"blue is noise"

10/10

 

[Neiteio]

The Killager Cult on the right there is very disturbing.

Sacrificing this proud jungle ape to some cosmic horror

 

[Dagobert Duck]

"blue is noise"

This got me :-D

 

[Flowmoney]

Clean backup:

Am I the only one that sees flower as 0 and the 1 making it 10?

So much hype that it takes us to space/lifts us off...in 10 days.

Spoiler

I am only joking around.

Male Villager is looking at Female Villager like, "You're next."

"blue is noise"

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, so good.

 

[Ceravic]

Winter 2014, still, supposedly. I'm totally going to play it. =)

Yeah, I'm definitely in too. It probably won't be the same, but it's the closest we'll ever get to another one.

If you squint real hard, you can see Ridley in the clouds, too.

Although, from the ending of the third one, I don't know how they will continue the story.

All right, peeps. Here's some waiting music, courtesy of Mr. David Wise and Mr. Kenji Yamamoto.

Thanks! There really aren't enough superlatives to describe the TF soundtrack.

You left out Amiss Abyss...

 

[Fandangox]

The AC's seem to allude to the Ice Climbers. Its both a girl and a boy, and they are doing that pose the IC's did in Brawl when they climbed the ice mountain in SSE.

Spoiler

It doesn't mean anything, I am just pointing it out.

Similar thing happened in How I Met Your Mother. Sakurai watches HIMYM confirmed.
-> Small story spoiler ahead:

Spoiler

Ghost of Marshall's father CONFIRMED

Seriously tho, I'll look out for similar hints in the next few POTD's. Crazier things have happened

 

[DJIzana]

You said it. I will always rep a Mother character every chance I get. It's my very first JRPG. I never even liked JRPG's back in the day until I played Earthbound.

I certainly won't forget about Mother, Nintendo, and neither should you!

 

[Freezie KO]

You're right. I tried my best, and I still couldn't even beat Sakurai before he posted.

Amiss Abyss tho

The laser beams from the Galaga thing are blue and shaped like a mountain too...

stealth Summit confirmation

Anything but Summit.

 

[OricWindstar]

Pic of the day. If you get caught in the Boss Galaga item's tractor beam, it will carry you away to the top of the screen. You can shoot it down, but it won't join you in battle for double the firepower.

 

[Freezie KO]

I'm actually happy about a Galaga item. I played that game for so many hours.

Anyway, how does this pose look?

 

[Tazz]

You're right. I tried my best, and I still couldn't even beat Sakurai before he posted.

Amiss Abyss tho

I can not wait for the Wii U DK stage to be shown. If Tropical Freeze influenced Sakurai at all, I know the stage will be extremely badass. Especially with all the great music sprinkled on top!

 

[Makai]

It's like a bidet

 

[C.Olimar788]

So wait, is it an item or an Assist Trophy? It looks like there's another one just hanging out on the ground, so I guess it's an item...?

Edit: States in the description to be an item. All right then!

 

[Not]

Caption up.

Holy shit.

Nothing never means nothing in here. Something always means something, just not the something we meant, the something we thought was actually nothing.

Please show off my little climbers Sakurai.

Between Mother 4 and them hopefully finishing remaking Mother 1 using Earthbound's ROM we'll at least have a couple more things to look forward to if Sakurai breaks our heart.

 

[OricWindstar]

What's the last part mean?

It's a reference to the Galaga arcade game and how you can get a second ship to upgrade your own.

 

[zroid]

What's the last part mean?

I think it's a joke, lol.

edit: oh ok was referencing something specific then

 

[random25]

What's the last part mean?

Galaga reference, where you can retrieve your ship that got sucked in for additional firepower.

 

[Nintendoga]

Edit: Whoops. Meant to edit last post.

So it's like the Beetle?

 

[Marcus]

when do we get the Flavia reveal..

Spoiler

shes in right?

 

[Flowmoney]

Anyone else think that the Ice climbers will have Dora and Diego alt?

 

[Benzychenz]

I've been wanting to play the GC/Wii Fire Emblem's since Ike got revealed but my god Aus copies of Path of Radiance are hard to find, and they go for like $150 at that when they pop up

Should I bite the bullet and buy/play Radiant Dawn (for $100) while I wait to find a PoR copy or does it spoil a lot?

 

[OricWindstar]

So it's like the Beetle?

Seems like it, except that you may have more defense options.

 

[EulaCapra]

Don't worry guys. Sakurai will announce another new newcomer/veteran combo next Monday. Because if he doesn't, I swear to God

Damn that's a lot of money; but yeah, play RD's story and characters aren't as enjoyable without playing PoR first.

I think you should play PoR first. PoR is a direct sequel chronologically, and I don't think Radiant Dawn would make as much sense without it. PoR is also the better game IMO.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Hmm. No caption yet?

EDIT: Nevermind. I just missed it.

Just got to shake 'til it breaks.

"Pic of the day. Here, we see the Villagers celebrating their recent poaching. They'll sell the skin on the black market in an undisclosed location. Good job guys!"

 

[Byronic Hero]

"blue is noise"

Hehe. That thread still kills me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why are villagers celebrating the kill of dong

Also I figured the pic of the day wouldn't incite hype, there's a lack of posts

 

[KHlover]

Yeah, that's a pretty good way to tell bad POTDs from good POTDs. When SmashGAF is still on top one or two hours after POTD it was a good one, if not it was a bad one. Especially noticable around OT6-8 or so when the thread would actually go to second or even third page after a bad POTD

Crazy to think the thread got pushed back so hard in the past, we now barely get to the middle of the front page during the slower times XD

 

[RagnarokX]

oh gotcha

Galaga has a very interesting mechanic. If your ship gets caught in the tractor beam your ship gets taken by the enemy and you lose a life. When your next life begins you can shoot down the enemy ship that stole your last ship and your old ship will attach to your current one and fire alongside it. You don't gain the life back. So you sacrifice a life and gamble to get double firepower.

 

[Benzychenz]

Hmm fine

/continues looking up PoR on ebay daily

 

[JoeInky]

Not to bothered about this potd, something we've seen before, works exactly as anyone should have expected from the first pic of it.

Also it's just another beetle but easier to avoid which is another 'very likely to get a kill' item added to the list.

Also have some people really never played galaga?

"Pic of the day. If you get caught in the Boss Galaga item's tractor beam, it will carry you away to the top of the screen. You can shoot it down, but it won't join you in battle for double the firepower."

I don't know about you guys, but I clearly remember one of us talking about Namco vaguely

the villagers are horrible people.
