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

[Deleted member]

Remember guys, being a costume/accessory doesn't kill you if its shown first.

a. Just headgear, not a costume.
b. For a veteran no one had any reason to believe would not make the cut.
c. Used for a gag that involved the near immediate reveal of said veteran.

Not the same situation. At all.

 

[epicmartin7]

Wait, if Sakurai is bringing back the stages that were found in the data dumps...

WE IN FOR A TREAT BOYZ

I'd actually like to see Hanenbow.

 

[Schnee117]

*looks at announcements*

Seems like Nintendo and Sakurai don't want me to buy anything from them.

 

[DMurr]

If you guys really want K. Rool as a playable character, buy the costume and show them through sales that he really is popular. Maybe they're using this as a gauge to see if the ballot results line up with actual popularity.

 

[powerprotoman]

so people on reddit are banking on a gamescom reveal

 

[Frostwraith]

Yeah, I think the K. Rool stuff is getting overboard.

This is pretty much the first acknowledgement of K. Rool's popularity through official means.

 

[epicmartin7]

When is gamescom?
EDIT: Just looked it up, it's going on right now.
EDIT2: I misread it and I'm an idiot. Thank you @ Schnee117 !

No need to be a downer, just trying to keep people's spirits up is all.

Though I do wonder if point C. could happen again lol

 

[Schnee117]

Starts next Thursday for everyone and lasts until the Sunday.
So the 6th until the 9th.

*coughs up blood*

Sakurai is dead to me.

 

[Deleted member]

Welp, even if it's just a stretch and is logic of a man in denial, it could very well be that we get his "brother" Kaptain K. Rool instead.

 

[Frostwraith]

I find it interesting how the color scheme of the costume resembles the classic colors more.

The belly is actually golden, the skin is more of a dry green.

 

[SkywardStriker16]

I'm honestly just hoping for the best here. And if this actually does deconfirm him, I now have reason to believe that Banjo and Kazooie have a better shot of making it…
…well, maybe not…
Still expecting Sakurai to release another character out of the blue on Friday. Looks like they won't have a choice!

 

[Lucimar]

At least one thing good came out of this. If K. Rool does become playable, it's practically confirmed they'll be using his klassic and in my opinion, better design.

 

[powerprotoman]

this is all i can think of when i see the chrom mii

Only if it's in Zero Suit Samus fashion.

"And here is the costume for King K. Rool, Donkey Kong's arch-nemesis. We've taken great care to recreate his classic appearance from the Donkey Kong Country days for this costume. I hope you enjo-"

Someone should photoshop that head into the DK show

Spoiler

like so

 

[Frostwraith]

Is there going to be a Direct/stream for this upcoming DLC?

 

[PushDustIn]

Doesnt look like. reddit always has false hope.

They said they were going to reveal more costumes tomorrow. Wouldn't make sense to spoil half the reveal already. Im betting that's all we are getting (Maybe the Dr. Mario stage too?)

 

[Champ Gold]

Watch how everyone blames Fire Emblem for this.

And Mario
And Kirby
And Kid Icarus
And Zelda
And Pokemon

And everyone else except for Metroid, they are always the victim.

 

[SkywardStriker16]

*coughs up blood*

Sakurai is dead to me.

Anyone else notice, this is the same Mii from one of the Smash Directs

 

[domokl]

I'm half expecting " we have decided to make all of the top picks mii costumes as they are easier to make". People would get salty as all hell.

 

[gameonion]

This development has been insane. Who would have expected a Dr. Mario-Stage? Really, what's the reason?

Anyways, I'm excited.

 

[MasterofMonster]

@ SkywardStriker16
That makes me curious. Did you actually remember what that Mii looked like, or did you accidentally see that Mii again after seeing the Krool costume?
Yes, that is totally not a pointless quwstion.

--

Totally unrelated... I just saw the most adorable Yaoi gif, and thought "What the hell, how did I miss this awesome anime?!" then I look it up and it is just a random scene from a non-Yaoi anime, and I'm all like "Aww..."

 

[RamOne]

Well, datamining has found a scrapped Dr. Mario stage, so it wasn't that farfetched to expect it. Although we don't know if it's real or not yet.

 

[Pokechu]

Ouch. Sad kremlings for days.

This is certainly K Rool to do.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

The Same Direct where he trolled us with Zero Suit. If I remember correctly.
It's a conspiracy I Tell Ya.

Ooh yes, I remember that joke. I almost cried when he did that.

That Mii sure is very good at Bragging Rights.

 

[egaddmario]

SO! First, congrats to @ PushDustIn and @ Frostwraith for becoming mods (again in Frost's case). I knew your name looked familiar Push (My friend speed runs that game, just never clicked with me until you explained it).

Doc stage looks legit- there's too many pictures that no one's found any errors with. I'm excited to see what it could mean for Rhythm Heaven.

In the same vein, Great Bay 3DS stage leak looks pretty legit too.

K. Rool as a costume is suffering. I'm hoping Nintendo's using it to see how well it sells to gauge his popularity.

Chrom as a costume is fine though- it's more than what I thought he was going to get.

EDIT: I knew something good happened when i logged on and the thread jumped 16 pages.

 

[SlickWylde]

Wow.
I think most of you know, I've never complained or been salty about any characters, right?
And I'm not salty now. But in my opinion (not based on fact, just my gut feeling) K Rool isn't getting in. And I'm bummed. He was literally the only newcomer that I really wanted. I'm sure whoever is added will be great, but I really started to think he had a good chance. :'(

 

[powerprotoman]

know what im going to make a prediciton we will see ice climbers mii costumes tomorrow

 

[Lucimar]

If the Great Bay leak is real, does that mean Tingle gets swapped out for Alfonzo if Assist Trophies are switched on?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

One for each gender!

The hat already exists after all:

 

[epicmartin7]

Poor K. Rool...

 

[Kenith]

I'm surprised this is an unpopular opinion, but King K. Rool isn't disconfirmed. At all. Like Inklings, this is simply an acknowledgement of the character's existing popularity.
Unlike Inklings, however, is anyone seriously going to get this creep confused with the King?
