Folks, today is a legendary day.

This is what Aperture Science was researching the whole time

 

[Lollipopped]

For a 10 minute presentation, that direct really wasn’t that bad. I don’t know why people expected so much more

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Figured I'd stop complaining and contribute something. So anyone wanna see me roster for a TMNT fighting game? Anyone? TMNTSSB4 , you wanna see it?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Man I've been pretty bipolar today.

Went for a nap and feel better. Anyone wanting to see any of my photos from Ghost of Tsushima?

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

I expected to wake up to some good reveals after insiders hyped this Direct up for so long.

As you can imagine, I am disappointed. But it's still cool and I won't lose hope.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Actually wait never mind.

Also Mods; Can we please get the media uploader reworked? I was trying to post gifs earlier for some reason it is not working unless from Giphy. And for some reason we can't post gifs from the likes of Tenor and Pinterest.

I was trying to find a few gifs from earlier and didn't work.

Well for what it’s worth, it seems insiders know of an entire other presentation and that’s what they thought this was gonna be.

We can all at least agree that WWE game looks like crap, right?

Had my expectations low enough so I wasn't disappointed or mad at the Nintendo Direct Mini. Still way too short though.

Also:

What on Earth were people expecting in a mere 8 minutes?

 

[Deleted member]

Wondering if anyone here has played Hylic 2.

Saw Nitro Rad's recent review on the Game and I'm admitedly tempted to give It a try due to the Claymation artstyle.

The downvotes are more about Nintendo's tone deafness of it being an 8 minute third-party exclusive Direct in such a drought than anything. People weren't expecting much, but that doesn't mean they can't be disappointed either. Giving a warning of "third-party focused Mini Direct" doesn't suddenly make people "oh well, then it's fine". Like, if we actually had any news and they dropped a Mini like that, people would've been more receptive, especially with finally seeing SMT 5 and the Nocturne remake, which is a a fan favorite. But there's nothing, so that very short Mini Direct feels like a slap to the face to a lot of people. It's all about context. We don't even know anything about the holiday season and the year is halfway over already. Nintendo's marketing really has been dropping the ball hard this year.

In short, it's not so much that expectations were high, despite what snarky YT would like you to believe, but the tone deafness of having an 8 minute third-party Direct in an info drought. And on that end, the downvotes are very much understandable.

I gave it a dislike, not because of my expectations, but because I don't like this "partner showcase" format, if you're going to put five games you could've just as easily dropped trailers for. I'd rather have these shoved into a full direct instead of having eight minutes of "yup, that exists all right."

 

[Aurane]

Just realized my premium ran out. Been awhile.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They should have put Mega Man in Ultra Street Fighter II....

Bad Box Art Mega Man.

I’d be down.

Alright. I created my own TMNT Universe for the sake of it and most of the characters have written backstories on my laptop. I can share those too if you are interested.

I think I'll give Patreon a shot.

 

[Deleted member]

Speaking of YouTube and tone deafness, they just killed ways to get the old layout... again. This new layout sucks so much, it takes so long to load and they know people hate the general mobile inspired layout, but because of their monopoly they also don't need to try to be better.

What on Earth were people expecting in a mere 8 minutes?

The whole "ten minutes" estimate was only in a Japanese tweet (so not everyone might have seen it), and even if they did see it, this Direct wound up being less than that. (the previous "mini" Nintendo Direct was half an hour, so people had a reason to expect more if they didn't see that ten minute estimate)

On top of that, unless you were already a Shin Megami Tensei fan, it doesn't seem like there was much to get out of this Direct.

Then there were people who somehow completely missed the description and thought that we'd be getting news on Breath of the Wild 2.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

And now I'm pretty stuck on trying to rename one of my characters. After Wade giving me feedback on my characters, I'm going to rename some of them but not have them be generic.

It's pretty hard and trying to rename a fox character without trying to use Google Translate.

Anyone curious on ideas for names? Any help would be nice.

 

[Deleted member]

I've spent most of the day cleaning and waiting for my adapter to get here so I can start using my new mic.

But on the plus side I now have a spot in the garage(well now with this carpet it's less of a garage and more of a "living room 2.0) which is my "studio" so to speak. Technically it's also where we put our 3 dogs but I'll deal with that as we go.
But moving into the garage solves the main non-content related issue I've been having: Lighting! the lighting in my room is abysmal so I figured moving into the garage would fix that. I mean it's also kinda noisy but at least I can control that(unlike my lighting problem which is caused by my bunkbed of all things)

Now I just sit here and wait. Hopefully my TD upgrading cards get here finally.

 

[Metal Shop X]

In other news, I just bought Hollow Knight on the switch.

I let you know more once I play it.

Ah, you have clearly made a good decision. Tag me whenever you post about your experience playing! I’d love to hear.

Edit: tag me too about your opinions on It as I love Metroidvanias!

 

[Deleted member]

Always been meaning to pick up Hollow Knight and Celeste as well, but something always came up so I never did. Might do so next time they're on sale, though not sure if I'll go for Switch or PC.

Speaking of sales though, I did get Sonic Generations on Steam, even though I already own it for PS3. I mean, it was just 1€ and has some great modding support, so it was totally worth it.

I see what I can write on my phone lol, that and I'm not that good with sharing my opinions on games, but I see what I can do.

That’s quite the roster there. Though I have to ask, when you put these rosters together, do you have a general idea of how each of these characters would play?

Well what is your character like? Could you describe them?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Me about to make a rant about people not caring and stuff to one of my friends and then by luck of the gods, someone replies.

How do you plan to go about picking a name? Are you not using anything from other languages?

It was the one you had trouble pronouncing on Discord. Not my main character but the beastguy I told you about.

Just went with Latin. The original name was hard to say so I went with Vulpeshu (Vul-pesh-u) instead of Yeohuli (Ye-o-hu-li). Like Vulpix but a bit longer to keep to race character naming rule.

 

[Shroob]

Gonna be straight with ya


As a SMT fan


I couldn't be happier today.


It's been FOUR YEARS ALMOST since SMTV was teased, and having an HD Version of Nocturne on the Switch, a game most consider one of the best entries of the series?


Yeah, good day for me.

First time in years and I forgot how much a wasp sting/bite hurts...-_-

Gonna have to ask my dad to look around my place in case of any nests.

Glad to hear your day was good Shroob!!!

I'd say mine's was good too between the purchased I did today and the SMT news.

You could probably alter the name as well to something that you think would sound better,

 

[BlondeLombax]

Today, I learned that zealous Nintendo fans have their own definition of the word “niche.” Under normal circumstance, it translates to “relating to products appealing to a small section of the population.” From the comments I’ve seen, these specific Nintendo fans use it meaning “I have never or hardly heard of it or dislike it personally, ergo nobody else does.” Anybody else notice this?

Been that way since the dawn of Smash speculation tbf.

Nah, I like it. I was trying to use other languages and was trying to play with words like hearing, acrobat, and stuff but then decide to go for this.

On another note I really do hope for more people to read my thing as well (don't know about you), problem is that I don't know if anyone else is interested in it. And wouldn't want to throw it here. Just hate asking people about it. Makes me sound really damn desperate and clingy.

Feels like as well with the Discord chat today I've put people off because of my rant.

Ya know, Metal Gear is pretty niche.
