I never played O.M., so I don't know what the original stage looks like. I'll look at it later.

Just like the Pyrosphere.

Really, most of the details are followed to a tee.


On another note...

What do you guys think about Capcom's financial problems? They're almost broke. Dangerously close. You think they'll survive much longer?

Nintendo should buy them.
On a more serious note, I think they will sink if they don't release more great (not just good) games.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Capcom going through it, huh? why am I not surprised

Only if Capcom seriously changes the way they do business and by that, I mean listening to their fans (especially when it benefits them), working hard towards restoring their horrendous PRs, and restricting DLC and mobile games. But with Capcom's current strategy being to increase focus on DLC and mobile games (the same things that have hurt them so much), I am not optimistic.

Considering how important Capcom is to gaming and the many strong IPs they have, I really don't want to see them go. Why people are celebrating this I will never understand since most people don't understand that the buyout of Capcom's franchise is not going to be nearly as good as many think it is. There will be at least several Capcom's franchise fans with broken hearts once they find out their favorite IP sinks with the company/got bought out by a company that won't do anything with the IP. Heck, the only IPs that are absolutely safe are Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. I know most everyone assumes that Mega Man will be better off after Capcom goes down the drain, but Capcom's bad financial situation gives me ground for concern.

It's hard to imagine a gaming environment without Capcom, but if they gotta die out due to shotty business decisions then let them.
I just hope the employees find work if it happens.

P.S Today is my birthday!

 

[Metal Overlord]

happy 20th (how old are you now lol?) fam

 

[Diddy Kong]

Yo congrats Moon! I'm guessing it's either your 22th or 23th right? Anyway, have a good one.

 

[FalKoopa]

A happy birthday to you, Moon Monkey. I hope your main (Yoshi) gets revealed soon.

Happy Birthday, Moon! Have a great one!

Looks like it's true, good people are born in September.

Happy Birthday Moon Monkey.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Monday would be awesome. Cause it's officially Moon-Day. Would make for an awesome belated birthday gift I think.

I think the reason Capcom is going bankrupt is the same reason the entire AAA gaming industry is struggling: expectations. Every game company pumps as much money as they can into their games trying to make them look "super-realistic"(read: like a movie) for the trailer for "immersion." Why? Because everybody(at least AAA devs/companies) wants their game to be "the next CoD." Instead of maybe reducing their budget and expectations, devs are just spending more and more money, and trying to suck more and more money out of the consumer.

(I hope that made sense. Jim Sterling explained this whole thing better than I could in the Jimquisition.)

21. Teacher called in sick with a cold so I get to sleep in today.
So todays off to a good start, now if I can only manage to get out of these night classes...
Either way thanks guys!

Happy Birthday, Moon! Have a great one!

Hahaha! it's scientifically proven!

 

[Diddy Kong]

And everybody wants to have Ridley in Smash.

 

[Conviction]

Happy birthday, Moon.

FanMan, I would thought you would join the Mafia game. Oh well.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Whoa I'm still in the weekend I think... I just posted that a Yoshi reveal would be great on Monday, but it's already Monday.

 

[FalKoopa]

And everybody wants to have Ridley in Smash.

And nobody wants to have Impa is Smash.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'm not really certain what Capcom could do. Maybe Mega Man's inclusion in Smash is just the start of Capcom's revival?

Course I'm not saying that automatically means they'll start making good decisions, though it does give me a tad bit of hope for them. If the company does go bankrupt, let's all hope that at least some of their game IPs are bought and used, and their employees find work.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Happy birthday Moon Monkey!

I agree, Don't want them to go down, but I Don't think their future looks bright.

Edit:
Happy birthday Moon Monkey.

Looks like we've reached an Impasse

 

[KingofPhantoms]

@shinpichu XD that picture is awesome.


Anyway, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but as long as they use the IP at all, I think Mega Man would be fine in Nintendo's hands.

Yes it does. It is so frustrating to see Japanese companies that were once considered among the best succumbs to greed and part of it has to do with Call of Duty. I have lost a lot of respect for CoD over the years as I realized that it is a yearly cash-in for Activision with relatively little change to the game, yet people still eat it up (not to disrespect those who like the series, but I would be more than a little happy to see the franchise take a break). When I realized it is a big contributing factor for how the franchise has indirectly turned Capcom into what they are today, it turned a franchise I was disinterested in into a franchise that I loathe.

 

[Metal Overlord]

@Diddy- Charizard and Blastoise? yes

 

[KingofPhantoms]

New rooster.

I'd be set with this roster.


...well, aside from the lack of Ridley and Pokemon Trainer.

 

[FalKoopa]

New rooster.

Has Impa but no Ridley 0/10

Spoiler

j/k.
I'll play. 6/10

EDIT: No Pokémon Trainer. 5/10

Why no Snake or Sonic though?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

How did I not notice the lack of Sonic and Snake until FalKoopa mentioned it...?

(proceeds to lay face on desk)

 

[Metal Overlord]

lol you gucci Phantom, I didn't notice either

for some reason, I really can't see either of them staying, they probably will return tho

 

[Diddy Kong]

Guests be guests yo. If I tell you to come over for a night and have a drink, I expect you NOT to be there when I wake up in the morning, or my case: afternoon.

Yes, Impa over Ridley.

#YOLO
#SWAG
#IDGAF

Pokémon Trainer isn't really gone though. Red is in the background for Charizard, Glue / Green in the background for Blastoise. They are just selectable as the Pokémon themselves, cause they don't switch out.

 

[Metal Overlord]

#IDGAF? lol come on now, this ain't Facebook

 

[Diddy Kong]

That's why I did it

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Fixed.

Tempted to Photoshop a monkey riding on the Majora's Mask moon lol!

@Roster
*Sees King K. Rool, Yoshi and the main DK crew* That's an automatic 7/10
*Sees Litte Mac* 8/10 *
*Sees Lyn and Palutena* 10/10
*Sees Paper Mario, No Sonic and Snake* 8/10

It's 8/10 from me

 

[Spazzy_D]

Capcom, isn't going bankrupt, they are more then fine. They have a TON of liquid assests, and people are making a big deal out of literally nothing. Even if they were doing bad, Monster Hunter 4 just landed in Japan and is breaking records (best Monster Hunter launch ever.)

 

[Metal Overlord]

roster gets a 9 from me

if only Sonic and Snake were on it (Sheik too but I mean, it's Diddy we're talking about)

now I'm going to go make my own roster haha

 

[Conviction]

One series does not make a company

I'm not saying that Capcom will go bankrupt so much as expressing my concerns on what would happen if Capcom does go bust.

However, Capcom is not out of the woods by any means. Monster Hunter (and to a lesser extent, Street Fighter) are the only franchises that are still profitable for the company (other franchises either aren't being used or not being used properly to where their games don't sell well enough). They cannot afford to keep screwing fans over for long. If their reputation continues to sink, so will their money and considering that Capcom has one of the worst PRs in the Japanese video game industry, you'd think having only $152 million would be a wake up call for them, but apparently it wasn't.

 

[Diddy Kong]

If I'd have $152 million, not many people would see me too often.

Except females probably.

Nice joke, but this is a major third-party publisher we're talking about. Rockstar's GTA V was $266 million and Capcom has less than that in the bank, so...
