comment:
Can someone please explain to me what the appeal for Sonic is. 

I'm not even trolling, i just don't understand the cult of personality surrounding this character. The first games are actually good i agree but there has not been an outstanding game for quite some time. Every other franchise would be dead by now.

Niche question time guys,
Were Sega 16 bit systems cross territory compatible? I remember having a Megadrive II (UK/Europe) system and a copy of Sonic 2 branded with the Genesis branding and it worked perfectly fine. Was this just a packaging design error or a real thing?

Hello everyone! Can anyone help me with this game?
You can choose either between a wizard in blue robes with a staff and a viking with a 2 handed axe. Both of them have beards and are dwarf looking, hower I don't think they are dwarves. It's a platform game and you see your character from the side something like the old sonic games. Your enemies in one of the levels are skeletons I can remember. I remember playing the game somewhere between 1998 and 2005. Not sure when it came out though! I think the game could be played by two players

I decided to play some Pokemon Sapphire and Sonic Advance yesterday. My DS charger is missing so I used my GBA instead. 

Holy shit, it's so dark. I forgot how annoying it could be to play with, somehow it seemed brighter ten years ago. I can barely play it even under a lamp; I have to use a flashlight and even then it's dark. I'm gonna buy myself a new charger soon.

I don't understand why it was like that. I mean, I play my GBC often and the screen is a lot less dark than my GBA. I went on Google and circa 2001 there were a lot of complaints about the screen

Full-year game revenues up 19 percent; Total War: Rome II sells 1.13 million copies
SEGA Sammy Holdings

sega.com

Sega may be most closely associated with Sonic the Hedgehog, but the publisher doesn't rely on its console platformer mascot like it used to. Parent company Sega Sammy Holdings reported its full-year financial results today, with a turnaround for the gaming business led by a pair of PC titles.

Total War: Rome II was the company's best-selling game for the year, with 1.13 million copies sold, followed by Football Manager 2014 and its 790,000 copies sold. The worldwide Wii U and 3DS release of Sonic: Lost World was third, with 710,000 copies sold. The top five was rounded out by THQ bankruptcy acquisition Company of Heroes 2 (680,000 sold) and the Japanese launch of Yakuza: Ishin for PS3 and PS4 (390,000 sold).

Was I the only one who loved torturing chao in the Sonic Adventure games? I gotta give props to Sega. I can't explain it, but there's something so satisfying about smacking the little fuckers around. That shivering noise they make, the crying - but the pièce de résistance was when they would run away from you, screaming in terror.

I know what you're thinking, and yes, I've fapped to it before. Furiously.

Myth: The Wii U has no games

This is usually said by someone of the Pc, Sony or Xbox alliance. Someone speaking on ignorance. How do they know they're ignorant? Because they're speaking on something they know nothing about. If you don't play the games how do you know it has no games aka has no quality titles?

>Super Mario 3D World- Ugh Mario AGAIN? Most Mario titles are creative, unique and beautiful. Most importantly fun. This is all of that.
> Rayman Legends - But I can play that on PS3. So? Runs great on U and the gamepad adds to the experience.
> Need for Speed U - Better graphics than Ps3 and gamepad is useful in changing cars, and playing off tv is cool
>Wonderful 101 - Good looking game, smooth gameplay. Challenging and unique
>Monster Hunter 3 - Its excellent, go kill a monster
>Zelda WInd Waker - UGH GAMECUBE? So? It looks much better now, they made a lot of improvements to the game and also, if you can only handle playing a game once every ten years then why do you even buy games?
>Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Haven't played it yet. It has great reviews and the trailers look great
>New Super Mario Bros. U - Fun game, especially with friends
>New Super Luigi U Just as fun as above
>Nintendo Land - Fun game worth having
>Sonic Lost World - I don't think it is great. But it can be a fun game, worth a look if you can get it cheap
>Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper - Haven't played it, looks pretty sweet
>Zombi U - overrated but still fun
>Duck tales 
Then you have your downloadable games

I also wonder why franchises like Sonic and Bubsy have relatively high numbers of autistic fans, whereas franchises with human or human-like characters (Mario and Mega Man for example) do not.

People who like Sonic The Hedgehog should be ashamed of themselves. Sega really should just can the franchise and cook up something new to replace it, but they feel a need to pander to the adult manchild fanbase that still lingers for some unknown reason- even though most of them don't actually buy the games. It's as if Sega is afraid to try anymore. Sega don't what Nintendo.

Sup /v/, why don't you own a Wii U?

Wii U Facts and Opinions.

-------------------------------Facts-----------------------------------------

Underpowerd compared to PS4/Xbox one.

No X86 architecture. (3rd party devs can't just simply port games over)

Bad Marketing.

Lack of "Blockbuster' exclusives. (Mario Kart, Smash, Zelda, Metroid ETC)

Not Selling (Because of ^^^^^^)

Very little (Big name) 3rd party support.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------Opinions-------------------------------------

"Vastly" underpowered compaired to PS4/Xbox one.

Too expensive. (Wii U $300) (PS4 $400) (Xbox one $500)

Inferior online. (At least it's free)

No games. (Mario bros U/Luigi U, Pikmin 3, W101, Lego City, ZombiU. Wind Waker, 3D World, Sonic and more)

"Dumb" and "Gimicky" Gamepad.

Games look like PS3/360 games or worse.

Needs to have Blu-Ray/DVD player and streaming.

Games Suck/are "Kiddy"

Needs to discontinue Wii U and make a new more powerful system.

Is "DOOMED"

Is a "crap" console.

Get rid of the Gamepad

Sega hands over complete control of the Sonic the Hedgehog IP to you with but a single demand; "make us money". What do you do? Do you round up Sonic Team and design a game, be it good or bad? Do you license Sonic to others? Do you disregard Sega and let him die?

I don't see what all the fuss is about SEGA wanting more 'friends' for Sonic. As long as it's not trying to add more hedgehogs, that's fine.

So /v/

I have to admit... I am a pleb as far as you are concerned 
I used to be kinda into gaming but as of the last 5-6 year I got out of it completely (med school killed the amount of time I had)
And the last few years I wasn't playing anything new 

Please recommend me a game that I would like. I miss gaming so much. 

Used to love fps (counter strike, doom, wolfenstein, red faction) 
was a big fan of wc2/wc3
I love entry level jrpgs (final fantasy/chrono trigger/pokemans)
Love all zelda games (haven't played anything past twilight princess, which I played on gamecube not wii)
Only played first metal gear solid for psx and loved it
As a child I really liked sonic / turtles in time / streets of rage (how ever many of them there was)
I love a game with engaging storyline, but thats not essential 

Please help me /v/
I just want to enjoy games likes I used to

/v/, I know fuck-all about building a PC, but I want to get one that will last me a couple of years and a decent price.

I've set a limit of €500 ($700) and this is a rough draft of the build:
>Graphics: R9 270X or a GTX660
>CPU: FX 6300
>Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
>RAM: 8GB
>Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620
>Case: HAF 912

The benchmark I want to set is Watch_Dogs. If it can play Watch_Dogs at 1080p/constant 60fps with graphics that are equal or better than the PS4 version, then I'll be very happy.

I want the game to look like this:
gfycat .com BreakableInsecureIrishdraughthorse
gfycat .com DiscreteSociableHind

Any improvements you'd make the the build? Is that benchmark possible?

I find it very annoying that the fanbase of the Sonic the Hedgehog series is often accused of having autism by some people posting on the internet. (Never in real life, as they probably wouldn't feel comfortable doing so). I am a fan of the Sonic the Hedghehog series but I am also a fan of other things, I am not as strong a fan of the series as many others are. However, I know that most people who are fans of the Sonic the Hedgehog series do not have autism, and it's quite clear most people who say that Sonic the Hedgehog fans have autism don't understand what autiusm is. (I am saying "Sonic the Hedgehog" to distinguish it from the character of Sonic, who is a part of the Sonic the Hedgehhog series).

I would like to see some posts about this. Why do many people accuse fans of Sonic the Hedgehog of having autism? I don't see many signs of it. And why is it mostly directed toward fans of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and not other video game series?

Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 are developed Platinum games. Sega has a deal with Nintendo for 3 exclusive Sonic games.
A family member of mine bought something from them years ago and has been getting emails from them ever since.
Just go to the website and type Wii U in the search bar.

Sonic Racing Transformed is great and all, but the collisions with other players feel really inconsistent. Playing online and getting nudged into the level geometry and getting stuck for a few seconds kills the entire race.

First I'd like to preface this with [spoiler]Why the fuck are there so many kerfuffle threads today?[/spoiler]

Second, let's talk about Project M.

Yes, we could shitpost and say it's terrible because you've never played it and you think it's tourneyfag shit or we could shitpost and say it's better than kerfuffle, but I don't want to discuss that, I want to discuss the character decisions.

So far, they stated there will be only 7 added characters due to "Clone Engine Limits," and continue to say this despite it being confirmed that they can add as many characters as they can add stages (To those who don't know anything about brawl modding: 500+.)

Knowing this, two characters have been released:
>Mewtwo
>Roy

and 5 have been "leaked":
>Isaac from Golden Sun
>Lyn from FE
>Knuckles from Sonic 3
>Skull Kid from Majora's Mask
>Sami from Advanced wars

I have absolutely no issues with Isaac, because:
He is the most popular, least controversial character that's being added and because he could have an interesting moveset.

And, I don't have a problem with Knuckles either, sure a 2nd Sonic character isn't a good idea, but he'd be a great Little-Mac type character. Plus, he has plenty of unique abilities to back him up. You also have to admit that the leaked Logo, "Project M & Knuckles," is clever.

However, I have problems with the following four characters.

Why cant you faggots just have fun playing a video game? who cares about resolution. I can understand the butthurtness over FPS because 60 is much better than thirty, but damn. Just play a game and have fun.

my theory. [spoiler] 80% of /v/ isnt even old enought to have played anything without 3D graphics and hyper-realistic textures. [/spoiler]

there is a reason that everyone has nostalgia for older games. nobody gave a fuck about how shitty that games looked. nobody cared about how shitty the sprites looked in final fantasy VI or that sonic was not in three dimensions.

So i'm playing this game...and it's not the worst thing ever. I think it was mostly hyperbole by the "internet personalities." until I get further in...this is pretty...offputting.

How can a sonic game be like this?

Also, why are autists drawn to this?

anyway, come check it out with me? I'm drinking heavily through loading screens.

Fact: Adding waifubait to the roster is akin to adding Sonic fan characters. 

The only exception is if they have literally one of the most interesting movesets on the roster. Even then, like with Rosalina a little piece of me will always hate her because Sakurai effectively jerked off a bunch of waifufags letting her in.

The rest of the newcomers are actually getting in because they bring new things to the table, if any of the following get in and aren't fresh as fuck it's pretty much the same as [Your name] the Hedgehog getting on the roster on the pandering to retards scale
>Krystal
>Palutena
>Sami
>Lucina
>Daisy
>Lynn
>Tharja
>Alternatively obscure FE waifubait
>Candy Kong

I'm aware that if it's a female in a game someone has claimed it there waifu but it's pretty obvious these have become or started off as nothing more than waifufag fap material. The only female characters at this point that I wouldn't consider to be in this category that Nintendo own are:
Dixie Kong, she's relevant right now if they were to add a new Kong rep, but really K. Rool or Cranky are more likely than her due to more overall relevance. She's a far stretch and would be disappointing.
And then Anna, who has been in every FE game, would be a incredibly long stretch and also disappointing, but as far as series representation goes, she makes sense.

Anyone who thinks there should be or is a "quota" of female or villain characters to fulfill over an interesting and varied roster from a moveset perspective is clinically retarded.

ITT: Feed on waifufags tears.

title: History Lesson: Radar Scope, the failure that saved Nintendo
comment:
>Alarms blare as the transmission is received. "Captain, your duties are to shoot 48 UFOs. Good luck!" it adds as the galactic void stretches before you.

>You'll need it. Wave after wave of Gamma Raiders swoop from above, pummelling the outer shields of your mechanical home, the Sonic Spaceport. Sweat builds as colour bleeds into the damage meter - when it's fully illuminated, your rapid-fire laser blasters weaken.

>This is Radar Scope, and in 1980, 2,000 units sat gathering dust in a New Jersey warehouse.

>In the late 1970s, Nintendo's terrifying president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, had his perpetual snarl aimed at arcade coffers. Nintendo's success on the lightgun scene had given him an almost vampiric taste for small change.

>Underlings from Nintendo's R&D1 team brought him Space Frenzy (a duff Space Invaders clone), Sheriff (a clumsy precursor to Robotron) and Space Firebird (a shameful Galaxian rip-off). A rumour we're starting right here says at least one underling lost part of his head thanks to these duds

>Oddly, Radar Scope was not dissimilar to Space Firebird. The descending aliens had that same twirling Galaxian motion, the major difference being a pseudo-3D effect that saw the enemies grow bigger as they got closer.

>Hailing from the murky depths of R&D1, anecdotes suggest resident Nintendo genius Shigeru Miyamoto had a hand in it. If he did, he's certainly kept it off the CV - a move calculated to avoid the ire of the deafened masses, perhaps?.

OK... wait...

>E3 2014

>Microsoft/Sony conference

>Capcom announce a Ghost Rider X Devil May Cry crossover game entitled Spirit May Cry

>Gameplay is a CO-OP multiplayer DMC game.

There are two main stories to choose from: DMC and SOV (Spirits of Vengenace).

The DMC story playable characters include Dante, Vergil [spoiler]
(yes, he comes back; this is a Marvel game so lrn2retcon)[/spoiler] and Trish (or Nero if you want a sausage-fest IDK).

SOV characters include Blaze, Ketch-aniki (blue flame version), and Micheal Badilino AKA Vengenance AKA fuck bone-claw Wolverine.

Typical Edgy the Edgehog Devil May Cry plot. This time, though, you get the whole Marvel roster for Capcom to fuck with.

Bosses include: Spider Asshole from DMC1, Blackheart, and Nicolas Cage.

Rival boss fights somewhere in the middle of the game:

1. Blaze vs. Dante
2. Ketch vs. Vergil
3. Badilino vs Trish

Final Boss is Mundphisto with some epic Metalcore shit playing in the background (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZGJrYPMkNI)

Her favorite games are the .Hack series, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and Shadow of the Colossus.

She gets frustrated really easy, so maybe an easy game, or a game with an easy setting.

Man, 3D Sonic games are almost always fundamentally flawed 

The games always fall apart when you just slow down and take a really close look at everything. I can understand how some people could like Sonic 06, on paper its a good game, and some people would even find it enjoyable if breezed through but if you just honestly look at almost all 3D sonic games pre-secret rings, they are broken, unpolished games. 

SSX is arguably the best 3D Sonic game and it's not even a Sonic game.

Does anyone else feel like Sonic is being taken for granted in Smash Bros?

In Brawl, he was a last-minute addition and had a nonsense out-of-nowhere role in SSE.

And in the marketing for Smash Bros 4, he has almost been ignored. He was announced via a Miiverse post, and he didn't get an close-up look in the Smash Bros Direct.

Does Nintendo even think of Sonic as a third-party character?

My choice, pic related

>Big Boss with his years of experience and being the head of his own Army is perfect to lead a group of misfits. Also can easily defend himself and most likely is charismatic for the fact people he abducts join his side.

>Sonic though lacking in much strength can make up with it for his speed.

>Link's various know how of various equipment makes him more then just an archer.

>Kratos can take out gods and is an incarnation of pure rage, near unstoppable.

>Original Lara Croft is highly athletic and has taken down a T-Rex A dab hand with various fire arms and has a similar sex appeal as Widow does.

?Raiden for the fact that he is an elder god and his ability to fly, teleport and electrocute easily make him an expy for Thor with a twist. He is willing to explode heads.

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet ... but this is a killer deal if you would like some of the android ports of various games.

On Amazon (so this goes through the Amazon App store) they offer a coin currency for Android items. Currently, these five free titles reward in 200 coins a piece.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nav_sap_mas ... ascsubtag=[referrer|kotaku.com[type|link[postId|1580577411[authorId|5727177402741770316

That nets you $10 in Amazon Android cash.

Using that, you can buy San Andreas

http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto- ... an+andreas

San Andreas nets you $20 in Amazon Android cash. Meaning now you'd have $23 to spend!

Lots of titles give money back.

I purchased Minecraft Pocket Edition http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00992 ... =mas_ya_dp
Sonic 4 EP 2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096D ... =mas_ya_dp
Sonic 4 EP 1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008K8 ... =mas_ya_dp
Sonic 2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HAP ... =mas_ya_dp

Which cost $19, but give back $10.

I used the remaining $14 on Vice City, Crazy Taxi and Sonic 1.

So. San Andreas, Vice City, Minecraft, Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 4-1, Sonic 4-2, and Crazy Taxi for $0.

Other stuff available on there are things like Sonic CD, Jet Grind Radio, and Chu Chu Rocket.

Thought people would like to know, free games (or other Android applications if you're into that kind of thing) And as a heads up, it does take a minute or so for the reward coins to show up. And I have no idea how long this'll be possible for. The San Andreas deal has an expiration date, but I'm not sure about the 200 coin free apps.

I always wanted to play games with my friends, like fighting games, co-op games, 4 player games and racers ect.. But they never all seemed to like it for some reason, recently I played sonic all star racing transformed with them earlier and they just didnt seem to like it. They were finishing the races 8th, 9th 10th consecutively with me at the lead, I finally figured out the fact why they didnt like the games, they were bad at them.

I told them the more they play, the better they become and their response was something like, "why keep playing and get good at something I only play occasionally?" 

How do I get them to play more 4 player multiplayer couch games? Do I lose on purpose for their benefit?

title: Sonic Velocity coming to Mobile
comment:
Greetings. My name is Grant and I am a PR representative for Hardlight Studios. Incase you're not aware. We have developed 2 Sonic games exclusively for Mobile. Sonic Jump and Sonic Dash. Both games were immensely successful and garnered high praise from Mobile gamers and Sonic fans alike. Now. I have a special announcement exclusively for the Sonic fans which congregate here on 4chan. We are since again developing a Sonic game for Mobile. Except this time it's a Jumper or an Endless runner. No. This time we have designed a 2D Sonic Platformer EXCLUSIVELY for Mobile. Sonic Velocity will feature everything you love about Sonic. Including Rings, Springs and most importantly SPEED. We brought onboard several employees from Dimps to help create some of the levels which include a Futuristic Metropolis to a Resonance Fair. We think Sonic Velocity will scratch the itch of an Original Sonic platformed for mobile when it's releases in the late Fall.

I registered Mario Kart 8 and I have to choose between 10 games to get 1 for free, the problem is that I have all of the core titles and the only games I don't have are Game and Wario, Wii Party U and Mario and Sonic Sochi 2014.
I don't plan to sell my other games like Wind Waker or New Super Mario Bros U to get it digitally so which one should I get between those three games?

>This thread is the first I've made since E3 launched and probably the last. I'll be giving you guys some information regarding my video gaming background so that you can have a better image of where I'm coming from. First and foremost this isn't a thread about taste or fandom so please don't shit on it with narrow halfassed posts like some of you seem to be accustomed to. 

My first console:
>Sega Genesis 
My first game:
>Batman 
(The dark one that's impossible for a 3 year old to figure out.)

Other games I played on the Genesis:
>Street Fighter
(My favorite and also the one I was best at)
>Pitfall
(Really got into this game and was simple and fun)
>Sonic
(That one sonic game with a Casino and Sky level, can't be fuck to google it but was interesting enough for me to advance in. Never became invested in sequels)

?I skipped a couple years growing up without video games. I never got my hands on a Nintendo system so I did miss out on a couple worthwhile games

My second console:
>Playstation 

My first Playstation game:
>Starwars the Phantom Menace
(When I first received this game I wasn't bitching and moaning over the fact that it was a "Starwars story gaem 0/10 shit canceled my preorder linear as shit" I was intrigued and genuinely exited that I had a cool game with light sabers and laser guns to play. It was a fun experience from beginning to the palace level which was as far as I got. Also >dat hangar level.)

Other games I played on the Playstation:
>Driver demo
(At the time I didn't know what a demo was and couldn't figure out how to play the game so I just drove around wreaking havoc and escaping the police. It was very fun and played it frequently.)
>Crash Bandicoot 
(This was at the time my favorite game to play. I would get home and ditch homework just to keep playing this game, I was 7 years old.)

CONT.

I don't understand how one sonic game can exemplify perfect level design and at the same time include just as many levels with absolutely atrocious designs. Adding a bumper that launches you directly into a wall of spikes is not difficulty, its lazy bullshit. Literally the only thing that kept me playing through this mess was the soundtrack.

So can we get a sonic music thread seeing how its the only thing Sonic Team can do right.

Alright guys, I came here a few days ago asking about build options (mostly graphics cards). Now I come asking if anby of you know about mother boards and power sources. My current ideal build is
-Seasonic G series 550W
-Rosewill Gaming Black R5 Case
-Intel i5 4670k
-Kingston HyperX 8gb RAM
-Nvidia GTX 770 2GB
-Asus Sabertooth Z87 LGA 1150 Motherboard
-Kingston HyperX 3K 120 GB SSD
-CD Drive 

All of this costs about 1,100, and I already have my motherboard fan and my hard drive. So what should I change? What would be more cost efficient for the cost? And what can I change?

Do you see this man? This man is responsible for the Mario Kart series going in the direction it's in. This man is responsible for the addition of a new baby character with almost every installment since he got made producer. 

This man is responsible for Yoshi going from a dinosaur to a walking faggot Barney.

This man is responsible for the items never being quite balanced.

This is the man that's holding the franchise back from its full potential. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the games. I'm enjoying MK8, but Sonic Transformed, for all the flaws that game has, show that if Nintendo really set their minds to it, they can create the GOAT kart racer to take the throne that CTR and DKR have been fighting over.

But no. Not until this man stops shitting up the series with his fetishes and ideas of "fun".

I'm embarrassed that I bought this game, /v/. I fell for the hype. Fucking Nintendo fanboys tricked me again.

So many thing went wrong with this game. I don't even know where to begin.

In comparison to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and its predecessors it just feels barebones and dry. Like Nintendo was phoning it in this time around.

Mario Kart 8 has worse:

-Graphics (while Sonic is a buttery smooth native 1080p with full anti-aliasing @ 60 FPS, this game is a nightmare of jaggies that runs at 720p). I honestly think I prefer the look of Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii's graphics being emulated @ native 1080p with AA in the Dolphin emulator over Mario Kart 8's slightly better textures/character models/effects that come at the expense of being low-res with no AA. I've been playing Sanic and emulating those two in HD for years so Mario Kart 8 just feels like a step back from all three. MK8's graphics are not nearly as good as they have been hyped up to be.

-Courses (Sonic has fewer but they are longer and more unique)

-Soundtrack (it's sad how generic and flat the music sounds on most of the courses in this game)

-Controls (no stupid shoehorned in gamepad in Sonic or the other Marios)


-Gimmicks (Sonic's boats/planes transformation gimmick is way better than Mario Kart 8's anti-gravity; the two characters in a kart in Double Dash each with their own special power-ups was better than anti-grav)

So the man with the extremely sexy voice at GameXplain has the first scoop on Sonic Boom. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR1YSt26O1E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0tCCjYxSU4

To summarise the Wii U version is co-op, has open worldy "adventure" levels and hub worlds, speed style levels like in Generations for inbetween adventure levels and boss levels as well. You can swap between available character whenever you like and they allow you to reach different areas and collectables. Sounds like you can complete some levels just using one character if you want.

3DS version has side scrolling adventure levels which are non-linear and also allow you to swap characters. Race levels where you try to beat your partner to the goal - also sidescrolling. And speed type levels where you'll be changing lanes to avoid obstacles.

As for how characters play, Stitch or whatever the new badger girl is called can throw a boomerang to hit switches, tails can chuck bombs and fly for periods, amy can do some platforming bits the others can't by using her hammer to swing of poles and Knuckles is generally rougher than the rest of them, tougher than leather and perhaps the best of them.

The Ride OC Thread? It's vidya because it pertains to Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games, but takes place in the Mobius Prime setting of the comics. The main rule is not to create ones as autistic as the ones you find on deviantArt or wherever else. That means, it cannot be more powerful than Sonic, cannot go super, and cannot be a recolor of Sonic or any other established characters.

Plus, what harm comes from trying to get /v/'s creative juices flowing? If you can't draw very well, just put down your design ideas in MS Paint as best as you can.

Nintendo poster showing a 3DS image played on TV.

Loads of Morpheus kits.

New Atlus or Namco fighting game. 3rd party source.

Weird new 3DS stands.

New Steam mobile app coming.

Huge pile of arcade sticks. Never seen this many before. May be linked to the Atlus or Namco game.

What a great fuckin' experience. I was having a pretty shitty day until that call.

Nintendo (or MS, Sony or other) support line story thread?

On a side note - should my free game be Sonic Lost World or Game & Wario (UK fag here)? I was gonna get both 'cause my brother didn't want his download code, but it's one per system sadly....

Sonic Adventure is a crap game because of shoddy controls, bad voice acting, and game breaking glitches.

Etrian Odyssey IV is a solid game with no glitches, or broken controls.

Yet some people claim Etrian Odyssey is shit. 

Problem is that EO is a niche game, and it;s not for everyone, but just because you tried something that you didn;t neccessarily like, that doesn't mean it's bad.

People need to learn the difference between actual bad games and personal opinion.

Does anyone have any headcanon or ways you think about game characters that you can't be convinced otherwise?

The first sonic game I played was SA2:B and I played dark story first because I thought shadow looked so cool, so naturally I played hero story after and sonic just felt like such a piss poor knockoff of shadow.

 I can't even bring myself to play sonic games without shadow because my mind tells me they are some chinese knockoff. I would kill for a sonic genesis games mod that put shadow in so I could play the game with what I feel like is a true protagonist.

So do you all have feelings about certain characters or games that you cant get over even though it's wrong?

Can anyone help me understand why so many people hate this spinoff for not playing exactly like a Sonic Team game? Why did you expect it to in the first place? Are there any spinoffs other than Shadow that use the game play style of the main game before it? IMO it looks to be similar to Unleashed.

>ITT We give out game ideas, that should already be fucking done. Shills take notice

3D Megaman with 8 awesome mavericks/robots and Dr. Wily's castle stages
Stages have inside and outside parts, tight corridors and big open areas. Capcom you want to make money right?

Open world game where 110% of the buildings are accessible. (Don't understand why this one hasn't been done yet?) Give it GTA style freedom and maybe also Oculus Rift first person mode. SOLD!

Mario Kart game that has all the best retro tracks and new tracks that are actually fucking good. Include the regular battle stages and include every mother fucking character that you can possible think of in the roster (Including Wart). You got to sell those Wii Us right? And you probably don't want to lose to Sonic & All-Stars racing again ;)

Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash HD remakes with online play. Nothing more to say. Activision now it's time to [spoiler]act[/spoiler]

3D Pokemon action RPG. Like with all the fucking pokemanz and live actions battles and shit. Nintendo you know what to do. The battle may be lost, but you can still win the WAR!

People try and use the fact that DBZ games are published by Namco Bandai as a way to justify their want for Goku to be in Super Smash Bros. But here's the thing.

All Namco Bandai does is publish the games. They don't actually develop them nor help in any sort of way.

By the same logic those people are using, Miku Hatsune has a better chance of being in Super Smash Bros. than Goku because her games, the Project Diva games, are not only published by SEGA, but they're also developed first-hand by SEGA.

Potentially, Miku could be in Super Smash Bros. alongside Sonic, be it as a playable character or Assist Trophy.

So the roster the Smash Invitational filed with Sakurai lists Little Mac, ZSS, Bowser, Wii Fit Trainer, Marth, Mega Man, Pit, Villager, Pikachu, Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, Rosalina & Luma, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Greninja, Pikmin & Mario, Zelda, and Fox.

Why is this? Why are the amount of characters playable at the Invitational and presumably the Smash Fest limited? They're functional as the various trailers show. Why shouldn't we be allowed to use Ike and King Dedede? I mean I can get not being able to play as EVERYONE as everyone isn't revealed yet but for the ones that are it strikes me as kind of silly.

Okay, playing sonic adventure again for the nostalgia, and I start thinking... Picture this right, a retelling if you will...
So froggy is desperately trying to escape from this feline rapist ominiously known only as 'Big' every time he comes into contact with 'Big' something hideous happens, a robot, eggman, AMY FOR GODSAKE, so froggy has had enough. At the start, we see him lying in Big's hideous jungle rape hideaway leaping for freedom as a sexually induced comatose Big rouses from his slumber. He's fucking obsessed with froggy. He fixates on that soft slimey amphibian flesh. And the entire Big mission is now no longer a charming tale of a missing comrade, but a tale of obsessive interspecies love most foul.

In my eyes, even though I'm not a normalfag, I see you guys as autistic as the ponyfuckers or the Sonic manchildren. The way you use reaction images, use fucking foreign language and praise an alien culture baffles me.

It'd be like If I learnt german, watched only german made cartoons and wanted to move to germany to eat german food and talk to german people.

I wonder if the reason I'm not disappointed in this game is because I've had no expectations for it since I've known it was going to be a spinoff. I never bothered to make expectations because this game could have been anything, and no matter what it became it wouldn't have any impact on the sonic game play style whatsoever. My only disappointment since the game's reveal was that Sega and Nintendo didn't make the final game of there 3-game exclusive deal a Mario and Sonic platformer.
What I really don't understand is why some people are acting like this game will have any impact on future games. This game will only create sequels if it sells well. I also don't get why some people compare this game to Generations and Lost World while complaining about it. The biggest thing I don't understand is why exactly so many people even care about this spinoff as if it were the next mainstream Sonic game. The real next game is coming out In 2015/2016 on Not-Nintendo.

Then they will say: "Please take a look at 3 games that will be released in the first half of 2015"

-Yarn Yoshi
-Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem
-Zelda U

Then they will say: "one last thing, take a look at this game that is being made by Namco Bandai to be released in December 2015"
-Pokken Fighters, Tekken with Pokemon characters.


They will do that, and they will win easily. And they will not even need 3DS games to have more games than Sony and Microsoft combined.

Am I the only one expecting the worse for Nintendo Direct?
I mean, I wish I were hyped for it. I really wish. 

But knowing them, half of it will disclose information of game we already know about. 

For example, we know they are going to talk about Sonic Boom. There was footage of its gameplay last week, but if I got right, Sega asked for it to be removed by the guys of gamexplain or something like that. Being one of the "nintendo sonic exclusives" titles, they are most definitely covering it in the direct. And even if I cared at all about that piece of shit, the gameplay is no surprise at all. There is absolutely nothing new the direct could say about that game.

The same goes for pokemon ORAS. "Officially", to Nintendo's eyes, people don't have more information of the games other than Groudon and Kyogre's 3d models from that 5 seconds trailer they showed after the japanese show. "Officially" corocoro scans hasn't been leaked and they will most likely disclose that information during the direct. Again, information the common folk already know about. Even if you care about the remakes, the direct will tell you nothing new about them.

And probably, the same will go with Smash. I mean, yeah, they will most likely reveal a newcomer/returning character. Which is good and all, but it is a game we already know about.

So far, those are 3 games. Out of 30 to 60 minutes the direct could take (I heard twitch says it will last 60, but nippon's youtube says its 30), that is a lot of screentime covering things we already know about.

Don't get me wrong, I know Nintendo usually reveals more info later during the week, like last year's WFT or the year we got the first Brawl trailer. But I'm worried in a few hours we will all be disappointed massively.

Any thoughts? Please call me a big faggot about this, I want to be corrected. I want to try to be hyped for the next 6 hours

Looking at this extended gameplay, I feel optimistic about this game again. The only problems I see in the video are the 2 or 3 frame drops and that the player keeps interrupting his boosts.

Pac-Man, Mega Man, Mario, and Sonic. Our childhood gaming mascots, together in one game. Nintendo is for the gamers. Take your shitty shooting games and your subpar third party cliches, I'll take true fun, interesting visual styles, and experimental game mechanics over that stuff any day.

If you don't think they still get people excited about video games, just look at how they have a firm grip on the collective mindshare of this year's E3. Any gaming forum, any social media website, wherever you go you see people discussing Nintendo the most. People are finally realizing what truly matters in video games.

So, let's sum up, /v/. Let's assume, for the moment, we have a 50 character roster.

We have the following...

Mii Fighter
Palutena
Ike
Charizard
[spoiler]Naruto[/spoiler] Greninja
Yoshi
Shiek
Zero Suit
Diddy Kong
Lucario
Little Mac
King Dedede
Zelda
Rosalina
Marth
Sonic
Toon Link
Peach
Luigi
Olimar
Mario
Dong Kong
Villager
Link
Megaman
Samus
Wii Fine Ass
Kirby
Fox
Pikachu
Bowser
Pit
And finally, Pac-Man.

That leaves us with seventeen remaining slots. 

Ice Climbers, Captain Falcon, Ness, Jiggs, Metaknight, Game and Watch, Falco, Ganondorf, and Wario, we can reasonably assume will return. Maybe R.O.B, Wolf and Lucas too.

If we assume the Gematsu leak is correct, add on Shulk, Chrom and Chorus Fags.

That leaves us with two slots. [spoiler]Captain Toad and unfortunately Dark Pit.[/spoiler]

Feel free to submit your own choices.

RATE THEM /v/

>Villager
Animal Crossing is extremely deserving of a spot after becoming one of Nintendo's most well-received and best-selling. I really wished the Villager's appearance was different though. I know there's alts, but I wish the main one had the horns. Also I don't really like the name 'villager', so bland, but I guess 'crosser' doesn't sound too great. 9/10

>Mega Man
One of the few third parties who is deserving and fitting. Based sakurai keeping the retro style. Easily a 10/10

>Wii Fit Trainer
Totally good pick for a WTF character. I became visibly angry when I heard she was announced but after I saw how hilarious she is, I instantly accepted her inclusion. 8/10

>Rosalina
Some moves are neat, like gathering items all around you with her vortex, but I really could do without her. I'm a waluigi-fag. 3/10

>Little Mac
Should have been in since Melee. 10/10

>Greninja
eh, when you really compare Greninja to Charizard, the ninja-frog is a great counter. New, water, weaker, faster. But there could have been more interesting picks. 4/10

>Mii
To be honest, the Wii series is as big of a series as any other Nintendo series and warrants a character. Mixed opinions on the whole custom character thing. It obviously fits their character, but if you don't go as far as say Soul Calibur's create a character mode, it ends up feeling just gimmicky (though I guess that is also fitting of their character). 8/10

>Palutena
Medusa or Hades would have been better. 6/10

>Pac-Man
Mario vs Sonic vs Mega Man vs Pac Man LETS GO 10/10

At this point, it's clear the Gematsu leak is clear.

However, it never specified how many newcomers. It also didn't say Rosalina. Which, as we all know, means that it is likely that there are a few more newcomers. Let's take a look at the current Roster.

>Mario
>Luigi
>Bowser
>Peach
>Yoshi
>Donkey Kong
>Diddy Kong
>Link
>Zelda
>Sheik
>Toon Link
>Pikachu
>Charizard
>Lucario
>Greninja
>Marth
>Ike
>Samus
>Zero Suit Samus
>Kirby
>King Dedede
>Sonic

That's 22 Veterans.

>Villager
>Mega Man
>Wii Fit Trainer
>Rosalina
>Little Mac
>Greninja
>Palutena
>Mii Fighters
>Pac Man

9 Officially Confirmed Newcomers. So we currently have 31 Characters confirmed. Brawl had 39 characters. Now, it's time to get theoretical. Here are the veteran characters who have yet to be confirmed.

>Ice Climbers
>Mr. Game & Watch
>Ness
>Captain Falcon
>Falco
>Wolf
>Wario
>Meta Knight
>Lucas
>Snake
>Squirtle
>Ivysaur
>R.O.B
>Ganondorf
>Jigglypuff
>Young Link
>Pichu
>Roy
>Mewtwo
>Dr. Mario

20. If we cut the cut Melee reps, we'd be at 15.

>Chrom
>Shulk
>Chorus Man

These are the three yet-to-be confirmed reps from the leak. Just three.

Now, let's assume the final Smash roster will be 50 characters. 31 are already confirmed. Assuming there are no cuts to the Brawl roster, we'd get 46, leaving 4 slots left.

So /v/, who do you think those final 4 slots will be?

I can't believe this. Somewhere in the fundamentals of smash, Sakurai thinks its a logical next step to have character customization. Now, he has to have identical rosters (which limits the wii u roster) but they can't even play together!

Remember when you choose a character on how you played as them and became part of the alliance of olimar users (or whatever)(next meeting on sunday)

Thread about your experience at Best Buy for Smash-Fest.

A the Garden State Plaza, the Best Buy staff had 4 3DS demos and 1 Wii U demo set up.

For each person on line, they played:
1 1v1 match on 3DS, 2-minute Time, with items (so 2 sets of 2 people)
1 Free-for-All match on Wii U, 2-minute Time, with items (so 4 people)

Both systems had these characters:
Mario
Bowser
DK
Zelda
Samus
Pit
Marth
Kirby
Little Mac
Fox
Pikachu
Greninja
Villager
Mega Man
Sonic
Wii Fit Trainer

Only the 3DS demo had these guys:
Luigi
Yoshi
Toon Link
Sheik

Only the Wii U demo had these guys:
Rosalina + Luma
Link
Zero Suit Samus
Olimar

For the sake of the line behind me, I informed them about the two demo rosters and had the info spread around.

8 stages were available for each system, but I was unable to get their names. I did play Arena Ferox on 3DS as Sheik against Samus and Boxing Ring on Wii U as Rosalina + Luma against Pikachu, Villager, and Mega Man.

Sheik's Side-B now has a bomb attached to the chain's tip, and it seemed to work by snaring a player, pulling them close, and then triggering the bomb. Good power and knockback.

As for Rosalina + Luma, I tried to memorize her moveset, starting with her 3 taunts, then the ground A set, special set, aerial set, and grabs. I don't remember her capabilities, but she did seem to have the Peach floating ability and a heavy body type.

The store also had swag: Mario Kart 8 flags, Smash sticker (pair of name and logo), one other thing I couldn't identify, and a Smash pin (black logo on white). I initially wanted to keep the pin, but I felt bad for the latecomers, so I gave it to the line to pass around.

Regarding the coin, as long as you got on line and played your matches, you could preorder the game for either system and would get the coin with the game when they're out.

I had quite the eventful time today, and I do plan to play again on Saturday, by waiting there ~9AM? But I do have a dentist appointment at 12:30...

Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Party 5
Kirby Air ride

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Pacman Versus
007 Nightfire
Starfox Assault
Sonic Riders
Legend of Zelda Four Swords adventures,

>Frost also said that Sonic Boom stars a blue hedgehog that very much just wants to go at it alone. The game, Frost said, will open on Sonic going out on adventures alone, a thrill-seeker bent on taking down enemies on his own and faring solo against danger. But a close call that accidentally involves all of his concerned friends — Frost wouldn't share more plot details — forces him to realize that he can't go out alone — he needs to know when to ask for and let his friends help.

Can we have a whole thread dedicated to Sakurai and how based he is?

This man has never before made a bad game, every Kirby and Smash Bros game yet has been enjoyable.

That, and he has been shown to have the gaming Midas touch. Any dead series that he touches is instantly revitalized as exemplified by Kid Icarus Uprising, as well as the respect and love he has shown for Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man, which have been ruined by their original publishers.

This man is truly the hero gaming needs, and this thread is here to outline that point.

Is there any series you would like Sakurai to pick up? Would you rather he be given the freedom to make his own IP? Could he know anything about Mozart's whereabouts?

Any and all Sakurai related talk is allowed within this thread.

BRB knows how bad the Sonic fanbase is, so they decided to lessen the comparison in gameplay from past Sonic games even further to try and get a new audience altogether. How do you feel knowing this is partially your fault?

Well, yeah, this is apparently a thing. Stated to be 2015.
How to make a Mad Max game:

>play 70-80s Australian rock and possibly even disco/house, collectible in "sonics" you can play in the car
>feature shattered remnants of the MFP, biker gangs, and Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra's ruins plus Bartertown in the desert and the oil refinery, combining the locations of 2 and Thunderdome into one

Alright, here we go again.
My guess is there will be 47 total characters in smash 4.
linear regression on 12, 25, 35 (number of characters in smash 1-3) gives y = 11.5x + 1; substituting 4 for x gives y = 47.

In the picture:
Blues = confirmed
Greens = unconfirmed; in a past smash game
Yellows = unconfrmed; gematsu leak
Reds = others I believe have a high chance to be in
Tetra and Dixie were in brawl's data.
Sceptile makes a good replacement for pokemon trainer's ivysaur.

Food for thought:
Sakurai has a habit of including unfinished characters in later games (bowser, mewtwo, dedede)
Brawl had 14 unlockable characters. Only 2 of those were revealed before launch (snake and sonic; "third party" characters)

Lets talk.

How many characters do you think the roster is going to have, exactly?

They've already shown 33 characters. Melee had 11 unlockables, Brawl had 14.

Say there's 14 unlockables. Presumably Mega Man, Pac-Man and Sonic will be unlockable. And then there's Mr. Game & Watch, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Falco, Ice Climbers and Ness. That's still potentially 6 more (or maybe even more) who we haven't seen yet.

Do you think we might actually realistically see Ridley or K Rool?

>Snake Reveal
The Smash Bros fan base collectively shits itself, never has such a possibility even been imagined. This showed that the series was willing to reinvent itself, subvert fan expectations and surprise them ( Ironically something that the Metal Gear series has been known for ) and change with the times in the act of including a Non-Nintendo rep and especially one from a normally attributed as a Sony Franchise.

>Sonic Reveal
The Smash Bros fan base collectively shits itself again, the -only- possible reveal that could have topped snake at this point could have been Sonic

Sonic having been a direct adversary to Mario for so long in such a way that has never been seen since it felt like a wonderful symbolic capping point to the Sega - Nintendo console wars. 

His addition also in giving reps for the three most notable and important japanese video game companies in Sony, Sega and Nintendo.
>Mega Man reveal
The Mega Man fan base collectively shits itself and the Smash Bros fan base is happy for his inclusion. While he seems to be a wonderful and fun character to play as he historically has felt more like a nintendo IP and thus less as a 'Newcomer' then either Sonic and especially Snake.

In this way he feels closer and more fitting to the rest of the Smash Bros cast but at the same time that makes him less shocking then both Sonic or Snake.

>Sonic's 2nd reveal
It was expected at this point

>Pac-Man reaveal
At this point Pac Man was entirely expected due to both the Gematsu leak and the fact that it was announced that Namco was working with Nintendo on this smash bros since the very first trailer. Even Sakurai said himself that he was not able to include Pac-Man as he completely wished and this shows that perhaps that the characters inclusion felt more like a business decision rather then one from a friend to another as in the inclusion of Snake.


TL;DR Third Party Reveals for smash are getting worse and worse.

http://smashboards.com/threads/initial-super-smash-wii-u-tier-list-by-ct-zero.358376/

Hey everyone! After a lot of research and playing, here's my current tier list. This is just my opinion, though!

Top Tier
Kirby - Extremely fast, powerful, great grab range & throws, fantastic recovery and great spike
Pit - Extremely good super armor side B KO move, very fast, excellent recovery and a reflector
Zero Suit Samus - Very agile, fantastic recovery, range and combos
Greninja - Great aerials, fast and powerful attacks and a great projectile. Good recovery, too!
Donkey Kong - Surprisingly fast and very strong. Great recovery as well and a powerful spike

High Tier
Pikachu - Powerful Smashes and combos, great recovery and fast
Mario - Surprisingly agile and has tons of combos and great aerial game
Olimar - Powerful and fast moveset coupled with a fantastic recovery
Samus - Super fast and powerful ground game, Up-B is a KO move and has a great recovery
Fox - Very agile, super good recovery, tons of combos
Marth - More ground based now, weaker aerial game, throws are KO moves, great range
Rosalina - Very floaty, tricky game, great Up Smash, good aerials
Bowser - Fast and powerful, could be even higher!

Mid Tier
Mega Man -Weak up close game, but strong medium range game, good escape and tricky
Wii Fit Trainer - Very undeveloped, don't know much, though, putting her in the middle is safe.
Villager - Very weak up close, slow smash attacks, but good tilts and Up/Down Air
Sonic - No one played him!!! Putting him in the middle to be safe.
Link - Faster gameplay overall but much weaker camping game.

Low Tier
Little Mac - One mistake and you're done for! Can't fight platform camping or shield spam efficiently. Not the best grab range. Super powerful, but risky to use.
Zelda - Her moveset lacked strength, speed and range to compete with the other characters. She definitely needs to be changed up a bit.

The only defining details i can think of is that it was a game where i think you were a bat person and you could glide, and i think one of the places/stages took place in a grave yard or something. it was kind of cartoonish as well.

Assuming you play along and see the bugs and glitches as an extra challenge, and not use them as an exploit to bypass levels, this is actually a challenging game that separated the hardcore Sonic players from casual scum.

Do you have any reason to say this isn't true?

how does the mario franchise manage to stay this good after so many years?
I'm mean, look at the Simpsons. The tv series doesn't exist as long as mario and it already turned to shit 15 years or something ago
Or Sonic, who has also been around for a while. The devs already didn't know what to do with him after 6 entries, and only create good games by accident now
Comic series like Batman or Superman get a new author every few years, so that doesn't count. And even then they all had their 'shit' periods
And long running newspaper comics like Garfield have always been mediocre

so let me ask you again, how is mario still able to beat the competition?

How has /v/ changed over the years? How has it stayed the same? Obviously we are infested with SJW bullshit now, but aside from that. Has opinions on franchises and games changed since you've been here? Has /v/ gotten more or less hostile towards the industry in general? Did you think /v/ would change in some manner but it never did? Obviously, /v/ isn't one person, but speaking in general.

Changes:
>/v/ has always liked halo but only the past 2 -3 years has it been openly discussed with anything other than vile hatred, on topic disscusion used to be relegated till 12 - 8 AM in the mornings
>/v/ used to like sonic adventure 2, but now /v/ hates it
>/v/ used to like majora's mask, with the minority calling it edgy hipster bullshit, now it's the other way around

Things that have stayed the same:
>/v/ fucking loves kirby
>/v/ is easily trolled

>/v/ is filled with immature shitheads as well as some cool dudes, but mostly immature shitheads

title: Sonic Boom worse than Sonic 06 confirmed?
comment:
>Up until now though it’s been well known that Sonic 06 and Shadow the Hedgehog are the worst things to ever happen to the Sonic universe. Well, after my time spent with the Sonic Boom E3 demo, I walked away frightened and shaken feeling that this could very well be the worst Sonic game made to date.

>This leads to my next biggest problem with my Sonic Boom impression, the pacing. This game is slow. Like, Werehog stages slow, maybe even slower considering the lasso takes forever to get something done. I understand that this is an adventure take on the Sonic universe and I honestly don’t mind that at all. But between the long fights, and moving objects around, it just felt kinda boring. 

>Sonic Boom needs a lot of work. When I completed my demo I asked one of the reps at BigRedDot if these levels were final and to my horror he acknowledged it with a firm yes. I’m worried what will become of Sonic Boom and if it does turn out to be the next Sonic 06, then that’s a shame because there were some elements I enjoyed. I liked how the characters finally have personality, I enjoyed swapping characters on the fly, and the adventure elements really brought back the Sonic Adventure feel (which is something I haven’t felt in a long time). I want Sonic Boom to succeed but judging by my E3 impressions I fear it will be destined to fail.

What's the most autistic vidya thing you've ever done?

[spoiler] In 2007 I shipped Knuckles and Rouge, but the illness grew and grew. Soon every woman I looked at looked like Rouge, and I would imagine her being with Knuckles. I recorded myself replaying Sonic Adventures 2 and illegaly downloaded Sonic X and went back through the recordings and found all the scenes where Knuckles and Rouge have "moments". I compiled these all into a cd and labeled it as "proof". I would spend hours every day looking at the same fan drawn art that shipped Knuckles and Rouge and my obsession grew more and more. I re watched every scene of the anime where it was hinted they liked each other and rewatched them. I would look up rule 34 of rouge and every single one with Sonic or Shadow I would pretend didn't exist. I got into a fight with someone on the internet about whether Rouge liked Shadow more or Knuckles and everybody in the thread said Shadow.[/spoiler]I almost killed myself that night. 

Eventually I stopped going to school pretending to be sick (I was 17) and didn't go for 2 weeks just so I could ship knuckles and rouge and read every fanfiction and view every fanart. My parents discovered my gigabytes of files on knuckles and rouge when I went to the batheroom (the only time I left the room) and threatened to break the computer. I threw my mom and stopped myself from hitting her with my belt. I clung to my computer and screamed and they called the police where I was taken away and hospitalized for a month.

This went on for 5 months, and I stopped going to school the last 2 weeks of the fiasco. It started to get really bad during the last 2 months. I had to retake all my state tests (finals) again in January because I couldn't take the tests. I was removed from the national honor society after this.

Why does SEGA feel the need to endlessly and needlessly reinvent Sonic? After years of stagnating in shit, the series seemed to be making a recovery with the formula put forth by Colors and Generations. Even Lost World wasn't *that* bad.

Had this been announced five or ten years ago, I'd say that a reboot - even a shitty one - is exactly the kind of chemo the Sonic series needs, but the cruel reality is that Sonic has now been irrevocably thrown off course after an unprecedented move towards recovery. Why can't SEGA leave well enough alone?

Also since he never played Sonic, I can give some inputs:

>Can't jump out of spindash.
>Recovery feels about the same as in Brawl.
>Dash attack hits like Project: M's side+b, but can't jump out of it. Good for pressuring shields regardless. Don't use it to recover, you will plummet like a rock.
>Fair is buffed; has almost no landing lag.
>Dair is strong but has a gross amount of landing lag, moreso than Brawl.
>Uair doesn't kill shit, but is good for comboing with Spindashes.

He is risky as fuck to play, but kills shit early.

What do you think is the most painful thing to happen to the computer games industry in our time, /v/?

We could talk about financial aspects, but I'm thinking more along the lines of Rare being purchased by Microsoft, or their subsequent teasing of a Banjo-Kazooie game that [spoiler]although fun[/spoiler] was just a vehicle building toy and not Banjo-Threeie.

What about Free Radical becoming Crytek UK and Timesplitters 4 being cancelled? What about Capcom messing its fans around with Mega Man Legends 3 development before putting a lid on the project and blaming the public? Hell, what about their treatment of the Resident Evil series, where they got things right with Resident Evil 4 but will never go back to the original survival horror gameplay despite the games' downturn since?

What about Bullfrog being eaten by EA, and the corpse of Dungeon Keeper being paraded around as a microtransaction-riddled piece of crap that, worst of all, was just called "Dungeon Keeper", as if to mock the older games? What about Sega being swayed by the vocal minority to only make Sonic playable in most of his games, adding gimmicky features and managing to wreck a good returning feature so badly in 2006's unfinished beta (adventure fields) that it'll be gone forever, along with chao gardens?

Is it just my age, or has gaming become a soul-less affair? Even though it's a business and businesses are for, primarily, enriching the people in them, I still feel that the game market today places a higher value on the dollar than they did even when gaming was breaking sales records in the 80's and EVERYONE was trying to cash in with terrible, shitty games.

As a player, it's immediately obvious what the goal of the game is to me: is it to entertain, or to make money for the company involved, and I think that is related to the phenomenon known as Playing It Safe.

The Wii was a HUGE gamble... right? Except, not really. If anything, it was just a logical result of taking one technology and implementing it with video games. Motion based, light-gun style gaming is familiar to all, which is part of the reason Wii was immediately accessible: "oh, so you hold it like a remote? Yeah, I've done that before." Even though people like to say that the Wii is an example of a major console company taking risks, I'd argue that it's exactly the opposite: Nintendo made the decision with the Wii to start copying their competitors, and by that, I mean Play It Safe, and by Play It Safe, I really mean "banking on your childhood".

Let's take a brief stroll through the best-selling Wii titles to bank on your childhood:
1. Mario Kart Wii
2. New Super Mario Bros Wii
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Super Smash Brothers Brawl
5. Mario Party 8
6. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
7. Super Mario Galaxy 2
8. Donkey Kong Country Returns
9. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
10. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword


Every single game listed here features a character whom previously appeared in a best-selling Nintendo franchise. Every game listed above is either a spin-off or a sequel featuring the same characters you've played before. Minutiae about gameplay changes aside, Nintendo knows that Mario and Zelda are safe, and so Mario and Zelda are what they make, and Mario and Zelda are what sells.

And even though people claim his 3D adventures sucked I actually enjoyed many of them especially SA, SA2, and Generations. Up until now though it’s been well known that Sonic 06 and Shadow the Hedgehog are the worst things to ever happen to the Sonic universe (Spinball for me). Well, after my time spent with the Sonic Boom E3 demo, I walked away frightened and shaken feeling that this could very well be the worst Sonic game made to date. 

Whelp.

I really don't get the complaints about moving slowly and doing actual fighting in this game. People say the one thing you can't do to Sonic is take away his speed, but when a Mario has to jump to climb stairs or when Kirby can't inhale or fly infinitely, no one cares at all. What make Sonic's speed so important?

You faggots are the worst.

I finished Mass Effect the other day and it was one of the clunkiest, tedious, saddest excuses of an RPG I have ever played. Yes the universe and lore is impressive, but I really don't give a fuck when I'm forced to elope in the same "combat" sequence again after playing tank simulator 2007 on the most desolate landscape in any game I have ever played. And my God the asset re-use. This game is up there with Sonic Adventure 2 and Halo 4 for having some of the laziest and most repetitive asset re-use I have ever encountered.

I'm now 4 hours into Mass Effect 2 and it's already the better game. I can see exactly why /v/ shits on it. Yeah they removed a shit load of RPG elements, but those fucking blew in the first game anyway so who really gives a fuck? I have also seen /v/ give the third game a lot of shit but there is no way it can be worse than the first game even if they fuck up the story as much as everyone is saying they do.

How would you feel if Super Smash Bros 4 featured two Final Smashes for each character, which could be picked when selecting the character?

Think of the possibilities:
>Mario gets a rainbow star, flashes rainbow colours and does damage simply by touching other players (think of Super Sonic, but on foot)
>Samus gets a power bomb that does more damage the closer the opponent is when it's let off
>Zero Suit Samus calls in [spoiler]Ridley[/spoiler] to pick up another character and smash their shit
>Mega Man gets the Super Adapter for a little while
>Ness gets PK Rockin'
>Toon Link turns the wind and creates a huge gust that pushes opponents in one direction (while he himself is not affected)
>Pit gets the Great Sacred Treasure

/v/ I have a confession to make. Ever since I was a kid I've been playing videogames. My mom was the kind of parent to somewhat mediate what I was into. She wasn't a nazi about it, but occasionally not let me do SOME borderline sheltered stuff, like I couldn't watch Johnny Bravo (didn't want me growing up like him) or I couldn't play DK64 (she saw a mode entitled "monkey bash" and thought animal cruelty was written all over it) until I was 13. Because of this I grew up on more tame games, mostly titles like Mario, Pokemon, Sonic, Spyro, etc. 
Anyway when Shadow the Hedgehog came out I played it and actually liked it. I did think it was unnecessarily edgy and stuff, like giving Shadow guns and vehicles was completely unnecessary, but I considered it kind of good in it's own way, despite it's flaws. So to get to my point, to prove that it's a more bearable game than people made it out to be I decided I would unlock all the paths in the game; not levels or endings, but paths. I'm about 50 stories in. Don't even try and stop me /v/, I'm already too far gone.

Currently playing through the PS3 version for the first time, and it's not leaving a good impression. The camera is horrible. The Knuckles and Tails segements are unbearable because of the camera. Sonic doesn't feel as nice as his SA1 counterpart. Spin dash is nerfed, and sometimes he does the summersault instead of the lightspeed dash near a trail of rings. The emerald radar for Knuckles' section is nerfed too.

Why does this game get so much praise? Are the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions more pleasant in terms of gameplay?

So I've been looking at some money to spend.

Current specs:
I5 3570k @ 4.2ghz with some ghetto Corsair H50
8GB Gskill DDR3 @ 800mhz
MSI Z77A-GD65 Gayming
600W Coolermaster PSU (i know i know)
EVGA GTX670 FTW 2GB
Dell ST2410 @ 1920x1080p (1) w/ Viewsonic VX2025wm 1680x1050 as secondary, non gayming

I have the following options:
1) Get a 1440p Monitor, which seems to go for like $300 for the Korean QNIX stuff (adapters maybe required?) or similar, pref one with < 5ms and overclockable refresh rate
2) Replace the GTX670 with a R290 for around ~$100-200 if I sell the 670, get a monitor later

Which one would help me vidya better?
Which would be the better choice?

This shit right here? This has to be one of the worst boss battles in vidya history.

First off shitty controls. There are times where Sonic gets caught in the bottom of the screen and I can't get him back in the middle.

Another problem are your rings slowly depleting, which normally wouldn't be a problem but there's so much shit on the screen that it's hard to see the rings floating around.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted a game with a Youtube lets-player as a DLC character. I only spent 5 dollars and I still feel cheated.

Is this game any better with a controller? Because it controls like a fucking noodle covered in butter and grease with a keyboard.

Even then, this is just inexcusable. NiGHTS is only in because the community REALLY wanted him/her to be in the last game; but no, instead of just making a NiGHTS-colored car with NiGHTS riding it, like every other character, we have this hideous monstrosity. It wouldn't have been so bad if, at LEAST, NiGHTS was wearing a Persona Mask like Reala so she didn't look like a piece of putty stretched around a car, but this is just... freakish. Not to mention that the Nightopian looks even creepier than they do in the original game, not that they were ever really cute to begin with. Also, Reala doesn't have the ability to transform, but I guess I shouldn't expect these people to know anything about the games these characters are from.

And need I even mention the Team Fortress characters? It'd be one thing if they just sounded wrong, but not only is the voice acting terrible, but it varies. Sometimes the pyro sounds like mickey mouse in a mask, and other times he sounds like a normal guy just covering his mouth. The spy switches between a gruff french accent to a higher pitched one. The Heavy just sounds like a guy trying to sound like a retarded russian man.

I probably shouldn't be complaining about the characters since they don't technically affect the gameplay, but they're the reason why I bought the game. If this was just random-people-racing (which it might as well be with Danica fucking Patrick), nobody would buy it.

Surprisingly fun, despite never having played an ARPG like this before. The different ways to customize your character keeps it interesting despite there only being four classes.

>Actually, that’s not quite true. The very worst game in the line-up was Sega’s Sonic Boom, which was so unspeakably awful we couldn’t even force ourselves to play through the whole demo. Sonic: Lost World might have been a disappointment, but at least it seemed to be trying. Sonic Boom is just a hateful bore of a game, that seems to exist only as a showcase for every mistake you could possibly make when creating a 3D action adventure.

>The camera is constantly staring at the floor, or anywhere other than where you’re going, the combat lacks any kind of skill or tactility, and the puzzles and level design are so migraine-inducingly banal it almost seems like some sort of meta criticism of the whole genre. The fact that the new character designs are so ugly, and the graphics look like a first wave Xbox 360 game, are so far down the list of problems we dread to think what else the final game will get wrong.

Hey, /v/. I recently obtained an Xbox 360, and I was wondering what are the must-buy games, both popular and underrated.

Before you ask, yes, I do have a PC. So I'm primarily looking for games that are either console exclusives or have specs that would make my laptop erupt in flames. I already have:

>Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (got it after renting Ground Zeroes, now have to relearn the entire game)
>Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
>The past few Games with Gold games (unfortunately, only a month back or so)

So what are the essential titles for the 360?

I've been alright with him being portrayed as dumber and dumber.

But usually (Post Sonic Heroes) he's a decent, awkward, gullible, hotheaded guy with a bit of an ego 

Now he's just a big dumb jock who parades around and takes every opportunity he gets to try to be the "alpha" of the group

Why are gaming fans so fucking retarded?

You don't see a cinephile declaring lifelong allegiance to a Panasonic DVD player, yet gamers willingly bend over and oil up their unclenched assholes for every corporate advance.
It's like gaming fans traded in their brains for their hobby.

Guess what? These companies don't give a shit about you, to them you're just another money machine.
Defending your precious favorite console on the internet? It's excactly what they want, thanks for the free advertising, moron.
Then when they decide to fuck you over completely it's okay, because you'll do anything for their approval like the bitch you are.

What's the deal anyway? It's a console, a little piece of hardware. Most people can afford several, buying it isn't like joining some magical family.
It's like these people don't understand the simple concept of capitalism.
IT'S THE COMPANIES ROLE TO PLEASE THE CONSUMERS, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
If a company treats you like shit, just stop buying from them, drop your precious loyalty.

There are no other medium with fans as retarded as this, only thing that even comes close are the Apple-drones, but they're STILL not as bad.

Fuck fanboys, and what they have turned gaming into.

The fuck? When did this start happening? I mean, I could sort of understand liking SA1 a bit since you could just stick to the Sonic levels, but SA2 was a pile of shit for the 70% of the game that you aren't playing as Sonic/Shadow.

As far as Assist Trophies go, I can only say this: There will be unlockable ones just like in Brawl. Beyond the regular ATs you've seen to date, there are 15 "special" ones, 5 for Capcom, 5 for SEGA, and 5 for Namco. This wasn't exactly an easy thing to get done, but this is Sakurai's way of including fan favorite characters in Smash Bros. as a nod and apology to those whose wishes may or may not have been fulfilled entirely.

The Assist Trophies are as followed:

Capcom:
Elec Man from Mega Man
Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney 
Ryu from Street Fighter 
Amaterasu from Okami
Firebrand from Ghosts and Goblins

SEGA:
Shadow from the Sonic series
Ulala from Space Channel 5
Vyse from Skies of Arcadia 
Amigo from Samba de Amigo
Beat from Jet Set Radio

Namco:
The Ghosts from Pac-Man
Klonoa from the Klonoa series
Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia
Heihachi Mishima from Tekken
KOS-MOS from Xenosaga

Also, it may interest you to know that Isaac is no longer an Assist Trophy...

Many critics have torn into Sonic Boom saying that it’s just not fun, but Sega says that playing the game for fun in the first place is just counterproductive. Sega community manager Kellie Parker explains how people are supposed to play Sonic Boom.
>“Video games don’t necessarily have to be fun to be good,” wrote Parker on the SEGA of America blog, “I believe most Sonic fans have learned this already which is why the series still thrives today.

Face it, Anon. While Colors was great, it wasn't a 3D Sonic game. 85% was in 2.5D while the other 15% was so linear that it might as well have been 2D. 

If you haven't already given it a shot, I suggest checking Generations out on Steam, if you can. You get way more Sanic on the dollar with all these mods. If you do have it, post your favorite mods!

I've been playing games like Killing Floor, TF2, CoD, Jak and Daxter, Sonic, blibbidy bloobidy blah, for my whole life. I'm an avid gamer, and I'm passionate for games in every form. Sometimes, though, I have a week, or day, or month, where everything I do leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 

Every online game results in landslide failures resulting either from my ineptitude or something completely out of my control. My chest feels achey and my expression becomes a permanent scowl as I fail to get a UAV or capture a single point. Most recently, I've pretty much only been playing because I feel obligated to give a friend a good time, and every match I play leaves me sweating and red-faced in frustration. I know that toxicity is the absolute worst thing in online games, but at this point, raging like a 12-year-old CoD-kid cunt is harder and harder to resist as I bite down on my robe to keep from waking everyone else up around the cul-de-sac.


TL;DR, How do YOU get past a gaming rut? How do you get back in the groove after a day, week, or month of incessant dissatisfaction with your playing? This time around, I've done everything from online games like TF2 and LoL to single-player games that are easy to beat, and I still feel like garbage. The term "it's just a game" doesn't make me any less angry with myself and everyone around me, and I'm running out of things to do before I just resort to staring at the ceiling again.

This year at E3 2023, Nintendo will be unveiling several trailers for upcoming games on their latest console, the Nintendo Fusion Terminal. One of the trailers they plan to show is a trailer for the newest game in the Super Smash Bros. series. Like with the previous games, Sakurai will show off returning characters, as well as newcomers, over the course of the game’s development.

While I don’t have a full batch of all the newcomers, I do have a portion. Some newcomers include:

Toad from the Super Mario series
Impa from Hyrule Warriors 1 and 2
Bandana Dee from Kirby’s Return to Dreamland
Andy from Advance Wars, based on his design from the recent reboot
Bayonetta, based on her design from the upcoming Bayonetta 3
Mach Rider, based on his design from the recent reboot
Inkling from Splatoon
Henry from Codename: S.T.E.A.M.
Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X

Crash Bandicoot also joins as a third-party guest character

Sonic and Pac-Man will be returning. Sakurai and team are debating on two things: Whether or not to bring back Snake and Mega Man, and whether or not to make Ridley and K. Rool playable characters this time around. Lucas still isn’t returning.

Hello /v, I have come across quite bit of information that might spark your interest. I am in no way claiming this to be absolutely true, nor do I expect you to believe what I say. All details have been provided from a credible source. Please understand that I am only the middleman in this process, and in no way am I able to personally verify it. All signs thus far have pointed to this being accurate.

>Chrom is in the game. He is exactly what I'm sure you guys would expect: a blue haired swordsman. His speed is in between Marth and Ike.
>Shulk is in the game as well. I received no further information on him unfortunately.
>Chorus Kids, as they are referred to, have also made the cut. They are rendered in 2D, like Mr. Game & Watch. Like the Ice Climbers, they fight together: however, instead of 2, they are three. They have an "Extremely unique, rhythm-based moveset that is unlike any other character in the game and will take some time to get used to."
>Snake was on the original roster, but was cut because "Sakurai didn't want there to be matches where none of the characters were Nintendo characters." This also means that Sonic, Snake, and Pac-Man are the only third party characters.
>Mach Rider, from the futuristic NES launch title of the same name, is playable, serving as the new "Retro" character. He fights entirely on his motorcycle using a LocoCycle inspired moveset. The bike transforms to hang on to ledges and attack. Apparently, his trophy description gives a nod to the idea that the Mach Rider is possibly a female. "While it may sound strange, Sakurai made it work."
>King K. Rool is playable. He is heavy, but he is agile and has very high jumps. His gimmick involves his crown always having a weak hitbox on it, preventing stepping stool jumps. Kaptain K. Rool and Baron K. Roolenstein are unlockable costumes.

Cont. In next post.

Once was a coal pit, but now it's a water ride,
Makes you wanna sit back, enjoy your life,

But I gotta do it, they always stay out of line,
Sometimes I wanna just chill and land,
But I'm the protector of the Emeralds and gems.
Staying up a duct, I'm in a deep cut,
I'm seeing skulls that burn, they trying to cut me off,
Avoiding my luck, I'm feeling kinda stuck,
I'm in narrow hallways running like it's a ballgame.
Hand track, beat track, all lead to different hallways,
In a maze, and I don't know what to do,
Guaranteed though, Imm'l find the Emeralds,
They don't call me Knuckles for nothing, I can't lose.

Also as we know Pac-Man will have a different stage for each system what do we all think Mega Man's or Sonic's 3DS stage will be (I have a feeling they'll just port Green Hill Zone from Brawl for Sonic)

Guys I found, maybe not directly the cause, but the magnet for autism. Aside for things were people create their own worlds and live out their fantasies (minecraft, roleplayers, fanfiction writers) things are like other things but somehow aren't really draw in autists. I don't really know the reason for that, but look at this:
Sonic: Sonic is like Mario, but not really and his fans are really autistic
My little Pony: It's a show for little girls, but not really and their fans are really autistic
Kingdom Hearts: It's like Final Fantasy, but not really and it's fans are really autistic
Metroid (Prime): It's like a first person shooter, but not really and it's fans are really autistic

Now hear me out: Splatoon is like a third person shooter, but not really. You know what this means. The fanbase is going to be really autistic. Mark my words.

I hear a lot of hate for the later character additions to the Sonic cast. But come on, there are some legitimately good characters that get lumped into that category just by proxy. 
>Rouge
>E-102 Gamma
>Shadow
>Chaotix characters
To name a few. Sure, I admit that modern Sonic games have crammed too many characters into one game. But rectifying that doesn't mean getting rid of those characters for good. They should be used sparingly and where it fits. 

Also, Sonic Adventure 1, 2 and Sonic Heroes are good 3D Sonic games. Don't let the bad parts of the franchise and its fanbase blind you to the good parts.

The ONE franchise that is absolutely PERFECT for this sort of episodic format; the ONE that would cater so hard to a western audience; the ONE that could provide a unique yet not negative experience by adding extra characters etc was severely looked over

Think about it, the first three fights in a circuit all go by in one or two episodes, and then the last one has a lot of prep episodes to make sure Mac is ready, all the while Doc is giving his best advice, with filler episodes being Doc's antics or tidbits about his boxing past.

Smash Bros stage thread. More specifically returning classic stages.

We already two returning stages (one for each system) and it's a safe guess (not a confirmation) that if I stage appears on one version it won't appear on the other.

That in mind what classics would you choose to come back and for what system.

To make this fair I say you can have 6 choices for the 3DS version (same as Brawl) and 8 choices for the Wii U version.


My choices are as follows
>3DS Classics
Jungle Japes (Melee (Confirmed))
Princess Peach's Castle (Melee)
Flat Zone 1 (Melee)
Green Hill Zone (Brawl)doubles as Sonic's 3DS stage too))
Pokemon Stadium 2 (Brawl)
Wario Ware Inc (Brawl)

>Wii U Classics
Halberd (Brawl (Confirmed))
Fountain Of Dreams (Melee)
Pirate Ship (Brawl)
Fourside (Melee)
Great Bay (Melee)
Sector Z (64)
Mushroom Kingdom (Melee)
Planet Zebes (64)

So for Sonic's 23rd birthday I decided to marathon all of the Sonic games I owned that I hadn't yet beaten. Since I played most of them when I got them and was too young to know shit about video games, that meant nearly all of them were unbeaten.

However, in doing so I have realized that nearly all of them are utter shit. Of the 23 I've played through so far, only 4 of them were great, 6 were pretty good, and the rest ranged from shit to bigger shit.

What do I do with all of these shitty Sonic games, /v/? Games like Sonic Heroes, Sonic Rush, the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Battle do not deserve to be in my collection, nor do I want to sell them and subject others to their shittiness.

Also ITT Sonic.

Just like Brawl and Melee Smash 4 is having returning stages. Updated past stages to better fit the new game.

Slight twist this time though is that there will be some for the 3DS and some for the Wii U and chances are that the stages that appear in one will appear in the other. 

So I ask /v/ what classic stages they would like to see return and for which version. Give reasons or not up to you.

To make it more interesting let's say the 3DS version is limited to 6 classic stages (like Brawl) and the Wii U version gets 8.

3DS Version
Jungle Japes (Melee (Confirmed))
Princess Peach's Castle (Melee)
Flat Zone (Melee)
Green Hill Zone (Brawl(also counts as Sonic's only 3DS stage))
Pokemon Stadium 2 (Brawl)
Wario Ware Inc (Brawl)


Wii U Version
Halberd (Brawl (Confirmed))
Fountain Of Dreams (Melee)
Pirate Ship (Brawl)
Fourside (Melee)
Great Bay (Melee)
Sector Z (64)
Luigi's Mansion (Brawl)
Planet Zebes (64)

Better post the token insider info first...

>Sonic Team working on 25th Anniversary game, internal title is just "Sega Sonic 25", but this has recently been changed to "Digital Sonic 25"
>Game is a "Celebration of Sega as a whole", which is basically Sonic Generations 2 without the boost stuff and has Sonic going through worlds from Segas past a bit like SASRT
>There's a couple of side projects
>3/4s of the Lost World team is working on Digital Sonic 25, but the team itself is much larger, taking notes from lots of figureheads from Segas past, there's a number of others working on 2 other projects
>"Sonic Runners" is a mobile game with a bit of pay2win in there, I haven't worked on it personally, but from what I've heard they're going for addictive fast paced platforming
>There's an exclusive Wii U title that's currently on hold as Sega have shifted the team to working on Digital Sonic 25 as they want it finished by this year to be polished for the anniversary
>The exclusive Wii U title is just an extended port of Generations and Colors, billed as "Sonic Colors Generation", with a bunch of extra missions and stuff. The core game is for the most part the same, warts and all

Movie reviews are easy because all you need is a functioning pair of eyeballs and your opinion. However, to be video game reviewer you have to have decent eye hand coordination, reflexes, etc, etc. What should ideally be the qualification of the reviewer?

For example not everyone likes platformer. A reviewer who likes platformer in general would give platformer game an elevated score compared to other genre. Then how about specific platformer, say the super fast ones like Sonic or the kind where you shoot stuff like Megaman. Say a new Sonic game comes out does a "good" game reviewer needs to review it relative to (1) all games overall, e.g. for normalfags or (2) all platformers in general, e.g. people who like platformer, or (3) just compared to previous Sonic games?

See /v/, even without the industry bribes there is no such thing as "objective" review. Just because you disagree with the scores doesn't mean that the review is bad, most review are geared towards normalfags so it makes sense that the reviewer is also normalfag

If he has qualities befitting of a classic video game character then by all means i'll be glad for him to be in Smash 4, but atm he just seems like a generic JRPG protag (which isn't always a bad thing but shouldn't be the Smash Bros standard) that Xenoblade fans want in for personal reasons

Get a copy of old windows from the windows 7 repository. There are also quality Linux variants to choose from. Search for a way to play Windows games on them. Follow the instructions.

Play your PC games on the TV you were going to play your console games on. I use my 50" flatscreen; works like a charm.

You said it, not me. What were you planning to do with that PS4?
If you insist on buying a monitor, note that a great quality 1080p monitor with a long lifespan can be had for less than the equivalent home television. Try the asusVX229H for $150. Speakers are dirt cheap: I'd grab a pair of low cost logitechs. S120 speakers go for $5 online. 

>Buying a keyboard and mouse from Goodwill?
Duh. They're chock full of keyboards and mice people never even used. Check every key, click, and scroll wheel for crispness; if even one key is sticky/broken, toss it. I GUARANTEE you'll find perfectly working pieces of equipment for nearly nothing. This has held true for every Goodwill I've ever poked around in, and that's a lot of Goodwills. Is the mouse/keyboard messed up in a way you couldn't see in the store? Take it back; they'll let you swap it out, for free, as many times as you like, until you find one that's perfect. 

>Why isn't there a disc drive?
It's useless. You don't buy PC games on discs like console games anymore. If you insist on having one, they are extremely cheap online. ~$10

>Late in 2013, Hunnid-P, the vocal artist who provided his lyrics to the Knuckles songs in Sonic Adventure 2, vanished from social media. His last recorded post was on his Google+ page on December 30th. As we are now learning, Hunnid-P was arrested on felony weapon possession in January of this year.

>The news flew under the radar, in part, because he was charged as Armoogam Emmanuel – Hunnid-P’s real name. Googling that name not only brings up some of Hunnid-P’s music, but a litany of crime database websites revealing basic information about his conviction.

>As near as I can tell, he currently does not have a set release date. His bail status is set as “remanded”, suggesting he may have filed for an appeal. Looking through others charged with criminal possession of a firearm, most are out in around six months, though as is the case with the judicial system, it can vary from person to person.

>Sonic fans have already taken to social media with the hashtag #FREEHUNNIDP in a display of their support.

>The stories in the comic will be stand alone adventures, separate from the cartoon and video games presumably. Despite this, they will be building up to some awesome stuff happening later on.

>Ian Flynn will be handling writing, as he does for Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Universe, while the art will be done by veteran artist Evan Stanley.

>The first arc will focus on setting the tone for the series and the character relationships between the main cast…and a recurring killer robot.

>It’s too early to comment on Metal Sonic appearing, and others are up to SEGA, but we’ve been promised plenty of surprises down the line for developing the game characters and mythology.

>The series is a more casual read which is more focused on comedy and adventure than the main comic’s focus on action-adventure drama. Plenty of pick-up value.

>Sonic and Tails are pretty unchanged from their main series selves bar their designs, Knuckles is goofier but still has the friendly rivalry that has defined the dynamic between him and Sonic, Amy is the sensible one of the group. at least for the most part.

>Stick’s personality makes a great addition to the existing cast, according to Kaminski.

>There’s plenty of Eggman to look forward to.

>Issue 1 will come with four variants that are styled quite similarly to how the Countdown to Chaos main covers were done!

Okay, I'm stuck baby sitting my 12 year old cousin for a few days, and he likes alot of the older games I have via emulation (Sonic the hedgehog, streets of rage, mario, etc). He likes some newer stuff like scott pilgrim, sonic adventure 2 battle and heroes, bastion, etc. 

So I need some games that are good for his age range, nothing too complex, but fun 2 player or casual single player platformers, beat em ups, and stuff. What does /v/ play with younger family members?

title: Sonic & All-Stars Racing "3" Info
comment:
Okay, so I'm here today to break some exciting news: Sumo Digital is currently hard at work on the next Sonic & All-Stars Racing game. It's gonna be announced by the end of the year, and come out around next holiday season for all the consoles: PS3, PS4, 360, Xbox One, and the Wii U. No portable versions this time. PS4 and Xbox One will come a bit later with updated graphics, while the Wii U version will have its own unique modes. Here's what I can detail at the moment.

So, in the first game you raced, in the second you transformed, now in this one you'll combine...basically we're gonna outdo Mario Kart Double Dash. Each character has their own "mini-car", and you choose two characters, who then combine their mini-cars into one big car. This determines the stats. You can switch between drivers on the fly, as each part has its own unique handling and speed, each driver can hold an item, as well as use their own unique All-Star Move. There's tons of combinations to make! 

But the combination doesn't stop at the cars, as this time around the courses mash together two SEGA worlds, sometimes complete opposites of one another, opening up some opportunities for some pretty wild course designs. I can't share all of them with you at this moment, but for example, have you ever wondered how Chemical Plant Zone would look if zombies from House of the Dead (or Curien Mansion, as we are obligated to call it) took it over? What about if the Valuan Empire invaded Nightopia? And how weird would it be if you mixed the jamming beats of Samba de Amigo with the high-tech hip-hop of Space Channel 5? Well, these, and more questions, will be answered soon.

>couldn't finish zelda OoT because I would get scared at night and in any dungeon

Guys, I was wrong. I had alot of issues with Smash after E3 that resulted in me cancelling my pre-order. But I've seen the light, and I want to address the arguments I had against it.

>this is a Nintendo Crossover, Pac-Man doesn't fit
The only way this argument holds any water is if you hold the stance that third party reps are bad for the series, as I could argue that Pac-Man has more claim to a spot than MegaMan and almost as much as Sonic. While I personally am not a fan of it as it means less first party characters who by default deserve it more, no crossover is going to please everyone, and you're really only depriving by dropping it over a few odd roster decisions.

>custom movesets is always shit when it comes to fighters
While this is definitely the rule, there are a couple exceptions to this. Chaos Code on PSN is the first that comes to mind, as it actually had in terms of customizing moves compared to smash (unless you count miis), and even let choose whether you dashed like SF or ran like KoF. It can be done right, and even if Sakurai fucks it up (which is very likely since this guy has no clue when it comes to balancing), the custom movesets aren't available in regular online.

>amiibo is garbage
Yes it is. I totally agree that paying $10 for what essentially amounts to better AI is total dicks. However, the aren't available online either, and they will most likely bomb anyway. There isn't a clean argument for it, but at least it's not intrusive.

>no WiiU / 3DS crossplay
Nintendo had a choice to attempt this or to make the 3DS version its own thing. While I wanted the former, Nintendo does not have a good online track record by any means, and I'd rather they stick to what they're good at rather than fuck up an entire mode of play.

Is Sakurai still a piece of shit who shits on anyone who makes some retard tier choices and doesn't play the way he wants them to? Absolutely. Am I going to let him deprive me of fun? No fucking chance.

>None of Sonic's friend's playable for several games
>They're playable again
>The game looks like utter shit

Why can't we have a game with multiple characters that isn't shit? Multiple characters are fine as long as they all have momentum-based platforming for their gameplay.

That said, adding slightly bigger differences than what we saw between S3&K's characters would be a good idea. Something beyond simply giving Tails the ability to fly, Knuckles able to punch through walls etc.

The key is the S-rank system. Give each character a different criteria for S-ranks

>Sonic: Speed. His S-rank is based purely on time.

>Knuckles: Combat. He needs to earn points by smashing badniks.

>Blaze: Style. Earns points by performing pyrotechnic tricks like Sonic Rush.

>Tails: Rings. His S rank is based on how many rings he can collect. Have a lot of them airbourne to make the best use of his abilities. 

>Metal Sonic: Evasion. Isn't capable of collecting rings. Instead has a damage bar. You need to get to the end of the stage without taking hits.

>Shadow: Hybrid of speed/combat?

>Eggman: Flies about in his egg machine. Has to capture animals to turn into badniks

>Rainbow Curse isn’t as extreme a deviation from the Kirby norm as it first appears, but the three demo levels we played were perfectly entertaining, and the unusual mechanics actually forced us to concentrate on what we were doing – instead of the usual rock bottom difficultly level of Kirby games, which rarely demand much more from the player than staying awake.

>The levels are also impressively large, and relatively non-linear. The very vertical nature of the opening level reminded us of nothing less than the original Sonic The Hedgehog, as we picked our own route through the level and knew there were many other paths that we might have taken – and secrets we had almost certainly missed.

>We still doubt Rainbow Curse will set anyone’s world on fire when it’s released next year, but it’s a solid game and unlike most other Kirby titles one we’re actively looking forwards to.

This is the first kart racer I've enjoyed as much or more than Mario Kart, but I'm having some serious issues with S-Class World Tour events.
I've been shuffling out characters as I max them and trying to get a feel for the value of each stat in regular races and it's a bit difficult for me to put on a finger down on how important each one is.
In Mario Kart I always focused on acceleration first, followed by speed and handling but that doesn't seem to work as well here.

I know most of you like to talk smack about our boy, but with a few changes Roy would be a great returning vet for Smash 4.

-Change his animations around so they're not Marth's
-Make his A moves animate differently, and have several of them launch short-range fireballs and create fire slashes like in his FE game
-Change his sourspot so it's not as horrible, and adjust the sweetspot to be a little larger
-Keep his physics mostly the same, but make his air speed faster
-Keep Flare Blade and Counter as is
-Change Side B so that he sends out a crescent of fire that burns through opponents until it fizzles out
-Change his Up B into a spinning attack similar to Sonic's in "Black Knight" with a fire aura
-His Final Smash can be creating three large fire waves at different heights that burn and push opponents off the stage

Boom, no more clone. And his orange fire can nicely contrast Ike's blue fire.

Lets play a game /v/ 

The sonic series has decided to cut out all unnecessary characters, but to appease both of its fanbases, they've decided to stick with only six characters. 

Sonic and Robotnik are the only characters in currently, You must add five others to stay. They can be from any medium, Game, Comic or TV series

Every other character not chosen will be wiped from existence and the current game cannon will change to reflect this. 

Robotnik will not be affected, He will be excluded from this list.

Ok guys, i need your help.

Do i buy a used Wii, or a 2DS? i can only get one.

On the side of the Wii, its only 80$ plus i can get: Super Smash, Sonic Colors and Mario Galaxy 2, also i want to try out Metroid Other M and Skyward Sword since ive heard mixed things about both. I've had a Wii before, i just was dumb enough to sell it the first time.
The downside of this is that im getting a Wii U when the new smash comes out, which will make the purchase of a wii pointless in a few months, but im still eager to revisit the wii and play the games i missed out on.

And for the 2DS:
-Pokemon
-Zelda
-Mario 3D land
- fire emblem
also somewhat portable system is nice. I know that the 2DS is made for kids but its cheaper and i kinda want to play these games. Downside of this is, its 130$ and i would have to wait till buying the Wii U to play the Wii games

What do /v/?

The game could be great or shit doesn't really matter. Just state the game and why you love the intro so much.

For me it's the opening to Pic related. The CG is great and it kicks the game off with a bang. Was also the first thing that made me truly want to see a Sonic movie (shame we're getting a live action one (and will have to suffer the horror's of another realistic looking Eggman).

Coming from someone who's never played any Sonic games beforehand I found this game to be fairly enjoyable when it comes to going fast and fighting bosses. There isn't really anything that I've found cheap or unfair so far the only gripe I have with this game are how long the cutscences are and how hit or miss they are.

When has it ever been so diverse in its cast? When has the game has been so interesting? All because some shitlord tourney fag said that it's Brawl 2 point fucking 0 I doesn't make it as such! It really boils me in anger that you pieces of shit would even say as such. 

Did you even see that awesome Sonic destroy three people at once in the Prisim tower? Or what about that awesome Shiek vs Bowser in Tortimer Island that was filled with such amazing strategy even Ghandi him mother fucking self would be proud?

Even hardcore Sonic fans can see Sonic Boom for the festering pile of shit that it is.

How worried should SEGA be right now? Of course this isn't the first bad Sonic game they've released, but it is the first one with zero hype for it. Even Sonic 06 had people saying "well it MIGHT turn out OK."

"I need a strategy."
"Sonic just likes getting in fights for kicks."
" We are NOT friends."
To be fair, he was never really like this in the games, besides Sonic Battle. In the SA games, he was just really mellow. But damn, if it wasn't a great portrayal.
But now look at him in Sonic Boom

After Titanfall, it's safe to say these guys suck shit at games and have no place reviewing them.

They're right on the money about Sonic being a marketing gimmick, but the rest of their argument hinges on ignoring or being oblivious to crucial game mechanics (spin dash), falling for Sega's dumbass marketing, and being really fucking bad at platformers from the '90s.

Disappointing, I expect better from RLM. At least they like Mega Man 9 and 10.

So, /v/, for fun I've been doing a what-if "Sega Smash Brothers". I call it SEGA The Fighters. 

Basically just making a roster, and designing move-sets for the characters. I had some rules:

* Hypothetically, released around the same time as Smash 64. Was thinking it would've been an arcade game with the original 8, and ported to the Dreamcast early on with more characters. So all the characters I chose for the first existed around 99...except Amigo, but his game was coming out, so it was a "Roy" Situation where he's included to advertise his game.

* Every franchise is limited to one character slot, except Sonic. There's no franchise as big as Sonic, really, so I imagine this would likely be the case unlike in Smash when you have quite a few franchises competing with Mario.

* I decided every character would only have a Neutral, Up, and Down Special. No Side Special. Most characters worked really well with just three specials, and a lot of them didn't have a lot of moves in their original game. Plus it made me think of the three-button layout of the Genesis.

Here's the original 12 I decided upon. That's Red from Gunstar Heroes, btw. What ya think?

Segata Sanshiro is the announcer. 

Also Medusa from Space Harrier 2 would be the "Master Hand", with Metal Sonic as the penultimate Boss.

Can we all agree that, out of ALL the "coin systems" in games, that Sonic the Hedgehog's rings are the worst? 

There's no reason to ever, EVER have more than one. They use it as a life-preserver of sorts, in that the collectible rings allow you to get hit one more time, and you can then collect leftover rings afterwards. That's their only purpose. 

Meanwhile, Mario uses Mushrooms and various flowers/suits as "life-preservers". While Sonic urges you to collect tons of rings, Mario doesn't urge you to collect Mushrooms, but instead actual coins that have no other use except for collecting, which makes it okay. Not only do the Mushrooms and flowers serve as your "life-preserver", they also give you power-ups that make gameplay easier, or in some cases, possible. Mario games don't line up Mushrooms 5 at a time as collectibles, like Sonic does with its "life preservers" 

Prove me wrong, /v/. Rings are fundamentally flawed. 

tl;dr: there's no point in collecting more than one ring, even though the game consistently implies that you should

Is Pikmin 3 playable and enjoyable without a wiimote/nunchucks/etc.? I'd prefer to use Gamepad or Pro Controller

Everyone says that Kingdom Hearts, Sonic, and Pokemon attract a lot of autists.

Yet the only people I know IRL who like those games are the polar opposite of autists. Every kingdom hearts fan I've ever known has been a buff, handsome, friendly guy who lifts and gets laid. Not even joking.

I guess this is because normal gags and autists have something in common: they tend to only like the most well-known stuff. Normal tags because that's all they know, autists because they tend to be close-minded and can't relate to things that aren't easy to relate to.

The only people I know who like the lesser-known stuff are people in-between autist and normalfag. People who are TRULY normal. (Normalfags are not "normal", trust me.) The quiet guy, the average-looking girl, the Everyman. THOSE are the people who are more likely to like the obscure stuff.

Do you agree?

SfW/3 :

53C
33S
20U ( L,C,I,M,S,M,P)
5N <-- (M,D,M,Z,X)
3V tbr (W,I,L)

53 Characters

33 Starters 

20 Unlockable (Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ike, Megaman, Sonic, Marth, Pac-Man)

5 Newcomers (Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Zelda, Xenoblade) [One of these Ms could easily be Mach Rider or Metroid, but I think it's more likely Mario and Metroid]

3 Veterans to be revealed (Wario, Ice Climbers, Lucas) 

So this means the starting roster is (in no particular order):

1. Pit
2. Bowser
3. Pikachu
4. Fox
5. Kirby
6. Samus
7. Link
8. Donkey Kong
9. Mario
10. Wii Fit Trainer
11. Villager
12. Pikmin & Olimar
13. Peach
14. Toon Link
15. Rosalina & Luma
16. Zelda
17. King Dedede
18. Lucario
19. Little Mac
20. Diddy Kong
21. Zero Suit Samus
22. Sheik
23. Yoshi
24. Charizard
25. Greninja
26. Mii Fighters
27. Palutena
28. Lucina
29. Robin
30. Wario?
31. Ice Climbers?
32. Lucas?
33. One of the newcomers/MetaKnight

For secret characters

1. Captain Falcon
2. Pac-Man
3. Ike
4. Marth
5. Sonic
6. Luigi
7. Megaman
8. Mario Newcomer? (Bowser Jr./Paper Mario)
9. Donkey Kong Newcomer? (Dixie/K. Rool)
10. Metroid Newcomer? (Ridley)
11. Zelda Newcomer? (Giraham?)
12. Xenoblade Newcomer (Shulk?)/MetaKnight?
13. Jigglypuff?
14. Falco?
15. Ganondorf?
16. Ness?
17. Game & Watch?
18. Ness? 
19. R.O.B.?
20. Wolf/Snake/Mewtwo?

I think it would be weird for a starting roster character to not be shown before the game comes out, so I'm going with a newcomer being shown before the game comes out to take that last spot and Meta Knight being an unlockable character this time around.

I'm planning to make an MMO/video game soon.

I'm a Computer Science major with a lot of programming experience, 35 years old.

I have a lot of money to fund it from my previous business.

MY IDEA: Make an MMO similar to Runescape/Worlds/AlteredBeast/Actraiser2 and maybe sonic the hedgehog (in terms of labrynth levels.)
 
I want to make something that people can immerse themselves in, like worlds.com in it's heyday in the late 90's. Somewhat VR. Somewhat platform. Somewhat N64. Somewhat SNES. Somewhat Genesis. Somewhat early 00's/late 90's mmo. 

I would like to use a lot of occult symbolism/chrstianity/buddhism/religion combined with vaporwave and new age ideals. 

In the game it should be like a parallel of real life, except you are a god. You can fight people.

You can also socialise i.e. secondlife. You could also pay for membership and get offered premium items, something like 5 - 20 dollars/month. 

I would also like people to be able to explore user-generated worlds. I want it to be a "classic" game with lots of replay value.

Anyone with me? e-mail if you are interested, richardsmith98@gmail.com

Since Aaron Webber left Sega and is good friend of mine, he filled me in with the details of what Sega will do in the future:

>PSO2 will come out in 2015 on Steam, starting with Episode 3 and handles partly by Relic.
>Depending on the success of PSO on Steam, they will do similar F2P games on Steam with ports of their Arcade games such Sengoku Taisen (Card RTS game), Code of Joker (Digital Card Battle game), Wonderland Wars (MOBA game) and Border Break (3rd person shooter online game)
>There is a 50% chance that Sega will try with another Yakuza game
>There are plans for a Western Hatsune Miku with a english voice and her alternative look http://www.bestservice.de/img_share/image/Products/Miku/HATSUNE_MIKU_V3_ENGLISH_whi.jpg
>Hero Bank will come to the West with the Anime on Kind TV and the 3DS game, a similar focuse to Dinosaur King back then
>The next F2P mobile game after Crazy Taxi City Rush from Hardlight will be a Jet Set Radio. It will have social features for gangs (like the GGs) and use the touch for graffiti.
>In 2015, with the movie and next generation game, the focus will be on Sonic alone, unlik Sonic Boom. The PS4/Xbone game and the Hollywood movie is supposed to show coolness and the scale in which Sonic can run around in.

Really, really amazing game. I actually think the controls are really fun, but they made my hand tired, so I had to stop every once in a while.

My only complaints are that there wasn't more times where I got to party up with Magnus, and there should have been more grind rail sections where you hop between the rails like in a Sonic game. There were only 1 or 2 sections that let you do that with the puzzles to keep the grind rail going, and they were fun.

Still an awesome game, probably the best I've played on the 3DS. Kid Icarus thread

Are you fuckers honestly going to look me in the monitor and tell me this is a bad game? This shit is crazy fun. Why can't more 3D Sonic be like this? Sure it needs a little polish here and there, but that's really it. He isn't "too slow" by any means and the controls didn't really take more than 5 minutes to get down to muscle memory.

Why, exactly, is this a bad game? Because Sonic's on the cover instead of Mario?

Knuckles is overly chummy and tries to push the ideals of "being a good partner" and "friendship" onto Sonic, who is a loner by nature in this adaptation.

I can't believe how awful this looks. I knew it was going to be bad, but Jesus fucking Christ... where to even begin?
>abundant outdated 200x gameplay mechanics
>smash crates to get collectibles
>collect rings to gain health
>mandatory tutorial intro
>PRESS Y TO ATTACK
>enter area and cutscene ensues in which an enemy flips a switch and a gate comes up to lock you in, and that means it's battle time (cliche as fuck)
>that cringeworthy dialog
>that shit-tier voice acting
>them unfunny jokes
>them mediocre graphics
>that crappy virtually nonexistant music
>it's not fast enough
>obviously dumbed-down-as-fuck, made-for-children game
>another impending trainwreck of a sanic game
Am i forgetting anything?
Probably.
Oh yeah... (cont)

The best boss(es) in Sonic's history.

This motherfucker right here took me and my two best friends two goddamned days to beat, and that was when we actually got to him (fuck you Silver Sonic). This was back in 1993 and we were young and dumb. Ever since then he's been one of my favorite bosses in Sonic.

Close runner-ups are Egg Viper and Big Arm.

Of all the video game franchises ever created, why it has to be Sonic to attract the most autists? What's so special about him for spergs to fap to him and create a metric fuckton of recolors and OCs of him?

Hello. I'm an employee at Nintendo of America. I can't say much more about my specific position. But I can tell you this.

There will be a Super Smash Bros. Direct later this month. It will be approximately 45 minutes long, the first 25 of which will be a huge exposition on the 3DS version, and the latter 20 minutes will largely be information about/hinting at things for the Wii U version. Here's as much info as I can recall.
1. The Direct is essentially made so that all of the Starting characters will be known before launch. Because of this, Wario, Ice Climbers, Falco, and Ness are all revealed to be returning. Wario is shown in a trailer at the beginning, which also introduces a newcomer: the Chorus Kids from Rhythm Heaven. Not all of the confirmed characters will be playable from the start, but I can't quite recall which characters will be unlockable. I do know he mentioned Sonic, Luigi, and Lucina. Snake is shown at the very end of the Direct in his own trailer.
2. Classic mode has gotten revamped and now has path selection, a more elaborate difficulty selection based on Kid Icarus Uprising, and it's generally a lot more elaborate. 
3. There was a little montage of Boss Characters on both versions. Yellow Devil is one of them, as is Petey Piranha (who appears to be fighting in the same stadium from Brawl, but is now without cages), Dark Pit on Palutena's Temple, and King K. Rool on a new Gangplank Galleon stage. Ridley is mysteriously absent as ever.
3. There's a bunch of minigames which are based on classic Nintendo games, only on the 3DS version. Balloon Fight is a mode where four Villagers with infinite Up B fight on the Balloon Fight stage. There's also a Punch-Out mode where a single player uses Wire Frame Little Mac to take down various foes from a perspective behind Mac in the Boxing Ring. I also noticed an Urban Champion mode, a Mario Bros. mode, an Ice Climber mode, and even a Pac-Man mode.
More to come.

Fuck roster, it's time for a Smash stage thread?

Why has there never been a SMB3 stage in Smash but there has been for almost every other mainline Mario? I find that odd. But fuck it anyway, because even if I was to say there should be an airship stage, what we really need is some sort of Bowser's Castle stage.

That, and since Sonic is returning, I'd like a stage based on one of the many interesting locales of the series and not more checkerboard grass-and-hills bullshit.

Warning:

Some leaks have been flying around with variable amounts of correct information. This does not make them false. During development some characters have been experimented on heavily and some have been decided to not fit the gameplay for a number of reasons. In those stages of testing, those characters were dropped. A Chrom character was planned but we couldnt make him work in a way that is unique in comparison to the other Fire Emblem Lords.

Notes:

Dixie plays similar to Diddy but has better Horizontal recovery and aerial game.
K Rool uses a lot of his gadgets. His B charge is a cannon.
Old Ganondorfs moves has been given to Black Shadow. New Ganondorf specializes more in Black Magic but still retains physical smashes. Black Shadow is heavier.
Mewtwo is back with very little changes. His Final Smash is his Mega Form.
Ridley is slightly taller than Bowser. His gameplay is very unique in that the longer hes grounded, the less affective his moves are. His aerials are powerful.
All Metal Gear content has been dropped. Snake, Gray fox and other related trophies are gone. However Snake lives on in the form of Jeff.

Also, there will be varying Final Smashes for the 3DS and Wii U versions. Mewtwo Y is in 3DS, Mewtwo X is in Wii U. Ganons "boar" form will be in 3DS while in the Wii U version, he will fire projectiles similar to Ocarina of Time.

Enjoy /v/!
