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

[Geno Boost]

He appeared in some mediocre games near the end of his life cycle, then a few projects were cancelled and the dev team was laid off. Crash was reduced to mobile games and then he died off and faded into obscurity. I'm not holding out hope for a new, good Crash game at all.

Is this better than what happend to Banjo or worse?

November 21st is a Saturday
As far as I know games don't release on a Saturday.

X&Y were released on a Saturday

Yeah. I was thinking that some Pokemon games release on weekends, but I wasn't sure.

Banjo disappeared and then came back another syatem with a game that has essentially ben disowned by the fanbase (as much as i like the game) qnd the series died but is now getting a spiritual sucessor.

Crash went from developer to developer with worse and worse games up until and including some horrible games with mutants.

Personally, i think crash had it worse because he used to be so big but just kept being dragged through thd mud unlike vanjo which wad quick. His name has been tarnished and was disowned by their creators, naughty dog*. i see no succesor in the future either

I already mentioned this in the tournament thread in the general section.

But it is basically who has dealt the most damage, done the most hits.
Which is why a lot of people are playing very campy and spamming a lot. Yesterday my partner had a match were he got up 170% in his first stock, ko'ed the other player at 70%. On the second stock he had 0% while the other player had around 50% and he lost. Because the other player, who was a Toon Link spamming arrows, got more hits in/dealt more damage.

So the problem is, that this system totally encourages a defensive spamming style. And completely punishes characters that have a hard time dealing with them, or worse, heavy characters that survive long.

It's no wonder you see so many Links and Toon Links in tournament mode.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. This is exactly what I thought (and feared). Tournament mode is a joke, hopefully they can fix it.

I think the fakest part of that leak is no character in august. I find that unlikely.

Wait, if you are Nana... which one is the man..? And aren't you siblings but sometimes lovers and sometimes rivals and sometimes cousins?

What is you?!

*citation needed

Yeah, it was Naughty Dog who created Crash under a three-game contract (with Crash Team Racing being a side project) with his actual owner, Universal Interactive, while Sony published and marketed the series. Naughty Dog's desire to work with Sony directly is what made them decide to move on from the Crash series in favor of Jak and Daxter.

On the subject of the aforementioned cancelled games, they actually looked interesting compared to the lackluster games he appeared in beforehand.

I actually sorta liked Crash of the Titans. I didn't dare to play Mind over Mutant though.

And why is that?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'd buy this for DLC

 

[Con0rrrr]

Any "leak"/news report about their being ballot "results" is childish and idiotic in my eyes.

It's not a contest. It's a suggestion box. They're not gonna reveal any "results" if that's what you even want to call it so that when over half the top voted characters inevitably don't get chosen, they won't give the fans something to whine about.

Imagine if they came on and said "The top 5 characters are Ridley, King K Rool, Banjo Kazooie, Shovel Knight, and Wolf! We'll reveal next week!" Then they choose Wolf. People will moan and cry. They're not gonna do that.

It isn't a survey or a poll. Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing these so called "early results".

 

[Naoshi]

I don't think we'll get any character in August

I'd love to be wrong though. But it's really sounding more and more likely that the ballot characters are next in line and that won't be for a while.

Nailed it.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Who did we get last year in terms of reveals?
If my research is right.
Clearly we are getting Krool because of the Meta Knight Mask theory.
And Isaac because more swordsman yay

Spoiler

Making fun of my top two choices. And yes I am joking but we seriously need a new direct.

 

[epicmartin7]

To me, them revealing a character in August is much more likely due to the possible Direct that may be happening. Now them actually releasing a character in August is vastly different and we'll most likely get more DLC is September.

ok maybe seeing my 2nd game ever getting a sequel from. . .them. . .after how good the 1st two were would have been uber dissapointing lol.

For me a direct altogether is unlikely on august.

Uhm, besides a 20 minute Smash direct, we literally have not had a direct this entire summer. It's happening.

Does the E3 digital event not count?

It's alright, it just some things are a bit too far.

And I can fix that.

Please remove the picture from your posts.

Done and done.

 

[Luigi The President]

Fixed.

Um, what, when was this?

No. That was on a whole different level than a direct.

Are those supposed to be Splatoon Amiibo (girl, boy, squid) in FE form?

 

[SlickWylde]

Just played the "new" old stages! I don't remember being able to grab on the moving platform in the SSB64 version of Peach's Castle. Am I right? You can grab onto its ledge now.

Yeah I believe that wasn't possible in the first game if I recall correctly.

I think they even made a tip about that.

 

[Chrono.]

No. That was on a whole different level than a direct.

It was pretty much the same thing under a different label.

They showcased some games and their plans for the year via 50-minute stream and called it a day.

No. 50 minute long Direct isn't a Direct. It's a BIG THING.

I guess you can count it but it was VERY early summer.

Also, Mario Maker direct was a direct exclusively for Mario Maker. We haven't had any more than 1 game centric directs this summer.

Impressively enough, it's just fan-art from some 15-year-old girl (at least, I think it's a girl).

However, I do feel bad for her, since she's getting so many compliments she's actually getting physically sick from embarrassment. I hope she feels better.

 

[Naoshi]

I can see a Direct not happening for a while due to recent events TBQH

 

[TheAnvil]

Yeah I think Iwata's death means there won't be a direct for a while.

 

[Luigi The President]

I think they will still do a Direct, but dedicate a good part of it all to remembering Iwata.

Maybe they'll make a 20-minute video after the Direct about Iwata and what he did?

 

[Curious Villager]

Iwata was quite a memorable part of the Directs if I do say so myself.

The next one certainly won't be the same.....

 

[SlickWylde]

I'm gonna try to play online (see if it works this time) if anyone wants to play with me.

 

[Chrono.]

Perhaps a small Smash presentation is a bit more likely but I'm not sure either.

Though in light of recent events they might just keep doing announcements via Twitter for now.

Her art is fantastic. It looks near spot on it had me fooled at first. I especially love the Shulk one she did.
And this, this Is just so clever that I want it to be real.
