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

[Godzillathewonderdog]

They need to bring back Onimusha. That franchise was a critical and financial success. I have no idea why they just decided to stop making games.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Spore shouldn't have ended

They had promised so many awesome expansions, more parts

Maybe it could have had a nice sequel

But it's piracy stuff and people complaining it wasn't accurate to evolution killed it before it's time

Still, I've played 1000 hours on it.

I wish spore had better mods. It could make up for the lack of expansions

What killed it for me was them making one of the expansions exclusive to a soft drink promotion that wasn't available in my country. Last desperate grab for cash before abandoning it.

Yeah, you can find that "Expansion" online.

Sure, you can't officially register it, but you can at least get it.

The steam version has no way of registering it even if you got it legit.

Today is the 10th anniversary to a great game.

 

[PushDustIn]

I know the upcoming day can be seen as a celebration for a certain substance. This is a friendly reminder/ warning that discussion around anything illegal on Smashboards is strictly prohibited everywhere on the board. Please be careful!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Don't do drugs.

Seriously. They're bad.

 

[FalKoopa]

As a linguist, the number of names we have for that substance, even only in English, bewilders me. I'll leave it there.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Remember kids

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I'll be honest, Lunaala reminded me Allah for some reason, and considering the crescent and star is a common symbol of Islam... it's not exactly farfetched.

Although Nintendo's policy of not having any sort of religious symbolism in games means that it's probably a coincidence.

Having anything remotely based on Allah will sure to draw harsh criticism from a certain group of cancer-inducing people...

Isn't Allah the same person as Yahweh? People draw Yahweh all the time

No, Trumpeters.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

No, Trumpeters.

Honestly, both the radical left and radical right would hate that move and as much as I don't like Trump, lets not turn the discussion to THAT.

 

[FalKoopa]

Yeah, let's steer away from politics.

So what is the the consensus about Solgaleo? I really want to think it's related to Galileo - he popularised the heliocentric theory and went blind from staring into the sun too much. It makes too much sense.

I looked up "sun and lion."

Neat.

Iran, huh? It is pretty underrepresented in games, I'm up for it.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I thought that a Hawaiian region having an Iranian reference would be bizarre, but then I remembered that New York has legendaries based on Taoism, a part of Japan had Hebrew legendaries and France had Norse legendaries.

The connection between the Arabic sounding moon legendary and this little find makes me think the legendaries will be based on Muslim/Arabic legends. First of their kind honestly. Not a lot of Middle Eastern Pokemon. The Regis, Weather trio and Jirachi all have Hebrew origins but that's it.

 

[FalKoopa]

Can't wait for the 1001 Pokénights then. Or even a Genie pokémon. That sounds great.

 

[Strofirko]

Expecting plenty of dissapointment today.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Having a Nintendo-themed zoo game would be pretty cool.

"Attention visitors, please do NOT feed Kirby"
Solgaleo and Lunaala? Solgaleo sounds badass and Lunaala sounds elegant, makes me want Moon more tbh

 

[Strofirko]

Stop media:
We already know the ones who are using the new 3ds success to white knight ps4k,are the same ones who sweared the most on the announcement of the former product.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Which non-Nintendo series do you wish had never died?

I want to say Earthworm Jim, but I think it'd be Banjo Kazooee.

I also loved Aero the Acrobat and the original Crash Bandicoots.

Man, the gaming world is ruthless nowadays. It's weird to think one company owns IPs and just lets them die... if I had an IP that I thought was dead I'd at least try sell it to someone who has an idea. For example if Nintendo wanted to buy BK but not Rare, Rare should sell it because they aint using it.

Obvs it's all political and money would get complicated but still.

Microsoft owning Rare Ltd. also pretty much prevented Diddy Kong Racing from ever seeing a return as a Virtual Console title; Rare owns Banjo and Conker, who are both in Diddy Kong Racing.

 

[New_Dumal]

So this thread is the old "NintenZone 3.0:"
Why the name changed with time ?

Any news about Nintendo or Nintendo discussion lately?
About Nintendo zoo, it would be awesome, but at the same time kind of weird.
I'm happy they prioritize to invest in a park, since Harry Potter park at Orlando works so well (and there's a Capcom park at JP, right?)

About Zoo Tycon, very funny game. I played much more than I should, when I actually think about it.
I used to create angry/hungry animals, and put them all together 1v1 to see what animal was "stronger" at the game (because they start to kill each other to eat). Guys.... don't **** with crocodiles.

Difference is how Sony can be arses about the stuff they copy. Microsoft had people pay for online, Sony does the same, but doesn't use it to fix their servers. Nintendo made it clear that most games don't need the N3DS, but knowing Sony they'll force the Neo down everyone's throats

Eh.

Next Level Games won't let us down. Their last entry on the 3DS was incredible.

Better than nothing - plenty of anniversaries go by unnoticed.

I'll take any excuse for Scott Pilgrim reference.





Also.


Happy Anniversary Okami AND Mother 3

This reminds me, here's a neat point about the lore( not necessary the region) in Sun and Moon being Chinese based

https://imgur.com/wGhUj6B

I had to upload it to Imgurr because it's to big for here. But I think it could happen, I found it the other day.
Thoughts?

Wouldn't you find questionable images either way? This is the internet after all.

True, at least these were human....

EDIT: More trademarks

They appear to be the starters, and sound like a fire tiger, grass crow, and water manatee. Which all sound pretty sweet. And one other mon. Maybe region bird or rodent?

And there is suppose to be one for Gregiki, but I haven't seen it yet.

 

[Burruni]

Man.
I'm probably the only one but.
When I saw "Sungaleo" my first thought went to Galileo and astronomy before Lions.

I was gonna bring up those extra trademarks in my next post....

Marshadow I think fits more of a third to the sun & moon than a "generic."

Nyabby yes probably is gonna be a Fire Lion, then we have punmenship with Moku (wood) and Crow.

Ashimari... I'm not sure the words at hand so I have no stand on the "species."

Also absurd we got the same leak kind twice in a row for the same damn game(s).

 

[ChikoLad]

I wake up everyday and there's a new NX rumour being reported by some Nintendo news site.

This is gonna be one *******' console if they're all real. :V

Is it the new Emily Rogers post?



Yeah the NX has had so many rumors you would think the thing would have been leaked already. That crazy NDA must be terrifying. . .

 

[Deleted member]

Ah yes, 4/20. The day of something quite contreversial, it will get people arguing in two seconds. Some love it, a few are dangerously are addicted to it, but the most hate it.

Spoiler

 

[ChikoLad]

4/20, eh?

Time to celebrate by blazin' it...

Spoiler

...AT SPEEDS THAT MAKE THE FAST MAN PROUD

 

[Burruni]

Welp, for Ashimari what I found is.
Ashi = leg or foot, evil, bullrush and reed.
マリ 's particular way of writing Mari... which only came up as either the Republic of Mali or Mari from the Evangelion reboots.
The word itself meaning "ball" but has expressions which extend into Marine.

I think.

This is as far as google took me.

Also couldn't find a match for the rest of Nyabby's name. "匕一" being as close as I got but the third kanji is missing the additional "ticks" in the upper right.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I like these names. However, no Star Platinum Pokemon 0/10

Review embargo is lifted and Star Fox Zero reviews are showing up.


From an early interpretation it seems likenthe controls will make ot break it for people. I loved Uprising which was the same way so i'll gove it the benefit of the doubt

 

[Chrono.]

General consensus for SFZ seems to be that it's just "okay".

Except for Giant Bomb's Dan who destroyed the game.

 

[Burruni]

Yeah since E3 the biggest complaint seems to be "You can't not use gyro controls" for SF-Zero.

Nintendo better invest on a Peppy game next time:
