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

Back in E3 2014, we got Robot Chicken skits.
Last year, we got puppets from Jim Henson Studios.

That makes me wonder if we are going to get something similar this year's Digital Event.

Epic Rap Battles Team Up please!

 

[Schnee117]

South Park style Nintendo skits.

inb4 NX trailer references the episode where Cartman freezes himself because he wants the Nintendo Wii

 

[JamesDNaux]

What's funny was that originally, the mod infracted me for even posting official images of Rosalina from the new Mario & Sonic games at all, as well as other users.

Because practical sports leotards are too lewd.

Gee, if that's their reaction to an E rated game then we had better not let them know about Bayonetta being in Smash.

Jeez even Nintendo's E3s have gimmicks.

Still say their gimmick should be having a good NX launch library

Most of them actually have sound, turns out!

Poison Kirby looks really fun! And the Robobot Armour looks more and more fun

I mean you say that jokingly, but I legitimately think Bayonetta should have been the signal for people to realise Smash's main demographic isn't innocent 5 year olds, especially when one of her win quotes is "Don't make me beg".

I mean there were plenty of signals beforehand but this is the most blatant one.

Trying to neuter discussion to be suitable for 5 year olds on a Smash forum just because kids might pick it up for Mario and Kirby, is like trying to do the same on a Deadpool forum just because Deadpool sometimes has X-Men and what not in it.

Sounds familiar.

I hope the 3DS player finally becomes a thing on the NX, I wanna see how Kid Icarus, Majora's Mask 3d etc would look.

Honestly, that's the most important thing for new consoles imo

I can't even remember the last time a console had a solid launch line-up. Xbone was decent but nothing great.

The bigger problem is that they're thinking up good ideas but are unable to implement them in games in a way that feels natural.

The net result is shoehorning of gimmicks where people don't want them.

With gimmicks, here's the best solution: don't shove it down throats. Why does, say, Sonic and the Black Knight get flak? The motion controls are shoved down your throat, which leaves a sour spot to many

 

[Solfiner]

I think the NX is gonna have a good/great launch since there hasn't been as many 3ds/wii u games lately meaning that they've probably been working on the NX launch for a while now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

What did the leak say for NX again?

 

[Schnee117]

Honestly if NX launches with Zelda and FFXV then that's a great launch already.

 

[Naoshi]

Don't forget Secret Rings. Awfully annoying game to control

 

[Z25]

Honestly if NX launches with Zelda and FFXV then that's a great launch already.

I could these, some new mario, another new entry in a popular Nintendo series, and another 3rd party title. With several more coming to the system each month.

My unrealistic wish is a pokemon game that's either mainline or a spinoff like the XD games on it. But those probably won't happen.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I said Black Knight because after a while, your arm hurts despite it being fun

 

[A Distant Demon]

What did the leak say for NX again?

Right now the only leaks I know of are Zelda NX (same as Pokemon Sun and moon) and something else about FF15 and FF7r(same leaker, different source).


I think at least one dragon quest has also been confirmed for it as well.

I was talking about the one that called Niji and called Kirby Torte City

 

[Coricus]

I think my main (if not only) concern with the NX launch is this:

When has ANY video game console from ANY company EVER had a satisfactory launch (in terms of lineup, at least)?

Or first year, for that matter?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Also, backwards compatibility is a MUST for any console. Otherwise people have less reason to buy it

 

[Soul.]

Launch lineups are cool and all but please have a good third-party library again. Wii U's third-party library is almost nonexistent. 3DS at least has that.

Just don't make the console another failure. The handheld's obviously going to sell more and all with the bigger install base out of the two platforms, but yeah.

 

[Z25]

This! I also hope and could see this happen with the NX. The wii u has a good lineup but it's very spaced out which made it suffer. However it would be good for the NX to have this, as the really successful ones can benefit greatly by being available on the NX.

I know it's just before the Direct and I don't want to seem like I deflated some of the hype by saying this. I'll still watch it and hope you have fun! But I've occasionally spent too much time on the website, even a few hours in a row or constantly get distracted or something. I have to focus on my studies especially since Im struggling in half of my a levels and in 3 weeks there's a second mock and soon after that the real deal. During my time at speculation I got many things right and many things wrong, got things I didn't want and got things I did want including my top 3 choices (pictured) so I feel very fortunate.

So here's a quick shoutout off the top of my head to @Frostwraith, @N30N, @PushDustIn, @Nintenzilla, @Azure Warrior, A Distant Demon , @Burruni, Cutie Gwen , @Ark of Silence101 @Ixbran @Scoliosis Jones @Only Human Z25 CrusherMania1592 @Diddy Kong @Kalimdori @memoryman3 @smashkirby all the people from my Bayonetta support thread, other support threads and anyone else I could have missed - it was great and thank you but it's time for me to move on.

It won't be permanent, probbably, and you could see me lurk every once in a while but it's gonna last at least until my summer holidays.

Incredibly honored to be quoted. Hope your school work for the rest of the year goes well!

My bad, sorry!

Also Ewbi had 4 unannounced wii u games, right? Anyone remember when they said that?

 

[Z25]

on the leak?
He had two of them. He revealed the full lineups for both systems.

He brought up PM to, but that's the only wii u titles revealed from his un revealed this. But those are the only two NX title he mentioned I believe.

We also have reason from Square, to believe they are porting the new Dragon quest to it as well.

EDIT: I wonder when we will see the other wii u titles.

I also imagine N stars will be an E3 reveal.

 

[Solfiner]

I'm 100% sure that the NX is gonna be backwards compatible. Nintendo is all about that, and they wouldn't want people to miss out on some of the amazing Wii U titles.

 

[Deleted member]

This would be my regular theme when you fight me in a Pokémon battle.

 

[Soul.]

When we talk about backward compability, I thought PowerPC was literally dead for the consoles. The handheld has like, what, ARM???

I dunno, maybe it will have that. Honestly at this point I just want both platforms to have the same architecture, as said in previous presentations.

 

[Z25]

This remix and channel is really good!

It's the reason why I generally wait a year or two on consoles before buying them.
For one the price can be marked down, and there's more games to both play and look forward to.

This is the mentality that I adopted after the Wii U's Launch. I mean, it was a present, but I'd rather just take the money and wait if there isn't any real reason to buy the console yet. Not only would I get the console at a cheaper price (and probably bundled with a really good game or two), but I'd also be able to use the rest of that money on discounted launch titles.

 

[Coricus]

Nice, but. . .

There's no such thing as a "Boss Battle" in the mainline games.

What is it supposed to refer to? Gym Leader? Team Admin/Commander? Team Leader? Box Legendary? Assorted Legendary?

It sounds like either a Team Leader or Box Legendary theme due to the tone, but, well-

WAIT A MINUTE, THAT WAS YOU WILL KNOW OUR NAMES FOR A MOMENT IN THE CHAMPION THEME!! . . .Yup, description confirms.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I've been thinking.

I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that a proper Mario and Sonic crossover will not happen. But I wonder why they don't try to expand the Mario and Sonic series beyond the Olympics.

Mario and Sonic Party
Mario and Sonic RPG
Mario and Sonic Sports games (aside from the Olympics)

It bothers me that they still stick with the Olympics even though they can do more with a crossover with these characters. Heck, I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to accept an RPG if we won't get a platformer.
