Meh, I'm too sexcellent and popular to get a virus!

Still not enough however to avoid a Critical Hit.

Damn lucky Japanese...   

Well, assuming we're talking about only the "big three", then yes, I've played the hell out of every one.  Own 'em, love 'em, because they're just that damn extraordinarily rocking.  Any who deprive themselves of Legends are nuts.

This over and over again...

Except I've only played 1 & 2. D:

Sparks & Starry, I hope you two had and will continue to have great B-Days, OK?

I wish if I were on a computer so I could add more to this, but just know that it's as true as always from me.

To the people in this thread going "hur hur, joke am laem, April Foolz sux", do better yourselves, please? As someone who values laughter and a good time from any & all angles, this is just depressing.

Actually, I can still see a good laugh coming from this if I just think about how silly/"serious buisness" you unnamed few are being in response to an obvious prank.

God help you all if I start real pranks on you. ;D

I will do it, when I feel like it.

EDIT : If anyone wants to help me find some good reference pics of Mica, that'd be great.

EDIT The Sequel : StarTropics Radmix Album
it's coming along nicely, these are all the MIDIs I've found though, so I don't know what else I could.
But it's a lot still. xP

Sorry for not seeing this earlier. I'm gonna have to get these onto a PC for listening sometime. I'll tell you though that the StarTropics fan in me is pleased once more.

Meanwhile, just to give you a heads up about something, there's hardly any reference art for the main StarTropics characters besides some 90s era pixel art & mugshots. You just gotta guestimate/be original with what you're given. Remind me sometime in the future to send you links or anything useful you may need for this, because I like StarTropics, good StarTropics fan works...

...and ass.

A good point (damn the economy for my not having Galaxy), but you could just as easily take segments of Sonic games to say the same.  Especially the first Adventure.  I meant the game as a whole.

Oh, well, I did want to just say all of it honestly, but that'd only be partially true (mostly true). The only way for you to see what I mean is to play it.

There's a reason why I have it next to only SMB3 as the culmination of the best elements of platforming.

Music alone justifies the Sonic games, this is true.

That being said, something that neither Sonic nor Mario ever did was to make a 3D rendition of the 2D gameplay.  Mario went the open-ended route, Sonic went the extra-mechanics route.  Both saw their fair share of humiliation (I don't think highly of Mario Sunshine).  But seriously, maybe Sonic doesn't need to be innovative?  Maybe, just maybe, the old formula applied to the 3D plane, nothing more and nothing less, wouldn't be a bad idea.  You know, actual platforming, spin-dashing through walls, running across water, zone-specific stunts, extra character abilities that were fun/useful without being mandatory, SUPER SONIC IN STAGES, that kind of stuff.

I'm on my Wii and can't be bothered to edit your post so you can the focus I'm going for, but Super Mario Galaxy not only laughs at this statement, it's mooning you from the moon as well.

Seriously, off the top of my head, there's:

- Dino Pirahna in Good Egg
- All of Gusty Garden Galaxy
- All of Sand Dune Galaxy (with the first star having one of the best literal applications of point A to point B sidescrolling platforming in a while)
- Certain Freezeflame Galaxy stars (race, Hot & Cold Collide)
- Melty. Molten. Motherfukken. Galaxy. (Delicious gaming crack. More so for a platformer whore like me. )
- All of the Bowser/most Bowser Jr. levels, especially the magnificent Center of The Universe.

And lots more that I have to play & remind myself of.

...

[tornado fang], why am I doing this and not playing Galaxy again?

Dear Sega.

Where the hell is Jet Set Radio 3? I've given up on Sonic for a bit, but if you can make your sweatshop team in the basement crank out something incredible (see the post by Ben above), I'll be there day one. Also, less rock more Hideki Naganuma/Sonic CD JPN/Sonic3K please? Also also, Valkryia Chronicles. Need. MOAR.

Sincerely,
Jericho

Simply because the amount of greatness this brilliant idea would potentially give off would kill us all.

« on: March 30, 2009, 01:30:22 AM »

Girls = Loli
Boys = Shota

Learn the difference. </wii>

Thing is, I said that to refer to the complaints about how girls were drawn in the series. I guess I should have been more clear with that.

Off The Wall / Re: Do you write?

« on: March 30, 2009, 12:53:30 AM »

I write a wide variety of things. Most times they're just a few chicken scratches to help me get bigger ideas into range, or short stories. I used to dabble in fan fiction, but I kinda got bored with it sadly.

Since writing is really my only true creative skill at this point, I try my hardest to make sure that it stays polished to a certain degree, as such, I'm always pondering and scribbling down something that I'm thinking of.

X / Re: Zero was way cooler before he became playable.

« on: March 30, 2009, 12:35:59 AM »

Late to the topic, but I agree if we're excluding the fantastic Zero series. Also, Nakayama Zero & X were awesome redesigns. And before I get an earful about "lol too shotacon/lolicon", I only have this to respond with:



You all clearly never saw some of the more ridiculously great art from the series. Meanwhile, I dunno what happened after the Zero series (i.e. in the ZX series) in terms of the art direction, but it definitely didn't have the same flair and awesome that the Zero series did.

I just realized something. Sub should draw Shantae, because Shantae's awesome and Sub can only make her more so.

Fukken lol'd. Also, in the spirit of all the Zero talk around here, Zero would have been so awesome if he was a girl like I originally thought when playing X1.

Gaming / Re: Console and Handheld Redesigns

« on: March 30, 2009, 12:05:31 AM »

Someone said it earlier that the PS2 to PS2 slim redesign is the king of redesigns. I wholeheartedly agree. Most other console redesigns try so hard and drop the ball frequently. Keep in mind though, I don't consider things like GB > GBC a redesign when I say this. The DSPhat > DSLite seems cool as well. I can't say much until I have one in my hands though. *dodges strange glances*

This looks interesting. It sounds far better than that rumoured Kid Icarus game, that's for sure.

If you mean Factor 5's Man Icarus of War/Persia, agreed. The Kid Icarus reboot needs (or should be according to my opinion) something at Mario Galaxy levels of imaginative & whimsical.

The wiki says April. And so does Nintendo's page.

Oh damn, I knew it was sometime soon, I just got the details mixed up during the mix-up.

Just throwing out a random heads up, Majora's Mask is supposed to hit JP VC on the 31st. The info comes from GAF but I can't link it due to net surfin' on the Wii.
