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

[Naoshi]

Wait...

The creepy petting things are only for S rank and above?

Dude.

I AM ALL FOR MARRIED COUPLES GETTING INTIMATE WITH EACH OTHER!!!

We all have this idea that marriage is bad. It's refreshing seeing married couples having the fun time. I think more couple need the happy with each other. I feel so much discourse between spouses would be solved it they just well...

Not sure this is the best way to display it but...

I think it's better now.

Yeah that honestly works out way better. The petting stuff is still kinda weird but not as badly as I feared.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Poor localization team. that will be fun dealiong with all of . . .that.
As long as the games good I dont care TBH.

Top 10
1. Kid Icarus Uprising
2. Xenoblade Chronicles
3. Wonderful 101
And then it becomes difficult. . .
4. Fallout 3
5. Halo ODST
6. Metroid Prime 3* (and I havent even finished it)
7. Super Metroid
8. Smash Bros
9. Bravely Default*
10. Donkey Kong Country

*have not finished. In bravely default's case this could be very very bad.


if "petting" is S rank only I dont see the big deal tbh.
EDIT from the looks of things this isnt true., Its just different lines. RIP

with all of these FE clones why cant there be a sully clone

 

[vaanrose]

Multiple timelines could be way worse.

Luckily Zelda hasn't reached horror franchise status, but it's close..

Look at the Halloween franchise for example.

That's a time line nightmare.

Jamie Lee Timeline: Halloween, Halloween 2, Halloween: H20, Halloween: Resurrection

The ''Original" Timeline before she came back: Halloween, Halloween 2, Halloween 4, Halloween 5, Halloween 6.

The fan time lne: All the films prior to the remakes.

Reboot Timeline: Rob Zombie's Halloween, Rob Zombie's H2.

Then there's just Halloween 3, sitting all alone when it was going to become anthology series.

And to **** it over even more? The next film might for go all timelines and be a soft reboot that follows the original two Halloweens and creates another fricking timeline.

I think it's pretty clear Anouma tried to make a consistent timeline. Even the split into two timelines made sense, from an in-universe story point of view and only served to deepen the mythology. Then Miyamoto stepped in and messed everything up.

I have a deep respect for Miyamoto, because no one else is as good at making a game that is as much raw fun as he is. But he needs to take a step back and let the story minded people develop the plot.

 

[Deleted member]

Gebus these amiibo look great.

I just want Isabelle, but thats not going to happen >_>

Unless there's going to be a Resetti amiibo, I don't care about this whatsoever.

 

[Substitution]

Thinking about it, I find the whole thing hilarious.
Characters get hot and bothered for what is really you poking their face. It's just cheesy enough to get a laugh.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Yeah that honestly works out way better. The petting stuff is still kinda weird but not as badly as I feared.

Welp.

That's one moral dilemma done with for me.

Now the icky incest.

Oh don't worry, Fire Emblem has had a history of that.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I am aware.

But it's never been this blunt since FE4.

so wait, is the petting for all ranks is what you're saying?

if so, conflicting reports @o@

Well thing I find most annoying about the current timeline is that it says Oracle Link is a A Link to the Past Link. Really annoying when in the Oracle game when Zelda meets him she acts like they never met. And ALTTP Link is someone she really shouldn't have forgotten since he saved her live multiple times, and on that is one of the last of Hylian Knight's bloodline and worthy of wielding the Master Sword, not someone you should really forget is it?

Also there was a brilliant Fan theory that connect the first 3 games to the Adult Timeline, simply by saying that the plan of the Great Deku Tree of reuniting the islands o the Great Sea, had worked.

Spoiler

When you reach S rank with someone, their lines during 'skinship' change

it says change. not exist. So it seems like things get more lewd at S but exist before then. I still say it isnt that bad though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Substitution]

I am aware.

But it's never been this blunt since FE4.

Still, it's not like it hasn't been around. Blunt or not.
Now do I think that it's a good idea? No. But it's not like this is completely out of the blue.

I very much dislike the Oracles games going between Alttp and LA, even if that was Capcom's intent (which I'm not convinced it was).

Personally my greatest displeasure is that Twilight Princess doesn't lead into Alttp. TP introduces concepts that were present in Alttp but absent from OoT, (the Master Sword in the Lost Woods, the heroic bloodline) and served as a nice bridge between the two entries. Add FSA between TP and Alttp and everything lines up pretty much perfectly.

 

[Champ Gold]

Favorite 10 games are too easy for me but it'll depend on the moment

1.Bayonetta
2.Sonic 3 & Knuckles
3.Megaman Battle Network 3
4.Punch Out Wii
5.Ultra Street Fighter 4
6.F-Zero X
7.Smash 4 (Melee is the best tho, but SSB4 is my favorite)
8.Persona 4 Golden
9.Fire Emblem Awakening
10.Mortal Komnat X (what I've played with my brother)

 

[Ivander]

Spoiler

So...

Wasn't it said that Kamui isn't the real sibling to either side?

Please. Incest is yucky.

Spoiler: Fates Spoilers

I've been finding different reports of it. One stated that Sakura mentions that Kamui's father was a different man and that Mikoto and you were taken by the man, your Step-father, that was killed by Garon. Another stated that both your parents were different people and that when they died, Mikoto cared for you.

so wait, is the petting for all ranks is what you're saying?

if so, conflicting reports @o@

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure petting is for all ranks. However, apparently at S-rank, the quotes "change" to go with the fact that you and the character are a couple now.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Shameless fanservice where it "doesn't belong"? Count me in.

After seeing a new FE game for the 3DS again, I was uninterested. As Awakening was my first game in the franchise, I was hoping for a console game with a fresher experience. But I'll probably get the game anyway at this rate, People complain about almost anything in games nowadays, this is no different.

This is pretty much my entire opinion on the matter.

Random question.Do you guys feel that the smash 4 DLC characters will be high or low priority when smash 5 or Smash NX comes around

 

[Johnknight1]

So you can finally have incest and gay marriage in Fire Emblem.

What a time to be alive.

Now all we need is magic in the Fire Emblem universe for gay marriage to allow us to make these gay couples have babies, and I can legit ship all the Husbandos (since 2015 is the Year of the Husbando) like not Owain and *insert other not character here*.

@TheAnvil knows. He's the biggest balloon fight fan I know, lol.

I have lasted over 10 minutes in Balloon Trip... twice. #Fact

 

[Substitution]

So same-sex marriage in a thing is Fates.
Eh, I guess it's neat.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Random question.Do you guys feel that the smash 4 DLC characters will be high or low priority when smash 5 or Smash NX comes around

Hmm. That is an excellent question.

Ryu would probably get high priority considering his third party status.

When it comes to the others it's hard to tell because they were all cut from the base game once or twice.

 

[Thelimomon]

Random question.Do you guys feel that the smash 4 DLC characters will be high or low priority when smash 5 or Smash NX comes around

It will probably depend on the character, but I'd say that the most will have a rather low priority.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Rie Sonomura said you were spoiling stuff about Elma in X too, is that true?
Just wondering.

under a spoiler tag, yes
if those don't load properly, it isn't my fault

Rie was just lamenting on X spoilers in general. That specific plot detail had been spoiled for her multiple times by now.

Gebus these amiibo look great.

I just want Isabelle, but thats not going to happen >_>

KK Slider will be mine!

 

[Johnknight1]

I'm not kidding about that magic thing. I wanna have children units be OP as heck, but obviously gay units can do that. Maybe adoption could fill in that role?

I just wanna pair the best husbandos together, all while keeping children units. Is that too much to ask=???

I NEED TO BE LIKE @Croph and become a true shipping Lord!

 

[BluePikmin11]

Wait same-sex marriage.
That's pretty neat for those who wanted it to happen, it's a weird direction, but I'll take it.

[epicmartin7]

Well, I guess I'll get on the favorite train. These choices are kind of hard since my gaming experience is limited and there are alot of games which I consider #1. Also nostalgia gets in the way XD:
1. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007:
Back when I was a kid, I used to be a HUGE wrestling fan. Enough to where I picked up their games. This was the first one I had and was the most nostalgic to me. So it's number 1 for nostalgic purposes.

2. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage:
Now this game is what mainly got me hooked into Video Games. Going through the portals made you feel emersed in the world and unlocking more worlds gave you a sense of accomplish. My mom and I actually fought over the game several times XD.

3. Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped:
Good ol' Crash. The same reason Spyro captivated me also got me emersed into Crash. The collectibles in the game were fun to collect and riding on the tiger through a japanese setting was fun as heck. I'm not going to lie, I always thought Crash's nipples and bellybutton were his face when I was little XD. A little embarrassing, I know XD.

4. Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii:
Now this may seem unfamiliar as its not an official Nintendo title. Its a mod of NSMBW made by the Newer Team. I actually followed the project when it was in development on their forums as it looked promising. The game was so good, I feel like it has surpassed the rank Super Mario Bros. 3 had on my list. It consists of 128 levels with a returning power-up, new enemies, bosses, worlds and etc. It is massive in scale and overhauls the NSMBW engine. The filesystem for the game is even different. It's impressive what these people did.

5. Super Mario Bros. 3:
Now this is the first Mario game I've ever played, so it is still dearly close to my heart. I originally played it on my Aunt's Wii and I feel in love with it. Afterward, I found the GBA port and played that all the time on my DS. It was also the first game I completed 100%.

6. Super Mario 64 DS:
This is actually the first 3D Mario game I've ever played. I spent a plenty amount of time exploring the world and playing a large amount of the multiplayer mode was fun.

7. Super Smash Bros. 4 and Project M
This may be cheating a little since its two games. But I feel they come so close that they are at the same rank. Project M 3.0 was one of the reasons I started following Smash and getting into the series. I also put an extensive amount of hours into the game. It was mostly because of the Smash 4 Hype at the time, but I still play it very often. Now for Smash 4, everything about the game I feel is hype. The Music, characters, stages all have excitement to them.

That's pretty much it. I got alot of games I like, but I'm too lazy to write about 3 more . Its just my opinions XD.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Wait same-sex marriage.
That's pretty neat for those who wanted it to happen, it's a weird direction, but I'll take it.

Not sure why it's a weird direction, I mean it reflects the change in the real world.

And is pretty boss of Nintendo to think of guys like me (or gals like....uh...somebody) who want to marry a mister/sister.

Helps you identify with the character more in a big way trust me.

An excellent example was MTV did this ''Choose Your Murder" thing just recently for their Scream TV series premiering next week.

I ended up immediately put off or disconnected a little bit because it starts with the dude your controlling sexing it up with his girlfriend (which admittedly is a classic horror trope), but still, you do kind of disconnect a bit (not enough to not enjoy it), when the thing you're playing doesn't reflect you so much.

Revealing my horror fan today.

 

[Johnknight1]

I find it both odd and disturbing gay marriage and marriage between siblings/incest was confirmed on the same day.

From a gameplay/character hoarding perspective I really hope this doesn't limit the series in regards to how many children characters can have. I do hope instead of say birth children gay couples (or even some asexual people) adopt children (that inherit some of their stats) in lieu of that.

Why wait? I want my Gunther X Gastion dammit!
(And maybe throw in Garon for a glorious threesome.)

Well we got bisexuality and pansexuality confirmed, so polygamy/polygamous relationships and asexuality are the next step forward for Fire Emblem. That would actually be really interesting to see going forward. Diversifying the cast and keeping it real is always a good way to go.

I just hope I can keep having tons of children units for my children army (I want as large an army/roster of characters as possible), I am happy. #PleaseAdoptChildren

Edit: For the record, Nintendo of Japan hasn't ever really been opposed to this, and Nintendo of America is really open to this. Nintendo of America has several top staffers who are openly gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, etc. That's pretty freaking great they're so accepting of that and don't cast out people of sexual minorities out like that. In fact, it's really classy.

[JamesDNaux]

Top ten favorite games? It's tough to really get into it, is a top six fine?

1. Banjo-Tooie
2. Rayman 2: The Great Escape
3. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
4. Xenoblade Chronicles
5. EarthBound (Mother 2)
6. Pikmin 3

These games were more than just games for me, they were experiences.
[collapse=]

Banjo-Tooie still stands as my favorite game of all time, it really felt like a cohesive world that just one-upped the already fantastic experience of the first game. It also happens to be of my favorite genre, or maybe the genre is my favorite because of the game..

Rayman 2 is really, really close to Banjo-Tooie for me, it's hard to give it a second place spot but Banjo is no longer with us so he gets to keep the spot. I love the other Rayman games as well, but none of them hit quite the same mark as the second.

Majora's Mask is the only game I've played where I actually cared about a large portion of the NPCs. The game has a feeling that no other game can match, and though most will say OoT is better, it doesn't match up to the pure feeling I get from MM.

I'm still not finished with Xenoblade, but it's already my favorite RPG ever (sorry Ness). This game is an absolute masterpiece and I cannot stress enough how brilliant every single aspect of it is.

EarthBound was my favorite RPG until Xenoblade came into my life, but Ness' adventure is still a wonderful ride that's quite different from Shulk's. This game is quirky, it's crude, and it'll reach right into your heart and have you crying until the end.

Pikmin 3 is an experience not quite like any other game I've played, the unique mechanics and charm really mix to something that's more than just a game. Though I've only played the third game, I still like Olimar more than Alph as a character.

I don't mind gay marriage it's just weird that more games are adjusting to this right now, I'll probably get used to it eventually.
