So did EA crash and burn?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Wasn't there a leak that said Koei Tecmo was credited on the title screen or something? Aren't they the ones behind Fatal Frame mostly with Nintendo just publishing?

 

[Pakky]

Board Game = Phantom Pain

SNAKE CONFIRMED!!1!11!!

More like Quiet who would be cool.

So did EA crash and burn?

Is Ridely big?

There I said the meme now I need a shower...ew

 

[Baskerville]

Everyone in this thread right now.

Only 3 days left people, just try to be patient.

Emphasis on the "try" part.

I think so. In fact, I believe the Wii U game had Hyrule Warriors Zelda's outfit as an unlockable. And the Zero Suit.

 

[Pokechu]

her moveset could revolve around ghosts and her ghost equipment.

like her specials could be her shooting a picture, her cycling between lenses for her camera (maybe one stuns, one does more damage, etc.), and shining her flashlight. her recovery could be a ghost lifting her up. smashes could just be more ghosts, picture taking, etc. idk, i read a moveset idea for her a while back, forgot where it was.

This one?
It's probably fake as heck too though lol.

That's the one, we already suspect this guy might be piggybacking off other leaks fake or not, so why not this one.

I pointed this out before, the Kojima incident wouldn't prevent Snake or any other Konami character from making it in. Shortly before Smash 4's release, right after the Kojima **** went down and tensions would be at their highest, in an interview he stated he wanted to see Snake in Smash 4 when asked about it, and asked if Sakurai was watching if he could bring back Snake. So even if Sakurai would possibly spite Konami and refuse to work with them, that's not going to be the case when he still has his friend's blessing to include his character in Smash.

You do know that Kojima is no longer with Konami. He doesn't have any rights to Snake, Simon, or any other Konami character anymore.

Well it does say "Konami" is credited. So yeah.

 

[Zeox]

Well doesnt Xenoblade kind off rhyme with Board Game?

Went through GFaqs top games and Warframe was the closest one.

Would make sense, since the guy asked for xenoblade characters.

 

[.Shìkì]

Bray Wyatt.

Spoiler

Indeed. Well done! :D

But anyway, it is kind of crazy that it is less than 3 days, and we still know zilch. Impressive. Most impressive. (Same rules as before apply).

 

[SchAlternate]

If Ridley gets in, Vergeben leak or not, I'm changing my pfp to this:

Warframe was the first thing I thought of.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I love how the fake leaks are really giving these games some really great stupid names.

Smash Bros. Setto

and Yoshi's Flipping Island.

If either ended up true I'd be cackling.

Like how is Nintendo go show up with those names with a straight face?

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

Board game, eh?

Well, seems like we'll need to wait a bit before it's proven.

 

[777Laser]

Board game and xeno blade rhyme a bit

Alright, so.

We get Ridley, but we have to sacrifice ZSS. Would you be willing to put that dagger in her bossum heart?

As much I'm interested in Ridley, I'm not interested enough to sacrifice ZSS I like her agile quick moveset. So no.

I know we've done all of this Pokémon junk to death, but I wanted to ask anyway since E3 is just three days away.

How would you rank the following Pokémon in terms of likelihood?

• Decidueye
• Incineroar
• Lycanroc
• Mimikyu
• Tapu Koko
• Buzzwole
• Eevee

From most likely to least likely, I'd say it's like this (Keep in mind that I'm using the anime and promotional material for this).

Spoiler

Lycanroc
Incineroar
Mimikyu
Decidueye
Buzzwole
Tapu Koko
Eevee

Lycanroc
Decidueye
Eevee*
Incineroar*
Tapu Koko
Mimikyu
Buzzwole

* = tie

In what vernacular do you guys even remotely hear any rhyming similarity between Boardgame and Xenoblade.

 

[Pakky]

If Rool gets in someone wake BKupa666 we're setting sail!

I'm questioning the Board game and Fatal Frame.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

Honestly, I have no idea how a fatal frame character could work, don't they literally just take pictures and that's it?

Though if Sakurai can work some magic I'm down for the idea, although as far as nintendo horror game protagonists go Alexandra Roivas from Eternal Darkness would be cool. It also helps that Yuri and Miu have great designs tbh, I'm down

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Game and Frame rhyme.

Xeno and Board do not.

Game and Blade do not.

 

[Zeox]

Game and Frame rhyme.

Xeno and Board do not.

Game and Blade do not.

Fatal and Board do not.
and yes, Game and Blade rhyme in the "a e".

 

[Arcadenik]

What rhymes with "board game"?

AR Games
Code Name S.T.E.A.M.
Fatal Frame
PictureBook Games Pop-Up Pursuit
Pokken Tournament
Shaberu! DS Oryouri NAVI

That's not how rhyming works.

There's also the fact that only two Fatal Frame games that were on Nintendo consoles were localized. Well, one was Japan only and the other was never released in North America.

 

[Cosmic77]

Are we seriously discussing how to rhyme with words? Is this what we've been reduced to?

 

[Kamikazek]

So here's something I've been thinking about; how would people feel about a strategy game mode?

I'm thinking you've got characters on a strategy game map with terrain, hazards, ect.. The characters are playable Smash characters, and they all have their own field skills and stats and whatnot, and can probably level up over the course of the match. All with a healthy dose of RNG of course. The Smash part (other than the characters and some mechanical specifics) would be that when you enter combat with another unit you can either auto resolve OR you can fight them in a single stock or short timed Smash match if you think that'd work out better for you. Game would probably have a 1 player campaign and also a party mode (think Advanced Wars).

What I'm thinking of is either something along the lines of Soul Caliber 3's Cornicles of the Sword if anyone remembers that (which was a real time strategy game) or way more likely something like Shaman King: Power of Spirits (which was basically Fire Emblem with a fighting game tacked on).

Now for the record I personally would not feel good about this. I've seen the idea tried several times before and it's never worked very well, and it'd be a big drain on dev time that could go to better places. That said I could see it happening. I'm guessing Sakurai is going to try at another mode that recontextualizes Smash gameplay like Smash Run, Smash Board, and even Subspace, because he's really big on tinkering and trying new things, and this just seems like the most obvious choice to me at the moment. It's an idea that I've seen tried several times before with other fighters, it fits in perfectly with the Smash characters are trophies aesthetic (they look like wargame miniatures. The classic mode maps already bring this to mind honestly), Fire Emblem was at the extreme apex of it's popularity and Sakurai was clearly spending a lot of time playing and thinking about those games when this game started development and this would borrow from that like Smash run borrows from Air Ride and Smash Board borrows from Mario Party/Fortune Street. Plus strategy games, like fighting games, are known as a good way to show off a very large ensemble cast. Like I don't think it's a good idea but I think it makes a lot of sense.

 

[Pakky]

Forgot about the rule my bad.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Honestly, I would be surprised if a Fatal Frame character got in over Ryu Hayabasa, he seems like the choice to choose for Koei Tecmo representation.

 

[Zeox]

That's not how rhyming works.

I'm pretty sure that is a type of rhyme... or at least it is in spanish, dunno if english works different.

 

[Nekoo]

>Everyone think he mean "Rythme" as like literally something sounding like it
>I'm just here hoping he's not meaning Board Game as like Mario Party and Daisy.

 

[Pokechu]

if this is daisy then honestly i'm excited, she makes more sense than half the characters on all the leaks we've seen and the outrage would be very entertaining.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

>Everyone think he mean "Rythme" as like literally something sounding like it
>I'm just here hoping he's not meaning Board Game as like Mario Party and Daisy.

What is Waluigi, crotch-chopped liver?

But yeah, this is one confusing hint, really.

 

[Arcadenik]

Ooohh!! What if it rhymes with "microgames"? Ashley?!

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

There's also the fact that only two Fatal Frame games that were on Nintendo consoles were localized. Well, one was Japan only and the other was never released in North America.

The last one was localized though, and that came out in like 2015, I think? I don't think getting a fatal frame character is out of the question tbh. How did that game sell anyway?

Honestly, I would be surprised if a Fatal Frame character got in over Ryu Hayabasa, he seems like the choice to choose for Koei Tecmo representation.

Fatal frame is first party tho, ninja gaiden isn't
