It s not "persona" or "shin megami tensei' is rather "Atlus genre".

Atlus genre consists of "a hero you are and the whole world wants and can kill you"
I might consider buying #FE if it follows the tradition

Interesting detail about the pricing of DLC characters:
- Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy: €3.99
- Corrin: €4.99
- Ryu, Cloud, Bayonetta: €5.99 (each comes with their own stage)

Basically, the veterans are the cheapest and the third-party characters are the most expensive, with Corrin, a first party newcomer that doesn't come with a stage is a middle point.

This all makes sense from a development POV:
- The veterans all re-use concepts established in previous Smash Bros. games. All that was needed was to implement them in the new game. Lucas and Roy also borrow some moves and animations from characters on the base roster.
- Corrin is a new character with a new and unique moveset.
- The third-party characters have more innovative movesets, come with a stage and had to be negotiated with third-party companies (meaning deals and payment of royalties and such).

Hey.

Guys.

Despite the naysayers claiming Smash is going to end without Sakurai or we're just going to get Smash 4 Ultimate Edition on NX, I at least still think we can still debate Smash 5 newcomers.

This is the fandom that went two years with nothing but a blackboard drawing and, like, two interviews. I think we can manage on a game that's still hypothetical.

But who would you cut? A 60+ roster is going to be hard to pull off.

Brawl had 35 characters and Smash 4 has 58. 51 not counting the DLC. I'm pretty sure a 60+ roster wouldn't be too difficult to pull off.

Doesn't Corrin also have the remix and trophies?

KOF 2002UM pulls off a 66 charcter roster pretty well. I'm sure Smash 5 can do the same.

Level-5 is making another game to a very popular series!

http://mynintendonews.com/2015/12/2...r-game/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter


Please be Layton.

If it won't be a game where Professor Layton is the star, then I'm hoping it's a game where Luke Triton is the star.

Spoiler: Spoilers for Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

After all, the very last puzzle in the story, the one after the credits, does hint that Luke would gain more prominence in a potential sequel trilogy.

 

[Chrono.]

So the official History of Sonic book has a very interesting tidbit.

Sonic Unleashed is definitely Sonic Adventure 3, but the only reason they went with the name Unleashed was due to the Werehog (and the game is called World Adventure in Japan, possibly a reference to the project's roots).

Spoiler

So despite the signs, Sonic 06 was never meant to be SA3.

I guess fans now will have to start asking for Sonic Adventure 4 instead

You Shulk mains will appreciate this.

Hell, non-Shulk mains too.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm watching "History of Power Rangers: Mega Force"

and I'm surprised how much of Mega Force I actually watched. I recognize a lot of what he's talking about in it

I came here to post this damnit!
I was really hoping for a vision edit and was not disappointed

It's a Metroidvania.
They aren't known for their length.

After all, it isn't the length that counts. It's what's done with it.

I can't stand Linkara for a few reasons but I do sort of like his HOPR stuff.

My legit complaint is how much he goes off on rants about the show instead of just going in depth and explaining the plot and characters.

Plus I kinda do understand why he's not relying on using information on their Sentai counterparts but I would love to see some major comparisons with each series especially with Carranger & Turbo and Timeranger & Time Force

 

[domokl]

So... I was wondering about something. People say smash 4 DLC broke a lot of rules but does it really count as rule breaking when it's DLC? You would think rules with DLC would be looser right? Like, I don't think people should be thinking there will be 4 more 3rd party's right off the bat next smash. Seems unrealistic to me.

 

[Deleted member]

Goldy pls.

It's Golen.

 

[Frostwraith]

Doesn't Corrin also have the remix and trophies?

You are right. Corrin does come with music and trophies, depending on the version.

Anyway, the prices are more or less proportional to the investment necessary on each character.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

They've already crossed over in comics and the Olympics (though it's just Sticks).
Next step would be main series vs. Boom counterparts.

With Boom Sonic becoming Super Sonic for the first time with Mainstream Sonic.

EMBRACE THE FUTURE!!!!

After seeing this pic, maybe Sonic is on his rebellious teen years now. With classic being a kid and modern being more a tween.

Didn't we all do stuff in highschool/ early college we regret?

I mean, just look at hipsters

 

[Bedoop]

Didn't we all do stuff in highschool/ early college we regret?

Yes.
Going to High School.
That, I regret.

KOF isn't Smash though.

A traditional fighting game doesn't have to worry about items, stages + hazards, etc.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I went to high school when the matrix was still popular, so I wore a black leather trench coat thing. They were popular

Yeah, nevermind. I found this bit of information.

Spoiler

So what’s actually going on? Well, there’s a fan campaign, run by a group of Sega devotees who launched a change.org petition earlier this year in hopes of convincing the Japanese publisher to release an HD-supporting limited edition of the Dreamcast. The campaign, organized by a handful of people including Sega fans Ben Plato and Patrick Lawson, has a Facebook group called “Dreamcast Revival” with 882 members.

Lawson has been giving interviews to several websites over the past few days, which has led to incorrect headlines like “‘Dreamcast 2′ Reportedly Under Development, Could Be a PC-Console Hybrid” and “The Sega Dreamcast 2 Wants To Answer PC Gamers’ Wishes.” That’s what led Facebook to conclude that Sega “reportedly” plans to release a successor to the Dreamcast nearly 15 years after leaving the hardware business. It’s been one long game of broken telephone, exacerbated by the reach of Facebook’s trending topic algorithm.

But Lawson, who works for the hotel chain Marriott International, says his group has yet to make contact with Sega and in fact hopes to pitch them on their big hardware project next year. “We are gathering backers,” he told me this afternoon. “We’re looking for one million to help fund the upcoming [Kickstarter] and will be revealing some surprises as well as some big proposals to Sega in Japan.”

It's interesting that these people are trying to propose this project to Sega, but I don't know how far it'll go. I doubt Sega of Japan is going to approve this, but we'll have to wait and see I guess.

Alphaomega sin did a video on why it was fake, but I didn't watch it

3DS emulator seems to function. Kinda.

Yokai watch 2 looks hype

But yokai watch 3 looks like crap

I have the figuarts or whatever Gokai Oh, and I really like it

The whole pirate theme is both kinda funny and cool

 

[epicmartin7]

You know? I kind of have an interesting thought. This might not seem likely, but what if Level-5 is working on one of Nintendo's IPs at the moment? It seems like a pipe dream, but it'd definitely be interesting to see their take on one of Nintendo's franchises.
