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

[AreJay25]

I guess Kimishima really is just going to do behind the scenes stuff, then.

 

[Kenith]

I'm not sure why you guys are taking that so seriously. I would think that a character who they described as "Transcends logic" is a character we aren't suppose to take seriously and we are suppose to laugh at.

How surprising.
Someone who had "waifu" in their name defending someone with "waifu" in their name.

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

To be fair, Persona 4 took a TON of things from Jojo part 4.

Spoiler

Adachi is literally Kira but stripped of any amount of depth, and his excuse is literally "dur got bord" as opposed to Kira being a seemingly normal guy with a few creepy-ass fetishes and kinks

 

[Frostwraith]

I believe Morimoto taking over Iwata's role was the plan. I think it was even officially stated before that direct, and Morimoto took a good part of it over.

Are you sure they did say Morimoto was taking over? That's news to me.

I guess Kiwishima really is just going to do behind the scenes stuff, then.

Now to photoshop Kimishima's face on a kiwi...

Or Kimishima holding kiwis, like how Iwata held bananas...

 

[~Skelly~]

I figured out why the game is called "Illusory Revelations".

The illusion was this was going to be a crossover of SMT and FE.
The revelation was it wasn't going to be a crossover after all but rather something no one expected or wanted.

Good thing I didn't care for this game when it was first announced, otherwise I would have likely been disappointed. If you are looking forward to this game, more power to you.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I'm gonna stay away until after the direct just to be safe. Gotta keep my hype. See ya.

 

[Z25]

I'm thinking we'll get at least 1 character after the Direct due to how long it's been since Ryu and Roy....but eh, who really knows. I'm aware of the possibility that there may not have been any more characters worked on immediately after Ryu and Roy's release, only a character or a few characters recently (like over the last month, which likely wouldn't be ready for release).

This is my thoughts.

Basically I see it being this:

We get 1 character released after the direct with more announced for future release.( December possibly because we get news every other month so a release in between that might be good)

or

We get 3 characters like in June and they all release after the direct. Although there could be a chance they don't release immediately but release before the end of the month.

Lol I had to work really quick to fix that. Site is lagging pretty bad for me, so I hoped no one noticed.

 

[Luigi The President]

I just realized that when Paper Mario is revealed tommorow I can say I was right.

But I'm nice, so I'll only say it 2 times!

 

[Kenith]

Kimishima working behind the scenes...
Clearly he is an evil mastermind.

Spoiler: i ****ing love this image

 

[Z25]

I guess Kimishima really is just going to do behind the scenes stuff, then.

Isn't he hosting the NA direct?

 

[Kenith]

Isn't he hosting the NA direct?

No that's the Nintendo of Europe President.
Satoru Shibata.

Spoiler

 

[AreJay25]

Isn't he hosting the NA direct?

I figured it'd just be Reggie/Trinen. Where'd you hear this?

 

[LIQUID12A]

No that's the Nintendo of Europe President.
Satoru Shibata.

Spoiler

I can't be the only one whose first thought was "MIYAMOTO'S TWIN BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOTHERRRRRRRRRRRRR".

 

[Chrono.]

To be fair, Persona 4 took a TON of things from Jojo part 4.

In my defense, I haven't read Part 4 yet

 

[Dravidian]

Well for what it's worth I like SMxFE for the most part. The world is supposed to be more closely related to the modern world so the fact that there's people obsessing over Tiki in the game fits perfectly imo.

Spoiler: Personal view on anime age/maturity

IMO maturity should be relative to the species.
I wouldn't call a 14 year old dog a teenager since they're in their golden years. And a 2 year old dog isnt a toddler.
In other words:

• Dragon children are still children. A 100 year old Dragon baby is not a milf.
• Elf children are still children
• A Gear (Guilty Gear series) matures mentally and physically in about a year (Dizzy is about 3 years old iirc), so that age is adequate for that species. Her son (Sin Kisuke) is fully grown and only a few years younger.

 

[Frostwraith]

No that's the Nintendo of Europe President.
Satoru Shibata.

Spoiler

Shibata will present the American Nintendo Direct? That's unexpected.

I thought it would be Reggie or Bill Trinen doing it.

 

[Z25]

I just realized that when Paper Mario is revealed tommorow I can say I was right.

But I'm nice, so I'll only say it 2 times!

I hope PM is shown off tomorrow. Which reminds me my guesses for characters tomorrow:

Chibi Robo, Paper Mario, Shovel Knight( although Dixie could be in this list)

Although I could see these being likely:
Wonder Red( if they want a choice with decent popularity in the ballot)
Another 3rd party. A lot of options for this...
Bandanna Dee
Wolf
K rool( if they chose a sole fan favorite character)
Banjo and kazzoie( maybe, MS was down with it)
Issac( a pretty popular character)
another surprise or shocking reveal( any vet or newcomer)

And if that one leak is real then it could be:
K Rool, Wolf, Bomberman and then SK's leak is fake.
Should be interesting regardless.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I will say.

The Wolf, K.Rool and Bomberman leak is interesting.

The combination of Pirate Ship and three slots just catches my attention.

 

[Z25]

No that's the Nintendo of Europe President.
Satoru Shibata.

Spoiler

I figured it'd just be Reggie/Trinen. Where'd you hear this?

I thought that it was stated with the initial announcement.

Interesting though, I would've thought he would host Europe's( unless he already is)
Kimishima being behind the scenes could be beneficial, he is a temporarily replacement, so he could please fans without being in the light as they search for a true replacement.

Shibata will present the American Nintendo Direct? That's unexpected.

I thought it would be Reggie or Bill Trinen doing it.

I agree, Bill or Reggie would have made more sense. I'm sure we will see see them for one segment at least.

 

[kylexv]

So I'm probably going to get Undertale soon. Amazing ost, looks good, and the curiosity is killing me. Just letting you guys know to keep putting stuff in spoilers for my sake along with others.

Spoiler: Undertale Spoilers?

I already know who flowey is unfortunately. Somebody had a post with him in it without spoilers. I forget who though.

 

[AreJay25]

I will say.

The Wolf, K.Rool and Bomberman leak is interesting.

I still say it's just a lucky guess. Wouldn't be the first time a fake leak got something "right".

Admittedly, I'd be happy if it's real.

 

[Shroob]

I will say.

The Wolf, K.Rool and Bomberman leak is interesting.

The combination of Pirate Ship and three slots just catches my attention.

What leak is this?

 

[Frostwraith]

Perhaps, it's going to be Morimoto for Japan and Shibata for the West from now on?

Well, maybe Reggie and Trinen could still appear for the American Nintendo Directs.

Interesting though, I would've thought he would host Europe's( unless he already is)

Shibata is hosting the European Nintendo Direct as this tweet suggests.

This is me, It's something I'll entertain, it's such a specific set of info, yet it's lived through several big waves of info and other "big" leaks. It could be like the betternet roster leak and be fake, but It's something worth watching. Either way tomorrow will either be it's reckoning or it's savior.

Perhaps, it's going to be Morimoto for Japan and Shibata for the West from now on?

Ah I thought so, thanks for the confirmation!

 

[Kenith]

Satoru Shibata is hosting in Europe AND US.
Morimoto for Japan (honestly I'd prefer him or Reggie or Bill, but whatever).

 

[AreJay25]

I don't think it was ever stated that Shibata is hosting NA's Direct. Just that he's hosting Europe's.


Edit: Or am I wrong?

 

[Bedoop]

I don't see anything at all to post about at this moment aside from Direct H Y P E
So have a terrible pun

 

[Chrono.]

What leak is this?

This thing.

NOTE: Whoever made this picture lumped both the 4chan rumor and SK rumor together for some bizarre reason.

 

[Z25]

I don't think it was ever stated that Shibata is hosting NA's Direct. Just that he's hosting Europe's.


Edit: Or am I wrong?

Well the tweet nor site mention it, so you could be right, unless there is something we are both missing.

 

[Kenith]

I'm pretty sure it was said Shibata is hosting the NA Direct.
I'd love to be wrong though because Bill.

 

[Arcadenik]

Can we just shut down leakers so we could be surprised for once?

 

[Substitution]

Can we just shut down leakers so we could be surprised for once?

In a perfect world I'd say we could, but reality tells me otherwise.

 

[Dravidian]

Can we just shut down leakers so we could be surprised for once?

Imo the two most oboxious leaks are:

• data mined "leaks" because there's not much fun in speculating and
• leaks that happen moments (minutes to a few days) before an official announcement

 

[Arcadenik]

In a perfect world I'd say we could, but reality tells me otherwise.

I miss the old days when we had no Internet and we were always surprised and hyped whenever we read the latest Nintendo Power issue.

 

[epicmartin7]

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN BOYS.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I miss the old days when we had no Internet and we were always surprised and hyped whenever we read the latest Nintendo Power issue.

Remember when Nintendo Power still existed?

 

[Bedoop]

Remember that time we had 3 directs in 1 month
Those were the days

 

[Substitution]

Remember that one thing in the place that went with things? Those were the days...
