There were people who thought it was real? Did they actually look at it?

We live in a world that had people convinced Rayman was coming to Smash Bros last year because of a mock-up that spread so far and wide Ubisoft were about to say something about it.

I don't honestly know what they were going to say about it considering it was all a ruse but that's how far we've advanced in our ability to make convincing looking fakes.

Of course the other "leak" was fake too, but the guy explains the whole process from the 3D printing to the use of sand paper and spray painting, which is pretty cool since it looks great for something done by an hobbyist. Worth a watch.

I just realized the usual parade of fake Pokemon you usually see in the lead up to a new generation release is going to be even more of a headache this time around when their fakemon can now have a reasonably convincing 3D printed toy prototype to go along with faked Coro Coro scans.

I do like that in this particular instance the guy wrote the article as a response to being punk'd instead of owning up to it like most people who got fooled did.

Like when Keighley would ask Pachter why Nintendo never listened to him and make a Wii HD and he would say, "A SMART person would have listened to me and done it."

i feel like there's a line between "game companies not catering to us, the consumer" and "companies forgot why people like their games", but anything related to nintendo is sure to be on the former side.

I'm glad sentiment against open-world gaming hadn't gotten so widespread at this past E3 that Breath of the Wild would have gotten criticized for being more of the same.

I mean there were some people saying that but it was a minority that was getting pretty much drowned out the entire time.

Behold this fellow video game historians, a Wario-related treasure was finally translated into English from the Japanese Wario Land 4 website today.

A treasure:

quote:

From: takeuthiryu, an 11 year old boy.

"How big is your poop [anyway]?"

Hey! Didn’t I say to quit it with the dirty questions?!

But…since this is such a good question, I’ll answer it!

Last night, I devoured 10 plates of stir-fried liver and chives, 10 crêpes, 10 plates of rice curry…so my poop this morning was huge, with a very nice yellow color!

It was so big, that it almost reached the rim of the the toilet!

Do you understand?! The smell was a mixture of pickled vegetables, spoiled eggs and crucian carp sushi! If you want to smell it, try mixing those things!!

This is canon

Hello again, I bring you more official literal Wario poo poo posts:

quote:

From: S.K, 23 year old female.

Mr. Wario, you stated that you have your “own relaxing poop time” but when I go poop, my stomach hurts and relaxing is out of the question. What would you recommend to me so I can enjoy pooping?

I see you still haven’t mastered the art of pooping!

Do exactly what I’m about to tell you. First, close your eyes and focus your spirit on your butt!

Then, plant your legs, and squeeze one out while visualizing a shiny, well shaped, perfectly smooth, great smelling crap!!

How about it~? You relaxed, huh?

What? You couldn’t do it? I don’t know how to help you!

Put some effort into learning how to relax on your own!!

quote:

From Chuukara, a 12 year old boy

Which would you prefer, poop-flavored curry, or curry-flavored poop?

You guys really like the dirty jokes!! Though, I’m a big fan of them myself!

Hmmm…this is the ultimate choice!

Why don’t you make poop-flavored curry and curry-flavored poop, and figure it out yourself!!

If you know what poop tastes that, that means you’ve eaten poop, right?

Because if you’d never eaten it, you wouldn’t know what it tastes like!!

Also, how would you make curry flavored poop?

If you ate curry every day would your poop taste like curry?

That question is too big that I can’t answer!

It’s time to start your life’s work!!

If you folks are wondering how the NX can support a "mobile" version of it's fine titles, I've got two words for you: "LOD Models". Enjoy.

As long as the Ice Climbers can come back officially I'm fine with whatever.

Unless you can only load one Ice Climber for the mobile version then I'm kinda hesitant that like goes against the Ice Climber Creed.

I remember smash dojo oh man that was a god tier hype train especially since 99% of them were like "here is an item. Here is Mario doing a move" and then random days it would be like "HERE IS A BRAND NEW CHARACTER MOTHERFUCKER WOO"

Assist trophy reveals were always a cruel day because for a few seconds some poor souls would see the update and think that character was confirmed before reality set it and they noticed there wasn't any sort of "Challenger Approaching" banner and oh they're just an assist trophy.

Even beyond that, the fact that he's saying, with his mouth words that Super Mario Run isn't exploitative enough is just...butts. It wasn't enough for them to make first-party titles for mobile now it's a problem they aren't doing mobile pricing the right way. Which is the wrong way, but it's right to do it that way.

Like that's really something with Nintendo these days is that they're not exploitative enough that's yeah that's something they should definitely work on doing more of.

It's like that one investor from a few years back who said they could make more revenue by making a mobile Mario game where you can pay micro-transactions to jump higher.

I don't know how to feel about the fallout of a "potential" Bayo 2-esque Beyond Good and Evil reboot announcement/trailer that drops alongside the NX reveal.

Why would there be fallout from it? Haven't people wanted a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil for a long time?

Yeah but they won't wanna buy a new system for it.

To this day there's still people hoping Platinum Games can find some kind of loophole in the contract that lets them publish a "Sigma" version or whatever of Bayo 2 on the PS4/Xbox One or Steam.

poo poo ever since Microsoft started letting their first-party games come to the PC there's been people thinking out loud that Sony should obviously do the same to make it an even playing field without actually thinking about the ramifications of what they're asking for.

How did discussions about 3D Mario titles somehow end up worse than debates about 3D Zelda titles? Those seven seconds of new Mario game footage have brought out people on the net who have either heralded it as the true successor to Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy or it's the harbinger of bad times ahead because it looks (from just seven seconds of footage) too similar to 3D World/Galaxy/Sunshine.

they're just people who are looking for reasons to complain and the chunky nature of that footage gave them one. the fact that the footage is totally irrelevant to anything is a sore subject, i guess. i am fully aware that people are tired of this topic, but people keep bringing it up again and it is simply the stupidest thing i have ever heard in my entire life.

Damned if you do damned if you don't. Whenever a new Zelda title (not a Zelda tech demo) is shown one of the first negative things some people always point out are how much they hate the actual grass textures, how ugly the ground looks and everything is ruined because they don't bullshot the footage and lather it all up.
