Those words don't invalidate anybody's case against you, just saying.

They don't invalidate others' cases, they back up mine.

I'm a little confused about this guy, he works professionally in the video game/anime translation industry (such as for Kingdom Hearts II), yet also did the unofficial Mother 3 translation. Now, I'd think that should have put him in a tight spot, but he apparently was praised by many companies including Square-Enix (and he FAN translated two of their games while WORKING for them: Bahamut Lagoon and Star Ocean) and even Nintendo-of-America members. 0_o You'd think they would be negative about or his job would be in peril, but that's not the case . . . . sometimes I really don't get legality . . . . .

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

So... I beat Baten Kaitos. The next-to-ending scene shows the big bad guy(girl) getting her "Womanly thing". No lie. Why the **** is that in a jrpg?




Edited it because being blunt about it could be bad.

"Womanly thing" =...ugh.. "."

 

[M.K]

Getting her period? You don't have to censor that.
Though that is slightly weird, I've seen stranger.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Ah well, just wanted to be careful. XD

I don't know, it was way out there. She died and was "revived by the powers of god" and what not. And then she falls to the ground and her maid says "What's wrong..oh your bleeding..oh you've become a woman!!"

Seriously >_>Only thing that tops that for me is Dark Cloud's weird psychic profiter doing a dance with her junk on your face.

*head asplode*

Thats just... confusing. Considering Nintendo's status with ROMs, his job should've been done for by now. ._.

Oh well, at least I know what other RPGs that aren't Final Fantasy or Nintendo's RPGs that I can think about trying out

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

So... Melee is awesome. Almost unlocked all the characters, and got Mewtwo. He is awkward, but he seems like the character that is like "once I master him, I'll be hard to beat".

I actually love this so much, I replaced Toon Link's icon with Mewtwos. I'll never play competitive, but I can say I love Melee over Brawl, and Mewtwo is my <3.

Though since I want to 100% both (bar-trophies on Melee), it's not like it'll never get played.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Woah wait. Your girlfriend has a maid? Or did I miss something?

 

[Tomo Takino]

No that was from a game Tery lol. If his girl had a maid, I don't think they would be working to go to college haha.

[Pete278]

I have a friend who acts as my maid sometimes, but she never cleans anything, if you know what I mean.

 

[Tomo Takino]

Maidby I do, maidby I don't know what you mean.

 

[Pete278]

It all started one day when I maid her cosplay.

 

[UltiMario]

Oh man terrible puns all up in this hizzouse!

*shot*

 

[Wave⁂]

I don't think I've ever maid such a hilarious pun before.

 

[Enzo]

i don't think i've ever maid such a hilarious pun before.

loooooooooooooooooool

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Puns are everywhere in this world :D

Just look at Pichu.

 

[Wave⁂]

I prefer the Gold-breeding-Pika-and-Chuchu explanation of Pichu's name.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I was thinking of melee Pichu. My mind is on that at the moment, <3333 Mewtwo D:

 

[Blissard]

I swept a team with a Lv 1 Endeavor Clefable...it was sad, cause my opponent thought that it was Lv 100...

 

[Fuelbi]

I just bought Spore today. It was the only one in the store and it was the galactic edition. Hopefully it's as good as it looks and if it's worth the 40 bucks that my dad had to pay :/

SPORE :D

One of the best games ever

 

[M.K]

I did enjoy Spore. Alot.

Make sure to put wings on your creature. Best decision I ever made.
Terrestrial phase was the best IMO.

 

[Fuelbi]

Really? I heard it was lackluster


I was curious after seeing some creatures in Sporepedia so now I got the game to see how it was.


And btw, I hear you can be either a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore. Which is the best option?

 

[Enzo]

Hmmmmm. currently having second thoughts on buying gold and silver. Should i just w8 for black and white?
It's coming out in the US soon rite?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

If you can wait until around April of next year, then I guess.

 

[Enzo]

If you can wait until around April of next year, then I guess.

Ewww.... i thoguht it was in the holiday season of this year.

Do most people in the poke center play shoddy/pokemon online only or also play the ds one somewhat

 

[Fuelbi]

Man Spore is a really good game. It's really fun to destroy other creatures... Yeah...


This is what I got so far btw

Man, having wings is such a life saver. If I need to gtfo of a bad situation, I can just fly out of there...

 

[Tacel]

SPORE is worth a lot more than what you buy it for.
I gotta play SPORE sometime soon again.
Like right now.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I kinda wanna try some Minecraft after watching SSoHPKC play it and stuff.

 

[Fuelbi]

SPORE is worth a lot more than what you buy it for.

Especially the galactic edition. You get a whole crapload of stuff bundled AND you get even MORE in game content as it appears you can get out of your spaceship when you're in the space stage or whatever.


Btw, I saw a wild Charmander.... let's just say that there won't be any more trainers with Charmanders in the future

 

[Tacel]

Space stage is the best.

 

[Fuelbi]

****, you made that? That looks hardcore right there... or at least I think so. The eyes are so lol though. Cooler than what I got atm :/

 

[Wave⁂]

Poke Center Minecraft server?

YES

 

[Tacel]

****, you made that? That looks hardcore right there... or at least I think so. The eyes are so lol though. Cooler than what I got atm :/

Thanks. Yeah, that's my original guy in Galactic Adventures.

Well months and months ago I had finally taked the Galactic Disc out of my computer and I put it somewhere. Now I can't play Galactic Adventures without it. It's not even in the case.
This sucks.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Poke Center Minecraft server?

YES

Is it going to like kill my computer if I download it (I assume I'm going to have to download it)?

 

[Wave⁂]

lololol

You can play Minecraft in your browser.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Well in that case, I think I know what I'll be doing once I finish my AP Psych. homework.

 

[Fuelbi]

Thanks. Yeah, that's my original guy in Galactic Adventures.

This sucks.

Man, that looks really cool. And I'm sorry about you losing the disc. Sucks how they make you actually put the CD in your computer to actually PLAY the game :/

Also, just got out of the creature stage into the tribal stage

...yeah... Man, the tribal stage sucks. I've always hated those type of games where you have to manage cities and ****. I mean, I like games like Civilization, but I REALLY suck at those kinds of games. I really suck at managing things :/

*head asplode*

Thats just... confusing. Considering Nintendo's status with ROMs, his job should've been done for by now. ._.

That's exactly what I was thinking, heck, on Nintendo's official site (more specifically this page) you can find this set of paragraphs:

[collapse=Nintendo's page discussing ROMs]
What are Nintendo ROMS?

A Nintendo ROM ("Read Only Memory") is the type of chip used in Nintendo's video game cartridge which contains the game software. However, this term is commonly used on many gaming sites on the Internet and refers to game data that was copied from an authentic Nintendo video game cartridge.

What is a Nintendo Video Game Emulator?

A Nintendo emulator is a software program that is designed to allow game play on a platform that it was not created for. A Nintendo emulator allows for Nintendo console based or arcade games to be played on unauthorized hardware. The video games are obtained by downloading illegally copied software, i.e. Nintendo ROMs, from Internet distributors. Nintendo ROMs then work with the Nintendo emulator to enable game play on unauthorized hardware such as a personal computer, a modified console, etc.

Can I Download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I Already Own the Authentic Game?

There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.

How Does Nintendo Feel About the Emergence of Video Game Emulators?

The introduction of emulators created to play illegally copied Nintendo software represents the greatest threat to date to the intellectual property rights of video game developers. As is the case with any business or industry, when its products become available for free, the revenue stream supporting that industry is threatened. Such emulators have the potential to significantly damage a worldwide entertainment software industry which generates over $15 billion annually, and tens of thousands of jobs.

What Does Nintendo Think of the Argument that Emulators are Actually Good for Nintendo Because it Promotes the Nintendo Brand to PC Users and Leads to More Sales?

Distribution of an emulator developed to play illegally copied Nintendo software hurts Nintendo's goodwill, the millions of dollars invested in research & development and marketing by Nintendo and its licensees. Substantial damages are caused to Nintendo and its licensees. It is irrelevant whether or not someone profits from the distribution of an emulator. The emulator promotes the play of illegal ROMs , NOT authentic games. Thus, not only does it not lead to more sales, it has the opposite effect and purpose.

How Come Nintendo Does Not Take Steps Towards Legitimizing Nintendo Emulators?

Emulators developed to play illegally copied Nintendo software promote piracy. That's like asking why doesn't Nintendo legitimize piracy. It doesn't make any business sense. It's that simple and not open to debate.

People Making Nintendo Emulators and Nintendo ROMs are Helping Publishers by Making Old Games Available that are No Longer Being Sold by the Copyright Owner. This Does Not Hurt Anyone and Allows Gamers to Play Old Favorites. What's the Problem?

The problem is that it's illegal. Copyrights and trademarks of games are corporate assets. If these vintage titles are available far and wide, it undermines the value of this intellectual property and adversely affects the right owner. In addition, the assumption that the games involved are vintage or nostalgia games is incorrect. Nintendo is famous for bringing back to life its popular characters for its newer systems, for example, Mario and Donkey Kong have enjoyed their adventures on all Nintendo platforms, going from coin-op machines to our latest hardware platforms. As a copyright owner, and creator of such famous characters, only Nintendo has the right to benefit from such valuable assets.

Isn't it Okay to Download Nintendo ROMs for Games that are No Longer Distributed in the Stores or Commercially Exploited? Aren't They Considered "Public Domain"?

No, the current availability of a game in stores is irrelevant as to its copyright status. Copyrights do not enter the public domain just because they are no longer commercially exploited or widely available. Therefore, the copyrights of games are valid even if the games are not found on store shelves, and using, copying and/or distributing those games is a copyright infringement.

Haven't the Copyrights for Old Games Expired?

U.S. copyright laws state that copyrights owned by corporations are valid for 75 years from the date of first publication. Because video games have been around for less than three decades, the copyrights of all video games will not expire for many decades to come.

Can Websites and/or Internet Content Providers be Held Liable for Violation of Intellectual Property Rights if they are Only Providing Links to Illegal Software and/or Other Illegal Devices?

Yes. Personal Websites and/or Internet Content Providers sites That link to Nintendo ROMs, Nintendo emulators and/or illegal copying devices can be held liable for copyright and trademark violations, regardless of whether the illegal software and/or devices are on their site or whether they are linking to the sites where the illegal items are found.

[/collapse]

They seem slightly looser on the subject than this implies (i.e. after looking up some emulators, most of the ones for older games have been around for 8+ years apparently), but not by much, and I'm 99% positive that if Nintendo had any reason to create the Virtual Console [other than to introduce new gamers to older games], it was to give emulator users less ground to use the "oh, but u guyz dun cell et no moe" excuse.
