Latest News / Nintendo Revolution renamed

« on: April 27, 2006, 12:09:51 PM »

Nintendo Wii

As in "we."

While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.

Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.

Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes this console is for everyone.

Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.

And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.

So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.

Because, it's really not about you or me.

It's about Wii.

And together, Wii will change everything.

Site Discussion / TMK credits project

« on: December 04, 2005, 05:16:26 PM »

That's right, we're trying to complete the collection of Mario game credits. Anyone who supplies credits will be credited on the credits list page.

How to contribute
I will need a video (.AVI/.MP4/.MOV/YouTube/etc.) of the entire credits roll. For easily-emulated games, a save state will suffice. For games that happen to have credits in the manual, a scan of the page(s) containing the credits is okay. Supply me with the means to see the credits and I will type them up. Also, confirming that no credits exist in any game will help.

*Note: If you need a way to send a video file, try a file hosting service such as http://www.dropbox.com

Rules:

• No deliberately getting around the censors. Include a warning in your post if you're linking to potentially inappropriate material.
• No images or styled text in signatures, or signatures longer than 2 lines.
• No bumping for the sake of bumping. Bumping is posting in an inactive thread for the sole purpose of moving it to the top of the list.

• Avoid posting many new topics in one day.
• Thoroughly search for previous topics on the same subject before posting a new topic.

• Forums are not intended to be used as a fast-paced chatroom.  For that, please visit the actual chatroom.
• Custom titles may be used for positive and negative reasons.  If you receive a negative one, or if you don't understand your CT, take some time to evaluate your behavior and correct it.
