    I love the pigs mating in this picture. Not that I'm into beastiality, just in this picture the expressions on their faces are hilarious. One of them is obviously having a great time, the other not so much.

    Apparently Kathleen DeVere drew that picture. She's pretty good.

    Yes, I did. Thanks for the compliment. I also drew the Darksider's B-Team from last week's episode as well.

    Okay, I've re-viewed the video, and uh, basically, I just thought the "Nintendo taking a dump on op. Rainfall" and "Fuck you, Capcom", while legitimate sentiments, were, in conjunction, too crass for my tastes. I guess I would have preferred if they had made a quip about how MM3D would need more support than Operation Rainfall, highlighting Ninty's spotty record of listening to their fans. Actually, the end "Fuck you" bit might have had more impact had the crew used more restraint, or were more subtle, about their use of outright insults in the previous segments. There was a golden opportunity for a "the gloves are off" moment concerning Capcom that was sadly missed.

    I do believe obscenity has a place in comedy, but the more you use it, the less funny it is.

    By the way, I've just done a little research and found out that Operation Rainfall has less than 8 thousand likers on facebook, compared to Megaman Legends 3's 38 k. Were I a NoA executive looking at those numbers, I would not be immediately convinced that the american sales would offset the cost of production and distribution.

    This video was posted on a web comic site that uses the word fuck, along with often portrayals of hideous violence, on a triweekly basis.

    The 'fuck you, Capcom' was well deserved. Thank you for another awesome episode.

    ADORABLE PIGLETS.

    yeah uh I don't want to come off as hostile or anything but if those sorts of things offend you how on earth did you end up on the penny arcade forums

    That whole "fuck off Capcom" moment was the first genuine laugh out loud moment I've had watching the series. Caught me completely off-guard

    I came into this thread about to post the exact same thing. That was hilarious.

    I'm still kind of baffled by Capcom's shit with MML3

    like

    they honestly expected fans to make a game for them, and then pay them to play the game that they made?

    Yes, but the image is just a bunch of stars. I pulled it from some Japanese Tumblr that just collected derpy pictures. The URL is sadly lost to time and my browser history.

    Nintendo of America, on Project Rainfall:
    Thank you for your enthusiasm. We promised an update, so here it is. We never say never, but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!

    [sarcasm]You'd think they would want to add more franchises to their current lineup, that don't involve rehashing older ones.[/sarcasm]

    did anyone seriously think Nintendo was gonna budge on that

    Didn't we go through this shit with mother 3 already a few years ago

  • Good Looking Fat GuyGood Looking Fat Guy West Hartford, CTRegistered User regular
    Mother 3 may have partially failed to materialize due to the 64DD never getting off the ground.

    uhhh

    you know mother 3 came out on the GBA, right

    and that it was fantastic

    and it never got localized in spite of a ton of fan requests

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    I don't know why people keep trying things like that

    I've never seen a single scrap of evidence that nintendo cares about its fans

    admittedly, listening to hardcore fans is rarely a good idea to begin with, but still

    this was my original point?

    Mother 3 had a lot of issues that made not localizing it make some sense besides "we don't wanna". The Rainfall games don't have any of that (plus they're being localized for English speaking countries already!) so it makes extremely less sense why they're not being brought to the US.

    The biggest reason was that it was a GBA game that would have been released after the DS was out. The second biggest reason was that the story is much darker than Earthbound's to the degree that people wondered if it would have gotten a T if localized (nowadays it probably would get an E10+ but that didn't exist back then). The juxtaposition of the cutsy graphics with the dark mature story exacerbated that issue as well. Here's a huge huge spoiler that touches on how much darker the story is compared to Earthbound:
    The main character's mother is killed during the game. The main character's twin brother attempts to get revenge and ends up almost dead. He's rescued by the main villain but is corrupted and twisted into being his henchman. At the end of the game you fight him and the way the fight ends is him committing suicide.

    There's other issues like the Magypsies and the Underwater Breathing Apparatus that would have required complete and total changes no matter what. And since the Magypsies are entwined with the story that would take a lot of work.
