Meet the Admin. Team

I had 'except Antarctica' down originally, until I remembered that I hadn't been to Asia with the parents.

Anyway I'm going to nitpick over all the mistakes in Mas' posts now, see y'all in five years or so?

You did leave you open for it.

*yourself

Arguably so, but you left yourself open for that.

'Tis the season to meet the admins, falalala etc. etc.

Questions:

LA Noire sees you roam the mean streets of 40s and 50s Los Angeles. Which city should get the open world treatment next and what time should it be set during?
Berlin in the 80's

Skyrim! At long last, Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series hits Nintendo platforms. What big franchise that's never seen the light of day on Nintendo do you want to see heading Switchwards?
Overwatch, I just think the game suits a Nintendo platform and I would like special costumes such as Zero Suit Samus Mercy

Justice League released last month. If you were a superhero, what would your superhero name be?
Nun the Wiser

Another League, Rocket League, arrived on the Switch eShop last month. What's your dream car?
Hmm this a hard one as I'm someone that does like cars but even if I won the lotto and I sure would like a Audi R8, but I would to scared to sort of drive it. That I think I would more and likely get a Audi RS3 with all the toys.

Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon were released last month, to critical mehing. What do you most want to see in Pokémon Switch?
I echo Jay maybe a sort of reboot starting from Kanto but in HD and all the new things to Pokemon over the years.

The engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle was announced last month. Which two video game characters should get married?
Didn't we do this one before and Bayonetta was paired of with Samus?

LA Noire sees you roam the mean streets of 40s and 50s Los Angeles. Which city should get the open world treatment next and what time should it be set during?

Apart from that Mario did it better first (albeit with a fictional city), London would be great, but I'd love to do Tokyo.  Specifically Shibuya.  TWEWY put it into my brain, now I want to see it in 3D.  And climbable.

EDIT: Blimey I didn't see the time query! Give me any point in feudal Japan and that'll be grand. #weeb

Skyrim! At long last, Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series hits Nintendo platforms. What big franchise that's never seen the light of day on Nintendo do you want to see heading Switchwards?

Jay's not actually wrong, but in the interest of giving a different answer: if we don't include imports Ni No Kuni, if we do Danganronpa.

Justice League released last month. If you were a superhero, what would your superhero name be?

The Balladeer.  I was going to type '(points to the left and up a bit)', like a clever fella, only of course I've changed my name for the festive season.

Another League, Rocket League, arrived on the Switch eShop last month. What's your dream car?

I don't like cars.  I can't drive them because of the level of multitasking they require, and they pollute the atmosphere.  So it'd be completely powered by renewables and self-driving.

Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon were released last month, to critical mehing. What do you most want to see in Pokémon Switch?

Let's make it simple: we're long overdue proper Pokémon cries in the main series games.  There's a bunch of other stuff I'd like to see, like perma-Repel and the complete removal of the Elite Four as the endgame, but I'm starting small and obvious.

The engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle...

No I'm not going to let you finish the question.  While I'm no great republican, and don't begrudge them their right to marry, I do begrudge any attention to this subject.  A person who was born rich got married, big whoop.  That doesn't mean they deserve any focus at all outside their family and friends.

Only thing with the Japan setting loads of games have done that already like Andys fav Yakuza plus Danganronpa has come out in the west but I would like to see it ported over and it was a VITA game.

LA Noire sees you roam the mean streets of 40s and 50s Los Angeles. Which city should get the open world treatment next and what time should it be set during?

I'd like to see a faithful replication of Agartha, the supposed city under the Earth.

Skyrim! At long last, Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series hits Nintendo platforms. What big franchise that's never seen the light of day on Nintendo do you want to see heading Switchwards?

It would have to be a Rockstar game like Red Dead or GTA. Hopefully LA Noire proves rewarding enough to try either GTA V or Red Dead Remastered.

Justice League released last month. If you were a superhero, what would your superhero name be?

Something ridiculous like Mongoose McManus. You see, Spiderman, Batman... these are too obvious. "AAARGGH it's Batman! Scarper!". Instead you would see "AAARRGGH! What the hell is that? It's that bloke with the odd name, you know the one... Mon... Mr. Mc-somethin" *SMACK*

Another League, Rocket League, arrived on the Switch eShop last month. What's your dream car?

One that NEVER goes wrong or breaks down. Had a light come on today on my VW Golf and it powered the car down on the freakin' motorway. Luckily, turning off the engine and starting it again worked. Maybe it's powered by the Internet.

Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon were released last month, to critical mehing. What do you most want to see in Pokémon Switch?

I'd be happy if they used the Xenoblade engine and replaced the enemies with Pokemon.

The engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle was announced last month. Which two video game characters should get married?

Luigi and Daisy. Luigi's Mansion 3 revolves around their honeymoon stay in a lavish estate that turns sour.

LA Noire sees you roam the mean streets of 40s and 50s Los Angeles. Which city should get the open world treatment next and what time should it be set during?
Troy, a couple millenia BC. I want the Homeric epics in sword and sandals videogame glory.

Skyrim! At long last, Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series hits Nintendo platforms. What big franchise that's never seen the light of day on Nintendo do you want to see heading Switchwards?
I don't even give a shit that this is predictable: Dark Souls. I love that game and would eat one of my own bollocks to be able to play it on the go and live the dream.

Justice League released last month. If you were a superhero, what would your superhero name be?
Golden Man. I'd have flowing blond hair emerging from the back and top of my mask, throwing everyone off my secret identity.

Another League, Rocket League, arrived on the Switch eShop last month. What's your dream car?
1978 Chevrolet Camaro, yellow with black trim.

Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon were released last month, to critical mehing. What do you most want to see in Pokémon Switch?
Pokémon on the overworld. HG/SS-style followers, no random battles, no battle segues . . . its 2017, Game Freak!

The engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle was announced last month. Which two video game characters should get married?
Ryu and Ken.

We just reflect the news and, where possible, the happy news. That was the biggest happy news I could think of at the time. I understand the frustration of some.

So you've chosen to be Dolph Ziggler in a lucha mask?

To make it clear: I'm not railing against the fine work you lovely admin. boys do here, I'm railing against the focus of the media in general. For a genuine answer, Luigi and Prince Peasley.

GJones' idea is also a good one, as long as Daisy spends most of the game in a painting. In fact, basically all of GJones' answers are top-notch this month! Especially the Xenomon idea. BotW eat your heart out, Game of Forever material right there.

Questions:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi launched last month and despite the mixed impressions from the audience, we can all agree that the Porgs are brilliant. What are your favourite merchandising mascots from a game, film or TV show?
Pikachu

Christmas has been and gone! Get anything nice this year?
SNES Mini, KDB Signed picture and Ca$h which has now all gone on 4K, Anime and football goodness.

And on the flipside, tell us about a time that you received or gave a gift that didn't go down all that well?
Nothing I can think off but I did get my uncle a 3D Blu Ray Player a few years ago when he got a 3DTV and he's never used it and since has got a 4KTV which doesn't have 3D.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was released last month. Which Wii game should get a Switch sequel next?
Last Story

VS. Super Mario Bros. came to the Switch eShop last month. When is the Switch Virtual Console coming?
Never, in the same way as Wii, Wii U or 3DS.

The GNamer Forum Annual Awards for 2017 launched last month. Got your vote in yet?
Yep

Star Wars: The Last Jedi launched last month and despite the mixed impressions from the audience, we can all agree that the Porgs are brilliant. What are your favourite merchandising mascots from a game, film or TV show?
I'm surrounded by Princess Peach memorabillia, so i guess I have to go with her . . .

Christmas has been and gone! Get anything nice this year?
I got some clothes and useful bits and bobs for my Japan trip, a couple of fun knick knacks, a great Secret Santa haul and a children's computer game.

And on the flipside, tell us about a time that you received or gave a gift that didn't go down all that well.
For most of my childhood, I always got really fun gifts from my extended family and something really naff and practical from my parents.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was released last month. Which Wii game should get a Switch sequel next?
GHOST SQUAD

VS. Super Mario Bros. came to the Switch eShop last month. When is the Switch Virtual Console coming?
Alongside the paid online mode, with some sort of subscription service or incentive to lessen the blow of having to play for the online service.

The GNamer Forum Annual Awards for 2017 launched last month. Got your vote in yet?
Of course not!
I will at some point, but there is a part of me that still feels really weird about this vote. In a forum this small, there's something slightly off about formally voting to rank our friends. I'll still do it, though as always I will be leaving it until the last possible minute.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi launched last month and despite the mixed impressions from the audience, we can all agree that the Porgs are brilliant. What are your favourite merchandising mascots from a game, film or TV show?
Firstly, YASS PORGS!  I absolutely love the little blighters!  The scene where one gets belted into a window was my favourite bit of the entire film!  Which was pretty good, by the way, despite me knowing next to nothing about Star Wars.
In answer to the query, I actually prefer Yo-Kai Watch's Jibanyan to Pikachu.  

Christmas has been and gone! Get anything nice this year?
On the games front, XC2 and Skyrim (as well as the forum's own gift, DK Jungle Beat).  Also, some Terry Pratchett socks and a book of terrible puns.  Somebody knows me...

And on the flipside, tell us about a time that you received or gave a gift that didn't go down all that well.
The main one that springs to mind (giving-wise) is 2016's Secret Santa.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was released last month. Which Wii game should get a Switch sequel next?
Mas' suggesting of The Last Story is a good one, although we have to be careful: legend has it, mentioning The Last Story three times on the same forum page conjures up an angry Vidofnir.  (crosses fingers and hopes)
But the actual correct answer is Okami.  

VS. Super Mario Bros. came to the Switch eShop last month. When is the Switch Virtual Console coming?
I predicted the latter half of this year in the Predictions thread, so I guess I'd better stick with that!

The GNamer Forum Annual Awards for 2017 launched last month. Got your vote in yet?
I was the first to get my votes in, mate!  I hope you thank me by being equally punctual for my Switch voting thread when it comes around.

Could only second that. As long as it's a Wii game that begins with the letter 'O', I appear to be happy.

Also: Muramasa please. Sorely underrate game, but it made you feel like a proper ninja, and was as much of a love letter to weebs as Okami was.

Fried or boiled? I want a hospital report proving it's been done, too.

Seems a bit sadistic, that, if I'm honest.

I don't particularly want Drunka to make like Hitler, but it's the principle of the thing. If you're going to say these things you need to be willing to go through with them. Unless you're the President of the United States, natch.

I said I'd do it to make it happen, not I'd do it if it happens. Obviously someone at FROM decided the game was worth making whether I self-cannibalised or not.

Either that or you're living with a missing bollock at the moment.

2018 trundles on and presents you all with another opportunity to meet the admin team!
