  1. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    I'm only having a laugh myself.
  2. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    I feel like it's being insinuated that I'm boring.
  3. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    @RedShell, there's a spot open now.
  4. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    In a rare case, I actually am from 8-ish.
  5. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    I'm just gonna chime in and say that Pokémon always has little presence in E3. It's normally shown in the Treehouse section. This Direct changes very little.
  6. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    Yeah, trust me, that's low on the priority list for the fanbase.
  7. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    New Directs tend to get new threads here. Otherwise, only people who check the above mentioned thread would actually know about this Direct.
  8. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    Seems like we're getting an update soon that will mean replays will no longer work. And Greninja will probably get nerfed. Don't get too excited, the numbering suggests that it's a balance patch and not much else. Convert any replays to videos if you want to keep them.
  9. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    Well, OK. It's more "My Dreams", but you get the point. I refuse to get my hopes up too much though, it could very well be a whole bunch of mobile games. I'm being honest in saying that I'm more intrigued about the press conference than the Sword/Shield Direct. Still watching both.
  10. Pokémon Direct - June 5th: 2pm

    This is also worth noting... That's 2am on Wednesday (BST). That Press Conference will, and I quote, "cover multiple topics of interest to Pokémon fans" This will probably be where any possible spin-offs are talked about.
  11. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    I'm kinda worried that I have the same problem with Adept style. I'm so conditioned to dodging roars and using them as opportunities to get some counter jump attacks in, that if a theoretical MH5 were to be released that dropped hunter styles for some reason (That'd be a real shame), I don't know what I would do...
  12. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    I might have to ask you to send a prowler with that skill my way. I'm sure it'll be useful on some of my Felynes.
  13. Super Mario Maker 2 -- June 2019

    So, you know how there's all sorts of new features in Mario Maker 2? Stuff that wasn't in the original? Exciting, right?
  14. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    Lucky git! You're basically halfway to maxing it out.
  15. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    I dunno, @Kaepora_Gaebora might be a bit miffed.
  16. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    So recently, Sakurai released a book over in Japan. In it, he discusses some things about Smash development. I'll put it in spoilers because it's a bit lengthy. I'm with him on how he would like to see the non-competitive side of Smash get more tournaments and such. Don't get me wrong. That kind of competitive match has some truly impressive players, but I'll always prefer watching matches where items are on and all the stages get used, even if people are more my skill level. Real men use items after all. I also agree with his concern of "Real Beginners don't speak up" There's a real risk of having more serious players dictate how Smash mechanics work and it can be a detriment to people trying to play for the first time. I think that kind of happened in Ultimate with the air dodge. Whenever I introduced a kid who's new to Smash, I try and explain some basic techniques to ease them in. Back in Smash WiiU, the air dodge was quite lenient with the ending lag, so you weren't punished too harshly for mistiming it. In Ultimate, I've had to stop introducing the air dodge to newcomers, because you're punished incredibly harshly for using it at the wrong time. It works more like Melee's air dodge, which I've always disliked. It's very easy to accidently kill yourself because you pressed R in the air and have so much downtime afterwards, that you can never get back on to the stage. Hell, I recall one recent match between me and @Ike on Final Destination where he was Dark Samus and I was Ryu, and it was really tense and exciting, but he lost his last life at the end not because I outplayed him, but because he mistakingly used an air dodge and had no hope of getting back from an easy recovery. I like winning matches, but not like that... It felt like @Ike got robbed... EDIT: It's actually in one of my highlight videos. Skip to 3:01 to see what I mean. That match was awesome and it's such a shame it ended like that.
  17. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online Thread

    "Tomorrow's Passion" from Captain Rainbow. Which I assume is why Birdo looks a bit off in that stage compared to the Mario version of her.
  18. I played through the DS version of V for the first time a few months ago. It doesn't quite hold up to VI, but it has some neat ideas. Lizzie in that game is waaaayyyy overpowered and I'm fine with that. Plus, it's kind of amusing using party chat with her and seeing her very simplistic view on humans. XI will probably be next once I get it on Switch. Then IV seems the most logical step after that.
  19. I was this close to choosing WarioWare Twisted. But it was either that or Mother 3, and Mother 3 is too special for me to ignore.
  20. I'll get the ball rolling with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team Pokémon Emerald Golden Sun: The Lost Age Metroid Zero Mission Mother 3
  21. Righto. Nominations are closed. Game Boy Advance Releasing in 2001, the successor to the Game Boy/Game Boy Color was a lot more horizontal than what those consoles were, but with more horizontality came more power. Sporting graphical capabilities comparable to the SNES and a wider screen, the GBA brought handheld gaming to a new height, but what games were the must-haves of any collection? Let's find out! As usual, restrictions are in place. The Pokemon Clause applies to this console, games that have multiple similar versions will be counted as one title (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, etc.) Remakes/ports are ineligible for nominations (Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, All 4 Mario Advance games, etc.) Metroid Zero Mission and Sword of Mana are exempt from the above rule, due to radical differences from the original games. Retro Compilations (Games consisting of multiple games from older titles) are ineligible for nominations (Mario Advance series, etc.) In a weird example, you're eligible to nominate The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, but you must discount the remake of Link to the Past if you choose it. These kind of bundles where one new game can stand on its own will be referred to as the Four Swords Clause In a similar way, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Metroid Zero: Mission fall under the Four Swords Clause, because despite having ports of other games included in the game, the new game can stand on its own merits. Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age count as two separate games. They can be completed without the use of the other game and must be bought separately. The Tony Hawks Pro Skater games on the GBA console are eligible for nomination despite these entries appearing on the N64 and the Gamecube due to the totally radical gameplay differences. Dude. Future Console Warning When we come to the Nintendo DS, be warned that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team will not be eligible for nomination. This is because it's a port of a GBA title that came out at the same time. If you were considering nominating that game, I suggest that you consider Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team for this console instead. The majority of the two games are the same, so playing Blue Rescue Team will give you a clear view on how the GBA version plays. Remember that there's no need to order your choices yet, just post 5 games. Nominations close on the 1st of June
  22. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    Sure, I'm free today. What time are you thinking?
  23. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    OK, this needs to be said, you have a real skill for drawing stuff in Stage Builder. I'm always impressed whenever I hop online and you surprise me with what you've cooked up. That surprise normally changes to laughter though, because custom stages normally cause that.
  24. Nintendo Switch Online: NES

    The Japanese boxes (And The Lost Levels from Mario All-Stars) are square because that's how they are for the Famicom. For what it's worth, I did the same thing as you, even if it means all the Mario games aren't together.
  25. Brexit - UK negotiates a deal

    And naturally, all the Tories who made this happen are now tweeting nice compliments about her. Disgusting hypocrisy there.
