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

[eltacoenojado]

Sad day. Nintendo has been a very important part of my life. Although I could not have my own video game system until I could afford to buy one myself, I have many fond memories of playing with my friends. Nintendo will still continue, and will still be great.
R.I.P Iwata. Thanks for the memories.

 

[Ivander]

GG Swamp, you got me back

...Also I just realized something.
We have lost Monty Oum, James Horner, John Nash, B.B King, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, Satoru Iwata, and Chikao Ohtsuka so far during the year.

So many figure heads across so many different forms of media passing on within 6 months.
This is the year that will remembered as one of the hardest years to swallow for many, many people.

Do not forget Sir Terry Pratchett.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

The first true Direct without him is going to be so bittersweet and so surreal.

 

[Chrono.]

Polygon.Please your killing me.Just stop

They seem to have fixed it already?

 

[AreJay25]

The first true Direct without him is going to be so bittersweet and so surreal.

Regarding this, does anyone know how soon in advance Directs are recorded? For all we know there's some footage of Iwata that was going to be used...

 

[Champ Gold]

It's gonna be messed up seeing either Bill Trinen or Reggie doing it for us instead of Iwata

This was the last Direct Iwata did and it was the best of the year. Iwata saved Smash that day

[Luigi The President]

I'm in shock.

I'm not sure if I'm going to bawl my eyes out tommorow.
I already feel like I am.

I miss you so much, Mr. Iwata.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The Kutthroats have set out to draw their character thanking Iwata for all he has done.

We invite you to do the same.

Post it in your character's thread.

The same man who saved Mother 2, Super Smash Bros., and salvaged various games. Also the same man that made Kanto possible in Pokémon Gold & Silver when other programmers at Game Freak couldn't figure it out. We would not be here today had it not been for Iwata, so the very fact we all post on here shows that our lives have been indirectly, if not directly, impacted by Satoru Iwata. Mother 2 is one of my all-time favorite video games and Iwata's death is a reminder of how much he has shaped Nintendo and the video game industry.

I will never forget Iwata as long as I live. R.I.P. 1959-2015

I'll do this for Sylux tomorrow.

It's late, never mind that I need to bawl my eyes out anyway.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Today I sat down. For no good reason, I was on the E-shop having a giggle with @ Swamp Sensei about how the UK have 5 Wii games more on the virtual console. I checked E3 in the search bar. I watched the start of 2014's E3 were he was fighting Reggie with his Mario Amiibo.
I then decided to briefly check 2013. I watched and smiled at the happiness of how he sounded when saying this is where are meetings will be held from now onwards. The games were great to re-see.
He Gave me so much. I only had a GBA back then because I never had a gamecube I had the Ps2.
He helped shape my childhood. He helped make me the Gamer I am today. He was...... He was part of the Big 3

Without him. The smash series wouldn't exist. I wouldn't have an Amiibo collection of all my favourite Nintendo charters.
This Board wouldn't exist. None of us would have ever met.
I last saw him at his happiest. When he gave me the greatest gift of all.
Thank you Sir Satoru Iwata.
WE ALL PK LOVE YOU

>the first Brawl in the Family update in almost 8-9 months was a tribute to Iwata and not something funny

God, please. I'm trying my best not to cry but goddamn it why

Can you go back and reword that? It sounds like you're saying Iwata doesn't deserve that kind of respect from BiTF imo.

But don't fret, I am also trying not to cry.

And I thought I couldn't cry harder.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Even though it's an abnormal day, and I'm an in abnormal state of mind, I went to work as normal and am continuing development as normal. This would be what Mr. Iwata would have wanted, after all. I will do what I must."

Really? I got the opposite impression. He's saying that this was a big enough deal for BitF to come out of hiatus, making him even more sad.

On a similar note, I will not draw my character paying respect to Iwata. I feel like it would be making propaganda for them at his expense, and that feels wrong to me.
Not shaming anyone who does this, though.

I'm heading to bed. Got work and I really don't want to feel like crap anymore. Gonna sleep it off.

Still RIP Mr. Iwata

 

[epicmartin7]

Do you guys want to press F to pay respects?

Sakurai is the greatest. I can't even imagine how he feels right now.

You mind posting this in Sylux's thread too? Just so that when I do it, it doesn't become a double post.

 

[SuperMii3D]

This is the first time in 2 years that I seriously cried. It sucks guys. Iwata wasnt just a president, he worked with us and made a connection with us as gamers to let us know that he and Nintendo cared about us. With all the Nintendo Directs and sillyness that went on, you could feel yourself being more and more attached to Mr. Iwata and crew. May you forever rest in piece Satoru Iwata and thank you for your work and dedication.

Possibly unpopular opinion below/ nerd rage. Beware:

Spoiler

I have a bit of nerd rage with people using non-Iwata games to honor him. I don't understand the Metal Gear salute at all, as that's not even Nintendo. It's more of a "meme" than "Iwata".

Like my ex sent me a picture of Iwata in the sky of Mario 64...and to me that's not really honoring him as he didn't put his heart into that game. Balloon Fight, Mother 2, Super Smash Brothers, Pokemon Gold and Silver, Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Snap, etc...those games and anything he's produced should be the games that we remember. Not Metal Gear Solid.

I'm not trying to bash anyone who does it, as I'm sure they have the best of intentions. It just comes off as...idk...not totally real. If that makes sense.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Iwata was truly a part of all of our childhoods...It says something that I haven't cried about losing my father all these years...Yet I'm on the brink of crying for a man I never knew...All I can do is pay my respects and continue to support Nintendo

This is looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Even if it does bother you, you should criticize things like this.

I wasn't even thinking of it as a meme tbh, but just as something I thought kinda connected well, considering snake was around for Brawl, which was around during the highest point of Iwata's run as President, and he doesn't often get connected to Nintendo, but kinda does in this instance

Like I said...I understand their sentiment, and I'm sure they have the best intentions but I can't fully understand it. I know it's a really unpopular opinion, and my timing isn't perfect, but that's just how I feel. I can fully understand why/ how people would react to such a thing being said though.

Again, not directed at anyone in particular. Just something I've noticed in general.

 

[LIQUID12A]

It's worth mentioning that Iwata convinced Sakurai to open the ballot.

So whoever gets in also has him to thank.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Thank god I only have an hour and a half of work today...This man was a legend and I'm still having difficulty

 

[Tr1pleDee]

just beat Mother 3

CAN'T HANDLE ALL THESE EMOTIONS

Seriously, that theme is so beautiful, but it's breaking my heart right now...

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

After all the tears surrounding Iwata's passing I really feel like writing a fanfic.

I don't know why.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You know what the worst part is? We haven't lost a great person from Nintendo. We lost someone who made video games what they are today. This isn't a sad day for Nintendo fans but gamers worldwide

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Balloon Fighter DLC for Smash Brothers should be done in his honor.

Who cares about Villager having his gimmick as an UP+B.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Jim Sterling made a second Jimquisition just for Iwata, he always said he praised how Nintendo showed us stuff

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Sometimes you just gotta love the internet

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm glad my cat woke me up, because otherwise I'd still be ignorant. I just want to stay in bed all day now.

 

[AreJay25]

I love how a majority of the internet, a place with arguments, trolls and all around jerk-ish actions can come together in times like this. It's bizarre, yet heartwarming.

Think of it this way.

Iwata was an important man to the entire gaming industry.

It is all but reasonable if other games are used to honor him, as his influence in the gaming world is almost unparalleled and one that deserves respect. Why else did Sony send condolences?

Not criticizing your opinion, just offering a different outlook on it,
