Just saw this tweet by Harada talking about Tekken, but let's keep this in mind for Smash at the VGAs

 

[Dyllybirdy]

She's awesome, just not as awesome as the whole series

Granted, some are better than others, but they're all cool in their own way.

I guess so...

My favourite Zelda game though, is definitely...

Spoiler

Zelda Barcode Battler, of course!

 

[Bionichute]

Is this some bootleg Devil May Cry battle theme?

its the theme for a raid boss in an mmorpg

 

[Opossum]

There were unofficial claims that predated the official hints.

Good old Project Screwdriver.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

My dumb *** keeps thinking that this is a hint towards something, but I should know better that it's just that they really didn't have that many rivals and stuff.

It's just a Splatoon thing. So... I highly doubt it means anything at all.

Still a neat thing to play with, since there's tons of themed battles people have done since the original 64 title.

 

[Bionichute]

so do we have any info on if the new ctr is a remake or a new game

Damn, Harada-San just threw a truth bomb on us.

 

[Luminario]

I dunno, the other 2 are jazz songs, a genre that fits way better with Bayo's smooth assuredness and graceful cadence. Admittedly this puts me at a bit of a loss as to what I'd like to hear since most of my favourite jazz songs are instrumentals (Moanin', In a Silent Way, Bumble Boogie etc.) but I think its a direction that deserves to be kept.

Calling it now, it's gonna be Somewhere over the Rainbow.

Dammit, I love this man.

 

[ES. Dinah]

Alright. Time for the obligatory "why I think my character has a chance to be in as DLC" post.

I'll keep this relatively short and simple:

- Xenoblade Chronicles X is only represented through Spirits. No music, no stages, no characters (3 things the Fighters Pass promises to bring).
- Rex's current situation is very... weird. I still consider it as a deconfirmation. You may think otherwise. The fact he singled out Rex is still interesting to note.
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has... a lot of representation compared to X. More spirits, more music, Mii costumes... it seems really weird that a game from the end of 2017 is getting more attention than the game that was most relevant when the roster was finalized (December 2015).
- That really only leaves KOS-MOS as a potential Xeno rep, but she is a 3rd party character. So... take that as you will.

Simply put: If we're getting a Xeno rep, it's most likely going to Elma.
Now whether or not you think we're getting a 2nd Xeno rep is up to you.
But this is my case... put simply.

The fact that KOS-MOS RE is getting a scale figure soon from Max factory and good smile (previous makers of figurines of her) is also really a point you should address since the only other characters to get a figure are Pyra and Mythra. My reasoning is that KOS-MOS RE is a completely new KOS-MOS and she will be marketed more often. Other than that I have to agree

I know it's just a figurine but KOS-MOS has had tons.... which means her new design will be popular!

 

[Luigifan18]

Wait Bayonetta has made it a habit not to just do vocal battle themes but use actual songs in the first level. First one had Fly Me To The Moon, second one had Moon River and is this one going to get a Gaga song? I vote Bad Romance even if it doesn't fit Bayo's character

I dunno, the other 2 are jazz songs, a genre that fits way better with Bayo's smooth assuredness and graceful cadence. Admittedly this puts me at a bit of a loss as to what I'd like to hear since most of my favourite jazz songs are instrumentals (Moanin', In a Silent Way, Bumble Boogie etc.) but I think its a direction that deserves to be kept.

I heard a theory that the song is going to be "Bad Moon Rising". Admittedly, this theory cropped up before Lady Gaga's involvement was known about.

 

[ZaneHitsurugi]

Damn, Harada-San just threw a truth bomb on us.

Not really a truth bomb.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

in unrelated news, creator of God of War doesnt like Resetera, thats fun lol

 

[Captain Shwampy]

no one should like them tbh

Oh, that's very cool!

I really want it now, though...

Yo, how did I miss this?? Xeno2 getting four figures sounds like a lie.
Too bad I'm still salty at GSC and MF for not making a BotW Link figma...

I dunno if you guys saw it, but I said earlier that I figured it would be blueberry hill, because it fit with the other two a lot better.

^this is possibly my favorite version

 

[T3Z3R1]

Wait, is that true? That's first time that I heard some game developer hate the resetera

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

I'm confused as to why Harada is bothered right now. I mean, from what I can tell reception to the recent Tekken announcement has been pretty positive.

 

[N3ON]

Wait, is that true? That's first time that I heard some game developer hate the resetera

Shoulda seen the response when NeoGAF burned to the ground.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

When it comes to Zelda figures, I really wish that F4F would make a statue, of Mipha (or, of any other BOTW character, really ),...

 

[KMDP]

I guess so...

My favourite Zelda game though, is definitely...

Spoiler

Zelda Barcode Battler, of course!

My sister and I had Barcode Battlers when we were kids.

They were surprisingly fun for what they were.

 

[KarneraMythos]

Who the heck is Ryce?

This person named Ryce,
An insider with advice,
Who got things right twice,
Telling us to think trice!

This person named Ryce,
Who is living in ice.
Is he pulling a vice or is he actually nice?
A head full of lice or perhaps owns two mice?

This person named Ryce,
Does this Ryce man eat rice?
Or dabs them in spice?
Does he actually know or rolling a dice?

 

[SvartWolf]

I don't think Harada's Twitter is a serious one... he sounds like he is imitating some wise man's saying

Namco why don't you announce 2B's relsase date better? ._.

 

[fxd001]

That splatfest thing is fake news. Nintendo already announced the next splatfest a while ago. Family VS Friends on January 4th. And it's a global splatfest so there isn't any possibility of the Smash one only being in one region or something.

Please ignore me, I'm just an idiot who checked several splatoon related sites and didn't see any mention of a new splatfest announcement, but didn't think to also check NoA's twitter before commenting. Just laugh at me and move on with your lives, nothing to see here.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Harada famously gets tired of the community's ********. He's the one that wore the "Don't ask me for ****" shirt.

He kids and trolls around all the time but it's also believable that online attitudes get him annoyed.

 

[FreeFox]

Have any new rumors emerged while I was away?

And is Noipoi back? Is he here to help us get the 9000 pages?

 

[KarneraMythos]

Yo, how did I miss this?? Xeno2 getting four figures sounds like a lie.
Too bad I'm still salty at GSC and MF for not making a BotW Link figma...

Hold the **** up, four? I know of Pyra and Mythra, and KOS-MOS, but...

Oh right, Siren. Duh.

 

[Zinith]

Have any new rumors emerged while I was away?

And is Noipoi back? Is he here to help us get the 9000 pages?

He said he wouldn't be back until he finished World of Light so he wouldn't get spoiled...

Fake news... Tweeted by the official Splatoon Twitter account as part of a thread where they also put their countdown image...

No it's not, it was tweeted by Nintendo Versus, that's an official account.

 

[DraginHikari]

And a DQ rep is only really important to Japan.

I'm pretty sure Western Dragon Quest fans care...

SAY HIS NAME

SAY HIS NAME

SEPHIROT

You know as a big FFXIV player I've been so tempted to make that references for ages now lol

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Wait, is that true? That's first time that I heard some game developer hate the resetera

he made a whole video on them pff

No it's not, it was tweeted by Nintendo Versus, that's an official account.

I always thought that was a fake account because I didnt see the check mark

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Less then 24 hours to go until VGA. Give or take what are all your final bets we may get our first DLC character?

"You should change your negative attitude toward life OR I don't announcement anything anymore. You can choose."

Dammit, I love this man.

To be fair this is the same guy who thought removing the color black from character customization was a good idea instead of fixing a certain costume piece that was causing issue and who is now selling a season pass full of wanted vets after saying they would never charge fans for those vets.

 

[Idon]

Harada is a strange man. He's got a "I don't care/I immensely care" attitude.

But he's a strange man that got Akuma and Geese in the same game, so I'm cool.

 

[CallMeKnux]

Less then 24 hours to go until VGA. Give or take what are all your final bets we may get our first DLC character?

Prime 4/Trilogy and Bayonetta are all I'm expecting us to get. If we do get a Smash reveal tho I think it'll either be Sylux or the Square rep.

 

[Robertman2]

Charging for the vets likely wasn't his choice
