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

[Sonicthesneak]

His chances have clearly doubled.

Unfortunately, 0 x 2 is still 0.

That Zing! ... I approve of.

If Nintendo and Disney became friends without Disney buying Nintendo? That would be the best of both worlds for each company.

Nintendo can put Mickey Mouse, the most iconic cartoon character of all time into Smash. They can get first look rights to publish Mickey games or games based on the latest Disney/Pixar movies.

They get access to great franchises like Marvel, Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.

And Disney gets the same benefits. They can make cartoons of the Nintendo characters. Put Nintendo ''extras" into their video games.

This is actually a very exciting prospect and would be the ultimate third party support Nintendo could have really.

Tharja's got nothing on this.

I come in to this thread at 2am in the morning and find this.

 

[CroonerMike]

What's the title about? crooner mike being "that guy"?

I'm a terrible person. lol

 

[BluePikmin11]

Tharja's got nothing on this.

Why IS. Why those camera angles.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Why IS. Why those camera angles.

The camera angles, plus the fact she goes immediately to the most stereotypical Playboy Bunny pose of finger to the mouth while you toss your hair.

It's kind of funny that all of Hollywood's and media's sexualitization of women goes there, because a couple of my female friends who are in classes for acting and modelling and such have been told ''Don't do that. No one finds that sexy. They find that cheesy. They just don't want to admit it to themselves."

fire emblem fates is turning out to be so bad it's good

I guess there was another rumor left out of the Go Nintendo article. According to Nintendo Life, instead of Android being ran natively on NX, its going to be based on emulation.

That leads us to the NX portion of the rumour. Those negotiations with Amazon have supposedly involved the retailer testing the waters on its apps being available on Nintendo hardware. Now, Nintendo already dismissed the rumours that the NX would be Android-based, yet this apparently revolves around a supposed intention to emulate Android on NX. In theory that would therefore allow Nintendo to retain control, while also opening the door to Android apps and content within the NX offering.

If this is true, that means you could potentially be able to root the android part of the console. That means you'll be able too run Dolphin on an official Nintendo console.

Long live Melee .

 

[AreJay25]

Fire Emblem Fates is just asking for a Rifftrax at this point lol.

 

[PushDustIn]

Sakurai's main in Melee is...Captain Falcon! Here he talks about a Melee tournament with the other Famitsu writers/ editors.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I wonder how big a cut the third parties get from sales of amiibos of their characters. Must be a pretty penny for them to OK compatibility with 1st party Nintendo titles.

Tharja's got nothing on this.

um....
wow.

 

[epicmartin7]

I know I just reported on something news related, but I found something pretty cool.

I guess Sakurai is making two separate books about playing and developing games. Some person on twitter did a translation of it.

@Sora_Sakurai 2 Books that @Sora_Sakurai wrote. one about what he thinks about playing games and one about making games.

It might be something I'm interested in if it's ever translated to English.

 

[BluePikmin11]

If it's a Sakurai book, I'm going to buy it (if it's going to be released in English of course.)

Spoiler: Fire Emblem Fates SPOILERS

So basically, in order for some characters, in order to get them, you have to do special conditions during the battle. Otherwise they get a gruesome death.
*Gunter dies from falling off a bridge.
*Kaze dies protecting Kamui
*Flora(the Blue-haired Maid) commits suicide on a pyre.
*Not sure how she dies, but for some people, Camilla has died for them in the Hoshido Path.
*And apparently in the Nohr Path, it's possible for Sakura to die by getting ripped to shreds by a bunch of monsters.
Geez, last time I checked, deaths weren't this gruesome besides in Fire Emblem 4 and even then, the only real gruesome death was Sigurd's death. Meanwhile, you have a whole variety of gruesome deaths in Fates. Not to mention IIRC, Garon makes Elise witness a person being executed by him.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

The more I read about Fates, the more I wonder if they're punking us.

They can't seriously be following up the game that saved the franchise with this.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

I still think people are overreacting about this.With the way nintendo has been pushing this it's gonna sell rather it does as good as awakening is all that matters

Yeah, I've been waiting for those books to be released >.<. They were leaked by Amazon in April!
That's where I've been getting the older Famitsu columns from to translate for Source Gaming. So far, I have 4/8 of the books! Glad to see they are sticking with the 6/25 release date, as we might be able to pull up more Smash for 3DS/Wii U information.

Oh wait, 6/25 is today, lol.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Hey maybe this FE stuff will make people think nintendo is "hardcore" and people will buy more copies

 

[Khoru]

...no
the fact that it's selling is an issue, because better sales will indicate to nintendo/IS that this is what the series should be

I like it. You want his character to stay with you? Gonna have to work for it.

Reminds me a bit of Berwick Saga and its mercenary characters.

 

[PushDustIn]

Oh crap, I got a lot of translating to do. He has shots of Smash 4's project plan.

So wait, your going to translate both of those long books by yourselves !?!?
I commend you sir. We knew you well...

EDIT: Wait? He's showing us Beta screenshots of Smash 4?

 

[Burb]

What's really awesome about this deal is that it allows Sora to join Smash as a pure Disney rep, therefore opening up the coveted Sqaure Enix spot and making it even more likely that Geno will be added.

Geno's basically already confirmed because he's clearly the most requested and popular Nintendo character who's not already playable.

 

[Soul.]

So I was reading all this rumor fiasco and um, as much as Nintendo and Amazon partnering together may seem "true," I don't want the NX to run whatever Amazon systems run. It should be running its own OS.

 

[PushDustIn]

No mention of Wolf AFAIK.

Not the whole book. Plus, I have the other translators at Source Gaming to help out. Already sent the first article to Soma!

He's showing off the Project Presentation to Nintendo, that was done 1 month after Kid Icarus: Uprising was finished.

Rosalina and Robin are given summaries.

The amount of information on Dedede....oh my god.

You guys might be able to see it here: Click try it for free. Nothing interesting in the beta screenshots.

So I was reading all this rumor fiasco and um, as much as Nintendo and Amazon partnering together may seem "true," I don't want the NX to run whatever Amazon systems run. It should be running its own OS.

Amazon devices run a modified version of Android, so if the NX runs on any sort of Android base it wouldn't be a problem.

Too bad we actually know that the NX does NOT run on Android.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-nx-will-not-run-on-android/1100-6427749/

Rumor seems super bogus to me, but whatever, anything is possible. I believe the more detailed rumor actually says that the NX would be emulating Android in order to run Amazon apps, but that seems ridiculously inefficient to me.

 

[Burb]

The NX is secretly a new version of the Kindle that features audiobook readings by Iwata.

 

[Firus]

Geno's basically already confirmed because he's clearly the most requested and popular Nintendo character who's not already playable.

Just ask @Geno Boost.

I know pretty much no one else in this thread is in support of Geno being in Smash, but there's really no need to antagonize somebody specifically by tagging them in your remarks.

 

[PushDustIn]

Heihachi was briefly considered (Along with some other Tekken characters).

Well, it his opinion and I kinda agree with him. Never gave a care about Splatoon and still don't.

Looks meh to me.

fire emblem fates is turning out to be so bad it's good

Nope. It's so good that it's great

 

[CroonerMike]

I want the new fire emblem game, I just don't know how I feel about the customization. I can't have my long slicked back old man hair. lol

 

[PushDustIn]

I gotta go to work, will look more into these books tonight.

 

[AreJay25]

Well, that would explain the costume... but as cool as Heihachi is, why not consider Yoshimitsu, Sakurai? Hmm? HMM?!

The brutal deaths don't phase me a bit.

This is war.

Not even out of character for the series.
