That forehead tho

Here's more official word from Nintendo regarding the Amiibo shortage:
-
Not hearing anything new. Generic obvious babbling about Nintendo being morons with regard to estimating demand after wave 1.
-
With May 29th approaching, and Dark Pit/Palutena coming out in July…..this will be the Summer of Amiibo Chaos.
-
I don't know if i should buy dr. mario. I'll have check my money. I want duck hunt duo as well but i'm also tempted to get the mario series wario (in his dungaress) whenever we find that out
-
I thought i would get some people talking about tomorrows splatoon direct. Here is a rumour from 4chan that supposedly has leaked the direct content:
http://alwaysnintendo.com/splatoon-direct-contents-leaked-delfino-plaza-stage-and-more/I don't believe it but i do like the idea about the amiibo use to get other nintendo character clothes. And that DLC will take the mario kart route by referencing other nintendo franchises

Part of me is conflicted on other stages, since Splatoon is an original IP and Nintendo really seems to be pushing it like crazy….for some, maybe throwing in other, older series would muddle its hook, its identity?
But on the flip side, a huge part of the customization are the costumes the Inklings were. Like I'd say no to a Mario or Link hat, that'd look pretty sweet.

How can you take 3ds screenshots?
I have the new "new" 3ds but I don't know how to do it. -
Certain games allow you to take screenshots in game and save them to your photo album. Though I don't know if the 3DS took it one step further by letting you do it a any time.
-

I'm still wondering when we'll get US preorders for Wave 5…
I need to get Ganon, Dark Pit, Pale Tuna, and Zero Suit Samus.

I think you just go into miiverse and post an image, which works for most things except smash bros I think?
-
For anyone wanting a Nintendo theme park it looks like Universal will have you covered for now

@Purple:

Which works on the New 3DS. Has that extra memory. ;)
Yet you still can't do screenshots for Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS, which pushed even the regular 3DS less than Smash does….
...anyways, Splatoon direct today! Too bad I'll be in class XD
-

But you can take snapshots in Smash and post them without miiverse as of one of the updates in the past few months, like this snapshot right here

Splatoon demo downloadable later today, but only play tomorrow and Saturday (Seems to be a stress test for the servers more than anything). Also, treehouse members will be playing, their inklings will have labcoats
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Actually, seems like it'll only be playable at very specific times tomorrow and saturday
-
Man, splatoon has so much to offer …
At a later post-release date :ninja:
Also, I loled when they implied I should pre-order at GameStop for exclusive content. Fuck that!
-
My Inkling's soo gonna have blue eyes. Male like me, or should I take the less-traditional route and pick a female one? (wait can you make multiple ones?)
Smash Bros. costumes are a neat bonus (yes I'm a fool, I preordered and paid off at Gamestop before the direct)
@Purple:

Man, must've been dealing with a wonky CPU. :ninja:
-
Am i the only one who feels splatoon is a little underwhelming? It looks really fun and i'm sure it plays well but all the multiplayer stuff seems really limited (at least in vanilla)
-

I don't understand why Nintendo keeps accepting what I can only assume is beer and hookers from GameStop.

Reggie wants to make his own company and he already has the blackjack :P

Well, that would explain why Miyamoto always has that huge grin on his face…...

These two give me the creeps -

Gamestop CEO probably washes Reggie's car or somethin'.

So, thinking about this Nintendo/Universal thing. And knowing that there's more more space to build in Islands of Adventure, one of the logical conclusions we can come to is wholesale re-theming of entire Islands. Marvel is an obvious one (tho it breaks my heart to consider it) as does Toon Lagoon (as kids these days have no idea who any of those characters are). So with that in mind, I've busted out what I believe would be an ideal Nintendo presence at Islands of Adventure:
Hulk Coaster re-themed into Donkey Kong.
Popeye Bilge Rat Barges re-themed into Animal Crossing (Me Ship the Olive into a Pikmin play area?)
Dudley DoRight Ripsaw falls re-themed into Zelda
Spider-man (sniff) re-themed into Mario/Kart(?)
Dr. Doom Fear Fall re-themed into Starfox
Storm Force Acceletron re-themed into Pokemon (replace Storm with Pikachu, DONE)At least one restaurant has to be Kirby themed. It'd be a crime to not have one Pokemon Center store.
Character meet and greets themed around Smash Bros. Samus, Marth, Little Mac, Pit, Peach, Zelda, Link can be face actors (Team Rocket!?), Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Pokemon, Kirby, Fox, DK can be full costumes (Maybe different versions of Samus. Zero suit and armored?)
Between Marvel and Toon they currently have 11 Meet and Greet characters, so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine what I've proposed.
MAKE IT HAPPEN, UNIVERSAL!
-
So long as it's around before I graduate from med school this is great news.
-
My great hype deflator is that 70% will be Mario and the rest will be contested by 20% Zelda and Pikachu (not Pokemon, just Pikachu) and 10% other Pokemon and games.
So there won't be cool things I dream of.
Like a Kid Icarus ride a la Simpsons ride where you follow pit's five minute flight while there's constant palu, Viridi and hades chatter.
Or a New Pork City.
Or a metroid themed laser tag.Or or or, a colisseum themed fire emblem show. Maybe like one of those dinner and show places.
-
Obvious Nintendo theme park attractions
Luigi's Mansion
real life MarioKart
StarFox roller coaster (with real life barrel rolls) -
So, I watched the gamexplain discussion on the whole thing and now I'm super hyped. Goddamn it.
Also when they go "what nintendo character could you see talking to you while going through a ride?"
PIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! PALUTENA!!!!! HADES!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!! T___T
-
I hope they to offer a real-life sized plushie of Viridi.
-

Oh, yeah! Acting out famous scenes from the games (maybe that needs a tad more game popularity, but still)
I would like the gift shop to sell toy Master Swords, Falchions, and Monados. :D
-

It would obviously act out awakening. Possibly of the arena ferox section from that game where chrom and marth fight

More amiibo support for wolly world. Shows the difference between a yarn yoshi amiibo and a regular yoshi amiibo. Also other amiibos will unlock patterns for the yoshi's to wear
-

Well I didn't want to limit the scope, but considering that game currently is the most popular here in North America…..(plus its cutscenes rock)
I demand manakete and taguel plushies.

Who here has been playing Splatoon? I liked it. It takes some getting use to the controls but after that it was fun. The splattershot jr is my jam

Got my two hours in.
The first hour was roller madness. The roller was king. I was using mostly the sniper rifle, but in most matches not on the rig that meant immediately losing to the rollers. Hard to deal with them in such an enclosed space.
The second hour that just finished, Splattershot jr. was my best by far, more than anything because of the item combination with grenades and shield. And I noticed I wasn't the only one as a LOT of people had this combination, a lot more than the roller one like in the first hour.
Personally I gravitated towards it because while I like the charge sniper thing a lot more, it's more for offense than for covering area, and in a lot of these matches a lot of my teammates seemed more concerned with offense than covering area. As a result the splattershot jr. resulted in the most number of wins since I was able to gather absurd amounts of points, usually over 1000, just from covering large expanses of area with ink, and usually by the time I found an enemy I had gathered enough for a shield so I could keep on surviving.The roller in that warehouse is still my number 1 enemy. Particularly since they get the killer wail rather early on.
Btw, is it about time we make a splatoon thread?
-
Maybe it will be worth making a splatoon thread. We can organize matches.
I was in a math where all 8 of us used the roller. It's nutty. That shield with the Splattershot jr though is super useful.
I feel like the warehouse has an issue because you can pretty much spawn kill everyone.
-
My weapon of choice for this demo was the splattershot jr

@Lans:

Too cool of an idea to actually exist.
Instead we'll just get a generic mario rollercoaster.
-
Wouldn't be surprised if it was just super mario land tbh. Although I think it being nintendo land themed would be the coolest
-
I expect all the series mentioned in the press release, so Mario, DK, Zelda, Metroid and Pokémon, to be represented.
-
Well according to the latest Q&A with Iwata, Universal came to Nintendo with everything already planned out. They greatly impressed Nintendo and universal want to start production ASAP.
Iwata also hinted at Nintendo Movies and television series in the Q&A. That Nintendo Cinematic Universe is soon :ninja:
-
Hopefully that Zelda Netflix series is one of them.
While they're at it, get a Star Fox comic or cartoon. That has a lot of potential, I think.
-
A sonic boom styled Starfox cartoon has tons of potential. And by sonic boom style i don't mean redesigns i mean CG rather than 2D animation.
With the way Fire Emblem is going i could see a fire emblem anime happening again, this time based on awakening instead of the original marth chronicles.
-
Thanks for the responses the other day.
Though i wished they didn't resized the images. -
Europe amiibo fans. Act fast

That Nintendo Cinematic Universe is soon :ninja:
