I know there will always be disappointed people. But props to Nintendo making a really good lineup this year. How did they do it with Covid and all? A rather remarkable feat IMO.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

All I say is if we did get a Namco fighter, I'd really prefer like Nightmare or someone else from Soul Calibur, but I do see the importance of Tekken in Smash
It is genuinely funny that Smash Ultimate has turned into the "Fighting Game All-Stars"

Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, Tekken

Keep going Sakurai, put in Sub Zero, too. They really delivered on their promise to be Ultimate, there's so many third party characters involved.

I was wondering the same thing and then I remembered the really toxic Japanese work environment... :unsmith: Honestly not sure how modern Nintendo fits into that these days, though.

Everything they showed looked good though. WarioWare and Metroid and BOTW2 :thumbsup:

A MK character is extremely unlikely but it's getting more likely every reveal. MK is very quickly becoming the last big classic fighting game franchise not in Smash lol

If we're getting anyone for Smash though it'd have to be Johnny. You cannot pass up the chance to nut-shot Sephiroth

I typed random avatar and this happened.
Sighs ..fine, I’ll buy a switch. But a used one on Amazon for 150 without joycons and a third party controller since I don’t play games outside my house.

So, Metroid Dread, Mario Odyssey and what other switch exclusives should I play?

yeah there's just a certain level of violence that's a wall in Japanese properties. Even Sephiroth's biggest moment, where he literally murders a lady on screen right in front of you, was a bloodless and dramatic affair.

because people would say "WHAT IS THIS ANIME poo poo". but actually, idk. if i were to take anything out of the direct it'd probably be strange brigade because no one cares about that game, and i'm someone who soloed the whole thing

yeah it seems to me like there is no switch pro and insiders are going to have to move the goalposts again

Or maybe she did exactly what she meant to do which was to lower everyone's expectations?

Or maybe she works for Sony, and her hyping people up for a rival manufacturers presentation would be a contradiction of corporate interests

The fact of the matter is no single format is going to please anyone or even a majority of people, so they should go back to letting Jamie Kennedy angrily host everything while high while Joel McHale cohosts and makes fun of everything within eyesight.

Direct sequels are rare in Zelda titles, but Aonuma saw something special about Breath of the Wild and wanted to create a new experience. "One of the reasons we wanted to create a continuation was because I wanted to revisit that Hyrule again and use that world again, while incorporating new gameplay and new story," he says.

if monster hunter didn't exist but stories did, this would be a pretty unique looking jrpg. the stylization isn't quite pushed enough though, elements of this village feel a bit like "monster hunter downgraded" rather than "cartoony monster hunter"

also, going back to what i said about yokai watch the other day, Yokai Watch 4 was again a no show in a Nintendo event, and that was probably the only chance for there to be a localization of the game. I'd say it's dead.

Game Theorytm. There was single sentence in an interview about the sequel being in the same world, which was probably just referring to the game using the same setting and characters from BotW (since it's pretty common for Zelda games to be totally disconnected) but which made some content-starved website write an article about how BotW 2 was using the exact same world map as the first one.

Also it was originally conceived as DLC until they realized they had too much and should probably go ahead and make a full game out of it, IIRC
