As a fan of SSE, I think that's a pretty fun thought experiment. These are some ideas I had:
  • Have Megaman join up with Samus in the Research Facility. Add the Yellow Devil as a boss.
  • Bowser Jr. is one of the main antagonists.
  • Toon Link shipwrecks on an island and has to fend off shadow Marios, octoroks, etc. After defeating them, Bowser Jr. appears and tries to shoot him with one of those Dark Cannon things, but Villager appears out of nowhere and pockets it. The duo then fight Bowser Jr. who flees afterward. Villager and Toon Link then build a raft and leave the island.
  • Little Mac's gym gets invaded by primids and his first stage involves him taking them out to escape and confronting a new boxing primid boss. After escaping, Little Mac sees a bunch of primids heading to a concert hall in the city. His next stage has him running through the city to head towards the concert hall. In the concert hall level he meets Jigglypuff and the two of them fight Darkrai.
  • Pac-Man meets up with the Duck Hunt Duo in a country setting and they eventually join up with Little Mac and Jigglypuff.
I'm not really sure what to do with Palutena or Wolf without drastically changing the stuff that was in the original SSE, but I'm also not very good at coming up with story ideas, so yeah...
Awesome! I'd add a few things to this:

-Wii Fit Trainer would be with Little Mac (Wii Fit came out before Brawl IIRC, so WFT is a character that would qualify), as it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for a yoga practitioner for be in a gym.
-Bowser Jr. could show up in the Koopa Kopter to rescue Bowser, as someone brought out above.
-Palutena isn't as big of a deal as you may think, considering she's already in the story. Just have a story where Skyworld is invaded after Pit and Mario leave so Palutena takes it upon herself to personally defend her realm, and then have Wolf be the leader of the Shadowforces.
-Mewtwo is someone I can see showing up at the climax with Bowser, Jr. and Ganondorf on the big ship when the heroes attack to get into Subspace, if you can't find a good place for it in the rest of the story.
-If Toon Link and Villager are going to have their own story separate from others, then they will likely have to meet up with Roy, Palutena, Dr. Mario, Little Mac, WFT, and the Duck Hunt Duo in some capacity on their way towards the main group. Someone they meet up with would also have to cross paths with the other characters (besides Palutena maybe?) to justify their group coming together.
-I feel like Sonic is someone that should show up relatively early but split off or get cut off from the group and does his own thing, so that when he shows up at the end, it's less of a "this character just randomly showed up" and more of the Han Solo Ep. 4 archetype, where one of the major protagonists comes in at the crucial moment and rejoins the fray by dealing a major blow to the main villain when nobody's expecting them to.
-I don't know how to get Pac-Man in there, nor Dr. Mario or DHD.
-Ryu could be with Little Mac and WFT (gym is a pretty broad definition haha).
-Have Cloud show up and team up with Palutena in Skyworld against Wolf (cloud jokes huehuehue).
-Rosalina is tricky, but I always thought that a good place for her to appear would be at the top of the summit, turning the Meta Knight-Lucario battle into a three-way fight after she descends from the sky (otherwise insert Palutena and Cloud's entrance in the same way).

'FOR CHIVALRY' Yelled the knight, as he slashed his enemy in the back after a sneak attack

Just curious, anything interesting you got? I got a friend an empty can of deodorant for his birthday a few weeks ago :p
A bell for my grandmother, a DVD for one of my online friends, a Flash Funko Pop for him as well, and a joke gift for my one hipster friend from NYC.

I suddenly have a strong desire to become your friend.
I bought my roommate his PSP back when they were brand new.

I do good unto others who do good for me.

I wasn't a huge fan of Shovel Knight's level design, to be honest. A lot of the levels introduced a gimmick and then proceeded to lean way too hard on it.

The relics also made it way too easy too cheese your way through the game, and I felt that there was almost no penalty for death. I mean, yeah, you lose some gold, but you can easily get enough gold to buy anything worth buying 3/4 of the way through the game.

Good, but not great game in my opinion.
And this is where my problems with the game lie in.

On top of the gimmicks, the levels were really long. At first I was like "hey this is pretty cool", but the farther I got through the game the more it felt like a chore.

The boss fights were rather weird imo. Either they were really easy to just cheese or they had a strict pattern you had to follow to attack (notably the extra bosses were like this)

How did you lose it? Unless it's the physical copy I'm curious
My friend loaned me his 3DS with Shovel Knight on it, which I pretty much 100% completed.
Except for the music sheets.

I actually can see the complaint the game isn't that difficult, but that's not because it isn't hard, it's because it isn't very punishing.
But that's fine. I still died a lot so I found it as difficult as I would have liked.

I wish big youtubers just stopped talking about the character lately. It's just one big misconception/asinine fan theory after the next.

Yeah, as short as the game was, it did seem to drag at times. The boss rush against the Order of no Quarter seemed completely unnecessary.

Don't get my wrong people, I liked the game. It had some neat ideas, it controlled well, and was sufficiently charming. I just didn't love it. Solid 7/10 from Spazzy.

I thought the music was great. I agree with the being longer part but for a 15 dollar indie game, it was decently long like a Mega Man game.

Have you tried Plague Knight by the way? I actually liked it more than the original. The burst mechanic and movement options were great and pretty unique.
Not yet, will definitely give it a go. Maybe even tomorrow morning.

This is the only interesting part. I love joke gifts! A friend gave a friend a 'how to learn French' CD for PCs from over a decade ago recently
She always wants to use Mason Jars for literally everything when she visits and I'm constantly ****ing annoyed by it.

So I bought her a little towel that says ''Everything Tastes Better in a Mason Jar." despite always telling her ''You gonna be normal and drink that wine in a wine glass in this house."

I like all those ideas. I don't know why I forgot about Rosalina, but your suggestion for her makes sense to me. I'd also be down for Kirby and Peach/Zelda meeting up with her somehow in space (sort of like Rosalina's trailer) though I don't know how that would fit into the original SSE plot...

I pretty much went ahead and slaughtered it in the comments, lol (as in I posted way more than I actually needed to in order to debunk it, because it is seriously easy to debunk with like, an image or two).

It's also caused me a lot of grief due people on tumblr (mainly Game Theory fanatics or elitist Peach fans who are like "YES GOOD OUR PEACHY GAVE BIRTH TO GOD THAT'S GOOD FOR OUR PRINCESS' IMAGE", or whatever) always trying to tell me I should treat it like gospel or whatever. As a result, I saved a forum post I made on Smashboards once just so I could repost it whenever I am confronted about it. Because it's been brought up to me way more times than I'd like.

I always paired Wii Fit Trainer comically with Wario in Subspace scenarios.

Rosalina would be great with Ness and Lucas.

Having Rosalina be a damsel would have been the single most idiotic story-related thing Nintendo ever did.
I'd say it's even than even Other M Samus.

My problem with the relics was that after completing the level they're introduced in, you didn't use them again, most likely. I remeber using the invincibility locket and the propeller thing a lot, fire balls sometimes too, but that's it.

On the other hand, Plague Knight arkanas were more usable except for that smoke cloud lol. The customization in the game was great as well. I would change fuse and bomb types depending on the level/boss. I barely switched my burst, though. Bullet burst was my favorite.

About the punishment, it's true that when you have all the items you want there's basically no punishment, but when you play hard mode where there's only 2 checkpoints it gets different.

I'd give it at least a 9/10 which can change with the DLC that hasn't come out yet. 2 more campaigns, battle mode and Co-op.

What really happened was Rosalina got drunk as **** and called Bowser 'Gimme za forplay cause I'm sho shpacey'
Bowser: What the **** do you mean
'I WANNA SMOOCH'
And thus, Rosalina needed therapy the day afterwards after Bowser called her back after she sobered up

I'm now thinking that Bowser would be that art student in college who you'd have a one night stand with and if you didn't return his calls he'd make an art piece called Succubus and it'd be you. His J-pop commercial designs only further cement this canon.

You know, I wonder if they're going to up the difficulty of the game at all when amiibo gets involved for Shovel Knight.
If Shovel Knight is too easy now...I can't imagine the game being anything more than a cakewalk when two players with a highly customized Shovel Knight are involved.

Saw this on Gamefaqs while looking at stuff for Hyrule Warriors.
So there was a survey/poll from Famitsu several weeks ago, asking the fans which IP they want to see get the Musou treatment. The survey is now over, and here are the final results/rankings. They're split into Game IPs and Anime IPs, with some comments from their respective developers

Game IPs
1. Touken Ranbu
(Comment from developer: We'd really like to play that so we want to consider towards realization, but right now we're focusing on PC and Smartphone versions)
2. Type Moon (Fate/stay night series & more)
(Comment from Takeuchi: I'd like to see a game where Saber sweeps an army of seaweeds filling up the screen)
3. Fire Emblem
(no comment from nintendo)
4. Neo Romance
(Comment from Koei staff: How about if we seriously start proposal planning then)
5. Final Fantasy
(Comment from producer Kitase: The Forgotten Capital quest could be very exciting here)
6. Tales Of
(Comment from developer: Thank you, but we don't have any plans for now)
7. Atelier
(Comment from Gust staff: If we include harvesting and mixing features it might be more like an RPG)
8. Kantai Collection
(no comment from developer)
9. Shin Megami Tensei
(Comment from producer Yamai: I'm waiting for the contact anytime)
10. Persona
(Comment from PR staff: If it gets realized sometime it'll be interesting)

Anime IPs
1. Precure (Pretty Cure)
2. Fairy Tail
3. Tokyo Ghoul
4. Kingdom
5. Gintama

There's also more information on these results here

Nice to see Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy on there, as well as Type Moon. And I would so pay for a Gintama one.

The Fairy Tail and Persona ones also interest me as well.

Oh, and in other news, I'm making my new computer, so expect my activity to up by hopefully January.

Nah, what happened was that Rosalina jumped to conclusions and had 6 month therapy thinking she banged a turtle. Bowser only traded her a Smoochum for a Bellsprout

Also, is that Pulp Fiction on your siggie?

I agree, because I at least acknowledge that the idea with Other M Samus was a sound one at it's core. They simply wanted to make Samus more human. They just completely messed it up in execution.

Making Rosalina a damsel is an idea that's dead on arrival. It would serve no purpose, Peach already fills the role (and honestly shouldn't still be doing so since even she's capable). Even Galaxy 1's entire plot pushes it, she really shouldn't have needed Mario's help, or even ran into trouble with Bowser to begin with. Even if you don't think she's "effectively god tier or beyond", 3D World shows that anything Mario can do, she can do better. And we know she can undeniably fly and teleport...in a platforming game. I don't get too annoyed with that though since it's just the first game and it's also a Mario game. But if they full on made her another damsel for Bowser to capture, yeah, I'd be very annoyed. And I'd know it was Miyamoto's fault too. :V

I want to see this giant post now
This is most of it I think. Have fun.

1) His genetics connection between Rosalina and Peach/Mario/Luigi is completely false. One of the biggest points he used for that was his claim that Rosalina is left handed, when she is in fact, ambidextrous. He tried to deny this by saying that it can be passed off as "right hand bias", and suddenly making up the excuse that "if a character is left handed in games and is portrayed right handed in promotional renders only, it's just right hand bias. This is done because it's easier to market right handed characters".

Ignoring the fact that is complete nonsense as a theory, it doesn't even apply to Rosalina. She holds the wand in her right hand just as much as she does in her left, and also makes carefully co-ordinated motions with both across many games, proving her ambidexterity. Even his own video demonstrates this, but he accidentally included it:



2) His line of logic for saying she was born in the Mushroom Kingdom is terrible. His line of logic was that the same "tree on top of the hill" Rosalina refers to in her storybook is the same as a certain tree you can see on top of a hill in the Mushroom Kingdom, in the ending of Galaxy. However, it simply isn't. The tree from the storybook is evergreen. The one he pointed out in the ending is deciduous. They can't be the same, they are completely different.

However, this is again, a case of him ignoring a basic fact - Rosalina's home planet is the Gateway Planet (the planet Mario first wakes up on after being sent into space by Kamek). She directly says it is:



In the storybook, it's also stated that Rosalina "comes back to visit her home every 100 years" - and Rosalina does this with the Gateway Planet, as she says in that scene above (I couldn't get the GIF to last long enough to show the whole sentence, but the rest of it says "...with the Lumas every 100 years").

Furthermore, the Mario Galaxy stage in Smash Bros is set on the Gateway Planet - but it takes it a step further, and leaves it in the condition it was in over the course of Rosalina's childhood, not in the beat up state it was in the main story of Galaxy:



It has the evergreen trees from the storybook, and doesn't have the craters and large baron areas the Gateway Planet has in Galaxy.

3) He ends the theory by saying Luigi is Rosalina's father.

That is a disgusting assertion to make. Luigi actually had a small crush on Rosalina in Galaxy (he calls her cute, and at one point in the game, demands that Mario tells Rosalina that he found a Power Star for her, because he's too shy to do it himself). The photo of Luigi and Rosalina in the Mushroom Kingdom MatPat referred to is supposed to be them going on a date - in direct parallel to the photo of Mario and Peach going on a date to space.

In other words, MatPat's theory tries to suggest that Luigi has a crush on his daughter. I don't even need to tell you the problem there.

Now, people may try to claim that Luigi can't have a crush on Rosalina because he also has one on Daisy. But Daisy has never appeared in a main series game (Super Mario Land is not one), so you could technically say she is not a canon Mario character, and even if she did, there is no reason a guy can't have conflicted feelings on who he likes, or like both girls at different points in times, or heck, this is MARIO we're talking about, they kinda just do whatever. The fact remains that, over the course of Galaxy, Luigi had a thing for Rosalina, and I don't think Nintendo was trying to promote incest.

4) Rosalina's creator, Yoshiaki Koizumi, has already gone on record saying that Rosalina and Peach were going to be biologically related in some fashion at an early point in Rosalina's conception, but the idea was scrapped.

And if she was going to be related to Peach, she most likely would have been her sister. This is also based on the fact that, initially, Rosalina was going to be a much more of a minor, "one-level" character in Galaxy, as Miyamoto didn't want another major female character in the Mario franchise at that point. Her design, however, was much more similar to Peach in the early stages of development:



These points are not me overanalysing, they are me being aware of very basic trivia in relation to Rosalina, and knowing MatPat is wrong based on it. I'm sure if I really wanted to, I could find even more wrong with the theory. These points, however, are what I remember being wrong from when I watched the video when it came out, and didn't take any thought at all for me to figure out.

...Rosalina kidnapped in SMG2? What?

When is that ever even IMPLIED? I've never heard people come to this conclusion before.
It's mostly just people thinking that the comet we see being pulled in by Bowser is the Observatory, despite it having a purple aura.

It doesn't really work though because, of the Cosmic Spirit game mechanic.



The Cosmic Spirit is clearly an astral projection of Rosalina - the very name, appearance, and the fact she has genuine copies of Rosalina's accessories (i.e they aren't made out of random space matter) says as much.

Rosalina is clearly capable of helping Mario throughout the whole game by going as far as to take over his mind and beat levels for him. I don't think she could do that if she was somehow without power (something we have never seen happen to her).

I saw a screenshot of the Just Dance Yokai Watch thingie. It looks...Pretty bad...Then again, dancing game, so it's probably ****
I'm going to buy it for sure, I've played Dance Central on my Kinect and nailed most of the songs available.
Dancing to the catchy YW songs is the highlight factor for this game, especially with casuals.

Yeah, but you'd buy almost anything if it's got Yokai Watch involved, stuff like hentai most likely being something you wouldn't buy as you're still innocent and pure like a cinnamon roll

I think that's a pretty fun thought experiment. These are some ideas I had:
  • Have Megaman join up with Samus in the Research Facility. Add the Yellow Devil as a boss.
  • Bowser Jr. is one of the main antagonists.
  • Toon Link shipwrecks on an island and has to fend off shadow Marios, octoroks, etc. After defeating them, Bowser Jr. appears and tries to shoot him with one of those Dark Cannon things, but Villager appears out of nowhere and pockets it. The duo then fight Bowser Jr. who flees afterward. Villager and Toon Link then build a raft and leave the island.
  • Little Mac's gym gets invaded by primids and his first stage involves him taking them out to escape and confronting a new boxing primid boss. After escaping, Little Mac sees a bunch of primids heading to a concert hall in the city. His next stage has him running through the city to head towards the concert hall. In the concert hall level he meets Jigglypuff and the two of them fight Darkrai.
  • Pac-Man meets up with the Duck Hunt Duo in a country setting and they eventually join up with Little Mac and Jigglypuff.
I'm not really sure what to do with Palutena or Wolf without significantly changing the stuff that was in the original SSE, but I'm also not very good at coming up with story ideas, so yeah...

I don't know how well Dr. Mario would fit either. I guess Roy could be added to the Marth, Meta Knight, and Ike group. Maybe Mewtwo could be an antagonist who wasn't aligned with the Subspace army or something.
Wolf is easy, I'd introduce him right when Kirby and Peach/Zelda get knocked off the halbird. He would shoot a dark canon at them causing them to doge and fall towards the plains. Wolf would then pursue them until Palutena arrives to save them, but fails and is turned into a trophy. Wolf then meets up with Wario and they both lose all the trophies they collected to Dedede. Then you have to fight both of them at the ruins.

As for Mac's group, he would meet up with Villager's group and fight Bowser jr. and a boss, then they would find a ship and meet up with the other groups before going into subspace.

Saw this on Gamefaqs while looking at stuff for Hyrule Warriors.

Nice to see Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy on there, as well as Type Moon. And I would so pay for a Gintama one.
Suprised to see Tokyo Ghoul so up high, especially since it's a horror series (that's heavy on the action but still).

That being said, I don't think the series works well for a Musou... a 2D Fighters on the other hand...

Also I would pay lots for a proper Gintama Musou.

I heard Tokyo Ghoul is either the ****, or actual ****. Heard good things about Gintama, though I don't know enough other than that it's apparently a sketch show or something. Care to give me a rundown?

I really want a "Kingdom Hearts Warriors" more than anything.

Mostly because we already got a proof of concept in KH2.

Nah, what happened was that Rosalina jumped to conclusions and had 6 month therapy thinking she banged a turtle. Bowser only traded her a Smoochum for a Bellsprout

Also, is that Pulp Fiction on your siggie?
Oh.

And yes.

I won't buy everything YW has. The least I will get are the medals, the watch, and games. (if they live up to high quality)
If YW didn't have catchy songs, then I would've not bought it in the first place. (The game's concept wouldn't exist either)
