@JarJarBlacks Now that you mentioned in-game abilities, what I think would most likely happen is one team having some variant of super-jump, versus another with ninja squid.
Anyhoo, I'll probably pick flight, cause I like blue.
While Shinobi Refle looks like a decent game for 1000 yen (~10USD), what made me disappointed was the announcement for the new pinball game and not the hack-n-slash series coming to the Switch. Oh well, here's hoping one would come, sooner or later.
I'll miss the 'Stay Fresh' part that Callie and Marie used to do at the end of the news segment. The new one is a tad bit long (something about cooked and off the hook?), but I'd probably get used to it.
Looks clean, too clean I would say. I hope you could edit your own preferences at the main page for even easier access, but I'd doubt that. Still, liking that modern, slick look, Nintendo. Keep it up
Wasn't the first test fire like in a month before the eventual release of the first Splatoon? Feels a bit too early, but what do I know? I guess they really need to prep their servers for the oncoming Splatoon hype train.
I personally think that it's at the end of all the timelines, converged into a single, new one. Just so they don't have to bother with the timeline nonsense anymore.
Hmm, it's a bit interesting to note that the player names on that stage map are all Japanese names, but in Romaji instead of Hira/Katakana. Hoping it is, so that if you could voice chat with Japanese players, you'll at least be able to call them out instead of not being able to read their names. It's a start, I guess.
@Captain_Gonru Maybe the app could connect with the Switch locally, possibly through Bluetooth? Just baseless speculation.
I could see this app being online-only, since it could block any online communication, like voice chat and stuff. That, and also Bowser could essentially trigger sleep mode without being near the Switch, at least judging from the video.
Ah, yes. The Koopa King, model parent in all of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Well, at least in terms of gaming with Bowser Jr.
Side note here, I like how Bowser could use his tiny smartphone with his claws, the touchscreen over there must be more advanced than the ones we have.
The english titles for BoxBoy seem to be following a pattern (maybe).First was BOXBOY, second was BOXBOXBOY, what would the third one be? BOXBOXBOYBYE? BYEBOXBOXBOY? BOXBOXBOYBYEBYE? The possibilities are endless
@Jamotello Just imagine, the possibility of having both the mainline and spinoff games of SK, available on the Switch. The prospect is quite titillating.
If all goes well, there might be a chance for this game to come to the West. It fills me with hope since those control instructions were in English at the Tokyo Game Show, plus the fact that the characters speak gibberish (albeit more exaggerated than in a normal MonHun game) so that localising it would take less time compared to doing those voice-overs in other languages.
I'm just hoping this wouldn't turn out like Federation Force, in a sense that the hardcore fans won't touch this game since it's not the MonHun they know.
It was at this moment, the 3DS is now known as the 3rd Dimension Stabiliser. Without it, the entire dimension would lose its stability and collapse within itself.
Wait a minute, did Sina and Dexio (aka the ones that give you the Zygarde Cube) get hit by the puberty train since we last saw them in XY, or were they always like that?
I feel like Type:Null is a man-made chimera, named by someone with bad naming sense (like the ghosts in LM:DM). Maybe it gets a special item that turns it into an actual Null/??? type, would be pretty cool.
I have this gut feeling that the suspicious Team Aether has something to do with the Ultra Beasts , maybe a failed experiment combining humans with Pokemon. But hey, it's just a crazy theory...
Whether these are real or not, I feel like their designs seem pretty neat. They sort of look like the Adventurer, Berserker and Songstress from FE:Fates, but maybe that's just me... Litten's final form kinda reminds me of Armour King from Tekken, which is pretty cool I guess. Hoping it's Fire/Dark with how it uses dirty moves in its illustrations (slamming that table at Pikachu, wow)
@ShadJV I doubt that Game Freak would just scrap 40+ Megas like that, which begs the question. If Megas are returning, could they use Z-moves (Mega Mewtwo + Z-moves)? That would be too overkill... @the101 Yeah, I do know about Mega Audino and Diancie, but they were introduced in ORAS, a year after XY. I too wish that the 'newer' gen would get some lovin'...
All these reveals just makes me wish Ukelele Pichu is a thing in the main games...
Anyway, I hope these Alola forms aren't limited to just the first 4 gens, like how Mega's were in XY. There's plenty of Pokemon from Unova to choose as well, like a hot fudge sundae Vanilluxe.
Wait, does this mean I can have Dunsparce use its Z-move and eliminate ALL WHO STANDS IN ITS WAY!? Even if Z-moves can only be used once in a battle feels kinda cheap, honestly...
@hoshiZora Actually, according to the katakana text, her name should be Catriel? Layton. Still though, with the prof having a son and now a daughter, I wonder whom he hooked up with?
I'm starting to doubt that you guys would ever mention the NA Senran Kagura sale right now, but I'd understand why it wouldn't come up here (nudge nudge wink wink)

Re: Random: See Pikachu Run, Show Impeccable Balance and Skip Rope
First glance at the title, I thought it was a new mobile game "Pikachu Run" or something. Hopefully they are paid well for their effort here.

Re: 'Twilight Zone' Stage to Give Splatoon 2 a New Twist During Upcoming Splatfest
I like how the "Mystery Zone" seems to be a stage in Octo Valley. I guess it's a step closer towards playable Octolings, probably.
Re: Splatoon 2's First Splatfest To Take Place Before The Game Launches
I'll miss the 'Stay Fresh' part that Callie and Marie used to do at the end of the news segment. The new one is a tad bit long (something about cooked and off the hook?), but I'd probably get used to it.
PS, Team Ice Cream 4 Lyfe!!!!
Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July
It looks pretty nice, but that's about it. Hopefully, this is the last iteration of the 3ds, period.
Re: Gallery: Behold This Amazing Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Cosplay
Not sure how, but I now wish for a Sheikah Slate skin for the Switch. It would double as a cosplay prop and well, a skin.
PS: If it does exist, let me know. I'd actually consider buying it.

Re: Pokkén Tournament Falls Short in the EVO 2017 Player's Choice Vote
I'm surprised ARMS came in 5th. Quite amusing, to say the least.

Re: Get Loved Up With The Pokémon GO Valentine's Event
Wow, 6 hours of Lure Module madness is overkill. I might actually pick it up again this weekend

Still waiting for that Detective Pikachu game...
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Talks About a Potential 3DS Successor
I just hope it doesn't come to that, but we'll see later this year.
Re: New Fire Emblem Heroes Missions Have Appeared on My Nintendo
I'd download it, if it actually comes here...

Re: The Third Pokèmon Sun and Moon Global Mission is Now Live
GTS, eh? It would've been even easier if were Wonder Trades, but we'll see.
Re: NieR: Automata Designer is Open to the Idea of a Switch Port
If it does come out for the Switch, hoo boy
Re: Gorgeous Nintendo Switch Game Boxes Get Shown Off in Japanese Stores
It's a neat feature, I guess. Hopefully they are like that for the western releases. If not, oh well.
Re: Nintendo Switch Parental Controls to Utilise Smartphone App, Shown Off With Awesome Bowser Advert
@rjejr According to Nintendo's official website, the app will be free to use, even for the non-subscribers after the trial period, so there's that.

So this is when those event Pikachu with hats are probably gonna get distributed, huh?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Will Rely on Switch Word of Mouth Due to Strange Presentation Timing
@Anti-Matter Most likely, it'll be 12 in the afternoon in Malaysia

Re: Video: Take a Look at The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's New Trailer
I think the first female character was female Link, the second one Zelda. First one was wearing gloves, the second, hand stockings (?)
We need MOAR

Sweet, now that they have made Cynthia's in-game model, a DP remake might be imminent. Or not. Who knows...

Re: Video: New Pokémon and Team Skull Showcased in Fresh Pokémon Sun and Moon Trailer
I really like how the Alolan Raichu has blue eyes, just like the surfing Pikachu from the first season of the anime.

@IceClimbers Oh, I didn't realise you needed a hold item to use those Z-moves. Thanks for clearing it up.

Sorry to say, but Gotta Protectors got postponed to the 28th. It was due to a doc problem, and they apologised on their twitter page. Here's the link to the tweet:
