^I'm definitely in the camp that criticized FE Fates for the reintroduction of marriage and the children so I'm guilty on all counts.

I'm not that hyped for Fates anymore though, thanks to the pandering stuff. :ohwell:

Which looks like it's here to stay, unfortunately. At least Fates compensates with increased difficulty in Nohr.

I'd say it's a slight improvement from Awakening.

I don’t need this; I don’t need that, either,” some may say. To take an extreme point of view, everything aside from Free-for-All Mode is technically “unnecessary”: all the items, all the Final Smashes, all the stages aside from Final Destination. But if you were to take all of those extra features away, all you would be left with is a bare-bones, niche-market game. I think there are some people who actually want that sort of game. There’s something appealing about a minimalist approach. But I think it’s painfully obvious Smash Bros. is not being marketed toward that niche market.

Now will people stop asking for character specific nerfs and buffs? Will they realize there will never be a Melee 2.0?! Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z :troll:

Since this is fire Emblem related, @ PushDustIn PushDustIn do you mind if I or someone else posts this to the FE Subreddit?

It looks like a far superior game to Awakening, but overall, it's a little creepy. And I don't use that term often.

I think the problem was them thinking if dating sim additions were good then more must be better. Unfortunately that apparently includes pseudo-incest and...petting. That would be like inserting a baking minigame in a shooter game which works because it shows a more human side to the main charcter but then the sequel has those minigames everywhere to the point they're distracting.

Go ahead! I let people take karma for posting Source Gaming Stuff now. It should be big enough that other users should submit it if they find it interesting! I'm not going to spam reddit unless they don't pick up an interesting story in 3 days (they didn't like the interview I did with @ gameonion gameonion =[... but Smashboards did!)

Question, as I'm about to look into game sales; How reliable is VGChartz? Semi? Not at all?

I've heard alot of people have the opinions along the lines of Semi, but you should take that with a grain of salt XD :p


Also, I can't wait until there is a DLC leak that we call out to be fake because of some stupid mistake on the leaker's part and only for it to be confirmed a month later XD :p

I tried out the Youtube Replay upload feature and I think it works all right.


If nothing else it'll make testing for patch changes and providing video evidence easier for those of us without capture devices.

Sakurai sure likes making analogies to food

Japanese people are all foodies. They talk about fruits from certain prefectures as being the best in all of Japan and 70% of TV is just various programs associated with food (cooking, traveling and trying out different foods, trivia with food. Heck the drama and animes sometimes have whole episodes or at least a good chunk dedicated to food). I cant watch TV anymore because I hate food programs. But yeah if I tell anyone I've been to certain place in Japan everyone always asks me if I tried that place's speciality. It's like if America had some sort of Philly Cheese Steak like dish (in terms of being well known) for every city and state.

Japanese food is rated extremely well, and I do have to admit it's delicious. American Japanese food does not do it justice.

Edit: plus he did make Kirby, whose original story revolves around food. Maybe he's just a hungry dude.

Maybe Sakurai's just trying to stuff his piehole to keep the reverse aging at bay?

I gotta agree with Sakurai, if you don't like a certain feature in a game, DON'T USE IT, the game is in no way forcing you to use it and there are people that like it so complaining for it to be removed will get nowhere

I've been thinking about Sakurai's thoughts for the last 24 hours (the benefits of being able to read Japanese :p) and here's what I think:

Sakurai is basically lampooning fans who complain that not all the content is directed towards them. His analogy to the boxed lunch is interesting, but I don't really think it gets his point across all too well. He should have developed the beverage analogy a bit more, as that's more relevant and easier to understand IMO.

1. If the store sold one kind of beverage, then it would cater to a specific group of people and there is a lot more risk. Sakurai wants to be the convenience store that houses the grape soda, pepsi, water and beer so that everyone can be happy.

2. Sakurai is essentially telling customers who complain (mostly the beer drinkers) about the store is selling grade soda that those customers are missing a vital point -- some people like grape soda. And those customers wouldn't be in the store if it wasn't for Sakurai buying and stocking some grape soda. Since the beer drinkers don't care about grape soda, Sakurai is basically saying, 'just do us all a favor and ignore it'. If Sakurai isn't requiring the customer to purchase the beverage, then grape soda does the customer no harm.

3. However, there is a legitimate debate that by housing grape soda, the store is unable to stock up on wine or extra beer. Space and man hours are finite. The development team needs to decide in a lot of ways who their targeted customers are, and try to appease them. By stretching themselves thin, then a good service isn't really being offered...is it? This is the real debate, and something that Sakurai does not address in his column.

4. I've been thinking a lot about what Chris Panger said in the Part-Time Gamer podcast. Nintendo is trying to be a convenience store that will draw in a lot of people. The beer drinkers aren't the main targeted market, and the share of beer drinkers is actually lower than the grape soda drinkers. However, the beer drinkers are loud because they are drunk, have access to the Internet and are extremely passionate about their beverage of choice. Gape soda drinkers are fickle, and will try other beverages (if they have a cool promotion) and won't stay around. But there's a lot of them and real money is be had by capturing their interests -- even temporarily.

If it wasn't clear:

the beer drinkers = us; the hardcore crowd
grape soda/ other beverages = less hardcore crowd

Heh, I know some people I follow on Tumblr that are overreacting to "those" parts of Fates that were causing a lot of controversy there. All I know is that they're going to buy the game anyway, and if they don't don't like a certain part of the game, then don't go there, it's that simple.
