why did Kingdom Hearts randomly become a card based game?

Welcome to Kingdom Hearts!

 

[TheMightyP]

You know, I'm lowkey kinda suprised Kingdom Hearts didn't try a racing game. I mean a Disney Kart alone would bring home some moolah so Kingdom Karts would definitely make bank.

Knowing Square they'd add microtransactions and kill it.

And also it's canon for some reason.

There is a Disney racing game coming out this year so I expect it to perform adequately.

Gorsh Donald, you can't say Kachigga. I mean, Ghyuck I can say it, but that's because that's my word hyuck.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

My dad gave me permission to go to the con as long as I go fully masked, which ill never so making anyway, and being hand sanitizer, which I never go anywhere without

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So how y'all enjoying the reveals of Hugh, Rocko and Jenny?

I would assume Jenny had gotten the most hype? Maybe Hugh because he was unexpected?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Finally the weekend as been working and at the skatepark. Encountered my first Karen at the place along with her dad War Veteran Jim. Going off on every person going near their kid.

A kid was like "he may be going to the gym but I can fight him".

Then someone brought a trolley in to the skatepark and took like 5 people to get it out. It was madness.

cool as can be

Bro. We getting Jenny and Hugh "Duck Lover" Neutron.

And Rocko cause that show was brill.

Bruh they gave Jenny her ****ing makeover as her alt, they did my girl justice

Robo-Human Blaziken. That's what I see.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Welcome to Kingdom Hearts!

Yeah

Ended up moving on towards 358/2 days since I already know enough about CoM and it’s ending + Axel…and now I’m only watching tons of cutscenes…there is going to be gameplay in this game right? 25 days in and still no gameplay

So how y'all enjoying the reveals of Hugh, Rocko and Jenny?

I would assume Jenny had gotten the most hype? Maybe Hugh because he was unexpected?

both have hella high ass hype going on for them, and Jenny was actually amazing to have tried out today

Bro. We getting Jenny and Hugh "Duck Lover" Neutron.

And Rocko cause that show was brill.

Jenny seems like she’ll end up getting hit with nerfs if her skillset ends up being as busted as April and Aang, but she’s very fun

Hugh better have his cool form, and sings “Cool As Can Be”

As for Rocko, I demand he stays looking innocent and awesome

 

[MooMew64]

They both put the game back on my radar, as I was pretty much ready to forget about the whole game lol.

Hoping that this thing still clings to life; the devs clearly have the passion, but they're fighting with Viacom marketing to even exist.

Huh? Out already? That was quick.

Sakurai's been real quiet since Hugh's reveal.

It's out for the better.

Now Re:Coded? The same deal but it's worth playing imo.

 

[Lamperouge]

Kinda like this:

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Kinda like this:

You ain't excited for Jenny? Recall she was really wanted apparently.

 

[Guynamednelson]

but they're fighting with Viacom marketing to even exist.

I wonder how hard it was for them to say yes to Hugh.

They only recently realized people could be nostalgic for Jimmy Neutron, fans demanding Hugh would be completely bizarre to them.

Hugh got in for the same reason as Nigel.

The memes.

Speaking as a Days fan:

It's very, very rough by today's standards and is by all means very skippable if you watch the cutscenes online.

Kinda like this:

you dare not be excited for the same things i am excited about?

we can't have none of that here

 

[Lamperouge]

You ain't excited for Jenny? Recall she was really wanted apparently.

I don't play NASB and haven't been following its updates like talking about.

Jenny is a good choice though; Life as a Teenage Robot was a pretty fun show from what I saw back then.

 

[MooMew64]

NASB still has an upwards battle of being 100% not casual friendly, though.

Game is pretty unapologetically for comp Melee players and no one else. If you're not in it for the funny schmovement, there ain't much for ya here outside of a shockingly solid roster lineup.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Now's your chance to be a cool ass remix.

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

Good afternoon guys

I think items are gonna come with Rocko, one of them's the Suck-O-Matic.

 

[MooMew64]

That's a really good first step. My hope is if the DLC hits hard enough and more casual friendly ways of play come into focus the game can keep some actual legs, 'cause hoo boy it dropped off fast, especially after Multiversus.

Though Multiversus is bungling their marketing ATM so there's plenty of room for catchup.

Items have been in development for a while, and most of them have their final models already. I think they want to save them for Rocko because Nicktoons games usually only feature content from shows with playable characters.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

So just looking at Crunchyroll-Funi and me wondering when are these two coming on to it:

And waiting on these this to be watched legally in my region along with more KyoAni shows:

Wanna watch Super Cub on the go.

And they wonder why people still sail the high seas.

 

[TheMightyP]

Sakurai's been real quiet since Hugh's reveal.

With all due respect, I think he may have died knowing his career was finished.

Mark is a gift:

YOU DID IT #hughnation! I got the Pies! I got the Ducks! And now, I got the MOVES! Bring it on @IGN @Ludosity @GameMillEnt @rNintendoSwitch @Xbox! BIG THANKS to @SuperverseYT, Speaker of the House for Hugh Nation https://t.co/bBPmQ5bY48 pic.twitter.com/pQ9teC1yQL

So yeah


Hugh Newtron



I don't play/really care much about NASB but



I'm very happy they gave the fans exactly what they wanted, even if it was just for memes.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT JENNY ACTUALLY MADE IT

She's always been one of my most wanted since the game was first unveiled, but MLAATR hasn't been relevant in ages, and I wasn't sure her addition was even possible at the rate the game's reception was going along with potential licensing issues, so I'm especially happy. Go, XJ-9!

 

[Shroob]

I think my biggest question in regards to all this

Spoiler: Gonna be raining on parades, so don't click if you don't want a dose of realism

Is how much longer can they justify pumping money into this game when it's clearly dead? The game still hasn't broken past 100 players even with the last 2 waves of DLC, and sometimes even goes down to as low as 20 or 30 people online, at least on PC.


This can't be profitable for them, especially since, iirc, the game's still full priced, which is another massive turnoff for potential new customers.

My only guess? A possible No Mans Sky scenerio

Adding a couple DLC characters isn't gonna fix that tbh, the game needs a lot of work at the ground level, not adding stuff onto an already shaky structure.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Has a release date for Multiversus been announced yet?

Edit: Nope apparently not.

 

[TheMightyP]

The biggest issue with it is that's it's similar to Melee, which isn't bad on its own but it's just too similar to the point where all the trappings shortcomings of Melee are present, if not worse in NASB. Doesn't help that the moves have virtually no weight to them at all, as in a lot of moves do not match up with the animations they're given and it's just too fast.

But if they fix that maybe I'll give it a chance.

That, and there's a few other things.

No voice acting being a glaring one. I can understand, since voice acting is expensive, but it's a wacky cartoon fighting game with no wacky cartoon voices.


Also, no items for the casuals. They're in the code, but most are either unused or were repurposed into moves, so they may be basically a dead concept at this point.

It's gonna take a while because of Da Rules(TM) Nicktoons games usually follow: Only feature content from shows with playable characters...and one of the items is from Rocko's Modern Life.

 

[Shroob]

But ya


Outside of the general jankiness of the game and its animations, and the price being way, wayyyyyy too high for the amount of content it has, one of my biggest turnoffs is a lack of voice acting.


It's just soo weird seeing characters like Patrick and Spongebob jump around but they're just


Mute


In a way, it's just eerie. This is a bright, colorful cartoon fighting game, but the characters are just dead silent.




It'd be like if you saw something Mario related and instead of Charles Martinet, he was voiced by Chris Pra-----Oh, wait.

I think the hope is hyperfocusing on community dreamies for DLC will help keep the word of mouth alive and buy the devs time while they fight with Viacom marketing.

If it works and they get things like items and VA in, and then strategically place some Steam sales and other platform sales here and there? NGL I could see a Battle for the Grid level comeback.

TBH the game needed an extra year in the oven: It clearly wasn't ready.
