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

[ThePenguinGamer0]

For Glory is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I honestly wish it didn't exist.

I think you would prefer For Friends.

 

[DMurr]

I think you would prefer For Friends.

Not sure if that's an Ike joke or not, lol.

 

[AreJay25]

For Glory is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I honestly wish it didn't exist.

You haven't experienced true hell until you get paired up with someone using an internet connection from Neptune.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So...

The middle one?

That's where its broken for me.

 

[Champ Gold]

For Glory is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I honestly wish it didn't exist.

It's either that or For No Fun Allowed aka it's nothing but time matches, **** stocks.

I wish the 3DS will get tournament mode so I can ignore it. I just want mess around in Dreamland, Yoshi's Island, Arena Gerox and Corneria without just doing their FD modes with only just 2 stocks.

 

[Firus]

Not sure if that's an Ike joke or not, lol.

EDIT: I misread your post lol, but yeah I think it's supposed to be an Ike joke.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Raise your GSP.

Then it becomes better.

 

[AreJay25]

I thought it was confirmed that had nothing to do with the matchmaking? I've fought some ridiculously good players and yet my GSP isn't very high.

 

[Kenith]

For Glory is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I honestly wish it didn't exist.

For Glory seems to deliberately plot against its users.
When the connection is good, the players are terrible. And when the connection is terrible, the players are really really good.
Ouch.

 

[Luigi The President]

I just made 2 best friends on For Fun..
Leslie the Ness ruined it.

Miss them already.

 

[Soul.]

FG is secretly a blessing to those that want to have an idea of what the competitive scene is like, but I wish it could like... have proper matchmaking options, legal stages (those that don't have hazards) and other stuff.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

So how about that indie sale?!

I might get Shantae and see what the fuss is about, but what should I get else from the list?

 

[Naoshi]

There's an indie sale?! Wii U or 3DS?

 

[Burb]

A lot of us were skeptical, not all of us were so sure in our wrongness lol.

I'm suddenly reminded of that one Reddit post where a guy said that he'd send nudes of himself to his father-in-law if the leak was real.

 

[AreJay25]

Mighty Switch Force. It's a platformer-puzzle game by Wayforward. It's relatively short but has some good replay value.

 

[Kenith]

I prefer short with a lot of replay value. I would take that to a long game with no replay value any day.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

There's an indie sale?! Wii U or 3DS?

http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/epic-indie-sale-announced-for-wii-u-eshop/

Wii U it would seem.

 

[Kenith]

Wonder why they don't have Shovel Knight on that sale?

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

Daily Nightmare Fuel: Brawl Goomba and Brawl Koopa Troopa Edition.

Daily Nightmare Fuel: Brawl Goomba and Brawl Koopa Troopa Edition.

Hm...
Those actually look pretty cool imo. It'd be cool if we had another realistic Zelda with those versions of Mario enemies (like Link's Awakening did)

In the Smash 64 polls, Sakurai was asked about including Daisy.
Sakurai responded, 'That princess from Sarasaland? Has she been in any other Mario games?' (not exact quote. Please for the love of god don't quote me on this).

Personally, I think it would be interesting to have a character embody the spin-off Mario games. But it could be a Party Star. Daisy or Waluigi don't necessarily represent the side games, and they definitely aren't the main stars of those games (pun fully intended).

Sakurai forgot that Daisy appears in NES Open Tournament Gold back in 1991, unless of course Sakurai meant appears in the mainstream games.

It's basically impossible to fairly represent the Mario spin-offs with a character. The best you could really do is represent RPGs with Paper Mario, sports/party games with Waluigi (after this game that is), and everything else leave up to stages/musics/items/etc. Thing is, we don't need representations for the sake of it.

I totally agree--stages/ music / items are by far the best way to represent these spinoffs. My post was merely aimed at those people who believe Daisy should get in to represent the side games themselves.

Like you mention, the very idea of representing these side games is a very important question.

I have little faith in Waluigis chances.

 

[Retroend]

so to celebrate my 1000th post, here's a picture of all the current amiibos i own, in the order that i obtained them:



front row: Kirbster, Yoshster, Marister, Pikaster, Linkster, Didster, Luister, Peachsta, Samsta, Donkster.

second row: Foxster, Zelsta, Bowster, Falconster, Shulkster, Toonster, Sheiksta, Ikester, Megaster, Sonister.

third row: Dededester, Pitster, Pacster, Nesster, Warister, Metaster, Charizster, Wii Fitsta, Marthster, Greninster.

fourth row: Jigglysta, Macster, Villaster, Lucarster, Lucinsta, Robinster, Rosalinsta, Pittooster, Zerosta, Palutensta, Ganonster.


i'm finally a smash lord! looking forward to the next title! and the rest of the amiibos on the way!

For me, because every Mario character in Smash already appears in all the spin-offs they all count as "spin-off" reps, making one added for that exact reason really unnecessary.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Daisy should get in because she's Daisy. The moveset comes next, and that's just the other half of the equation. One thing to remember is that Sakurai does actually give characters a role, and that can simply be their purpose for being in. So a "Sports user" would be a legitimate role for Daisy. Not to represent the spin-offs, but to have a real sports user in general. I'd prefer Waluigi first, but I see her appeal. I just worry about her voice being annoying.

 

[Kenith]

Didn't stop Ness and Fox.

 

[PushDustIn]

Didn't stop Ness and Fox.

Or Captain Falcon!

 

[Kenith]

Or Captain Falcon!

No. Captain Falcon's voice is not annoying.
See this video?

This two-hour video of moving, emotional and epic music?
Captain Falcon can summarize it with his powerful voice in four words.

Spoiler

Actually it is kinda annoying.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Wouldn't be surprised

Should we have Pokkenboards be a thing?

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about Sakurai coming up with a moveset not based on the actual moves/ game of the character. Yeah Falcons voice is godlike.

Gotta wait for the game comes to consoles lol.

Where did you get that belt and that awesome artwork to the right?

Oh...really? That is a strange misunderstanding. It could go either way though.
I honestly do not always enjoy Falcon's voice because it reminds me of For Glory scrubs.

Every time I see a photograph of a Lucina amiibo I die inside.

I would definitely put Shantae on top priority. I just beat it today, great game. If you love Metroidvanias, you'll love Shantae. Heads up though, make sure you get all the Dark Magic for the best ending.

In terms of other games, Mighty Switch Force is a very good puzzle platformer, and it's made by the same developers.

So I've been playing Minish Cap recently and one of the things I'm curious about is the intro which tells the tale of the Hero of Men an earlier incarnation of Link before Minsh Cap.

And I'm probably only one who wants the Link and the story in Zelda Wii U to be about that incarnation.

 

[Geno Boost]

Good to hear. I look forward to seeing what your Japan Expo poll has once it is brought up for us to see.So as I'm suspecting, not much.
Geno Boost's behavior is reminiscence of how I behaved on Internet forums back when I was fourteen/fifteen years old. In other words, pretty bad. Hopefully he'll look back five years from now and cringe at the stuff he's said like I do.
Swap that with Snake (and me feeling he has a 50/50 shot at being DLC) and you have my thoughts on third-party chances.

hey i am not really that bad but i am bad at english

Well maybe Gustaf.

Either way, he's not a Link.

I agree. It could also detail the origins of another character from The Minish Cap.
Ghirahim is the main villain of the new Zelda and when he is defeated at the end, with his dying breath he says that an incarnation of his hatred will be reborn for eternity just like Demise.

(Not really though )

i've heard the idea that vaati himself was just a greedy minish, but the sealed power inside the chest was actually demise's influence

He could be a Link.
If Nintendo established that the Hero doesn't have to be a dude named Link every time.
I really wish they would.
