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

[Spazzy_D]

how many sonic levels don't have slopes

Slopes are pretty big elements in Mario games from SMB3 on.... They truly are the biggest ommision in the game.

 

[Fenriraga]

Here's a question.

Do you think we will get balance adjustments tomorrow?

I don't think we're even going to get a patch. They're probably just doing server maintenance for an hour then we're back to our regularly scheduled smashing. If there is a patch for one reason or another, then yeah, It's probably a given. And will be datamined to hell and back.

 

[Soul.]

I thought only versions with even numbers (1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.1.6, 1.1.8) were the ones to have balance patches.
I don't think we'll get a balance patch if a hypothetical 1.1.1 is released.

Sakurai wouldn't make that mistake again.

It's not Sakurai's mistake to make.

Here's something else we can discuss:

What would make you happier?

Let's say if there are going to be 4 characters.

WOULD YOU RATHER?

A: 2 veterans (Snake, Wolf just based on popularity + no technical issues. Though I guess Pichu could fit the bill.)
2 newcomers (ballot).

or

B: 4 newcomers (ballot).

Easily 4 newcomers.

Shovel Knight

Bandanna Dee

Wonder Red

Professor Layton

Dream Comes True!

I'd go with A personally. I love both Wolf and Snake, and the newcomers that I want are around two anyways.

Honestly, A is a better choice because of Wolf, though only 2 ballot characters would suck, it really depends on what newcomers would be added

GDI I saw someone say Japanese commercials are always better and the Kirby Triple Deluxe one that's the otherway around is impossible to find

the B and I will be honest, purely bias.

The way I work is I am neutral for literally EVERYONE, but paper mario. So, in the theory perspective, both for me is heavily dependent on is paper mario there or not. since I can;t know this, both are doing the same thing except that the later gives more chances.

That's literally why, but let me be honest because the real question is which one makes me happier......in the end, if A had paper mario, it would be the same.

It;s selfish, but what I can say? If wolf / snake is there good, I just won;t care that much .......it;s just that I am neutral.

Now, if were telling me that both did OR both did not have him, I would actually choose A.

I don't care as long as Rayman is a newcomer.

Speaking of Rayman, he officially turns 20 in one day and 30 minutes.

Don't you know that Sakurai does literally everything Smash related by himself? That includes putting all the files in the patches of course.

A.

I'm playing MGS3D.

I liked Snake and wanted him before but he's in my top three in requests now.

He butted out Wolf for me.

Granted, I want Wolf back too.

I'll miss Wolf, but the idea of 4 new characters is too exciting to pass up, even if I'm not keen on the ballot 'frontrunners.'

As much as it would be nice to have Wolf and Snake back, I'd prefer B. I'm more interested in what newcomers could bring to the table.

Sakurai: "You want Ridley? Fine. Here's Proto-Ridley."

"Now shut up and leave me alone."

EDIT BY PUSHDUSTIN: The image is too big. (I swear I'm not making a joke of Ridley, look at the new rules).
EDIT BY GOLDENYUIITUSIN: It was one of the smaller images I could find without being too small to where you could hardly see the beast and it's still too big? Here's a different image instead. The joke is ruined more by the use of spoiler brackets than the size of the image anyway.

I don't know why, But the edits really added an extra level of humour to the post

It depends. If one of those 2 newcomers I lose is Wonder Red or Dixie Kong than B.

But if those other 2 are characters I don't care too much about (Bandana dee/Krystal/ etc) than definitely A
Wolf is still meh but Snake was freaking amazing! Would love to see him come back.

EDIT clicked neither because it really depends on who I lose.

EDIT 2 oh . . .there were more options. NVM

Ice climbers
Snake
Wonder Red
Dixie

All I really want at this point is Wolf.

Snake's probably my second most wanted, so while he's not necessary, his presence makes it even more of a no brainer.

I say if you don't have a steadystream of information regarding a leak, you shouldn't leak it at all. Because now I'm just bored out of my mind waiting for something new to show...

I wish this Shovel Knight leak was like the ESRB leak, that was fun and exciting...

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

With so many odd things happening at once, I think something is going to happen tomorrow. As much as it sucks, I think we need to accept the fact that the era of Nintendo Directs is over, like Nintendo Power. Without Iwata, Nintendo Directs don't have a spearhead. Nobody comes close. Not Reggie, or Trinen, or even Miyamoto. It seems that Nintendo is going to be using social media to announce things over Direct info dumps. While disappointing and more unpredictable, it seems likelier, at least for the time being. Excite Maker seems like something that they would announce in a direct, and I think that we'll be getting a lot of info tomorrow, Smash info included.

Either that or Nintendo is just making a last second push for the Ballot seeing that it ends in a month.

Sorry that potential leakers who already risk losing their job by posting information that's covered by NDA's can't please you . As of right now, there is no additional information to report on.

There isn't any information to be steadily released unless we get pics/video. The information is out here so unless someone gets a camera out there really isn't anything POSSIBLE to come out.

If either veteran is Pichu or Squirtle, I'd imagine definitely A. There's not a ton of characters that I see as likely that I'd enjoy playing as much as them.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

I know I should be more patient, but I just really want either a Direct or some Smash news. NOT A RAYMAN MII COSTUME!!!

I'd post the song "Where Are Ü Now" if it wasn't sung by @J.B.

Ok I made a poll. Everyone can view the results too.

Ok, this was difficult for me to decide. I just chose what I personally would like to see so here's what I chose for A.

Veterans: Snake and Pichu were my choices. Snake is a no brainer, but Pichu is really just someone I randomly chose lol. I don't care for Wolf, and Ice Climbers aren't coming back this game, so I chose the character I would like to see with a change on his mechanic. That and I would like another character to the disrespect list. Gotta admit, he is pretty adorable.

Newcomers was VERY difficult, so I chose the ones I would most likely like move set wise and also what I would be truely excited for.

Newcomers: Paper Mario and Rayman were my choices. Paper Mario is a franchise I love, and I think his move set can be VERY unique. Too bad people can't look past him being a 3rd Mario, which I feel like people would like him more if he didn't look like Mario. Rayman I chose because I think he has enough star power, AND I like the Rayman games I've played. That and he could have a great move set.

Bias aside, For other newcomers, it would be King K. Rool and I'm not sure about the other. Veterans would be me replacing Pichu with Wolf.

I'm more confused on who Brian is.

Do they mean the dog from family guy? Some dude named Brian? Did they misspell Brain twice?

Actually, let's all vote for Mr. Saturn in the ballot. The moveset potential is real, with attacks like "boing!", "zoom!" and let's not forget "ding!"

Wolf coming back would be the best option for me here. Seeing how he is in my top 3.
But Snake coming back means that would mean 3 Brawl veterans have returned. Which would be equal to how many returned from Melee. Brawl being the one I grew up with I have a Bias towards it's Roster.
Two Ballot characters would be fine for me. And even if the two I want didn't get in. I would have two familiar characters back from Brawl.
