GAF and the people behind the #PS4noDRM twitter movement that started there are in full on party mode. I don't know how this is going to work out for Microsoft's fortunes (perception is everything in this market and MS even attempting this has to have soured a [tornado fang] load of people buying next gen stuff), but I'm positively thrilled as a gamer to see that our voices were heard.

Now everyone's focusing on Nintendo again because of MS also going full hog and making all of the Xbox One systems region free. THAT was a surprise.

Rockman Series / Re: Super Speculation Bros. Mega Man

« on: June 14, 2013, 06:49:33 PM »

I hope that most of the Megaman music is done in the style of the Chiptune Rockman album. All comprised of 8-bit compositions but with variance and production values that exceed the medium.

I'm also going to riot if Flash In The Dark (MM9), Strange World (MM9), Commando Man (MM10), Silent Rain (MM10), No Turning Back (MM10), King Stages (MM&B), Awakening Road (MMX intro stage), Bubble Crab (MMX2), Gravity Beetle (MMX3 - SNES), Toxic Seahorse (MMX3 - SNES), and like a shitton of further unnamed songs within Classic, X and Zero don't get in.

Smash U and 3DSmash work well enough for me.

Pffffft. Peach? Fox? Captain Falcon? You were no PB when it came to using those two! 

For the record, Lou & I still think that the Kirby/Captain Falcon Double Falcon Punch Death is still the greatest moment of Brawl ever! 

Oh man, I still have all of my Brawl replays on hand. One day, I'm going to make a montage of all the funny stuff that went down in our matches and put it up on Youtube. My personal favorite (even after the Kirby/Falcon Double Panch) was the Falcon/Ganondorf punch on poor Lou's Ike that one time.

I want the [tornado fang] out of both those things and if I didn't already know how a GAF thread on the matter would look, I'd have a thread up there too just to get the word out. Anyone here with high up connections on Twitter they'd like to use? Now's the chance to use them.

Gaming / Kamiya Wants To Do StarFox & Murasame Castle; Wanna start an interest campaign?

« on: June 14, 2013, 04:46:54 AM »

So, after reading this:

Of course I'd like to work together with Nintendo to make original games going forward. But as far as Nintendo franchises, the reality is that these are big franchises that have lots of fans and lots of history and it'd be really hard in my position to say 'Oh, let me make one of these games.' But tomorrow, if suddenly somebody came to me and said "We want you to make Star Fox," of course I would be pleased. So Star Fox is one, another series, Murasame Jō. I grew up on Nintendo games so there's a whole lot of respect for those.

Source

And hearing of the multiple times over the past few years where Hideki Kamiya (of Devil May Cry 1, Viewtiful Joe 1, Okami, and Bayonetta fame) has name dropped these two franchises as ones he would love to work with Nintendo on, I had a bit of a funny idea come to mind. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this idea is interesting, so why not gently nudge @Nintendo on twitter with a show of interest from the fans?

Keep in mind, this is not a "OMG LETS GO BATSHIT BECAUSE ITS HAPPENING" deal. This is just a small  attempt at showing Nintendo that the interest is there.

Participation is simple. For those of you with a Twitter account, simply click "Retweet" on this particular tweet and you're on your way. If you would like to go above and beyond the call, try to get friends who are similarly interested in something like this happening to retweet the original message and spread the word!

Feel free to discuss either the article or my silly little attempt at a Twitter Campaign here.

Also any character that Jericho can use well should be removed. (Death to Lucas!)
Joking aside though if they are going to remove clones instead of tweaking them then I wouldnt mind if they became skins for another character. Like Ness/Lucas and Fox/Falco.

Do you remember how many characters I was good with back during Brawl's prime?

Mario
Luigi
Peach
Ganondorf
Marth
Ike
Lucas
Pit
C. Falcon (to an extent)
Fox

I hope you can enjoy a Smash without those guys.

Meanwhile, this recent Smash reminicing reminds me, where's Wanda? I miss fighting her.

What was his up smash again?

The upward grenade launcher thing.

Going back a few topics in this thread re: Fire Emblem characters, I really think that after Awakening and the strong performance it put up and high visibility it gave the series, there's no justice if the series doesn't get three reps (4 in my batshit fantasy realm). I'd handle it as such:

Marth: Pretty much permanently the face of the franchise in Smash because of seniority as the first main character and being a cornerstone in the game from Melee onward.

Chrom + Lucina: The new hotness. Duo'd up to play off of their relationship within Fire Emblem Awakening, one of the defining mechanics in the game (the double arts/offense), and to further explore the Ice Climbers "duality" concept in the roster because let's be honest, that gimmick has WAY more potential that isn't being used currently.

Tharja: An alternative to the mandatory Fire Emblem "sword dudes/dudettes 'r us" that everyone expects. Brings another fun female into the mix, magic based gameplay which can lead to takes better or more alternative than Zelda's (who is pretty much the only other character in the previous rosters that uses magic...) and of course dat ass.

At the same time I said keep Ike and whatnot previously, I wouldn't be too upset if he got replaced. On the other hand, I firmly believe that this Smash should not be about removing or replacing characters and should instead be about bolstering series numbers and making every cast member as unique and well realized as possible.

Lucina all the way!

Out with Marth and in with Lucina. Sorry Jericho but she has boobs... i mean she is a fresh face and will bring something ...... yeah... boobs.

Nope. Keep Marth, keep Ike, Lucina + Chrom duo and get Tharja because dat ass/magic.

I'm down for Tharja if she's magic folk (haven't played FE:Awakening yet sadly). Smash needs more spellcaster craziness. Speaking of rumors:

My understanding this particular Direct would be week after next, early that week. That was the plan for this particular direct, so evidently they moved it so it can be during E3 itself...interesting. I'm still thinking there may be a smaller Mini direct week after next though. So as to not spill the beans, ill share what I believe will be the contents of this Dorect along with a few tidbits about each thing. It's going to be a largely Wii U Direct. These aren't in any particular order of actual showing, rather its going by what things people want to hear the most about.

1. Retro: Finally after at least a few years development, their game is finally ready to be unveiled. What is it? It's an old Nintendo IP that people have wanted them to do for a while, but no one thought they had the guts to do it-but they did. I'm very happy with the one they chose to do. It'll definitely fall into that "Wooooo helllll yeah!!!" category for a vast majority I think. Trailer set to be shown at the Direct.

2. Mario....wow is everyone in for a really huge treat with this!!! I know the exact title of the latest adventure. Everything's been so vague hint wise so ill say something a little more exact about it. That 100 Year Guy is right on one thing-it's an enormously large, grand adventure in scope and size. Development began on Wii, not too long after Galaxy 2 was done. This adventure brings together a lot of levels, concepts, ideas, level types, mechanics and characters people have been begging for a long time for. Maybe you'll finally see Wart again this time it makes very clever, imaginative use of the game pad but its definitely not forced. You can certainly play with traditional controls. Trailer and a giid look at game play on the Direct. Release set for late October. This October.

3. Zelda. First the bad news..it's a mid 2015 title at the soonest. They are debating between middle and Thanksgiving/Christmas 2015. Aim is to have most of if not all the game to look like that tech demo from 2 years ago. Story is the longest and grandest in the series. You MAY see some brief concept art at this E3 but they're looking more to fully unveil it early next year. They're debating between a few ideas as well as concepts and which they want to use. They want a familiar yet really fresh take on this for everyone. How soon you'll get it depends on that. They may again make a brief mention at this direct with the understanding it's still too early to show. No exact title yet. Just Zelda Wii U ATM.

4. Mario Kart U....this mighta changed but last impression I got from it is its basically a souped up Mario Kart 7...literally. Think that, online play if course and Miiverse integration slapped in. It should be out in time for this Christmas 2013. Aim was to bring out something for the U that's on the safe side that's guaranteed to help jump start the U. Some added tweaks and whistles here and there. Trailer plus some gameplay at the Direct.

5. Super Smash Bros. 4...As promised by Mr. Iwata and Reggie, it will finally be unveiled during this Direct. What you're about to see is...odd. How to describe...there will be an unveil trailer, and during this trailer a few characters in the. Roster will be announced. All the others are black shadowy silhouettes. You should get a good idea who some of them are, others will be "Who the hell's that supposed to be!?" The full roster will be gradually unveiled from now till release. Release is aiming for Thanksgiving 2014. It might slip to closer to Christmas though. The aim is to launch both the 3DS and U games same day, so they'll do what it takes to get that to happen. This is the big 2014 game for Nintendo. 3DS version is further along than the U one. That one will also be shown on th Direct. Some parts of U version done, others still cooking. Coding, etc set to start in earnest this fall. It looks great

6. General Wii U...possibly price cut, they really would rather not but they understand this nay be the only way to re jump start it. Possible Ambassador Program 2, looking at a few neat ideas for that. They will attempt one last time to very clearly communicate what the U is and isn't. They want to get people excited again and show good value.

X and Yarn Yoshi will have trailers. Both 2014 games. SMT x Fire Emblem is still too soon to show, but it's a really weird ass collaboration project-will be in a good way for fans of both,

One final huge surprise.,.its both a oh hell this makes sense and with kind of thing rolled into one. The aim is to introduce it fully in Fall of Winter. Timing still being decided. May or may not be announced at the Direct.

That's all for your Nintendo stockings, see you all after E3

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=58880189&postcount=490

Holy crap I better address all these quoted posts really damn fast!!

Regarding Retro, it's Star Tropics U. I posted that a few weeks ago and stand by it.

Regarding Mario,,giving the exact title's a lot riskier..rather ill state one of the titles that was being debated and that should give you a good idea what the final title is...Super Mario Retroverse U.

Regarding Mario Kart..believe me, I expected an all new game too and am surprised its just a souped up 7. If you wanna sell to a potential username, with guaranteed sales sometimes you need to play it safe with something that's sold well.

Regarding Smash Bros...in the trailer, with the silhouette stuff, the camera is flying down an open space with the characters standing on the sides. There's a LOT if characters this time. Samurai had said he didn't want as many but they decided to go all out this time for the fans. They're wanting to do a Dojo type thing again since the last time was received very well.

Regarding 3DS direct: the U and 3DS directs are bith happening period. They had to decide 3DS or U first. Due to the U's situation and anxious people U is going first. 3DS a few days later.

Regarding Zelda: I saw one post say bs because how can I be so detailed with a 2015 game. I don't know the exact storyline for the new game. I only know its the longest in the series. I also stand by they're trying to decide which core concept to go with..they're looking for a happy middle between those that want an easier, more hand hoody experience and those that want something far more difficult. At the same time provide something more open world. THAT'S what's making development take quite a while.

Here's why I hate rumor mongering..some people who do get inside info are in fact correct but this stuff can change daily, hell hourly and if that happens then you have egg on your face. Look at Retro last year. That trailer was in the actual presentation schedule and got pulled at the last possible moment. That's why this rumor stuff can be so shaky. Some of us try to be generous and if it changes on a dime you're left in a bad spot. As of right now, Retro, 3D Mario, kart, Smash, trailers for X and Yoshi..all 100 percent sure to be in that direct. If any mod has any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM. As of this hour I can stand by my statements.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=58907005&postcount=637

I can't even pretend to be completely cynical/rational when someone brings up StarTropics in a rumor set. Maybe I'm just enjoying the high of people actually talking about that series again for real, but damn I'd be hype as [parasitic bomb] if that happened.

I usually include Vita when I make that claim elsewhere, but I don't know about doing that until we see the string of games pick up for it. Right now, it's stuck in that "DS just hit it's stride and is starving PSP of games" period except Vita is the new PSP and 3DS is doing the same thing DS was.

And they say that Nintendo should pull a Sega.

Best end would be Microsoft committing suicide and Sega claiming the third pillar. Goddamn I miss console Sega so much.

I honestly don't feel as worried for Nintendo's output in the face of all this now. People are responding with full uncensored disappointment where appropriate towards Xbox One and with Nintendo steadily approaching the point where they can get the heavy hitters out in regular fashion (even in the face of their own mistakes and ineptitudes/inabilities to move fast to correct their mistakes) as well as Super Saiyan Sony there ready to make every right move from the jump, it won't take much for Microsoft to either wise up or get demoted out of the picture.

Sorry guys, I've been slacking on my Nintendo news posting here, but yeah. Cool [parasitic bomb] went down about 6 hours ago and in about an hour or so, you might want to head to your preferred place to watch Nintendo Directs, because the game reel is getting showcased.

I'm headed to Nintendo World in Manhattan to mingle with the people there and watch the livestream of the event. See you later maybe with videos and pictures.
