@CowCatcher I agree, unless there’s a lot not visible here or it’s just bad angles, it looks really small. The artistry is great, but seems like something you’d be done with in two hours
Remember how Mario and Sonic at the olympics is now just Sonic at the olympics? Seemed weird at first but now it makes sense. Sega and Nintendo will once again be in direct competition.
Badge arcade ticks me off. Why the heck didn't they decide to let us TRADE badges via at least local wireless, maybe even wifi. Gifting badges would be an awesome option to. Without those features, I really don't care about collecting them. I'll get just enough to fill my folder covers, then I'm done.
@Kirk Similar in the way that they're both Viking style ships in black and white, on the water. Regardless, it's moot as you said since they're only concerned with the name. Since that's the case, the movie company won't win... Hopefully anyway.
The logos are very similar. Especially if you flip the game studio's logo. They should change the logo. Valhalla movie studio however, can't own the name Valhalla exclusively.
It just shows that investors are fickle babies. Mii games are (perhaps secretly to people other than us) one of Nintendo's biggest selling IPs. The Mii brand will bring them money on iOS.
Persue legal action against him, but everyone is making and selling unlicensed T shirts with Pokemon on them. No legal action taken in clear IP theft. Pokemon shuffle is getting deleted from my iPhone now, and I won't buy a Pokemon game for my kids for Christmas. Take that as my form of protest.
He's almost there. Good for him. This lawsuit is a black eye for Pokemon. The guy wasn't getting rich. He was celebrating Pokemon. Gotta catch nothing ever again.
I understand the complaints from many of you. "Those rich actors don't deserve more money!" I can honestly say that most voice actors are not "rich" by anyone's measure. I am a voice actor. I've been in the industry for almost five years. I've finally broken into the territory where I almost do not need a second job to support my family. When you read a part for an extended period of time, your vocal cords become raw. Especially when you're performing an unnatural dialect, or many of them. Our money is made by continually auditioning for new roles and obtaining them. I can't tell you how many auditions I've had to tell my agent to decline because my voice needed rest. Most roles pay what's called "scale". It's kind of like minimum wage for actors. In many cases you'll make around 100 bucks per gig. It depends on the legnth of job of course. The average full time, seasoned, in demand voice actor often earns around 45,000 dollars. Last time I checked, that is not remotely rich. I do mostly commercial and corporate work, but I do know guys who regularly perform in video games. The work is often demanding on vocal cords and reward you with scale, and not a higher wage. I've also heard reports of some companies trying to use an actor's voice for multiple projects, while only paying them once. That's really not cool. What I f you painted a picture for someone who paid you five bucks for it? What if that person turned around, copied it a thousand times and charged 20 bucks a piece for them. You'd probably think that was unfair.
You'd think a cheater would want to keep a lower profile. Maybe come in safely in 1000th place. Coming in first just guarantees you'll be banned in the near future.
@Inferno It's quite silly. They start heading this way, stop at Milwaukee, and run to the east coast. Really? We have awesome venues that would perfectly suit the occasion. The state theater. The ordway. Come on already!
One thing that Nintendo really needs is a global eye. Japan produces amazing games, but they need to realize that Nintendo means a lot to the world, not just their island. By tearing down the old world view and adapting, they will thrive in our global markets. Being overprotective leads to lack of use, leads to public forgetfulness. Give the world markets what they want and you win the day.
I bought the bundle last week for 10 bucks. How do I get the keys for the three added games? They're not automatically in my key history on humble bundle.
