    Kirby Super Star Ultra is pretty good.

    It's good that you enjoyed it.

    As an aside, KSSU also marked the beginnings of this fellow:

    KSSU_Bandana_Waddle_Dee_Portrait_1.png

    Technically he was in the original Super Star as an opponent in Megaton Punch, but Ultra was Bandana Waddle Dee's first "real" appearance as a character. He was an instant hit with me and my friend group, and we were happy when he was included in Return to Dream Land.

    For a second-tier Nintendo franchise, when compared to the others, it's surprisingly a lot.

    It's probably because a) Kirby is HAL Laboratory's flagship franchise and b) HAL has enough resources to actually make spinoffs. IS theoretically could but they're split between FE, Paper Mario, and WarioWare.

    How many games a series gets mostly depends on if it has a dedicated development team. Nintendo EPD has eleven such teams, though we don't know what No. 1 and No. 7 work on. This feels like I'm talking about a mysterious anime evil organization. Donkey Kong in particular doesn't have a dedicated developer, hence why there hasn't been a new game since Tropical Freeze.

    One of these days I oughta play Assault.

    You should but have you finished Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright yet? Maybe I should replay it one of these days... I remember the multiplayer being particularly fun, I mained Falco.

    Thus, I propose we continue Star Fox from the ending of Command, all of them.

    When all hope seems lost during the final battle, the team from Star Fox 2 will show up to save the day. Sabre from Dinosaur Planet can appear as a secret character.

    They put Candace in FEH. Capturable units are now fair game.

    This banner feels oddly inspired by modern FEH standards, they even made Yukimura a 5 star. That said, it's bit sad that having only one alt is considered a win.

    Fellas, there is a d-pad patch of both Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. I've installed these roms on my 3DS so I can play them in native hardware. We are so back.

    The Zelda marathon never ends. Soon, the time of the CD-i games will be upon us.

  3. This is your reminder that Kingdom Hearts IV was announced two years ago. The mobile game that's supposed to lead into IV isn't out yet either.

    -You've trashed literally the only Star Fox game that all the franchise's fans can agree is good.

    Eventually Star Fox fans will admit that Assault is the best game. It's a proper continuation of 64 (gameplay and plotwise) while still doing its own thing. Command is too but it's controversial for different reasons.

    Should I play Ultra or is the original fine?

    Ultra has a sizable amount of new content and the remaining content is mostly the same, other than minor things like having a Fire Emblem reference that the original localization missed. As such, Ultra is preferable unless you're specifically interested in the original SNES experience, or if you want to play both versions to compare them. Ultra is also arguably the start of Kirby's "modern era" which could be another reason to try it.

     

  4. I made an image:

    UPokpC9.png

    A few characters could shuffle around and Ryu could go up a tier, but mostly this reflects my opinions. I didn't want to include third party characters from the same company in the same tier unless I think they could go either way, like Snake/Simon and Cloud/Hero. I also put Dr. Mario and the echoes in their own category; basically I think the echoes will come back if their parent character returns, and Dr. Mario in particular is up to the developers' whims.

  5. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

    the-skar-king-skar-king.gif

    Spoiler

    I was quite impressed by how much screentime Kong and Diddy Kong Suko got without any humans. An issue I had with GvK was that Kong didn't really get any solo wins despite defeating Mechagodzilla, and this movie amends that by having him win several fights without any help.

    Godzilla also got a good showing and Skar King and Shimo were cool (pun unintended) villains, even if Shimo isn't actually evil. If I had a nickel for every movie released this month that had "Empire" in its name and an icy antagonist, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

    Personally feel Xeno could use a story reboot.

    I wouldn't mind if next game was entirely disconnected from the rest (Xenoblade Chronicles X2 aside), especially since basically nothing about XC3's plot aside from Future Redeemed required for it to be a sequel.

    8 hours ago, Armagon said:

    key points from the interview translated for real and not just machine TL.

    Let's hit these plot points in order.

    Spoiler

    The Fog King was apparently just a random Guldo that wandered into Shulk's dimension, which is something I thought was the case ofter XC3 released (prior to that, I assumed it was just a reused asset). In an instance of non-XC3 related information, they also debunked the theory that the Infernal Guldo is Galea.

    Most of this enhances my opinion that the writers didn't think some things through all that much. How does Origin work? I dunno, it just works. Why is Malos in N's sword? I dunno, he just is. (Same for Pyra and Mythra.) Why is Fiora a sword? It's the best way for her to help the world, apparently. There are rumors that you can faintly hear "You can't have a rainbow without Reyn, baby" when you stand next to a shard of Origin metal. Nopon are probably eldritch beings at this point, so them being immortal in Aionois is on track. I respect Takahashi for not bringing up The Picture since half of the poll responses were probably about it.

    Kojima: Is it alright for Noah to throw Fiora into the ocean at the end of the game?

    Takahashi: *goes on a loosely related tangent that basically says "don't worry about it too much"*

    Takahashi said he can't talk about some answers yet, but that probably means that he needs more time to come up with explanations. I'll give credit for Moebius being cartoonishly evil because it's realistic that way, can't argue with that logic.

    They probably respect Godzilla as a character and wanted him to be involved with the ceremony. There's a group shot of all the nominees and Yamazaki is still holding a Godzilla figure in the bottom left corner.

  8. I assumed I had to finish Unicorn Overlord's demo before the time limit ran out or else I would be kicked out, but it lets you finish the battle you're on before doing so. Which is good, because the final battle introduced a new victory condition when I had 39 seconds left...

    Spoiler

    When I saw Galerius's stats and abilities, I didn't think you were actually supposed to beat him. It was obvious in hindsight that you wouldn't defeat him for good so early, but it would be pretty funny if you killed the "main villain" 10% into the game. As for a plot prediction, I'm guessing Valmore found the One Ring an evil version of the Unicorn Ring in the past and got possessed by someone from the Zenoiran empire, hence why he started calling himself Galerius.

    Rather than involving myself in any critical thinking as to who to pair Alain with, I'll just pair him with canon girl Scarlett to establish the theocracy of Cornia. I was pretty surprised when she turned out to be the pontifex's daughter rather than a random priestess, but this is an honorary Fire Emblem game so perhaps I should've expected Scarlett to have an important lineage.

    You can teleport directly into Galerius's throne room, but he's busy elsewhere so Alain and co. have to wait a few days for him to get back.

    I was wondering why it was taking so long to announce a second one. Besides that, The Thousand-Year Door remake and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD have release dates now (May 23 and June 27, respectively).

    Lol...actually that lock-on technology was rather cool, connecting the cartridges together is a very viscerally satisfying thing, and the way Sonic 3 transitions into Sonic and Knuckles as an extended games (allowing you to use Sonic 3's save features for Sonic and Knuckle's campaign) was very cool. Plus being able to play my favorite Sonic game (Sonic 2), as Knuckles is a fun little extra as well.

    You're right, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were intended to be one game Sonic 3 was released early to not miss the McDonald's promotion so it's cool that Sega found a way to connect them as soon as S&K released, rather than needing to wait for a rerelease or something like that.

    What's MechaGodzilla's Lantern Ring?

    I would say it would be a Black Lantern since those represent the absence of life and emotion, but Black Lanterns are undead and Mechagodzilla (technically) isn't. Otherwise, it would probably be another Sinestro Corps member since it's derived from Ghidorah. Skar King can be an Orange Lantern depending on how his character turns out.

    >Half the QRTs actually defending this

    Reminds me that Dragon Quest XI has some optional difficulty settings to make the game harder. "You get a game over if the hero dies" is one of them, others include that you can't shop, you can't wear armor, townspeople sometimes lie to you, characters will occasionally remember something embarrassing and be unable to act in battle, etc.

    I don't even have a problem with the shorter runtime -- assuming the films expect you to have watched the anime before -- but with things like all the time jumps, uneven characterization

    While you're probably right, I still liked the last film as a conclusion to the series regardless. In that regard it was better than Kingdom Hearts III and The Rise of Skywalker, but probably not as good as Cold Steel IV.

    Although I think the odds were stacked that playing blind, you would be very very very very very likely to get stuck with Aerith -or so I heard.

    Aerith starts with the highest points by default and gets priority if there's a tie. Her event might also be the longest I think, and it's the one I got on my playthrough. One detail I like:

    Tifa likes Cloud more if he shows concern for Aerith, but Aerith likes Cloud less if he shows concern for Tifa.

    The A is probably a reference to AZ, but they have certainly been willing to introduce new legendaries to the Legends game, so perhaps we do have a new letter legendary incoming (perhaps one to replace Arceus, the Alpha Pokemon's role...)

    The A in the logo appears to have roots on it, so a Yggdrasil themed Legendary would be interesting. If nothing else, Eternal Flower Floette might be obtainable after twelve years of existing.

    Sorry Lightchao

    While I agree that Rebuild technically isn't as good as the original series--the shorter runtime meant they didn't have as much time to flesh things out--I think it was decent on its own. Rei should've gotten more screentime though.

    "Gojira" and "Godzilla" are more similar that most name changes, but I wouldn't call them the same thing (the latter is occasionally transliterated into Japanese as "Gazzira"). As a fun fact, the original three options for Godzilla's English name were Gojira, Godila, and Gozila.

    I thought Pokemon Legends Celebi to be more likely (Celebi is the time travel pokemon...), but with Kalos's ancient war, I knew it would be ripe for an early Legends entry, and thought it more likely than anything Unova related.

    I like how GF skipped to Kalos because it suggests they wanted to make it because have an interesting idea, rather than just giving it another game out of obligation like what happened with BDSP. I don't know if LZA will have anything to do with the ancient war or not, but I'm interested in seeing if 'A' refers to a new Legendary. *Insert joke about Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed here*

By Z 2-2 the field has disappeared... and viola, everyone is now their post timeskip selves to now continue their plots, while for everyone else it was a much shorter amount of time.

    I'm guessing the original team concepts predated the Speed/Fly/Power system, so Team Chaotix probably stuck around over the other classic teams because they fit it the best. I also like Team Dark and Team Rose as they are in the final version; Omega is a good addition and while Big never actually interacts with Amy in Adventure, I think he fits in well as a big brother figure to her and Cream. I value Chaos's rare appearances but I admit that he wouldn't really fit into Heroes.

  21. I don't want the next game to just be "Ultimate with more characters"; since everything will be rebuild from the ground up either way, the developers should take the opportunity to go in a new direction without reinventing the wheel. Heck, call it Super Smash Bros. Evolution or something. I would enjoy more new stages since Ultimate only had four in the base game, a Metroid Dread stage where you get chased by an E.M.M.I. would be fun.

    I don't feel too strongly about new characters at this point but here's a newcomer list I spat out:

    Spoiler
    1. Waluigi
    2. Dixie Kong
    3. New Pokémon
    4. Magolor (Or Bandana Waddle Dee, I'm not picky)
    5. Octoling
    6. Alear
    7. Tibby (from Rhythm Heaven)
    8. Officer Howard
    9. Ring Fit Trainee
    10. Takamaru
    11. A new Sonic character; I would be happy with any of Tails/Knuckles/Eggman/Shadow
    12. Some other third party character that I can't decide on right now

    And a new Zelda character (not that I could decide on who), as an "early adopter bonus" DLC like Piranha Plant. Though now that I think about it, any early adopter bonus would probably be a veteran who couldn't be finished in time.

    Since Splatoon and ARMS were the only new Nintendo series to get characters in Ultimate, I wanted a balance between adding to existing series and including new series. Ten or so new characters with a total roster around 60ish characters seems realistic. Using Ultimate as a precedent, the base game will probably have one to three third party characters, with DLC adding more along with cut veterans and Nintendo characters who were too late for the base game. In particular, the lack of a Koei Tecmo character is still rather odd and Adol Christin seems like the kind of character Sakurai would enjoy including (he was the eighth person to finish Xanadu, after all).

    And honestly I'm fine with keeping Ganondorf mostly as he is, but he should get his own victory theme.

  22. I finished Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the first time. The lategame was harder than I was expecting, but it was a fun time.

    (Should I use a spoiler tag for the ending of a 23 year old game? Sonic 3 will probably be inspired by it, so...)

    Spoiler

    I've known for a while now that Shadow was originally planned to be a one-shot character, but it never really sank in that he was supposed to die permanently until now. Even the original plan for Sonic Heroes didn't include him, and that had basically every character introduced up to that point. But of course Sonic Heroes did bring him back, and Shadow's place in the franchise has been well established since then.

    Now I just have to complete all the Chao races. But since most of my Chao are older than some users of this forum at this point, none of them evolved the way I wanted them to...

    Granted, he is playing with fire there. Arzette's Smart Sword does not hurt anyone friendly. And pulling a knife on someone is not very friendly.

    "My sword won't hurt anyone friendly. Luckily, this isn't my sword."

  23. "This is a death sentence for every human being on Earth" is a pretty hardcore sentence, nevermind that it's from a game about a talking blue hedgehog.

    Especially during Lent, because for some reason capybaras have been declared fish.

    I think that back in ye olden days, "fish" referred to any water-dwelling animal and not just aquatic vertebrates with gills. But capybaras did evolve from fish, as did all mammals, so make of that what you will.

    Aw, Kevin left already?

    His availability is pretty irregular, but you'll get to use him more later on. You will learn to value Grail Sphere in particular.

    But you actually enjoyed fishing with Big (or is it just for nostalgia or something)?

    It was a while ago, I don't remember my opinion on Big's gameplay. I planned on replaying Sonic Adventure DX to find out, but I as I said before, my disc no longer works. I could get it on Steam eventually, though for now I got The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog instead. At least Big got a good showing in Sonic Heroes (my copy of that doesn't work either).

    A cake they asked me about and I picked out, but it was for a 52 year old aunt one of them had that was turning 53.

    Happy belated birthday, I hope your 53rd birthday was a pleasant one.

  24. It's funny that Mario got arrested after being mistaken for a criminal doppelganger with "Shadow" in his name a year after the same thing happened to Sonic.

    Imagine going backwards.

    Apparently it's because they were imitating Prussia. They would probably change the inheritance laws in the event that there are no potential male heirs, which almost happened before 2006.

    Hey, if it doesn't involve timing or mashing the button, it's good in my book.

    So if fishing peaked in FC and it's all downhill from there... well, so be it.

    Just wait until you get to Estelle's Big Fishing Adventure 3 in the next game, haha...

    Neither with me. I guess that being forced to fish with Big in Sonic Adventure to be able to finish the game, specially after...

    (Spoiler for Big's final stage in Sonic adventure)

      Reveal hidden contents

    You're forced to fish for the fucking frog inside CHAOS 6!

     absolutely killed every inch of interest I could possibly have in fishing in a videogame (which I'm sure would be very little anyway), ever, for the rest of my life.

    My copy of Sonic Adventure DX no longer works, so sadly I cannot experience the wonders of Big (unless I get it on Steam). At least I still have Big's fishing minigame in Frontiers, and my copy of SA2B fortunately still works.

    If people predict a new console every year, they'll be right eventually. Personally, I predict that there will be a new Nintendo console by 2064.
