Man I can change my text color? Neat. Wonder if I can set it to stay this color or something. Uh what are we talking about? Spooderman?

Is Yume Nikki really that obscure? Sure, maybe Madotsuki herself is, but Uboa is relatively well-known as is the game as a whole.


Also that last page made me feel like a ****ing fossil.

As a Nitro Rad fan, seeing "Yume Nikki is obscure" freaks me the **** out. It's like when I'm reminded Capcom's best selling franchise isn't from a fighting game but rather Resident Evil
I think it's less "the game being obscure" and more "people nowadays don't know about this game". Back in the late 00s and early 10s it had quite the following. Every month there was a new fangame being released. Nowadays people only talk about Undertale, Bendy and Cuphead.

I still will be very upset if they don't add Saki Amamiya back in whatever capacity.



Seriously, why did he get cut? Easily was one of my favorite ATs overall.

No, there's no way...

At least he got a Mii costume. Even though he can't slash as a Mii Gunner.

For a brief moment I thought datamining revealed he was considered for the game before being cut like I suspect Monster Hunter was until I realized you were talking about his assist being cut.

tbh I wouldn't even mind a new fighter ballot, though things might get ****ty when a fan favorite inevitably loses and people get angry because they thought their decade-old character that hasn't had a new game in years was popular among casuals whose votes count just as much as yours

(seriously isabelle's widespread positive reception should be proof that the beliefs held by smashboards and reddit and all the more hardcore smash communities don't necessarily reflect the majority's views)
Throughout speculation, I find that we as a fanbase have a nasty habit of underplaying certain characters that don't fit within our sphere of influence. Isabelle was the one who bore the blunt of that this time around, but characters like Lucario and Rosalina have also gotten falsely accused of being more unpopular then they actually are just because they don't check off what we think should get in over other characters. It really goes to show that sometimes we need to pay attention to what a broader audience is asking for with characters then just what we exclusively want, because if we stay within our bubble we tend to get blindsided by characters that should've been more expected in hindsight.

I seriously expect something Smash related to be announced day 21. Missing the series 20th Anniversary without anything would be weird.

I mainly just know Yume Nikki for two things:

1. It was one of the inspirations for tons of indie games, including Undertale and DDLC
2. Uboa, specifically, inspired Gaster.

It's influential at the very least.

So quick question.

Valkyria Chronicles has always been something I wanna get into, but I'm unsure. I'm talking about the HD remaster of the original that's on the Switch.

That $19.99 price is pretty alluring, while Valkyria 4's 59.99 is... Hmm.

I wanna start with 1, so should I go for it?

It was the game that popularized RPG Maker games. I think that RPG Maker wouldn't have been as popular back in the day if Yume Nikki didn't give it a push. God... I feel old now.

I've played TF2 Death Run map that is surreal as hell, that just so happens to feature Uboa as one of the traps, and has other images and at least one song from the Yume Nikki in a nearby section of the same map.

Team Fortress 2 and it's modding community are thus the only reasons I know about Yume Nikki.

4 is basically a back-to-basics game after 2 and 3 deviated quite a bit, so Chronicles 1 is a very accurate representation (bar some technical upgrades) of what you can expect from 4. Go for it if you don't want to put down the full 59.99.

4 also has a pretty long demo, so there's that too.

Good stuff. What about story and music? The big reason I'm not putting down full 60 on Octopath is the characters not interacting with each other.

Hey guys , what you guys think of this "leak":

http://boards.4channel.org/v/thread/447401904

It's a new Crash render i think
ye gods it's hideous

Music's decent in both, though never anything to write home about (to be honest, I can't really remember any individual tracks from either). The stories veer into anime trope territory a little frequently, but it's still all nicely told and presented for what it is.

I was testing Sonic out today just for laughs. I didn't like him at all the first time I played him, but after playing his Classic, he started growing on me more.

After playing more of him today, he's...weird. Playing Sonic is kind of weird to me, lol. I think I understand some of how he works, but TBH I'm still not sure if he's for me. He has Inkling's struggle with kill power but none of Inkling's perks to make up for it, it feels like. I also distinctly remember U-Air being able to kill back in Smash 4, buuuut I could be misremembering.

Here's the first thing you need to know about playing Sonic.

The only one you listed that was Shogakukan/Hakusensha was Guts lol
I know. I was just listing who I thought'd would be cool guest characters, and those came to mind. Really, if a Jump game gets guest characters I'm good with anyone aside from Fairy Tail and Sword Art Online. Keep those two faaaaaar away.

I don't know, Splatoon is massive in Japan. I'm pretty sure 2 is the best selling Switch game over there, and not by a small amount.
give me the sauce and maybe i'll consider

Why? They've made impacts of the industry in their own way. :p

A good IP from Shogakukan would be any of Rumiko Takahashi's works, like Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha. Also Golgo 13 (one of the highest selling mangas ever).

Hey Zinith Zinith , quick Yoshi question:

Is there any good utility for Side-B? I've tried messing around with it a few times, but I don't feel like I understand how the move works or when the right time to use it is (if there is one).

Here's the first thing you need to know about playing Sonic.

You gotta go fast.
...I try to go fast, but then I Down-Air SD. :c

What's weird to me is that Inkling's are supposedly faster than Sonic in this game, but he feels more slippery than them, lol.

EDIT: Lol, I meant Dair, not Down B.

I asked the Yoshi Server and it seems like it's mostly used for escapes and mixups. EEEEeeeehhh :yoshi:
