hey Joey_Roddy, this kind of thing is what we have the Online Gaming section of the forums for. Each game has its own thread, and you're welcome to look through, find the game you'd like to drum up business for, and post your FC in the appropriate thread. If you've searched that section of the forums (just replace the 'insert your text here' with whatever it is you're looking for) and cannot find a thread for the game you want to play, please then feel free to make a brand new thread for the game you'd like to play.

If it's just your main Wii FC you want to share, please feel free to use this existing thread. You're also more than welcome to put your FCs for whatever game(s) you're currently playing into your signature if you like. Thank you, and welcome to Nintendo Life! :3

@syko: go back and give the first page of this thread a once-over... we've already been through this portion of the discussion, and that's what Oddy's referring to. :3

... wow.

@MagicLink95: er... the game isn't canceled, far from it really — it's long since been released for Steam. :3

they'd still have to get it ESRB rated, though. weren't they complaining about that for Nintendo's approval process?

edit: actually, here's a quite relevant article about this game and its potential rating as a barrier. if it scored an AO, it'd be a no-go for Sony as well (unless they've since relaxed their policies regarding third-party AO titles).

@kurtasbestos: do you have a screenshot (well, a picture taken of your screen, anyway) showing that amazing score, by any chance? holy cow!

there we are. i'm not seeing this on the US side, though, so maybe it's Canada-specific? personally, if i were Canadian, i'd rather have seen a rebate for the next 3DS game I buy — i've already got the system, lol. oh well~

@KingMike: manual scans aren't against the rules so far as i know. :3

Either way, congrats on finding what you needed, FonistofCruxis. Enjoy your game! :3

no, you did it to have us stroke your ego and tell you that you were right. please, the apple vs. buttons argument has been done to death here, I'm afraid, so let's not start that up again if you please. thank you!

haha, it's no big deal. i've loved this game ever since the first time i played it, i know it in and out like the back of my hand. if you need help with anything, let me know :3

@Joshers: the way I play, I consider 'at level' to be where I can go through an area and each of the characters in my party will be able to wipe out a normal enemy in one turn with physical attacks. when I reach that point, I know the next boss will be a snap — it's probably overkill, but i've played the game so many times through that it's the habit i've gotten into, lol. again, if you make a point to defeat every single enemy you come across, even if you go through the same area twice to go back and get something you missed, it's easy to keep your level up.

To be honest, though, I don't really know exactly what level that is at Booster's Tower, but I do know the Tower is a great place to sit and level if I'm not quite there yet because there are points where enemies just scroll across the screen and you can either choose to fight them or avoid them — they literally come to you, so you can just keep pressing A (and don't forget those Timed Hits!) and rake in the EXP that way if you want.

Just remember that your EXP earned is the same for everyone in your group, you don't have to actually have them in your party at all. compared to other RPGs, it actually makes things a lot easier for you :3

also, if it's just EXP you want, and you want it now now now now nowwwwwwww, whenever you come across an area with a Starman and a bunch of enemies to defeat (and there's one coming up after the Booster events are over and done with), make sure you save beforehand — but remove all your equipment first. then go ahead and get the star, kill all the enemies and rake in the EXP, and when that's over, find an enemy and let it kill you (WITHOUT saving beforehand). When you Game Over in SMRPG, you don't lose any EXP and you respawn at the last Save Point you used, so that Starman will be there for you to get again (since you saved before using it) — as well as all those enemies to defeat with it. You can level up very, very quickly with that cheat if you don't want to go about it the legit way. :3

Just hold on to them for now. A little further on, you'll come to a point where you can use them for some much nicer items than what they're trying to sell you down at Frogfucius' place. :3

Booster Tower is a great place to level if you want to hang out for a bit and get ahead, lol. It's one of my favorite areas of the game, and then what happens afterward is great too, but i won't spoil it for you :3

If you go back to that waterfall, you can do that sequence a few times over for Frog Coins. Also, do your best to find all the hidden treasure boxes along your way, and if you find that Jam in the Sewers for Frogfucius (i forget when exactly you get the chance to do that), he gives you a few Frog Coins too iirc. so long as you don't spend any of them on the BS items the tadpoles sell, you should have Coins enough to nab that badge in no time.

To be honest, though, with the level cap at 30, it's not hard to get up there by the end of the game, so that double-exp badge is pretty useless IMO. Just make sure to fight every single enemy you come across, no running away, and you'll either be at or very close to 30 by the time you battle Smithy.

Please feel free to ask your question in the aforementioned thread, yuuds. Thank you! :3

That's it. I'm either going to have a coronary or start banning people if I don't get out of this topic, and so I wash my hands of it.

you're attempting to exonerate them for their lack of action by attempting to pass this off as a sound business decision. you may as well be defending what happened, IMO, because you're trying to put them in the right on some level for not having done a damn thing to stop what went on, which is absolutely abhorrent.

@Jumbif, et.al: just to be clear, I have not deleted anyone's opinion from this thread. I've edited out two profanities and one slur iirc, and that's been it.

@shingi, @dan: ah, that makes sense. damn

does anyone know what GAME did to piss all these publishers off? it seems every time i look up at my screen there's another announcement re: a game they're not stocking. i feel bad for the retail workers caught up in this mess, hope there won't be too many layoffs

wait, 'but'? there's a 'but' here? there should be no 'but' behind this statement — the people tuning in are the ones already looking to purchase this sort of game anyway. it's already going to sell like hotcakes; what the hell does Capcom need this competition/livestream for? it's fluff, or at least that's what it should've been.

]you just said "But Capcom are a business, and this channel is promoting their game." how is that not justifying Capcom's lack of action beyond their disclaimer statement?

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here, but considering he was allowed to continue beyond Day 1 obviously unhindered, I think that speaks volumes regarding what 'extent' Capcom 'dealt with the matter' — e.g. they didn't. Certainly not to my satisfaction.

Good to know. It's definitely affected mine, however.

as i said in our own article comment thread, saw it coming a mile away.

if the fish is edible, why not? fish are delicious.

Wait... does anyone know for absolute sure if they're just sponsoring it, or do they really have a hand in what's going on? this article here says they're 'collaborating' with iPlayWinner, Team Sp00ky, and 'working closely with' IGN to bring it to the masses. Even IGN's announcement article calls it 'Capcom's Cross Assault'. I like how they make it look like they own the place — up until the point where it's time to deny all association with remarks made by the players but let them keep doing their thing unchecked.
_{... and with that, i'm done for the night. gotta calm the rage so i can get some sleep D:}
