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

[Naoshi]

In a perfect world, PSABR would have a more sensible roster and great gameplay. I would really love Sony to give that game another shot, but it seems the game sold extremely poorly.

What the ****.

Ugh, why do people do this.

It was originally a mistranslation I think? But yeah, this whole thing is a mess now...

 

[CyberWolfBia]

Imagine nintendo with all of the power of playstation .
Many new ip and backup from sony.
nintendo would have been absurdly huge wouldn't it? This is the part where people prove me wrong and it wouldnt be that
at great.


crash and spyro in smash minumum . Also PSABR wouldnt exist.

Spoiler

and sora too

most important! We would have Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie released in disc, which could turn them much bigger! OH GOD... Can you even imagine the size of DK64 in disc?! --Expand Dong indeed! D=

EDIT: Yep. The tweet's apparently a joke.

So this being real or not is still up in the air!

YAAAAY! The gaming holy grail myth can't die!

Hopefully someone actually sheds some light on this.

And on the topic of PSABR, the game sold 900k, not counting digital copies. Not too bad but definitely not up to snuff with Sony's standards.

 

[Soul.]

Wait, is that the final Pokken roster? With 0 Gen 5 or Gen 6 Pokemon? What the actual ****?

No, the full roster will be revealed when the game releases on arcades on July 16th.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Secret characters exist, you know.

I believe we'll have a few Pokemon left unrevealed in Pokken to be a surprise.

Secret as in won't be revealed until release day or Reptile level secret?

 

[AreJay25]

lol

Just did a quick search for Pokken on Google, and the image they have on the right is fan made boxart for a Wii U version.

Google pls.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Reptile level secret.

Or in the vein of the Marvel vs games on arcades. Needing a special input or something.

 

[continuityOfficer]

Here's a visual of what the roster will look like:

No Blaziken?
wasnt that shown off before?
Was it cut i guess?

 

[AreJay25]

Reptile level secret.

Shadow Gardevoir, Gold Gengar and Orange Pikachu confirmed.

 

[Kenith]

Being in Pokken doesn't suddenly make Weavile a likely candidate for Smash.
Just ask Impa, Sceptile, Captain Toad, and every other character people latched onto because they were in a recent game.

Thanks, I didn't realize before you told me.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Shadow Gardevoir, Gold Gengar and Orange Pikachu confirmed.

It'd be clever if they made shiny alts accessible via special inputs, actually.

 

[Champ Gold]

Shadow Gardevoir, Gold Gengar and Orange Pikachu confirmed.

Sounds like Marvel vs Capcom 1's secret characters

Spoiler

Think I'm playing, look it up

 

[CyberWolfBia]

To be honest, I was first skeptical when I saw it because the word was "PlayStation", not "Play Station". Nintendo sued Sony over that trademark, so Sony just combined the words. Even though I was confused/sceptical, I still believed it 100% until it was disconfirmed.

they had the two words together by aesthetic, but "Play" and "Station" uppercase.. the same applies to later Sony consoles which has Playstation as one word. --Separated or not, they always wrote that way, the issue was just in the trademark registers.

Did it really sold 900k? I recall the game launching really poorly. If the majority from it came from huge price cuts then that's not good... And given that games that bomb at launch tends to drop in price a lot...

Yeah, I remember it not selling too well initially. Price cuts probably had something to do with it later on in its shelf life.

Spyro and Crash may not have even been invented.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, mentioned that PSASBR did "quite well" in the long run. He even said to "never say never" in regards to a sequel.

So there's that.

 

[Deleted member]

PSASBR was good, it was just that the roster was poorly chosen, the stages were awful and the gameplay was slow and one dimensional

 

[Champ Gold]

Nah, Red Venom is the ****.

Spoiler

But Roll is still the best secret character

 

[Solfiner]

That you need a special to KO someone in PSABR is what completely kills it for me personally.

I wonder when we'll get the next character announcement for Smash.

 

[AreJay25]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Bill Trinen confirming that he is indeed competing at EVO.

Nah, Red Venom is the ****.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Roll is secret in TvC?

 

[Deleted member]

No, the full roster will be revealed when the game releases on arcades on July 16th.

Oh hey, that's my birthday. C'mon Namco, do this for me
*Points at username*

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

In other words; good in theory, but poorly executed.

And just because of that, Sony probably won't try to save the series with a second title. They're too sacred of losing money again!

 

[Solfiner]

Bill Trinen confirming that he is indeed competing at EVO.

Wow, that's actually really cool.

 

[AreJay25]

I'm one of the few people who thought PS All Stars had an okay roster.

It had Sir Dan, Spike and Parappa, that was cool enough for me.

Spoiler

Heihachi was cool too, but the other four third parties were rather unnecessary. Except maybe Raiden. He ended up being cool.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

Nah, Red Venom is the ****.

Spoiler

Spoiler

You spelled Shadow Lady wrong;

Inb4 Weavile Smash DLC requests because of Pokken.


Spyro and Crash may not have even been invented.

probably would be the case; Crash and Spyro were created with the purpose of competing with Mario; but Naughty Dog would be still with Sony/Nintendo, I guess.

 

[LIQUID12A]

PSASBR had Colonel Radec and that kept me in it for a year and a half.

Saw the game through to it's last patch before leaving it.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

Clip Art Smash Bros. confirmed.

THEHYPEBOYZ!!!

 

[Substitution]

Bill Trinen needs to fight HungryBox.
For Reggie.

 

[Deleted member]

If you're trying to make a clone, make a good one, look at that game 'Rivals of Aether', it's basically Smash with someone's OCs, if Sony wanted, they could have done a full Smash clone and it would have been much better.
I think they used pretty much all of the first parties they still had the rights to(*cough* Crash and Spyro*cough*), but the third ones are just bad:
Raiden, Big Dad, Isaac Clarke, etc. I can't even remember the rest of the roster

 

[IceBreakerXY]

So my favorite pokemon is now in pokken.Good job Weavile now next stop Mega Weavile

 

[Burb]

Thanks, I didn't realize before you told me.

Sorry, I was under the impression that you were being serious about Weavile and thought this actually increased its non-existent chances.

Given how realistic your expectations usually are, I'm not quite sure how I came to that conclusion.

 

[Champ Gold]

What about an Xbox Smash Bros?

I'll be down for that

 

[AreJay25]

Just need to say this about Pokken.

I'm tired of Zangoose getting the short end of the stick.

Seriously, it's one of my favorite Gen 3 Pokemon and it actually has a rivalry with another. And Nintendo forgets it exists.

They could have given it and Seviper Mega Evolutions and they didn't.

And it would have been perfect in Pokken but it's apparently not in.

I'm tired of this INJUSTICE. #FreeZangoose

It's not only that... PSASBR doesn't have personality.. it's literally a poor designed Smash ripoff with Sony characters instead of Nintendo's.. The genre of "brawler" (which I guess we can sub-categorize Smash) is very flexible.. and yet they put little effort to delivery a very unique game. C'mon, I liked Battle Stadium D.O.N. by what it is, even being very alike Smash Bros.

This guy knows what's up.

I was hoping I'd see Zangoose here, since he's already not viable for actual Pokemon games lol

 

[DMurr]

Anything....eh?


New type for Olimar. It's listed under Olimar's project details.

By the way, we are going to release most of the slides soon! @ DMurr is working on transcribing them- - so maybe sometime this weekend!

A little delayed, but these are finished! I will be posting them up sometime today!
