The Other M timeline is just Other M sitting on it's own separate from the rest of the series, right?

So you're saying it is the only canon title.

 

[georly]

Went to target, they had everyone except Bowser and DK. They also had plushies. Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Diddy kong, and I think mario? I got the red pikmin.

They only had 1 link, 1 wario, 1 waluigi, the rest had 2.

Sah, when I go looking for bowser/DK, if I see another link, i'll score it for you.

I'll take more 'back of the box' pics on request.

i'm glad waluigi's game appearances are finally canon brilliant

Those look so cool! I might go get a few of these. Are you going to open them?

Mario canon is too complex for my brain to deal with.

Where does Hotel Mario fit in?

 

[BGBW]

I'd likely just get Wario and Waluigi.

I'm keeping link/pikmin plush, giving the rest away as christmas gifts

Spoiler

to my immediate family

I already have the link figma and a bunch of other link figures, so I might keep this one in the box.

 

[Subtervotion]

I also wish Sakurai would just say "fuck it" to non-canon representation in Smash. Dr. Mario was his own character in Melee. So why not? I would have loved to see Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf/Link/Zelda instead of the same ass Twilight Princess versions again.

I would buy the living fuck out of those alts. Specifically Zelda and Sheik.

I need that Waluigi figure in my life.

good god

He's aging backwards!

 

[Azure J]

Fusion is technically the last game in the Metroid timeline and Samus was tolerable in that. She just had a bout of bad gas or something during Other M.

Also I made the OT for The Mysterious Murasame Castle, which comes out TOMORROW on 3DS. You should all buy it.

Read through the OP, posted and left the thread before I even saw the tagline title. Takamaru Support Group? Nice. :lol

It wouldn't be the same without Impa. Impa started the hype train for that game's character designs. That said, sign me up in a hot minute for Scarf Link, Queen Zelda, and Fabondorf.

Hey, that's that Brawl trophy description for Waluigi!

 

[diaspora]

As far as Other M is concerned... well, at least Miyamoto prefers the Prime games.

 

[-Horizon-]

Sakurai went full j-pop/rock on us at 42 lol

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

You guys are describing canon in a series that featured Mario and Dr. Mario as two separate characters.

They are separate characters though.

Mario's full name is Mario Mario.

Dr. Mario is a Mario Brother who is a doctor. He's a third brother.

 

[Toxi]

Hey guys, can you spare 365 smackaroos?

(Holy shit this stuff is expensive. Cool, but expensive.)

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Mario canon is too complex for my brain to deal with.

Where does Hotel Mario fit in?

It's a result of a timeline where Mario failed to defeat Donkey Kong.

 

[JoeInky]

Typical Miyamoto and his toxic gameplay-first philosophies.

Oh my god.

Hey, that's that Brawl trophy description for Waluigi!

It is indeed!

A twig-thin man who sees himself as Luigi's ultimate rival. He spent a long time working silently in the shadow of the Mario Bros. before finally becoming strong enough to compete with them in Mario Tennis. Since then, he's had many brilliant game appearances. While the nature of his relationship to Wario is a mystery, the pair have hatched some devious schemes together.

You lucky man!!!

There were 5-ish employees in the toy aisles, most of them were half-empty, so I assume today was 'put out the new toys' day, which is how I was able to get them all, I think.

You might want to go to your local target today (now?) if you wanna try and snag some.

 

[OricWindstar]

Hey guys, can you spare 365 smackaroos?


(Holy shit this stuff is expensive. Cool, but expensive.)

That's why I don't ever buy those things. I've been tempted to buy a few (that one included), but as soon as you justify getting one you're potentially opening the floodgates to a very expensive hobby. Video games are costing me enough as it is!

 

[Hatchtag]

Wait, the picture age 23 is really Sakurai? I've always assumed that was Miyamoto and people were just trolling. Jesus Christ. The man reverse ages!

 

[Golnei]

Typical Miyamoto and his toxic gameplay-first philosophies.

I'd also factor in his heavy influence on Prime 1's development. In a sense, the series could be said to be his baby as well.

Spoiler

I'm not sorry.

Oh my god.

Gameplay married to some of my favourite lore of any scifi game.

 

[Forkball]

Yes it is him. .

Sakurai, Miyamoto, and Iwata in 1993.

Wait, how involved was Miyamoto in the Prime series?

 

[Caladrius]

Wait, how involved was Miyamoto in the Prime series?

He co-directed the first game.

 

[diaspora]

Wait, how involved was Miyamoto in the Prime series?

IIRC, he worked with Retro on the development of Prime 1.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Is Wario's description the same as his Brawl trophy as well?

 

[OricWindstar]

He co-directed the first game.

IIRC, he worked with Retro on the development of Prime 1.

Holy shit, I never knew that! And that guy is my fucking hero.

 

[JoeInky]

The lore around the Metroid Prime series is straight up my favourite out of any videogame, nevermind just sci-fi.

 

[Toxi]

Yes it is him. .

Sakurai, Miyamoto, and Iwata in 1993.

God Iwata, you suck at drawing Kirby.

Wait, how involved was Miyamoto in the Prime series?

Just the first game. He had input on a lot of stuff like the visor system, and basically suggested Retro take the project in the first place.

He co-directed the first game.

Just produced, not directed. Mark Pacini was the director.

 

[PadWarrior]

Yes it is him. .

Sakurai, Miyamoto, and Iwata in 1993.

Wow

 

[C.Olimar788]

Oh man, I ran into those World of Nintendo brand things yesterday. I was just meandering through Target, minding my own business, when my sister and I found a red Pikmin plush and freaked out.

We went over to Toys R Us and they had a bunch of them, though they were more expensive there than Target. They had the Bowser and DK figures there - the DK one was really weirdly proportioned, though, and had a huge head.

Hey guys, can you spare 365 smackaroos?


(Holy shit this stuff is expensive. Cool, but expensive.)

Don't tempt me.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Even if it's still going, it may get combined with the OT for the 3DS game. *shrug*

Nope, 3DS OT is going to be its own, and we will keep daily image thread for Wii U pictures and people who skipped 3DS.

 

[forest]

Sakurai looks like he's fucking 14. He's got special aging powers just like Kojima!

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Just wanted to ask two burning questions I've had for this:

1) What sort of single player mode does this game have? I heard they got rid of the story mode from last time? I hope its not just some random fight/ladder deal.

2) Why haven't they settled on a release date for this yet? It seems ridiculous that this is supposed to be a 2014 title and it had no sold date still.

 

[Beelzebufo]

The lore around the Metroid Prime series is straight up my favourite out of any videogame, nevermind just sci-fi.

Really? There's not that much of it. It's all very vague, it's really just a way to get across gameplay concepts.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

How much is the Pikmin plush?

 

[Toxi]

I'm so glad Nintendo is moving on to better figure makers like GoodSmile.

Figma Samus is godlike.

If she had her Super Metroid or Prime 2 look with the shoulder ridges, she'd be beyond godlike.

Or the Phazon Suit or Light Suit hnnnnnngh

 

[Caladrius]

Just the first game. He had input on a lot of stuff like the visor system, and basically suggested Retro take the project in the first place.

Ah, my mistake. Though considering how involved Miyamoto tended to get the line is probably a smidge blurry.

I love you ;____;

Thanks, strongly appreciate the thought.

Thread Title Poll for Thread 12 is now live. QUOTE TO REVEAL LINK!!! Runoff will happen at Page 380/190 if the gap between 1st and second is less than 5 votes.

Once again, winner of the title poll isn't guarantee to be used. Keep it in your mind if you see different title.

 

[Durden77]

That's very untrue.

Like people said before, it's 1 link per shipment (box?), it seems, so no promises! I'll try target again on friday and also Toys R Us.
