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

[Captain Fun]

It's funny how much can change in the span of a few days.

If this same question was asked a week ago, it would be completely one-sided in K. Rool's favor. Even moreso if it was asked back before the Mii costume was announced. I would've voted for K. Rool without a second thought, even post-Mii Costume.

Now it's neck and neck, and I actually voted for Shovel Knight.

Spoiler

I personally think K. Rool has better chances. No argument to it, just a gut feeling.

If there were only two characters left and they ended up being Wolf and Shovel Knight, happy or sad ?

Outraged that Wolf needed the Ballot, but happy he's back along with a new face that's cool

I'd take Wigglytuff as a clone of Jigglypuff!

Wolf is the biggest hole in the roster to me.

If we only got one more character and it was him, I'd be happy. In the scenario your post presents, SK would just be an extra to me.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Yooo, I'm back guys. What happened while I was away?

I voted for Etika, I just don't find him entertaining. I actually really like GameXPlain though, I think Andre, Derrick, and Ash are pretty cool guys.

Something in the middle, happy that Wolf is back, kinda sad that Shovel Knight was the only newcomer left.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Me and Shovel Knight got married, Burb adopted a kid with Ridley, Khoru died (I'm serious, ask Zoroarking) and Bluepikmin got arrested for looking at a librarian funny

 

[CroonerMike]

At least Gamexplain is real and not fake like Etika.

 

[NintenZ]

I've tried to tell Etika that it's a suggestion box, but I've given up.

TBH sad.I dont like wolf and dont care for shovel knight much.

IGN.Really dont get why gamexplain gets so much hate.They really do much wrong besides giving a couple of facts wrong and even we get facts wrong every once and awhile

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Etika wouldn't listen in his Awakening LP when everyone in the chat told him to block stairs. Then Tharja died because he didn't ****ing listen

I voted for Etika. Say what you want about GameXplain, but at least they try to make something out of it apart from "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG XD LOL!!!!!" rinsed and repeated over and over again. (And I don't really care for IGN.)

 

[True Blue Warrior]

A mix of both. I'd be happy that Wolf is back.

I'm so ****ing sorry for the potato quality pics

RIP @tehponycorn

I FINALLY get revenge(literal one even so, @ Luigi The President finishing it with a SE Revenge) on the same Absol that had already killed two Pokemon of mine in previous Nuzlockes
Then its trainer is like "nuh uh" and his Pinsir pulls Brick Break out of its ass
I'm fated to always lose someone to this ****ing asshole
The worst part is that I only have one area left before Korrina

Wow, he must really not like listening.

I'd probably say NeoGAF as least favorite "news site" after the original post. For the original poster, they tend to have fast news, but since it is a forum, and imo has questionable moderation ethic and community, and being a bit hard to not read others post with it being right next to the OP's news, just...yeah. lol

 

[NintenZ]

Oh, and he just read my post and misinterpreted it as, "Yeah, it's a suggestion box to see who can get the most votes in the poll."

 

[SkywardStriker16]

Wow, he must really not like listening.

He wasn't listening during the FNaF chat too, and it was REALLY annoying.
I should really stop being so harsh of GameXplain though, since IGN's clearly the most biased against Nintendo and that hurts...a lot.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wow, he must really not like listening.

He's also dumb as ****. You should have seen how Sukia died. He restarted it once because he lost 2 units and he felt it was unfair. ****ing scrub, when I first played Awakening, I learnt not to keep Sumia around those ****s

You okay?

 

[Soul.]

I think GameXplain is biased for the Wii U because they praise it more than the 3DS in general

Who the heck is Sukia?

 

[Senselessbreak]

I went from hoping the leak was fake, to perhaps it has something to it, to seems likely I guess, and now I'm starting to doubt it. A lot of coincidences, but a lot of speculation based on other things happening.

Why is YCG still campaigning for SK?
If it took a year to make the amiibo, surely it would have nothing to do with Smash.
If SK does get in Smash then we are to believe SK gets two amiibos?
Why is Push and Neo Zero only 75% confident? Whats behind the source we don't know?

Also the maintenance coming out soon, during PRIME time in the US. Usually the servers go down in the middle of the morning. The last time this happened, it was for an update.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Who the heck is Sukia?

Sukia is Japanese for Watermleon, a useful unit who trips over her heels despite not having feet

You okay?

It's painful for an FE fan to see such a large scrub

They reviewed W101. It flatout lied there, had contradicting footage and was given a poor rating. bleh

Yo I died??? :"(

Leaks from a credible source with the typical SmashBoards Leakbusters backing it, and K. Rool getting a Mii Costume that reeks of a consolation prize.

I just...I still can't even start to think SK's possibly more likely then K. Rool, but thanks.

Is there something that's especially unlikely about that?

Not gonna pretend I know the 'rules' of how many amiibo a character can have.

I can imagine, especially with Awakening being so piss-easy.

Maybe we'll start seeing stuff in the Smash Twitter in the next couple of days? That's how the last update was.

Storm Throw is a beatiful move blessed by the RNG Goddess herself

Speaking of all this biased stuff, I was shown the Guiness Book of World Records Gaming Edition recently, and you should've seen all thing things about Nintendo that they said.

 

[Luigi The President]

Yeah....why ARE push and Neo only 75 percent positive?

Don't even get me started. NeoGAF as a forum is just a cesspool.

I chose IGN though, because I still can't get their Dual destinies review out of my head. "Linear" IT'S A VISUAL NOVEL

I started with Awakening and I had a much better time, granted, I did casual mode, but I didn't recruite Gaius because I didn't know Chrom had to talk, I nearly killed Tharja like that too. She's the second recruitable character and she's good. But I hate her

I have the 2014 edition and don't recall any nasty Nintendo comments if that's what you're getting at

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Pretty sure it's to not put their eggs in one basket.

Just being safe.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm curious, does anyone else say something when doing something in Smash? I always do one of two things when I'm certain I'll get a tipper with Marth. I either yell MINNA MITEITE KURE or make a pun. 'I wanna POINT something out! You suck, may I give you a TIP?!'
