Bloody Pom posted:So for Metroid's 30th anniversary, Nintendo is just cementing their reputation as a terrible company? I mean, did you forget the Mario romhack takedown videos, or the copyright takedowns or any of the other internet controversies that they've been involved in? This isn't new and shouldn't have been unexpected by anyone.

I'm more disappointed because they've also been pulled off Retromags and if nobody's scanning any more issues it means I can't dump these boxes full of magazines I'll never read

VIZ put out a new edition of Shotaro Ishinomori's Zelda comic (also from Nintendo Power) last year, so it was only a matter of time until they did the same for Super Mario Adventures. No sign of the Star Fox or Super Metroid comics yet, but those were sorta lousy anyway.

Nintendo hasn't released any new Metroid games for people to boycott since well before the last Metroid anniversary. That being said, there's a new Metroid game out next week that I guarantee will get the reception it "deserves".

Yeah.. It's poo poo, it sucks but they're totally able to do it and there's nothing really to be done about it, aside from whine and torrent them. Same as it ever was!

Call me naive, but I like to see all this as a sign that Nintendo has some ideas in the works and these recent events coincidentally share some things in common with said ideas.

It's much more likely that Nintendo is still enforcing their copyrights because they are pretty strict about them and afraid about people stealing them away.

Elliotw2 posted:It's much more likely that Nintendo is still enforcing their copyrights because they are pretty strict about them and afraid about people stealing them away. I don't think it's even about stealing them. It's that even more than most companies, they're defined by the extended aspects of their IP. People aren't buying a billion dollars in Call of Duty merchandise, to use a convenient example. So that makes Nintendo a bit more defensive about their IP than most. It's a lot like Disney in that regard. To change the subject; I'm closing in on finishing Devil May Cry after years of bouncing off of it in the first stage or two. Maybe I'll actually finish Viewtiful Joe next...

Gosh, look at the bad posters in this thread. Just look at all of them. Good thing I'm not one of them! Nope, not me!d0s posted:yeah iirc the flash carts handle disk games fine, I don't have firsthand experience but I've heard people talk about em. protip: play yuureikun and girly block asap (girly block is not a porno game) When I found out that Compile released almost forty Disc Stations on the MSX, it was like I'd stumbled into an alternate reality where cupcakes grew on trees. I like Aleste Gaiden a lot more than it might deserve. It's slow and a little awkward compared to other Compile shooters, but it has a neat style somewhere between a PC Engine game and a late NES release. TheRedEye posted:I played through the first level of Psycho World on the MSX and I want it in my house now. Also those Compile demos look amazing. What was it about Psycho/Psychic World that won you over?

My nearly complete set of disc stations is the one part of my MSX stuff I didn't sell, because they're just too rad and come with booklets full of art and stuff, one of em has TGL concept art. though like an idiot I sold the actual compile MSX games I had: aleste, aleste 2, puyo puyo, girly block, yuureikun (tho its inconclusive if they actually developed this, people seem to think so. it's not in the complete compile book tho. still a really awesome game)

Talking about the Analog NTs, I thought they were buying all the yellowed Famicoms no one else wants to buy for their boards? I don't have a problem with that really. I've seen Famicom's that look like they were played by a person playing Dragon Quest in long sessions constantly chain smoking and then buried in the dirt for 20 years. I just looked up eBay for an example:   This can be yours for a starting bid of 5 USD! Edit: More horror shows:   And can we start "Consoles that look like Donald Trump"?

On another note about Nintendo taking down the NP mags and Metroid alterations: much like Blizzard serving C&Ds to people running vanilla WoW servers against the cries of its fanbase, the matter was "protecting their intellectual property rights", trying to discourage others from doing this, instead of condoning by means of inaction. It makes sense, but it makes them a business, not an rear end in a top hat.

Wise Fwom Yo Gwave posted:I disagree on this point, mostly because I wanted that version of Samus (where she looked like Vasquez with purple hair) to be canon: I was really excited when the comic started, but it turned out pretty weak. The original characters were dumb, the comic rushed everything at the end, and it ruined the game's best moment: instead of sacrificing itself to save Samus, the Hatchling (aka THE BABY) gets zapped by a fat police chief.

Today I bought Ms. Pac-Man for the SNES and Spot: The Video Game for NES. And the other day M.U.L.E. arrived in the mail. Speaking of games I may or may not be hoarding to hypothetically some day run a small mystery game tournament, did this already get posted in here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M_wwSlqAGw END ME SCOOB posted:So Heidi Kemps is doing a massive series on an old Taito game called Raimais. It's halfway done right now and fascinating to read. It's something you might want to look at and/or emulate yourself! Raimais is on all versions of Taito Legends 2, as it happens, and AFAIK it survived the translation unlike a couple other games on the PS2 release.
