In terms of story for most Zelda games, if your going for a minimalist run, most of the time Tingle is not required to interact with. Just like how Anna is not required to be interacted with either.

So the Anna comparison does actually work quiet well.
Anna=popular worldwide
Americans Hate Tingle
By saying Anna isn't required, you could argue Lucina is the only child unit you'll need to use in Awakening, Tingle's only playable in his games and Hyrule Warriors.

ALSO **** COMCEPT AS THE ONLY NON KICKSTARTER GAME THEY'VE DONE IS GUNVOLT

Did you mean to say Impa instead of Tingle that second time?

Either way Hyrule Historia still made the backstories of Zelda 1 and 2 canon, so Impa still remains important to the story of those 2 games.

Yeah Anna is playable in the latest games, but her role is still very small and you can choose not to recruit her. So her role in those games are more lie Tingle's role in Wind Waker, which is of relatively minor importance.
Whoops, fixed it now

7 8 11. 7's only flaw is how long it takes to do supports if you ask most fans, 8 has a world map and grinding, and 11 is Marth's game remade...But it's not that good to other games in comparison. Killer soundtrack though

Subtitle that sequels dropped, not to mention the fact I'm talking about the ACTUAL Spyro games
Rekka no Ken(7) seems the most interesting to me, I wish I could have gotten it from the ambassador's program, but I'm definitively getting it if/when I get a pre-paid card.
Or I'm just gonna download an emulator and play it there

Speaking of Tingle, have some good cosplay of him:


Very accurate if I do say so myself.

Rekka no Ken is truly amazing.
BAD FOLEO. NO EMULATORS!
I feel like you should only use emulators if you have the game itself and/or the game is unavailable in your country

Well, it's technically unavaible in my country, and the only ay for me to download it would be to buy a pre-paid E-Shop card on the States and let's just say that won't happen any time soon

And why does this guy have any relevance?
He is apart of Unseen64, probably reasonable to believe he does have some inside sources.


Speaking of unseen64, has this been posted yet?


I found it pretty disappointing how Nintendo treated those devs, shame really.

And when has Nintendo ever cared for Americans' opinion's on their characters
Also:
U.S.A<Rest of the World

Also Tingle got his own game case Zelda is way more popular then Fire Emblem.

I am literally only talking about main series games and how important the characters are to the plot of those games they appear in, and in both cases the biggest roles are usually rather small and only have very minor importance to the plot at all.
And I didn't play through Awakening with the children. I want my Amazon Brigade and Army of Yuri :p

Actually, one of my friends does have Rekka no Ken on her 3DS, might as well try to do a temporary 3DS exchange with her so I can play it

Er...Hasn't Sakurai said Tingle's hatebase is the reason he's not in Smash?
Last time I checked I didn't disagree, not to mention HW
Agreed, but Anna's here to stay, and considering how she's one of the few reappearing characters, that's something

Considering it was the Americans' distaste for Tingle that prevented his games from being released there (much to my dismay) and why Tingle wasn't in Twilight Princess (and instead we got an expy in Purlo), they actually do care.

U.S.A<Rest of the World
....you're asking for a fight here. Especially on a major American holiday.

And you're celebrating it by being on a video games forums discussing japanese games, what kind of "American" are you anyway? :troll:
I'm going to a party later where I'll be eating burgers and dogs while lighting fireworks. Does that count? :awesome:


EDIT: By "dogs", I'm referring to hot dogs, not canine companions.

.....something doesn't add up to the point that there may be a legitimate contradiction in what Sakurai said for once.
In today's article, you mentioned that Sakurai had said Robin had just been decided on August 20th of 2012.

In yesterday's article, translation in Sakurai's book in regards to the project proposal included the following:
"All fighters on the roster are decided from the beginning, along with themes to help bring out their unique attributes."
"Before deciding on the roster, I do some preliminary research on demand and popularity, but I don't make any changes once the project is in motion."

Since the "beginning" dates back to at least April 26th of 2012, that would mean Robin would have to have been proposed back then instead of Chrom, but Robin was said to be decided months later. Which would be a change while the project is in motion.

Is there something I've overlooked that would clear this up for me?
Nope it's a legitimate contradiction.

Maybe he had everyone decided but he had to drop Chrom / Chorus Men / anyone else later one because of development issues or because they weren't working as a fighter.

Dropping characters for hardware issues or time doesn't fall under what was said; those are cases of forces beyond the development team's control causing scraps to be made.

What does fall into the contradiction is the idea of deciding on Chrom in the beginning, and deciding on Robin later because there was more to work with for an interesting and unique theme.

there's really nothing wrong here. kickstarter isn't evil and 800k is not a lot to make a game.
i think it's cool that they're fleshing out the "mn9 universe" like this
They're digging themselves in a hole, even without the community manager's controversy. Inafune's working on Recore, a Microsoft IP. They made 3 kickstarters for MN9, 1 of which being for DLC, the other extra one for a tv show, and none of these are released. There's a reason people think of Shantae, Yooka Laylee and Bloodstained when you ask about unreleased kickstarter games. Hell, Shantae Halfgenie Hero's beta is pretty impressive from what I hear

Speaking of kickstarter, can't wait for Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee. Put too much money into both of them because I'm a sucker for physical copies.

mighty no 9 is two months out now. the only work that could be left on it is debugging, translation, and the like. what this means is that, without such a thing as red ash existing, you'd have a ton of development people sitting around doing nothing.
the ray dlc wasn't its own kickstarter and it's silly to say that three things haven't been released when it's coming with the game. it's also disingenuous to bring up yooka-laylee and bloodstained, because their kickstarters were slightly over a month ago.
We KNOW these guys are professionals, and Yooka Laylee's footage actually looks quite nice.
yeah i don't trust this inafune guy. he's a real newcomer to the industry

Has Sakurai ever said that about Tingle

Also he is in Smash remember? As an assist Trophy :troll:


Hyrule Warriors is a spin-off. Don't be surprised if yo can get Anna to join your party in SMTxFE now.

Like I said when has Nintendo ever cared about American's opinions on their characters. Anouma is the one who choose to omit Tingle from Twilight Princess. Also probably the PR dept of Nintendo of decided to not release Tingle's game in the U.S.A, who are part of Nintendo, not Nintendo

...you're asking for a fight here. Especially on a major American holiday.
Major American holiday? You sure about that? Pretty sure July 4th is just another day to most North and South America countries :troll:

And you're celebrating it by being on a video games forums discussing japanese games, what kind of "American" are you anyway? :troll:

Only if you blow up something and blame another country :troll:
Mario Maker did 9/11
What have I done? I feel so good and so evil for doing this. I didn't know I had this kind of power! Now to use it to takeover the world!!:evil:

that's pretty much completely independent of the actual game development

Same for Bloodstained, that game is gonna be big time.

Nintendo, the least you could do is at LEAST be on par with the PS4 when it comes to the power of the NX :ohwell:

I'd love to see games like Arkham Knight on a Nintendo Console.
So you want Megaman X5 on NX? :smirk:

Just ask for a Wii U port:smirk:

Nope, Recore
They're most wellknown games are Not-Mega Man. Out of all 3 of these, only one isn't with Kickstarter.
Yooka Laylee looks more impressive, whereas Bloodstained has much more promise, Mega Man games were easy to make based on the short development time, and as technology has advanced, I feel like MN9 getting a delay is a bit weird, especially with how much stuff they're working on, they are biting off more than they can chew.

I'm a big Mega Man fan, my problem isn't him being 'new' but how he's using Kickstarter a lot
