I swear I'm getting a Nausicaa vibe off of charjabug. With Zygarde, liking the artwork, and five cores eh? I know there's a voltron reference there somewhere.

@SpykeKat Ditto in my case of Twilight Princess, well...if I was tempted to get the wii u version.

Aside from frame rate troubles, I see no reason from not buying this. I've always been a fan of dark, that's what drew me to play Twilight Princess.

Digging Tapu Koko, electric/fairy huh? sure it would be a stalemate vs Zygarde, whom I hope gets some plot relevance.

Got it, and the gracidea for the sky forme

@fanguy Amen brother, well there's that, and my case of fear of people of mascot costumes, cosplayers I'm fine with, it's just the mascots with their dead eyes and fixed expressions and the unknown intent of what they have planned and... (trembling beneath desk). Plus, I'd have no idea what character to go as

@SpykeKat If so then I'm hoping Tapu Koko, mostly cause that's the one out of the seven revealed that I like the look of. On first glance I could imagine them being a counter based fighter, that or just having that weird chicken mask and pecking the other fighter Cuckoo style (they don't mess around)

@MadAdam81 If so then expect hilarity to ensue as the ultimate lifeform that is Mewtwo... is defeated by a butterfly, or whatever cutiefly's supposed to be.

@SpykeKat Good to know

@SpykeKat Phew, thank goodness, I'm always worrying I might step on some e-toes accidentally.

@SpykeKat Oh, sorry if I was sounding a bit...uppity. But yeah, I mean this shift from 2 to 2.5 is spectacular, who knows, they may work it into gameplay akin to Super Paper Mario

@SpykeKat It's kind of like remakes of old video games; i.e. FF7, sure it's got a sexy new HD look, but how does it innovate or add to the industry, it's all for intertextuality.

@hieveryone Indeed, if memory serves me right there's a knock-off of Overwatch.

@SpykeKat Yeah, so I'm hoping two things
1. They make the splatoon game
2. I win the competition for a free New 3DS

@SpykeKat Ditto on that, though I'd guess they'd put it on the new 3ds (they really need to work on their names). I mean the wii u is essentially a big DS when you think about it, so two analog sticks would be needed to aim. Then again there is the gyro mechanism.

@Trinexx Nice portmanteau there, mind if I use it.

I'll admit I've always had a fascination for the game, I just never had the chance to give it a try. The plot was a welcome change or pace and the designs weres simple yet memorable, so who knows, maybe I'll give it a try.

When I first saw the images, I was underwhelmed. After watching the trailer I can say that they are...alright. I can agree their designs aren't everyone's cup of tea. On the plus side, we didn't see an "animated inanimate object pokemon". We can also take solace in the fact that the previous reveals were pretty good, so we can say this generation will be a mixed bag of good and bad designs.

@Konnordano1615 Fair enough, that's how I originally did it. I mean, what kind of character in a medieval-esque setting be named Matthew9434

@SpykeKat Who doesn't? well maybe people who have well-justified reasons, but yeah! If you look at one of my earlier comments there's a link to a clip of Papyrus' date, voiced by Timber Puppers, who in my opinion is quite talented. My only reaction was, dammit...
I've fallen in (platonically) love with the personality of another video game character, although that might have the voice.

@SpykeKat Good to know. Whoof, I've spent the last half-hour replying to a couple of other people, I feel like Papyrus from undertale, let's just hope my brother doesn't hack my account. Though to be fair he's in Scotland, so I doubt he knows about it.

@SpykeKat I appreciate your concern (blubs indignantly). But I like told myself when I found out about the darkside of fandoms (the freaks) and worried I'd become that, I'd just say "it ain't gonna happen", besides, this is Inafune, not Sega, it's not charts, it's about trying to appease the fans.

@SpykeKat Just wait, I'm guessing it would be similar to sonic's degradation; first a game where they inject "humour" (shudder), then they'll try to apply deep plots that soon become convoluted (uncontrollable trembling) they'll go for the darker-edgier ensemble with the black coloured OC (clutch stomach), until finally it reaches... the dark side of fan art, you know the ones I mean (hugging bucket and praying for the end).

@SpykeKat It sounds similar to the same problems/first signs of trouble Sonic suffered. Same with the acting, then again, it was 4kids originally.

Well, in the efforts to keep spirits up in the comment section; what are you going to call your avatar, and what would they look like, if you look you'll find a link to a kamui customizer. For me, I'd name mine Kannon (partly for the similarity to Kana, and that's the bodhisattva of mercy, which connects well with the buddhist origins of the Yato)

@retro_player_22 So this is basically the opposite of undertale; both using the good will of donations, only one satisfies the masses. One has generic acting, the other text based, although the fandubbing is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RU2nfOhaY

@SpykeKat I just saw gamexplain's video on mn9's credits, 4 hours, wow.
On the topic of Inafune, I'm sure he'll be able to bounce back up and take criticism to note when next developing. The main problem that deterred me from the game was the voice acting, ouch... and with such good talents as well, then again, all actors are allowed at least one bad role.

I'm certainly hoping they mix things up with the plot. I mean, ZYGARDE'S FORMES are included, and if you look carefully at it's chest mouth, there's four cores matching x, y, sun and moon's colours, that has to mean something

@Pandaman Could you give us a hint on what happens

Climb the tallest mountain; shield-surf down, ride over an edge and glide down to safety. That or experiment in using the environment during combatl

I believe there's a term for moments like this, narm charm. On a minor note, was I the only who wished they actually had made the robobot prop

@Warruz Plus I've always felt that the dubbing for the game has been pretty solid, supported by the anime where Bosch is basically talking to himself when it was Narukami and Adachi

Perhaps it could be the new villain team, but if it were starter evos; we can only hope it is not the dreaded fire/fighting combo again.

@yopparai Just found it, and cheers my friend

@abe_hikura If you find a link to this, please, PLEASE, PUT IT ON THIS COMMENT BOARD.

@DizziParadise Si, Just today he went back on his word of giving the money we got from leaving to the nhs.

@nessisonett Sinking? Burning more like, and while the idiots are dancing away, most decent human beings will be jumping off to the well managed Scotland, or anywhere with human decency.

@Moshugan That's the scope of how much the political stuff has hit the fan

@Marshi Kind of, the problem he's referring too was the fact most anime is being run by the asylum (in this respect otakus).
Here's a link that might better explain

@Warruz You sir have good taste, I for one enjoy the distinct sound each installment of the persona series has, especially the upcoming persona 5

@Ralizah Fair enough

@Ralizah I don't know, while it has been a base breaker for some time, Pokemon Black and White definitely pushed the boundaries of nintendo's normally formulaic storytelling.

@ThanosReXXX Ditto on that, This morning I found someone had written "Farage's a c#$%, signed by human decency", I'm glad humour has yet to die in this meaningless referen-dumb.

Sugoi! Oh sorry there, inner otaku just came out for a second, I've been having a serious jonesing for trying out more anime, any recommendations (aside from the usual; naruto, pokemon, sailor moon and etc). I've heard good stuff about Samurai Champloo.

@MJInnocent The main problem I think was this key fact: Mario's timeless in pop culture, sonic was simply an `80s "totally radical" version of him, and Sega's been trying to keep that temporal bubble for as long as possible.

After several years of terrible games, Sega's now just realizing that people won't just buy something because it has Sonic's face.

I'll admit the visuals are good, but I that the game could have gone down a similar route with Persona 4 dancing all night, in that it could've delved deeper into the stress and adversity faced by young adults.

@Kirk Amen, though kind of a pyrrhic victory. While I side with neither side, I found some words written in the sand "Farage a $%@#!, signed human decency" to be somewhat comical.
Also concerning Shovel Knight, so long as it's fun as the original and more, I'm good.

Please can we not make mention the results of the referendum, the time before was bad enough, I don't want to here politics here.

I'm certain they'll announce, eventually, by the time we've all forgotten, so whoever receives the email can go, "oooooooooh, I forgot I entered, how about that"
