Oh-HO.

Remember that Nickelodeon cartoon that was discussed a while ago?

Somebody on GAF might have heard something.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1328337&page=3 (NSFW warning for being a site that doesn't censor language)

80's, 8-bit, and at first was said to not be mentioned but then apparently was mentioned once and they missed it. They won't say exactly what it is because they don't want to get anyone in trouble. It's also apparently a property well liked of GAF.

Hang on, I'm gonna do a quick count. They could always be lying, but they sound human enough to be worth a shot to me.

I love the number of guesses on there for Kid Icarus even though it's absolutely not happening, it totally needs a cartoon.

Anyway. . .I'm not sure based on their saying they missed it. Pretty much everything popular enough to be "world famous" was brought up twice or more prior to them saying that. The closest I can guess is "Not Mario or Zelda" because those were brought up way too much to be missed.

. . .Actually, Castlevania of all things seems to be what best fits the description, both in terms of how easy it was to miss and things brought up by various people afterwards. The main thing that's odd is that now of all times would be when Konami would allow anything to be greenlighted, but then companies that have reputations for not treating their own properties well usually don't mind loaning them out so who knows.

*EDIT* They confirmed Castlevania was what they heard.

Super Princess Peach was more sexist than Mario just rescuing her

Luigi's Mansion too. (Unless they mean a game where he needs to be specifically saved by a female characters like Peach....)

That's honestly the reason I can't fault a lot of folks for trying to forget it. :p

Having another go at a Super Princess Peach type of game could be neat though. You know...without making Peach's unstable emotions be her weapon of choice, and leaving out anything like the..."Vibe Scepter." I mean, she has latent magical abilities. Let's see more of those.

The only magic ive seen peach do was float. Unless I missed her fighting. I mean, half of her attacks in smash is slapping, hitting with objects and booty bumping

Maybe she finds a double sided vibe scepter and it allows her and Princess Daisy to change their emotions

Peach sometimes uses something like "Heart Magic" in the Mario games, most prominently in some of the sports games and RPG's. Heck she even uses it in some of her moves in Smash.

I'd love to see them explore Peach's Heart Magic more
After all, Heart is an Awesome Power

Peach being playable in another RPG would be nice tbh. Probably not a possibility with Paper Mario, but it could work in Mario & Luigi.

What a masterful trainwreck of a movie <3
I've only seen clips, but yet I both love it and hate it at the same time. My Mario franchise fan inside me hates it, but the other half of me loves it because of how terrible it is :laugh:

Unbelievable. SJWs have becomes a parody of themselves.

View attachment 124036
Just as much of a parody like people who cry that Nintendo's localizers are idiots who can't translate because of jokes or doing their actual jobs, or ****ing braindead morons who claim Nintendo Treehouse should all be fired because the stupid person THINKS the religious themes MIGHT be removed

I find it hysterical that Cena's able to book himself in to World title matches without any approval from the GM let alone having to qualify.

Also Cena pretty much confirmed that he's going to bury the New Era. :estatic:
I like this new cena.He's aware he has few years left and isnt gonna be left in the background.Also come on now. Cena is what 1-4 this year right? he lost to Aj 3 times and lost to dean on SD?Seems like the new era is buring him

Down on the corner, out in the street.
Apparently OBE1 has a source stating that the a new Assassin's Creed game (that takes place in Egypt) will release on the Switch, along side the other versions of the game.

Yes, THAT OBE1. He's also being backed up by LKD, so there's more credence to his source being legit.

Just in case... :079:

I have a bit of a hard time understanding the amount of fuss over Mario, especially considering there's far worse depictions of women that people turn a blind eye to. I guess it's just a difference of view, though, since these types seem to claim that the more popular something with sexism is the worse the sexism is and that the actual degree of sexism doesn't count so much as the popularity of something that has any sexism at all, whereas I. . .don't exactly see it that way. It almost feels more like piggybacking for attention rather than trying to deal with the real problems and as though it belittles dealing with any form of sexism by not dealing with the things everyone would agree are sexist first but are never brought to attention and then working their way down once society actually sees there's a major issue and worse things have been dealt with, but different people have different ways of seeing things.

But then, I don't play Mario games unless he's crossing over with something I like anyway. Granted, most of the games I like would probably be called sexist too, but there's often some kind of complication that makes it a whole other kettle of (typically unaddressed) tropes. And then there's Splatoon, which actually does have women bailing out men and depending on your player character can be nothing BUT women bailing out men.

I'm of the mind that trying to hide away anything and everything sexist isn't going to help, because then stupid people are going to forget sexism exists and even dumber people will continue being sexist without ever being called out. Political correctness gone mad is political correctness that's going to backfire horribly by enabling sexism through it's misguided attempt to stop it. I'd rather people drag the more serious stuff out into the open than hide the more minor stuff in a tiny corner and hope the elephant in the room leaves if they pretend it doesn't exist.

As for characters, I'd prefer it if people wrote their female characters the exact same way they wrote their male characters, possibly minus the offhand perversion some male characters have. Female characters tend to be BORING. Where's the female Large Hams and Hot Blooded Shonen types and slapstick idiots? And when they are there, when are they ever written with half as much passion as the men or without this huge "And she's a GIRL" sticker stuck to them? I don't see needing more female characters or more powerful ones as the issue I have, we have plenty of both already. I'd like more female characters that are actually CHARACTERS instead of woman-shaped things for people to project themselves onto. But any example of having an actual personality would almost certainly be treated as sexist by certain types. . .

I think it's the same thing as when PETA started calling out Pokemon Black and White for animal cruelty or even when they called out Mario for the animal cruelty toward tanukis

Seeing that news of the SMB movie being released on blu-ray reminded me of this video. It's a great watch on the whole disaster story that was the production of the whole thing.
