Video Game Chat / Re: Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U and 3DS

If you shave two pixels off each side of the portraits, you can fit everyone in one screen on the 3DS, with room left over for two big Random buttons that I didn't feel like drawing (the one on the left would work like the Melee random where it picks one and you see who it picks, and the other one would work like the Brawl/4 button where you don't know who you're gonna get until the fight starts). Or some more characters.
(Ness and Lucas are high-fiving now; that's adorable.)
I also made this one while I was at it, and forgot to leave room for a random button. Maybe it's on the bottom screen.

Mario Chat / Koopaling name origins confirmed

Quote from: Dayvv Brooks, Nintendo of America product analyst
“Music has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been a DJ for years and have been a music collector for even longer. When I first saw the group of seven Koopalings, music was on my mind.
The hairstyle on one of them reminded me of Ludwig von Beethoven for some reason and Ludwig von Koopa was born. Next was the one with the glasses—that has to be Roy Koopa in homage to Roy Orbison, who almost always wore glasses. Then Wendy O. Koopa (Wendy O. Williams) [and] Iggy Koopa (Iggy Pop). One looked like a loudmouth, so he was Morton Koopa Jr. from [the] loud-mouthed talk show host Morton Downey Jr. And then there was Larry. There’s no real-world equivalent—he’s not Larry Mullen Jr. from U2 or Larry King—he just looked like a Larry.
That brings us to Lemmy. In addition to being a great name, it’s perfect for a video game character. This Koopaling struck me as being the kind of character who would do his own thing, no matter what anyone else thought. I think it was those crazy eyes. Lemmy Koopa was in the crew.”

Mario Chat / Re: Creeping Graphical Sameyness

I do think there's a certain charm to the crappy early 3D graphics. It's hard to tell sometimes how much of the creeping sameyness is due to better graphic hardware -- they have enough polygons now that they don't have to decide which features of the characters to represent and which ones to leave out or make less detailed, which kind of had the effect of different art styles even if they weren't intentionally doing different art styles.

It annoys me that Fire Emblem characters going to be in four different places on the character select screen -- three in the main Fire Emblem section, one in the clone strip, one near the beginning of the DLC strip, and one near the end of the DLC strip. I'd pay an extra $0.25 for Bayonetta if buying her also bought a reorganized character select screen.

But does that mean we're not getting a video presentation of the ballot winners? Cloud's probably gonna be up for download right after the Direct, since he was pretty much done in the last video, but are the others just gonna appear on the eShop in the spring with no previews?

Mario Chat / Re: The Silly Mario Fan Theories Thread
« on: December 13, 2015, 06:31:31 PM »
I always figured that the reason for the Geno cameo and the music (including the battle themes being almost identical structurally) was just that the first games in the other RPG serieses drew more on SMRPG because that was all they had to go on, and then branched out into their own things from there, kinda like how Sonic Advance 1 is basically Sonic 4, but Sonic Advance 3 is very much a Sonic Advance 3. But this makes a lot of sense. Superstar Saga was basically a spiritual successor to Tomato Adventure, which, from what I can tell, had multiple party members but only had two in battle at a time, so it would make sense if SSS originally had more party members, and Luigi ended up crowding the others out.
Which reminds me, why the hell has there never been a fan translation of Tomato Adventure? That game looks great.

The "final" thing seems weird. The ballot only closed two months ago, and even though the ballot was more of a suggestion box and didn't really need to be tallied up, it still doesn't seem like they could have gotten development on ballot character(s) far enough by now.
