....and how this was necessary to be said?

cause it doesn't tell much....

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So I just watched some of the Palutena's Guidance things and I think in Smash 5 when Viridi is playable, she will be Ganon's worst Matchup.

After all, she has spent years studying Ganon Canon

So, what's up?

 

[powerprotoman]

so i was not prepaired for the level of feels that episode 25 of yokai watch would deliver

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Blue's excitement makes me happy and wants to get into Yokai Watch myself.

 

[Naoshi]

Youkai Watch looks honestly pretty neat, I wanna check that out.

 

[Solfiner]

The Yokai designs are adorable.

 

[Chrono.]

I didn't expect After Burner II to be THIS unforgiving

I blame AB Climax for actually having a health bar.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Here's the final one, Bushinyan, one of the very first legendary Yokai met in the game. A master of the sword skills and an ancestor of Jibanyan.

so i was not prepaired for the level of feels that episode 25 of yokai watch would deliver

The story behind Jibanyan?
Yeah, that's probably the first time a wide-stream phenomenon actually made me tear a bit.

So, do you guys think it's possible that we'll get a direct this week?

 

[aldelaro5]

So, do you guys think it's possible that we'll get a direct this week?

it is.....but I hope not because I am going to new york and I would have to watch on an ipad instead of my hdtv

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So, do you guys think it's possible that we'll get a direct this week?

When are directs usually announced? Two days before?

 

[epicmartin7]

When are directs usually announced? Two days before?

I believe it's usually one day before. I think I remember the April Fools Direct being announced on 31st of March. They could potentially announce it at anytime, but one day before is probably a safe guess.

 

[aldelaro5]

I believe it's usually one day before. I think I remember the April Fools Direct being announced on 31st of March. They could potentially announce it at anytime, but one day before is probably a safe guess.

they also usually announce it at around early afternoon so 12 to 15 usually.

Meaning that don;t expect one tomorrow

 

[Spazzy_D]

I don't think Nintendo will do a Direct the same week as Gamescom. It would be better to wait and have all eyes on them.

 

[epicmartin7]

I don't think Nintendo will do a Direct the same week as Gamescom. It would be better to wait and have all eyes on them.

That would be kind of cool if Nintendo were to do a Direct live straight from Gamescom. I doubt it would happen, but it would just be neat seeing everything not scripted XD.

 

[aldelaro5]

I don't think Nintendo will do a Direct the same week as Gamescom. It would be better to wait and have all eyes on them.

btw, what exactly they are doing at gamescom?

like do they show stuff or something?

 

[DoodleDuck97]

I might have just found the most thing to do in GTA V.
I got a Custom Tow Truck. And I now have Trevor towing me around the Map.
The greatest thing in the world.
@ BluePikmin11
That's some Nice Yokai Watch stuff you have there Blue. Kinda makes me want to play it when it comes out :D
Also it's great to see so excited about the stuff

 

[CroonerMike]

There needs to be some kind of moderation for the Miiverse stage, it's starting to get ridiculous. Duck Hunt was in a match I just played, and one of his supporting posts featured a penis. G&W was also there, and one of his swore (just "hell," so no big deal really, but this is a kid's game).

The "this character sucks" stuff was getting old already, but this is just bad. Smash shouldn't be a game that you can't play around kids. I really hate the Smash community sometimes.

Personally, I find the entire stage hilarious and fun.

One of my favorite scenes in the anime:

 

[FinalStarmen]

Konami, huh?

I remember back in 2000, when I was just a child barely in elementary school, a friend gave me his Nintendo 64 and a game with it, the historically forgotten Goemon's Great Adventure (Mystical Ninja 2 in Japan). I am forever within a debt I will never repay, because this was responsible for not only one of my favorite childhood experiences, but also my introduction into video games and Japanese culture. As you may know, Konami created the Ganbare Goemon series, and the N64 titles were among the last before the series died off. Goemon's Great Adventure remains one of my favorite games to this day, that will never change.

There was this side-quest involving a female ninja who had this part-time job of answering problems over the phone, and she had to calm down a child who was afraid of thunderstorms. (You can also listen to the theme song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9guZkQGwg&list=PL64237591B8E34EE6&index=54)
During the conversation, the female ninja mentions how one could become a video-game designer, and even gives instructions on how to eventually apply for Konami. As a child who has yet to experience the hardships of life, I was excited. Even though I didn't fully understand at the time, Konami was the primary cause for not only my first ever video game I ever played, but also the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game craze of the early 2000's (seriously, I was a part of the experience - my first card was Pot of Greed) and later the Castlevania series when I was in senior year of high school. Hell, I'm located right next to Konami's base of operations in the United States. All these great memories I will never forget; I owe everything to Konami. Everything.

What happened to you, Konami? That child who grew up into adulthood, that child who wanted to become a video-game designer and apply for Konami, would ask this question well over a decade later. It's like in Ocarina of Time when Link traveled seven years into the future, and found the Hyrule Marketplace in a desolate and destructive ruin, of despair and despondency. Goemon is dead, Castlevania is a rotting corpse, the Yu-Gi-Oh meta game is too complicated for me lol, and the corrupted, money-grubbing, corporate ******** that are the Konami higher-ups have taken those childhoods dreams, crucified them, and left them to bake under the harsh sun of reality. Not only do they disrespect their own video-game legacies, but also those who have tirelessly worked on them (blood, sweat, and tears for those who want cliches). Capcom is no longer the go-to company to bash and criticize because of this - it's Konami, and for completely justified reasons. I feel terrible for whoever has to work for them under these bad conditions. I don't even know if I should even buy Metal Gear Solid V because of Konami's poor conduct toward Kojima.

I will always cherish these video-game memories, but now there is a certain kind of sadness to it, like remembering something that was once great but being reminded that it no longer is. I've grown up now.

One of my favorite scenes in the anime:

Where have I seen that ghost before.

Oh that's right now I remember.
Bwwaaaa Bwhaaaaa.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

How many episodes of the anime is there?

It's not one of those ''I got behind for 5 episodes and now they're 300 more to catch up on" situations is it.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

Found a guy claiming he datamined the 3DS PAL version and finding new sound clips, I'm calling fake on this one what's your guys take.

 

[BluePikmin11]

About 80 right now, none are wasted filler. 55 of those episodes are subbed right now. Each episode covers 1-2 different Yokai for people to learn about each one. It's a pretty interesting, addicting anime in general.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

That sounds nothing like Xander. Lol.

 

[Chrono.]

I just remembered that one fake leak where the guy claimed he was Xander but he didn't even spell his name right. lol

Anyways yeah, fake as hell.

Not bad, wish they were all subbed though.

the voices does feel unnatural though....

Though, what did he do to get the filename?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Also why would you pick Chrom to fake?

Chrom's deader than the pretty much any other popular character at the moment.

He's pretty much hanging with Ridley.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

No idea, I just think its fake like Arxareth pointed out that announcer sounds nothing like Xander.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Not bad, wish they were all subbed though.

The one who subs them doesn't upload a new one each week, I heard it takes 2 weeks for them to finish subbing an episode.

Nintendo has a game library where employees can check out games for all systems in order to be well-versed in gaming. He played Bioshock Infinite that way. - Chris Pranger.


Noice.

don;t see why you omitted that part:

Sakurai kills himself for his games and is very sensitive to fan feedback
From a similar article: http://www.gonintendo.com/stories/2...-member-on-nintendo-being-open-voice-work-loc

 

[DoodleDuck97]

If Chrom becomes playable after everything he's got going against him.
Mii Costume.
Part for Victory screens and Final Smash.
Part of a guidance.
Already two other characters from the same game in his series which has a wide vast for characters to begin with.
And not only having someone else from Fire Emblem being DLC.
And the most important canon reason:
Being Falcon Punched clean of the roster. Hyes.
Well I honestly will give him major props. You could call me impressed.

Uhh.... because I did?

No reason lol

 

[Tree Gelbman]

The salt would be ocean levels if Chrom were DLC.

I think if any FE character got picked for DLC at this point the salt would be artery clogging.

I think it would bring a whole new meaning to his catchphrase.

"Anything can change!"

 

[DoodleDuck97]

I think it would bring to meaning his catchphrase.

"Anything can change!"

He's DLC Quote should totally be his Final Smash voice clip.
We're Not Done Yet.
It would send people through the Roof for more than one reason.
