Video Game Chat / Thanksgiving and Nintendo News

« on: November 25, 2004, 10:33:03 AM »

First off, I'd just like to wish everyone here a Happy Thanksgiving. Anyone got any interesting plans of some sort? I'm just going to my bro's house, nothing big.

Also, I have to say, that was some pretty impressive news Nintendo released yesterday. If you didn't hear, go read about it. Mario Baseball.... I think it could possibly be a good idea. I think it's a bit weird, but, I dunno. I'm not saying it's a good idea, I'm just saying it's not a bad idea. Secondly, Donkey Konga 3. I love the original, still not tired of it, and eagerly await Donkey Konga 2. Kirby's Adventure for Gamecube, yes. Thank you. I love Kirby Air Ride A LOT. Many of you know how I like it more than Double Dash, but come on, we need a new Kirby adventure game, and those graphics are awesome.

Watch out... the ADVANCED Poster Awards will be back this holiday season, so keep your eyes peeled.

Oh, and one more question... I think I might've asked this before, but does anyone know if there's ever been a Super Mario balloon/float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?

Video Game Chat / DK Bongos Mystery...

« on: November 04, 2004, 07:42:41 AM »

Well well, I return to report some news.
(Yes, I will host the Fungi Forums Poster Award again soon, so do not fret)
I was tinkering around with the DK Bongos, to continue research on what Luigison(I think it was him) said about the Bongos. He was incorrect about saying the bongos don't correspond to certain buttons. I recently discovered there are two different sections of each individual bongo, with a more than one button under the padding; one in the front of it, one in the middle of the drum, and one in the back, closest to you when you hold it. What I've found out is that the bongos actually do correspond to buttons!

The layout is as follows:
Front of Right- X Button
Back of Right- A Button
Start- Start (Obviously)
Front of Left- Y Button
Back of Left- B Button
Clap- R Button

To hit the buttons on the drum correctly, you need to hit it in certain spots. To hit the front, you need to hit the front, and back, you must hit the very edge of the padding, to hit the button. Now one thing I can't solve is what the big buttons in the center of the pad do. Right now, it looks like it does the front button's command, however, it could very well be both buttons. I played both Metroid Prime, and SSBM to test these out, and yes, it is possible to play using them, though not really. The problem is, there's no way of moving with the bongos, unless there is something I have yet to discover.
Now the question is...
Besides Donkey Konga, are there any games that do not require movement, and only operate with the A, B, X, Y, Start, and R buttons? I found it sorta possibly to play SSBM, however, once you get hit by an attack, you're in trouble, so that's no fun.

Questions? Comments?

I'm Meowrik, here with Vidgmchtr and we have set a new record first thing, in two TMK FOrum Members meeting each other in reality.

Today was a party, and Mike AKA Vidgmchtr came over, and now we plan on playing some games.

It is a memorable occasion in the history of the forums.

General Chat / Ronald Reagan

« on: June 05, 2004, 08:53:34 PM »

Ronald Reagan sadly passed away today. At the age of 93, his alzheimers(spelling?) caused him to stop breathing.

Any thoughts? Comments? I was very shocked hearing this.

I decided to make a Microsoft Paint picture of myself the other day, and decided to post it here.

Here's a link.

And so, now you people should go make pictures of yourselves on MS Paint. When done, post them here.

Mario Chat / Awesome Game Ideas

« on: May 29, 2004, 10:40:07 PM »

I know there's been a topic like this before, but I wanted to share a really cool idea I came up with while talking to someone recently... (Forgive the wacky capitilization and sentence fragments. This was copied and pasted from an AIM conversation, and I tend to write sentence fragments and such on there)

You know how some final bosses usually have like 5 different stages... Well, Make the final battle with Bowser the ways you defeated him in other games. Like, First phase,First could be battling him in his Koopa Clown Copter. From Super Mario World. Have one hit make him start throwing the Big Steelies out, Then the next make him go to the angry Copter thing where he tries squishing you, Then another, Make him fall out of the copter, Then, THen you could make him Do the Super Mario 64 thing, Throw him into the bombs on the field three times, then the next phase a fight where he jumps onto the floor, And you have to make him jump through the floor like in Super Mario Bros. 3 And then when he falls down into some dungoen or something, Make it like in original SMB, He's on the bridge You just need to run underneath him, Hit the axe and chop the rope down, He falls in the lava, You run in, But Peach isn't there..... All of a sudden... The castle starts crumbling. Bowser rises outta the lava huge like in Super Mario World 2!!! Then you need to throw.... I dunno, Koopa Shells at him. And then he will be finished. That will be the final phase.
HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE?!

Every Mario fan would go loco over something like that, 'cause every Mario fan loves references to old games.

Actually, anyone who played Mario party 5 knows they had that exact idea of a 3-D version of fighting Bowser like in Super Mario Bros. 3

See, now if any of you have any cool ideas like that, go right on ahead and leave it here.

General Chat / Bill Gates Pied

« on: May 24, 2004, 08:32:03 PM »

I was talking with the clerk at the local Gamestop recently about Nintendo and he brought up how recently Bill Gates was at some News Conference thing in Belgium, and someone did a drive by pie in the face to him. They walked up and slammed  apie into Bill Gate's face! Anyone else hear of this or have video footage?

Video Game Chat / IGN Conquest???

« on: May 08, 2004, 10:38:30 AM »

Every so often, while on the forums, I see a really tiny blue-gray square sitting at the top-left corner of the page, to the left of the AD banners. If I click on it, it takes me to IGN.

What the heck??

Video Game Chat / Kirby Star: The Great Labyrinth of the Mirror

« on: April 21, 2004, 05:52:22 PM »

New Kirby game coming out!

You gotta see some of the cool stuff in it...

One of the staff members at my site has a Japanese copy of the game, and found some awesome things in it.

One cool thing, you face Master Hand and Crazy Hand in it! They use attacks similar to their SSBM attacks, and are a boss of some point in the game.

Another cool little thing, there's a special power in the game that let's you use Kirby's attacks from SSBM.

Don't believe me? Check it out.

Kudos to Hal on their awesome allusions.

I recently got an e-mail from Dr. Mario that was forwarded a large amount of times from various e-mails on the Fungi Forums about AOL and Microsoft merging and them sending you money for forwarding the e-mail to test beta software...

Anyone else hear of this?

Game Help / Harvest Moon Ducks

« on: March 26, 2004, 07:03:58 PM »

I recently bought Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for Gamecube, and I read in Nintendo Power about getting ducks. According to them, once you get the Pond on your farm and have 6 or less chickens, a pair of ducks will eventually appear.
However...
I purchased a pond in the first Spring, and I just finished up the first year and got married. Does anyone know how long it takes for the ducks to appear? Am I doing something wrong?

Video Game Chat / Pokemon Colosseum

« on: March 26, 2004, 07:01:49 PM »

I just got this game and I'd have to say it is truly a stupendous game, unlike any Pokemon game ever before. The music is spectacular and it's so addictively fun... If you were wondering why I stopped posting for a week, it's because of this game. (And Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life a little also)

What are your thoughts on Pokemon Colosseum?
