Re: Should the gamepad be "abandoned"???

theblackdragon

Doesn't anyone remember the DS? those early DS games generally feature little to no real use of the second screen — M&L:PiT is a prime example, where you use the touchscreen once in the entire game for the absolute silliest thing. the microphone was generally about as useless. It was only after a year or two in that games really started making great use of the beyond-GBA features of the device. Devs are still feeling out the gamepad and how to make the best use of it. i don't really expect anything mindblowing involving the gamepad to hit until at least next year; until then, we'll get probably minimal to forgettable use of the thing at best.

Re: We need an anti-troll measure, little and fun

theblackdragon

@Araknie: In terms of profanity, I've got seventeen instances from you since our filter was implemented this past May. We post little notes every time we remove it from everyone's posts here at NL, and when that doesn't seem to work, we move to a temp-ban 'wake-up call' — which is what happened in your situation. Profanity is an easy thing to moderate, it's very cut-and-dry as opposed to someone who may or may not be trolling.

As for the situation at hand, while we'd love it if everyone here were to love Nintendo, we do not require that of our users. So long as they're not insulting other users, escalating arguments to a personal level, using profanity, or breaking any of our other Rules, they're in the clear (until they make that fatal slip — don't worry, i've got my eye on more than a few people, it's just they've kept their noses clean is all :3). We have to give people enough rope to hang themselves. If you feel a given user has gone too far, by all means please use that Report button and we'll take a look at the situation, but if a day passes and nothing has happened, we've likely concluded that no action is necessary on our part — you're welcome to check up on things via Contact Form at that point if you have any questions regarding our decision process.

Whatever happens, whether we delete the comment(s) in question, edit them, step into the thread ourselves to calm things down, or just leave things be, at that point it falls to you to do the mature thing and ignore these people with whom you disagree as opposed to lashing out at them with insults and/or profanity (thus putting you in violation of our Rules). We do apologize if the idea of having to ignore people and/or opinions you don't like bothers you, but a community made up of people who only think alike would be a very boring place indeed. We prefer to err on the side of the occasional debate (provided our Rules are respected of course :3).

Playing the Game Normally. That gets 'em every time.

The best way to troll is by enjoying something that someone else (for whatever reason) does not want you to enjoy.

Therefore, go play some games instead of inventing ways to harass people online. You'll be trolling people in spirit, I promise.

(a) You mean 'Armsthrift', literally 'arms' + 'thrift' — the idea of being careful with one's weapons to the point of extending their usable lifespan. 'Armshrift' is not a word.
(b) Not every character can learn Armsthrift.

Seriously, it's hard to choose a 'least favorite' weapon, i know as well as you do that they're all great fun in their own way when put into the right hands. However, if i absolutely, positively had to choose, for me it'd be the glass ones — that's all i was saying.

Re: Pokemon 6th Gen Trade/Battle Requests

theblackdragon

Hey guys, be careful — when you @ someone (e.g. @TrevorS4Kicks, where their username turns into a clickable link to their profile here at NL), that user will have an e-mail sent to their inbox letting them know someone mentioned their username in a comment. If you quote a post with two other users talking to each other via @ mentions, you'll be sending e-mails to both of them even though you may not be talking to one of them. If you're quoting another user's post to reply to it here in the thread, please edit out any @ mentions to unrelated users; let's be excellent to one another and not fill each other's inboxes with what will amount to useless spam. Thanks in advance! :3

Re: The REAL Story of Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA)

theblackdragon

I'm not sure what's going on in here, but if it's the original history of SMB2 you're after, the game was actually released first in Japan as Doki Doki Panic — you're right in that it had originally been pitched as a SMB game, but SMB2(JP) had already been released, so they went ahead and used the pitch for DDP instead (as part of their contract with some company — DDP is technically a licensed title, not Nintendo's own IP iirc). Then, after making the (mistaken) decision that SMB2(JP) would be too hard for western players, they retooled DDP into SMB2(US) for release stateside, and it was so popular they wound up bringing it back to Japan as Super Mario USA.

Hope this clears everything up for you :3
