Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[FalKoopa]

The first thing that came to my mind was
"Social Thread 5: Feel Hurt_ne Edition"

 

[ChikoLad]

Congrats! Your prize is picking the new thread title.

Oh. Well, uuuhhhh...

"We Must Embrace Pain and Burn It As Fuel For Our Journey."

That sounds good.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

So let me get this straight, you play the role of a shogun that controls a giant magical pinball to bowl over armies and giant human heads with spider legs?

I don't know what stuff the Odama team was one when they made that game. And people say Rhythm Heaven is the weirdest Nintendo IP.

Perhaps being too weird and Japanese is one of the reasons why the game flopped.

That or pinball doesn't work well with consoles.

Just like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

I know, I know, "too soon".

Meh, Cubivore has you eat people and become stronger and ****. If Switch gets GC VC somehow I'll gladly play both

Just watched last night's Samurai Jack. Holy ****! Best episode so far!

Spoiler: Episode XCVII

Such an awesome nostalgia trip (though I was somewhat not a fan how past Jack was drawn). Demongo was the most unexpected character as I thought Aku ended him. Great to see Scaramouche too. Finally, the Jack scene was one of the most eye opening things I've seen.

Though I was shocked at the amount of mature content. The softcore nudity, "damn", and most shocking was "penis".

 

[A Distant Demon]

Let the record state that "everyone looks good in a suit" also applies to people who are ugly as sin like I am.


I look goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood



Also the speaker said the US only has 15 states and pronounced american samoa as "American Samo" lol

 

[Metal Shop X]

I just looked the Switch Speculation thread to see what peoples were talking,
And now, I'm having another Vietnam flashback.
God damnit Smash speculation, I remember why I hate you.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

I wonder how the people who spotted the last dodo bird must have felt like. While I'm still not sure, I think I can begin to relate a bit.

gaah Salty bet is down. I need to see some salt from people. Oh man, anyone have any anime suggestions?

Booing the other team in a hockey game is pretty rude.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Yo, I made it into RelaxAlax's newest video.

I'm the one at the 6 minute mark. It's also a pretty good video.

 

[Knight Dude]

As expected, Chibi Robo had won. But that's not saying much when his franchise lived long enough, before Zip Lash flopped recently (along with his own Amiibo) unlike the other three characters he was paired with. Shame the cute little bot will never get the love he deserves.

Rambling aside, I'll just finish things off with the Gamecube. Some are Western developed and one is a Japanese pinball game that fell off the radar quickly. Your choices are Alexander Roivas and Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness, John Raimi from Geist (@NonSpecificGuy), and Yamanouchi Kagetora from Odama. A lot of these are fairly forgotten characters, so tread carefully.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Can't wait for the Wii. And no I've already covered the casual fodder. I know for a fact that there are other IP's that I've missed like Captain Rainbow.

John Raimi would probably be my vote. I mean, ghost powers could be kind of cool to use in any fighting game. Smash would be no exception.

reminds me of the time during the olympics where a saccor player posted something twitter about bringng tons of bug spray to Brazil I think because of the Zika virus. Of course, that disnt go well with Brazilians and eveytime she came out on thw feild they would all go "zika"

She just sounds like a ***** honestly.

I get she was worried about the Zika virus but the way she announced she was worried could of been better...and less public lol

 

[ChikoLad]

I've been trying so hard to do the most terrible and arbitrary long form piece of writing I've ever had to do for a course.

But I can't do it anymore.

It's driving me crazy.

I've just stopped caring.

Watched the cutscenes of the "Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku" video game. Dear lord, the models and animations are just awful (even for a GameCube/PlayStation 2 game). Though good for them to have the original cast.

I imagine that Samurai Jack would be one of the hardest 2D shows to translate fully into 3D without a lot of time and effort put into doing so.

Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion did a fantastic job (even on the 3DS/Wii ports which aren't all that different form GC/PS2 graphics-wise)

Even back then I thought that game looked like trash.

Sucks, the series would probably make for a pretty great game. Maybe we could get Platinum on that...

And a certain other game that I know I'm going to be tagged for.

Have you guys used Faceapp? It's incredible.

Yeah, for your boy Zael from The Last Story.

It'd look pretty nice in the Ubiart Engine

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I have a new keyboard. It's mostly a temporary keyboard.

It's a weird keyboard and is going to take a bit of time to learn how to use

 

[Deleted member]

Can anyone explain the title to me?
Did someone hurt Opo? Is he okay?

Lenin-chan is obviously best girl
Marx-senpai has nothing on him

I... hadn't even thought of that.

I do remember a Gravity Falls game being made in the Ubiart Engine so there is precedent.

The most recent Sonic Forces Japanese interview has been translated:

https://sonicjpnews.tumblr.com/post/159914016266/20170423-sonic-forces-interview-article

The most noteworthy things are:

-Sonic Forces will be aiming for a more serious tone. We know that, but he also mentions here that they are specifically doing this so they can differentiate Sonic Team's "Modern Sonic" from "Sonic Boom's comedic touch". This was also the reason why they made the reveal trailer for the game so ominous - they wanted this to be apparent from the get go. However, there will still be brighter stages, and while the city level depicted so far is more realistic, the game in general is aiming for a more cartoony aesthetic, at least in his opinion.

-Iizuka was actually asked why the team is using in-house tools like the Hedgehog Engine 2 to develop the game and not just using more open source/licensed engines (like Unreal Engine 4) - the reason for this is because since Sonic's gameplay revolves around fast moving gameplay that surpasses speeds of most other games, it's necessary for them to develop their own development tools in most cases to ensure the team has the exact tools they need to develop the game in a timely fashion.

-The game is coming along smoothly, and Iizuka thinks it won't be delayed past it's Holiday 2017 release date. The game is currently playable from start to finish (which most likely means they are currently debugging the game, polishing up animations and visuals, and adding any extra content the game will include).

I hurt his pride as a puzzle master and my prize was getting to choose the thread title.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

The winner of the last one was John Raimi. This is a surprise as to Eternal Darkness was always a more fondly remembered classic than the likes of Geist. There was even a Kickstarter for an indie spiritual successor that's possibly in development hell. I guess some can see more potential in him as a ghost with possession as his main gimmick.

Now we are back in Wiivile, but there are no casual franchises this time. Your choices are Zael from The Last Story (@Xeno VII), Aaron from Pandora's Tower, the Diver from Endless Ocean, and Captain Rainbow from well... Captain Rainbow. Not to worry Wonderful 101 fans, your time will come soon.

I'm so hyped for Mario Kart and Puyo Puyo this week.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I think it's time

So I hear there was an MvCI press event in Germany a few days ago and that the embargo lifts at the end of the week. There are some big surprises in store, which I'm not going to spoil out of respect to Capcom.

Too bad we will never get the damn game in the West because Nintendo probably didn't want to ruin childhoods with Takamaru and Birdo.

I'd imagine a lot of Birdo fans would be triggered if they heard she was a very dirty girl. Maximum childhood ruined.

Given how little people know about Takamaru, it probably would be a Captain Falcon Smash situation where they expect him to be as perverted if the Assist Trophy was confirmed years later.
