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

[epicmartin7]

Eh... not gonna put any stock into this. Could just be misinformation, and plus, there was that whole fiasco on the amiibo website a few weeks ago...

I find that hard to believe.

I wouldn't trust this, they could be making it up and even if it did happen, it's gamestop employees they don't know much.

On one hand, I don't buy it.

On the other hand, that it's "compatible" could just unlock a Shovel Knight Mii costume

I'm not really putting too much stock into it. I just thought it was interesting . Who would really believe a GameStop employee (unless there are multiple sources from other GameStop chains, then it just gets suspicious from there)?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Welp. Things are starting to get interesting now...

We’re gearing up our giant YO-KAI WATCH for our big #YOKAIWATCH event on 11/7 from 11AM-2PM at #NintendoWorld! pic.twitter.com/pPy7e8RdEq

Already caught up with the news! It looks amazing and I wish I could visit Nintendo World to meet Akihiro Hino.

 

[Champ Gold]

What I learned about politics is that stuff like TPP probably won't even pass and that we should all move to Mars


That plan is still in effect

 

[Radical Bones]

Hey Blue, is Yo Kai Watch considered a 2nd Party Nintendo IP like Pokemon or not?

I need final confirmation and you're my go to guy.

I'm so pumped for this game.

Aus don't get it for another month humph.

I haven't been to the store in awhile. I'd go, but I got a midterm.... That and I don't want to be stampeded by Yokai fans xD. The last event I went to, was their Nintendo power event( Finale I think). It was a madhouse! Fun though!

 

[Deleted member]

I'd say a good rule of thumb for any creator is simply don't use glitches. I was tempted, but knew there was a good chance they'd be patched. Honestly, Nintendo gave us so many tools and options, there's simply no reason to use any glitch or exploit. I feel they're cheap gimmicks used mostly by trolls. Creating fun and interesting levels that fully utilize the (legit) tools at our disposal is the true challenge.

This is more of a mechanics exploit than a glitch tho
It could be used to make a level that punishes the player for dying or something

I'm pretty sure it's third party

To clarify what True Blue Warrior said, Level-5 owns the Yo-Kai Watch IP while Nintendo published the game outside of Japan, making it third party.

 

[BluePikmin11]

*Insert Yo-kai Watch is third party comment*
*Insert But Level-5 and Nintendo are so close to each other, they make YW look like Nintendo's own IP, like Professor Layton*

 

[Wario Bros.]

While I enjoyed the demo of YKW, I'm not sure if I plan to get the game.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I plan to get it, because the personality-filled, unique characters, humor, and the gameplay makes it all worth the purchase.

 

[Z25]

So what your saying, is, I can make a Dark Souls Mario Maker level? Maybe I could use that glitch....

*Insert But Level-5 and Nintendo are so close to each other, they make YW look like Nintendo's own IP, like Professor Layton*

Honestly I could see a Yokai rep next smash. To me, the game is like the W101 and smash, just 3rd party. Nintendo got involved in a fresh and innovative IP, however one of these while amazing didn't do well because of lack or promotion, however Yokai Watch has been heavily pushed and well received, so I could definitely see it being accepted into smash, since w101 got a decent amount of content for not being successful, but Yokai Watch's success will push it above other choices. ALthough, I still want Professor Layton, but a Level 5 rep is a good start...

I doubt that means anything. While working on the early concepts, they could have used the Smash Amiibos as inspiration.

Gamestop employees are almost always wrong about this stuff sadly, I wouldn't use that as anything. I mean Nintendo themselves had Shovel Knight listed under Smash Compatible amiibos for a bit, but I wouldn't say gamestop would specifically classify it as a Smash amiibo.

 

[epicmartin7]

Well, here's the thing. Shovel Knight is a ballot character according to @Tama's source. The Ballot was first conceived in the first have of 2015 I believe while the Shovel Knight Amiibo talks were before that.

This means if the prototype Amiibo base linked to his inclusion in Smash, that means Shovel Knight was pre-ballot and chosen above a lot of other characters.

That's why I don't really see the Smash base as evidence. Plus they only had the Smash Amiibo line at the time, which means they could of only based the mock-up off of that.

Good ol' Square Enix.

I'm going to be the black sheep of the group, I really hope the Shovel Knight leak is fake and I'm hoping that it'll fade as soon as possible, it's done enough damage to the community and I hope it's debunked soon. (No offense SK fans)

The only way this leak will truly start to die down, is if he isn't in the next batch of smash characters.

 

[AreJay25]

So apparently scientists found some potential evidence of a parallel universe.

Basically, it's possible we all could have evil twins.

I don't think this makes you a black sheep. A lot of people wish this leak would just die and go away.

Pretty sure i'm the evil twin.

I'd say this is pretty close to being spot on. The ERSB was quick and damaging, everyone accepted it within the week basically, and just waited. With Shovel Knight, both sides have been arguing over why it should/shouldn't happen and if it's real or fake. It's lasted much longer and caused more issues imo.

I bet in the parallel universe, Donald Trump isn't being considered for president

and humans don't pollute their own planet

In this case I believe I am because no one has really said anything. In the other case, I'm probably not.

 

[Naoshi]

Sadly, it seems to be the case.

I suggest reading this article by Kotaku as it gives a better explanation more than I could ever attempt to write. I suck at writing.

But yes, Mechs is BEST.

Hmmm, I only really care about partying with a few friends. I hope the 4p co-op stuff is plentiful though.

I think that I could see how the characters in that leak could be controversial, even if I myself didn't dislike any of them (Bowser Jr. was the only exception as I used to dislike him heavily, in fact when I saw him in the leak I shouted the longest "NO" that anybody could handle, but I got used to him so it wasn't really anything that bad actually considering how unique he was described, and one of my favorite Mario characters Ludwig (Second to Rosalina) was going to be an alt for him, so it wasn't that bad at all) Shovel Knight on the other hand is extreme levels of controversial, his level of controversy makes Dark Pit look like Mega Man imo.

 

[Solfiner]

I'm not getting X, Kotaku gave it a bad review.

For reference, they said that the original's combat was "Mashing A and B".

And in this parallel universe, we are all gender inverted, there is no such thing as a bad game, every popular request got into Smash and @Swampasaur no longer gets his name in this thread.
