Time to boot this up again

@Maschinenmensch i still have my original VHS copy

and i brought it on blu-ray too

Unpopular Opinion but i actually enjoy the Super Mario Bros movie, yeah it's a bit of a mess but it's an enjoyable mess

at least to me

as long as they are still going forward with having it all about influencers and streamers then i don't care what happens behind the scenes, i won't be watching it

@DrDaisy i must be one of the few people who is ok with the redub, i think the original is only so popular because of it;'s eghh "meme" value (i bloody hate it when games get popular because of memes)

@DrDaisy be honest though, dressing Alucard up as Mario or Link would be pretty cool

@TheWingedAvenger i still play Rebirth but then again i still have my Wii

game is awesome but i agree they need to re-release all the classic games on modern systems, the collection released last year was a great start that they failed to capitalise on

well i still have my original one BUT if they released a new version that could play NES game cart but output via HDMI so it's better on modern TV's and with some of the other things like save states and the like i would buy one

but i wouldn't buy a carbon copy of the original

of course Nintendo missed a trick with the mini by not putting a digital store on it so we can buy more games

i have it on PS1, i have it on PSP/Vita, i have it on XB360,/XB1, i have it on PS4 i have it on PS3/PSP/Vita (via digital version of the PS1 release) and i would love it on Switch but no way in hell will i buy it on mobile

gaming on mobile (and i use that term loosely) is horrible for games that were NOT specifically designed for it

@Rafie well some game play has been popping up and he sounds really good in the role although i'm not sure one game is enough to make a proper judgement though, i think we will have to wait for a few more games or maybe even another film or TV show until we can get a full idea about it

@SquallLeonhart86 johnny yong bosch AKA the second Black Power Ranger AKA Ichigo in Viz Media's dub of Bleach

@Rafie yeah that first part wasn't for you sorry

as for the investigation

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-07-29/mignogna-deposition-the-funimation-investigation/.149250

it clearly states Sony did the investigation and i'll post a qoute here for ease

"The decision was the result of an investigation by Sony Picture's executive director of employee relations Tammi Denbow that began on January 22"

@Rafie he wasn't sacked he is an independent voice actor like a lot of people who voice for funimation that's why some of them show up in Viz Media dubs for example, they just chose not to hire him on future products, there's a difference, he was sacked from RWBY though

and it was Sony who did the internal investigation into him and decided that funimation will no longer be using him, funimation broke the news but it was Sony's decision at the end of the day

anyway trying to get this back on topic as the mods don't seem to care but FighterZ had a update that adds the new Data to the game (although you can't download Super Broly yet) and i find it odd that they didn't bother changing the Old Broly voice

forgetting all the drama for now the character has been recast so you would think for consistency they would update the old one too but they didn't so this means that there are 2 Broly's in the same game and each have a different voice

that's just odd and in my opinion a little lazy

@OrganSeller nah that's Vegeta

@Kamen-Rider-555 you say that as a joke BUT now Disney own 20th Century Fox they actually own some distribution rights to DBZ movies AND own the rights to produce a live action one (and possibly even an animated one, imagine if Pixar made a DBZ movie)

so you could say that Broly is a Disney character

@MegaVel91 while this doesn't say that him not turning up was the reason it does clearly state he was not present for the hearing

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-09-06/mignogna-civil-case-against-voice-actress-jamie-marchi-dismissed/.150828

as for the final ruling well that information is here

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-27/judge-rules-vic-mignogna-must-pay-usd238042-to-defendants-in-lawsuit/.153749

@nessisonett don't bother with em, he or she has a Broly and Vic avatar so he or she wont listen to any other side or any other point of view

best to just drop it now and leave em be

i figured he was going to do it, he did replace him as Sabo in One Piece after all so it makes sense

on a side note if i'm honest Vic didn't really do that great a job in the movie, it's decent but there were time you could tell he just either couldn't or didn't want to do it properly, just look at the "scream" when Broly is powering up to his maximum power, it's just off and doesn't match what's going on in the shot so i think getting someone new is a good thing and JYB is a good voice actor, just look at Bleach for the example

@NIN10DOXD @arekdougy @PaperLucario i don't think we will ever know what really went on behind the scenes but as far as i'm aware Vic did a counter claim and it got thrown out of court so to me that says he did do something (he even said so himself at one point, apologising for his behavior and you don't do that if you never did anything) and as for those so called "leaks" those were at least 8 years old, had been leaked before and ALL the people involved had already been disciplined by both funimation AND Toei, plus it was a private recording of a fanfic, should they have done it, no of course not but it wasn't done maliciously and it was Sony (funimation's parent company) who decided to end the contract with Vic not funimation themselves

as for the voice i wouldn't be surprised if they just used archive recordings from the Broly movie, XenoVerse 2 and other games as well, they have enough of them after all and it wouldn't be the first time they did it just look at Ultimate Tenkaichi back on the PS3/360, there was a lot of reused sounds in that, in fact you can even hear the characters such as Gohan and Frieza switch between their old DBZ voices and their Z Kai voices

but in the end neither side covered themselves with glory in this one, it was a huge public mess not only because of their behavior but also because of the behavior of the "fans", for example threatening Monica Rial with rape and physical assault because she accused him was a terrible thing for people to do, is it no wonder she flew off the deep end?

get an animated Mario Movie out that will grab their attention maybe then parents would be more willing to let their kids play Nintendo

i feel gaming gets a bad rep because whenever it's in the news it's for something like violence, sex or the whole lootbox thing, it's only a small side of it but unfortunately it paints the entire industry with the same brush and makes it all look bad

but i guess that's all news does now a days only shows the bad and sensualizes it, anything for the clicks hey

@Rayquaza2510 oh look another person not letting someone else have an opinion just because it differs from their

first back inb thoses days, this is a new game so how the hell does "back in those days" cover that

second the laws in Japan has changed and now it's 16+ not 13+

third it doesn't matter if it's a game it's still kid ffs and also the rating board has NOTHING to do with what goes in a game, they just give it a rating based on what's in a game it IS in fact up to publishers and console manufactures to censor games IF they need to

fourth i'll comment if i bloody well want too that's what a open forum is for, if they don't want people commenting and sharing their views then they shouldn't have a comment section

and why the hell should i need proof that oversexualization of young girls is wrong THEY ARE YOUNG GIRLS how is this so hard to grasp for some people, it doesn't matter what country it's made in if they plan on releasing it in other countries then YES they should modify it to be in line with their laws and sensibilities

but yes i will grab my drink and stop commenting because i just simply don't understand how people are angry some one said "no" to having this kind of content of their system, it's theirs and they can do what the hell they want with it, if they don't want a game or if they want it censored then that's their prerogative

@JamesJose7 no i'm not all i'm saying is they have more bases to cover

and like i have already said in the post above yours i DO believe censorship is wrong BUT i also think it's wrong to put underage kids in sexual situations for entertainment

@GameOtaku that's always been the case though, blood and violence is fine but show a little skin and the parents throw a hissy fit

just look at films and TV, someone getting blown up is fine but show a little side boob and suddenly it's torches and pitchforks

but please don't misunderstand i DO believe censorship is wrong BUT i also think it's wrong to put underage kids in sexual situations for entertainment

@JamesJose7 Sony introduced a new policy across ALL their entertainment mediums, yes it affects a few games and ONLY a few mind you (Catherine Full Body for example has NO censorship) because it was a blanket policy for the film branch of Sony but it covered every section of Sony Entertainment including Sony Computer Interactive

people forget that unlike MS or Nintendo, Sony ISN'T just computer games it has music, TV and films that it also makes so something like this covers ALL that

and besides they seem to have let up a bit since they first implemented it

but i still stand by that censoring underage girls isn't an issue for me, i don't get how people are angry that they can't make her skin look glossy or bounce her boobs about

OH and also even now in Japan they are reviewing the laws on underage representation so thing like "Lolis" could become a thing of the past

it's NEVER right to sexualize underage kids, calling them Lolis doesn't matter they are underage and that's that but if someone "enjoys" looking at young girls in risque situations then they have issues

@GameOtaku that is true i suppose BUT you also have to remember that depending on where your European head office is you have to abide by different laws, that's why for example DMC5 is uncensored everywhere apart from on PS4 in Europe

that's not just Sony that's EU regulations too (in case your wondering as XBOX's head office is actually in America they don't have to censor it)

@GameOtaku so instead of a Ninja School it's a Ninja College, that still works

the point is people are moaning because Sony censored sexualization underage girls

that's UNDERAGE, i can't believe people are complaining because they CAN'T virtually fondle a 15 year old

@JamesJose7 and i agree with that but come there would be no issue if he just made the girls 18+ but the fact they are 16 and under is what caused the issue, sexualaization of underage girls is NEVER a good thing and THAT should be censored

@Joeynator3000 Sony censored underage girls in overly sexual situations

what's wrong with that?

if the director is unhappy he can't make a 14 year old look nude in the bath then that's on him

@Joeynator3000 so Sony doesn't deserve the remake because the original was on DS?

ok then lets try something

"why does Nintendo get the Remaster of FFVIII, the original game was on the freaking PS1 >.<"

see how dumb that sounds

honestly i have the Slime controller on PS2 and it's really not great ti use, it's awkward and uncomfortable and this one looks basically the same just with Nintendo markings so i can't recommend it as a controller, as a strange collectors piece though then maybe

@TeslaChippie i know it was a joke on how Nintendo never lower the prices of their games

maybe Nintendo should have more sales then instead of keeping their games at full price for decades at a time

@BlackenedHalo true but you can see extra detail on the wall to the right AND there are more and better shadows so i think it's safe to say some work has been done of them but as for how much, who knows

and i admit the image posted here is a bit small but the original is bigger and you can see more detail in it

@Onion well they are using the original PSX music so it should be fine

@BlackenedHalo and give you access to higher level Magic too

@RazumikhinPG well you can kind of see them in this pic

and there has been some work done but that is just one picture so you can't say if that's representative of the entire game but chances are they are

@Marshmallow you know they are all teenagers right?

@Anti-Matter yeah but that little kid in the purple top that keeps showing up is his fayth so who knows but the Bahamut we see is a kid so i think that's his true form besides aint the fayths people turned to stone part way through transforming into a Aeon because that's what the statues look like so i think he was a kid but as he transformed his body aged

@Anti-Matter you know what's sadder, the one for Bahamut was just a kid

FFX had a lot of sad themes

@BlackenedHalo so could Yuna in FFX but that's because they were part of the narrative just like in FFVIII (yes i know they were in IX too but they were meant to only be accessible later in the game also fun fact if you have the patience to do it you can actually level up Dagger when she first joins the party and use summons then too, they were only locked out because she didn't have enough MP) where as in most other FF's they were just an ability

@BlackenedHalo none of the other games restrict summons (well maybe XV) so why should VIII?, yeah they don't need MP but they have a summon time and a life bar, your summon can actually be KO'd before you even get to summon it if your not careful so it's not like they are insta wins or break the game

"That is a request that we hear often"

yeah from share holders who only care about money but not from gamers

@kuromantic because that would mean having to redo every CG movie and that would not only add to the time to make the game but also the cost

and it looks AMAZING!, i'll be getting this on PS4 AND XB1 plus once i get my Switch i will be getting it on there too

I LOVE FFVIII and if supporting this means the possibility of getting more classic FF Remasters then i will buy every version i can

and this is why you should never limit yourself to just one system or one family of systems, you miss out on so much

thing is it's not about what he wants, or even what gamer's want, it's whether or not they can even get it to run on the Switch

of course i would love this to come to the Switch but not if it means compromising the game to do it

that is definitely interesting, i would finally be able to unhook my old CRT TV then as my N64 is pretty much the only system still hooked up to it

SO getting those if they get released over here of course, importing those will cost a bomb i reckon

and another reason why i prefer Physical over Digital

@The-Chosen-one i'll be watching the XBOX one because, well i own an XBOX as well as a PS4 but they will also be showing multi platform games there to
