Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[SnakeFighter64]

Beyond Donkey kong, Punch out, Luigi's mansion and Mario Kart i dont know what other Arcade stuff nintendo has off the top of my head.

Radar Scope, Sherrif, Space Fire Bird… Arcade Popeye… Arm Westling

 

[Wario Bros.]

Sky Skipper is another arcade Nintendo game (available on Switch). There's also Popeye and they had Killer Instinct too until Microsoft bought it from them.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Mario Bros., Donkey Kong sequels, the VS. Arcade System versions of a whole bunch of NES titles, some pre NES titles like Sheriff, Space Firebird, etc., the Punch-Out spinoff Arm Wrestling and I guess Cruis'n but Raw Thrills handles most of the arcade releases for that.

I cant believe i forgot Cruis'n, i love cruis'n

The new Tiny Toons show has a trailer:

 

[TMNTSSB4]

They lent their titles to Hamster's Arcade Archives.

They're also providing input into the world's largest Donkey Kong.

Strong Museum Making The World's "Largest, Playable" Donkey Kong Cabinet

Nintendo of America is "providing input on the project"

www.nintendolife.com

well that’s cool

I mean. They already do. Nintendo doesn’t manufacture their own plushies and sticker books and action figures and Lego sets. Or even the console hardware. They partnered with NVIDIA to manufacture the switch. And Nintendo doesn’t build arcade cabinets.

I was more concerned about the games than the everything else, but platinum already brought in evidence that’ll show less or no issues

The new Tiny Toons show has a trailer:

It all looked nice until a fart joke popped up. Not too bad, though.

 

[Noipoi]

The new Tiny Toons show has a trailer:

Can't say I'm impressed honestly

 

[SnakeFighter64]

The new Tiny Toons show has a trailer:

It looks ok. But the new VOs don't quite sound like the characters to me yet. It'll have to grow on me. I really hope the focus on slapstick and bizarre expressions in the trailer is just to draw the kids in and the show is better than that. The Animaniacs reboot was really good. This deserves to be too.

Question of the day: who's the best Crystal Gem in SU?

It's Amethyst.

 

[Shroob]

So uh


Wonder Trading is ****ed


There are SOO many bots now.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Go play Megaman Battle network Legacy collection.


Battle ntwork is the goat Megaman series

that is all.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

So uh


Wonder Trading is ****ed


There are SOO many bots now.

Wonder Trading? Forgive me, but what is that?

 

[PLATINUM7]

Wonder Trading? Forgive me, but what is that?

Blind random trades.

 

[Shroob]

Wonder Trading? Forgive me, but what is that?

Surprise trade, etc.


It's the feature in newer Pokemon games where you trade a Pokemon with a random person.


A lot of bots have moved over from Sword/Shield into Scar/Vio and are mass sending genned Shinies with names that advertise their genning websites.

 

[TheMightyP]

I haven't WT in SV yet but in SwSh the amount if Shiny Bots were INSANE

 

[Shroob]

For a long, looooooooooong time it felt like there weren't any/many bots in Scar/Vio.


Now not soo much.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

50 years ago was 1973, and around the Spring time period that year (March specifically), they had the iconic storyline “The Night Gwen Stacy Died”…so it feels like Mary Jane is gonna die for no reason beyond “shock” when in reality it’ll just be mercy and worthlessness

 

[Shroob]

When the Blissey raids return

Bottom text

 

[TheMightyP]

Now not soo much.

Well, that's two games I love that have an insane bot issue that won't be fixed.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Is there any way Nintendo or Game Freak to counter this WT problem?

Also, are 6 IV mons in this mix?

Oh, I see. What are these bots doing to the game, exactly?

 

[Shroob]

Yeah, they're usually all perfect, shiny Pokemon with 6IVs and even some rare held items.


As for countering it, I mean they didn't in Sword/Shield so, lol, lmao.

 

[TheMightyP]

Oh, I see. What are these bots doing to the game, exactly?

They're going "Nice Shot Mate" and annoyingly spinning and instant sniping any Shiny in the area. Also boots you for cheating if you get enough of them

I see. I don't play the game myself, but I do hope something is done about this.

 

[Shroob]

Well, I said what they're doing.


Basically they're queueing up for Surprise Trade and sending a ton of Genned Shiny Pokemon out.


While I normally wouldn't care about this, the thing is, all the Pokemon have nicknames of their personal websites which are meant to direct people to them where they can proceed to buy Pokemon.


It's one thing to just send a random genned shiny out into the Wild, it's another when you're trying to make profit off it, esp when soo many kids play this game.

It's only a matter of time before they start getting to spam malicious sites. Kids don't know safe internet browsing and something's gonna happen.

It's especially worrying because the Pokemon community has a bad history of . One wrong click, and kids can get exploited like that. Now I hope it doesn't get to that point but in this age with discord bots being everywhere...

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Ugh, I hate bots! I wonder why they're even allowed to be on sites? They are so annoying.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Question of the day: who's the best Crystal Gem in SU?

It's Amethyst.

This is the only correct answer.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Regardless, my interest in playing Scarlet went down significantly ever since finishing the story and Paldea Dex so this bot this isn't really a concern for me.

Just waiting fo dat DLC.

 

[Shroob]

I've never really cared about hacked Pokemon, considering I have a collection of all breedable, currently unobtainable Pokemon in Scar/Vio like Hisuian Sneasel, Alolan Grimer, etc. Since they're all bred legitimately, even if one of the parents was hacked, the game considers them legit, so good enough for me.


The sticking point is the advertising and exploitation of kids.

It's legit scary. I know kids already take some lessons on safe browsinf, but there needs to be some lessons on safe gaming too. Feels increasingly common hearing kids get stuck in a trap because they think they can get cool items in a video game if they just follow a link. Happened to Fortnite, happened to Roblox, and now it has the potential to happen to Pokemon.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

So recently I learned that the background texture of the Ghostly Galaxy (as well as Bonefin Galaxy and Boo's Boneyard Galaxy) from Super Mario Galaxy is actually a reused asset from the background seen through the cracks of the Wind Waker's Ghost Ship.

I always thought they looked very similar ever since I first got to the Ghost Ship, but I wasn't aware or at least certain they were literally the exact same asset, just slightly edited, until like just a week ago lmao. It's nice to actually have definitive answer to something I always thought was an intriguing similarity or coincidence growing up.

(For reference, Ghostly Galaxy's background is the one on the left. The original texture from Wind Waker is on the right.)

 

[Wario Bros.]

So ever since the Terapagos look alike popped up, the Pokémon socials, including the TCG one have, been posting turtle related stuff (including making a ****ing The Master of Disguise reference)

Wonder if this will be going somewhere soon.

It ain't anything new tbh.


Look at TF2. The reddit pretty much daily has people either asking if "Insert random steam message I just got here" is a Scam, or that their entire steam account was hijacked because they fell for a scam.

Hell, it's even older than that but you get the picture.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Question out of curiosity, who thinks capitalism should be replaced?

I mean, it is highly unlikely to probably being borderline nigh impossible, if you know what I mean, but I think this country would be better than the so flawed capitalism system. Heck! I would even go so far as to say allowing capitalism to be what the USA runs on was a mistake.

Okay but for real


Are you turtley enough for the Turtle Club?

Oh I'm not saying it's new.

I'm saying it's increasingly prevelant because now we got new sites popping up left and right and they all promise being totally safe. You don't gotta go to page 3 of google for the payload, now all it does is take a temp Discord account. Now all it takes clicking a link on a Tweet that's been botted to make it seem legit. Just click on the link on a Youtube channel. It's easy as hell now, and it's out on the open on sites that millions use

 

[Shroob]

Oh right, is the Scar/Vio patch April 20th our time or Japan time?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Probably Japan

 

[Will]

So uh


Wonder Trading is ****ed


There are SOO many bots now.

Man my ass back in 2013 would be lurking live wonder trade streams from poketubers so I had a higher chance of getting something very good.
