purple_beard Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 What will merit sub-forms? I'd argue Mario, Zelda, and a few others have enough in them to garner sub-forum candidacy if Pokemon can. Quote Link to comment
Spring Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 pokemon is way bigger and has way more discussion even on off-seasons than i've ever seen for mario zelda might be a sometimes contender but not by much i'd say a good gauge would be >do we have enough mario threads or zelda threads right this second to merit a semi-permanent board for them? and the answer is no. mario doesn't have lasting power for a conversation. there are no mechanics to go over, nothing rare to achieve. zelda is kind of in the middle, but only during its on season, which is before and after a game comes out and even when it doesn't seem like we have much conversation going for even BOTW right now.

DLurkster Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Also, look to this thread, PB. And pretty much what Sarah said. Quote Link to comment
Stopdoor Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Yeah, I kind of agree Mario discussion is almost always spinning its wheels - fun games to play, not enough depth to discuss more than warrants a few threads once in awhile? I'd think with NX and Breath of the Wild coming around there might be enough buzz for stuff, but it's not really unmanageable in the current boards. It seems like Pokemon is just an especially special case with people here along with the new games coming around? They definitely don't lack depth, have staying power, multiplayer functions, etc. that breed more discussion and organization that a lot of other Nintendo games don't have. Quote Link to comment
Shulk Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'd say when a new game is released it would be a good idea. Right now with the new Zelda game coming maybe a board would be a good idea. The NX could probably get a board as well once more info hits and things get crazy. Quote Link to comment
Iridium Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The only franchises I could see a board being necessary for are Pokémon (most of the time), Smash (prior to release), Animal Crossing (for a month or two immediately after a major release like NL and not some who-gives-a-shit game like amiibo Festival), and maybe Zelda or Fire Emblem for an extremely brief period surrounding new entries. Even then, Pokémon is really in a league of its own and the success of it doesn't necessarily mean the others need to happen. Quote Link to comment
SleuthMechanism Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'd argue that smash could use it's own section since those games generally lend themselves to a lot of discussion over the years. Zelda to an extent too though less so in recent years with how all the lore is spoonfed to us now so there's nothing to really theorize about and such these days.. Quote Link to comment
Spring Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 no console needs its own board, ever imo if we have a gen gaming and gen ninty board already; an NX board would be a waste of space Quote Link to comment

Laclipsey Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 There's a fair amount of Fire Emblem talk that typically goes on around here. For this particular community, I'd say Ylisse might be worth bringing back. Chrom 1 Quote Link to comment

It's kinda like the John Wick movie with Kenau Reeves, dumb plot but great fights. Quote Link to comment
Penance Fracture Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The question I'd like to build on this with is whether or not there will ever be consideration towards sub-boards for significant non-Nintendo franchises, to appear under General Gaming. I can't exactly name a franchise like that off-hand, except maybe Final Fantasy, but I just thought I'd throw the general idea out there. Quote Link to comment
