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

[Solfiner]

Red and black...

Ed Elric confirmed

I highly doubt this hints towards anything though, it pretty much never does.

Except for Pikachu's ears sticking out of his box that one time iirc.

 

[Kenith]

Speaking of Bloody Mary, I love your profile picture. Bloody Mary was one of my favorite characters in Wolf Among Us

Best post in this thread.
Also, if the red and black lines were hinting at anyone (they're not, it's just funny to joke about it) I would wager Excite Bike because it does look like tire treads and I think he would be a pre-ballot character.

As a Sorry about the Ice Climbers thing? BJ showed us that characters constantly on vehicles isn't impossible though.

 

[Tr1pleDee]

Guys, you're forgetting the most obvious red-and-black character ever!

Right, guys? Right?...

 

[Mikegamer0608]

If any of you guys are interested theirs a stream going on with Video game Awesome hosting with Koji Igarashi (Creator of Castlevania & Kickstarter of Bloodstained) http://www.twitch.tv/ffstv

 

[OurBraveHero]

We still doing Red and Black? Purse-owner rep confirmed.

But hey, at least Persona 5 confirmed at E3 now.

Excite Bike has more than enough merit on his own. Arguably Nintendo's most prominent "retro" character after Little Mac and Duck Hunt (unless I'm forgetting someone).
Excite Bike would definitely make up for Ice Climbers though.

 

[Solfiner]

Isaac counts as a retro character right guys?

Right?

Right?

 

[Nekoo]

The hype kill me . I can't wait for Lucas and maybe the annoncement of our boy and Ryu ..

 

[Kenith]

Right?

Right?

Well, the first "retro" character was added in Melee, which at the time was three generations ago (NES, SNES, and N64) and Isaac debuted two generations ago (Wii/DS, GCN/GBA) so...no, he would not.

 

[Solfiner]

I'm gonna feel so old when the Gamecube counts as retro, not to mention the Wii.

I'm meh on E3 altogether. The one thing that would have bothered me to watch E3 on Tuesday (...) is going to be shown off on Sunday right before he releases (literally) and outside of maybe a DKCR3/Diddy Kong Racing 2 announcement with Kremlings, nothing that would be a must buy for me stands a chance of happening (stuff like Mother 3 Virtual Console, F-Zero, a great Mega Man game). I'm going to skip watching E3 altogether and catch up whenever I feel like it. Still, because I feel like it, here's my prediction for E3 (Smash included):

Smash:
- Video on Lucas fighting (this will be the highlight of E3 for me)
- Ryu being announced
- Announcement of next wave of Amiibo
- Stage DLC revealed
- Details on Tournament Mode
- Details on Miiverse Stage

Nintendo's E3:
- Star Fox gets shown off
- Xenoblade X information
- Platinum shows off their new game for the Wii U
- Retro's new game gets announced (Either Donkey Kong or a new IP)

I have minimal expectations for E3. The funny part about this is that the Villager Amiibo getting restocked will be the best news for me that happens around E3. Now I can actually get one.

 

[Kenith]

I also have minimal expectations for E3...which is also why I'm very excited for it. Because E3 is, after all, where we get to see new games. And no company will do a better job at this than Nintendo, I guarantee it.
If Splatoon is any indication.

I fully agree. Keeping my expectations low so that my mind will be blown.

Super Squid Bros.

I'm sorry if the rest of the thread doesn't care but I think #InkAGame should be a thing.

Super Splat Bros.

 

[Kenith]

After a long series of mishaps I got Shovel Knight for 3DS this weekend and I've been playing it regularly.
I'm going to be a devil's advocate here: I am totally okay with Shovel Knight in Smash.
But only if he brings this song:

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

E3 is the best time of the year to be super pessimistic.

Because you are either right or pleasantly surprised

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

This should be the new thread title

 

[Kenith]

E3 is the best time of the year to be super pessimistic.

Doubly so if you care about games and also about Microsoft and Sony's conferences.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Why stop there. Just do what I do and become a full year pessimist. We have dental. and low expectations

 

[SuperMii3D]

E3 is the best time of the year to be super pessimistic.

Because you are either right or pleasantly surprised

Again, this is the optimistic side of being a pessimist. Irony much?

This much is true. Outside of Star Fox, Yoshi's Wooly World, and maybe King K. Rool as DLC, I have absolutely zero expectations for the video game industry at this point. It can do as it wants now. I have come to terms that there's a big difference between "OMG SO EXCITED!!!", "this looks cool", and especially "HYPE BECAUSE REASONS!!!" to me. I may get some in the middle, but I know I am likely not getting anything in the first category because my taste doesn't reflect what will sell. But the middle isn't enough for me to care and I've learned the hard way never to do the latter again.

Then again, my days as a modern gamer are coming to a close. Especially if you're seen all the games I've bought for the year (about 95% retro games).

 

[Solfiner]

I'm not pessimistic about games usually, I just keep my expectations low.

 

[Kenith]

I think you guys are mixing up the definitions of "pessimistic" and "neutral".
Having minimal exceptions just makes you neutral. Having negative expectations makes you pessimistic.
And we're Nintendo fans (I think) so we shouldn't have negative expectations.

Exactly. The reason why I had such a good reaction when Lucas was revealed was because I wasn't expecting anything that direct pretty much.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

I think this year's E3 nintendo wise is gonna be special.There's no way there giving us 2 heavy hitters(hyrule warriors 3ds and smash) so eariler if they weren't planning something big.

I mean they didnt plan to give us Hyrule warriors. that was supposed to e during e3 but was accidentally uploaded right?

lowering others expectations one post at a time.

That's the point.

Its a freaking paradox XD

I have had negative expectations of E3 ever since E3 2012.

Which made new game and DLC reveals that much more exciting

Oh yeah i forgot that was leak.Still think were getting something special than again i'm over optimistic about everything

 

[SuperMii3D]

I just want some Mario Kart 8 DLC. Thats not too much to ask for is it?

 

[Solfiner]

I've never had negative expectations when it comes to E3, and I've never been disappointed personally. Guess I'm easy to please or something.

But only if he brings this song:

I'm pretty sure a good amount of people aren't against Shovel Knight. More along the lines of fine with him, just not expecting him or have a character who they want more than Shovel Knight.
I mean, I'd be fine with Shovel Knight. All that matters to me is the moveset's unique potential/gauge. Appearance and personality aren't as important, but still nice depending on how different they are to the rest of the characters. And Shovel Knight appearance-wise is pretty different compared to the rest of the cast, he's got a unique weapon and he's got plenty of moveset potential. He's fine in my books.

E3 is the best time of the year to be super pessimistic.

Because you are either right or pleasantly surprised

Got to like being on that side. Thing is though is that I just cross my arms and wait patiently with a blank face on Nintendo Directs while with other conferences, I'm like that one guy in the front in the Nintendo Robot Chicken skit going "Great. Another zombie game."

[PLATINUM7]

I keep my epxectations for E3 super high. Because then I'm blown away even more when said expectations are always Smashed.
If E3 fails to meet my expectations, then life as we know it is over.

 

[Solfiner]

But then again I'm only interested in Nintendo really, and they always deliver in my book.

Ok, so the first two Fire Emblem games I'm assuming are supposed to be if, but what in the world is the third?

I think it's suppose to be the Aqua path.

The path where you don't side with any kingdoms I guess?
