Man, I wish I'd known that. I have two copies of Ghost, the second was bought precisely so I could have two pages of naked ladies making out, I mean an uncensored edition. I failed in that goal. My first copy actually remains my go-to just because it's got a much nicer feel. Better paper, mostly. 'S getting a little tattered nowadays, though.

Only games I own currently. I used to own Earthbound, but traded it away like the pile of crap it is. Man, that isn't a game room. That's a museum. Personally, I think anything you don't intend to leave hooked up doesn't count, because it becomes a big production any time you want to use it. With that large a collection, if you're actually using any of it the room will rapidly start looking like a video arcade. The complete collection nonsense is just collectors doing what collectors do: hoarding stuff for the sake of having it. Though there seems to be a fair bit of mean-spirited "I have something you don't have" that permeates the Nintendo collecting community. Only things I could imagine gathering a full set for is systems with small libraries, like the Vectrex or Virtual Boy. Maybe the Game.Com, but that'd mean that I had to play a Game.Com. If the system's library gets much larger than a dozen games it rapidly becomes just a big headache.

That is my assumption, especially given how fast the MiNES was broken. Hopefully Nintendo didn't learn their lesson, or learned the WRONG lesson, now that there's something ACTUALLY WORTH DUMPING. Trufax: I own over half the games on the thing. (11/21)

Scalpers will buy millions of them. They will never appear at retail no matter how many Nintendo makes. You are doomed.

I think it was just the second film. And they didn't even use the awesome Arcee model from the first film's toyline.

Top Gear: Definitely not Days of Thunder

You're not wrong!

It FEELS bigger just because of how bulky it is. 'S like a VF-1 that started bodybuilding and overdosed on steroids.

Didn't watch the video, but there are LOTS of problems with lady robots.

Zanac X Zanac! Holla!

That's hot.

Wouldn't they have to actually print some Macross the First before that? It's been on hiatus for what, two years now?
-
Actually, it was finished at the time and unreleased. Either due to concerns the Super Nintendo would compete with the Ultra 64(as it was known then) or fears people would compare it to the Playstation's 3D(I know, so stupid.

http://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/ Like this? More Nintendo games than the MiNES, and Earthbound is a negative game far as I'm concerned. Still a solid list, though.

Pretender shell last time.

I think you're missing the important thing here. Duke Nukem just lost his crown as most-delayed game everto be released.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The first to offer me a 1:1 VF-1 gets all the moneys.

I won't deny I prefer the presentation of 2036, but it also feels better as a shooter than Scrambled Valkyrie. SV can be a very sluggish game as it plods along at its own relaxed pace, and few of the weapons actually feel like they have any stopping power. 2036's biggest issue in my mind is the lack of free transformation(which is a notable downside given the franchise), but it does a much better job making me fell like I'm in a deadly fighter robot-plane.

There is no second or third saga in Macross. There is no Zor in Macross, no invid in Macross, no anything masters in Macross. Though Macross' protoculture are similar in some respects to Robotech's robotech masters, the two are by no means equivalent. Seriously, over half of the footage in Robotech is from shows that do not exist within the Macross franchise. Everything after Robotech episode 36 is from two other completely unrelated shows, and some of the content before that episode is spliced in from those unrelated shows. And the rewrites to the parts that ARE from Macross range from slight changes in terminology to just flat-out making things up. That is only true of Robotech. In Macross, it stands for variable fighter.

I should really just ignore this, but... you honestly expect people at a site named MacrossWorld to not care? This isn't animenewsnetwork, or wherever the cool kids talk about the latest episode of whatever thousand-episode Shonen Jump cartoon is popular these days. This is, quite literally, a site exclusively for Macross fans. We are, almost by definition, the kind of people that care about even the tiniest of details. OF COURSE we care that a show we dearly love was hacked up, rewritten, and welded together with some unrelated nonsense. Particularly as it was done by a company that basically declared war on us in the 90s, engendering no small amount of ill will in the process. And especially since, some thirty years later, we are STILL explaining that there are no invid or hovertanks or robotech masters or veritechs in Macross.

I hereby that I meant Transformers V as in Victory, not V as in five. Wait, Transformers Victory is already a thing. Vengeance? Velocipede? Vendetta? Yeah, I like Vendetta. Transformers Vendetta: Revenge of the GoBots. ... Look, if the comic books are allowed to completely rewrite the past on a whim, I think I'm allowed a slight retcon every now and then. Also, a reboot won't end things. They aren't magic cures. Batman Begins(the movie that started this whole "needs a reboot" nonsense) was good because it was done by competent people that genuinely cared about doing Batman right, not because it was a reboot. The guys in charge of the Transformers movies don't really know HOW to make a good Transformers movie, despite some valiant efforts(let's be honest here, Dark of the Moon directly copied original cartoon episodes for most of the plot), and will likely wind up attached to any new Transformers movie, even if it IS a whole new world. It'll be Amazing Spiderman all over again: a new continuity done by the people that screwed everything up in the first place. Worse, it will result in there being TWO Bayformers continuities in the TF multiverse instead of one. It LITERALLY makes the situation twice as bad. But I'd be pleased as punch if they just stopped making them.

That's what they WANT you to think. And then once you relax and let your guard down... BAM! Transformers V: Rise of the GoBots.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
JB0 replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Other way around for me. My first Prime was the Powermaster, and there's a soft spot in my heart for what I could tell even at the time was an ugly brick. -
Ah, they're shipping the emulator box. Good riddance to Firecore.

Honestly, The Right Way would've been to send DoctorM64 a formal cease & desist letter sometime before the game was completed. They had FOREVER to send him a formal notice that "this isn't cool and we would quite like it if you didn't release a game full of our legal trademarks. BTW we'll sue your ass if you don't knock it off. So seriously, knock it off." Rough paraphrase, but... that's what a C&D letter paraphrases to. The WRONG way is to wait LITERALLY A DECADE until the game is finished and released, and then immediately issue a series of fraudulent DMCA takedown requests to try and erase it from the internet. Two years ago IS before the fraudulent DMCA takedown requests of August 2016. It doesn't actually excuse them, though. Yes, I am going to keep referring to them as fraudulent takedown requests, because that is what they were. That was not pirated software, Nintendo did not own the copyright to that game. (They own numerous trademarks, but DMCA takedown requests are not actually applicable to trademark infringement. They are only valid for straight-up piracy. ) DoctorM64 doesn't seem particularly bitter, though. He apparently just put this on Twitter: "N won E3 for me, #SamusReturns looks like the Metroid 2 I always wanted to play. Looks like the ANOTHER part of #am2r still makes sense now."
