the day E3 2016 starts.
June 14-16th.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/18/e3-2015-e3-2016-date-announced

 

[Das Koopa]

-Paper Mario
-Giygas
-King K. Rool
-Frogger

-Glitz Pit
-Gangplank Galleon
-Firefly Swamp

Mmmm the music selection on these stages would be wonderful.

 

[Spazzy_D]

This "only four more characters" exercise made me realize how happy I am with the current roster. If we get Wolf back and a DK rep I would be completely happy. Don't get me wrong, I would love more..... really any and all vets are welcome, and I'm sure any newcomers we get would be awesome. It's just that the roster is already beyond amazing.

(Still, give me Isaac. And a Konami rep.)

 

[Dravidian]

So if we were only able to get 4 more characters and 3 more stages which would you all choose?

I'm assuming who mean who we want, not who we expect so...

• Bayonetta
• Wonder Red
• Aeron (Pandoras Tower)
• RAY (Custom Robo)

For stages my choices are:

• Pirate Ship
• Green Greens
• A stage for The Wonderful 101

Let's hope next year is a better showing for everyone.

I realized it wasn't even just Nintendo that was kind of disappointing. The most exciting thing Microsoft was a game collection, Sony's was all about a remake, and Nintendo just had spin-offs, and the South Park sequel was the only thing another company announced that made me personally excited.

Over all the hype level this year only shot up because of the Final Fantasy 7 remake though.
