Imagine if a Smash game removed Mario and Link.

Imagine if a Zelda game took out the Master Sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Squid.

Imagine if a Zelda game took out the Master Sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Squid.

Link's Awakening. Majora's Mask. Link's Crossbow Training(justified, at least, since it has no usable swords), Phantom Hourglass. Spirit Tracks. All Four Swords games as is(including Minish Cap). Wasn't in the first two Zelda games either. Just saying.

It crashes the most during Arcade Mode. It's a very difficult to finish game. it's a cool game in theory, but it was awful. No "So bad it's good", either. That's something 06, Wii U Boom, etc. can say. This game? Nah. Was just bad.

At least it's "improved" endings go under that "so bad it's good" spectrum.

 

[AreJay25]

At least it's "improved" endings go under that "so bad it's good" spectrum.

You want to know what's hilarious about these endings (besides the cringeworthy voice acting)? The animations are literally the same as they are in the 64 version. No changes whatsoever besides looking nicer.

Jumpman and Mario are two different people. Jumpman the carpenter and Mario the plumber, mind blown.

 

[AreJay25]

I'm actually surprised Sakurai is willing to do balance patches. It's for the best too, I don't even want to know what would happen if characters like Diddy Kong never got changed.

Spoiler

Even though I didn't mind Diddy at all

Please don't treat Game Theory as fact.

For the love of all please don't....

The TF2 fan in me screams for mercy.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

I mean... that doesn't really matter in this case unless it already came out. Like good for them that they might localize her games at some point but as of right now it's most likely a very small amount of people in Japan that are aware of her. Until it's 100% that her games are over there AND that they are selling well, she still doesn't have global support. And it's a GLOBAL ballot for Smash. So... yeah.

I respect your opinion, but I'll keep on supporting her in this ballot. I've been looking around the internet and have been seeing Shantae pop-up in a lot of people's Top 10 which shows theirs interest and I've even seen Shantae mentioned in random japanese gaming blogs for smash which I'm actually surprised to see.

If people treated them like such, I'd still like the show.

 

[Champ Gold]

With the announcement of Nintendo doing more third party deals, hopefully it comes with USF4, MGSV, Yazuka 1&2 HD being ported, new game exclusives and a one more crossover

I'm actually surprised Sakurai is willing to do balance patches. It's for the best too, I don't even want to know what would happen if characters like Diddy Kong never got changed.

Spoiler

I think Nintendo themselves force the patch on Sakurai. Plus with all the DLC characters, might as well balance eith them and fix the crazy stuff.

 

[AreJay25]

Game Theory comes up with the most absurd stuff that I just can't take them seriously.

Like, I will never forget Rosalina somehow being Peach's daughter.

@ Champ Gold Yeah, DLC will just create more balance patches. Seems like a lot of work depending on how many characters they end up adding.

 

[shrooby]

You're not supposed to take Game Theory seriously.
Like, it's supposed to make sense to an extent but also be really stupid. That's the fun joke about it.

Well, if that's the point then they're definitely doing their job.

 

[XLIFE]

If people treated them like such, I'd still like the show.

I still enjoy it, it's a thought out and well put together show with actual research of the topic, albeit I understand how some get annoyed at folks that go around saying Luigi is Rosalina's father or that Mario is communist. It doesn't bother me much, I understand some take things more seriously than others. But shutting them down or disliking GT for it shouldn't be our course of action.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I can't wait for just about everything about this article to be skipped over and just see it headlined as "Sakurai Thinks Competitive Play is a Waste"

Sakurai could have an interview consisting of one question.

The question could be ''What is your favorite lunch meat?"

He could giggle and answer ''Ham."

Somehow the Smash community would turn that into. ''OH MY GOD HE SAID HAM, BECAUSE HE HAMMING AGAINST THE COMPETITIVE COMMUNITY. THIS MAN MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS."

Game Theory is absolutely clickbait trash and being funny isnt an excuse because it isn't. (Plus MattPat isn't funny at all)


That Wii U/Virtual Boy and the whole Pew Die Pie videos made me realize they guy isnt someone to take seriously

 

[BluePikmin11]

Was it stated in the DK manual that Jumpman was at least a carpenter, that's all I need to know.

 

[Radical Bones]

People would also question the interviewer and Sakurai's relationship.

'What if they're friends? What if the interviewer was in the main dev room? He must be hinting at Super Meat Boy.'

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

You're not supposed to take Game Theory seriously.
Like, it's supposed to make sense to an extent but also be really stupid. That's the fun joke about it.

That's why I will never understand the hate for Game Theory.


I mean, if the show is designed to more or less to get people to think about cool little theories surrounding mysterious of our favorite game worlds and to not take it seriously, I don't understand why people hate or despise the show so much

 

[SlickWylde]

Oh, and don't forget the commercials.

Because obviously the best way to market your console is to belittle your targeted demographic.

That kind of commercial would totally work for me, I thought it was pretty good. I like when companies don't take themselves too seriously

 

[shrooby]

That's why I will never understand the hate for Game Theory.


I mean, if the show is designed to more or less to get people to think about cool little theories surrounding mysterious of our favorite game worlds and to not take it seriously, I don't understand why people hate or despise the show so much

Because of the people who do take it seriously.
I don't take Game Theory seriously. I laugh at it. That's the point of it.
I think Matt Pat is pretty funny He's so detailed and acts so serious about it that it's funny. That's the point of the show.

Sure, I guess it's "click bait."
But to be fair the titles aren't misleading; that's exactly what the videos are actually about lol
It's "click bait" in a similar way satirical articles are "click bait," I guess, if you want to call it that.

Who placed their bets on a Sonic crossover reveal for today?
...no one?

New Famitsu column to translate?

Whats next? Are Sega and Disney going to team up to make a crossover TV show where Sonic and co are warped to a Disney world because of chaos control, and Eggman unites with a bunch of Disney evil scientists, thus causing Sonic and his friends to unite with the Disney heroes that fight them, while they also search for the Chaos emeralds? If they make gotta go fast the theme song again, I'd wanna actually see that.

I found myself (foolishly) hoping that Nintendo would do something for F-Zero's 25th Anniversary this year. Then I also remembered it's Super Mario Bros' 30th.

Not Nintendo, but whatever: https://archive.moe/v/search/image/7L7gbd7MB6d6tkzI_KV3cA/

As a note, I dont mean J-Star Victory VS+ that will be coming here in a few days, but another game entirely that will come out sometime around late next year, and should be announced sometime around feburary next year.

The game will be a PS4 and PSVita exclusive, and will essentially take the new version of the game that was brought here (with its minor game play tweaks and arcade mode) and use use that as a base to add more characters on.

It will have a new set of story modes though.

The title is in flux, but the English translation seems like it'll simply be Ultimate J-Star Victory VS.

There will be 8 new playable characters, and 7 new total supports.

Playable:
1: Deku from Boku No Hero Acadamia, his attacks actually hurt him, but they are very powerful

2: Jotaro Kujo, he uses his stand, Star Platinum along with himself for attacks

3: Hisoka (upgraded from support), uses his Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise to play tricks with the enemy.

4: Yugi Moto, uses his deuling deck to attack by summoning monsters and having them attack.

5: Kagura (upgraded from assist), she uses her parasol and sadaharu for most of her attacks

6: Dark Schneider from *******!! he uses his magic for attacks, as you might imagine.

7: Yuma Kuga from World Trigger, he ofcourse uses his various triggers, once again like you would imagine

8: Suguru Kinniku from Kinnikuman, he uses his Kajiba no Kuso Djikara, Kinniku Buster, Kinniku Driver, etc to attack.

Supports:

1: Kurapika replaces Hisoka as a support from Hunter X Hunter

2: Zoro of One Peice

3: Ashirogi Muto from Bakuman

4: Eve from Black Cat

5: Light Yagami and Ryuk from Death Parade

6: Krillin from Dragon Ball

7: Soma from shokugeki no Soma

also, not nintendo, but there arent eough leaks to just do nintendo:

Hi /v/ I work for Bethesda and I've come here to leak a few things for fun.


You're not only expected but encouraged to not believe me.


Fallout 4 begins with you in a cryogenic sleep chamber, as either the mother or the father of the baby seen in the trailer. You live in the vault for some years before being put in cryogenic chambers along with the other residents of the vault due to a vault-tec experiment. By the time you are put into these the baby seen in the video is around 15. The Vault tells the dwellers that they are all being put to sleep because they will die before the world is safe again if they are not so they will comply with the experiment. The children are in reality unfrozen minutes later, with the parents staying frozen. They are told they have been asleep for years, and that the adults did not make it through the cryogenic sleep due to some unforeseen complication, and are told to leave the vault to repopulate the world. They reluctantly leave, believing the world has had enough time to recover. By the time they notice this is not the case, the vault has locked them out. Still believing their parents are dead, your child included they set off for the wastes of Boston. 15 years later, after all the children who have survived the harsh post-apocalyptic world have aged, you and the other adults are awoken and told that your children have left years earlier. The Vault does not trick or force the dwellers into leaving this time however, it just gives them the option. You will be given a dialogue choice on whether you'd like to leave or not, and if you pick no you will be given a quick projector montage of the rest of your boring life in the vault, with yes setting you off to find your son. You set off to find your child, as some others in the vault do, and meet dogmeat very soon after leaving the vault. Eventually as you'd imagine you meet up with your son, along with other former vault dwellers, both dead and alive along the way.

Its an adition to another leak, but whatever: https://archive.moe/v/thread/297525096/#297539213

The leak is legit on the Sony side of things, at least. Its missing some stuff though that I've seen, but that's probably due to its age meaning a lot of this wasn't decided for the show.

>Gravity Rush 2 is PS4/Vita and not cross buy, coming early 2016
>Several psx games are getting added to psn, most are niche but Crosc1&2 are included
>God Eater 2 Rage Burt is coming to the West this Winter, Vita version will be digital only
>Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is getting localised and is being released digital only
>No Man's Sky is getting a release date on PS4, no word on PC version
>P4 Dancing All Night is being shown off super briefly
>Persona 5 NA release date and Western-oriented trailer are being revealed

There's probably more stuff I haven't been made aware of but I'd be shocked if its anything besides media/psnow news.

pastebin leak i found looking for the one the last leak was referencing: http://pastebin.com/Nfc2WXBc

Nintendo Digital Event @E3 2015: Content leaked!

A few days ago Nintendo recorded the Digital Event that will be shown on Tuesday, June 16th 9am PT. Thanks to a friend who works at NoA and who had access to the video, I can give you a full list of what will be shown at E3, since he sent me the following text via email yesterday. Please note that this list only contains what will be shown in the Digital Event itself. It will not include Twitter announcements (like Mario Party 10 last year), Treehouse announcements (Project Giant Robot/Guard last year) and other types of announcements (Devil's Third via IGN last year).

Here's what will happen:

Presentation opens with Mr. Iwata and Reggie playing together Star Fox on Wii U. Although Mr. Iwata is at the Nintendo headquarters in Kyoto and Reggie at the NoA headquarters here in Redmond, they can play together thanks to the new Online-Multiplayer mode.
Mr. Miyamoto shows up to detail out his newest creation, which will be called StarFox: Supercharged. It's like traditional StarFox games with a new Online-Multiplayer mode and a local Vs. mode. The game will feature special gamepad integration and will make some sort of use of amiibo. More details on how amiibo works with the game will be given when its release is getting closer. Game will be released this winter.

Reggie welcomes all the fans to Nintendo's Digital Event.
He all also introduces players to a new dimension of gaming: Dual Gamepad Gaming.
Starting September 4th Wii U owners will be able to purchase a second Wii U Gamepad in stores. But this wont be only a Gamepad like you already have. It will be expanded with analog ZL/ZR triggers, a Nintendo DS/3DS Card Slot for playing NDS/3DS Games on Wii U, a high capacity battery and some additional power that will allow game devs to use the entire Wii U power for their games while using the Gamepad power for the second screen. This will also allow users to use the gamepad without having the console next to them for things like accessing the eshop or Miiverse and playing Virtual Console and some other smaller games. This new controller will be called Wii U Gamepad +. At the same time a new Wii U Pro Controller will also be released. It will feature analog ZL/ZR Buttons and a headphone slot.
The first game that will use two Wii U Gamepads at the same time will be that that was announced back at E3 2014 as Project Giant Robot and that will now be called Robot Wars. In its Multiplayer mode two players can fight against each other using two gamepads. The game now also features a singleplayer campaign, upgradeable robots as well as a huge amount of different multiplayer arenas. The Wii U Gamepad +, Robot Wars, a bundle including both, the Wii U Pro Controller + as well as new Wii U Bundles including a console and a Wii U Gamepad + will all launch September 4th.

Also at this day a software update for Splatoon will become available that will allow two players to play together in the Online-Multiplayer mode by using two Wii U gamepads. StarFox: Supercharged will also make usage of the two Wii U Gamepads functionality. Nintendo will release more games using this feature in the future.
