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

[A Distant Demon]

My impatience for news of Pikmin 4 grows ever so much.

I believe Miyamoto said it was "very close to completion" if that's true, why hold off on so much as one other little teaser for so long?

Probably because that would mean teasing the NX


Miyamoto plz we can only wait for so long ;_;

 

[Aetheri]

I keep forgetting Pikmin 4 is even a thing...could be due to the fact that all we really got about the game was basically just...'coming soon'

My experience with Pikmin pretty ends on two player bingo with a buddy of mine...outside of that I haven't really played it that much...

----

In other news I may be getting the New 3DS afterall since I figured out how to spend money on my Sears gift I barely touched outside of the store...Prepaid Mastercard!!

I'm waiting to squeeze out some of that fruit juice in Pikmin 4.
In Pikmin 4, it's so good to collect fruit.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Miyamoto plz we can only wait for so long ;_;

You're probably right on that.

On the bright side there's no way it'll be in a case of development hell like Pikmin 3, right?

Are you a visitor... from the future? Because I don't know how you could know that it's "so good" to collect fruit in game that isn't out yet.

 

[Erureido]

I finally finished Birthright today.

Spoiler

Chapter 27 had a challenging map, but I was able to get through it by using Ryoma+Kagero to bait most of the enemy units and then have my other units finish them off.

The endgame map on the other hand... now that was a real toughy. I know I could've used Hexing Rods to lower Dragon Garon's HP, but I forgot to do that. Anyway, I had Rinkah+Kaden aim for the enemies at the lower left, Sakura+Subaki and Silas+Hinoka take the lower right enemies, Oboro+Takumi focus on the enemies on the middle left, and then everyone else handle the middle right while Ryoma and myself tried to stay close to Dragon Garon. A General hit me hard, and I had to use Azama twice (thanks to Azura) to heal myself while Ryoma went in for Dragon Garon. Thank goodness Ryoma got at least one crit! I sadly lost Azura and Rinkah, though Kaden did very well on his own. I also tried to get a hit on Dragon Garon myself but missed, so I had Takumi land the final blow... with a critical hit! My favorite unit and my favorite royal sibling landing the final blow like that was very satisfying!

And poor Azura, my wife in this route. She died for good in the ending because the song kills her... well, more like the pendant does since the song is the trigger, but you get the point. It was sad, but nowhere as sad as Elise and Xander's deaths.

Ryoma's coronation was a nice ending scene. All the Hoshido siblings, minus Ryoma, cry a bit at some point: Hinoka and Sakura cry watching Ryoma become the new king and think about Azura, while Takumi tries to act strong during the coronation but then loses it when they discuss Azura. Also, Camilla and Leo are there, and it turns out Leo will be the next king. That surprised me because Camilla is next in line, but she explains that she isn't in ruling Nohr.

I absolutely loved the following cutscene! It opens with you riding with Hinoka on her pegasus as she turns to and says that she always wanted to take you flying. You see your younger siblings below as Sakura asks how's the view while Takumi tells you to be careful. When you arrive, Ryoma can be seen praying to a Mikoto statue, and he then goes on about a speech about living on her legacy of peace. As Ryoma turns to you, Hinoka affectionately grabs your hand and takes you to Ryoma as you finally have a true family reunion with the conclusion of the war.

For me, I loved the cutscene because of the Hinoka and Corrin moments. At the moment, I like Hinoka more and I find her devotion to the Corrin in the familial and friend way very sweet. I know Camilla has the more motherly personality towards Corrin, hence why people prefer her over Hinoka, but I guess I like Hinoka's approach to Corrin more.

And with that, I'm finally starting Conquest tonight. To my Hoshido siblings, I'm truly sorry that I'm going to depart, I hate to do it because I've become so attached to every single one of you, but now, I want to see how the Nohr family will bond with me, especially Xander because his death in Birthright really moved me.

I'm still 100% positive it's on the NX only and will be a launch title.

Could show off graphics well, a popular series, offers innovative gameplay and challenges.

wouldn't be bad to have it alongside any other titles they are planning.

Yes, I'm Captain Louie from the future, and I can tell you that because of the many of these fruits...

*munching Pikpik carrots*

...are ones I've been eating for the past couple of days.

I'M JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE!

Perfect!

Is splatoon worth it...

I'm considering buying it with my gift card

Well.
Honestly.
I'd say the single player experience alone is worth $15.
And I'm someone who normally is very selective about my shooters, only really getting into Halo and THAT was for the story.
I've probably sunk over 50 hours into splatoon because it's such a damn enjoyable game with an actual arsenal of weaponry that changes entire playstyles and combinations of modes and stages to keep you on your toes.
I dropped it for a bit after I hit 20 before the level cap increase and I find myself fumbling, happily for the most part, through it again.

I mean I seriously saw it was a GOTY contender and this is for a genre I stay the hell away from. That's about the best vote of confidence I can put behind it.

...isn't that the Fine Bros. theme?
...does this mean...that Nintendo has power over reactions now too?

What is your reaction to this discovery?



I see Our resident Moderating Marsupial was quite quick to get in on the Mario Day celebration. For once his status of "Festive avatar" makes sense again!

That's really neat that they made a little video to celebrate.

And apparently the power to make the video break!


EDIT: The thumbnail only makes it look broken.

Still stuck in Ryokusame's Castle with the Fire Porters giving him hell.

The samurai will make his way to Super Mario Maker once he gets to the true antagonist of the story, Mary O.

I love this gif so much! It be hilarious if they actually got permission to play that to.

So what you mean to tell me that Mario...is actually Palkia AND Dialga?

 

[A Distant Demon]

If the alert theme started playing in an official Nintendo video I the hype would be tangible.

Metal Gear NX? Snake in smash? We all know damn well people would flip the **** out.

 

[AreJay25]

Mario controlling time is nothing new.

How could you all forget such an important game?

 

[Z25]

I just watched that video and all I could think about throughout it was this:

" Once a year, the jolly old Italian plumber by the name of Mario, celebrates a day named just for him! As part of this day, Mario will sneak into the offices of good businessmen and women, and bring joy to all! He brings coins and music! Toys and gifts all around! He even gives especially good people super power ups! Maybe if you are good this year, the jolly plumber will visit you!"

 

[Kingslime304]

I really wish that the true origin of DK's Neutral special was the Banana Slamma from the cartoon.
(Because I kind of want the DK cartoon to be represented in Smash in anyway)

Ah I remember this game. It was just as good as Mario is Missing, but lacking the thing that truly made it good.

I'd want to see this! Or imagine if there's just one scene where mario's sneaking around, and goes to open a door labeled
"newly brought ips!" And for an adjacent door, Snake comes out, does the choke move and drags mario away.

Snake: " Colonel, I did it! The intruder has been apprehended!"

Fans go ballistic!

I'd like to see them revisit this concept. Except, you now, less sucky.

Found out girl I was interested in for a while is already with a guy. Saw her with him.

I guess it's better I never did try and talk with her. I also guess I have no one else to be interested in.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

One thing I really hope for when watching Sakurai's stream is that not a single Reptilian show up like the last time.

I have my boomstick prepared for when they do hiss like the confused cobras they are.

Ugh, don't get me started on Leafalike's obnoxious cult of wannabe scaleys. The last thing I need to see is another chain of "HIISSSS!" comments in this stream like the last one.

Honestly.
I'm just gonna say it.
I'm a little surprised that Nintendo never tried to redo Hey You! Pikachu! with the handhelds once we started getting Mics in them.

Dog person for sure....

One of my favourite pets that I ever had was a Black Lab (RIP)...Wolves are one of my favourite animals also...I just like canines in general...
Cat are awesome too, but I'd rather a dog given the choice...

 

[Con0rrrr]

I'm surprised we didn't get a Pokemon Ranger on Wii U.

Ranger would have been perfect. Gameplay on the bottom screen. HD Full 3D action on the top screen.

 

[Aetheri]

There's only one pokemon game that we should've gotten for the Wii U....

Spoiler

We didnt get pokemon snap when we have had multiple perfect controller opportunites.

Not getting Pokekmon Ranger doesnt surprise me.

EDIT one second too slow

This seems like the appropriate way to respond to those fakers:

. . .IDK. I lost my train of thought as to why. Or maybe it was Insane Troll Logic all along.
