Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

[SnakeFighter64]

A leaker with a good track record, Pyoro, started talking about the unconfirmed but totally upcoming direct. He leaked Mario Wonder and Mario RPG last time.

He said that something F-Zero related and something DK related were coming, so of course people got excited. But now it seems the games are F-Zero 99 and a new entry for the Mario vs Donkey Kong series.

So, Y’know. Not as exciting.

I... wow. We've been waiting for new DKC for years and then all the rumors of a 3D game by the Odyssey team and then we end up getting THIS! If it's not at least like DK 94 and the first game then we have a lot of reason to be pissed off. Nobody likes the goddamn Minis (except in Ribbon Road).

F-Zero 99 could be cool though. Have to see how they execute it.

 

[Shroob]

Okay, looking at the returning Pokemon, there's not THAT many with gender differences, just need to remember to catch 2 of

Spoiler: Dex leaks

Politoed(Hopefully it's an overworld spawn, please)

Aipom and Ambipom

Gligar

Piloswine and Mamoswine

Ludicolo

Nuzleaf and Shiftry(These ****ers are gonna be version exclusives, bet)

Milotic

I still believe they’re working on something for Donkey Kong, but I don’t think we’re seeing it any time soon.

It’s gonna be like, a year 2 or 3 release for the Switch 2.

Man **** the switch 2. We've been waiting for a new 3D Mario, a new DK game, and Metroid Prime 4 for years and all of them seem to be being held back for the ****ing Switch 2. A console I at least don't even want.

 

[Shroob]

I do think FZero 99 has some merit to it.


Issue is as soon as the servers shut off, ****'s gone for good.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean Retro usually does DK now right? They're busy workong on Prime 4

Well the word on the street was that Retro was finished with DK so Nintendo opted to develop it internally. Whether that holds true or not, I guess we’ll see.

Oh oof.

Also, to my knowledge, Mario vs DK is the one of the few and the only active series made by Nintendo of America. This probably means nothing

After a failed attempt at outsourcing it to Vicarious Visions of all people.

 

[Shroob]

Thinking back to last night and remembering someone asking for a live service Smash Bros


God that would be awful.



The beauty of Smash when it's past its prime is that it's a time capsule of that era, alongside being a prime modding scene in the case of Brawl. Having a Smash game that lives or dies by its servers being up, and once it's gone it's just, gone forever just doesn't sit right with me.

I came up with ideas for a FNaF Kart racer including cups/tracks because this is my life now.

I wish. Then I could get this dumb game out of my head and on to the screen so I can stop thinking about it and start playing it.

 

[Shroob]

Kinda funny how the whole Fanverse thing has just had issue after issue crop up.

 

[cashregister9]

I have realized the Date today

 

[TMNTSSB4]

just bought Persona 4 Arena Ultimax due to it being on a sale…I’ve been casually turning my Switch into a Persona system (only Royal and the dancing games are missing…cause I don’t wanna redo all the Royal stuff I gained within thousand or so hours…and the rhythm games I wouldn’t be able to survive through if it ever dropped on the Switch (based on my time with the P5D demo on the PS4))

 

[Shroob]

I have realized the Date today

Ah yes


Happy circle 9 day.

 

[CannonStreak]

I went to the local state fair. I had a fun time. There was some stuff Sonic the Hedgehog related I bought there.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Just gonna post what I came up with.

The idea is that it's a Kart Racer made by Fazbear Entertainment in-universe that's haunted by a spirit or remnant or whatever so it's mostly light hearted stuff themed after the in-universe characters with a few secret "Glitch" characters and tracks from the horror side of the franchise. I don't really care about how it would affect the lore or anything. I only included that aspect because I thought people would expect it to be there.

Can't decide on a normal type for my Teal Mask team.

Snorlax or Furret?

Yes I know Furret is objectively trash but it's cute

Your Pokemon can follow you.

It'd be a crime to not have Furret walk all over Kitakami.

So what are we thinking are gonna be the version exclusives to the DLC?


Seedot and Lotad seem like an obvious pick, as do Vulpix and Sandshrew.

Something goofy probably. Like Yanma's in Scarlet but Tangela's in Violet.
Either way it doesn't matter. When you have every other Switch game, version exclusives don't mean ****

 

[Megadoomer]

I just beat Halo 2 for the first time, and I can see why people were annoyed by how it ended back in the day. I'm going to take a break from first person shooters for a bit, though I'm debating on what to focus on next. (Tears of the Kingdom? Persona 5 Royal? Pikmin 4?)

Also, I know nothing about the Witcher as a series - what's it like? (I got the Witcher 2 a while back through Xbox Games With Gold, so that's another one that I'm considering)

After all these years, I forgot what the SpongeBob wormy close up looked like, so I decided to look it up to see if I ever had a reason to fear it...

Just a followup to my thought process because it's still occupying my head. It was really hard and really fun to think of thematically appropriate tracks for all the characters that weren't all just something scary. And some of them make no sense at all, about as much sense as giving Donkey Kong a ski resort racetrack honestly. But at a certain point I think it gets so ridiculous that it's fun. All the adjectives making the racetrack names super long winded just amuses me.

King-ohger In Fortnite

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Unfortunately it looks to be another Creative Map Only collab with no cosmetics and no advertising from Epic which means it is not an official collab.

Well, I got an Aipom from HOME luckily.


Probably going to be hitting up the GTS quite a bit once the HOME update ends and the version exclusives are sussed out.

Their music is actually pretty good now, I really liked most of the songs.
