Yeah and then they drown.I just looked up what a coconut crab is. They're giant. On a side note, they actually can survive in water, but only for an hour.

I saw it too, and man, that Tokyo Olympics preview was mind-blowingly awesome!Did anyone see what happened at the closing ceremony at the Rio 2016 Olympics?
I'm pretty sure Nintendo will be a huge sponsor for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
I can picture it:I saw it too, and man, that Tokyo Olympics preview was mind-blowingly awesome!
I'm pretty sure we'll see tons of references to video games and anime in the Olympic opening ceremony four years from now since both played an important role in shaping Japanese culture. I can already imagine multiple sports animes being referenced in some kind of video segment (perhaps one idea involving Haru from Free racing against Michael Phelps), or maybe the Japanese could use their hologram technology like they did with those Hatsune Miku concerts to bring Hatsune into the Olympics.
On that note, I can already imagine the Squid Sisters making a potential appearance in the opening ceremony. The technology used to make hologram Hatsune Miku was used to make holograms of Callie and Marie for those Splatoon live concerts.
I mean, imagine something like this in an Olympic stadium:
The whole world would finally get to hear the amazingness that is Calamari Inkantation.
I would also love to see Pokemon having a major appearance in the opening ceremony.
Yeah, it wasn't just Mario, Pacman, Doraemon, Hello Kitty also made appearance. How awesome if you notice they actually show "RIO" on the map and when Mario opens it fully, it's his name. They made a reference for Mario. Just awesome.I saw it too, and man, that Tokyo Olympics preview was mind-blowingly awesome!

>Creepy.Naturally. But they're based on the coconut crab which a) is creepy af b) also would drown if underwater.
They look creepy to me. Like bloody giant armoured tarantulas.We're already getting excited for Tokyo 2020, huh?
I wonder if their mascot will be anime-like too. Rio's mascot seemed very inspired from Adventure Time, after all.
Saw the trailer, dang. Captain Tsubasa, Doraemon and Mario. That was nothing short of amazing.
>Creepy.
They're pretty intelligent if they can carry coconuts with them up high, and drop them to break them open. That's a win for me.
The B ones do look better. It's just more colourful.Speaking of Tokyo 2020, I personally dislike the Tokyo 2020 logo. If you guys did not know, the first Tokyo 2020 logo got scrapped due to plagiarism. So they decide to get a new logo by public.
The original logo:
The theater's logo that claims the Tokyo 2020 logo plagiarize it's logo:
There were four candidate design, I like the B one.
The reason why I don't like the Tokyo 2020 logo it's because it doesn't really show the much of Japanese style. You can at least tell from the first logo (With that red circle that represents the Japan's flag). And with color blue for the entire logo it just feels... blue...
On other side note:
Pokemon GO came out here in Taiwan on August 6th, and my sister is playing it...my friends are playing it... I don't play it. Since my phone suck and I have not Internet on my phone.
Here's is the crowd made by Pokemon GO in my country:
The final logo wasn't chosen by the public, but by the committee....I was hoping that they could let the public vote for the final logo.The B ones do look better. It's just more colourful.
My favourite are the D ones, that said. The sun and flower motif is pretty.
I got a bold prediction. Whoever lights the torch in 2020 is going to be dressed as Mario.The final logo wasn't chosen by the public, but by the committee....I was hoping that they could let the public vote for the final logo.
If you just type Tokyo 2020 on Google, you can find many fan-made logos.
Which one is your favorite?
Wouldn't be great if the logo ended up being like this?
I think it's possible the Squid Sisters could make an appearance as long as Splatoon continues to be successful. I mean, Splatoon is already off to a good start. Aside from the live concerts and albums, Japan already has a ton of Splatoon merchandise. If the sequel and any future games are just as successful as the first, then I can imagine Splatoon becoming more recognized than it is now.Yeah, it wasn't just Mario, Pacman, Doraemon, Hello Kitty also made appearance. How awesome if you notice they actually show "RIO" on the map and when Mario opens it fully, it's his name. They made a reference for Mario. Just awesome.
Maybe, I mean Nintendo will sponsor Tokyo 2020 very much, and Mario and Sonic series will also be big too.
There are rumors saying that Miku might appear at the opening ceremony actually.
I think we will only see Mario when the time comes, I doubt Squid Sisters will appear… but who knows?
Your avatar is kinda iconic in this thread.I really need to get a new avatar. I have grown tired of this.
Then I had the most wonderful idea.
I did a google image search. Not very much results since it isn't very popular thing.
I found one that was quite perfect.
And it was too long... On days like these I really wish I was premium...
One thing that may be a problem is that Splatoon isn't as global as Hello Kitty, Mario, Doraemon and Pac-man.I think it's possible the Squid Sisters could make an appearance as long as Splatoon continues to be successful. I mean, Splatoon is already off to a good start. Aside from the live concerts and albums, Japan already has a ton of Splatoon merchandise. If the sequel and any future games are just as successful as the first, then I can imagine Splatoon becoming more recognized than it is now.
If there won't be Splatoon references in the Olympics, the only other Nintendo franchises I can see appearing are Link, Pikachu, or even Kirby. I think Sonic could also make an appearance... actually, that'd be pretty cool. We are bound to see another Mario and Sonic game in that year, and it'd be pretty cool with the actual Olympic opening ceremony acknowledges that game at some point.
Yeah, no doubt Nintendo will sponsor the next summer Olympics.
You do raise a good point. It'd probably be better to go with more mainstream icons that everyone would recognize even in parts of the world where Nintendo doesn't have branches.One thing that may be a problem is that Splatoon isn't as global as Hello Kitty, Mario, Doraemon and Pac-man.
Splatoon was a hit wherever Nintendo had branches, but Nintendo doesn't have branches in a huge chunk of Asia, all of Africa (and I think Latin America too.), so that might reduce its chances. Mario, Doraemon, Pac-Man and Pokémon, on the other hand are known even in these region despite Nintendo or other Japanese companies not having any presence there.
That might be something to consider. I didn't write this to bring Splatoon down, just something to think about. I'll be pretty happy to see the Squid Sisters there.
I don't think most people know who Hatsune Miku is outside of people who have an interest in Japanese online culture.You do raise a good point. It'd probably be better to go with more mainstream icons that everyone would recognize even in parts of the world where Nintendo doesn't have branches.
I guess I got excited about the Squid Sisters because I thought about what happened with Hatsune Miku, and I thought it'd be great to see them implement that hologram technology for the opening ceremony.
But that makes me wonder if Hatsune Miku is recognized worldwide similar to Doraemon or Pikachu. I'm pretty sure she isn't.

I'm on board for the most part, with a few exceptions:So it looks like we have a new Smash 4 tier list released today.
Thoughts?
Personally, I'm happy to see my two mains, Corrin and Greninja, ending up in high tier. I also use characters like Cloud and Ryu from time to time (mostly the former), and it's nice to both are still considered top tier. Then there's Lucario and Shulk who I both use less frequently these days, and I'm OK with both of their positions.
I disagree with Cloud's position for the fact that he suffers from a poor recovery if he's not in Limit Break mode. That's a rather serious weakness that can easily be exploited if he's careless.So it looks like we have a new Smash 4 tier list released today.
Thoughts?
I personally think there's too many S tiers and only a few A tiers. I would put Mario and Cloud down to the A tier.So it looks like we have a new Smash 4 tier list released today.

Those plebs at Tierra del Fuego need some Pokemanz to have all the American continent in red.I don't think most people know who Hatsune Miku is outside of people who have an interest in Japanese online culture.
Most will probably think of her as an anime character because of her design.
And Pokémon is the most global property Nintendo has.
Unplugging and resetting usually fixes most issues. That's odd.So uh...random topic, but how do you fix a Linksy router that just won't connect to most of your devices? It will connect to my laptop perfectly, but with my phone and Wii U, it just connects and disconnects at random intervals. It was funky eve since a brief power outage. Idk how to fix it, I tried unplugging the power from the router, resetting it...ugh.
Worked perfectly fine before. I'm tired of being cut off of Tinder and Smash Bros.
I forgot to colour it, and then though, ehh, doesn't matter. >_>Those plebs at Tierra del Fuego need some Pokemanz to have all the American continent in red.
The thread has been really inactive lately.It seem everytime I come here, there is nobody to talk to.
Not even a guest or a bot.
Do I always miss the time where people talk here? If yes, then it stink.
since it is beyond dead here, I'll strike up a topic
Godots theme is so hot
Probably school/work and the NintenZone/DR.The thread has been really inactive lately.
I wonder why...
