Video Game Chat / Re: Will Nintendo ever go back to arcades?

« on: May 16, 2002, 06:46:54 AM »

All the arcades around me have got rid of their video games - they now mostly have just fruit machines. This is because they make more money - and video games don't, in arcades, any more.

What I think is awful, is the fact that he prints the estimated release dates for Japan then America, while leaving out England, where we're based.

« on: March 22, 2002, 07:07:07 AM »

I think the characters should be:

Mario
Luigi
Princess Toadstool
Yoshi
Donkey Kong (I think it was Jr)
Bowser
Koopa Troopa
Toad

Why would you care if America was going to get to play the new games? After all, America is a long way away.

(sorry)

Don't forget that most of us aren't American. England is home.

The N64 is infinitely better than the Dreamcast. Why? Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day. Rareware.

I wouldn't mind so much but Nintendo are trying their HARDEST to pretend the name Toadstool never existed. This is wrong. No respect for the history and all that.

Nah. We can get all silly about what her REAL name is and stuff in the Mushroom Kingdom, but this is getting off the point.

I am talking about why her name was changed in the REAL WORLD. Shigeru not liking the name Toadstool and changing it. This is what happened. I don't care about these Mushroom Kingdom theories, I just want it back the way it was in the good old days.

Mario Chat / Re: Toadstool lost forever!

« on: March 06, 2002, 06:39:15 AM »

Yeah, but here in England (and America too I think) it has always been Toadstool.

Look - a lot of Japanese names for things are different. Enemies' names are different. Why should we suddenly start using the Jap name for Princess Toadstool? Especially in a game in which she was already called that before.

This is getting silly now - but I stand by what I say. Any of you who have been with Mario since the NES (or even SNES) days should not call her Peach.

Matt

Good to hear that. It's a shame they had to call her Peach in the first Super Mario Advance. That is different from the original game and All-Stars.

I'm not American. I'm English. The name has always been Princess Toadstool here, I don't care about the Japanese names.

Check that link above, anyway. It's still true, though - most long-time Mario fans (as we tested by posting on a Mario 3 message board) HATE the name Peach, it just isn't the same as Princess Toadstool.

What's the profile text for her in SSB:M?

Mario Chat / Re: Mario quiz... Are you up to the challenge?

« on: February 22, 2002, 08:25:13 AM »

One of the questions is wrong. You cannot play as Princess Peach in any of those games.

Go and play SMRPG again, and pay more attention next time.

Yeah, I have got all the points in Yoshi's Island. It's a bit disappointing how you don't get anything extra.

By the way, in your sig, it's "Ganondorf". There are two Ns in it. Why do people always spell it wrong?

Mario Chat / Re: News for avengah

« on: January 31, 2002, 09:52:55 AM »

OK thanks. I believe it will be out at the beginning of May, at a price of £149. This means the X-Box will probably have trouble selling at £299.

I still say May's too late really, and Nintendo have probably let Sony have too much of a headstart. Good planning etc. could have prevented this, but have Nintendo ever been any good at planning? No. Never mind.

By the way, on a completely unrelated topic, to the person who e-mailed me with an abusive message, I know who you are, I know what your username is (and it has an L in it), and it's so sad it's not even funny. Grow up, realise I am probably about twice your age and know a lot more (about life) than you, and be aware I could quite easily have your posting rights revoked.

By the way, "Gotten" isn't a word. Please use got.

That's not a glitch. All the magazines, such as Nintendo Magazine System, made a point of saying "If you complete it without warps, you get a bonus world". It's weird, but easy. And it proves you completed the game properly!

Incidentally, does anyone else agree with me that Lost Levels is a piece of cake? Really easy.
