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

[Burb]

What runs through my head whenever I see people complaining about Sonic Boom and the lack of regular Sonic:

Spoiler

Yes, the games suck, but regular Sonic games have seldom been good over the past decade and a half. The difference in character designs and setting aren't that drastic. Does it really matter that much? I don't recall this much complaining when Sonic grew taller and suddenly became skinnier back in Sonic Adventure. It's really not that big of a deal, I don't think. It's either play a crap game as a blue hedgehog with peach arms or play a crap game as a blue hedgehog with blue arms and sports tape all over his body.

I actually think Tails' design is a step up. He looks hella cute with those little goggles.

I can understand how dissatisfied some people got with the roster, but eack.. the MvC2 was the worst for me.. it was nothing more than an official MUGEN game.. they literally put every character from past Marvel's collaborations (including X-Men: Children of Atom and Marvel Super Heroes) without any other ambition. sure they had some newcomers, but doesn't nullify how inconsistent the content feels; ah.. and they put some Darkstalkers there, 'cause why not?

--I didn't know about Firebrand at Capcom Unity's poll.. but I don't think that changes his position between Capcom characters; ..

MvC2 was great to me. Playing games like COTA and XvsSF, I always wanted to be able to have Gambit vs. Colossus and such but never could. Especially as it had to be rushed because the license was expiring.

They actually added quite a few new characters to MvC2 as well; Jill, T-Bonne, Son Son, Amingo, Servbot, Ruby Heart, Hayato, Cable and Marrow.

Back then that was about the average for number of new characters in a game. After all, MvC1 only had 6 new characters.

Change your avi back and I won't. I don't even know who you are anymore!

 

[LIQUID12A]

Shuma-Gorath was back, so I was automatically happy with MVC3's roster.

Ultimate brought nothing of note to me, though. Ultron and Vile would have been sweet, but pipe dreams at best-

 

[Champ Gold]

Trolling or no trolling, you no joke about Banjo.

Banjo a s***, a s***.

He doesn't deserve to be in Smash

Spoiler

Now whether I'm trolling or not, you decide

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I'm just sad that we can't download Shuma or Jill to U/MVC3 anymore. Licensing issues suck and the least they coulda done is patch them in for free before the license expired.

 

[Burb]

I'm more disturbed by Waluigi.

What's an Assist Trophy doing on a list of potential DLC characters? Show's over, guys, move along.

but MvC1 was a more ambitious as a game than MvC2 ever was; for example, they changed a lot the characters, like Ryu and Zangief; Morrigan was completely different how she was in Darkstalkers, and they did a really good job in all polishing aspects, from the stages, menus, music, everything... MvC2 looked like made by the easiest way possible, with those incompatible 3D stages and lifeness overall design; (without mention that MvC1 came with tiny space after MSHvSF and also had a weaker hardware to work on it)...

but I can relate to the feel of having dream matches in my games; It's what Smash4 is being right now. =P

I see what you mean, but I had so much fun with it. It never felt like anything was missing from its predecessors and I could spend hours and hours just learning and mastering all the different characters.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

So I know no one else is probably going to care.

But I really hope Starfox Zero isn't a reboot of the franchise, cause it could mean going back to fighting Andross, AGAIN.

Literally Starfox was the one Nintendo series that didn't keep reusing the same main villian over and over again

 

[Kenith]

Undeserving DLC characters?

King K. Rool
-Snake
-Isaac
-Wolf
-Ice Climbers
-Bayonetta
-Inkling
-Waluigi
-Rayman
- Paper Mario
- Waluigi
- Chibi Robo
- Crystal (or Krystal, however you spell it)
- Rayman
- Banjo Kazooie

As for my reason:

You want Rick Astley in Smash before all those characters?
Good taste.

This is likely the fourth game with Andross as the final boss if we count 3D

Sonic is way more taller than he has ever been, and it makes him feel really lanky. It feels really awkward at that. The sports tape is really dumb too. With that said, I like Sonic wearing a scarf, I think that's pretty cool!

Also the settings of Sonic Boom is like out of a generic western cartoony platformer. Sonic's world is suppose to look stylistic and fun. The differences is pretty big.

Looks like it's going to be just the same old crap again. Really wish they could have just built on Assault, instead of, "when in doubt, go back to 64!"

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Yeah with Assault it actually felt the Starfox cast was developing. I mean Team Starwolf stopped being evil, and we're just petty criminals.

Although maybe Starfox Zero is a sequel to Starfox Assault and Krystal just retired and decided to go back home or something...

But not likely. I mean I don't really care if she's back or not. But having her would let us know if its after Assault or is a reboot after all.

And going back to 64's play style isn't bad, I'm just don't want them to redo its story again.

 

[Dravidian]

I'm just sad that we can't download Shuma or Jill to U/MVC3 anymore. Licensing issues suck and the least they coulda done is patch them in for free before the license expired.

I dunno about Jill since she's a capcom character, but they'd need Mavels permission to include shuma for free since the character was licensed to be sold for a price, not given for free (afaik).

Licensing agreements can be a pain.

 

[egaddmario]

If Kid Icarus ever gets another game, I have a feeling Dark Pit will take another significant role. I wouldn't be surprised if he was planned to be a major character for the rest of the franchise. It's kinda why I haven't written him off as a one-off character yet.


Backstory to this:

Back when Inafune was in Capcom. Him and Ono had an exchange, Ono would have Ryu in Mega Man Universe, and Inafune would have Bad Box Art Mega Man in SFxT. But MMU was cancelled and BBA Mega Man didn't debut in SFxT til later, which... was very unfortunate timing.

If you listen to Dark Pit's Guidance, it very well could be the plot of another KI game. Like, no joke.

Zero is definitely 64-era. Peppy's still a pilot, Pigma and Andrew are still with Star Wolf, Panther and Krystal no where to be seen.

In opinion which do you like better Boom or '06

I'm not sure if you're serious or just joking, but i would play KI games until i was on my deathbead. The characters, plot, settings, weapons, it's such an amazing game. I really hope the series continues as it's one of my favorite period.

 

[Chrono.]

If I KIU sequel does happen, I hope it's not based on the Pittoo Guidance.

It wouldn't make sense for Viridi to oppose Palutena anymore, Dark Pit himself calls them out for fighting amongst themselves in one chapter.

Half and half there, I would buy the next Kid Icarus if it maintains what Uprising had.

I dont care about what the story is I just want a sequel to my favorite game of all time

and another excuse to support Viridi

You didn't ask me, but I'll answer anyway.
Sonic 06 all the way. At least it has Blaze, and some good music.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Zero is definitely 64-era. Peppy's still a pilot, Pigma and Andrew are still with Star Wolf, Panther and Krystal no where to be seen.

Well I have a small hope that maybe hopefully Starfox Zero is either a midquel to 64 and Adventures or maybe a prequel to Starfox 64. But since Katt shows up and Fox knows who she is, it probably won't be a prequel to 64.

 

[AreJay25]

Not only this, but it actually at least plays like a Sonic game.

Yeah in opinion 06 all the way,Boom is just too eh to me I mean I like it but I would not keep it around my self
I mean miss Eggman 06

Miiverse is getting a redesign soon.

[DoodleDuck97]

Sonic 06 gives me honest enjoyment.
I laugh unbearably at the **** that happens to me in the game or the game itself.
I can also say Sonic and the other characters quotes are extremely memorable.
Sonic: "That Tornado's Carrying a Car" "Darn we're not gonna make it, let's speed up"
Shadow: "Don't Touch it"
Silver: "Iblis Trigger" "It's NO UsE!" etc.
The only thing I remember from Boom is, BOOST PAD!, This Must Be A BOOST PAD!.
Not to mention I didn't crack a smile whole playing the Sonic Boom ROL Demo.
I do go back to 06. Haven't beat it bar Sonic's Story.
But I find honest enjoyment from it. And someone is actually remaking it in Generations so even then.
Sonic 06's soundtrack is also incredible and the best part of the game.
Not to mention this:

It makes the game even better.

 

[TheAnvil]

It's a soft reboot. It's probably along the lines of what Star Fox 64 was to Star Fox on the NES.

I read about this earlier. Super happy! Miiverse's layout is really...awkward.

 

[Chrono.]

It would've been okay if SFZ had been a true sequel, but Command left the series in a really awkward position to make a sequel out of it.

 

[Soul.]

Sonic Boom is a million times worse than Sonic 06. Despite its flaws, it feels and plays like a Sonic game, unlike Boom (I'm talking about the Wii U version here) is focused on boring combat with no other attack types.
Both games are terrible, but Boom is on another level compared to Sonic 06.
Also, maybe it's just me, but I found Sonic's voice (starting 2005) annoying.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Honestly, I still think 06 was somewhat worse. 06 had one thing Boom didn't, hype. There was a ton of hype surrounding 06, and it turning out the way it did made it more upsetting. A couple people were cautiously optimistic for Boom when it was announced, but that changed during E3.

Still, Rise of Lyric is a very, very, VERY close second, I'm glad I rented it instead of buying it, and I'm happier it's the worse selling game in the series.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

How do I judge which is the worst Sonic game out of 06 and Boom? Which one is funnier to LP? Boom is worse. However, Labyrinth is the worst Sonic game imo
