Johnathan Blow said this on Twitter...
There was a problem fetching the tweet

This is Notch's reply:

Notch has been brutal on Twitter recently.
Speaking of stupid things said about game by people who should know better...

Gonna be that honest.
When I saw those tweets.
My first question is "Who is Johnathan Blow and why are we supposed to care?"
And I beat Braid.

Edit: He was apparently the man behind The Witness. Had no idea.

And good on Notch.

Honestly, the Braid guy is pretentious....

I love how he just straight trashes MovieBob and Jim Sterling. Especially MovieBob who deserves it hard

I got incredibly lucky today.

I got to a lot of recycle stores, and over the past four years I've gotten some great deals. But...I'm not sure if anything will top this... (...Well maybe the time I bought a Pikachu N64 + 4 controllers for 2 USD and sold the normal regular controllers for 3 USD a piece)





...it's beautiful. No repeats (expect Twin Bee, which is on a B side of a disc). Lots of Nintendo games too!

Legend of Zelda 1,2, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong Jr, Mario Golf, Tennis, Super Mario Brothers, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Golf (Japan and Us Course) Mario Brothers come back?? (never heard of that), shinoni (both discs), Ayumi Tachibana's game (Famicon Tantei), Murasame Castle...

All of the games were from the download kiosk, so they have printed labels too.

Here's a comparison of Zelda I. The color version is the full retail one, and the black and white one is printed.

I got all of this for 28 USD too.

And to think...I almost didn't go to the store (It's 27 KM away, and I started biking late today).

Anyway, the store will hold the next Disc System they get (and replace the belt), so hopefully I can play these soon!

The problem is not the game itself but how he got pissed that "no one understood what he meant"
I mean, shame on people that took a game as being a game and didn't understand the super hidden message!

10k is posting a list of things that will supposedly be talked about at the Nintendo Tree House.


We'll quickly find out if he has good sources.

Why TMS though? Didn't that release already?
I just hope that list isn't real because I want at least one new game to be revealed, but I'll go with it for my expectations' sake

Welcome to the Disk System club. Kaettekita Mario Bros. for the price you got it is an amazing deal in and of itself. At the moment I'm personally on the look out for Arumana no Kiseki, Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa, Ai Senshi Nicol, and Falsion. ;)

Did you get a copy of Time Twist in there? I've been kind of curious about it as I'd love to try out a text adventure game for the system and it's a Nintendo developed game that features Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, & Hitler. lol

Hmm, going of this, I'll say this:
Zelda-confirmed
Pokémon-confimred
Tokyo Mirage Sessions-confirmed, I believe
Paper Mario-is possible
Federation Force-is probable
Mother 3-Be sceptic on this, I know we all want it, but don't let your hype overrule your judgement
DQ7-confirmed
Rest of amiibo for Smash-Most likely to happen, but may not, figures may need to be worked on more, mainly Cloud and Corrin's, got to make sure their swords aren't to pointy after all.

Edit

Its releasing late June, so no it isn't released yet. And showing it off at E3 should help get more people aware of it, and if they'll want to get it or not

TMS doesn't come out until another week. So it's not too far off to advertise it before hand.

DRAGON QUEST EIGHT OR I RIOT.
The sad part is that even though Zelda U will be shown, people will consider this year to be Nintendo's worst.
Fixed.:p

....I mean....you can already play Mother 3, technically, just through "illegal" means with an unofficial (though I hear it's a very good) translation. And it's free.

It's not that Mother 3 finally getting an official localisation isn't really cool, but saying it makes Nintendo's E3 a good one on it's own is just blind fanaticism. It's a game you can already play for free. From a practical standpoint, Mother 3 getting an official release means nothing. It's just significant from a sentimental standpoint, because it's just nice to see Nintendo finally listen after all these years.

Definitely let me know if you find some hidden gems for the FDS while testing all those games out. :)

Do you have a regular Famicom to use the system with? I don't know your position but a Sharp Twin Famicom might be a better investment as it is already in the AV format and thus can be used on newer TVs (including USA ones).

The sad part is that even though Mother 3 could be revealed, people will consider this year to be Nintendo's worst.

You know what would be the best part of Zelda U's stream tomorrow? We will finally get some closure on all the Sheikah imagery we've been seeing. Maybe we'll also see another big role and appearance for Impa again other than the obvious Zelda.

E3 is pretty disappointing so far tbh

EA had nothing to show.

Bethesda was literally pure screaming throughout the conference. Quake becoming a MOBA is... well eSports hype. Yay? And I guess VR actually has games now, but that really isn't interesting.

And Microsoft's conference is being leaked lol.

There's a difference between pirating a game that is new and on the market, a game that is old and therefore not officially sold anymore anyway, and a game that a company refused to release overseas for like, a decade now.

Pirating games that are currently new and on the market is bad. It kills sales for new installments in a franchise or new IPs period, and that can send the wrong kind of message to a company.

Pirating a game that is not officially sold anymore, like say, Star Fox: Assault, is fine because yes, you could buy a copy on ebay or something, but why do that when the developers don't make a cent off it and you will likely be paying an inflated price anyway?

Pirating something like Mother 3 is perfectly fine because the company who made it didn't make it accessible to everybody. By pirating it and playing it, you can fall in love with it, spread the word, and demand for an official release. Which is what happened with the Mother games.

And then there is pirating a game for modding purposes, like I did with Smash Wii U. That's OK because I own an official copy of the game (*coughplusIgaveNintendoathousandeurosworthbybuyingamiibocough*) and I don't intend to use the dump I downloaded of Smash Wii U for the purpose of distributing it so others can play it for free. I downloaded the dump so I could explore the game's files and play mods on my personal copy of the game. I didn't have the means to make my own dump so I just downloaded one.

Pirates have ethics too.

Just like all the anti-censorship folk planning to pirate Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE because they don't support SJW Nintendumb of America BS. All because they want pelvic bones and cleavage.

#neverforget
Twin Famicom was the version I was going to get! The guy remembered me because my friend and I came in several months ago and purchased the red Twin Famicom (holy ****, does that look beautiful!). He was quite sad when I told him she had returned to the States-- but he told me he would hold onto the next FDS/famiclone console they get (and he replaces the belts, which is how we even started talking in the first place). There's a couple of other places that sell FDS around me, but I might wait as I know this guy will give me a good deal, and it'll work for awhile!

3 of the games don't have labels on them, and I'd need to check the ones with labels to make sure they work/ are the proper game...!

BTW do you have any reading guides/ threads to read? I'm relatively new the FDS info!

I was talking from a toy manufactures perspective, basically the figures base models have to pass the testing phases and all that.

You know what would be the best part of Zelda U's stream tomorrow? We will finally get some closure on all the Sheikah imagery we've been seeing. Maybe we'll also see another big role and appearance for Impa again other than the obvious Zelda.
I somehow doubt we'll get story details for Zelda Wii U, let alone a reveal that Impa is in the game.

To be fair, the gravure scene was a scene of significant character development. All that context is lost when Tsubasa becomes a hipster that is "too into urban culture" (Like a certain classmate from last year).

They said the same about fates. That means TMS will sell amazingly
Maybe, maybe not. After what happened with Star Fox Zero, it will be a miracle if TMS doesn't sell that poor (Being already controversial among SMT and Fire Emblem fans). But idol fan don't care and she wants to become absorbed into this colorful world. :awesome:

and that made it amazing

Xbox conference soonish.

I'm not expecting much other than the Dead Rising 4 reveal, but I hope Killer Instinct makes an appearance.

I had a dream that while hosting the Ubisoft conference Aisha Tyler got to announce they were making an Archer game like South Park Stick of Truth. I woke up crying. I would be so happy.

The joke was that Fates sold successfully despite millions of babies whining about localization changes claiming they'd pirate the game, Star Fox didn't have any 'WAH WAH I CAN'T LOOK AT ****' other than Krystal not being in the game

I ended up settling for a black one myself. It's kind of hard to be picky when importing. Good luck.

No labels? Just cross your fingers for a copy of All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. I saw one on Yahoo Japan Auctions the other week for $2000. lol

I'm not terribly experienced with the FDS just yet. Your best bet is hanging out on Famicom World, especially if you think you'll need technical assistance. NeoGAF's NES/Famicom general thread has a few experienced regular users as well. If you give me some time I could give a decently sized list of games.

One of those is Halo Wars 2 (check the RTS one)

And another one is Sea of Thieves and Killer Instinct (which is pretty much General RAAM)
