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

[Ura]

N64 was my first system back in 2000 when I was just 5 years old and one of the first games I played was Smash Bros so in a way Smash is something that's been with me even before Grade School.

 

[ChikoLad]

****, I keep forgetting I bought XIII a couple of weeks ago because I got it in a bargain deal.

I should probably start it soon. But considering I'm playing the PSX FF games, I'd rather not be disappointed by their successors.

XIII is fine as long as you don't go into it expecting it to be something it isn't.

IX and XIII are both my favourite FF games/sagas (in the case of XIII). Even though they are both at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Probably before any non-Smash Pokémon amiibo because Pokémon Company.

Speaking of amiibo:

They look very nice.

Also, this came out today too, in the US:

If you plan on buying any amiibo soon, you can get this game for free with any of them in most major retailers, so maybe buy them soon if you want any.

i want the kirby one so bad!

Meta Knight looks really good

Dedede looks like crap

 

[Coricus]

Meta Knight looks really good

Dedede looks like crap

Agreed.

It's the face, isn't it?

The current non-Smash model of Dedede has a face that bothers me.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Waddle Dee looks the best.

 

[wedl!!]

Dedede looks like crap

don't infract me for this

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm a little more critical of Dedede because he's one of my favorite Nintendo characters

 

[Ura]

don't infract me for this

Dedede is secretly a Golden Sun fan I see.

 

[Kingslime304]

Reminder that both Robin, and Corrin can do shoryukens with their swords in their games.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Miitomo delayed?!

I wonder what happened....

 

[Ura]

Don't really care about Miitomo TBH. Not interested in the concept in the same way i'm not interested in Amiibo's.

Also ChikoLad adding on to what I was saying before while i'm happy Isaac is in SSF2 and I like his moveset they gave him I don't like the fact that he's being voiced by a female. Isaac is like 17 years old so he should be voiced by a male. This is the same issue I had in Brawl with Isaac's voice. Really hate it when women are cast with teen/adult male roles.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

That's literally his satire account.

Prove it
Before you go "OH IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S JUST THAT YOU IDIOTS DON'T GET IT" like you do with your Rosalina statements, remember he defended this 'satire account' by claiming the more you rant at stuff regardless if it's genuine or petty, it just says you have a biiiiiig heart and should be loved. If a little kid ran up to you, kicked you in the shins, stole your Rosalina amiibo, ran away, and when you track the ****** down and then says "I'm shy with strangers" would you accept that as a valid excuse? Hyperbole? Maybe. But Saltblock has proven time and time again hey has no ****ing clue what he's talking about and just wants attention

Lol I thought the same but once I got.it I started to use it for the wrong reason:

The Miifoto editor is unquestionably the best thing about Miitomo. It's so glorious to use with lots of liberty to make such awesome images like this

Or

How much is this game?

It's actually free.

It's actually free.

How are they making money off of this?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

How are they making money off of this?

How did they make money off of Miiverse? Also, I presume ads

 

[SuperMii3D]

How are they making money off of this?

Like every good mobile game, there are microtransactions within. The only thing you can purchase, as far as I'm aware of, is in-game currency. It has over a million downloads in Japan so it's gotta be raking in some money.

How did they make money off of Miiverse? Also, I presume ads

Actually, I haven't seen any ads. So I'm assuming the microtransactions are pulling their weight here.

 

[PushDustIn]

Yeah you can buy Miitomo coins if you want to, but it's not a requirement. I have 35 friends, and it's really easy to finish the daily goals for the My Nintendo points. Need to decide if I'll get Twilight Princess Picross or WarioWare Touch now.

It must be a lot easier to make friends since you live in Japan xD Being here in the States no one really has it, much less where I live.

 

[Coricus]

I (re-)came across the Hate Dumb and Fan Dumb pages of TV Tropes while Wiki Walking on it.

. . .I don't know, sometimes I see things on them that remind me of when things go wrong in this fandom, too.

It might be interesting to read them once in a while to see if you recognize or think you recognize any fandom or hatedom issues. I would highly recommend you to read both if you do read them, though. Reading just one would make for a fairly one-sided view, after all.

I would even go so far as to say that I discovered that I had Theocratic issues while reading it one time. It's a personal problem I need to work on, but I think I've at least made some slight progress moving away from it.

YAY!!!

Seems he's being restricted to a power up role.

 

[Chandeelure]

Seems he's being restricted to a power up role.

Yeah, like in Triple Deluxe, but it's OK!
He is in the game! I was worried about that.

And his name Bandana Waddle Dee was mentioned again, that's cool too.

 

[Coricus]

0:58

YAY!!!

Congrats! I can hear your squees of joy through my computer screen. They sound like the voices of angels.

So Planet Robobot helps rather than hurts (or at least keeps neutral) Bandana Dee's chances of being in Smash, as they're still keeping him in steady use even if his role is less direct than being P4 in RTD or having an active role in Canvas Curse's plot.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Seems he's being restricted to a power up role.

He's replaced Adeleine!

 

[Chandeelure]

It's weird how Bandana Dee is not with Dedede in Triple Deluxe, Rainbow Curse and now Planet Robobot.
Maybe he doesn't work for him anymore?

He's replaced Adeleine!

Who?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

What if Bandana Dee went rouge?

As in he saw himself as better than a minion and just helps his friends.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

All kirby has to do is run into waddle dee to defeat him. Not even eat him

I got 90% of my friends through people following the SG Twitter Account. So, if you connect your Twitter to Miitomo you guys can add me!

Also, I'll be meeting Hashimoto and Kamiya tomorrow. Still trying to decide on a question for them. Trying to think of something that they can answer, but haven't yet is kind of difficult. For example, I could ask him working with Sakurai with regards to Bayonetta, but Kamiya might not be allowed to answer that. I might ask him what kind of fans does he imagine while making a game, but if you guys have better ideas let me know.

Since the free talk is 30 minutes, and there are other people, I only expect to get one question in (maybe two if I'm lucky). That's why I'm overthinking this, lol.

 

[Deleted member]

I still have no idea what and why you guys were discussing in the last few pages but, oh well

Anyways, is Miitomo out already? One of my friends has it but I can't seem find it on the Play Store

If you are in the US, here's a website that tells you how to install it.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

For some reason I just can't get hyped for Planet Robobot, I really love the Kirby franchise and I absolutely adored Return to Dreamland (Triple Deluxe was okay-ish), but even with the robots it just feels like more of the same. I think the franchise could do with a game that shakes up the general formular, similarly to how Amazing Mirror did at its time, when you use the same engine so often there really has to be something new and creative for it to be worth its own game, not just a new overpowered powerup at the end of some of the stages.

 

[Deleted member]

I'll just wait for it to be officially released then. I was just confused because he had been posting Miitomo screenshots the whole week yet people here were saying it got delayed
But thanks anyways

 

[RodNutTakin]

so in a ye olde kirby thread on 4chan somebody suggested the idea of a Kirby first world, consisting of a forest that would catch fire halfway through (a bit like with Angel Island from Sonic 3,) and you would fight a flaming burnt version of Whispy Woods at the end

also by the way, for those who haven't used up their spring break, what do you plan to do for that occasion?

 

[ChikoLad]

The man has flat out stated that it's is his satire account, and literally every post is tongue in cheek, as is the name, meaning he hasn't just said it's a satire account, but the content he posts is DEFINED as being satire. What more proof do you want, a stamped and signed letter in writing?

Also I do prove my Rosalina statements (dunno why you bring that example up but whatever), and many other things, you're just not very good at accepting proof when it doesn't agree with you, and often respond with emotional and impulsive ****posts (you even had a status reflecting this at one point).

Case in point, your terrible hypothetical scenario there - a little kid would never run up to me, kick me in the shins, and steal (any of my 3) Rosalina amiibo, because:

A) I know that walking around out in public with video game merchandise, especially something rare and hard to find like a Rosalina amiibo, is ASKING to have someone attempt to steal it.

B) If a little kid kicked me in the shins, I wouldn't flinch. I literally worked at a special needs school as an SNA and bus escort, taking kicks and what not was part of the day job, sometimes from "kids" as old as 17 (that's probably older and more physically capable than some people in this thread). So that's not gonna help the kid in stealing my stuff.

The only person who doesn't seem to have any idea what they are talking about and the only person fitting of the nickname "Saltblock" right now, is you.

 

[PushDustIn]

If you guys continue this argument, you will find yourselves with infractions.

 

[N3ON]

Lol of course you have three Rosalina amiibo

 

[Chandeelure]

Still stronger than Adeleine, she dies in one hit with any attack (including the air spit attack) and even worse, that's when she is possessed by Dark Matter.
At least Bandana Dee has the normal health of a boss, except if you inhale him.
And he didn't even have his spear or parasol, I don't think that was fair.
Kirby is not honorable like Meta Knight XD
