As expected, Final Fantasy VII topped the charts for the Switch.
I imagine it will stay there for a while. Impressed by Cuphead being in Second as a pre-download

That's awesome. I wonder if the impact of VII on Nintendo consoole is bigger now than if it would have came to it from the beggining when it first was released… we will never know i guess, but I will bet "now" is when it would've been the best time to do it rather than from the start, the bigger impact being because people nowdays consider it a classic to must have/play if you love the genre and blahblahblah. It is truly an historical event, at least to those who can see its significance.

Sorry for double post but literally no one is talking here atm. Apparently Best buy screwed up and leaked the Joker render, lol.

Yeah I saw the Source Gaming Twitter post that. He looks great if this render is real.
It's most likely real I mean Best Buy surely had this asset ready for whenever it was really supposed to be used but they screwed up early.

I think it's almost as big. I wouldn't say it's the same bc the impact of a new game being this good is usually unmatched. And if the game launched on the N64 as it was originally planned, a good chunck of the SNES fanbase wouldn't have made the jump to PSX. But alas, Nintendo isn't the same as it was back then, the game has a huge legacy behind its back, with an appearance in SSB.
The funny thing is that the game is exploding among the current Nintendo fanbase, the S-E titles are having just as good of a performance, if not better than compared to the PS4 versions, yet we still don't see the coherent representation in Super Smash Bros. Hopefully this changes soon.

I absolutely loved this render!!!


I also wanted to point out to those who are playing FFVII that there are two bugs in the game that weren't present in the PC version, but somehow was carried over from the PS4. Music from the overworld is restarted everytime you have a random encounter, and the transition from cutscene to gameplay shows a black screen for a couple of frames.
Really hoping they fix that

You were expecting something during PAX, but Joker's render was revealed in a weekly Best Buy ad; you never saw it coming. Tomorrow is April's Fool's day; something is definitely happening related to Joker (Fool Arcana). Whether it's another reveal or even an early release, IDK. Just know that that Best Buy ad is actually a calling card from the Phantom Thieves alerting the world of their presence.

With that being said, once Joker's released, hopefully we'll get news regarding another DLC candidate soon.

If we don't get another character announced with the proper 3.0 update they promised, I'm going to enjoy watching the Smash community go ballistic. That's something we all assumed was happening and would make sense, but hey, it's Nintendo after all...

It's gonna be nuts. A whole spring semester wait for Smash news would be debilitating.

Bear in mind, if Anything is going to be done for April Fools, it would be today considering it's April 1st in Japan.

It'd be amazing, but considering today is a Sunday, I don't know if they'd be working to line anything up for today. Maybe if it was during the week, I'd be a bit more confident.

I'm just happy we Totally Know Our Square Rep Now. Thank you, Square Kirby. :4pacman:

Oof, my wording is terrible, so that's my bad. I meant that I don't know if they'd prepare something on a Sunday to post on Monday, considering that isn't a work day. They don't have a lot of time in advance unless this was planned way more long-term. So... it has a chance of happening, but it's not a huge one.

See, I'd believe that, but we usually get patch notes pre-loaded onto Nintendo's servers about a week in advance, and no such thing has come up yet (like it did for 2.0.0's shadow drop).

That is, unless Nintendo caught on... (thinking emoji)

Oh i dont think a direct will suddenly drop. They usually announce the direct first, including to get a lot more viewers. So if anything it'd be an annoucement about a direct, saying that it's details on 3.0 and joker.

I guess some people might be hoping for a joker drop out of nowhere.

Yeah, a lot of the rumors floating around seem to be for a Joker shadow drop. A direct announcement on Monday would make a little more sense, though. I still won't be holding my breath, 'cause my gut is telling me nothing will happen. Emptiness. Nothingness.

... or maybe that's just because I haven't had my lunch yet...

I think there could be something soon, just maybe not today. Curious if something about joker will be posted somewhere tho.

eat up good.

I expect something no later than April 9th (the first in-game day of Persona 5). Moreover, whenever the 3.0 patch drops, someone's going to datamine it. So, even if there's no official reveal for the next character(s), we may have more info regardless once someone searches the game's updated files.

This week is my spring break. I'm hoping that this first week of April we see something, considering the indie showcase was two Wednesdays ago. I don't like the idea of having to maybe not catch the direct because it's airing NEXT week when I go back to college.

So, hey, guys?

Uh... I think we have our square rep.



Kirby's design works because the whole squishy puff ball thing allows for flexibility with his limbs. Why is his body square but his hands are not? His design is purposely made to not be blocky. You can't just change one core element of his design and expect his design to work in your environment.

...

Also, I got a game over against the first boss of FF 7 because what are counter attacks?

Good old mistranslations. When Barret Mr. T tells you to attack while their tail is up, he means the opposite as you learned the hard way.

That's what confused me yeah. I assumed second time around that I should attack him, heal up in between the laser barrage, and then continue attacking. He noticably didn't do anything in that phase when I waited.

By the way, I'm planning to rename all of the characters in FE 7. I know Tifa is next, but I can't really think up of any name for her. SMASHBOARDS UNITE

What should I rename Tifa to? If you say to name her Tifa, I will put you on my ignore list for a minute.

I only care about quality, not length. You can literally name her "69" and I would legitimately consider it. Actually, I'm considering that name now that I said it, but I'll wait until all suggestions are in. Tafi sounds unique.

you could give her a pet name that you like, or something else funny if you want to laugh whenever someone talks to her.
maybe that's obvious. I only have crappy ideas like BreadFace or MelonLord. I dunno, whatever you like XD

I love Aerith, but man do I love Tifa too.. :3
A pity that she will be nerfed in the remake for...... reasons. :4pacman:
Her personality and character should be, hopefully the same. With so many characters being destroyed in the expanded canon, Tifa is one of only very few that survived unscathed in the entire way. She is a woman with a heart of gold, and you'll see what I mean as the game progresses.
Tifa in Smash?...........anyone?...................ok, I'll leave

I knew about it but never posted there. And I didn't know you started it! :o
Props to you dear. ^^
I put Sephiroth in the forefront bc of his status, bc it would be epic to have him in the villains gang, and being the first katana user in Smash Bros.
But if not him, Tifa would be my pick. Aerith, as much as I love her, feels better as an AT doing something like Palutena's Heavenly Light mixed with Starman, which would be faithful to her final Limit Break
