Nintendo Gaming / Switch is so popular people don't even post
« on: December 23, 2023, 06:32:46 PM »
132.2 million?

Back in the Gamecube days the consoles was doing so abysmally poor and everyone was up on here talking all the time.

That's 6 times Gamecube sales!

At least Gamecube had Eternal Darkness.

General Chat / Accounts reaching their 20th Birthday - Caterkiller
« on: February 01, 2023, 07:35:00 AM »
20 years ago I was 18. And Planet Gamecube had just switched forum formats. I started here earlier in 1999. At the time it was Operation N 2000, and simultaneously Planet N 2000. Then It became Planet Gamecube and then NWR. This is the only website I can say I frequented habitually for 20 years. Not even IGN gets that, as I haven't been there in years.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the past 20 years of discussions and interactions on the Nintendo World Report forums. It has been an incredible journey, filled with laughter, excitement, and a shared love for Nintendo.

I am grateful for the friendships I have made, the knowledge I have gained, and the memories I have created through this community. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful experience. Here's to another 20 years of gaming and friendship!









And happy account birthday to IanSane as well!

Movies & TV / The Super Mario Bros. Movie
« on: October 08, 2022, 03:01:18 AM »
It looks good. Surprised there isn't a thread on this considering this is a Nintendo forum. Though, not surprised considering how dead this place is.

There's a thread in talkback, with no replies, and it's to announce there will be a Nintendo direct two days ago.

Anyhow. It looks great visually. The biggest most jarring chatter I hear is "why doesn't he sound like the Mario I know?"

Which amuses me because I remember being 13 years old and thinking "why does Mario suddenly sound like Mickey Mouse?"  This was after playing through Mario's Missing, Watching the Super Mario Bros. The Movie, and several seasons/iterations of the Super Mario Super Show. And he sounded like a gruff guy from Brooklyn instead of a Castrado.

Nintendo Gaming / Happy 20th Birthday Eternal Darkness

I missed it by a few days. But Eternal Darkness was released June 24, 2002.

I just thought about it recently looking through ai generations of Cthulhu medical illustrations. Which reminded me of Edward and Maximilian Roivas.

NWR Forums Discord / Let's talk about teaching about CRT in schools.
« on: December 29, 2021, 02:43:46 PM »
Cathode Ray Tubes were a dominant technology for much of the 20th century. I think kids should know about them, and how they had superior refresh rates and color depth to our current LCD monitors. I recently bought an n64 USB controller and I was playing Mortal Kombat 4 and I noticed there was an amount of input lag that really hindered my ability to perform fatalities. I think if CRT monitors were lighter we'd still be using them.

I missed Europa Universalis IV, which I wanted to get. Sigh. It seems like the weeks I forget about the store that's when the really good games pop on.

Movies & TV / Super Mario Bros. The Movie Extended Morton-Jankel Cut.
« on: June 07, 2021, 02:07:14 AM »
It looks like Archive.org has an extended cut of Super Mario Bros. The Movie.
I watched it, it was interesting to see the additions. Some things that were spliced in that I remember from the VHS version, which I guess are not in the DVD cuts. I bought the DVD years ago, but I don't think I ever got around to watching it. Had I watched the DVD I probably would have thought I had seen some Mandela Version in the 90s. There were a few extended things like the car chase scene that made me think "why would you cut that out? Don't cut action!"

https://archive.org/details/super-mario-bros-1993-the-morton-jankel-cut-extended-vhs/Super+Mario+Bros+1993+The+Morton+Jankel+Cut+Extended+VHS.mp4

Restoration commentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-4yy9oBKN4

"The film as released runs 104 minutes. This extended version runs a full 125 minutes, with 20 minutes of additional scenes. The editing has also been reworked throughout, and restored by filmmaker Garrett Gilchrist, well known for his restoration of The Thief and the Cobbler and many Muppet projects.

This version uses VHS sources for most of the film, for consistency. Otherwise identical edits sourced from DVD and Blu-Ray also exist, as well as a general restored workprint. We are exploring our options and further work will be done on this film later. However, the Archive Team has decided to release this version of the edit early, for the film's anniversary, and see what the fans think of it.

Previously-unseen deleted scenes include the Mario Bros running afoul of the (probably Mafia-connected) Scapelli plumbing company, Koopa murdering a technician by de-evolving him into slime, and Iggy and Spike rapping about the overthrow of King Koopa at the Boom Boom Bar. (Along with some dancing women who were censored for the theatrical cut.) There's more of Lena, Daniella and the Brooklyn Girls. Most scenes are extended in this version, with a lot more of the cast including Dennis Hopper as Koopa.

This edit attempts to do justice to a longer, earlier VHS workprint, but was not supervised by the directors directly. A future release may incorporate their notes."

NWR Forums Discord / Name That movie 2
« on: May 23, 2021, 06:55:09 PM »
We're going to play a new version of this game.

In the old version we would substitute an actors other role in another movie and or an approximation of what their character is and use our movie knowledge to solve the movie riddle.

In this version we'll point out how weird a movie is by using critical theory to make the movies sound like the absurdities they are. We'll still do the other thing too.

First Movie
After years a grooming a female senator starts a sexual relationship with a teenager in a priesthood. Another priest follows leads towards uncovering experiments being undertaken by the government.  The teenage priest undertakes a journey to his homeland where he finds that his mother has been kidnapped. He finds her and she dies. He murders a whole village in anger.

Movies & TV / Actor Casting Sudoku Game
« on: December 19, 2020, 10:18:11 PM »
Alright. So, I've been thinking about this for years. If you could cast a different actor for a movie or the TV version of that movie, who would it be? Many choices come to mind. Some are based on resemblance, some are based on range, some are bast on typecast, some are odd choices.

So this movie came out over 30 years ago. It was really popular. We can imagine that it didn't come out. Imagine it got thrown around different production teams, countries, was considered for TV. I've picked alternate actors for each main part. What movie is this based on this cast group? Bonus if you can name the theme of each row. and it isn't This is the End.



What movie is this alternate casting for?

A lot of world building in these two episodes.  In this series you can just follow the present plot-line, but there is a very complicated interconnected plot-line going on as well throughout the series. I feel like I'm watching the show backward.

Movies & TV / Unsolved Mysteries
« on: July 07, 2020, 05:40:52 PM »
On Episode 1. I think Rey Rivera was thrown out of a helicopter. His trajectory from the roof to the other roof seems to be too far. The longest long jump is 29 feet. He was like 45 feet from the ledge. The only way you could jump that far is if you were on the moon, and even then you probably couldn't get the running start for a launch off. Though, I kinda want to map out how he could possibly jump that far. Usually on a track the ground stops your trajectory.

General Gaming / E3 2020 Cancelled

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2020/03/11/e3-2020-reportedly-cancelled-due-coronavirus-concerns/

Sony isn't the only one skipping e3 now. E3 is skipping E3

E3 was a great thing during the 90s, but has become increasingly pointless with the advance in video streaming technology. This year it's not only pointless but a public health concern.

Movies & TV / Mad Max Movies
« on: February 14, 2020, 03:37:54 PM »
So, Mad Max 5 is back on.

I hope they recast Max. Fury Road was fantastic, but I feel like Tom Hardy was miscast. They need somebody who isn't a huge name involved in various tent-pole  franchises.

I also guessone of the reasons Mad Max is back on because George Miller is involved with Village Roadshow and Joker made Village Roadshow 500 million dollars.

I cosplayed as Max once


I was so drunk
