Smash will always be better on the couch but my sister and I will both have this one so probably (hopefully) we'll at least play against each other somewhat regularly

i'm hoping character unlocking is quick enough that i can have them all ready to go before the holidays when my old high school smash buds are in town

was also tempted by the new mario party for the same reason but i think mario party 2 was really just lightning in a bottle none of the other old ones ever got played much
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 October 2018 23:41 (five years ago) link
The new one is bad tbqph

really? the reviews were pretty solid
― Nhex, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 06:32 (five years ago) link
i liked it, but it's a bit short as it's 20 turns max
super stoked for smash bros
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 08:22 (five years ago) link
its shortish due to the turn limit, but turns out thats exactly right for groups of usually non game players. we had a great time with it particular the hilarious rhythm game concert spin off bit.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 08:47 (five years ago) link
playing mario party, cpt toad & inside atm, the plan is smash bros for all of december then hopefully untitled goose game early 2019 :)
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 09:15 (five years ago) link
wrt Super Mario Party, there are very few play boards and the dice rolling mechanism is slowed down enough to make turns feel like they're lasting twice as long as previous Mario Partys I've played (all N64, never played any since). The concert game is amazing though

Inside is on sale, and VERY GOOD, as mentioned above

Yoku’s Island Express is on sale rn and it is extremely fun

Tune in 11/1 for roughly 40 minutes of new information in the final Super #SmashBrosUltimate #NintendoDirect before the game’s release, hosted by Director Masahiro Sakurai! The Direct will be followed by a post-show Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation. https://t.co/Y00RdNrBth pic.twitter.com/JSuSUtGk6e— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) October 30, 2018

presumably revealing the rest of the roster + the story mode or whatever
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 14:05 (five years ago) link
Yeah and online modes. Stoked for the madness.

also the treehouse presentation afterwards will be showing other games incl. Yoshi

Is this going to be another 20 minutes just listing Smash characters?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 15:11 (five years ago) link
No it’s going to be another 40 minutes listing Smash characters

Box Theory vs Grinch Theory, it all ends here

I’m so incredibly cursed by my desire for this game
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 17:20 (five years ago) link
it's going to take like a month just to audition every character to figure out who's in my crew this time, the roster is approaching dota/LoL size
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:18 (five years ago) link
if you play the squad strike mode you can have a team of all fire emblems

it's most just the boring sword dudes though

splatoon is so simple but also frustrating.

after 2 weeks splatoon has taken over my life and is fantastic
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
it's so good, i burned out for a while but would like to revisit at some point and actually try the 1p campaign and dlc campaign
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:35 (five years ago) link
it took like 20 hours of play before the gyro controls & squid movement really clicked for me but after that i felt like a god
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:37 (five years ago) link
there's also like...10 new maps and 20 new weapon sets since i last played, yikes
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
need to poll primary/secondary/special sets
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link
it's crazy how just flipping one of these can end a hot streak and make you shit all over again
regular blaster 4 life imo
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:49 (five years ago) link
luna blaster is fun too but it sucks ass if your team isn't controlling the map
I am extremely terrible with the blaster. I am mostly an N-ZAP fan.
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:57 (five years ago) link
im good with the nzap and splattershot too but they're not as exciting as popping people
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 19:14 (five years ago) link
ok I've set my alarm to get up for the smash direct, I've been training my whole life for this (to wake up slightly early to watch a marketing video)
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Wednesday, 31 October 2018 16:48 (five years ago) link
Nintendo directs have to be one of the most ingenious marketing plans ever devised
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 16:57 (five years ago) link
surprised people aren't already sick of them tbh. it definitely doesn't work as well for Microsoft and Sony
― Nhex, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 17:55 (five years ago) link
microsoft and sony haven't really tried it, the key is to have them spaced regularly year round rather than just unloading everything at E3
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link
also not telling people when they are until the day before is an important ingredient even though (because?) it causes people to go completely insane
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 18:10 (five years ago) link
yeah the frothing madness that sets in among enthusiasts waiting for Directs is pretty key to the experience and probably helps with getting attention on them from the people not waiting as closely. The spacing means that a lot of the Nintendo Directs are the first announcement for one or more first-party games that are plausibly coming out within months or a year. Like, Nintendo could've said "there's going to be a Luigi's Mansion 3" 18+ months ago when it presumably went into production and then said nothing, but instead the first look at the game in the Nintendo Direct was unanticipated, had gameplay in it, and had a plausible release window. (Well, year.) And they generate tons of coverage even without flying the games press to some hotel to play the games because they're dense with trailers and details and things to goof about.

all will be revealed

post direct demo would be good

there's a post direct Treehouse Live which will be demoing smash, pokemon, yoshi, and diablo
― ciderpress, Thursday, 1 November 2018 13:54 (five years ago) link
I assume Smash will forgo the demo weekend slash network test, to keep the hype frothy, but we’ll see

Ken and Incineroar worst kept secret

I meant post direct demo on the store
― ||||||||, Thursday, 1 November 2018 14:10 (five years ago) link
oh i doubt they'll do that they usually do one demo weekend a couple weeks before release if anything
― ciderpress, Thursday, 1 November 2018 14:14 (five years ago) link
the spirits stuff basically an entire mobile gacha rpg system embedded in the game

piranha plant as free dlc

Piranha Plant is an A+ wtf Sakurai choice. Sad that Arms and XC2 characters are seemingly deconfirmed for DLC
