So..I followed the links. And with every "source" that the blogs used, it got less "click-baitey" until I got to the original Japanese page. There's no political message in there. Its just a game with Pokemon with old men (Ojisan) face. They are making roads. Its a game. Stop trying to making everything political!

Wow.

That's awful.

I hate how we have to bring politics into everything.

Well let's face it. What brings in more views?
That's the primary issue. Also, each article got shorter and shorter. Don't get me wrong the Japanese title has "forced labor simulator" in its title....And there are Graves in the underground passage. But there's nothing by the developer that indicates it was a message on animal crueltly or something against Pokemon. If anything the game comes off as more light hearted than a political message.

The game also isn't that fun

About the Toad thing, they could always give Toad the ability to manipulate the stage... moves based on Beep Blocks (platforms temporarily disappear), Flip Panels (platforms temporarily connect together), Boost Pads (platforms temporarily cause the opponents to lose control of their movements as they are forced to run), and Spinwheels (Toad spins the wheel to make the stage temporarily slanted).

Haha. Isn't that wonderful? :awesome:

Omega stages... and Toad creates temporary platforms. :laugh: like he isn't letting the silly competitive scene rules stop him. :troll:

Nintendo is going to EVO ?
Last year we got that Reggie speach....
Maybe now a new character reveal at EVO.
That would be SO MUCH HYPE.

So just to make sure...

Is Eggerland/Adventure of Lolo series owned by Nintendo or is it a third-party franchise? Most of the releases have come out on the Famicom/NES and the Game Boy Color, but the first two came out on MSX (which granted was before HAL got bought by Nintendo) and the last game came out on Windows '95 exclusively in Japan (Yeah). Adventure of Lolo 1 & 2 also got published by Nintendo when re-released on the Virtual Console.

Well if anyone here hates me I've got some good news. This will be my last post on Smashboards, probably ever.

I'm not going to stand idly by and continue to have my intentions in regards to the death of another human insulted in such a despicable way. To falsely depict me or anyone as some unthinking, unfeeling monster, trying to cash in on a tragedy for such a trivial personal gain is the most deplorable insult I've ever encountered. To be labelled as disrespectful in this instance is painful, untrue, and unjust. I'm no longer going to dignify those involved with a defence against such reprehensible and nasty accusations.

I realise that it's the result of only a handful of people, but there's a huge difference between disagreeing with somebody's opinion, and personally attacking someone over a very real, very important and very sensitive subject, and it isn't something I'm going to be a party to. You know who you are, and you've crossed the line irreparably.

i'm still not sure.
HAL actually has a bunch of other old forgotten games, like arcana, alcahest, and air fortress. (they like A games, evidently.) judging by the last new game being on not-nintendo, probably not? i mean, nintendo published BKO even though bamco still owns it afaict.

Bro I don't think anyone ever attacked your character. If it came off that way then I apologize. It was never my intention. I may have found the idea in bad taste but I never once thought less of you.

Still, I do feel you are taking this a bit far. Blow off some steam come back and see how you feel. I hope that you feel the need to come back and say hello.

Hey now, nobody hates you. I'm pretty sure that everyone is well aware that you meant this with good intentions in mind and that no one is thinking less of you in that regard.

If this has really upset you, then perhaps it may be for the best to take a short break in order to clear your mind a little. When you feel better, I hope you come back to say hi and talk about Smash with us again. ^^

The past few days has been a pretty rough ride for most of us I'd imagine.....

I think you should just take a short break and cool off for a little while. I don't think anybody tried to offend you on purpose. You've been a great friend during speculation and it would be a shame to see you go so take a while to think over it before you make a definite decision.

Both songs are great. I miss Arcade Racers. The racing genre needs it with all the garbage, boring realism NFS and Gran Turismo brought

There is some upcoming indie arcade racer, I forgot its name, but the visual style was an interesting blend of pixel art and polygons. It looked actually pretty cool!

I like Arcade Racers far more than realistic ones. Nothin' more boring then crashing into the wall the whole race cause it's hard to steer.

Im sorry ;-; My intention wasnt to attack you or your character, but to show why I felt the way I did about the way you wanted to tribute to Iwata. Good bye Anvil, hope you come back soon.
