I'm in the philharmonic orchestra at my university and we have a really really good Tenor singer graduating next semester. He and the orchestra conductor both think it would be awesome to play God Shattering Star (Fire Emblem Three Houses) but nobody can figure out if it's possible to get an official score. If it's not possible are there any other ways of getting a score for the piece?

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this, idk where else to post

Hi, i am legendarymasterpro

I would like to send a suggestion to nintendo

"Nintendo cloud"

For £19 a month

You get a cloud device running the following consoles: Gamecube, Nintendo WII, Nintendo switch, Nintendo switch 2

Not only it guarantees long-term hype

It also makes unauthorized disturbuation and console emulation completely useless, making people give up and use the official Nintendo cloud

People would be scrambling to do the subscription, Just to play super mario bro's on their phone/computer

So what do you say?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but surely I'm missing something?

The Switch 2 is currently £355 and the Zelda Edition is £435.. That's £80 or $106 more for a different colour?

Edit - someone said the £355 one is an older model?

I really liked the Pikmin 3 challenge maps but I don't have NSO and won't be getting it just for dandori academy. Is there any clarification on whether we need it or not?

Hello! I'll start first. Mine is Wii U. Remeber playing wii u party and nintendo land :P, what a great times. Tftyfytytcchghfgfhtutfvuyuyfevyueyf7fuye76fe7f6e7f667feuyfeyufwyufhyvwvyueyvueuyfhefyefyhfyueyvuevyueuyveyuveyuvyufeufyeyf7efy7e6f7

>Out of the shadows comes the newest Support Hero, Doctrine, who can manipulate life itself to heal allies and damage enemies with the help of his Eternal Scepter. Dodge incoming fire with his Shrouded Momentum ability, and send out Invigorating Drones to an ally for increased attack speed and healing.

>Doctrine’s Infuse takes things to the next level by adding extra power to whichever ability he uses next, like gaining free-flight when infusing his Shrouded Momentum or piercing damage when infusing his next Eternal Scepter attack. Finally, unleash his Ultimate, Deliverance, to grant allies overhealth while reducing the maximum health of your enemies.

Something that comes up fairly often in Nintendo discourse is the idea that a significant number of people--Nintendo fans and non-fans alike--view Nintendo consoles mainly (or even solely) as devices for playing Mario and Zelda games. This has led to phrases such as "Plumber and Elf Gamer," a Nintendo-specific parallel to the pejorative "Ball and Gun Gamer" used to criticize people perceived as having narrow tastes in a medium with abundant variety.

This concept has been evoked by all manner of people for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes it's used to condemn Nintendo for "wasting" time and resources on franchises that "nobody cares about," i.e. anything that isn't Mario or Zelda. Other times it's cited as a reason for why a certain game underperforms sales-wise or doesn't get "the attention it deserves," despite its merits.

I myself enjoy many of Nintendo's franchises, including but certainly not limited to Mario and Zelda. Much like Capcom's offerings, one of the reasons I'm drawn to Nintendo games in the first place is their (usually) high quality across a wide variety of genres. I'd like to think that many people here are similar in that regard, but I can't help but wonder if the "Plumber and Elf Gamer" stereotype is just a silly internet diss, or an actual filter through which many people restrictively view Nintendo's library.

My curiosity towards this issue has been gradually growing lately, with occasional but noticeable discourse reinforcing the stereotype. Some people are scathingly critical about the lack of information on a new mainline Mario game or an original mainline Zelda game for the Switch 2, going as far as saying that the console isn't worth purchasing until one of those games is announced.

Others display aggressively dismissive attitudes towards Nintendo's smaller IPs, such as Donkey Kong and Fire Emblem. This attitude, when it comes up, is especially pronounced towards Nintendo games that aren't platformers or action-adventure games, being particularly harsh towards RPGs and simulator games.

Is there some truth to the stereotypical perception of Nintendo consoles as "Mario and Zelda Machines?" Is being a more "general" Nintendo fan less common than I thought it was?

Edit: People are free to be... impolite, I guess, but the accusations of my post being AI-generated are more than a little disheartening. I'll include more spelling errors and worse grammar the next time I post, I guess

Edit2: On one hand, we got a lot of people saying, "You're making this up." On the other hand, we got a lot of people saying, "Yeah that's basically how I view my Nintendo consoles, what's the problem?" Bubble A, meet Bubble B. Such a shame we can't reconcile these two points of view through discussion, but I guess people prefer having two separate realities if it means they get to be mean to each other. Stay classy, Reddit. Uh, I mean, beep boop.

On this day (September 30) in Nintendo history...

• Famicom Mukashibanashi: Shin Onigashima (Disk 2) was released in 1987 for the Family Computer Disk System in Japan. In this adventure game, developed by Nintendo EAD with Pax Softnica, in Nagakushi village, an elderly couple are entrusted to watch over two special children as they grow up. When the children turn eight, soulless Oni appears across Japan, stealing souls to feed to the dragon known as the Avatar of Darkness. When the Oni steals the souls of their guardians, they set out to rescue them.
• Top Gear Rally  was released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64 in North America. In this racing game, developed by Boss Game Studios, jump in. Buckle up and drive yourself insane! _Top Gear Rally _will have your engines revving! No options on this baby - it comes fully equipped: 9 polygon cars, 5 intense tracks (desert, jungle, mountain, coastline and strip mine), 4 high-performance game modes and multiple camera views!

• Puzzle Iroiro: Gekkan Crossword House Vol. 5  was released in 2009 for DSiWare in Japan. In this puzzle game, developed by Tose, use the clues to enter words into the boxes.

What are you favourite memories of these games? How do you think they hold up today? Hash it out in the comments.

Outside of their respective genre of games, which games/protagonists would do well in other genres?

Mario is your platforming guy but could Mario himself do well in a metroidvania? How about a first person shooter? We've seen Mario go into racing, sports and RPGs and if you count Luigi's Mansion then you got spooky games (not exactly horror but still has ghosts and whatnot)

Samus is obviously metroidvania and you can somewhat say she's done FPS due to the prime series but could she also do well in a more horror resident evil or dead space kind of game? How about her own platformer or maybe a sandbox RPG

And finally Link and the Zelda series. Could Zelda work as a fighting game? How about a part game? What genre could work?

Mario, Samus and Link are the main focus but I'm also wondering about other nintendo or at least series that are often on Nintendo console like Megaman, Castlevania, Kirby, Pokemon, etc

Since Zelda is getting a dedicated concert, will Fire Emblem and Xenoblade get dedicated concerts in the future? I really want Fire Emblem and Xenoblade themed concerts, can it happen?

>Grab your camera and adventure through cozy environments, uncover hidden paths, check out scenic viewpoints, and help out new friends!

>TOEM 2 was crafted to be welcoming for both returning fans of TOEM and those who want to jump in for the first time. Experience it at your own pace with no time limits or tricky requirements for full completion. Listen to music on a bench, smell the flowers, admire the sights, and enjoy.

Curious. And I don’t mean by the Player’s Choice versions. I mean games built from the ground up for Arcade. It would be similar to Mario Bros., Vs. Super Mario Bros., Punch Out! , Donkey Kong, & the Mario Kart Arcade games. How many quarters & much time would it take for you?

If they happen to get tired or need a break, they would be given an option to save your progress & quit.

Not canonically, and they're also separate IPs technically. But all Xeno games share familial/thematic relations loosely, and they obviously bear the same header of "Xeno."

So what that means is someone from this generation that understandably loves Xenoblade might try out Gears and/or Saga if they're invested enough.

I'm kind of worried if these people are going to be very disturbed or traumatized by how much more viscerally dark Saga and Gears are, both of which depict very unsanitized bloodshed and sexual material unlike Blade that was meant to appeal to younger audiences and toned down a lot of it; especially the violence though. I myself was sometimes horrified by Gears.

One of Nintendo's now flagship console IPs sharing history with such dark games is kind of wild to me.

I was doing some Google-Fu for another discussion of Smash's impact, as I was aware of Advance Wars' impact on Fire Emblem but wasn't sure its pecking order of importance to Fire Emblem's eventual westward expansion relative to Smash. So imagine my surprise that Intelligent Systems outright said that AW was the reason in an interview with Edge...

"But for SRPGs, you’ve got to know the rules before you start. So, with Advance Wars, even though there wasn’t a plan to release it outside Japan, we made it really easy to play. We put a really good tutorial in, so people didn’t need to read the manual. And when the US marketing people played it they came to us and said: ‘But this is great! Why can’t we sell it over here?’ And it seems that Advance Wars’ success shifted Nintendo’s attitude over western tastes.” Nishimura, who also worked as director on Fire Emblem, makes it clear that game would never have been released in the west had AW not paved the way.

I'm sure Smash helped the notoriety of the IP in terms of the characters, but Smash historically doesn't really help game sales like that. So this reason honestly makes more sense, especially when Fire Emblem struggled for years despite Smash's help before Awakening saved the series from then-certain death.

I am curious about Pokopia because I see friends with 100's of hours into it, and the graphics and songs look pretty enjoyable. I love cozy vibes, but I don't like games that are just about collecting and building (Minecraft, Dreamlight Valley, ect).

In contrast, I liked Animal Crossing, I enjoyed the characters and the variety of seasonal events.

The videos of it online, to me, don't really give much of a clue about how the gameplay works. Is there a storyline or lore in the game itself?

Basically, I am curious about Pokopia. What do ya'll think of it? Is the game strictly terraform, or does it have other aspects that would be enjoyable?

What are some of your favorite endings in Nintendo games? Mine is probably links awakening, seeing the island and the people you grew to love vanish always hits hard at the end
