"Small parts" refers to what people will presume my manhood to be when I'm caught playing a game with pink dinosaurs and tiny mushroom men in propeller suits.

I'm sure I've posted this somewheres around here before, but meh.

Quote from: C.S. Lewis

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

Also do you really want to bring up the implications of "choking hazards" for "children under 3 years" in regards to your "small parts"?

Maybe "small parts" refers to certain characters that only play minor roles in the game, a concept so complex for toddlers to grasp that they'll choke on the triangular exclamation mark-sign they're eating.

I lost.

I hope everyone knows I wasn't being serious with that last post.

Looks like I was right about the Penguin Suit being used for swimming better.

But that's all the bragging from me.

No comment?

I cant wait for this game! It'll be SO fun. We're getting it Nov. 15, the first day!

I still haven't gotten around to getting BIS, but I've already preordered this one at a nearby FYE.

You know, I can't help but think the lack of Wi-fi is going to hurt its sales...

I imagine the "choking hazard" label has to do with the little tabs in the box that hold the instruction manual down which could possibly be broken off and ingested.

Granted, the lack of Wi-Fi is a downer to some, but I doubt it would actually hurt sales. After all, obviously, this is game is targeted towards Nintendo/Mario fans and casual gamers--the former is (hopefully) experienced and open-minded enough to know that the game can/will still be fun without Wi-Fi, and the latter, assuming they even know their Wii can go online (as I understand it, a surprising amount don't), likely won't be all that into online play. About the only group I can think of that might be alienated by Wi-Fi-less multiplayer would be guys that play lots of games online and just own a Wii as a console-on-the-side (and/or bought NSMB).

I'm going to go with the well-known LD-esque argument, "co-op in person is a lot more fun than co-op online".

So I hear Kamek has a role in this game, but I wonder if its THE Kamek and not a random Magikoopa.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #342 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:43:46 PM »

Well you know in Japan, Kamek is basically a random magikoopa.

Weegee · « **Reply #343 on:** October 28, 2009, 03:48:54 PM »

Nintendo Power makes specific reference to Kamek, and the fact that the Magikoopa is shown sprinkling Yoshi's Island-esque magic dust over the Koopalings reinforces his inclusion.
