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

So this is kind of funny.
(https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoNX..._a_aaa_dev_who_actually_works_with_a_real_nx/)
There's one guy who is claiming that he's an actual dev working with the console and is doing an AMA lol. It's already got 300 comments xD.

Oops missed this post.


NeoGAF is making it sound like this guy is full of **** and they know more about this stuff than I do (notice how many times i've been linking them recently? ). DDR5 apparently isn't a real thing so bogus if it wasn't already apparent.

He could've meant GDDR5, but who knows really.

 

[Coricus]

Alright, question:

How much design change does a console typically go through between copyright and release, if any?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Nope

When asked "GDDR or DDR" he specified DDR

The NX leaker is probably full of it, but Q and A's are always funny, so it's worth reading.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I love the ridiculous, but there is a point where things go a tad too far.

Come on Swamp, don't judge a book by it's cover.

 

[Coricus]

So the fake leaker currently being discussed drew a picture of the remote?

Spoiler

. . .I rather doubt it. The copyright specifically mentions and demonstrates an elliptical shape and specifically points out the handles of the remote on the diagram. I don't know how far they're going to stray from the original design, but it's probably not quite this far.

Then again, it was already determined fake in the first place, I just felt like comparing it to the copyright diagram.

*EDIT* Also I feel like I should mention that I really like the idea of the remote having handles and that I'm pretty happy that the info I'm looking at seems to indicate their presence.

I wonder what's inside those books.

Spoiler: probably something like this

What? what did you expected?

You also supported the further production of Yo-Kai Watch games and materials by buying that toy, regardless of your intentions for it.

What makes this better is how the watermark shows you didn't buy this from Shutterstock too

Looks like HAL's not kidding when they say they want to try a 3D Kirby, looks solid for a prototype 3D level, and Masher from the anime is now canon. Looked like he'd give Kirby an ability based on how he didn't blow up immediately

Is that a mobile game?

Or a new minigame?

Reminds me of the mini-game from Kirby 64 where you try to drop the blocks from people's feet and let them fall to their demise.

I too would like to know more about this. A 3D Kirby like Air-Ride or just an open world Kirby platformer (would that even work?) would be fun to play.

 

[Zane13pyro]

The EU eshop has a demo for Pokken, so people can try it out!

I wanna it

Minigame in Robobot

Considering this resembles an scrapped version of Kirby Wii, this might be their first style

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think watching these videos online is somewhat good for me, because I see these people being criticized for what I feel is absurd actions and major hypocrisy. They seem like spoiled brats.

But I also notice some similarities to how I used to be in the past and how I am now and realize there is stuff about myself I need to change. I need to grow up. I'm 30 now

I hope that this was a test run for a full game.

Looks pretty good.

 

[Fenriraga]

I'm at the very least expecting 'DX' versions of these two games like with Dedede's Drum Dash and Kirby Fighters.

The resemblance is definitely here too.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I really don't think they could make a full game out of that.

It's a mini game with a series of skill tests using the kirby engine.

Such as "Can you kill all these waddle dees with a single star spit"

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Resident Evil Vendetta, a CGI film, is coming out net year.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I was reading a lot into identity politics and all that junk

How do multi racial people fit into it though?

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to identify as white or what. I could probably pass for white if no one knew

In questionnaires I always check the "multiracial" option

I'm on chapter 4 of Fire Emblem Fates.

Spoiler

Is it even possible to keep every character alive in this chapter? Seriously, what the ****?

Does Zelda Wii U still excist or what?? This game hasn't even been mentoined for months now. What's up with that?

Also I just found out that Capcom has a survey asking fans if they want another Mega Man game and/or other Mega Man series games.

"Mega Man X - Elf Wars" when?

Also on the topic of Mega Man X, I just watched some of the newest Mega Man X: Corrupted videos after forgetting about it for a few years.

I need this game in my life, Phoenix Armour looks OP af

Are you playing on Lunatic or what? All chapters until 6 are supposed to be tutorial levels
Also, the only character that can pernanently die in the first 6 chapters is your gendered servant, aka Jakob or Felicia

I try to play Classic but not having any savestates REALLY bothers me. Like, I could be doing good in a map, but I have to prioritize coming back to it rather than playing another file otherwise the benchmark is deleted and I have to start from the beginning.

O well. I reset anytime my units die in Casual anyways so :^)

Aw she looks so adorable. I wish I had the spending money to purchase these things, they look great. ^^

I just don't play Casual for the Battle Saves because I'm pretty sure I'd end up letting someone "die" and keep going and that would feel like cheating imo
But having to redo an entire map because I forgot the boss has Countermagic is bull****
I'm a conflicted person

 

[ChikoLad]

That 3D Kirby mini-game looks interesting but I hope it isn't what a full 3D Kirby game would be like.

Like it looks fine for a mini-game since they're just testing things out, but I would much prefer something akin to Super Mario 64 or Spyro the Dragon in terms of how the levels are designed if we get a full game (Kirby Air Ride kinda teases it with City Trial). I think having an open 3D environment, with rolling hills and dynamic geometry and all that, would be a much better showcase of Kirby in 3D then if they made a full game with static and blocky environments like this mini-game. Because right now, it just looks like the original Kirby game with an extra 4 directions to walk in. Adding copy abilities to that wouldn't make it much more interesting. If anything, I think it would make the already easy Kirby games, even easier, since at least 2D spaces can be more easily compact and crammed with intelligent obstacles for Kirby.

Just my two cents. I'm looking forward to the mini-game and I hope it has a decent amount of levels, but I hope it's just them showing off the vaguest idea of "3D Kirby", rather than "this is exactly the kind of gameplay and level design we would use for a 3D Kirby game".

Well just got back from Batman vs Superman.
It's really... messy. It's got plenty of good points and plenty of bad points that it's just... OK I guess?

Sonic Colors had one heck of an easter egg:

Seriously, this amazing. Such a shame that most player are not likely to hear while playing the stages.
