There's only one logical explanation: The Story DLC will involve Time Travel! Players will live through the Great Turf Wars, meeting young versions of Captain Cuttlefish and DJ Octavio, both in their prime!
Shadow the Hedgehog for me. I honestly liked it despite its issues. Awesome how each and every single possible route had its own name, and there were hundreds of possible paths Shadow could take. And of course, learning more about Shadow, Gerald and Maria's history was amazing back then.
@PanFriedSoup I see. Well, hopefully you give Super Show and Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 another chance one day. They're good shows. Not great, but good enough.
Sigh. I bought my Callie & Marie from a scalper at over triple the price years ago... but it was worth it, could get pictures with them in 2's Splatocalypse.
That reminds me, I still have to scan my collection of Splatoon amiibos in 3 to get the gear.
Interesting. A good way to for example level up some Pokémon while you explore the area, look for people to trade or battle other Pokémon or trainers. Awesome.

Here's hoping more characters can be challenged, such as new and old shopkeepers, Captain Cuttlefish, the Judds, DJ Octavio, previous Agents, Deep Cut, Squid Sisters and Off The Hook when the latter's DLC is released.
Plus I wonder if there's more stuff they haven't revealed yet. They said they'd share more about Big Run and the Card Game later. Awesome.
Bought it and started it yesterday. Have just made it to Part 3 a while ago. First and foremost it's an interactive Digimon Adventure anime, where you play as the current Goggles Kid in the Adventure sections. The rest of the human and Digimon main cast are obviously based on the classic Adventure 01 characters, though they have their own features so they don't feel like clones.
The story has been good so far, each of the characters has been well developed. Beginning is a little slow/long, though it helps to develop the setting and just how dangerous even Rookie Digimon are. I liked how the kids also wondered if they had traveled through time or if someone had triggered a superweapon when trying to guess what had happened to the school and surrounding areas.
Good so far. It's true that battles are often too easy, though I've just played on Normal, wonder if Hard will make much of a difference. Hopefully later battles will be more challenging. Gameplay mixes aspects from FF Tactics and Fire Emblem, such as backstab and attacks from the sides being more damaging, and some allied units aiding each other.
@Axecon I assume Nintendo won't allow Samus or any of their IPs on Fortnite, since it'd mean she could be playable in other consoles. Nintendo is very protective, almost tribal, regarding their IPs.
@YoshiF2 I see. I missed that part, thanks for clearing it up. However, it still makes no sense, they must have mixed up the numbers or something.
Mario Strikers: Battle League debuted in Japan with 32.173 physical sales, and on its second week sold 13.002, just a drop of around 60%. No serious mathematician could get a 147% drop from that.
@YoshiF2 Uh, where did you get that 147% figure from? It fell around 70% compared to last week when it debuted, that's the usual second week drop for most new games.
Actually, Battle League apparently beat Charged's opening week. They sold a similar amount of physical units from what I've heard... but there were no digital sales back then for Charged. In my case I got the game digital because it's very small, just around 2 GB.
Demon Slayer is one of the most popular IPs of recent times, so it's not unthinkable to assume it stole the spotlight away from BL. Another factor is that Switch Sports debuted recently, it must also have eaten away at BL's sales figures.
Samus teaming up with Delta Squad would be awesome... though it'd be a short game, she'd wreck the Locusts and Lambent quickly. Hopefully she doesn't make Planet Sera explode at the end, though.

Wowsers. About time they remembered this. Hopefully they'll also remember Dead Rising one day.
Re: Splatoon 3 Players Labelled "Cheaters" For Abusing Special Weapons
Hm, what's the point of making things so easy and being overpowered... hope they can fix it quickly. Fortunately I haven't come across it yet.
Re: Poll: The Next Splatoon 3 Splatfest Is Almost Here - Are You Team Gear, Grub, Or Fun?
There is no weapon to surpass Team Gear.
Good luck to all teams, though.

Amazing game, finished the story already. Another great addition to the series' library.
Re: Illumination's Super Mario Movie Reconfirms Release Date, Teaser Coming Next Month
And here we are. Two more weeks before it's here, at freaking last. The wait will be an agony.

@PanFriedSoup What about Captain Lou Albano?

Catch Ya Later!

Re: 'Deep Cut', Splatoon 3's New Musical Hosts, Take Over From Pearl And Marina
Big Man is the one true waifu. Frye and Shiver are great too, though.
Like Frye's belly dancer outfit. Can't wait for the inevitable Shantae crossover fanart.
Re: Oops! Nintendo Almost Leaked The Splatoon 3 Direct A Day Early
Dang. Almost, but Marina managed to stop the leak before it happened. Girl's got them tech skills.
Re: Brace Yourselves, A Pac-Man Live-Action Movie Is Currently In Development
Pikachu, Sonic, Mario and now Pac-Man... oh yeah. The Super Smash Cinematic Universe is coming together.
Re: Sonic 3 Movie Locks In December 2024 Release Date
@Snatcher The Internet has evolved beyond Humanity's control. No one and nothing is safe.
Re: Random: Fan Reimagines Sonic As A 'Shredder's Revenge' Style Beat-Em-Up
This... is a beautiful idea. If SEGA doesn't do it, I hope that talented fan game developers do one day.
Re: Sonic 3 Movie Locks In December 2024 Release Date
@Anti-Matter I strongly recommend you do. It's amazing. Hopefully they haven't spoiled the post-credit scene for you.
Re: Sonic 3 Movie Locks In December 2024 Release Date
Amazing. Here's hoping that some of the female Sonic characters, such as Amy Rose, Rouge, Cream and/or Blaze show up. It's been a brofest until now.
Re: Nintendo Of Europe Announces New Senior Managing Director
Tom Enoki... Tom Nook... Uh oh.
Just kidding. Best of luck, Mr. Enoki.

So far I'd give it a 8/10.
Re: Review: Digimon Survive - This Champion Visual Novel Proves The Wait Has Been Worth It
Sounds good. Tempted to get it, haven't played either a Visual Novel or a Digimon game in a while, although may wait for a discount.
Re: Can You See John Cena In This Official Fortnite Release Trailer?
@Axecon I assume Nintendo won't allow Samus or any of their IPs on Fortnite, since it'd mean she could be playable in other consoles. Nintendo is very protective, almost tribal, regarding their IPs.
Re: Random: This Giant Inteleon Plush Is The Most Threatening Pokémon Merch Ever
The name's Leon. Inteleon.
Re: Bandai Namco Asks Digimon Survive Players To Not Spoil The Story For Others
Eh, don't worry. People will be focused on Xenoblade Chronicles 3, so few will care about Digimon Survive.
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Showcases Its Stardew Valley Inspirations In New Trailer
Watched the trailer. Game looks good.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Version 1.1.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
"Reduced the probability of scoring on a weak shot from far away."
About freaking time! Some online players scoring with a half-@$$ed shot from the middle of the field got boring.
Re: Random: Fan Art Depicts What A Metroid Anime Might Look Like
Hm, here's hoping that with the studio Nintendo bought recently, they finally make among other things something for Metroid.
And yes, that looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Re: Random: Animal Crossing's Isabelle Reminds Us To Keep Hydrated During Heatwave
Thanks, Isabelle. Don't worry, I'm staying hydrated and try to avoid going out during the hottest hours.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Update Adds Daisy, Shy Guy, And More
Awesome how the new stadium is desert based, referencing Daisy's Kingdom, Sarasaland. Nice to have you back, Daisy.
Re: Zynga's New Free-To-Play Star Wars Game Has Been Delayed (Again)
After certain horror launch stories, such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Sonic Origins... yes, better take all the time they need.
Re: Japanese Charts: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Maintains A Comfortable Lead
Glad to see Klonoa sold kind of well for a compilation of remastered classic games. Wahoo!
Re: Review: XEL - Promising Zelda-Style Sci-Fi Adventuring That Falls Short On Switch
Seems the major issues are technical ones. Hopefully after some much needed patches the game will be better received.
Re: Random: Artist Envisions A Luigi's Mansion Game Starring Waluigi
@Fizza LOL Awesome. Good memes nevwr die!
Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Remaster Apparently Lined Up For November, Prime 2 And 3 To Follow
Doubtful. Pokémon IX will release around that time.
Re: Random: Artist Envisions A Luigi's Mansion Game Starring Waluigi
@Fizza Or maybe Waluigi's Shack.
@DiggleDog And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling plumbers and princesses and your mangy Yoshi!
Re: Splatoon 3 Premieres New 'Off The Hook' Track, And It's A Banger
Awesome, so Pearl and Marina are alright. Wonder if they'll appear in the game, though.
Re: Japanese Charts: Demon Slayer Retains Top Spot As Pokémon Re-Enters Top Ten

@YoshiF2 Uh, where did you get that 147% figure from? It fell around 70% compared to last week when it debuted, that's the usual second week drop for most new games.
Actually, Battle League apparently beat Charged's opening week. They sold a similar amount of physical units from what I've heard... but there were no digital sales back then for Charged. In my case I got the game digital because it's very small, just around 2 GB.

Awesome. Here's hoping that for the next movie, some of the female characters also make their debut. It's been a brofest until now.
Re: Feature: 10 Famous Franchises That Would Make Great Warriors Games
Pokemon, Mario and Final Fantasy Warriors have been among my dreams for a while.
Also a Batman Warriors, what the heck.
Re: Random: Character Artist At 'The Initiative' Creates Beautiful Metroid Fan Art
Samus teaming up with Delta Squad would be awesome... though it'd be a short game, she'd wreck the Locusts and Lambent quickly. Hopefully she doesn't make Planet Sera explode at the end, though.
