Social THE Social Thread 2.0

[Hadokeyblade]

Nintendo has no social obligation anymore and we know every game they have for the year.

IMO, Directs are peaced out until September at the earliest.

They gotta show off the remaining Mario Kart 64 tracks tho.

Jurassic World? More like

Ass World.

Because it's ass

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Banjo-Kazooie is Microsoft's Mother 3.

Ok so now Robot Chicken should take their Mother 3 gang and remake it with Phil in Reggie's place and a Banjo fan getting stabbed with an Energy Sword instead of getting Fireball'd

 

[Hadokeyblade]

When I (Nintendo Switch haver) cannot become an ATLUS fan

Needs the music

Who you calling nobody?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Jesus christ Jurassic World Dominion was a complete ****show and a flat out mind-numbing mess of a "finale" to a trilogy. You will leave the theater with more confusion and questions than anything else

I was low key watching SmackDown under my shirt and with the brightness turned all the way down throughout the last half of the movie

also it was funny how literally only a single person popped off at my screening

Needs the music

the memories of those memes…I now demand this song is put in the MCU for when MODOK joins

Who you calling nobody?

Noibody it is then

 

[TheMightyP]

Who you calling nobody?

And any other Banjo fan

 

[Noipoi]

And any other Banjo fan

Okay, thank you for clearing that up.

Four years.

One of the hypest moments in Nintendo history.

I was coming off one of the suckiest days I’ve ever had, and I really needed something to lift my spirits.

And then they dropped this ****.

Good times

 

[Pokelego999]

Everyone is Here was the hypest **** back when it was announced

Looking back on it, that was probably one of the weakest Directs that Nintendo has put out during the Switch era so far. Smash took up about 20 minutes of the runtime by itself, so if you weren't particularly down for the game, you were SOL. Can't remember much else of value besides LM3 and AC.


But I didn't care because **** YEAH, SMASH

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Four years.

It was a weak Direct for me that year but back then for me, seeing that after over two weeks in hospital from a blood infection that almost ended me made me hype of seeing that.
Two weeks of hell but this was ****ing good.

Crazy now to think how it's two thirds of a year since Smash DLC ended and we all still talk like bros

 

[TheMightyP]

Everyone is here was so hype, only for me to pretty much exclusively use newcomers... and Pokemon Trainer.

And also Ridley Confirmed that same day. And that's when we knew that Ultimat was gonna have every singke character the fans wanted except for the characters that didn't get in the game

 

[MooMew64]

Everyone is Here was a certified happenin’ moment.

But no Waluigi so game is bad, actually.

We're all hanging on because Sakurai is gonna hit us with a brand new game by the end of the year, obviously.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Also has there been anything about the Direct happening this month?

I need to keep the 8 year streak of not failing to miss one. I.....take pride in that.......

Fire Emblem card fighting game plus Meteos blocks as special guest item.

I hate all you ****ers.

I’m just waiting for that fighters pass 3 announcement.

Any day now…

I believe there was a content creator who leaked some Switch developer emails on Reddit that hinted at one potentially happening soon...only to have his post nuked (and his job as a content creator most likely ruined), but I don't know much stock I'd put on that, if any.

June just sounds like a good time for one.

In all honesty, idk how they can top a pass with Steve, Sephiroth, and Sora.

Sakurai caves

[Noipoi]

Easy

Just include characters that are good (the ones I like) and avoid characters who are bad (the ones I don't)

 

[TheMightyP]

Sakurai caves

Spoiler

I will be buying day 1

 

[TMNTSSB4]

they never learn

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Just give me a stage pass.

My only complaint about the base game was the lack of new stages.
A stage based off Mappy, a new Pokémon stage etc.

I stand by this.

 

[Lamperouge]

As would I.

I know he's always just been the funny meme pick but Dragon Ball is peak and Goku's the ****ing man, so I would absolutely main him day 1.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just realized Minecraft Legends looks like Dragon Quest Builders

 

[TheMightyP]

I know that, what I mean is if Banjo ain't getting a new game, what would the chances be K. Rool returns as the villain in the next Donkey Kong game if that happens?

Let's solve this with math.
Let's use the theory of relevancy: Banjo had 0 games in the 2010s. He had 2 guest appearances in that time frame, one in a racing game, one in a fighting game. Lets say that they are .65 of a game, .15 for the racing and .50 because Smash is a bit more relevant than SASASR. So our margin is .65 here. Now, let's look at K. Rool. Only appeared in Smash in the 2010s, so .50 here. As you can see, the margin for Banjo is slightly higher than K. Rool. But lets calculate some other stuff. Let's factor in the demand, there are millions of 90s kids who grew up on the irrelevant scrimbo bimblos. Each year from 89 to 90 there was about 4 mill kids born, lets factor in some deaths and say about 36 mill 90s kids left. Let's multiply it out. Demand for K. Rool is 18 mill. Banjo is 23.4 mill. Some high ass demand there. Now let's take the outlier of 5 million. Factor that out to even the playing field. Now we gotta find the correlation between Rareware and Nintendo. They had some history, but not really anymore. So let's give them some points here. The correlation is 0.50x10^-100. Multiply the margins with that. Let's round to the nearest tenth.

So 0. Sorry, we're never getting K. Rool back.

 

[Noipoi]

Don't lose hope K Rool bros.

WE HAVE THE CALENDER

 

[Wario Bros.]

Looks like the local gaming convention I'm going to next month is only one game tournament rather than multiple like previous years.

A Smash Ultimate tournament with a $750 prize pot is cool and all but I like it when they have variety.

 

[Dukefire]

I still have some hope that indie characters are viable as playable fighters in the next game. Ultimate did destroy many fan roadblock throughout the Fighter Pass 1 & 2's duration.

 

[Z25]

Whose ready for the direct announcement tomorrow?

 

[CannonStreak]

Whose ready for the direct announcement tomorrow?

Bold to assume a Direct will be announced tomorrow.

Yeah, I am ready.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

can’t believe I’m just finding out London Tipton and Anne Boonchuy are played by the same woman (Brenda Song)
…I am a terrible Disney human for not realizing this

She also managed to get a role in a quality adult show, called Dollface.

 

[Noipoi]

Whose ready for the direct announcement tomorrow?

I'm ready for the meltdown.

 

[Dukefire]

I guess that Tuesday or Wednesday might be the time to drop an announcement of WHEN the Nintendo Direct will drop. Either this week or next week. Better to know rather then leaving the crowd hanging. Then again, we are kind of spoiled when 3-4 months has passed for the next round of games this year.

For those that are wondering about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet info. Wait until the Pokemon Direct arrives. They will be your guide on the upcoming Gen 9

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I watched the Chip and Dale movie, and.....I can't say it was good. The characters weren't interesting, the story moved too fast and was nothing special, and the jokes weren't funny. The only interesting thing were all the references. But that just makes it a discount Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The movie also had some concepts that needed to be expanded on, or that I wasn't a fan of.

 

[Z25]

Bold to assume a Direct will be announced tomorrow.

Yeah, I am ready.

I’ll be very shocked if they don’t. Nintendo solved this time of year and to do what the others are doing.

I think it’s gonna be Wednesday but it might fall on Thursday.

Also I expect a treehouse afterwards or later in the week. Maybe with Scarlet and violet gameplay because we already know a trailer is very likely coming the 29th, and Pokémon/Nintendo have blown through the advertising of things from the new trailer more then they usually do.

So I think they are paving the way for news one way or another.

 

[snowgolem]

These recent announcements have been pretty boring for me. At this point, I only have excitement left for the Capcom presentation tomorrow, and the speculated upcoming Nintendo Direct as well.
