Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Wario Bros.]

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts turned 15 years old very recently. Best things to happen the IP after that were Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

I still don't have faith In a new game.

 

[Aurane]

Oh god I'm playing Warframe again but it's on the Xbox series x and not the Switch. So ****ing good.

 

[Perkilator]

Quoting from the Mario Kart 8 thread:

Okay, so…now that Mario Kart 8 is officially over, what you change about the racer and track lineup?

 

[Aurane]

Quoting from the Mario Kart 8 thread:

Answered this over there. I think thats the first post I made outside of general and my profile posts in years.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I thought it was because we all believed the world was gonna end

And all we got outta THAT belief was a mediocre movie and sometimes a cool R.E.M. song played on the radio

(Though, I Love It actually got big in 2013 anywho-)

 

[osby]

That's because it did end.

We've all spent the past decade in purgatory, where we'll all be stuck posting crummy memes and lukewarm takes on Smasbboards.com for the next thousand or so years.

Wdym, Smashboards has some of the hottest takes you'll ever see like "mainline Pokemon is getting stale", "TTYD is the best Paper Mario, "Ganondorf needs a new moveset in Smash" and ever bold "Fire Emblem bad".

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Check this out, guys!

 

[Wario Bros.]

Indie Worlds hardly ever show stuff that speaks to me but I'll still give it a watch.

 

[TheMightyP]

You know, I understand why people want to record and post memories and experiences online, like I really do, but there are some things people really shouldn't post and keep to themselves.

 

[Knight Dude]

Hey, been drawing stuff again. Hope life is treating you guys as well as it can, with all the War BS and Congo BS going on right now. On the bright side the people who worked on Coyote vs ACME get to shop their movie around after the Tax Write-Off crap. And the new Tekken character looks kind of cool.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Anyways, I drew Batman Beyond. Been meaning to get to him since I've draw Spider-Man 2099, who's a personal fave a few times and also Miles Morales who is pretty alright, you'd think Terry would've been done sooner since I also like him a lot.

Wdym, Smashboards has some of the hottest takes you'll ever see like "mainline Pokemon is getting stale", "TTYD is the best Paper Mario, "Ganondorf needs a new moveset in Smash" and ever bold "Fire Emblem bad".

And the bold, Mega Man is Peak Fiction.

We're stuck in a lame 2010s cartoon theory

Afraid if Xbox announces another acquisition at TGA.

Yall hear that? The Sonic Bots are activating

Garfield movie trailer

Hearing a normal Chris Pratt voice coming out of Garfield's mouth sounds so off. Otherwise it looks really promising (can't mess up as a badly as the live-action one).

 

[SneakyLink]

After Activision Blizzard? I think they’ll cool their heels for now.

 

[Lamperouge]

I wouldn't be surprised if Baldur's Gate 3 took it tbh.

 

[TheMightyP]

This is just 2017 where it's Breath of the Wild vs Super Mario Odyssey again.

Idk this is a really strong field. I don't think either Nintendo game will (and imo Mario shouldn't) win GOTY.

 

[Arcanir]

This is just 2017 where it's Breath of the Wild vs Super Mario Odyssey again.

I'd be surprised if it was a blowout in just those two's favor, most (if not all) of the other games on that list have a very strong following themselves from what I've seen.

Aren't all these games considered remarkably good? This is actually a decent line-up for the Game Awards this time.

My bets are on Spider-Man, Zelda and Baldur's Gate.

 

[Noipoi]

the **** a bear game will be GOTY

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Is Ian Flynn even interested in writing game characters these days? The last time I checked IDW comics, it was all his OCs.

He recently wrote for Jet’s gang and unintentionally made Vanilla a meme worthy badass

This is just 2017 where it's Breath of the Wild vs Super Mario Odyssey again.

+ Spider-Man

Idk this is a really strong field. I don't think either Nintendo game will (and imo Mario shouldn't) win GOTY.

I can’t see any other game winning between the Nintendo and Spidey games tbh. That’s a triple threat of god tier gaming right there

Idk I heard Baldur's Gate and Alam Wake are REALLY good, like out of this entire list Mario is the odd one out

All it takes is bear sex to make you GOTY

 

[Schnee117]

Mario is easily the weakest game there yeah.
Street Fighter 6 should be there instead but as you can see from the eSport nominations, Geoff still hates fighting games that aren't Smash which is only carried by the roster

Tbf Smash did deserve the win when it was nominated (it was a very weak year aside from that).

But on SF6... Mortal Kombat is winning it I fear. And Zelda being nominated for best soundtrack when 90% of it is just BoTW and PUBG getting nominated at all in 2023 is unserious work.

 

[SneakyLink]

For those curious, Best Fighting game nominees are:

Spoiler

God of Rock
Mortal Kombat 1
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
Pocket Bravery
Street Fighter 6

NASB2.

Yeah, even as someone who's interested in the game, I'm fairly confident that one's not winning lmao.

And while that's a perfectly valid point...

...The drop from Dragon Roost Island/Rito Village in this boss battle song is a thing of true beauty.

TGA season?

Almost forgot, Best Adaptation nominees:

[Noipoi]

Anyone see the trailer for the Garfield movie?

In Mario, you can tell that Chris Pratt is at least attempting to do a voice. Here it's just Pratt, he doesn't sound like Garfield at all.

Why do we keep getting this guy?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Idk I heard Baldur's Gate and Alam Wake are REALLY good, like out of this entire list Mario is the odd one out

Despite the looks and acid trips, Mario doesn’t feel like an odd man out of the group. Mostly gives me a 2015 feel when Mario Maker went up against a lot of realistic games. As for BG and AW…I got nothing to say on those since I haven’t really looked at anything related to it beyond a MightyKeef skit about getting caught doing the virtual dirty dirty (and then being shamed by the parents catching them)

 

[Knight Dude]

Gravity Circuit could've been in the indie debut section if you ask me. But it is what it is, a lot of these type of award shows have the clear favorites. Though GOTY is fairly stacked. But I do sorta question Mario Wonder's placement, but that might be due to my preference to 3D Mario over 2D Mario.

Almost forgot, Best Adaptation nominees:

Spoiler

Gran Turismo
The Last of Us
Twisted Metal
Castlevania Nocturne
The Super Mario Bros Movie

Twisted Metal Sweep. If only because it's the only thing to make people talk about Peacock the streaming service since...ever really.

Here's the cropped version of the art I posted today.

[Guynamednelson]

Yeah, even as someone who's interested in the game, I'm fairly confident that one's not winning lmao.

Still gonna get more votes than...those other two that aren't MK1 and SF6.

They were really desperate to have five choices for new fighting games this year weren't they?

Out of those, I've played Spider-Man, Mario and TotK.

I bought Baldur's Gate 3 the other day since people speak so highly of it I figured it was worth trying. So far my pick for GOTY is easily TotK.

 

[Lamperouge]

After what feels like an eternity of playing this game, I finally managed to get Platinum medals for every mission and side story in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Really thought I was going to have to settle for Gold on a few of them, particularly the DLC missions from the Wii U version, but I persisted and figured out better ways to optimize my routes. I'm definitely no expert Pikmin player but it was still extremely satisfying when things went well.

I still want to get the rest of the badges I'm missing but I think that can wait for when I eventually return to this game.

This isn’t even a category lmao. I think we all know what’s taking it.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Finished voting on the categories I could do. Haven't played much on the lists but a lot Hi-Fi Rush and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
