So now we know that Swampfax Temperatures was called Swampasaur Planet in its inception.

Makes sense.

Here's my question for Nintendo, why would it be detrimental to you if it's actually helping to promote your games? It's basically gauging the viewer's interests and in turn strongly increases the likelihood of more future purchases, it's free advertisment.
Yes and no. If Nintendo allows people to directly profit off their material, then they risk the IPs being considered "public domain". It's the reason that Adobe has fought against the term "photoshop" for image editing. If Adobe didn't fight it, they would risk losing their right to call Photoshop by that name.
Can we have Lord of the Leaks: Return of the Swamp next?
It's not movie titles.

New theme chosen by me since @Opossum never got back to me.

My BIG question about all of this is...was the guy uploading TAS speed runs making money off the videos? If yes, then I think Nintendo isn't 100% wrong with this (More like 80% wrong, but not 100% wrong to go after that guy). If the guy wasn't making any money off it...then Nintendo is in 99.99% wrong as the guy was 1. not profiting from Nintendo's IPs 2.is not hurting the ability of Nintendo to profit.
afaik, no they dont they only record the playback of the inputs because a tas file is literally that.

I never heard anyone making any profit and doing a tas is tedious.

It's not a book either! I thought you were guessing the current title was a movie title theme. I know it was originally a book :).


*throws a banana*
What's the theme then? I thought earlier you said September was book titles?

So I just looked it up

Ken Bogard leaked Rashid before (the char name). He also leaked newcomers named Zen and Laura. Take that for what you will.

No to all the guesses. I'd suggest waiting until tomorrow for a better hint :3.

Also, I wonder if people will make a big stink about an Arabian character being revealed on September 11th. Why? Because, racists.

I was thinking the same thing, I thought if you owned a physical copy of the game then having the rom was alright.
Not only do you have to own the game, but technically you have to create the ROM file yourself as well.

Well, someone on NeoGAF already did believe it or not.

So Laura might be revealed at Brazil Game Show. Probably.

I'll throw out a wild guess and say that Swamp was removed when a Fox came along.

[collapse=]
Probably wrong, but that game was the first thing that came to mind.
[/collapse]
That's the big theme. There's a smaller theme that's connecting all my choices.

I didn't even think of that. I really hope people aren't that stupid....*sigh* its going to happen.
Laura is the Brizilian divekick-esque character right?

Also, Zen sounds like an asian name.
tough to say. Zen sounds ambiguous, including gender. Laura being the dive kicking Brazilian sounds plausible.

Zen
(zĕn)
n.
1. A school of Mahayana Buddhism that asserts that enlightenment can be attained through meditation, self-contemplation, and intuition rather than through faith and devotion and that is practiced mainly in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Also called Zen Buddhism.
2. also zen An approach to an activity, skill, or subject that emphasizes simplicity and intuition rather than conventional thinking or fixation on goals: the zen of cooking.

Gender is certainly ambiguous, but I wonder if this Zen character is named literally or named based off his personality or ideals.

I know he's Indian, but Zen might be a Dhalsim type character. To be fair we have no one who falls under his archetype yet.

Does he have a scouter?

I don't know what that thing is, but I see scouter. Really digging his design regardless.
