I keep hearing that the Upcoming Pokemon Nintendo Direct is 5 minutes.

¿Is that true?

ROTT originally came out for a console that wasn't doing so well I believe, FE:F released for a console with millions of units sold.

It's not a fair comparison...

So recently my family has been trying to go through our family history. And I gotta say it's pretty interesting with what we found.

Like apparently on my father's side not only did we have knights that fought in the War of the Roses, but also had a few that battled alongside William the Conqueror.
Hell my mother's side had barons and baronesses.


Sure would love to know where all that money went to though.

Not really. It was a running joke in the K. Rool thread to replace every hard c with a k. That's pretty much it.

:231:
Thanks to the K.Rool thread, every time i hear the phrase "One of Us", i kan't help but think of a giant fat monarch Krokodile dancing and singing alongside a poorly done CGI Gorilla who believes that is a Krokodile.

The CGI Gorilla also has a weird looking skull... It's never explained but whateves.

One question, what counts a sucess in game sales for non-indie productions? Everyone's cheering 300,000 Fire Emblem sales while the Tomb Raider reboot posted losses after selling millions. I guess it's gotta do with the amount of bus adverts they take out.
The only thing that makes a game a commercial success is sales relative to budget.

You can sell a billion copies but if that doesn't make you a good profit then it's not a success.

Fire Emblem doesn't require near the amount of budget the modern Tomb Raider games do. I believe Nintendo has stated that if they made an FE game for Wii U, it would need to sell around 750,000 units for them to consider it successful, implying they know the kind of budget they would dedicate to a Wii U Fire Emblem game.

*tries to go back to the DLC announcement time on the K. Rool support thread*

*crumples before I make it*


No guys. Please.

Inkling was just a case of bad timing. She would have gotten far worse treatment as a DLC character than by being saved until the next game.

And you're saying Sakurai would never save a character because he treats each game as his last, so you think he MUST have snubbed her. I think that new interview implies something to the contrary, even if you wouldn't have known it at the time.

Inkling and K. Rool have very different issues behind their exclusions. It hurts my brain seeing them lumped together like this.

I'm not sure if I even want to revisit certain support threads....

I guess I'll just stick to chatting with some of the Layton supporters and poking around in the Toon Link, Ness and Villager boards for now as far as characters go....

They're basically at two ends of the spectrum, one is old and irrelevant, while the other is new and very relevant, they have almost nothing in common...

POGEYMANZ DIRECT???


I'm now somewhat expecting Pokémon 20th anniversary to drop a Micheal Bay bomb for us.

Here are some possible outcomes for the Direct (not predictions personally)
  • Recap on the soon to release Generation I Virtual Console
  • Detective Pikachu gets overseas release
  • New info on Pokkén Tournament
  • Pokémon Z
  • Generation VII (or Gen 6.5 as some are believing)
  • New info on Pokémon GO
  • New Smash DLC
  • Another special distribution of some kind
  • The Pokémon Company buys Earth
Let's hope work doesn't get in the way for me to watch it live.

If you really wanna plum some depths, check out the BRAWL support threads. For example the Krystal thread was called "The **** Staff". Paragons of Maturity

Edit: And as if to prove my point on how the past was weird, the key word in that phrase got censored. Am I allowed to say what letter it started with or is that trigger breaking ban offence?

Not ban worthy, but yeah, preferably don't.

Don't worry, I know that Brawl wasn't any better, I was there. (Well not here specifically, but I've seen how it more or less went.....) Poor R.O.B. and Wolf (ironically......)

Daisy is a bit interesting to say the least, I like her agressiveness in her personality, but sometimes the fans over exaggerate how good of a character she is.
IMO, it goes like Rosalina >>>>> Diasy > Peach.
I think Daisy has a more lively personality and is pretty tomboyish. Certainly not 1-dimensional like someone else said. Peach has a more damsel in distress and royal personality. I just prefer Daisy's a bit more.

You can fairly easily make two different and unique movesets for BOTH Daisy & Waluigi however they will all have to be based on the Spinoffs & Creative Licence.

I see NO difference in moveset potential between the two. They are at a equal level imo. Paper Mario is another Mario, no thanks. I don't find his moves even a little appealing as it doesn't seem exciting nor my style. The stage is enough representation. It's already more than what Mario Sports has.

However....I also believe there should be no Mario newcomers in the next game. But I'd be fine with whoever joins... even Paper M.

Period.

Inkling and K. Rool have very different issues behind their exclusions. It hurts my brain seeing them lumped together like this.
They have so many different lumps and groups and are in a very small but very vocal echochamber plus they don't exactly know or perhaps care about support elsewhere unless it has K Rool somewhere at the top of a poll.

I'm not surprised about the outrage and riots happening there after the Decemeber direct.

Nevertheless, the salt was absolutely hilarious. It was like watching little kids fight over a toy but on the internet over a video game character.:laugh:

They should have seen it coming ever since the K Rool mii. It never made business sense to me to release both a mii & character when they could have had K Rool & a mii outfit for other fans of a different character.

But I'm happy they remained optimistic and continued supporting till the very end. It still helps.

Hating things on the internet is always cool. It's just the way the world works.

Why Daisy specifically? Probably memes. I'm sure there is another reason but my Memory is a bit foggy.
Well there's Me-


The oh-so-righteous guy with the W avatar? Who is very quick to blame others for their failures? :p

I honestly thought that he was being facetious before it hit me that no, he's very serious. >_>

Because @CyberHyperPhoenix asked for these sometime ago but I'm like, super late
Before Awakening conversation 1/3
Odin and Lissa
Odin: *pant...pant...*
I've managed to avoid Uncle Chrom so far. If I can make it through this battle...
Of course I can! Why would I doubt myself?
A chosen warrior can be like a shadow when he needs to be.
But really, what are the odds we'd end up here, of all places?!
It seems the big conflict hasn't begun yet, but I should still avoid my family at all--!

Lissa: Hey! Are you all right?

Odin: GAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Mot-- Er, Lissa?!

Lissa: Huh? How do you know my name?

Odin: Um... that's because I... heard it before! I mean just now! From Corrin!

Lissa: Oh! OK!
I'm glad you're all right.
I saw you talking to yourself, and I thought maybe you'd been injured.
What's your name?

Odin: I am... Odin Dark.

Lissa: Odin, huh? Nice to meet you, Odin!

Odin: It's glorious to meet you, too!
(It's hard to believe that she's going to be my mother someday.)

Lissa: Is something wrong? You keep staring at me...

Odin: Oh no, it's nothing! I'm going to get back to fighting now, though!
The enemy will wait for no one!

Lissa: Awww, he left. There's something interesting about him.
What a neat name, though. It sounds like one an amazing hero would have!
If I ever have a son, I'll have to give him a name like that, too!
I'll do Selena's and Laslow's conversations with Chrom later
