User:Element Knight 375/Gaming Forum

Hello, visitors and members! My nickname is Element Knight 375, an avid fan of Game Ideas Wiki. I'm the writer of several pages, such as The Element Chronicles, and I have been in communication with executive members, such as Ouroburos,TheNewSaurian and Geniusguy445, regarding my work and whether I could join.

Geniusguy graciously extended a personal invitation to create an account and join the community, but I convinced him to let me stay anonymous from an official standpoint for security reasons. However, I provided a nickname, Element Knight 375, for them to address me by, and shortly afterward they gave me permission to establish this, a Discussion Page, for people to give their opinions on once-a-day questions through the extremely quick, extremely easy, and extremely informal process of editing.

So here's how this works: for every day I visit the site, I will come on to this page, type that day's date, and post a question for that day, regarding everything from what game you would want made the most, from a good bout of "Who would win in a fight?". If you are intrigued by a question, just click "Edit Page" at the top next to the title, scroll down to the question you want to answer, start a paragraph, and then make up a nickname for yourself. This name can be on-the-spot or established, but you don't have to make an account. From there, you just write up your answer, hit publish, and then it's open to the public. If your answer is really good, I, Element Knight, or some of the executive contributors might respond to it. If you have a question you'd like me to ask, go to the bottom and post a comment for it (also account-free). Are you ready? Here goes!

05/01/12: What game exclusive to the 3DS do you think should be available on the Wii?
 * Maybe Pushmo. Seeing as I am part of club Nintendo, and all the new game updates are for the 3DS, it bugs me. So maybe more than just that one. Genius Guy #445 (talk)
 * I kind of agree, I have the Nintendo Channel and everything is for the 3DS that I don't have. I so have to get one for my birthday. Anyway, I think Kid Icarus: Uprising should be on the Wii, because I really want to try it, but maybe Mario Power Tennis and Luigi's Mansion 2 when they come out. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

05/02/12: How about this: is there a Wii game that you'd like to be able to play on the go through the 3DS?


 * Just one? I don't want the game on the handheld, just as 3D. Though i like the handheld. You know, alot of channels would be really good on the 3DS, not so much the full Wii games. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * True. I'd like to see Skyward Sword on the 3DS, and they should honestly put up Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Plus, I guess a Super Mario Galaxy and or Mii-based game should be on there too. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Super Mario Galaxy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gibie.

05/03/12: What new color for the 3DS would you most like to see? 05/04/12: What game or type of game do you think should have WFC options?
 * Green. Predictable? Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think green would be cool too. Geez, so many to choose from. Well, my first choice is Cobalt Blue in the United States, and perhaps Silver, Gold, or maybe Orange. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Green is my favorite color, but what about yellow?- Al129023 May 11, 2012 7:07 PM
 * Yellow, purple, rusty.............yeah green and rusty sound cool. Gibie.
 * I don't actually use the WFC much, so it doesn't matter much to me. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think multiplayer side-scrollers should have WFC. You know, you could have a WFC save file to play through with your registered friends, and you could do free play with random users. Otherwise, a Mii-based game like Wii Sports Resort should have it. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

05/05/12: Happy May the Fourth Be With You Day! In honor of this day, if you could have anything from the Star Wars universe, what would it be?
 * Lightning powers. Or just Force. And a lightsaber. Dangit, this question is hard. Lightning is so cool, Force is useful and a lightsaber would be incredible. I guess force, then lightning, then lightsaber. Beyond fights, what good is such a sword? Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd like a dark blue lightsaber just to practice with, but otherwise, I'd want Force powers, or a Jedi Starfighter. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Darth Vader helmet. Done and Done. Gibie.

05/06/12: And now we have the Kentucky Derby day! To honor that, out of all the horses in video games, which is your favorite?
 * The ones in Petz: Horses, because NerdCubed trolled his fans when pretending to review Amnesia, The Dark Decent for April Fools. Or maybe the cows in Wii Play, or the Ostros that Shy Guys ride. Oh Shy Guys, you ride Ostriches. Is there anything weird you don't do? Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Epona gets my vote because she's Link's horse and the official horse of the Zelda series. Otherwise, I like the horses from The Lord of the Rings, even though they aren't really featured. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the Wii Party horses that are at the derby game. (Mines name is Sparkly.) Gibie.
 * Uhhh...OK. Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/07/12: Do you have a favorite Rayman game? 05/08/12: What's your favorite Earthbound game?
 * Don't play, but there is a flash Rabbids game that I thought was unusual. Does that count? Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Rayman Origins seems like the most fun, because no rabbits are involved. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 04:11, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Never played, sadly. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why do you answer if you never played it? I wonder if SSBB counts, because it has Ness and Lucas in it. Al129023 May 20, 2012 8:18 PM
 * I've never played either, so I'm gonna go with Al and say SSBB. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/09/12: Who's your favorite sith in the Star Wars universe? 05/10/12: Who would win in a fight, Zekrom or Reshiram?
 * I'd say either Darth Nihulius from The Knights of the Old Republic II game, or possibly Darth Sidious(Emperor Palpatine). It's hard to decide.- Al129023 8:15, May 8, 2012
 * My vote probably goes with the cliche and Darth Vader, but I also like Darth Revan and Darth Maul for his combat skill. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 03:06, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Darth Sidious because of the lightning. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a very hard decision. So I'm not going to say anything. Gibie.
 * That's either really stupid or really brilliant. I'm gonna say Zekrom because he's cool and electric. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/11/12: Do you think that there should be an entirely new set of characters and trophies in the next SSB title? From what game series? 05/12/12: What is the most useful application of video games you've ever seen?
 * If Epic Saga was real, I'll say that, but since it's not real, I say Mortal Kombat- Al129023 May 11, 2012 7:04 PM
 * Well, I don't think Mortal Kombat should be added to the mix yet, because it's just so out of its proper place in the SSB universe. Still, I do think that Mega Man, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and more characters from Fire Emblem and Sonic should be added. "So much thinking involved..." Element Knight 375 05:06, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Great people think alike. Why not add Mega Man, Spyro, Crash, and Sonic to the mix. "I forgot my pants." Gibie.
 * I want those characters in for sure. ^ Not so much Mortal Kombat, for the reason listed. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I love flipnote Hatana and I think it is the best there is. Gibie.
 * Well, the way I understand this question is, what is the most clever and smart way you've seen video games be used. So to answer that, I'd say it would be the application in fitness! All of these in-shape games for the Wii and Kinect show you just how popular they are, and I personally think it's amazing how well they've done. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 05:23, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not like I asked the question with this link in mind to answer it or anything. But yeah, fitness can be great. Especially on the Kinect. Oh, and how gaming surgeons are better. And how one game has the same medical training as the actual army has. That sort of stuff. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

05/13/12: What's the most useful application of video games in your own life?
 * I answered the question above this one didn't I? "I forgot my pants." Gibie.
 * In my own life? Well, I haven't killed anyone, so scratch that off the list. I think the biggest thing is that gaming has been the biggest outlet for my writing skills. As you can see in some of my articles, games have been where I devote my thought and talent into. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, to answer Gib's question, the last question was about useful applications you've seen. This one is about ones that are helpful to you, yourself. As for this question, I think that the best application of video games for me is as a stress reliever. Especially Nintendo games, which make so little sense that it's a great way to escape the unreasonable problems of life. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/14/12: What part of your life needs achievements like on the Xbox 360?
 * He-he. I ain't gonna tell ya. You don't even need to know. Creepy Gibie.
 * Oh, just scatter them everywhere. The difficult and random to get ones. Like surprise, because I broke three glasses at one time when putting away some dishes, I earn money and receive the "Clean til the End" achievement. Yeah. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say everything is a good answer, but were I to choose one, I'd pick school. It's not that I don't like school; in fact, I enjoy the everyday occupation and challenge. The thing is, I would feel much more fulfilled if I could get achievements and money, and it would be a phenomenal source of incentive. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/15/12: Which do you find more rewarding, level ups or achievements?
 * Truthfully. Level-ups and upgrades of the same manor. Gibie.
 * Agreed, I'm a way bigger fan of level ups, because they lend definite significance to the gameplay, as opposed to achievements, which are more like trophies. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 05:23, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like both, because you can have both at the same time. Level ups reward your diligence, achievement reward your luck. I really like both. Though based on that, level ups are more rewarding, because the task was as concrete. "You win a trophy because you won the race" vs "Here, have a trophy!" More rewarding vs more exciting. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * They are both great. Level- Ups make your playing character more powerful and achievements are trophies for completing great moments in a game - Al129023 May 20, 2012 8:12 PM
 * I think that's the best answer. Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/16/12: Which would you say is your highest-leveled RPG character?
 * If you count Pokemon games as RPGs then I would say that on my Firered game that my Blastiose is level 101. He has the highest level of every Pokemon on every game I have. Although my Empoleon is level 98. Gibie.
 * Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm. - Unknown
 * Bowser in Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story. He's level 48.- Al129023 May 20, 2012 8:24 PM
 * I have a revised answer to this one, but there isn't really a most powerful character as much as most powerful team (yeah, I know it sounds sappy, but what do you know). As I write this, I just finished Alm's first quest in Fire Emblem Gaiden after starting from the beginning, and yet I know have a party of Alm (Warrior), Ruka (Armored Knight), Silk (Sister), Cliff (Wizard), Bird (also a Wizard), Fols (Soldier), Kreb (Paladin), Grey (Archer), and finally Pay (also an Archer). What's more is that I only lost one character in the entire single sitting I did it in, which was due only to a dumb mistake. So yeah, my FEG team rocks out loud. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Highest leveled... the levels are so different for every game! In Paper Mario, there aren't levels, but we can't really get higher. I guess I'll go with that. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/17/12: Which game do you think has the most difficult second-to-last level?
 * My cousin used to have this game. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. This one wins every time. Gibie.
 * I haven't gotten to the second-to-last level on that one yet (I have it for the N64). You may not count this, but I think the Great Maze in SSBB is unreasonably difficult. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know right? Gibie
 * I don't remember one of hand, but it always seems like the second last level is always so much harder than the last level- Boss or otherwise. Few exceptions. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/18/12: Which tag-along characters do you enjoy playing as more than the main characters of a game? 05/19/12: Who would you rather hang out with for a day, Mario or Donkey Kong?
 * Diddy Kong in Donkey Kong Country Returns. Gibie.
 * There are a lot (like Diddy Kong) for me, but my biggest one would be Toad. Any Toad (especially Blue Toad in New Super Mario Bros. Wii). "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 05:23, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Considering all the Mario games I have and love....definitely Mario. Gibie P.S. Thanks for answering my questions EK.
 * Probably Mario, because he's predictable enough. Though is he safe to be around? Depends on the game. I'd chill with DK in Mario Party. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say I'd prefer Mario, because DK seems a bit too short-tempered at times. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:02, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

05/20/12: Which do you like better, updated control games or classic control games?
 * Updated control games have a nice touch. (One fine example would be Pikmin for Wii.) I personally prefer classic control games because they might show me what gamers from a lost era had to deal with. Although sometimes I just like them better cuz I'm stubborn like that. Gibie.
 * Focus on the translation between the gameplay from the controls more than anything. The most responsive is usually the most fun. Mario Power Tennis is more fun on the Wii than on the Game Cube. Though because of the simplistic Wiimote controls, not every game should be "upgraded" to a new system. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  03:08, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a very tough decision. I'd say that classic control of the N64 era was superior, because while games like SSBB have fantastic controls, some motion controls, like early MotionPlus, were too weak and unreliable as time went on. Plus, the classic control era was simpler; they were just as fun, and easy to manage, like New Super Mario Bros Wii. If I had to pick a genre of modern games that have better controls than the classics, it would be side-scrollers. "Batman does not eat nachos!" Element Knight 375 01:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

05/21/12: Do you see Wario as a real villain?
 * Na. He's just some fat guy. No offense fat people. Gibie. "I'm angry now!"
 * This is a tough one; Wario seems more like an ancillary villain, someone who just stands in the way of people trying to stop the main villain. Still, I see him as a villain in the sense that he's annoying and a total jerk. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:02, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * He's sorta like DK, who punishes those if they take/stop him from getting something he wants. He's not really much of a villain. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/22/12: Who's your favorite F-Zero character?
 * I just have to answer this right now, before anyone else. Mine is Captain Falcon! Wanna know why? "Falcon PUNCH!!!" (Element Knight 375 03:38, May 23, 2012 (UTC))
 * FALCON PUNCH back at ya EK. Gibie "I'm angry now!"(Super Smash Bros. Brawl) SSE 67) The Two Captains
 * After some research, y'all should see Mighty Gazelle, Phoenix, Digi-Boy, QQQ. Either robots, cyborgs, techies or cool looking. Yeah. They need to make another FZero game. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/24/12: What would be the best game to buy on your birthday? Mario Party? Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/25/12: What's your favorite power-up or item in the Mario universe?
 * I have always loved the fire flower and will continue to do so. In the case of New Super Mario Bros. I like it because it can basically double your points by not only shooting the enemy,but producing a coin at the same time. Gibie. "I'm angry now!"
 * I like the Ice Flower because of all the ways you can use it in combat. You can freeze an enemies and throw him into the wall, or you can use said ice block to take out other enemies. Still, I like the Cape Feather and Super Leaf as well. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:02, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I loved the addition of the mini mushroom to NSMBW. It's for the best, which is really cool when you can complete the challenges with it. So epic. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/26/12: Which would you rather have, a Togepi or a Kikwi ?
 * What the heck is a Kikwi? Gibie. "I'm angry now!"
 * Follow the link, my friend, follow the link. I'd rather have a Togepi, because even though Kikwis are funny, they don't seem to serve any purpose aside from existing. At least Togepi has some special abilities. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:02, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * A Ditto. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/27/12: Which game enemy do you find most interesting?
 * Go Bowser. Gibie. "I'm angry now!"
 * That's a pretty good answer now that I think about it. Yet, if I'm to pick a single recurring enemy, it would be the Wiggler. I mean, their only offensive move is walking around, you can only kill them with the POW Block, and even if you do try to bounce on them and they get mad, their only reaction is walking around faster and more menacingly. I fail to understand how they can really be called enemies. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:27, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe Duplighosts. Oh wait, no. I've played Super Paper Mario. The most interesting enemy is the dimention-flipping goombas! Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/28/12: What about most entertaining? 05/29/12: What about most confusing?
 * It's a tough desicion, but I'm just going to say Andross from Star Fox 64 3D. I think I'ts entertaining because he does funny stuff . I mean, a giant floating monkey is shooting lightning and tapping his head.- Al129023
 * Good point. I like Shy Guys, though. They're just really funny the way they look and act, and they just seem to be doing all sorts of different things. Be it walking on stilts, stealing stuff, or shooting people with arrows. "Oh, that's not living." Element Knight 375 05:38, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm with Al. Although I haven't played the 3D version I have to say that Andross is one of the most entertaining villians of all time. (That cute little floating monkey head.) Gibie. "I'm angry now!"
 * If you've ever played Mario vs. Donkey Kong: MiniLand Mania then you know what I'm talking about when I say the last boss level in the game is the most confusing. Gibie. "Sombody call the docta!"
 * That makes sense. Although I think it would be the Waddle Dee. They just run around like morons and die if they run into you. Plus, if you eat them, you get nothing. What's the point? "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:27, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Shy Guys without a doubt. Every game they're in shows them even funnier than before. :D Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/30/12: Which sidekick do you think is most interesting?
 * I gotta say Waluigi. He's pretty interesting with those weird arms and legs. Gibie. "Somebody call the docta!"
 * Gooey from Kirby's Dream Land 3. It's not really that I find him interesting, but I just hate that he's in the game. He takes away half your health, eats potential power-up enemies, and makes the game too easy. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:27, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Luigi. A sidekick to Mario, with his own story. Nintendo puts a lot of work into their stories. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

05/31/12: What about mysterious?
 * Also Waluigi. Where did this guy come from. I mean really. Have you ever thought about where he came from and what his deal is. Why is he so loyal to Wario? Gibie. "Somebody call the docta!"
 * I think that's Robin from Batman: Arkham City. He's never around in the Story Mode from what I can see, but he seems to always know what Batman's doing, because he goes to try to help whenever it's necessary. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 20:27, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * White Shy Guy from Yoshi Story. You find him in mystery bubbles, and then he runs around following you, all to save a Yoshi from the bad guys. Like, why would he do this? What so motivates him? Yoshi gives him cookies, maybe? Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

June
06/01/12: Summer vacation is here! What gaming-related thing are you looking forward to getting and spending some of your free time with
 * Hee. Minecraft. See you next month when I get off it. :P Genius Guy #445 (talk)  02:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

06/02/12: What's your favorite game genre?
 * My favorite game genre is action. If you can keep things flowing and still interesting... you've got me hooked. Gibie "Enemy sheild analyzed."
 * I like action/adventure and fantasy games, especially from Nintendo. Sometimes puzzle or strategy games are pretty fun, but they have to be the right ones, like Hexic or Fire Emblem Gaiden. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 01:58, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

06/03/12: Would you rather the world use Star Coins or Rupees as money?
 * I've got alot of Star Coins so lets just switch it all now world. I'm rich. Gibie. "Enemy sheild analyzed."
 * I'd definitely want Rupees. Not only do they come in all sorts of cool colors and values, but you can find them everywhere! Imagine if you could get tons and tons of money for gardening or mowing the grass! That would be awesome! "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 01:58, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

06/04/12: Which F-Zero do you prefer, the one on the N64 or the Gamecube? 6/06/12: Would you rather have Dr. Mario or Dr. Robotnik as a doctor?
 * Really and truly I love most N64 games more than most other games so I got to say the N64 era one. Gibie. "All-range mode."
 * I think the GameCube version has better graphics, but I've played neither. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 01:58, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * heh he.... I think we know who would win this. If you wanted to wake up as a robot you wouldn't pick Dr. Mario. Gibie. "All-range mode."
 * I would want Dr. Mario because I like Tetris and come on, it's flipping Mario! "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 01:58, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

06/07/12: OK, here is a very important question for us as a gaming community: now that E3 2012 is in full swing, what have you seen that you're most excited about?

06/08/12: What's your favorite controller to use, for any system? 06/09/12: Who's your favorite character from the Sony gaming universe?
 * Da insicksfor controller. (N64) It is my alltime favorite. Gibie. "I'll rule the galaxy!"
 * I'm actually a big fan of the Wii Remote in all its forms and accessories, because I find it to be a nice deviation from the norm. Although, I really like the PlayStation controller, since that's been with me for a long time. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 01:58, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

06/10/12: What would be your ideal world in Minecraft?

06/11/12: Who would win in a fight, Captain Falcon or Liu Kang?

06/12/12: If Star Fox 64 were a movie, would it be played by real humans or animated animals? 06/14/12: If you could eat garlic every day to turn into Wario, would you do it?
 * I think it would be cool to do it with animated animals that look like the games. It would also be cool to do for real humans, but I don't think it would work quite as well. Gibie Dude
 * Yeah, I think animation is the only believable way to do it. "Stop all the silliness!" Element Knight 375 04:26, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

06/15/12: If you could get Nintendo to bring a console back into production, along with new games, for a whole year, what would it be?
