Mario Chat / Re: Lakitu -- Where the heck did he come from?

« on: February 20, 2001, 05:57:25 PM »

He's a Koopa turtle who can control the clouds. He wears a big pair of glasses and his shell has stripes on it instead of the Hexagonal pattern of most other Koopas.

In Super Mario Kart, Lakitu was a useful character for Nintendo because he could fly around on the screen without getting in the way and rescue you too, thanks to his cloud. I expect it could have just of easily been a Koopa Paratroopa or something, but Lakitu looks friendly enough. In following games, Lakitu then started to take on more and more roles as a friendly and helpful character, not always fighting. But don't forget, there were mean fighting Lakitus in SM64 as well.

You're not alone InsectIce... I live in England, and we get games the same time as you (unless they're Pokémon games, when we get them half a year later than even you guys do)...

So I'm still pining for Paper Mario. But we didn't get SMRPG because of that whole fallout between Square and Nintendo... Unfair, isn't it :p

So, you think Nintendo should give up Zelda and Pokémon, two of its most popular and profitable properties, just so we can have a sequel to SMRPG with some of the old Square-owned characters?

And yes, I don't believe any of those games is directly competing with each other. The only thing that creates a rivalry is fans. Perhaps Mario fans bitter that Nintendo is focusing a lot of its time in Pokémon, or Zelda fans claiming that Zelda is Nintendo's greatest RPG and Pokémon is little else.

Jeez, have an open mind. Just because we don't care whether or not Nintendo includes old SMRPG characters in a new game doesn't mean we're Mario traitors. I absolutely adore all three of them and wouldn't want to see Nintendo drop a single one. The only thing Nintendo's wasting their money on are those limited or cancelled ventures such as Earthbound64 and the 64DD. While it would have been cool if they came out, they didn't, and so made no profit and are a waste of cash.

It's business sonny-jim.

LOL, he couldn't beat it, so he's setting up a clan against it ^_^

A poorly written clan, at that...

At least Wario's getting a steady stream of Game Boy games, I don't see Luigi starring in anything much.

Does anyone know when Paper Mario is supposed to be released in the UK and Europe? I'm still waiting :p

Mario Chat / Re: How do you pronounce...?

« on: February 20, 2001, 05:27:27 PM »

I say Jee-no, because it sounds more like "genie" that "Jeh-no" (which frankly sounds more like jello :p)

Lah-kee-too is my pronunciation for our little cloud dweller. No reason really... it just sounds right...

Video Game Chat / Re: Are there any Kirby fans here?

« on: January 21, 2001, 08:46:22 AM »

Mega 2, you're so full of contradictions!

Kirby's Dreamland (the GB version) is one of the most stupidly easiest games I have ever played. Even back when it was new and I was no older than nine I still completed it in one sitting.

Kirby's Adventure is a little better, but still hardly a challenge.

SMW2 is one of the greatest platformers ever made. I don't know WHY you don't like it (as all of your reasons totally contradict everything you've said about other games) and that bugs me a little.

No, not in World 8-4. If you're stuck in the challenge game, then just keep going at it until you can do the level without it.

Frankly, the challenge game is giving me a hernia ^_^ I've got all the Red-Coins and Eggs in every level, but the score total is painful to get even when you know where every little thing is in the level... :p

I have that box somewhere. I'll find it, scan the piccies and send it to Deezer for the site ^_^ I'm sure he'll find some use for it.
