I definitely hope it's another DVD set. Being on netflix doesn't mean anything to those of us outside the US. e: Actually I just wiki'd them and apparently they are in a few other countries too. Just not mine

Yeah, the netflix/streaming idea seems far more plausible. I'm just curious as to what we could get for episodes over here at this point, since it seems that we may not be able to get stuff from Capcom or Nintendo or even Konami now, for that matter.

Netflix seems unlikely, but something like Crunchyroll would make tons of sense. Besides anime I know they do live action Japanese and Korean shows so it's not without precedent.

I hope it's not Netflix or any other streaming service, to be honest-- I intend to buy the DVDs at some point but I can't afford the $20 or so a month it'd take to bump up my connection to be able to handle streaming at any decent resolution.

I believe most people here can vouch for their reputation and I import games from them once in a while. From a few pages back, but thanks for this Also... gently caress. That's too much money to spend on FAN GOODSU Maybe I'll dig around for some junk of my own to sell off to fund it though, that way I can justify it as exchanging one form of wasted money for another  I have closets full of nerd joy that I no longer need or care about.

Strange that they're airing a TV special on it now. Maybe the DVD is coming out... While I'm posting, I want to mention that there's some extremely text heavy episodes in the works right now so it's probably going to be a little while before the next release.

If you haven't seen that movie, do so! It's Fun For the Whole Family! (Seriously, you can bring your gf/wife/kids and they'll all have a good time, or you can watch it with some gaming nerds and laugh at all the references).

To be fair, that poster/title is totally accurate to the amount of time and effort that movie spends on Sugar Rush. Zangief, Robotnik and Sonic et al. in the corner there almost going "hey guys were in it too!" is pretty hilarious.

The White Dragon posted:It's absolutely great, there's some minor references here and there with one major atmospheric borrowing, but it's basically a Pixar Movie made by Disney that happens to have a couple video game characters in it. I do, however, recall it having been very disappointing to certain vocal dickbags who went to the theater expecting it to be a memefest of nintendos, so you kinda have a point there. ...that movie was everything I ever wanted.  nothing is taking that from me.So okay yeah I HAVE to hear Arino talk about Wreck-It Ralph NOW. Obeast posted:I guess it's not a big surprise since in the newest episode of GCCX (Space Hunter), Arino went to Disney's Japan HQ where he talked to some guy who worked there (I assume he's either a big-wig at Disney Japan or he was one of the head translators for the movie). He even got to play an actual Fix-It Felix cabinet that Disney sent out to different places to promote the movie.

"Real nerds" don't like Big Bang Theory, but nobody with any taste likes Big Bang Theory either, because Big Bang Theory is as close as you can get to objectively unfunny. It's a giant pile of festering turds with the sole redeeming feature of revealing how terrible nerds are by inviting them to make the comparison to blackface. Wreck-it Ralph, on the other hand, is a cute, funny, and well-written movie that I could actually go on about for some length, but suffice it to say that it's certainly worth renting from your outlet of choice and having a view. I say that as someone who can't even THINK of getting into the Scott Pilgrim series because I feel intensely uncomfortable when I'm being pandered directly to.

Wreck-it Ralph owns and it's definitely worth a watch. It isn't "game reference: the movie" and what references there are aren't groan worthy. Even the rest of the product placement was the Good Kind, where its actually incorporated into jokes, and not all the main characters all drinking sprite in every scene with the logos all strangely facing the camera. It is a well written and well acted movie. Go rent it

I got a Famicom power pad, and due to the show, I knew one game I needed to get was Takeshi's Castle. Now I wanna rewatch the episode and see if I can beat it too. Maybe study arino's technique. e: Arino using the Power Pad with his shoes on. oof. the poor mat. Mace Bacon fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Mar 16, 2013 |

My friend joked that the posters for Wreck-it-Ralph were so shamelessly misleading to get those nerd views that it might as well have one that's just a poster of Sonic with the title of the movie. Imagine the anger of your hardcore Sonic fan when he finds out he's been tricked into seeing something that isn't awful or embarassing at all.

FinalGamer posted:Fix-It Felix Jr. cab Someone sold the one they had on eBay a few months back for I think $7,500. Disney made something like 12 of them, I guess at least one made it to Japan (or they made a new batch for that market). The White Dragon posted:Oh, okay, there we go. That makes sense, then; I love learning about the extranational localizations of movies. Movie titles are my litmus test to find out how much the localization team gave a poo poo about what they were doing, especially when the title employs a play on words of some kind or some kind of reference to an expression or other things; a good translation can bring new layers and perspective and, when it's done well, leaves me feeling like I had a richer overall experience. It's a similar kick to watching a movie with a good commentary in some cases. I try to watch translations I can understand as much as possible, especially if the movie/TV Show/Video game is originally in a language I don't understand, since different translations can have different perspectives on particular things (or it can clue you in that one of the translations is based off the other and a weaker 2nd+ generation translation). Japan is really big on referencing Japanese media as much as possible; Napoleon Dynamite was called "Bus Otoko" to capitalize on the recent popularity of "Densha Otoko" at the time, earlier in this thread (or maybe the previous one, it was a while ago) we had a conversation about "My Neighbor Seinfeld".

There's a fix-it-felix ios game too. It's pretty much identical to the game in the movie and I think it's free if you want to try it.

You can play Fix-It-Felix Jr here: http://disney.go.com/games/play3/?content=2006061#/games/play3/&content=2006061 It's the same as the iOS game and the same as the arcade cabinet. We actually got one of the cabinets at my place of work for a few weeks while the movie was out. They essentially took old Donkey Kong cabinets and fit them with new graphics and a PC (likely running a variation of the flash game). They even had spider-webbing on the acrylic over the controls, dings that made the thing look like had spent 30 years in service, and ripped up old repair stickers. They are awesome little marketing gadgets and I actually played ours a quite a bit because it was super addicting.

I just added season 17 (empty for now, since all we know is that episode 1 is going to be a Disney game). Also uploaded my matching coverart image for it.
