Ladies and Gentlemen, I am officially a naughty boy.

ChikoLad If you still have that Cosmic Rosalina you made, and you would still be interested in making an English Cloud mod, I'd love you forever. :V

I never finished the Cosmic Spirit mod because it was unclear for a while how to make edited models work in the game itself and I had no way of testing.

I have been looking into the Wii U hacking though. I can't do it right now as I am in my dad's house and don't have my Wii U with me. I am also quite busy lately, both in terms of IRL stuff and in terms of other game design related projects, so I'm not sure Cosmic Spirit will be a thing any time soon.

English VA Cloud should be pretty easy to do though. I'll look into that soon.

That's too bad. But thanks for looking into Cloud. Surprised it hasn't been done yet.

I mean I'll probably still do Cosmic Spirit as best as I can. I just need to get whatever tool is required, as I believe you need a specific program. Once I get that it should be fine. I'm just juggling a lot right now.

Beep Booooooooooooooooooooooooop!!

In 10 minutes, we met you, loved you, see you grow as a better person and then die.

Pretty sure most of you guys forgot or just lost care about this

But I thought this was a pretty good video that describes the importance of poses and the messages they send and give better insight on the "Tracer butt" controversy (which only blew up because people just want to see T&A unabated (^: )

 

[Chrono.]

Is voice modding in Smash 4 too complicated atm?

I wanna look into adding an Eng VA to Roy (maybe Marth too).

This is also another great episode. Really sad to. I liked how:

Spoiler

It showcases how the show's main theme is that all evil has good within. Even the mindless robots were able to be changed through wonder's actions in the end. It was sad but really well done imo. If you keep watching, I think you'll really enjoy the episode The party poopers. It's a pretty neat episode, a it's potty humor based, but with good justification, and has a pretty good lesson in the end.

 

[Chandeelure]

Did you guys already talk about this?

Is it just an error or what?
More than Zelda?

 

[Aetheri]

I'm willing to bet that Prime 4 will be revealed in the NX Direct later this year. Not necessarily an NX launch title but at least a year or 2 after the NX's launch.

I do hope you're right but I'm not optimistic about us getting a metroid title for NX's launch...Last year after FF's announcement at e3, I think Tanabe stated something like 'If we were to start a Prime 4 now it wouldn't be ready until after the NX has been released'...which has me believe they didn't even start since last year...and I have reason to believe they still didn't even start since they are likely still working on FF due to it being delayed til August this year...

and I don't think we'll get any announcements for any games that aren't coming to the NX at launch...though they could make an exception for Metroid due to fan demand, but it's not always the best route announcing a game too early, like what happened with KH3 for example...

Yeah we did.

Sounds like a closed door thing, they usually have one or two of these at E3.

Not sure if this is for journalists, or retailers, or what, though.

Oh, OK, sorry haha, I didn't want to read all those pages.
Thanks.

 

[ChikoLad]

For a refresher, Nintendo had two closed doors events at E3 2014.

One revealed Pac-Man for Smash, the other unveiled Codename STEAM.

I don't know if this is the same kind of thing, but it might be the holy grail we need to save us from Zelda fever. Hopefully.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Just finished reading Thanos: The Infinity Finale.

Would you looks at that, who knew that Thanos of Titan would get such a happy ending?

We have, and in all honestly, I think we will learn of everything from it, in some sort of presentation, as I doubt its just Zelda at E3. I think they have some smaller presentation, which will be a summary of what investors got told, earlier on, or they might live stream it.

 

[Opossum]

This actually needs to be a thing with the other toys to life games.
Like a Mario Disney Infinity figure/amiibo that works only on Wii U. That would be great.

IIRC, Mario (and possibly Link as well) in Disney Infinity was under consideration as a cross-promotion for Nintendo, but it was decided against due to not wanting to make version-exclusive figures (especially after the reaction to the Tron figures originally being PC exclusive in 2.0) and wanting to keep a Disney focus.

So yeah, it may have actually happened in an alternate universe.

Completely unrelated to your post, but I'm listening to You Will Know Our Names from Xenoblade Chronicles, and it fits perfectly with your sig.

 

[Deleted member]

Remember when they announced Pac-Man at closed doors?

Remember when Nintendo later announced Pac-Man with a tweet?. No joke.

I also remember something similar happening with Codename Steam.

I'm all for cross-over toys-to-life figures, but I don't necessarily like Donkey Kong and Bowser being in Skylanders. They look off in that game, to me, and it feels like Activision just did it as a promotional thing, rather than it actually being a neat synergy between two companies. If they ever do that in DI, I hope they just do it better than Skylanders did, honestly.

 

[AndreaAC]

I take it the PPG reboot will be banned in Mexico?

Seriously, how is this even a thing?

Wow, that went a bit too far, I mean, I know that memes are annoying at times, but, to the point of wanting to "outlaw" them is just ridiculous.

And we have got far more stupid stuff on T.V. here in México than a show filled with memes I believe, like the "Telenovelas" ot "T.V. novels" or something like that.

Glad that I don't watch T.V. or pay that much mind to memes even if they were overused in the PPG and other series.

Yes. S.T.E.A.M. was announced at a closed doors event focus on a mystery 3ds title. Which everyone was angry because it wasn't MM3d. I could see this press conference working the same way.

I doubt anyone would be mad at exclusive guest figures as long as each version gets a guest (Mario for Wii U, Sackboy PlayStation), as opposed to Tron, which really shouldn't be exclusive for anything.
Still, keeping a Disney focus is completely understandable.

 

[Deleted member]

Wait, Didn't Nintendo mentioned that there was going to be a Nintendo World Championship 2016?

I think I heard of such.

Might as well do it if they don't have much else for E3.

Oh believe me, as someone who's been in the fandom for quite a while, even if they went that route, the DI fanbase would be up in arms. For a variety of reasons, really, but I doubt many people would be interested in me going into the details.

Spoiler: Wander over Y season 2 episode 27

That episode was just great :awesome songs, Hater develop and can now move on to find a girl that he deserve (and be a good guy?), Dominator is back with the power of sonic boom fire and ice and more Peepers and Sylvia, the most efficient team ever (aside from that one miscalculation)

Hater is truly the greatest : fought equal to equal with Dominater (before ice, but still) and is the only other villain free.

 

[Coricus]

I hope so.

I really don't mind if they skip out on E3 until they figure out what they want to do with it after the reception for all their non-Smash stuff has gone so badly for so long, but I hope they continue with the Championships if only so they can keep them active until they have more of an idea of what they really want to set up.

. . .

*looks up*

That said, from what I looked up they don't seem to have ever actually confirmed or denied it coming back, so there's no guarantee that it's coming back again or if it will be at E3 if it does.

 

[AreJay25]

Don't know if this was posted, but here's some more evidence that Crash might be coming back:

Another great episode! Honestly the whole show is really good, but as you stated, there are many great developments for this, and set up for a pretty nice finale to the story.

Now Side Note:

I have been learning advance map, to make a pokemon fan game. Learning the basics, and today I mapped the 1st town out:

Spoiler: Image

Thoughts? I wanted something different, so it will start in a rocky alley area. As for the exist? Well I plan to add in a cave, but this is the basic layout. I'll need to touch up the grass around the houses, but I think it's nice otherwise.

The lab is also smaller for reasons that would be explained within the game. Might make it normal size though.

unless your making the fire starter start with a fighting type having the first route be a cave is kinda BS

I wouldn't add the cave at the very beginning, your area is fine, but maybe add two or three routes and a town before the cave. I played one like that where it started in a rocky area and then went straight to a cave and I hated it. Granted, the cave was super long and there was nowhere where I could heal, so it could have just been poor design on the creators part.

I wouldn't put the two houses so close to the walls or the ledges tbh...

instead of having just a cave how about two alternate paths one is a normal grass route and the other being the cave, the player has a choice to go either way, perhaps you could have an NPC tell you "Don't go into the cave it's too dangerous!" and the player could go anyway if they wanted to...

ya they also have ground type pokemon too

When was that said?

I do hope you're right but I'm not optimistic about us getting a metroid title for NX's launch...Last year after FF's announcement at e3, I think Tanabe stated something like 'If we were to start a Prime 4 now it wouldn't be ready until after the NX has been released'...which has me believe they didn't even start since last year...and I have reason to believe they still didn't even start since they are likely still working on FF due to it being delayed til August this year...

and I don't think we'll get any announcements for any games that aren't coming to the NX at launch...though they could make an exception for Metroid due to fan demand, but it's not always the best route announcing a game too early, like what happened with KH3 for example...

Not really much of a Metroid fan but I figured they would want to include a teaser for Prime 4 to increase hype for the NX. Doesn't have to be gameplay and could very well be just a verbal confirmation of the games existence but I just have a feeling it would be apart of the games to be announced at the NX event later this year which I assume will be like Sony's event for the PS4 over 3 years ago.

Methinks a lot of Wii U games that were intended for launch on that system were moved over to the NX to have a killer library on day 1. Not Metroid but a bunch of other games.

Another important thing to note....

F-Zero only needs to be brought out of dormancy...give us a good solid racing title (possibly for 2020 which is f-zero's 30th)...and you have happy fans...

Metroid needs more than just a new title to be released, it needs an opportunity to redeem itself...I want to be optimistic when it comes to FF...but this is the main reason why a lot of fans are pissed off by this game's announcement...this isn't what the franchise needs right now and it doesn't help that the face of the series isn't even playable in the game...

You say this while fans of Golden Sun and Advance Wars are just flat out desperate for a new entry in their series lol. F-Zero at least had a mention from Miyamoto where he said the series isn't dead though I guess that doesn't mean much given the last F-Zero was in 2004. AW and GS had their latest releases in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

Pretty sure Pikmin 4 is amoung one of those titles...and whatever Retro's working on...and 3D Mario...etc...

Either way, it'll be nice if we get some confirmation of a main series title made for Metroid to come...I just don't think they will unless a Metroid title will be ready for launch...

For what it's worth Golden Sun might have a promising future given the possibility of Isaac doing fairly well in the Smash Ballot...if Nintendo actually takes this as an indication that fans want more Golden Sun...Andy likely didn't do nearly as well, and with IS focusing on Fire Emblem now it's hard to say what Advance Wars' future is like...

Yeah, Pikmin which I think might have been announced before as well as a bunch of others. If I had to predict...

- 3D Mario Game
- Zelda NX port
- Smash NX port (new characters plz)
- Pikmin 4
- FF15 port

Down the line you'll have Metroid Prime 4, Retro's new project, and others but I think those are the title that are going to be at launch or at least within the same month.

I saw people mention FF. No ****ing way that won't bomb. All they had to do was say 'We are working on a traditional Metroid game but can't show anything' and AAAAAAALL the backlash would have disappeared
