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

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Umm...

Wii Cross.
If true, not the best name they could have chosen, at all.

I've actually rather been fond of the name NX, I'm kind of hoping that name sticks.

 

[Wario Bros.]

6 days until I can have Maximilian fight Arbiter.
Oh and the tease they'll probably have in the launch trailer.
When's Gargos already?

We already know of a leak on two characters. So maybe one of them will be shown off on launch. And I agree that the wait for Gargos (and Eyedol) to complete the retro cast is weird.

But I am a little upset I can't download/obtain the Shadow Jago character due to the distribution ended...

 

[Substitution]

To be fair, this is the same company who called a new 3DS "New 3DS", so anything is possible.

So our good friend/enemy/whatever you want to call him Tama is claiming the controller leak is fake.

Friend of mine from NoE says that the 'NX images' are completely fake.

Take this how you will.

At this point we can only hope Tama. We can only hope...

Tamaki jumps on any rumor these days it's kind of annoying. It's like he has to be involved in everything.

His buddy at NoE also was certain Shovel Knight was going to be a playable character in Smash. That shows how "in the know" his buddy is.

 

[Schnee117]

Eyedol

The team apparently don't like Eyedol much. But you still gotta have Eyedol at some point if Gargos is happening.

And so does GameXplain, and Etika, and quite a few guys now that I think about it.

It's like a little reunion every time some leak comes up.

 

[Z25]

More like it's bad enough to be true.

Using the Wii brand was one of the main things that sealed the Wii U's early death bed.

Which is exactly what I meant.
The cross is decent, wii is just bad to attach to it.

I'm still 50/50 but at the same time, his sources have fallen flat lately, and if they do work at NOE, then they could try to be doing damage control by using a popular leaker to control the fire.

Otherwise reliable sources can sometimes be incorrect. Like Nikkei.

No need to go condemning them like they've never done anything worth acknowledging, over one mistake.

 

[Aetheri]

Am I the only person that actually didn't have any problems with the final boss in XCX?

I mean in Chapter 9 and 10 I was starting to lose my sanity but after that I didn't have too many issues with the game's story...

Are we sure it's the same 'buddy' though? And even if it is, that doesn't make him wrong in this particular case as Tama has gotten other things right through his other sources (including the recent direct rumor).

I'm not saying that he's right and this is a load of crap, but I do feel that taking a strict stance on this is not a good idea.

 

[Deleted member]

This doesn't even sound as dumb as how they're only doing this now

5 phases. Phase 2 has 7 bosses who take 1 damage in Skells. Remember, 2500 HP is normal for weak enemies. The 7 bosses can make the target invincible, can buff it and heal it. Lose a Skell, it's not coming back

I taste the salt coming from you
I said it once and I'll say it again: git gud

I didn't know Arnold from Hey Arnold was going to be the basis for the NX controller.

The final boss was one of the chapters I had the least problem with.

I actually forced my team out of their skells because we were killing it too fast

I agree that taking a strict stance is not a good idea. Even if the initial leaks are real, that doesn't make every associated leak or horrified assumption correct, either. But once people go into panic mode, they automatically start assuming every worst case scenario is true.

The NX leak does look pretty convincing, but I'll let this guy make his case as well.

I had problems with the last two phases of the final boss, I hate the last two phases of that boss. I was only able to beat him because H.B. use trash talk and taunted all the enemies and i was able to overdrive him to hell. The other phases was easy to me.

[Deleted member]

You know, i completely forgot that the name NX is acutally just a Codename, rather than the "official" name of the console.

 

[Burruni]

Guys, I have a question. Should I keep trying to beat XCX's final boss despite it being annoying as ****, or should I just simply look it up on YT. There's nothing else I can do at this point

Just look it up. That boss is an annoynace more than a challenge.

You know, i completely forgot that the name NX is acutally just a Codename, rather than the "official" name of the console.

Just things like....
Project Dolphin - GC
Nintendo Revolution - Wii

 

[N3ON]

I'll reserve final judgment until I actually have one in my hands, but that controller just doesn't look fun to use.

I really wish it was possible to join in too, but apparently things are still a bit out of reach for those who are on 5.5+...... :/

I think I should probably just go ahead and model some more characters and stages......

 

[Wario Bros.]

Did GoNintendo really need to share an article that Nintendo isn't commenting on the NX controller rumor?

They should know by now that Nintendo NEVER comments on rumors or leaks regardless if it's real or not.

I prefer these tbh

Two more pics of parts of the starters I posted earlier have shown up and 4chan is trying to peace them together.

The emu is pretty cool though:

No one has an accurate placement of the grass one's eye yet, so that's placeholder.

Don't understand why malmar is here, but it looks intriguing....

Knowing Nintendo's brand naming these days, NX will probably be the real name after all. :/

Ok this should definitely be in the next sonic game:

Second that.

I at least want to see how the game's files are organised, and what my restrictions are regarding things like animated textures and vertex mods.

I put my Cosmic Spirit mod on hiatus because I was having trouble with getting the texture to animate and wrap around everything properly. But I actually don't know if animated textures are something that need to be done in Blender or if it's like, a script in the game.

Right now I'm just working on a vertex mod instead since it's a bit easier than trying to animate that texture.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

After all this time I finally found where you listen to the soundtracks you buy off steam. Please tell me they only added that recently.

Same here. Currently I'm just trying to make some custom models for a few characters. I'm not sure if we have reached a stage yet where that's possible but it seems like they are currently working on being able to import character models and stages into the game.

But overall, I would appreciate it if it was possible to actually be able to try the mods out for myself and see what's currently possible and what's not. But apparently the dev's are still waiting for Nintendo to release a new system update that patches their current exploit so that might take a while....

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, pretty much. They save up the trouble of having to remind people that *Insert "official" name of the NX here* is the NX, just under a different title.

After all, the Nintendo DS was originally just a codename, but they later decided to stick to it.

Ok this should definitely be in the next sonic game:

If Dr. Eggman ever gets into Smash as a playable character, we need this as the song that plays during the trailer.

This song is basically the reason i call Dr. Eggman "Dr. Eggman" rather than Dr. Robotnik. I mean i think Robotnik sounds cooler, but this song......my god, i love it.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I'm cool with no physical buttons if Nintendo end ups having this sort of solution:

Which actually looks like it might be a thing according to this patent:

 

[wedl!!]

"ban this month old character1!!!!!!!!"

Yea I think I'm done with this game for a... good while.

 

[Nirbion]

This would be pretty fantastic actually, Spazzy. Sure, it wouldn't replace the "real" buttons, but it would be a good compromise.
But nah, won't happen, my theory is the only truth
