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

[Naoshi]

I actually like 3D Blast, but it does start to feel kinda mindless after a while.

Sonic 1 8bit and Triple Trouble are great. Sonic 2 8bit was terrible, Sonic Chaos was alright.

Amaterasu - No thanks. I think we have enough Capcom characters. And Okami wasn't a successful game, so it's gonna be kinda out of place with the third parties.

Agent J - Sure why not? Would be nice to have a rhythm Nintendo game represented. Don't see them happening since they're probably irrelevant by Nintendo's eyes by now, but still wouldn't complain. Rhythm Heaven seems to be a far safer choice though.

Agumon - ...Dunno. I don't feel they have any significance to Nintendo. I get the Pokemon VS Digimon thing, but that was about them, not Nintendo. That's just me though.

Heihachi - No. I think one fighter themed character is enough. Ryu is the poster boy of the fighting genre and I do agree with Sakurai on including fighting characters aren't generally interesting. He only managed to get Ryu to be interesting by including the elements from the traditional genre.

Jumpman - No. I'd rather have Paper Mario TBH.

Lara Croft - No. She's nearly on the same boat as Snake, except Snake had way more presence with Nintendo and he was only done out of favor. I don't see why Lara Croft should be in a Nintendo crossover game. She's more known by Sony gamers.

Monita - Indifferent. I'd rather her have a different role to be honest.

Micahiah - Indifferent. I would be fine with her inclusion, but I think we have enough FE characters for now. Plus the best time to include her was Brawl, but now that time has long passed.

Seriously there is room for 70 characters on the CSS without rescaling the boxes.

There's no such thing as "not enough space".

Well this is the weirdest list you put out so far

 

[AreJay25]

Well this is kinda interesting.

Wait, there was that much space left?

EDIT: Oh you just removed the names...

I seriously doubt they are going to go out of their way to do that, to be honest. I mean, it can work, but for some reason I can see them settling for the arrow.

4 name banners = 1 portrait
remove names another row can fit
i dont see them removing the names or moving the names on top of the portraits to make more room

Damn, look at all that DK representation!

Even then, using the arrow would make it hard to pick a character when you have more than one player.

I really don't know how they're going to handle this.

A slight rescaling might be the way to go, dunno if that'd look okay though.

Although as I said, removing names would be a good solution, but I do wonder if they really want to do that at all since it's already an established part of the CSS.

 

[SuperMii3D]

I guess you can say we expanded the roster

I believe the names and portraits are separate elements, so redoing the CSS without them shouldn't be much of an issue.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than myself can clear this up.

Get out.

MGSV apparently leaked.

Anything particularly exciting?

its not that, its that i don't see them wanting to ditch the names

sigh i have to blackout of the internet now

going to avoid MGSV spoilers

 

[Chrono.]

Nothing yet other than some retailers breaking the streetdate

But there's some reports going around that spoilers are already online, I haven't ran into them so I'm just warning ya guys.

 

[PushDustIn]

So here's the information we dug up on Brawl that @ Spazzy_D was teasing you guys about!

Why L cancelling was removed, who almost got cut and why Wolf over Krystal. Enjoy!

Also thanks for the 10,000 likes on Smashboards!

And happy 1 year anniversary for Source Gaming. Here's to another great year with our friends and fans. Couldn't do it without you guys.

 

[Parallel_Falchion]

I'm guessing we'll get 4 more DLC characters, but none third party, and only one will be a veteran (Wolf).

 

[Schnee117]

MGSV apparently leaked.

Welp. See you guys until after MGS V: TPP is out!
jk.

 

[A Distant Demon]

“Why isn’t Waddle Dee playable?”

There is a way to spin this very negatively and we both know deetractors will. . .

 

[egaddmario]

Sakurai: I’m not very good against Duon…and Porky, I think. Also, I don’t like Meta Ridley…there are a lot (laughs).

@ PushDustIn answering the true reason Ridley wasn't in Smash.

 

[Spazzy_D]

You guys ever wonder why Sakurai chose Wolf over Krystal? Wonder no more!

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/17/sakuraibrawlquestions/#more-1959

I had that queued up forever and didn't send it. Yay phone posting!

 

[A Distant Demon]

Also, I don’t like Meta Ridley

oh hey another thing to possibly misquote.

I am now happy battle damage was never included. Yeah it looks cool, but being put at a disadvantage for being in the lead is a horrible idea

 

[Chrono.]

The way Sakurai talks about Wolf there makes me think he's even less likely for DLC. Also part of me thinks the "equip damage" system would've been a mess but another part of me would've really liked to see it.

Seeing him call Brawl a "game of mistakes" is really hilarious in hindsight.

 

[AreJay25]

Sakurai: No, it’s not just you. This time, instead of focusing on “battle = to burn**,” I wanted to the game to focus on having an image of being able to fight freely, play freely, so I changed it up a little. Although in keeping with the previous theme, “Smash Dojo!!” initially had a fire motif as well. But I asked them “please make it a sky,” and so it changed.

Wonder what made him change his mind for Sm4sh...

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

He added Wolf over Krystal because he has good taste.

 

[Chandeelure]

There is a way to spin this very negatively and we both know deetractors will. . .

And it would be a terrible argument, so it doesn't matter.

 

[egaddmario]

Also, i'm home now and i promised you all a real life picture of me. Sorry for the huge picture! And, I really need a haircut, so ignore that. But, here we go...

[Spazzy_D]

Personally, I think it really increases Baby Peach's chances.

 

[AreJay25]

You gotta keep in mind that around Brawl, Bandanna Dee wasn't a major character. So what Sakurai said has little to no real bearing on him appearing in Sm4sh.

 

[Chrono.]

I went to the GFaqs MGSV boards and there's some topics with "leaks" in them.

I doubt any or all of them are real but since there's copies out there and there's legit spoilers online, I'd advise to stay away from there.

Actually just stay away from everything.

Trust no one.

Spoiler

not even no one

 

[Chandeelure]

Dry Bones > Dark Pit

Plus he wasn't saying "no Bandanna Waddle Dee period". He said Bandanna Waddle Dee didn't appear In Brawl, and that there is (some) reason for it. Just like any other character. Could be less favorable development, could be a lack of popularity. There's a lot more than just making it in/ not making it in. A lot of factors have to be considered.

 

[Curious Villager]

You sure he is referring to Bandana Dee and not a regular Waddle Dee? Bandana Dee didn't start getting prominence until Kirby's Return to Dream Land which if I recall correctly. Came after Brawl.

Unless people where supporting him before Brawl that I wasn't aware of.....

 

[Chandeelure]

Jigglypuff on the brink of being cut.

That makes me sad.

He said Waddle Dee.

Waddle Dee.
As in the generic mook. Just like how he said Dry Bones.

We didn't get "Bandana Waddle Dee" or "The Waddle Dee named 'Waddle Dee' in RtDL" until after Brawl's release.
Yes, he technically existed in Super Star as the first opponent in Megaton Punch, but he wasn't an actual character until Super Star Ultra's Revenge of the King mode, which didn't exist until after Brawl.

 

[AreJay25]

Yeah, Sakurai specifically meant the mook. Even then, I still see people who will use that as an argument against Bandanna Dee.

I fixed my post but my point still stands.

There's a lot more that goes into character choices. We need to stop simplifying the selection process as a community.

For the record, in Japanese when talking about the Dee they sometimes don't mention the bandana. The same thing happens in English. Bandana Dee is a version of Waddle Dee. But yes he says Waddle Dee.
