Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Champ Gold]

Huh. This is interesting.

We're happy to announce that Shovel Knight is on the way to Japan! For 3DS and Wii U, and published by Nintendo!https://t.co/mTL6bVevLc

Nintendo is publishing Shovel Knight in Japan.

Nintendo of Japan does that a lot.

Didn't they published the remastered version of Cave Story

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I still find it weird that you can SNES Arwing for Zero but the original Star Fox still isn't available for Virtual Console

I think it's because the Super Effects chip in the SNES has licensing issues.

It's why we haven't gotten Yoshi's Island either.

 

[Curious Villager]

Oh I love the addition of being able to use the original SNES Arwing from the original Starfox/Starwing in Starfox Zero, lots of childhood memories with that game. Now if only I could track down a Fox amiibo....

It's here!

So I take it this will be the general routine every time Ninty reveals something fans don't like?

I can only imagine what will happen once Nintendo uploads it.

It's just as expected:

 

[Wario Bros.]

Good thing I have a Fox amiibo.

Surprised they didn't talk about Falco amiibo (is he compatible but they didn't announce it?)

 

[Chrono.]

Retro Arwing also replaces the music with SNES tracks.

 

[Deleted member]

Hey, guys.

Dr. Kirby is now a thing in the Kirby Universe.

#Dr.KirbyforSmashNX

 

[JamesDNaux]

SNES games are New 3DS exclusive, could the original not handle them or something?

The original handled Sonic games just fine.

...

Guess Genesis does what Nintendon't.

 

[AreJay25]

You know, I was kinda interested in Lost Reavers.

But that framerate.

 

[Substitution]

Now that I think about, since Earthbound Beginnings has been sent over here, and now Earthbound is on both the Wii U and New 3DS (not to mention Mother 3 finally getting a re-release in Japan), could this mean the time for Mother 3 to be released in the west be soon?

 

[Opossum]

Honestly among the new things, the things that I liked the most were the new Star Fox Zero+Star Fox Guard info, Kirby: Planet Robobot, and Rhythm Heaven Mega Mix. Isabelle getting a standalone amiibo is nice too, as well as her classic summer outfit. I'm telling you guys, her and the Inklings are shoo ins for the next Smash, and I'm not using that word lightly.

I'm also guessing that "Caviar F" was the horse card game/dating sim, and that Planet Robobot may have been "Torte City," based only on their descriptions.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Am I the only happy to see the Smash Bros ability back from the Amazing Mirror. I might consider buying the game because of that.

 

[Curious Villager]

Retro Arwing also replaces the music with SNES tracks.

Gosh this is so hype for me since it brings back a lot of memories from Starwing. I hope they will restock the Fox amiibo, or at least also make it compatible with the Falco amiibo too....

 

[Wario Bros.]

Even though the Direct didn't talk about the Falco amiibo for Star Fox Zero (which surprised me), I might just get one.

My Best Buy is super overflooded with that specific amiibo and almost begging for me to buy one.

 

[epicmartin7]

Another thing I want to add.

WHEN IS THIS COMING TO AMERICA.

 

[Substitution]

You know, I was kinda interested in Lost Reavers.

Yeah I noticed that as well. I get it's an online game, but good God for something meant to draw me in that certainly didn't help.
Heck, the whole game felt like something I'd see on Steam. I was half-expecting Jim Sterling to start commentating over it.

 

[Soul.]

Star Fox is okay. Splatoon balancing lol. Gundam Kirby hype. SNES on New 3DS yas. ayy Pokkén. Rhythm Heaven is cool but not really into it.

Maybe next Direct they'll release Detective Pikachu.

Federation Force and Paper Mario hate is getting ridiculous.

That isn't a title I see being advertised for a big budget according to the leak TBH.

I don't think its Torte City.

 

[N3ON]

For me personally, the amount of customization and roles the troopers can play really helps.

It gives a lot of variety. On paper anyways.

People thought the game was "bad" because it didn't play like a Metroid, look like a Metroid, or feature Samus prominently. They didn't think it was bad because of the gameplay, they just thought it shouldn't be part of the Metroid IP. So finding out that non-Metroid-like gameplay has more depth to it doesn't really address any of the problems people took issue with... or really come as a surprise considering we only really saw like two minutes of it previously.

But whatever. If it means more people are going to have an open mind about this game that's a good thing. Clearly they're not going to change the art style or anything like that at this point.

IIRC they did the same thing for the initial trailer.

They just can't win.

 

[ChikoLad]

Was typing up a post about my thoughts and my internet crapped (EDIT: AND IT DID IT AGAIN DURING THE RE-TYPE UGH) and I accidentally copied over the post in my clipboard with this:

Now for another attempt at my thoughts:

-Star Fox intrigues me but I'm still skeptical, seems a bit lacking still. Will still get it day one though and getting a whole other game as a pre-order bonus is awesome. Hilarious that we get a Slippy spin-off before literally any other character though, lol.

-I was already getting an awesome N3DS bundle for Hyrule Warriors Legends but WOW that DLC plan is amazing. Will probably buy the Season Pass day one, lol.

-Aside from Rosalina in a leotard in CGI looking sexy as hell (highlight of the direct to be honest :V), the Wii U Mario & Sonic is worrying me. They didn't reveal anything new about it and the new characters were only shown in the same events they are exclusive to on 3DS (or a similar event if their 3DS event is missing on Wii U). This makes me worry that only veterans will be playable across all events, and the new characters only get one event. That will kill a lot of the hype I had for the game. Also the 3DS version comes out on my birthday though not sure I want it honestly.

-The FE Fates EU Special Edition looks cool, might get it and put the three games on the backlog.

-From a battle mechanics/story/characters standpoint, I'm already worried about Paper Mario, but the graphics are GORGEOUS, and the paint mechanic looks cool for exploration at least.

-The new Kirby both excites and disappoints me, but those amiibo are must buys for me.

I feel bad for the game's director since he sounded pretty nervous during the presentation and it was apparently something he wanted to do for a while.

I hope the game manages to pull a Wind Waker, somehow....

 

[Champ Gold]

SNES games are New 3DS exclusive, could the original not handle them or something?

The original handled Sonic games just fine.

...

Guess Genesis does what Nintendon't.

Genesis is massively easy to emulate, I mean so damn easy to emulate. A toaster can emulate the Genesis without flaw.

SNES have so many issues and it's just easier to go with the stronger system.

Trust me but considering SNES emulation on the PSP is gutter trash, it makes sense. Genesis Emluation is child's play compared to the SNES. Even GBA Emulation is easier but that is a 32-Bit handheld that Nintendo should have perfected YEARS AGO

 

[Z25]

DAMN IT GiIvaSunner! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ALWAYS SO SPOT ON?

FYI, I'm fine with Color Splash

Beat me to it, but I still want to share a different video to:

Corrin is balanced!

The original Metroid Prime got salted on too and look how it went.

Which make Sonic Genesis on the GBA all the more embarassing.

 

[Deleted member]

Because Nintendo decided to make the Pokemon VC games more expensive than how GB games usually are, I decoded to say **** it and emulate Red

FE naming theme, Nuzlocke time
Just usual rules 'cause I'm not suicidal
Also

Ha! Get it? Because he's an asshole and nobody loves him
And he's a furry in my headcanon

Anyways, which starter should I pick?

 

[Substitution]

Not gonna lie, I may get a New 3DS to play the SNES games.
I've been needing to catch up on games I've missed over the years (and now having a Wii U), and since I've really wanted to play Link to the Past and Earthbound why not?

I am interested to see if they'll also bring over other games. Who knows, maybe N64 games will start popping up.

 

[AreJay25]

I can't wait for SNES Street Fighter Alpha 2 on 3DS

That's the definitive version of the game

 

[Fenriraga]

Oh, just noticed that Cards are literally Stickers. You use them for your attacks.

I'm not going to say anymore, they have learned nothing and they'll get nothing from me for it.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Which make Sonic Genesis on the GBA all the more embarassing.

Even more embarrassing that Stealth (one of the people behind the recent Sonic remasters) actually ported Sonic 1 to the GBA and it's pretty much a 1 for 1 port.

Just goes to show how little Sega cared with that port.

 

[Aetheri]

Some quick thoughts...

Star Fox Zero is not delayed!!!!!Yay!

Medli Hype!!

Bravely Default looks like it might be worth looking into...might try the demos at least...also, I realised I've been mispronouncing 'Agnes Oblige' all this time...

Metroid Prime Federation Force is not dead...though unfortunately due to being at work I missed half the segment regarding it, so I'll have to rewatch it to get a proper opinion...but from what I saw it is gaining my interest at least...also Samus looked better than I thought she would so there's that...I think the game's gonna be better than expected but we'll see...

And a little pissed off by the SNES exclusivity to the New 3ds...Nintendo y u do this to me?

Also now we know Kirby's new final smash in the next Smash game

 

[Coricus]

I have a question: Do you guys think video game quality has gone downhill in recent years, or have people's reactions to new video games just become more harsh?

If it's the former, what steps would the industry have to take in order to fix it, and what specific games would have to be released?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

META KNIGHT'S FINALLY COMING HOME! And a Meloetta thing too. Jesus christ this game makes my knees weak. Though I noticed something. Shibata said over 25 abilities and we have Doctor, UFO and Jet. KTD had 26 abilities including Hypernova. Something's getting cut sadly. Plz keep Beetle Kirby

I'm going to hit that dislike button so hard. I don't even care. Sticker Star was such an utter disappointment compared to TTYD I will fight tooth and nail to get Nintendo to see reason.

In related news, the Paper Mario reddit is a saltmine right now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm gonna be honest. I don't care for Paper Mario. But goddamn, my first thought was 'Give them a traditional game!'

 

[Deleted member]

Wait a second.

What does this mean for SuperMetalDave64's supposed 3DS games "leak"?

I don't remember RH Megamix beign in that list.

Is codename Kirby Planet Robobot codename Caviar F or codename Cadillac?

Was the whole Pokémon Ninji thing a coincidence? or is this another Gematsu scenario?
