Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

[Radical Bones]

I officially have a full time job. I have a full time temp role, but after a month in the role, I have a full time, proper adult human job.

H'yes.

Congrats m80

So, hi new thread! Stuff I couldn't answer in the last one because closed:

- I didn't help with Smash Arcade, neither do I know who did it.
- Why don't even show that bad Popo render the faker probably made? Ugh.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I said that this is related to it. Push was actually the very person who messaged me with that Nintendo Everything link when I woke up because he spotted it.

It could be a total coincidence, but it does line up with what we were told (sorry for being vague).

Well, then. Intriguing.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

So the leak gets stronger.Welp 60 days to go i suppose

 

[Icedragonadam]

or 15 if the new "47 day rule" is real.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

idk i feel that's more of a concidence than evidence if anything.If SK is a ballot character i say at most mid to late october but i would love to wrong

 

[Tama]

Again, this could just be a coincidence. It's just some interesting circumstantial evidence that supports the story behind the rumour.

It's interesting though. Now that we know this thing about companies like Amazon selling more DLC is true, I would bet we're going to see some slip-ups on that front. It could be where your next Smash DLC "leak" comes from.

On the flip side, bad 4chan leaks have a new avenue of bull **** to pursue lol.

@ Tama : A question;

Is the source that gave you the information on Shovel Knight the same one that said that Amazon would start selling DLC? Cause that's the impression I'm getting from this event.

 

[Radical Bones]

Did Smashboards change the font or am I going crazy here?

That would be getting into the specifics of the source, so I can't answer that.

I understand. Thank you for answering me, none the less.

 

[Chrono.]

Get hype, Ace Attorney 6 announced.

It'll be playable at TGS and it'll have AA5's director and producer. No Takumi ;;

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Is there any other potential circumstantial evidence that's not public information yet that might further back up the rumor or is this just pretty much it?

 

[GamerGuy09]

I want to get off Mr. Tamaki's wild ride. Please send help. The ride never ends.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I just realized around the time of Tokyo Game Show would follow that whole ''It's been about 47 days" theory.

 

[Tama]

Interesting non-denial responses from Yacht Club:

And via iDigitalTimes... "No, we don't have anything to say about that"

[Chrono.]

Revealing Shovel Knight at TGS would be hilarious for a lot reasons.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Theory Time:

During TGS, Nintendo will announce Shovel Knight for Smash Bros.

However at the same time they will also enveil that Shovel Knight will be coming out in Japan that very same day or the day after.

Mark my words.

Why do you do dis to me? Why yacht club why?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Revealing Shovel Knight at TGS would be hilarious for a lot reasons.

If he's with other people, it wouldn't be so bad, but if it's just him, you'd just have a bunch of confused Japanese fellas and ladies heads spinning into a whole other dimension of confusion.

 

[gameonion]

Me when we get K. Rool this month.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Easy roundabout way to say "we cannot say a thing" by Yacht Club Games. Can't blame 'em. NDA and all.

 

[AncientTobacco]

Yacht Club has no reason to deconfirm the rumors, they're just giving Shovel Knight more publicity.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Yacht Club has no reason to deconfirm the rumors, they're just giving Shovel Knight more publicity.

It has DLC coming out and an amiibo.

That's getting far more publicity than the rumor.

The rumor hasn't really left the Smash fanbase much at all.

Yeah. It is odd that they don't just shoot it down and say "yeah, it could happen because the ballot is still going, but that rumour is false". I don't know if it's in their best interests to let that hang there.

 

[Naoshi]

Well, think of it this way. If you were to ask about a rumor about your game and it's false and you confirm it's false... That would normally be fine right? But what if there's a rumor that turns out true and you this time decide to not comment on it?

If you're willing to confirm a rumor is fake while unwilling to confirm a true rumor, then people are going to figure out that it's real based on the suspicion alone. From a company's perspective, it is best to never comment on rumors.

With that said though, I am not familiar in regards to how they comment on rumors.

Get hype, Ace Attorney 6 announced.

OH ****!!! PAGING @KenithTheGatherer! More Ace Attorney is always welcome for me.

I'm not surprised Shu Takumi isn't writing this. He stopped being involved with the mainline titles since AA4. The other writer afaik takes over AA5 and beyond (along with the Edgeworth series).

Shu Takumi seems to only work on prequels (Great Ace Attorney) and spinoffs now (Layton VS Wright).

 

[GamerGuy09]

Yeah. It is odd that they don't just shoot it down and say "yeah, it could happen because the ballot is still going, but that rumour is false". I don't know if it's in their best interests to let that hang there.

Yeah, Yacht Club seem to be the type of guys who would shut down a rumor like this nicely if it were false.

Like, "Sorry but he's sadly not in, but the ballot is going on! So vote for #ShovelKnight!"

But instead they are playing SUPER coy with us, which to me basically confirms his inclusion.

Why do you do dis to me? Why yacht club why?

Yeah there's just one tiny little flaw that makes your entire theory fall apart, its pretty minor but its still a important one:

Nintendo won't be at the Tokyo Game Show this year

And I doubt they'll do a surprise show at this years TGS, since Nintendo has been at the previous few years Tokyo Game Shows.

 

[Tama]

I think that's a good point. They've kind of stopped the push for him to be in on Twitter, whereas previously they would post about it all the time with that ballot link.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's a bit different from their usual non-answer of "Wanna see Shovel Knight in Smash? Go vote!"

This.

Nintendo has stopped attending TGS for years. And it REALLY makes no sense to announce a character in a region that isn't familiar with them at all. Shovel Knight to this day still has never seen a Japanese release, and announcing him along with the release date of his game isn't going to hype up the Japanese crowd.

 

[AncientTobacco]

Yeah. It is odd that they don't just shoot it down and say "yeah, it could happen because the ballot is still going, but that rumour is false". I don't know if it's in their best interests to let that hang there.

I'm pretty sure most people think the ballot characters have already been chosen and well underway, so that would essentially be confirming that Shovel Knight won't get in.

I know that, but Nintendo does makes announcements or Nintendo Directs around the TGS. That's why I said, "During" and not "At".

 

[Naoshi]

I know that, but Nintendo does makes announcements or Nintendo Directs around the TGS. That's why I said, "During" and not "At".

But even then, why would they announce a character that the country is not familiar with for Smash Bros? It would make far more sense for them to direct the announcement to westerners. I don't think TGS's time frame would have any sort of influence on the reveal.

 

[Tama]

To clarify, I haven't heard anything about some kind of TGS announcement. That seems improbable.

Ok, screw Shovel Knight, this has my hyped beyond belief. YES

 

[TheAnvil]

Oh shovel off, Shovel Knight.
