rEduce, rEuse, rEcycle -- E3 2017 Extravaganza!

I don't know if I want to sit through 6 hours of video footage of the new Zelda to see that part, but I'll try.

So there's more Nintendo tomorrow? What time?

[Sakura Leic]

Not Today but 10 AM Pacific Time Tomorrow.

.........

[Mirby]

Considering it's part of the first segment, as I said, you should come across it fairly quickly lol

[VirusChris]

Ah, well that's nice to know.

I wonder what kinda outfits Link can wear? I like to have the Goron Tunic back again or something red in color for him to wear.

All it's missing is the Xenoblade Chronicles and it will be perfect!

EDIT: Oh wait it is there!

10/10!

Updated the first post with Nintendo's Day 2 schedule.

Giving this a like for ending it with "& Knuckles"

[Amatiramisu]

Absolutely nailed it.

[Sakura Leic]

If only we could edit that Shin Megami Tensei Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry 3 to say featuring Wolf Link.

But that would be Zelda, not another franchise.

[Sakura Leic]

Right, right, what was I thinking.

[Hypershell]

Make sure you get Twilight Princess HD and the Wolf Link Amiibo so you can have Wolf Link as a Hunting Dog!

Question: I've only gotten the footnotes of today's E3, but it seems to me the ONLY piece of info that Breath of the Wild takes from your Wolf Link Amiibo is remaining hearts, right?  Like, which leg of the cave you're on, which Amiibos used to clear it, none of those are relevant?

In that case, any newcomers: Clear the Cave of Shadows BEFORE CLEARING THE PALACE OF TWILIGHT.  You can get 19 hearts on the two-leg Cave easily enough.  But the full Cave is an absolute [sonic slicer].

I have 12-ish hearts and no Zelda/Sheik Amiibo to fall back on (and on Hero Mode, no less), so I think I need to resume my game from my spare pre-Stallord save and just replay/recollect heart pieces to get the 19.  Even if I clear the full Cave as-is there is no way in hell I'm going to have much in the way of hearts to spare.



So I don't know if Nintendo talked about this yet at E3, but it is on their E3 website and they did sent out a PR email about it:  Another wave of "Super Mario" Amiibo.

Newbies are:
-HI, I'M DAISY AND HYPERSHELL IS TOTALLY BUYING ME ON DAY ONE.
-Waluigi
-Boo (glows in the dark)

The new wave will also include non-Smash versions of Wario (I'm amazed it took them this long, overalls and all), Rosalina, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong.  Release date for the whole bunch is November 8th.

Dragonball Xenoverse 2 got some new footage, game play looks way smoother and there are some new mechanics like some sort of quick dash to rapidly approach your opponent as well as being able to punish people who try to stay on the ground to avoid stuff like in the first game.

We also know that new hub world will be larger and allow flight inside it and not suffer from the draw distance/limited players like Toki Toki city. Also release date seems to be fall of this year rather than the predicted 2016 release.

I loved Xenoverse 1 despite the short commings so I'm looking forward to remaking DBZ Blue again : >

This trailer made me happy! 

[Sakura Leic]

God the 3DS version of Dragon Quest 7 looks amazing.

Can't wait to finally play this-hopefully it's a little longer than the other games-but dat art. 

[Mirby]

I'm so excited for Dragon Quest VII 3DS lol. It looks fantastic.

And yeah, Shantae looks great too. Glad I backed it

[Sakura Leic]

I mean it looks like almost everything I love about Dragon Quest 9 but with a huge graphical overhaul since it has the horse power of the 3DS.

Though I hope they made other improvements from the original 7 as well.

[Mirby]

I already know they did. Hell, they shrunk the original introductory segment down from like 90 minutes to like 30, which is nice. And it got rebalanced and stuff too if I'm not mistaken.

[Sakura Leic]

That's good because I heard the pacing of the original......wasn't the best.   Like the problems I have with the second half of Bravely Default kind of problems.

That just looks fun. Also nice to know we'll be getting some movie characters other than Broly, and Future Gohan too huh? Will he have a one-armed version as well?

Oh, and Shantae looks fantastic Like holy cow that's like one of the big Kickstarted games I'm happy to have backed.

Sadly it looks like Future Gohan keeps his arm like in most of the games, that being said he's doing a good Nash impression with his standing pose.

Color Splash is following in Sticker Star's footprints. World map with individual areas, consumable attacks, no partners or leveling up...

However it does seem to improve on several points that Sticker Star fell flat on. Namely, more strategy in battles (you can use your cards plain but they'll be weaker than if you painted them) and resource management (you use paint to mess with the environment and to power up your attacks). You can get Enemy Cards from fallen foes that grant you temporary partners when used in battle (giving a reason to actually FIGHT battles). Also, we saw Morton, marking the first appearance of the Koopalings in the Paper Mario series, and he spoke. Which means we might have an actual vocal Bowser unlike in Sticker Star.

Things do return though, and they do make bosses really easy it seems (a fire extinguisher almost one-shot Morton's fire hammer and reduced him to very low health).

All in all it seems that Paper Mario has been gravitating away from RPGs for some time and is now more of an Adventure game (even Super Paper Mario was more of an adventure game than RPG), which I'm fine with.
