I’m still betting on July for Hero and September for Banjo.

 

[CosmicQuark]

Oh dang, my 360 works! Now I can play Banjo Kazooie and see if it’s as good as people say!

Good luck! Luckily the 360 version fixed some of the issues of the original, going from Nintendo Hard, to manageable. I just have to tune out during the changes they made at the end.

Still deciding between $60 for BK and BT replacement carts on N64, $60 for an Xbox 360 replacement, or waiting for port/remaster on Switch...

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I feel so bloody tired right now...probably from stress.

 

[Nemuresu]

I'm gonna go with July/August for Hero and September/October for Banjo, while last two reveals occur simultaneously somewhere around October/November in a dedicated Smash Direct, with releases scheduled for December and February.

For anyone who wants a nice and short indie game similar to Super Meat Boy, I recommend Katana Zero.

It's one of those simple platformers where you're a samurai who has to kill everybody on screen but you die in one hit. The gimmick is that you can slow down time for a bit to give yourself a strategic advantage.

That's as simple as I can make it without spoiling much. It's simple, fun, accessible, and gives you something to think about. It's not kid friendly though. Substance abuse and murder are fairly big themes, and the only reason it can get away with it is because of the (well done) pixel presentation.

If that wont get in the way--and it didn't get in the way for me, then I think it's a good way to kill an evening. It's on the eshop for $15.

Oh yeah, it also has a ******** soundtrack.

Actually it would be the September 20th and it was stated Banjo would release for Fall.

I don't know why I had summer in my head, that's so weird.

You’re in for a great time Noipoi! You should give us your detailed thoughts at the end. Sign me up for Banoi-Kazoopoi!

I certainly hope we get N. Sane/Reignited/Nitro Fuled Style remakes. I would love it if hey launched on Switch along with a DK64 Remake so we can have proper stop n swap as originally intended.

Then they follow it up with Diddy Kong Racing Banana-Rama Edition!

Plays good, too. I love those games that get me into "the zone." I sometimes don't even realize what I'm doing until after slaughtering the entire room. Good stuff.

We all thought the newcomer hype ended on a fizzle after Piranha Plant and Incineroar, but then Sakurai snapped his fingers on the seventh day and gave us three well respected gaming icons--one of them being Banjo & Kazooie.

Oh no, they were just the beginning.

I'm not saying which series are more iconic than the rest, but that Persona is well known, especially after how well received Persona 5 was. If I were arguing icons, then Master Chief was gonna get in over Banjo.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Also, this is weird, I had the date wrong because when I searched "78 days from July 4" on Google it said "October 17," so at least some of the blame here is on Google haha.

Yu’s only even comparably iconic because he had half a decade to star in everything they made Persona related whereas Joker has only been out for two years and is just now starting to get into his prime.

Persona 5 is the best selling Persona game and will be the new face of the franchise for the next 5+ years. Plus, despite the positive reaction, Persona 4 pales in comparison to how universally beloved 5 has been and will continue to be.

Joker was the right choice by a mile.

Joker’s more interesting aesthetically than Minato or Yu too

I tend to agree. Plus, now that he’s in Smash, he’s probably going to remain iconic for decades to come.

Does Shazam! come out so soon? Awesome! That has been one of the few movies in recent memory that I actually missed seeing in theaters. I was just busy with my last semester of college and got caught up in everything, kept putting it off until it was just too late. Really need to see it.

And, yes, I only watched Godzilla last week, but I already would love to see it again.

Yep. It comes out July 16th. A Tuesday as usual for any movie coming out on disc.

Its an experience you wouldn't regret. A great take on the golden age of superheroes and lots of light-hearted fun. I'm of the unpopular opinion that I actually liked it even more then Endgame.

 

[StormC]

Yu would only seem more iconic because of there being nearly a decade of Persona 4 content. P5 smashes 4 in sales, it’s not even close, and the P5 spin-offs are only getting started, the fandom will explode even more after Royal.

[Megadoomer]

Oh wow, I keep forgetting there are people who havent played FF7 despite it being more than 20 years old at this point lol.

Alright, let's see, I'm sure I can guess at where you're at, so here goes:

Spoiler: FF7 Spoilers

If you already have gotten Cloud back, with memories, and have 3 Huge Materia, that means the one you likely just finished getting was the Junon Underwater Reactor one. The first two would have been Corel & Fort Condor (both of those are done without Cloud and the story forces you to go 'check on him & Tifa' afterward before attempting the 3rd). If you're not sure where to go next, you either missed the conversation for it, or you haven't actually gotten the 3rd Huge Materia yet. After the Underwater Reactor and sinking the Red Submarine holding it, you actually have to go back underwater to find the downed sub; that's how you actually get it and then the story will tell you where the last one is. There are other things to explore down there, so you can go straight for the Sub or drive the sub around to explore a bit; Careful though; it can be dangerous).

After you go for the 4th Huge Materia, there's one last major area to go to (revisit) before the end of the 2nd disc. The 3rd Disc is entirely for optional stuff and the Final Dungeon, so depending on how much running around and leveling you want to do, you can either take on the final dungeon right at the start of Disc 3 (it's a fairly deep dungeon, so I'd say about an hour to get through and then the Final Boss segment) or do some optional quests like Chocobo Breeding or optional Dungeons for leveling, Materia, and Gear.

That covers where you are and what you've got left.

As for Omnislash, the only place to get it is the Colosseum in Gold Saucer. Unfortunately, with as far as you are, it's a bit more difficult. I actually try to get it as early as possible since the enemy possibilities within the arena are much easier to deal with than later on. Your best bet when doing the slots going to the next battle is to always land on something Materia related; that's what drives the score up the most. Personally, I tend to use a lot of Command (Yellow) materia like 2x Cut, Slash All, or Enemy Skill or 'Independent' (Pink) materia and little else; that way I can 'disable' Green, Blue, Red, or Pink materia and get the good points for it without impacting Cloud too badly.

One of the best setups to use, from personal experience, is having the Long Range materia equipped (makes it so you do the same damage from back row, meaning enemies will do less to you since you're 'further back'), Counterattack materia leveled up as much as possible (I think maxed gives you like an 80% chance of counterattack), and Destruct Materia + Added Effect; this gives your weapon the chance to Auto-Kill on contact (so each hit and each counter hit have the chance to cause Instant Death). That particular materia also has DeSpell on it if I'm not mistaken, so it can also cause your strikes to destroy Barrier & MBarrier as well. You may also want to have 'Ribbon' equipped since there are some enemies that will ruin your run instantly thanks to status effects like Frog, Berserk, Slow & Poison, etc.

Other than that, late game Gold Saucer Colosseum is kind of luck based in a way. You need double the points now than if you had attempted it in Disc 1; I believe it should be 32,000 for you now along with fighting MUCH harder enemies (like Malboro, Tonberry, or the damn dirty run-ending Mosquitoes) as oppossed to being 16,000 in Disc 1 and facing an either an Ochu or Sand Worm in the final match as the only things that could be qualified as 'difficult'.

Oh, and keep in mind: BP earned from the Arena will disappear if and when you exit the arena, meaning any BP you have leftover is GONE. You have to do the whole run at ONCE; you can't leave and stockpile BP. Omnislash is one of the best Limits in the game (Just behind Final Gospel and one other in my opinion) since the damage count is so high; it's meant to be one of the Hardest limit breaks to earn.

Thanks! I've made it to the start of what was originally disc 3, so now I just have sidequests left as far as I know. I don't know if I'm going to bother with Chocobo breeding - I know it's needed to get one of the two remaining Summon materia that I don't have, but it just seems like it would take up a lot of time, seems like it would rely heavily on random chance, and I barely even know how to capture a Chocobo, let alone how to do anything else with them.

Is there an easy way to earn GP at the Gold Saucer? I'm probably going to need a lot of it; the arm wrestling game is reliable, but I only get 2 GP per attempt, so that's going to take ages for me to get enough GP out of it to earn Omnislash.

Also, what's a good way to boost a character's defense? I briefly tried the final dungeon, and the enemies are taking off a good chunk of Cloud's health per hit. Maybe I'm underleveled, but I beat the boss at the end of disc two with barely any effort, so I don't think that would be it. (my characters are all in the early to mid fifties, I think)
