    Puke. I would hate that and so should everyone, is my first visceral reaction if that is true.

    I doubt the leak Dark Raven X mentioned is true, but I'd be down for that. I really liked that series.

    What the hell would their moveset look like though?

    Keep in mind the game looks VERY bare-bones -- no voices, few stage hazards, no items, no supers, etc. (Though before you say "that sounds great to me!" I don't think the few stage hazards can be turned off, and I don't think there's omega-style stages.)

    Though the actual fighting looks solid and the moves seem creative and reasonably balanced.

    Well it was going to be Gordon Freeman but they got 2/3 of the way done with his moveset then wandered off to focus on a moba for 13 years.

    No voices is what's really killing it for me. Yeah they could probably hold up a sign that says "COVID" and it would be 100% totally legit. It just sucks you got this actually insane cast together and you're not doing any dang character voices.

    There is a stage like FD, a stage like Battlefield, and one or two stages similar to Town & City.

    Hungrybox reviewed the stages and predicted like 3-5 neutral stages and a similar number of counterpicks.

    I've been following and watching showcases and Max's reactions... I'm all about it still. It's obviously a small budget game and they did what they could with their budget, some characters look better than others but I imagine patches down the road will fix a lot of these issues or missing features because... well, deadlines.

    I love the idea of the Nick game. The character selection seems pretty good and the gameplay looks servicable...but that is it. The game as a whole seems bare bones and just ok-ish. No voices and no actual licensed music from the shows the characters are from. All there seems to be is music 'inspired' by the shows.

    Plus the developer is the one that does the half hearted nick racers too, so that doesn't inspire confidence to me. :P

    Nice to see Sora. Shame that they pretty much had to remove anything Disney related to include him.

    Though maybe that's why they couldn't show his Final Smash...

    My sole disappointment is that Sora has a generic sword counter rather than using the Reflect spell, but since they did actually give him a magic attach rather than having him use Strike Raid, I can't be too unhappy with that.

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

    Well, kinda. No Donald and Goofy in the final smash, no new music, apparently no Sora Amiibo.

    Disney still owns ALL of the original Kingdom Hearts characters, so the process of licensing them is the same. The only characters SE has are the ones that are ripped straight from Final Fantasy.

  • shoeboxjeddyshoeboxjeddy Registered User regular
    Yeah, no Donald and Goofy as background boosters is very stingy on Disney's part. Then again, maybe they were like sure you can use whatever Disney elements you want... here's the price sheet. Donald: $3 million dollars to have him stand in the background and do nothing. Etc.

  • TalithTalith 変態という名の紳士 Miami, FLRegistered User regular
    The amiibo might eventually come, they only just announced the previous character amiibos. I wonder if they spent 6 years trying to get Disney to play ball. It shouldn't be a surprise but still impressive they got the whole series to come to Switch.

    I mean, I'm glad some folks are happy with the choice, I've got no attachment to the character either way.

    The only thing that bums me out is that overall his move set feels ultra generic even for a sword fighter; which is saying something.

    The little pikachu zip thing he can do seems like the only thing that he brings to the class that isn't bare basic attacks, and I'm not totally sure that'll make up for seeming lack of power or versatility compared to say, Pyra/Mythra or Cloud.

    I guess we will see in a couple weeks. Lots of people seemed to have wanted this, so hopefully he's more interesting or fun to play than it made it look in the demonstration.

    Negotiating Sora with both Square and Disney had to be a nightmare for Sakurai and Nintendo.

    When you look at this game as a whole, what an amazing achievement for Sakurai. I hope he gets a nice long vacation.

    I won't lie, the end of the presentation kinda made me tear up a bit. What a ride this has been. :cry:
