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

[Champ Gold]

Tbh, I wish I was on here more often at the time of the ESRB leak...

That leak caused so much chaos at the time.

I wonder if we will get anything like that in the pre-release stages of Smash 5 XD

Well either release characters the same way or just start dumping multiple character reveals at multiple occasions and save the newcomers for stuff like E3, Tokyo Game Show, Gamescon and other stuff like that.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Wait, today is the one year anniversary of the leak? Holy crap!

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Two more days, actually.

inb4 we get a big DLC leak and a bunch of characters and stages get leaked to celebrate the annivarsary of ESRB

 

[epicmartin7]

I can't wait to see the many fake leaks that'll appear on that day . It's bound to happen sooner or later...

 

[Chrono.]

I bet that day is gonna be even more uneventful than it usually is nowadays.

Inb4 Nintendo Direct announced on the anniversary of the leaks.

 

[AreJay25]

At this point, I would not be surprised if someone has a legitimate leak right now, but they're waiting to release it in two days. lol

I find it quite funny that the majority of votes that go into these strawpoles are probably from people that aren't signed up and are just guests on the site. #MindBlown

Voted for Earthbound Beginnings and DKC2.

Good luck if you decide to play the former though. The chances of getting random encounters are quite high

Xenoblade. Now you're gonna tell me that you've already played Xenoblade. My answer to that is shut up and play it again.

Swamp, Radiant Dawn is nothing compared to Tharcia 776, and by the way if you do Radiant you need to play on hard mode, or your not a true hardcore gamer. Also this game is going to break you down into a sniffling pile of tears and regret, only to build you up and then break you all over again. Also you need to have Path of Radiance and play through it twice to get the whole story of the game and characters.

So after you've played Radiant Dawn be sure to play Tharcia 776 for a real challenge.

Edit: Also I voted for Radiant Dawn, you will know my pain of constantly having Michiah killed because of A.I bull**** in Radiant Dawn.

Ryu had pretty bare demand for the most part.
He's certain popular within his franchise, but from my time with pre-Smash 4 speculation, he's barely mentioned.

People wanted Megaman more then him, and they thought they could only get one Capcom rep. Add that to the "no fighting game characters" rule and people pretty much thought he was impossible. No reason to talk about the impossible.

 

[Dravidian]

I guess they just wanted to be consistent since Pit's current design is his Uprising look.


Maybe he would've been more popular if that "no fighting game characters" misquote wasn't around.

When you think about it, that issue only arose because of a language barrier. As such, I doubt japanese fans misinterpreted him so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Japanese fans actually did demand Ryu.

 

[CroonerMike]

I don't know what this talk about Megaman and Ryu is. We all know who was the one wanted the most. Sora

The comment originated from an England-based publication, GamesTM. As such the "no fighting game" character quote might have been translated INTO Japanese (out of context), but I'm still investigating if it was well known enough to have affected ballot votes.

>Radiant Dawn isn't that hard.
>AI bull**** doesn't kill Micaiah, your bad positioning does.
>Hard mode needs to be unlocked.
>Thracia is a fake challenge; that is, its challenge comes from bs mechanics like fatigue and forcing capture to be used for resources.

Eww, no.

ESRB Leak was intense, I still remember that. I got so caught up in all the hype, getting Shulk confirmed was the best part about it though.

Shulk and Duck Hunt Duo were the biggest surprises. Honestly, I don't think anyone expected Duck Hunt to be playable, maybe at least an assist trophy. Great surprise though.

Huh. I was under the impression that the magazine misquoted him (perhaps language barrier wasn't the right term), but it seems due to the formatting of the interview....I didnt realize that. Good to know.

Shulk wasn't all that much of a surprise. I spent a while searching through the pits of GameFAQs to find this, but here's a small analysis I wrote up on Shulk back in about July last year.

Have you played Radiant Dawn on hard mode? It will break you.
And no it isn't because of my positioning, it's because Michaih can't take a hit for ****
Also Anna abandoned me in Radiant Dawn and the RNG kept screwing me, how could you forsake me lady Anna?
Just because you didn't like the mechanics in Tharcia 776 doesn't mean it was fake challenge, having those mechanics there are supposed to make you think more strategically, which is what your supposed to do in a Strategy RPG.

But if your positioning was good, Micaiah wouldn't need to take a hit...

 

[Swamp Sensei]

But if you didn't play the game... No one would get hit.

 

[Substitution]

But if you didn't play the game... No one would get hit.

But then the game would win. And thus us, the player, would get hit.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Cant wait to play my Mario levels as green Blooper

 

[Starlight_Lily]

But if your positioning was good, Micaiah wouldn't need to take a hit...

Michiah is your lord you need to get her to level cause she's going to need levels cause she''s mandatory for most chapters. And I'll say the RNG can screw you, the amount of times Michiah would've been fine if she had just hit her target T_T

So Splatoon did have a mario X Splatoon Crossover that everyone wanted

 

[Deleted member]

I'm curious to see 8-bit Shulk in Mario Maker.

 

[Chrono.]

Where are all of these coming from anyway?

I the pride...

We all know 8 bit Wolf is the best.

People's imagination.

I saw that Swamp hasn't played FE7. I am disappoint
Also that Fates had everyone's age raised to 18. I'm curious how heavily censored it'll get

This doesn't even work when anime does it.

That's actually a common practice in most censorship of Eastern Media.

One of the first scenes is literally Corrin running into Camilla's boobs in a first person view

Hey Swamp, can I suggest a game for you to play? I've got some interesting and obscure picks.

If I can actually get them. Go ahead. Let's see what you say.
