So much news ... Never played XC but I was still hyped when I saw the Shulk trailer even though it was leaked and spoiled!

did anyone share the Japanese introduction trailer yet?

TVCMs

also EU getting double pack ... NOA is so slow with info updates

There seemed to be a lot of Pac-Man gameplay in the commercials.

There seemed to be a lot of Pac-Man gameplay in the commercials.

I guess its to make up for the fact that Sakurai has barely talked about him

 

[TewnLeenk]

If that's the starter list, then here's our unlockables:

-ROB
-Mr Game and Watch
-Lucina
-Dr. Mario
-Dark Pit
-Bowser Jr
-Duck Hunt Dog
-Wario
-Jigglypuff
-Ganondorf
-Falco
-Ness

And maybe more.

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

Prediction Time: What was Chuggaconroy's reaction to this annoucement?

 

[ClubbyBear]

Now it's Shulk time, m8

 

[Brindor]

By this stage, im assuming we probably have two more reveal trailers left.

 

[RamOne]

I didn't really like his trailer, but that has absolutely everything to do with me having never played Xenoblade. It's great to see him in, though!

this apparently is on the Japanese E Shop page for Smash 3DS

I hope not. I don't like the ratio starter:unlockable by series.

 

[TJ-Works]

By this stage, Im assuming we probably have two more reveal trailers left.

If that were true, then Sakurai only has 2 weeks before the Japanese release (and 5 for Europe/NA), so he ain't got that long before everything is revealed and his trailers lose their hype.

I wonder if we'll actually get a second trailer during PAX. Feels unlikely, but I definitely don't think Shulk was the last trailer.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

So apparently, the new 3DS's second Circle Pad will act as a C-Stick / Smash Stick, just like the Gamecube controller.
I've skipped ahead in the video for all of you. If it's having problems, just skip to 19:37

HOLY **** is that a little baby circle pad?! Awwwww! Now I really need to get a new 3DS (I'm still OG with my launch one)... I'm going to use that C-stick to hell and back in the new Smash Bros.

Also, I'm more hyped heropon Riki shows up than I am with Shulk heh. Loving the fact that he's another vastly unique addition though, with his modes I mean.

 

[Kenith]

I think Shulk was the last newcomer reveal trailer.
But we'll see.

Prediction Time: What was Chuggaconroy's reaction to this annoucement?

He hasn't said anything about it on Twitter. I am literally checking his Twitter periodically to see how he reacts especially considering he doubt the leak.

@R.O.B. & @ Tangamanga

Ah, sorry for the wait. I had to switch laptops (the previous laptop I was using is crap. I ought to throw it out soon). So, I've created a manga list of what I think is good/realistic yaoi. "Realism" does vary from people. I mean, most manga that I listed are slice of life romances, so the relationships may not be 100% realistic (but what is in fictional works?), however, some are pretty close. Most of them don't have a stereotypical uke & seme role, and I'm sure I'm missing a lot some I forgot their names OTL, but you could always search for some more. Manga that are in bold are personally my fave and fit the bill more, but ones that aren't I may not have remembered quite well. And because I'm so nice, the manga have links to them.

So if you're not a fan of gay stuffz, don't read teh list!

[collapse=Teh List]
I didn't list anime, but there are a few BL anime that I'm fond of, like No. 6 (there's also manga adaptation). Oh, and that parody anime is called kachou no koi (plays up on the tropes and cliches in yaoi. It's raunchy and so bad that it's good. But that's why we love it ). I was debating whether to just post my manga list from MAL, but I wanted to cherry pick some things. So, the manga I've either read or it's ongoing:

Hana wa Saku ka (one of my fave manga of all time!! It's a slow developing romance. The age gap between the lovers is big, however, they're both mature and I hardly noticed because of this. I also recommend checking out the mangaka's other works)
Kinou Nani Tabeta? (another really good example. It's like, just the average life of two gay men)
Omairi Desu yo (idk... I like the story as both lovers are young and inexperianced. one guy's a bishounen, but it's not like he acts all girly)
Café Latte Rhapsody
Castle Mango (Uh, I don't remember much. Something about love hotels and porn stars... but it's not that explicit)
Doukyuusei (I also recommend checking out the prequel, sequel, and side story. Also other works done by the mangaka, Nakamura Asumiko. I personally love the surreal artstyle and it's mostly fluffy love)
Hana nomi zo Shiru (no one is stereotypical girly in this however, Takarai Rihito is known for making her characters look very bishounen... almost to the point that what's supposed to be adults look like young teenagers).
Hinatama (okay, it's not a yaoi, just filled with bromance)
Kanemochi-kun to Binbou-kun (also should look at the mangaka's other works)
Kizu darake no I Love You (I haven't seen this brought up in review before, but I'm preeetty sure this manga is parodying yaoi in general. It's a bunch of short stories, and some of the relationships seem over the top, almost like they're poking fun at such relationships)
Kokoro Kikai (check out the mangaka's other works as well)
Komukai-ke no Jijou (or The Komukai Household's Circumstances. THIS MANGA x100! I'd recommend this to anyone who's okay with homosexual pairings. The manga is really interesting because we go through the story from a child's perspective who grew up with gay parents. Unfortunately, it's short and I really wish they expanded on some things)
Kuimonodokoro Akira
Kurayami ni Strobe (also check out Hayakawa Nojiko's other works. Iirc, there's some homophobia going with one of the protag's friends)
New York New York (THIS x100!! One of the guy does looks kinda bishounen-ish, however, the manga portrays themes of death, HIV/AIDS, dangers of working in the policeforce, homophobia, discrimination... everything)
Nobara
Rakuen no Izumi (okay, not that realistic as there's fantasy and war themes, however, I thought it was interesting)
Running on Empty (Manhwa counts too?)
Sakura Gari (kinda has supernatural elements and there are many dark themes. Some of these themes may be heart-wrenching, however, it was very rewarding for me once I got to the end)
Sannin Gurashi
Seven Days (one of my first BL manga that I've read and a great example)
Sorenari ni Shinken Nan Desu (some cliches here and there, but overall a cute and heartwarming story about a guy raising a child)
Toukaidou Hisame: Kagerou (idk... not really yaoi, but there's some action that goes on, so why not)
YELLOW (also check out this manga. Another action comedy starring a cop duo!)
Yozora no Sumikko de
Yuuutsu na Asa (I love this manga. T_T There's a lot of political and social status themes going on, so the story could get confusing if you're not paying attention. But I love BL manga with interesting stories)

*pants*

Yep, I guess that's all I have

Thanks!


UGH UGH UGH

Whyyy, I just cash out to get a 3ds and a new improved one is announced -sobs-

 

[Aurane]

I'm gonna sell my 3DS and get that New 3DS. How much is the XL?

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

He hasn't said anything about it on Twitter. I am literally checking his Twitter periodically to see how he reacts especially considering he doubt the leak.

Considering his mentions of being sick, he is probably resting and is none the wiser of whats going on.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

So much news ... Never played XC but I was still hyped when I saw the Shulk trailer even though it was leaked and spoiled!

did anyone share the Japanese introduction trailer yet?

TVCMs

also EU getting double pack ... NOA is so slow with info updates

I noticed 21 seconds into the first TVCM you can see a shot of All Star Mode. Apparently characters are grouped by year they are introduced now.

 

[TJ-Works]

Yeh, same here. I actually like that. It'll make the matches more varied in characters each match, instead of "okay, I guess I have to beat the Zelda characters next, and now Sonic, etc."

 

[Substitution]

And we're getting another 3DS? Well Christ, guess I have to upgrade again. As long as I can keep my games, I'm fine.

 

[Backgammon]

This is what he's talking about. Good eye!

 

[TJ-Works]

Actually, no. They forgot to mention. Only NEW 3DS LL Version game can be played on the console. Sorry, you'll have to hang onto your old 3DS and shell out money.

Spoiler

 

[zack4812]

From the Google Money Converter, it's $180 USD (USA) and it's $196 CAD (Canada)

 

[Substitution]

Spoiler

I know that part, I mean all the digital games I have right now.
There's a crapton of them on my 3DS, and I'd love to bring them into the newer console.

 

[Muster]

This is what he's talking about. Good eye!

Wouldn't Ridley be here if he was playable? he did debut in metroid along with Samus.

Edit: the max is probably five, with extra characters appearing in the next round with the same year.

 

[FlappyFalco]

So those of us who cashed out on an XL for Smash are getting ****ed over again. Great.

At least mine's gold.

Other than that though, Shulk looks amazing, much better than in the leaked footage. Also they just had to complete the Australian image by having wear swimming trunks.

 

[Kenith]

Wouldn't Ridley be here if he was playable? he did debut in metroid along with Samus.
I guess that's just another point against him now.

It's missing a lot more than just Ridley, bro.
Just sayin'.

 

[Sil]

Wouldn't Ridley be here if he was playable? he did debut in metroid along with Samus.

I guess that's just another point against him now.

I guess Zamus, Sheik, and Ganondorf are disconfirmed...

This doesn't mean anything for Ridley.

 

[FlappyFalco]

Wouldn't Ridley be here if he was playable? he did debut in metroid along with Samus.

I guess that's just another point against him now.

Not really, it's probably in groups of five, Ridley would be in the next group.

 

[Muster]

It's missing a lot more than just Ridley, bro.
Just sayin'.

Who, exactly?
Edit Pit. I see.

I guess Zamus, Sheik, and Ganondorf are disconfirmed...

This doesn't mean anything for Ridley.

Seeing as how Samus is here as well as peach/bowser, I'd say it's character appearances and not series appearances. ZSS didn't appear until zero mission, Sheik and ganondorf didn't appear until OOT.

 

[Bedoop]

Here's hoping there's a NEW 2DS.
Me and my tiny hands...

 

[mimgrim]

I wonder how much I would get for trading in my 3DS. Because I know I'm going to want the New 3DS. Gah.

 

[Substitution]

Other than that though, Shulk looks amazing, much better than in the leaked footage. Also they just had to complete the Australian image by having wear swimming trunks.

I thought he was British.

 

[Aurane]

Man, this has been a good week. From Smash Bros to Pokkén, there's almost no way to make this week any better.

Unless Sakurai reveals Quote--- but you know.

 

[Kamikazek]

Who, exactly?
Edit Pit. I see.

Palutina(obviously) and R.O.B. are also in that timeframe.

Edit: And Ice Climbers if you don't want to assume they're cut.

 

[Substitution]

Though, since this newer 3DS is meant to be better than the normal 3DS, does this mean a possible chance of characters (like Ice Climbers and Lucas) returning?

 

[Networker1]

So uh, did we ever decide who the voice was at the end of the trailer? Sounded like Robotnik to me, but I've people say Metal Face... who I assume is from Xenoblade.

 

[Substitution]

It's Metal Face. He's one of the more major villains of Xenoblade.

 

[Kamikazek]

Don't see how it would effect Lucas, since there's nothing about Lucas that could conceivably give the 3DS trouble anyway.

 

[FlappyFalco]

I thought he was British.

But he looks Australian...

 

[JamesDNaux]

Well, there's Shulk. Now I want to main him solely for that accent...


I'm also in the group that seems to be giving the finger to Nintendo, I just got a 3DS XL as well...

Time to transfer my data back to the old 3DS, return the XL, and wait for this new model it seems...
The thing that makes me mad is that none of the saved data for my downloaded games transfer over, bleh.

 

[Substitution]

Don't see how it would effect Lucas, since there's nothing about Lucas that could conceivably give the 3DS trouble anyway.

What I'm getting at is the possibility of more roster space due to the better hardware. Which means that characters left out may have a second chance, like Lucas.

 

[Kenith]

What I'm getting at is the possibility of more roster space due to the better hardware. Which means that characters left out may have a second chance, like Lucas.

That would practically be the same thing as having the characters on Wii U but not 3DS.
Which is something Sakurai stated would not happen, ever.
