And more of trying to shove crappy villain Sephiroth in everyone's face instead of Kefka who is the superior villain in every possible way and never gets mentioned or brought up when people think of "Squaresoft villain", like they should.
Uh, no. First off, Game Center CX is not a contestant game show. It is a tv series about video games. Retro video games. Nintendo games and Super Mario Bros games regularly make up entire episodes where the point of the entire series is that Arino, who is a former Japanese comedian, NOT a game show host, challenges himself to play a video game in a specific time limit (usually in under a day, but sometimes extends the challenges to multiple days).
In Japan, Shinya Arino himself has had a long and storied history of promoting Nintendo and other game companies with the games regularly featured, but is a HUGE figure i the retro gaming community in general. Far from "random", and very integral to Nintendo's interest as he has made a specific effort to play a great many Mario and Nintendo titles, and had greatly rejuvenated interest in Japan for retro gaming in a big way. It only makes complete sense for him to be featured, especially given, in Japan, he was one of the biggest sources for Japan's pre-release Super Mario Maker hype, featuring the game in several televised challenge attempts as previews.
And secondly, the Sky Pop from Super Mario Land is a plane, not a "spaceship"
How do you work for a site about Nintendo news again?
People need to stop whining about slopes. They're minor, don't add much of anything, and aren't a big deal at all.
It's like people whining about King K Rool in Smash. A bunch of hipsters who want something intentionally lame, unpopular and not useful just to hear themselves cry about not getting it. They pick the one thing that's they're not going to get, so they can have a reason to complain.
Stop it. They're never putting it in. Deal with it.
@riChchestM "bit mean"
Oh, suck it up. It's called parody. No one has the right to not be parodied.
Billy Mitchell is a notorious person who has absolutely all the difficulty in the world getting over himself, as it is. That kind of cartoonish personality is ripe for parody, which isn't friggin "mean" (seriously, are you an 8 year old or something?), it's exactly what it says it is... harmless parody. Protected under US law.
Mitchell must not have been selling enough hot sauce these days and just wanted to go after a parody for a cheap buck because A. he is still as much of a clueless, self-righteous man without a single funny bone in his entire body as always and B. needs a few dollars, it would seem, without doing anything.
I guess he ran out of arcade scores to forge with mysterious, doctored VHS tapes for 15 seconds of fame, and now feels the need to start frivolous lawsuits because a cartoon made fun of him. Oh boo hoo.
This isn't NEARLY the first time that a cartoon has parodied a real person or celebrity, and it sure won't be the last. A real man would have a thick enough skin to realize he's already perceived as a walking cartoon villain to begin with, and laugh it off. But Mitchell is, true to form, too stuck up to realize he's not special enough to NOT be made fun of.
Do not waste your time sticking up for this doofus. He needs to get over himself, get off his high horse and adopt a sense of humor. What a stuffed shirt, pretentious, insecure little man. Honestly, he was probably barely even worth the attention, as King Of Kong itself was probably the most deserved exposure he was ever going to get.
The one where Reggie just says outright: "You know what? SCREW all those Earthbound fans. Mother 3? More like "Never 3.", amirite? Haha. Buncha hipsters, the lot of them. Also, hey Bill... let's just delete ALL the Youtube videos of our games. Just delete all of them. They don't have the right to their own videos, editing, fanbases, subscribers, and community. We own those people and their entire lives, anyway. We can do whatever we want as long as it's our games they're playing? Let's start up some frivolous lawsuits that they can't pay for and just ruin them where they stand. Fair Use? Pfft. Please. An outdated concept for fools.
Also, let's ruin everyone's Christmas while we're at it. Are we still on track for withholding any development this year on any titles for the end of the year? Good, good. We'll show everyone the superiority of our brand by switching focus to Plastic Happy Meal Toys with dime-store in-game DLC attached, and bottom-tier moble game, micro-transaction riddled money vacuums, and going after our own fanbase on Youtube with all of the draconian subtlety of a Nazi Gestapo.
Finally, that NX prototype with no disc-based acces or third-party support and an obligatory super expensive series of vacuum-cleaner attachment-like forced gimmicks for an inflated price with virtually no decent launch titles? Delay that for about 4 and a half more years past the point where it'll already be relevant by the time it releases."
Yeah, let's just keep reporting on the progress of emulators for current gen game console systems, and specifically mention how close it's coming to running illegal dumps of commercial roms.
Seriously... the hell is this site even thinking putting this up on here??
It's not like it's difficult to fake this, either.
It's so easy to edit together an opening, then have it playing on the tv on a hidden DVD or something out of frame while pretending that the animation is legitmate, being timed up with him "turning it on".
As Vandy said, when you have to "call out the haters" it makes you look 3 times as suspicious and childish as you did, before. Like a smug brat or a troll, working extra hard to make yourself look superior and like an attention grabber..And I already heavily doubted this. I still think this is fake. And this proves literally nothing. He's still a liar and a fraud in my book. The fact that the disc won't actually load anything, is a dead give away. He literally just took all this time to animate a title screen. Big whoop. Prototypes don't work this way. Either the disc reader fully works as a functional protoype, or there would be no start-up AT ALL.
*comparison.. not "companion"... and "accusation", not "assassination".
Before you start trying to counter me about typos, by the way, auto-correct filled out the wrong words about 3 or 4 times. Yes, I know. My point still stands.
Wow. A lot of you people commenting here are incredibly ignorant and simple minded in your bashing and terrible, childish, ridiculous comparisons.
First off, you people actually saying that Miyamoto needs to go away and suddenly bashing a time-honored legend and genius visionary of the entire business over his suggestion given to the team of one really overrated first person shooter game need to reevaluate the self-centered, ignorant garbage you're spewing towards someone who has given this industry so much more than any of you ever have.
At the end of the day, these were mere suggestions on ONE game. OH GOD FORBID. It was simply Miyamoto's opinion on the development game at the time, that was new, uncharted territory for them, and Nintendo has long disagreed with over-the-top violence, you should know that was a thing before you start throwing your childish little insults and at least respect that.
To label him as irrelevant or useless for his fleeting opinion on ONE top, 18 years ago for one game, is incredibly short sighted, self-entitled, selfish and ignorant of all of you. Who the hell exactly, are any of you to judge? Not nearly as much as you think you are. Most of you sniveling little brats weren't even ALIVE in 1997 and have NO grasp on the situation as it was, yet you friggin' think you everything.
Violent first-person shooters were a new thing for Nintendo and given their stance on everything on the NES and SNES library before this, none of you should be as surprised or shocked as you're pretending to be, here. So you can ALL knock that off, RIGHT now.
Also, Nintendo is "4Kids"? Really? How stupid are you people? What a grossly idiotic, unfair, hideously inaccurate, simple-minded, childish, and ignorant assumption. Grow up, the lot of you. That's literally one of the single dumbest things i've ever heard that shouldn't even be commented on, really. Not the least of reasons being that 4Kids bashing is already so tired and old already, it's not even funny anymore.
This comparison is the ultimate in ignorance and stupidity to even attempt to make. All of you should be ashamed for even making it. 4Kids bashing is one of the most childish, simple-minded and pathetic of responses already, and it was annoying and got old at least a decade BEFORE they went out of business. So they altered some content of your animu to confirm to FCC broadcast regulations for children's programming. Oh boo hoo. Get over it. Half of the entitled weeaboos-by-proxy that cry about this to this day, never even TRY to look at the position they were in, because they "butchered" your precious "animu", despite trying desperately to appease tv watchdog groups who already saw and compared anime to "porn" and "violence", and turn a profit with series they were marketing to children in early, Saturday morning time slots on shows that originally depicted gruesome deaths, bloody violence and other FCC forbidden taboos like the glorification of tobacco and smoking in shows targeted at children and early teens. But they changed your precious animu to get it on mainstream tv oh noes so evil omg they aer teh devil boo hoo. Not only is this self-righteous, uneducated, and stupid, it's so old, irrelevant, tired, and cliched to keep whining about long after they've been gone, this kind of whining should have gone away a long time ago, they day they officially filed for chapter 11, and even stopped BEING a thing. Time to pull up your diapers and get over it, that was so long ago, that it's frankly embarrassing to keep hearing about it, let alone hear comparisons to things that logically go together like peanut butter and Salisbury steak, sputtered out from your barely working feeble minds as the first laughably lame comparison you could manage.
Nintendo is NOT the same thing. That is not even close to how they operate. That is not even close to how they do or run their business. There is literally no comparison. NONE. To even try to make that comparison, you have to be so incredibly ignorant of both the difficulties of network television and video game development, that to even TRY and make such a stupid, simple-minded, inaccurate, blatantly false assassination or comparison makes the majority of you look like weeby, stupid 8 year olds to even try.
The massive butthurt and whining, self-centered assumptions, stupid companions, ignorantly limited understandings, and bloated, defensive childish tantrum throwing in this comments over this, is HORRIBLY unfair and unbalanced in the wake of simple trivia about a small amount of worry and suggestions that Nintendo happened to give about the development of an incredibly violent game on their system, at a time that they've never done something like this, before.
You people are treating a tiny little trivial footnote and small development story about a decades old, and honestly generic, honestly overrated little shooter title that isn't even all that impressive today, that has aged rather poorly on top of that, into some sort of current events, capital offense committed by Nintendo to your personally shallow, fragile little snowflake, defensive elitist, entitled gamer egos.
You whiny little children didn't exhibit this kind of self-rightous tantrum throwing, entitled little hissyfits this much when you found out that Final Fantasy II had a "porn magazine" in it, Earthbound changed alcohol into coffee, Ice Climber turned seals into yeti's, Orcarina Of Time, one of the most praised and beloved of Nintendo's first party IP's had Ganon's red blood turned green for the US release, but THIS is the thing that gets your panties in tight enough of a wad to start bashing Miyamoto over or calling Nintendo "4Kids" because they merely SUGGESTED?
I said it before, and I'll gladly say it again. Grow up. The whole, whiny, ignorant, childish, blubbering, crybaby lot of you. This was meant as a funny little trivia story about what could have been, not some excuse for you to take your entitled little SJW-ish sniveling and worthless little insults towards an industry genius like Miyamoto and lob them at his face over something that's 18 years old already. Once again, and for added emphasis, grow up.
@Trikeboy People REALLY need to stop bringing up this "as long as you aren't making money off of it" fallacy. That has LONG been debunked as a complete and utter myth. Companies do not care in the slightest if something is non-profit or not. They still feel it is a threat to their IP, and will still shut it down without malice if and when they find out about it. This happens often, nearly all the time, and all projects such as this are considered to be appropriating and damaging to the Nintendo IP, and they won't hesitate to kill it. If they didn't destroy "Zelda Classic" it's almost 100% positive it is because they do not know about it, or hasn't warranted enough attention to put it into their sights.
Also, I know RPG's tend to have stupid and rediundant titles, but "The Legend Of Legacy"??? REALLLY?
It literally is calling itself "Legend Of A Bunch Of Legends?", and taking itself seriously?? If this was some strange parody or deconstruction of how redundant, boring and pandering RPG's are these days, a title that mindblowingly stupid might actually be funny, but since this appears to be a serious game taking itself seriously, it's beyond goranworthy at best.
Why did they even bother to release this in the US?
Better question, why does this even exist at all? Ugh. RPG's either need to get creative for once, and try to do something new instead of pandering to desperate people who will buy the same thing over and over and over again, or just admit that jRPG's haven't been relevant since Chrono Trigger and FInal Fantasy 6, and just pack it in, already.
It looks EXACTLY like every other handheld RPG in recent memory. Bravely Default, the chibi Final Fantasy cash-grabs.. I mean.. remakes, Dragon Quest 9, ect, ect.
Seriously, all of these bland looking copycat games are getting really old and diluting the RPG market, now. It's like all of these games are just slapping together the exact same thing, with the same bland art style, similar characters, similar stories, and deathly afraid of doing something new, aside from some wonky and inconsequential gimmick trying to turn "turn-based" on it's ear, by slightly changing how a single archaic mechanic operates, in a way that most people won't even notice, and calling it new.
This looks horridly dull and a boring rehash of every other game out there. Might as well call this "Bravely Quest Remake 19" for all this looks to have going for it. Meh.
These levels are incredibly obnoxious and have flat-out ruined this game. 100-Mario challenge, and trying random levels is completely broken thanks to these stupid things.
This entire game comes out and trolls who think they're clever but really, really are not, have literally destroyed the appeal of Mario Maker's concept.
@sketchturner "i don't play games for their storytelling."
Well, that's stupid. You should. You should appreciate it. And always demand the best from it. Pay attention to it. Respect that it's there and has reached the point of art, years ago. Video games are an entertainment medium, and for a very long time, story, elements, characterizations, plot, and many other things have not only been there from the very beginning, and always striving to get better, but is INTEGRAL to the entire medium and every bit as important as every other element to a game.
Also, i'm calling you out as a liar. You DO play games for story. Even if you don't know it, you do. Or am I to believe that you've never played either an RPG, an adventure game with a narrative in your entire life, never played a single player campaign in anything whether it's a platformer, a first person shooter, an adventure game, or anything with a story that has either affected or given a reason for the game and the characters you're playing as, or effected you in some way. Because if you have gone through every video game ever, neither playing it for those elements or noticing their importance, you're wrong.
The Last Of Us is a game that is critically accliamed for it's story, and if you played it you WOULD notice it and you WOULD continue to play to see what happens next. If you don't play video games for their story, then you sir, have never played Final Fantasy. Any of them. You've never played Chrono Trigger. You've never played any of the Legend Of Zelda games. That means you've never played Majora's Mask, Ocarina Of Time, Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword. It also means you've never played anything ranging from Metal Gear Solid, or God Of War, to a game where the game and it's narrative are interconnected but important. It means you've never played Super Metroid, or even so much as a game where the story is very simple but still integral to where you're going or why you're there, like Sonic 3 & Knuckles, for as little of a story as even a game like that, you're playing it just as much to show Knuckles that you're on his side, and recover the Master Emerald stolen by Dr Robotnik.Even if it's just a few cutscenes, THAT'S a story, and not only is it there, but while it will never win any awards, it dictates your experence every bit as much as the drive to "beat the game" is.
Even Donkey Kong, the game that started Nintendo's entire philopshy of their entire company's direction, was a hit and a success with gamers BECUASE of what set it apart from it's storyless "alien zappers" at the time... A STORY. WIth characters. One of the first of it's time.
If you don't play games at least, in equal part for their story, you sir, do not respect them, where they come from, what they can be,or what they are now. You do not deserve Nintendo, or Sony, or Microsoft, or anything that goes above the minimal level of a Newgrounds flash game, some Atari 2600 button masher, or some kind of bird, either Angry or Flappy. Good luck with those.
Story IS as important as Gameplay. The games know this. Gamers already know this. Remember this. Unless, for some reason, you're Roger Ebert's ghost or something. Then I guess you'll just never get it.
"hurr durr, i'm going to throw a party and make everyone think that i'm commented with Pokemon so that people will be so impressed and that I will make a whole ton of money by ripping off something I have no right to use the copyright for. What could go wrong??"
Pokemon company used lawsuit. It's effective.
"Oh no! TPC got wise to my scam and now is actually threatening me with paying for damages. Boo hoo hoo, woe is me. WAIT. I know... I'll ask everyone on the INTERNET to help me pay for my scam blowing up in my face. Those stupid TPC people will never be any of the wiser and I can have everyone else fix my horrible error in judgement without doing anything myself, AND break at least a dozen non-disclosure agreements AT THE SAME TIME. I am such a smart person. The Pokemon Company used "Withdraw Settlement" It's SUPER effective.
You know how I was saying in my last post on this, that he should have definitely served jail time for this? I sincerely hope this goes so much further to the point where he does.
Stupid people trying to get away with such an obvious ploy and digging themselves deeper and deeper by pretending to take responsibility for getting caught scamming by throwing even MORE scams and acting like a punk about it the entire time? PLEASE let this guy actually take this so far that he ends up ruining his whole life over this.
Seriously, I've never seen someone handle getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar quite THIS badly in a long time.
Like, hey dude, maybe your next step in the plan could be armed robbery to pay them. See how well THAT works out for you. Maybe he's actually stupid enough to try this, next.
Maybe next time, he'll think twice about scamming people and charging admission fee for unofficial events based on franchises he doesn't own and has no legal right to charge for.
I would have preferred a minimum of 10 years in prison, though. This is a slap on the wrist.

I said it before, and I'll gladly say it again. Grow up. The whole, whiny, ignorant, childish, blubbering, crybaby lot of you. This was meant as a funny little trivia story about what could have been, not some excuse for you to take your entitled little SJW-ish sniveling and worthless little insults towards an industry genius like Miyamoto and lob them at his face over something that's 18 years old already. Once again, and for added emphasis, grow up.

wait, sorry I meant "WITH malice". Sorry. Whatever,

Not "malice". That was a typo.
Re: Legend of Zelda Maker Fan Project is Currently in Development
@Trikeboy People REALLY need to stop bringing up this "as long as you aren't making money off of it" fallacy.
That has LONG been debunked as a complete and utter myth. Companies do not care in the slightest if something is non-profit or not. They still feel it is a threat to their IP, and will still shut it down without malice if and when they find out about it. This happens often, nearly all the time, and all projects such as this are considered to be appropriating and damaging to the Nintendo IP, and they won't hesitate to kill it. If they didn't destroy "Zelda Classic" it's almost 100% positive it is because they do not know about it, or hasn't warranted enough attention to put it into their sights.
Re: Video: Here's Some More Footage of The Legend of Legacy
Also, I know RPG's tend to have stupid and rediundant titles, but "The Legend Of Legacy"??? REALLLY?
It literally is calling itself "Legend Of A Bunch Of Legends?", and taking itself seriously?? If this was some strange parody or deconstruction of how redundant, boring and pandering RPG's are these days, a title that mindblowingly stupid might actually be funny, but since this appears to be a serious game taking itself seriously, it's beyond goranworthy at best.
Why did they even bother to release this in the US?
Better question, why does this even exist at all? Ugh. RPG's either need to get creative for once, and try to do something new instead of pandering to desperate people who will buy the same thing over and over and over again, or just admit that jRPG's haven't been relevant since Chrono Trigger and FInal Fantasy 6, and just pack it in, already.
Re: Video: Here's Some More Footage of The Legend of Legacy
"Fascinating art style?"
It looks EXACTLY like every other handheld RPG in recent memory. Bravely Default, the chibi Final Fantasy cash-grabs.. I mean.. remakes, Dragon Quest 9, ect, ect.
Seriously, all of these bland looking copycat games are getting really old and diluting the RPG market, now. It's like all of these games are just slapping together the exact same thing, with the same bland art style, similar characters, similar stories, and deathly afraid of doing something new, aside from some wonky and inconsequential gimmick trying to turn "turn-based" on it's ear, by slightly changing how a single archaic mechanic operates, in a way that most people won't even notice, and calling it new.
This looks horridly dull and a boring rehash of every other game out there. Might as well call this "Bravely Quest Remake 19" for all this looks to have going for it. Meh.
Re: Video: This Super Mario Maker Player Captures The Frustration of Surprise 'Don't Move' Stages
These levels are incredibly obnoxious and have flat-out ruined this game. 100-Mario challenge, and trying random levels is completely broken thanks to these stupid things.
This entire game comes out and trolls who think they're clever but really, really are not, have literally destroyed the appeal of Mario Maker's concept.
Re: Freedom Planet Bug Causes Screen Freezing Problems for Some Players
@sketchturner "i don't play games for their storytelling."
Well, that's stupid. You should. You should appreciate it. And always demand the best from it. Pay attention to it. Respect that it's there and has reached the point of art, years ago. Video games are an entertainment medium, and for a very long time, story, elements, characterizations, plot, and many other things have not only been there from the very beginning, and always striving to get better, but is INTEGRAL to the entire medium and every bit as important as every other element to a game.
Also, i'm calling you out as a liar. You DO play games for story. Even if you don't know it, you do. Or am I to believe that you've never played either an RPG, an adventure game with a narrative in your entire life, never played a single player campaign in anything whether it's a platformer, a first person shooter, an adventure game, or anything with a story that has either affected or given a reason for the game and the characters you're playing as, or effected you in some way. Because if you have gone through every video game ever, neither playing it for those elements or noticing their importance, you're wrong.
The Last Of Us is a game that is critically accliamed for it's story, and if you played it you WOULD notice it and you WOULD continue to play to see what happens next. If you don't play video games for their story, then you sir, have never played Final Fantasy. Any of them. You've never played Chrono Trigger. You've never played any of the Legend Of Zelda games. That means you've never played Majora's Mask, Ocarina Of Time, Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword. It also means you've never played anything ranging from Metal Gear Solid, or God Of War, to a game where the game and it's narrative are interconnected but important. It means you've never played Super Metroid, or even so much as a game where the story is very simple but still integral to where you're going or why you're there, like Sonic 3 & Knuckles, for as little of a story as even a game like that, you're playing it just as much to show Knuckles that you're on his side, and recover the Master Emerald stolen by Dr Robotnik.Even if it's just a few cutscenes, THAT'S a story, and not only is it there, but while it will never win any awards, it dictates your experence every bit as much as the drive to "beat the game" is.
Even Donkey Kong, the game that started Nintendo's entire philopshy of their entire company's direction, was a hit and a success with gamers BECUASE of what set it apart from it's storyless "alien zappers" at the time... A STORY. WIth characters. One of the first of it's time.
If you don't play games at least, in equal part for their story, you sir, do not respect them, where they come from, what they can be,or what they are now. You do not deserve Nintendo, or Sony, or Microsoft, or anything that goes above the minimal level of a Newgrounds flash game, some Atari 2600 button masher, or some kind of bird, either Angry or Flappy. Good luck with those.
Story IS as important as Gameplay. The games know this. Gamers already know this. Remember this. Unless, for some reason, you're Roger Ebert's ghost or something. Then I guess you'll just never get it.
Re: The Pokémon Company Withdraws Settlement in Lawsuit Over Copyright Infringement
hahahahahahahaha.
No sympathy from me.
"hurr durr, i'm going to throw a party and make everyone think that i'm commented with Pokemon so that people will be so impressed and that I will make a whole ton of money by ripping off something I have no right to use the copyright for. What could go wrong??"
Pokemon company used lawsuit. It's effective.
"Oh no! TPC got wise to my scam and now is actually threatening me with paying for damages. Boo hoo hoo, woe is me. WAIT. I know... I'll ask everyone on the INTERNET to help me pay for my scam blowing up in my face. Those stupid TPC people will never be any of the wiser and I can have everyone else fix my horrible error in judgement without doing anything myself, AND break at least a dozen non-disclosure agreements AT THE SAME TIME. I am such a smart person.
The Pokemon Company used "Withdraw Settlement" It's SUPER effective.
You know how I was saying in my last post on this, that he should have definitely served jail time for this? I sincerely hope this goes so much further to the point where he does.
Stupid people trying to get away with such an obvious ploy and digging themselves deeper and deeper by pretending to take responsibility for getting caught scamming by throwing even MORE scams and acting like a punk about it the entire time? PLEASE let this guy actually take this so far that he ends up ruining his whole life over this.
Seriously, I've never seen someone handle getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar quite THIS badly in a long time.
Like, hey dude, maybe your next step in the plan could be armed robbery to pay them. See how well THAT works out for you. Maybe he's actually stupid enough to try this, next.
Re: The Pokémon Company Sues Fan for Copyright Infringement, Demands $4,000 in Damages
Good.
Maybe next time, he'll think twice about scamming people and charging admission fee for unofficial events based on franchises he doesn't own and has no legal right to charge for.
I would have preferred a minimum of 10 years in prison, though. This is a slap on the wrist.
