Part of the event program at the closing ceremony:

Absolutely awesome that they did this, and the entire video got me very hyped for the 2020 Games. Loved the Pac-Man and Doraemon cameos as well.

It was also so cool that they played the Mario stage clear tune with the fireworks... They only needed a flagpole and giant castle!

"Pentagon security officials are concerned the data obtained playing the game could provide pinpoint accuracy on the locations of rooms and other sensitive facilities where secrets are stored."

So they are hiding Mewtwo in there huh?

Dammit. I knew I should have downloaded this much sooner, but never got the chance. Oh well. Guess I will have to be patient for Sun.

I'm not a hardcore SS fan but this seems decent. The show looks bad but the outfits look nice.

I dont fully understand it but gameplay reminds me of P&D. If the gameplay is good enough and reviews are nice for $8 I could get this... If it's even localized.

My team of three fully evolved Littens:

These are my three sons, Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam

Cool and all, but I can't be excited if these mini consoles don't have cartridge slots.

The only advantage I see is bringing them on trips, then you wouldn't have to pack a bigger console and cartridges.

@ProfessorToad Guess you're right, I did research and Blanche actually is female... I could have sworn that was a guy

PokeBeach says that the addition of new generations was announced too. Serebii doesn't seem to mention this however

@blaisedinsd @J-Manix98 Yeah, Blanche is male so whatever is meant by Instinct being "inherently superior" due to being the only male is wrong.

If anything, by that logic, Candela is inherently superior due to being the only female!

WOO! Candela is awesome! Hot like a Moltres' wings! TEAM VALOR BABY!

@happylittlepigs Thanks dude! Yeah, Walleye is the best of the three. And at least a good thing about Moray being picked is that it's gorgeous at night — I've never seen it on Splatfest before.

@Piersen That's not a bad idea.... If the roaming Pokemon had set paths around the world that could be announced, or places where it was last seen, and people would have to chase them, that would be awesome. Or it could create chaos....

sigh I hoped for Piranha Pit, Mahi Mahi Resort, and Urchin Underpass.

Now when they design a dictionary Pokemon we will have come full circle.

Comfey, Bounsweet, and Mimikyu are all cute and I love them.

I think this sounds incredibly made-up, and some may just be coincidental. I bet a good portion of these are fake or myths.

Dark types do not exist in Gen 1, so that is obviously a fake report. I'd say it damages the credibility of other reports coming from the same source.

But why should I expect anything more than misinformation from Damo?

Looks awesome, and now that we know the other two fighters are coming, I will be looking forward to Scizor even more.

I know it's mobile Pokemon, which is bound to have a strong reaction, but I think I feel their surprise too. So many friends and family of mine, who have never played Pokemon in their life, are enjoying this app. Guess they just didn't calculate the appeal of this app to those outside the Pokemon fan base.

Which was a mistake on their part, so they really should have those servers running like smooth butter if possible.

You had me at banana hammock.

Maybe you can build a good Sonic game!

But he says it himself — he's the Eggman, and if you ask him again he'll tell you the same!

In any case, I like both names but prefer calling him Dr. Eggman. I like the idea that his true name is Ivo Robotnik but Eggman was a nickname that he goes by.

I can't even really decide. I just want Yacht Club to make something unique instead of just using a well-known game as a template. I want to see how they can push Shovel Knight further, not make him like Link or Mario or Samus.

I would really be more interested to see if Yacht Club has something new to offer that isn't Shovel Knight. Much as I like him, I would love to see a new character come from YCG.

Somehow I just knew this would be a Damo article.

Rad looking game and awesome mix of two cool genres... sweet that it is coming to Nintendo consoles but NX will probably be out by the time this releases. Think I would prefer to play a point-and-click on, ya know, a PC anyway.

Well a lot of people here seem disappointed, but I might use this chance to grab Paper Mario, Majora's Mask, and maybe a couple others.

Sounds potentially useful, but also just begging to be yanked.

So is it just me or does this article really not explain very much? Or am I missing something?

I pick fancy parties! But, I won't be able to participate in the Splatfest that weekend.

Lmao, it's so ridiculous but I have to watch it. Hope it's good.

Well nice try for effort to the editor, but linking to a website where the artwork was again uncredited isn't really what I meant.

If you can't find the original artist to credit, then don't use their work, it's simple.

@louisabhairam Can you please credit the original artist of this pic?

Well 30% off could push me to get W101 or DKCTF...

Too bad My Nintendo is kind of a terrible program and I haven't really bothered with it.

Yeah guys it's totally NoA's fault. Atlus has never censored their own products in the West!

"Revelations: Persona was heavily changed when it was localized for a North American release. All characters were renamed and several of them had their appearance altered as well. Nearly all references to Japan or Japanese culture were cut, with the unusual exception being the shoe lockers and Shinto Shrines in the game. Many of the Personas were renamed rather than translated, and the town's name was changed to "Lunarvale". Yen was changed to dollars, and the overall difficulty of the game was reduced by lowering the enemy encounter rates and increasing the experience gained."

I know this was back in 90s, but can you think of a localized-by-Nintendo game that changed almost all references to Japan to be Westernized? And honestly I'm not sure if there is one. Atlus doesn't have a perfect track record so I wouldn't put it past them to be the ones responsible for the changes here. But my point is that these changes are really nothing compared to the way it could be. Think about what's really important to you with this game. Also, they are rumors, so go ahead and decide not to buy the game based on that by the way.

Stop being so self-centered! I can guarantee "Daddy Nintendo" is not trying to protect you or children from seeing a bikini. I bet what they are protecting is their own asses, in case an angry parent wanted to sue them for selling porn to their kids or some kind of exaggeration like that. Or maybe they're trying to protect themselves from those dreaded SJWs that hide under your beds at night! Whatever the case Nintendo still let you play Bayonetta and Senran Kagura, I'm sure there is a reason Atlus felt they needed to make these changes. And I can't believe some of you are going as far as linking Iwata's death to something as trivial as this.

Thomas said a bad word!

@DiscoGentleman keepin it real

@Nico07 What's Luigi?

I've hit about 50 amiibos so far ever since their release... Still not tired of 'em. I even have 5 Marios (Smash Mario, Silver Mario, Classic 8Bit Mario, Dr. Mario, and Green Mario )

I buy them to collect, and their price, in my opinion, is cheap enough that I get a neat statue with some functionality to go with it. I don't understand people complaining about locked DLC. Despite how many I have I've never felt like I "needed" to use any of them to unlock something. They're just a nice bonus to have around for a game like HW or SMM.

Been waiting for them to add something like that temporary marker. Awesome!

GOLD TEAM RULES

I'm not against the idea of Link set in a technologically-advanced Hyrule, but something in particular about this designs doesn't sit well with me.

I think the addition of white and especially orange to Link's outfit is kinda ugly. But otherwise not a terrible design. The Master Sword however is a timeless weapon so I don't see why it would change, but the idea of a futuristic beam-shooting sword could be pretty cool...

Just waiting until he starts a new Kickstarter to fund the rest of the level...

Mega Man is so dead, that even his successor is dead.

He's obviously joking... But man, what a troll.

Weak effort NL, you didn't have me for a second

Nice try but my favorite prank was that Luigi thing from a few years back.

People believed this? In the age of 3D printing?

@R_Champ I get what you're saying, and my intention isn't to glorify just anyone who gives to charity and put down those who don't. All I'm saying is, people can call him lazy, but he tried to put that money to a good cause. Should all charity live streams not get any money just because they sit and play video games?

I'm not saying this guy is the nicest guy ever, or that let's players are all good people. All I'm trying to say is people should stop acting so judgmental towards these people. People should focus more on themselves and what they can do better instead of judging others for doing harmless activities like let's plays.
