Gamespot claims they will remove it, though I somewhat doubt the validity of hen saying they held interviews with Nintendo staff...

SkyeCaptain · Post by **SkyeCaptain** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 12:10 pm

Either it's not true or Nintendo are making a pretty questionable decision.

Some people saw them outside of the game so no one can see them in the game? So what if a few people had them spoiled. I've played some games after I've watched an entire playthrough of them and still enjoyed them.

So, interesting bit of news here, ever seen these MLB Baseball games and things, those games that seem to be th same game year after year? Well, a court ruling recently about Madden happened, and I thought it was interesting.

The original programmer of Madden, the very first one on MS DOS, Apple 1, and Commodore 64, signed a contract with EA years back signed a contract that stated he would receive royalties for all derivative works of his football game, and the ruling was that the 2D madden titles, the ones from 1990-1996, were ruled by a court as almost identical to the original, and they are having a second session to see if the 3D games are derivative works, am I the only one who finds this hilarious?

That's kinda hilarious.

That happened. But in all honesty, copyright and all that jazz is really funky stuff. Reminds me of the patent trolls.

Anyone know a good way to make money in Gran Turismo 5 without online? I'm stuck on a low budget because those guys at Polyphony made it so that races give less credits every time you race them again... XC So I can't enter any new events because I don't have enough money to get a proper car for them.

I'm currently enjoying Project X Zone in between bouts of Monster Hunter-U. Still I need something to really wow me.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:59 am

Try Zombie U, it's tense, difficult and if you die you have to kill the now zombified you whilst it has all your gear so yu can retrieve it. Not helpful when you had bullet proof armor.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:39 pm

I've heard good things about that game! Like it's a lot more realistic than the typical action-based zombie games.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Sun Aug 04, 2013 8:13 pm

It is, it's not that bad really, better zombeh FPS then most, and you die, and come back as a new person, but what's annoying is that other players, when they die, appear on your game, so when you die, you can be on theirs, and then they take your things. Also, the hardcore mode is awesome, you get 1 life, one character, if you die, your save is deleted, and you fail. My big issue is the story and how it doesn't allow a choice in it, bugged me.

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 1:34 am

I never bought any video game console. Mommy doesn't have the money and pappy says computers can also play games and do a lot more too. : /

Nonsense! You can choose:
A) To escape with the zombie cure in your possession.
B) To escape without finishing the zombie cure.
C) Die and become a zombie.

Lots of heavy moral choices right there!

Terrific game, very difficult. Though I must say its easier if you actually have been to London and know where our ping in those levels.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Fri Aug 09, 2013 5:54 pm

I found this earlier today, and I was excited when I saw it. My favorite Pokemon is getting a new evolution! Mega Evolutions!

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 12:35 am

Which is your favorite? And not quite; they're just an in-battle thing.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 2:08 am

I really dislike this, you can't give Blaziken an evolution it's a starter! Not to mention the new type being given to old classics and the addition of more man-made product pokemon. I'm not even sure if candy floss can be subject to predation...

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 3:04 am

I really like Fennekin's evolution. I'll probably pick him now c: Chespin's looks downright lazy. It's just taller...

Lifio13 · Post by **Lifio13** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 5:46 am

I've seen the Jynx one before. I'm pretty sure that was proven fake though, so unfortunately I'm going to have to doubt the rest of the evolution stuff on that page for now. I use Serebii for Pokemon stuff, because I know that it's going to be more than likely genuine.

On the subject of MegaEvolutions/Forms though, half of the revealed ones(Perhaps there's more?) are Generation 3(Blaziken, Mawile and Absol). Maybe there's something different about Hoenn's Pokemon that means more of it's region have MegaForms? I dunno, perhaps I'm just over thinking this. What I do know is that the transformation sequence in battle looks really awesome.

October 12th, hurry up and get here please. I really want this badly.

My favorite Pokemon is Absol, and I realised that it was only in battle when I watched the video, but still, it is technically an evolution, because you really only fight with Pokemon, besides being in the contests.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 9:34 am

I don't have a direct favorite. It's a tie between my original starter, Sceptile, and the level 30 that sinle handedly defeated the Hoenn league champion, Ninetales.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 10:25 am

The starter evolutions weren't leaked yet, were they?

Another Absol fan? Awesome! It's not my favorite but I love it. And the mega evolution is great!

Magikarp is my favorite Pokemon, I'm not even joking.

I've been playing through Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, and I noticed that there are some really good quotes from them.

Such as?

Okay, so I recently bought some games off the eShop with a $20 eShop prepaid card I got in Calgary. And here they are:

Mutant Muds
SpeedX: Hyper Edition
Publisher Dream
Shantae

Shantae, in particular, I'm impressed with because the character movements are so fluid, you'd wonder how WayForward crammed all those frames of animation onto a GBC cartridge. I recommend it *thumbs up*.

The International 3 is over, Alliance beat Natus Vincere 3 games to 2 in a best of 5 series, securing first place and winning $1.4million. What an amazing event!

(For those of you who don't know, The International is a Dota 2 tournament, sort of like a world championship that happens once a year!)

So... Anyone remember the Nintendo E-Reader?

That was a really bad idea.

... as bad as the Nintendo Power Glove, the Virtual Boy or the Vitality Sensor?

At least the GB camera was good, though largely unknown.

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 4:07 pm

Okay, here's a little question. Anyone remember Twisted Metal Black? If you haven't played it, all I can say is it's pretty dark.

I've heard of it, but I haven't seen one up close(though I do agree, the technology seems dated).

snakebug · Post by **snakebug** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:10 pm

My dad has a Nintendo E Reader. He never used it... Never really got to try one.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 12:39 am

I actually owned one. On one hand, it lets you store small games as cards. On the other hand, that technology is entirely obsolete now with flash storage, especially considering the size of the reader.

I remember them, but didn't get the power glove because it was too expensive. but I did get a NES Advantage. =3

I've seen the CoroCoro scans and the few videos depicting the Mega Formes, and while I do think that the designs are cool, especially Lucario's and Mawile's, I kinda think this feature kills the game for me. Sort of weird seeing all the final evolutions getting another form, like Digimon

And the fact that I have to remember all the formes, as well as the new Pokemon roster AND the new type, plus having so many things to do at once in the game, would be headache-inducing, even if fun.

I'll just wait patiently for another Mystery Dungeon release for the 6th gen xD

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 2:31 am

I'm not sure how confusing a 6th gen mystery dungeon would be, but I just became immortal on explorers of darkness and still want to play that.
Why does Blaziken and only Blaziken have a mega form? Why not any other starter? Is it to make up for the fact it was going to be Latias in the Beta stages?

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 3:20 am

I did hear that almost all of the final evolutions (or the original stage for non-evolving pokemon) will get a Mega forme, like Mewtwo's Awakened forme in the new movie and Kangaskhan at this Pokemon competition somewhere, so don't worry.

And yes, the only reason I got an NDS (and a 3DS later) is because of the Mystery Dungeon series xD

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:51 am

Apparently Charizard and Blastoise will get mega evolutions but not Venusaur? That's weird.

snakebug · Post by **snakebug** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:52 am

I have not played pokemon in so long... So, did they have anything new for the legendaries?
