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

[Arcanir]

The sad thing is, I'm completely expecting them to not carry over certain features like the Dexnav and Soaring into the third version. Both of them were tied to Hoenn aspects, and considering their excuse for no customization was "it's a Kalos thing", I could see them do the same with those features and Hoenn.

 

[Geno Boost]

Final Month to vote. Who did you vote for?

Geno 6 times (I think i did more?) on different systems and different reasons. I try as much as I can to make Nintendo bring Geno back to life again.

Final Month to vote. Who did you vote for?

Viridi
Ridley
Wonder Red
Agnes Oblige

what can I say, I like no hope characters. Maybe I should throw in a vote for Dixie who at least has some semblance of a chance. . .

 

[Substitution]

Edit: Rephrasing it since I missed the point:

Here's a topic

Final Month to vote. Who did you vote for?

I voted for Pichu and a character from Sutte Hakkun (forgot the name though).
I've considered voting, but at this rate I both can't push myself to it, and I know it's going to be swamped with mindless generic requests.

Unfortunately this is what I expect to happen. Of course, if they want, they could allow certain Pokemon to soar but let's be honest, it isn't happening.

Rayman was my first pick. I voted for my other most wanted characters after that.

.... and a few more just because I could.

Just a reminder: If you're in a situation where you have something that you think merits sharing and you were the last one to post in this thread, it should be a significant gap in time between the last post and the time you'll be posting again (my rule of thumb is at least a day) if you're going to double post rather than just editing. Since that's pretty much never going to happen with the activity level in this thread, it's a good rule of thumb to always edit your posts. Accidents happen, but there's no need to purposely post again to bring attention to new information, because with the level of activity in this thread, somebody's going to come back and see the information you wanted to share whether or not it's in a brand-new post, as opposed to a less active thread where the thread may die off with nobody seeing the information if you don't bump it to the top and show there's a new post there.



I'd probably say that it's likely just because ORAS were remakes, but then again, Game Freak has a history of implementing features that fans have asked for forever only to remove them in the very next game inexplicably. Like having your Pokemon follow you.

Assuming we get a third version (or two sequels again grumble grumble), we'll probably see character customization in that because it'll still be Kalos, but since apparently you can't customize characters unless the region is based on France, I feel like Game Freak will dump the feature after that.

I hope they expand the feature in Z/X2Y2/whatever
More hair options
Being able to remove the hat
Special clothes from key characters
Crossdressing

 

[Substitution]

Though I wonder when we'll get to the point to where we can use our Miis as Trainers. That'd be neat.

I had originally voted for Zael from The Last Story on my laptop.

Earlier this summer, I did feel obligated to vote for Simon Belmont even though I think every Konami character has next to no chance at this point, and I did just that on my desktop to make sure that I wouldn't cancel out my previous vote.

Tails of course.

He doesn't have a shot but ah well, I'll be fine with whatever we get probably.

Yeah, me too. :/ I'm really upset, too, because those features are ones I really loved in ORAS. I mean, the whole concept of being able to actually physically fly around over the region is just really cool, but the fact that it eventually allows you to fly without needing a Pokemon to have the move is so useful. And DexNav makes catching Pokemon a lot more interesting, particularly as somebody who's been too lazy to bother with breeding Egg Moves except once. I feel like DexNav has a slight potential for return, at least in some capacity, but soaring is probably dead.

I honestly don't understand why Game Freak consistently does stuff like that, though. I guess the bright side is that it gives different games different positives even if they're outdated in other ways, like gen 2 (and its remakes) allowing you to travel in multiple regions, HGSS having the Pokemon following you, Emerald having the most fleshed-out Battle Frontier stuff, but as a rule games tend to accumulate more features, not toss away fan favorites for no reason. There's even stuff like battle start animations that were introduced in Crystal and then disappeared until Emerald. The only logic I can see for it is that removing features like that will make them a shiny incentive to buy a game if/when they bring them back.

I'd vote for Layton again but I don't really think it would effect much at this point....

Ah well. I'll see if I can at least make a Smash 4 style 3D model of him myself.....

Spoiler

At least I sort of have a reference to how he should be made.... Sort of....

theres a lot of options for me to point out (why no stantler or cottonee in kalos?)
- the battle frontier
battle maison can go in a fire

that about covers it

 

[AreJay25]

Another ballot related question: how much did you all end up writing for why they should be included?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Toad, Captain Toad (Just in case they consider him a separate character) Tails, Dixie Kong, K. Rool, and that's about it.

 

[Chandeelure]

I made... this...

Yes but we don't have much of October. I think it ends on the third.

Still, it's a long while away. So we have time.

I only voted 3 times total so yeah

I picked some really generic reasons though I'm not good writing stuff

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I just noticed that the ballot ends on the one year anniversary of the 3DS version's release in North America. Fitting, if I say so myself.

Not gonna lie, I phoned it in for some of them too.

My Wolf submission was basically "why the hell wasn't he in the initial roster, fix this sakurai".

Expanded Pokemon avaible in routes?
XY had a 450 Pokemon REGIONAL dex
Most Pokemon didn't even reappear in other areas unlike previous gens.
All areas had at least 5 different Pokemons

I just noticed that the ballot ends on the one year anniversary of the 3DS version's release in North America. Fitting, if I say so myself.

And it's October 3rd
3->three sides of a triangle
Illuminati confirmed

Same for me but hey, why the hell not? It wouldn't hurt to vote for him, even if he may not get in

 

[Burb]

"Gee its sure is boring around here."

We need big news.
I am tired of waiting.
is there is any chance that Nintendo will annonce something big at this week?
or at least a huge leak that looks very interesting?
i think people posts a lot of stupid leaks these days because they are tired of waiting Nintendo announce something big.

For Smash, I'm not expecting to hear anything until late September at the earliest. We're pretty much guaranteed something in October due to it being the end of the ballot.

Quite a few games are set to release over the next few months, with the Holiday season approaching and all, so we should be hearing more about those games next month.

I think we're in for a long drought until then.

Since we were talking about trainer customization

I mean, I doubt GF will allow Pokemon amiibo to be compatible with anything but it would still be cool

 

[epicmartin7]

To be honest, I've only voted in ballot one because I don't know who I would want to be in Smash .

Agreed. Also, I'm sure the passing of Iwata is going to slow down a lot of the direct stuff, since he was a huge part of that, they can't just randomly do a direct as if everything's back to normal. If they do a direct soon, I imagine a good part of it will be about his legacy.

How about an actual leak (but smash unrelated):

House exteriors in Splatoon design was datamined for Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer.

Just wait they'll probably remove the Pokemon Amiee feature in Gen 7, even though its a really fun and most fans do enjoy it. And come on bring the feature to rebattle old trainers we battled, having to constantly grind on wild Pokemon over and over again is annoying.

Actually there is probably a reason as to why Game Freak may actually not had battle start animations in Ruby and Sapphire. They were working on new hardware, and they did have to rebuild there engine from scratch, and they did do an over hall offf the IV and EV stats, so the battle animations were probably cut from the game for time.

And also give those 2 Kanto starters to your other rivals, plus if Z/X2Y has contest, can we please have a online mode, so that I can have a challenge in them?

I really wished they hadn't cut the triathlon contests, they really are fun asides to battling, plus it gives uses to Pokemon who may not be so great in battling.

You see, the thing about this is that the game apparently wasn't very good.

So this can go in a multitude of ways lol

Plus there are other game exploits like OOT 3D and some Ninja game. Both of which are pretty damn uncommon. Not rate but not uncommon

Thing is someone is gonna find another freemium game and exploit that. But all I know is that this is gonna be interesting for a few days

 

[DarkDedede]

Another ballot related question: how much did you all end up writing for why they should be included?

I didn't write anything creative. I doubt they're even going to bother reading them.

My guess is they hand pick a few, after the ballot picks are decided, and parade them around for marketing purposes.

Of course that's assuming they don't decide to do something crazy, and extend it the deadline.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I jumped the gun a little with the last month thing, it's 52 days to go. DC thinks they're so clever by referring to that stupid number everywhere.
