What I love is how that poster in particular claims XCX's translation has been meme-ified, censored and ruined despite there being absolutely nothing implying that's the case, especially as NoE's also tackling the translation iirc. He's crying about something he thinks will happen
The localization has in fact been shown to be pretty damn good, including small references from the previous game and a good voice cast.

I know right?

The fact he's legitimately upset over a change in a sexualized outfit for a 13 year old and want people to lose jobs over the change really speaks volume on what kind of a person he really is.

You can make a great localization and censor out something that can be seen as gross by the majority of the audience and SUDDENLY THEY DESERVED TO BE FIRED!!!!

That behavior disgusts me and it makes me not wish to be part of any gaming community anymore since this has been prominent very recently.

I'm surprised you guys aren't talking about this one: It claims that during the Mega Man reveal there was a hint of a newcomer. Doesn't really make sense since they would have released him in the main game (as opposed to DLC), but whatever. The guy makes some good points: https://youtu.be/yEon0BPXElQ?t=7
I have a feeling you're gonna need this buddy


I did not expect to use this twice

This joke is so 2007
Someone should ask them if Shovel Knight's in Smash.
I bet nobody else will ask them that.

Wait a sec I remember I had a tweet saved in case we'd argue about FE Fates or this again
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Censorship isn't necessary good or bad, but rather how it's used. Good censorship=changing a model to make sure controversy doesn't happen and that people don't feel uncomfortable when playing, or censoring gore on a news report

Can I ask everybody in this thread to calm down, please?

It's unpleasant to have just logged into this forum and the first thing I find is yet another argument going on.

@ManlySpirit: Nothing against your viewpoints, but there is a spoiler tag functionality for the purpose of keeping spoilers hidden. Some courtesy shouldn't hurt, especially as many people here (me included) are looking forward to playing the game on their own terms.

Also, a reminder: this thread will be locked during the Direct and the official Nintendo Direct thread will open 30 minutes before it begins.

Also, to add to my previous post:

Monolith Soft has outright stated that they aren't good at English and that the localization team is allowed to change names to make more sense in an English context.

Speaking of Fates, I can't believe how much I have been spoilered just by looking at the 6 Prologues chapters on the wiki
"Oh, so this is the second Hoshido map of the Prologue! Huh? Why is the name of the boss like this?" *puts mouse over name* *gets spoiled*
I dkn't recommend looking for anything Fates related btw
The mentioned chapter is just the 4th, so yeah
And this was the lightest of them
Would you believe me if I told you
Warning: Fates spoilers
that the possible relationship with you between the Nohr's siblings is actually more incestuous than with the Hoshido ones?

Sorry guys I had to. I figured it's such an old joke that nobody would expect it, especially from me. :) Just trying to lighten the mood!

So Minecraft on the Wii U. My thoughts:

1) This should've happened a looooooooonnnnnggggggg time ago. The most popular game among kids these days on the most family-oriented console with a control scheme that basically begs for something like the gamepad? Yeah, long overdue. But better late than never I suppose. Though it's too late for it to actually help the Wii U to any discernable extent.

2) Nintendo better have also locked down Minecraft for the NX. Like, Minecraft at launch or very soon afterwards.

3) I still don't really care about Minecraft, but some tied-in Nintendo content would help appeal to both the only demo the Wii U still has plus those who have been playing Minecraft for a long time already and otherwise wouldn't see the reason in bothering to play it on the Wii U.

4) Seems negotiations with Microsoft are alive and kicking.

5) It would've been nice to be surprised by this in the Direct. Oh well. :/
Some amiibo support for Minecraft Wii U would be nice.

Is the video stream up on the Nintendo site because there's no video stream on right now for me. Just the message.

Strangely enough he didn't get that yet.

Oh gosh an hour and a half until the direct. I almost missed it because I had to run out somewhere and then it ended up being crappy weather (windy and rainy) so I can just go there tomorrow instead now. yeyeye

The YouTube link should be up about 30 minutes before the Direct starts.

That's what usually happens, anyways.

What if we get DLC alt costumes for non-Mii characters?
I'd love that, could have some really good fanservice potential. (I don't mean sexual fanservice you perverts)

Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf for example, or OOT.

Too bad Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf costume won't change Captain Falcondorf's moveset.

I am rewatching all the SSB4 reveal trailers on YouTube to pass the time and get hyped for the possible Smash Ballot character trailer. :awesome:

EDIT: this is what I am watching. :grin:

Eryth Gear Shulk would be amazing too, and movie 1 armor Mewtwo is my pipedream.

Just curious. Has anyone been able to translate Sakurai's latest tweets (@PushDustIn)? I haven't seen translations around yet and Google Translate is rather inaccurate.
