@LinkSword Hacking is part of the reason. The other reason is that ever so often, the X hardcore over on reddit get together and makes an Avatar super team who spend hours doing insane damage on the nemesis.
@BalrogtheMaster That's how this works. Nintendo only sends a DMCA after the project has been finished (most of the time). It's the best compromise they can do as to simply do nothing puts them in a vulnerable legal position.
@Trikeboy Now you're just reaching to try and justify why Edenia (which isn't anywhere in Asia unlike the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu) is now token Asian place.
Again, when did Edenia turn into generic Asian country? Why did Kano get a model based on a real version of him (the movie) but Kitana gets yellow washed?
@Trikeboy Not sure where you're getting that from. Of anything the artwork you posted just proves my point. And that's not counting her comic book incarnation.
Jacqui Briggs was by far the lamest character in MKX. Trying to make her look good against Kotal Kahn (who has amazing pecs) just makes her look worse.
And with that, I no longer care how draconian Nintendo gets with dealing with hackers. They've crossed the line into felony territory (exposing pornographic imagery to minors).
@Nunya The truth of the matter is NONE of them checked the dictionary to see if Skell meant anything. Sure its New York police slang but remember how Nintendo had to change the Inkling's taunt in Mario Kart 8 because it meant something offensive somewhere. Not being from New York doesn't magically make the word Skell not mean Homeless Drug Addict. Not to mention that Mechs technically aren't Exoskeletons (because you ride them they are vehicles) but that's a moot point.
For me personally, the name "Doll" for a robot immediately makes me think about Gundam Wing and the Mobile Dolls which works well given everyone here is a robot. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Mobile_Doll

@LinkSword
That's sad to hear, I bet they were Miiverse connected or something like that. I know the Nemesis still gets slain every so often though.
Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?
Xenoblade on the wii and Xenoblade X on the wii U had achievements....Nobody cared.

If you want to get really nerdy though, they've actually changed her race from the original actress.

Again, when did Edenians become generic asians?

Since when did Edenians become generic asians?

This is cool and all but where are the F'in trophy girls?
Re: WayForward Announces Shantae 5, Arrives On Nintendo Switch Later This Year
Meh, got burned by the last game. If it ain't metroidvania this time around, I'm skipping.

Meh, I'll wait until the do the "remake the first game in the new engine" Galaxy Trail jokes about from time to time.

Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Has Already Outsold Smash 3DS In Japan After Just Five Weeks
@LUIGITORNADO I don't speak for Nintendo fans, I speak for myself. Sony All-star Battle Royale was a big F'in failure, deal with it.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Has Already Outsold Smash 3DS In Japan After Just Five Weeks
And Sony allstar battle royale cried in a corner of obscurity.
Re: The Upcoming Sonic Movie Has Received Its First Poster, And It's Strangely Muscular
They took inspirations from Sonic Dreams Collection.
Re: "Please Understand" Nintendo Is Replacing Its Controversial Creators Program With New Guidelines
They must not have made much money on the old program.
Re: Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3: Scarlet Is Splashing Onto The Switch Early Next Year
Sony's censorship policies and the bad press from DOA6 are showing their effects.

Ya shouldn't have removed that Boob Slider.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2's 1.51 Update Arrives Tomorrow, Adds New Rare Blade And Quests
Correction: The blade quest with Adenine requires having Kos-mos as well.
Better start praying to the Zohar...

The name "Doll" actually has religious significance which was explained in the short story 24 hour happy people. (FYI, X had several supplementary short stories released via the website which localization didn't touch because reasons).

Re: Team That Localised Fire Emblem: Awakening And Echoes Isn't Working On Three Houses
I feel sorry for every Fire Emblem fan but hey Xenoblade 2 came out okay, maybe NoE is handling it.
On that note: Who do I blame for the crap Xenoblade X translation? 8-4 or NoA? Answer: Both. They named the mechs Hobos. Phef.

The amazing Switch sales of course.
Re: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Is Finally Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch just cannot be denied.
Still wondering why Sony was okay with this though.
