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

[Swamp Sensei]

But for real, I'm not really sure what the last 2 could be to be honest

1 has to be Magalor. Only one that fits.

2 is probably Tails.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Tails would be weird since Sonic isnt that popular in japan. Silver is actually popular over there though.

Maybe Smash is just diffrent thing there

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I think Push is still eating.

Sorry if I missed a reply. You can send me an angry message.

You are the winner! Congrats @ Swamp Sensei . The order is off.

Here's the tentative results. Enjoy!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I won something.

Yay!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I won something.

Yay!

Now you get a second PS4!

In all seriousness, I'm glad Bandana Dee seems to be one of the more popular choices

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Magnemite though?

Is he a joke choice?

 

[TheAnvil]

I want Articuno, damnit.

 

[Frostwraith]

Japan really seems to prefer veterans, huh?

Glad to see Wolf support. He's the only character I want for DLC now that Lucas and Mewtwo are in the game. Regardless, any other veterans would be great, especially Snake. Roy was a great surprise and I greatly enjoy the fact he has returned.

As for newcomers, I don't have any particular desire, so anyone is fine by me.

 

[PushDustIn]

Magnemite though?

It's most likely a joke. I just found out that Magnemite won a popularity contest or something (was ranked #2) for Yahoo Kids! I figured it out after I read some of his ballot votes.

Yup, Japan <3s veterans. Nothing new here.

So...

Any interesting things to note regarding F-Zero, Metroid, Mother, Kid Icarus, Zelda, Pikmin, Punch Out!! and Xenoblade?

EDIT: I just realized that the Magnemite thing explains the joke that Pokken pulled.

'Pokken 2, now without Libre!'
Japan: DAMMIT WESTERN FOLK WE LIKED HER!
I wouldn't be surprised if Dark Pit getting cut would make him the most requested character in Japan

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I really wish she were at least not the hype announcement of the Wii U getting a confirmed release. If not Hawlucha how about using something that's not just a different version of the mascot character?

I don't mind her really, it's just like using Doctor Mario to hype Smash Brothers. Sure he's a nice thought but it really should have been some one else if Wii U version is getting more Pokemon.

 

[PushDustIn]

EDIT: I just realized that the Magnemite thing explains the joke that Pokken pulled.

I'm tracking ~250 characters. All of those series have an additional representation that is somewhat wanted. Top 20? No. I listed all those. Top 50? Dunban, Riki, Black Shadow, Ridley, Viridi, Toon Ganon, Midna, Everyone else isn't really worth mentioning unless they somehow shoot up in my data.

 

[Frostwraith]

If you hate a character so much, you can always use them as a training dummy.

If Dark Pit is cut, I'll campaign for his return myself. >:)

Though I wonder if he would actually be cut considering he's very easy to implement, given he hardly has any changes from Pit. Same for Lucina. They were going to be costumes anyway and Wario still has his classic outfit available (granted, he has less colors).

If Dark Pit comes back, they beter give him a new ****ing moveset! Dark Pit is the definition of wasted potential, all because he was going to be an alt. I'd personally want a moveset which focuses on the Claws

Didn't Wario lose a costume that referenced Wario Land?

His Wario Land 3 overalls.

You realize that would have taken more development time? Dark Pit wasn't even meant to be a character. Just a costume for Pit.

Not like he's out of character as he currently is. He uses the Silver Bow like most of his appearances in KIU, as well as the Dark Pit Staff for the Final Smash.

Other weapon types he could use, Pit could do as well. I could see them replacing Dark Pit's Guardian Orbitars with some other weapon for differentiation, though.

Didn't Wario lose a costume that referenced Wario Land?

You mean the white and black one that resembles a sailor's outfit?

I'm not sure why people call that a reference to Wario Land. In the WL games, all his official artwork show him in the yellow and purple outfit. Recent games also have him wear those colors.

People are just seeing similarities between that color scheme and his sprite in the GBC Wario Land games. I don't think it's a reference, but a coincidence.

There is one key difference: the sprite has black overalls and white shirt. The costume actually has navy blue overalls and adds some yellow stripes to the hat and resembles more a sailor's outfit rather than being a straight up reference to the WL sprite.

I know he only took about a week to make or something. My complaint was because Sakurai originally wanted him as an alt with character promotion being very late in development, Dark Pit was made into a clone despite there being so much Uprising could work with
Dark Pit is supposed to be Pit's negative side but enhanced, he's not cheery, his jokes are moreso insulting snarks, etc. Hell, the only reason they team up is because Dark Pit will die if Pit dies
Uprising has so many weapons that I'm surprised that Pit's customs don't involve the other weapon classes. I REALLY want Claws.

I didn't outright say it was a reference to Wario Land, I asked because I was uncertain.


TLDR: Dark Pit should be given a different moveset next time, preferably with Claws. We don't need another Ganondorf situation

Spoiler

He's missing: white buttons (overalls), yellow brim (hat), black shoes.
In the Brawl version: red lines are added to the gloves (instead of black), and the black overalls was changed to blue.

You might be right, it might not be a reference to Wario Land 3. That's a lot to mess up for Sakurai.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

If Dark Pit and Lucina do come back, I hope they get Luigified.

Or at least Docified.

Dark Pit is pretty easy to come up with new moves for.

The ideas I had for a new Marth clone were actually used by Roy.

So I got nothing.

How make Lucina more unique? Only thing I can think of is a new Aether.

Her Spin Attack from a cutscene in Awakening and her other skills, others have used her Great Lord class as an example, giving her a shield and lances

Like I said, anything Dark Pit can do, Pit could do as well. His only signature weapons are the Silver Bow and the Dark Pit Staff, which makes his current Smash depiction very in-character.

You're just saying that you want Dark Pit to use claws because you want claws. I don't think I want to be arguing with someone as biased as you're being.

I didn't outright say it was a reference to Wario Land, I asked because I was uncertain.

I gave an explanation on what I think it's a misconception regarding a certain costume he has in Brawl. Nothing more.

You do realize Sakurai has a policy of keeping veterans mostly the same throughout the series, don't you? If Dark Pit returns, expect him not to be too different from now. I could see him having a new special move, but I still think he's going to be a full clone.

It makes more sense for Dark Pit to be a clone of Pit than Ganondorf being a Falcon clone, anyway, but even so there's a perfectly legitimate reason why Ganondorf ended up being the way he is in Smash.

Pit and Dark Pit fight exactly the same in KIU. The gameplay is solely determined by the weapons in use.

Speaking of Ganondorf, I am actually doing research on him and doing an article for SG. Without going in detail, there's a lot more thought put into him than people give credit due to his semi-clone status.

There are some details that do not quite match with the sprite.

Sakurai pays a lot of attention to details, something I do as well, so I don't think that costume was meant to be a Wario Land 3 reference.

I said I'd prefer Claws, if he uses the Dark Pit Staff as his main weapon, no complaints
Moot because I'm not disagreeing
I know he does. That's why I'm unhappy with a character I like
Doesn't mean it isn't bull****
Which is why Pit could use some weapon clases that Dark Pit doesn't and vice versa
Relax Alax showed his Ftilt and Flame Choke weren't entirely made up, so I'm curious

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Bye Roger Smith. You got me in a **** load of trouble as a persona.

Time to be just me. Just the regular dude under the alien skin and the bright wigs.

Don't worry just me is pretty similar anyways. You know....just minus wigs and being an alien.

The end of a Rog-era.

Ok guys I'm home! I'm going to eat real quick and then finish the post. Let's say you have 30 minutes for your final guesses.

The two unknown characters have appeared!

Now it's just a matter of putting your guesses in order!

Magikarp. Yes I'm dead serious. I just woke so

Spoiler

And he can fly if you use Action Replay

It was Slowpoke was it. I'm a slowpoke.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The end of a Rog-era.

Magikarp. Yes I'm dead serious. I just woke so

I remember making a joke moveset for Magikarp, some parts were serious, other parts were based on an image of a muscular Karp
CLOSE YOUR DAMN SPOILERS

Clones to pad out the roster.

Relax Alax showed his Ftilt and Flame Choke weren't entirely made up, so I'm curious

Again, I have an eye for details. And there are a lot of small details in Ganondorf's moveset which tell that Sakurai and his team actually did a sizable amount research on Ganondorf.

It's true there are still a lot of moves copied from Falcon and the whole moveset is still quite derived from Falcon, hence why he's still classified as a semi-clone. Regardless, there's a lot more to Ganondorf's moveset (in Brawl and Smash 4) than it meets the eye.

Of course, it is still a WIP, so please wait patiently.

I honestly hope the clones don't get changed to have completelt unique movesets
If anything, do what they did to Roy, change move animations to better match them and change 2-3 moves
Change Dark Pit's Neutral B to the Dark Pit Staff(you can barelly aim the arrows anyway), give him Brawl's Pit Up-B(since thanks to Pandora's powers, he can fly better and the old up b didn't leave him in a helpless state).
Lucina should get her "Aether" from the cutscene agaisnt Chrom and change her FS to literally anything else(Roy still got "Critical Hit" but it works differently)

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Heeyyy, thought I'd pop in and see if you guys were discussing this yet...

Shovel Knight Smash amiibo listed for sale with picture on a foreign site... but they're clearly using ArtsyOmni's work as both the packaging and the figure itself.

...for some reason, the site's not letting me upload pictures right now, so I'll try again later. I do have a screenshot saved in case this link stops working soon (which I suspect it will)

Don't bother, we already did and it was debunked my the company themselves.

Cool, I'd have been surprised if you hadn't... wonder why it's still on their site though?

I can't keep up with this thread, I'll be honest. I look away for a few minutes and there's half a page to read. There's no way to keep it in my alert box after I ignore it, and then I forget.

MAGOLOR?!

I knew it! I knew Kirby was really popular in Japan and that Magolor's popularity is underrated here!
Every time I say Magolor is popular in Japan people say that I'm biased.

My two most wanted are popular requests in Japan! Yay!

 

[IceBreakerXY]

@ PushDustIn didn't really expect geno,banjo or bayonetta to be so popular in the west.Those always seemed liked those charaters were more liked in east.Wolf, k rool and waddle dee being popular in the west isn't all that surprising same goes for krystal and paper mario.Kinda sad to see daisy not top 20 atleast the moment.Anyway nice going push i await the offical results
