| Feb 13, 2024, 5:43 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox 64 | Nintendo's very first game to have full voice acting almost had the characters voiced by the development team. I suppose this intention was before Nintendo tasked Seattle based voice actors for most of their games when they started to use voice acting, though it can explain why Leslie Swan would voice Peach in the western versions of SM64 and MK64. |
| Feb 12, 2024, 8:54 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic X Shadow Generations | Never mind, it actually has the Expanded Game tag, meaning it can have a VGFacts page, unlike Sonic Colours Ultimate despite it's differences and additional features. |
| Feb 9, 2024, 7:04 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Alone in the Dark | Did not mean to report this submission, what I said was meant for the comments. Basically I was wondering if an upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5 game might have something to do with the cancelled Alone In The Dark remake being referred to. |
| Feb 7, 2024, 1:52 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic X Shadow Generations | Thought Sonic X Shadow Generations was marked as a remaster on IGDB, the sorts of games that currently aren't able to have VGFacts pages. |
| Feb 5, 2024, 6:00 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson | This submission was revised before publishing to account for this, and also added info from the source about another preview in the same magazine issue. |
| Feb 5, 2024, 5:19 PM | ProtoSnake | Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson | I was told it was fine. Besides, I found it on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senran_Kagura#Controversy). |
| Feb 5, 2024, 4:15 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson | I never said the fact itself was opinionated, just the wording used. |
| Feb 5, 2024, 4:15 PM | ProtoSnake | Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson | More like factual rather than opinionated. It highlights the criticism from the Official Nintendo Magazine UK toward the Senran Kagura series, specifically Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson, and the subsequent response from Hatsuu, Production Coordinator at Xseed Games. The article does not express a personal opinion but rather reports on events and statements made by the involved parties. |
| Feb 5, 2024, 3:20 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson | I think the wording of this reads as a bit opinionated. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 11:24 PM | chocolatejr9 | Platform: Nintendo Switch | Going off of Wikipedia, that would depend on whether or not the debt would count as "grossly disproportional to the gravity of the defendant’s offense" (see United States v. Bajakajian, the first and currently only time a fine was declared unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment). |
| Feb 2, 2024, 2:21 PM | Venomspino | Game: Sonic Battle | Plus they mentioned E-123 Omega, and Shadow has his memories. So it would take place after Shadow. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 8:02 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic Battle | Well whenever Sonic Battle does take place would have to be after the events of Sonic Heroes, the game that showed what became of Shadow after Sonic Adventure 2, although it wasn't exactly the first time to establish his partnership with Rouge. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 4:50 AM | Venomspino | Game: Sonic Battle | That honestly is dumb, because Advance 3 is canon, and Gemerl is based on Emerl. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 3:17 AM | Shockwave | Platform: Nintendo Switch | good to put away a couple of pirates but at the same time, did Nintendo break the 8th amendment with the large amount of debt? |
| Feb 2, 2024, 2:16 AM | ProtoSnake | Platform: Nintendo Switch | Thanks a lot. The more, the merrier. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 12:06 AM | MehDeletingLater | Platform: Nintendo Switch | All good, had a tab still open and was able to recover it. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 12:04 AM | Petie | Platform: Nintendo Switch | I think we edited this at the same time and I overwrote your changes - sorry about that! Looks like you were able to get it back though. |
| Feb 2, 2024, 12:00 AM | MehDeletingLater | Platform: Nintendo Switch | This has all been added to the submission, thank you. |
| Feb 1, 2024, 6:46 PM | VinchVolt | Platform: Nintendo Switch | Might be worth rewording this for the sake of improving the flow of it. Something like this: "In 2020, hackers Gary Bowser and Max "MAXiMiLiEN" Louarn were arrested and extradited to the United States for money laundering and selling products meant to crack the Nintendo Switch's copy protection to run pirated copies of games. The two were members of Team Xecuter, a hacking group which specialized in similar measures for a large number of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft consoles. In 2021, Bowser pled guilty on conspiracy and trafficking charges and was sentenced to 40 months in prison; Nintendo later filed a separate civil suit against him, which together with the prison sentence left him $14.5 million in debt. The company's legal department claimed during the court case that the unusually severe punishments were intended to send a chilling effect through the piracy world, intimidating would-be hackers by using Bowser's punishment as an example. Following the case, multiple news outlets noted the irony of Gary Bowser's last name, which is shared with Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser and Mario series antagonist Bowser." Some other sources to add onto this are as follows: United States Department of Justice article about the arrest: https://web.archive.org/web/20220502090355/https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/two-members-notorious-videogame-piracy-group-team-xecuter-custody Video Games Chronicle article about Nintendo's intentions: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-said-hacker-gary-bowsers-jail-sentence-was-a-unique-opportunity-to-send-a-message/ The Verge article about Bowser's sentence: https://web.archive.org/web/20220211013315/https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/10/22927827/gary-bowser-sentenced-nintendo-switch-hacks-team-xecuter Polygon article about Bowser's sentence: https://web.archive.org/web/20220210205338/https://www.polygon.com/22927851/bowser-nintendo-switch-hacker-sentenced-prison |
| Feb 1, 2024, 4:21 PM * | ProtoSnake | Platform: Nintendo Switch | Sorry, I don't know much about this than you do. I'm just merely submitting any new info I find that would attract more new viewers, hopefully. |
| Feb 1, 2024, 4:10 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Platform: Nintendo Switch | Didn't Bowser actually put malware in his pirated games or something? I'm sure I remember reading there was something bigger at play than just piracy. |
| Feb 1, 2024, 4:29 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Disney Heroes: Battle Mode | Something that is not the case in recent times since Richard Epcar does not also voice Baloo. In fact there's no telling who Baloo's current VA is supposed to be. |
| Jan 27, 2024, 12:35 PM | Baysha | Game: Shrek: Ogres and Dronkeys | I misinterpreted that at first. |
| Jan 24, 2024, 2:11 AM | Tuli0hWut | Game: Sky Kid | Yeah, it actually does :0 |
| Jan 23, 2024, 11:08 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Sky Kid | Does the US manual also show birds? Because I know that often time these sorts of marketing localisation changes end up failing to apply to manuals. (Since I posted a few facts about it lately, Alice's design in the manual and box for Balloon Kid are completely different) |
| Jan 23, 2024, 10:55 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS | Given the stories I've heard about Iwata/Reggie-era NOA, he's probably better off for it. |
| Jan 23, 2024, 9:15 PM | Tuli0hWut | Game: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS | That kid costed his dad a high paying dream job at Nintendo. |
| Jan 23, 2024, 2:03 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Balloon Kid | In the US manual, yes, but the Japanese manual calls Bubbles "it". https://www.thegameisafootarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Clu-Clu-Land-Game-Manual.pdf https://www.ebay.com/itm/295631999624 |
| Jan 23, 2024, 12:55 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Balloon Kid | Bubbles from Clu Clu Land is a she? |
| Jan 23, 2024, 11:13 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox | Miyamoto has a fox like face? Looks pretty human to me. |
| Jan 23, 2024, 7:04 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Pokémon Ruby Version | A similar situation to the start of the game where the Poochyena on Route 101 is replaced with a Zigzagoon. |
| Jan 22, 2024, 6:15 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox Zero | And this very scrapping of an Arwing Amiibo did not seem like a good move, considering the presence of an Arwing Amiibo Costume in Super Mario Maker that took basis from Star Fox Zero. |
| Jan 22, 2024, 6:13 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox Zero | I don't think delaying the game was able to get rid of what people dislike about Star Fox Zero, considering what people had been saying about it after it's eventual release. |
| Jan 22, 2024, 6:10 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Diddy Kong Racing | So the characters in Diddy Kong Racing that weren't promoting upcoming Rare games other then Diddy and Krunch are owned by Microsoft, despite being able to get featured in the remake. Clearly this is supposed to be part of the Donkey Kong series, thus making the game Nintendo property. |
| Jan 21, 2024, 7:47 AM | Venomspino | Game: Mortal Kombat X | Funny enough, Tanya is possibly Mortal Kombat first bisexual rep |
| Jan 20, 2024, 6:11 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Tekken | It is, I updated the submission with additional sources addressing this. |
| Jan 20, 2024, 3:44 PM | ProtoSnake | Game: Tekken | I thought Tiger Mask was an inspiration for King's design? |
| Jan 18, 2024, 10:10 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox Adventures | Even though Rare are like this about games they work on such as Star Fox Adventures, there actually have been Rare games over the years with voice actors who aren't Rare members such as Kameo and Viva Pinata, even as far as those games being dubbed in other languages. |
| Jan 18, 2024, 6:07 AM | Venomspino | Game: League of Legends | Here's the theme, it's really good https://youtu.be/TKGeHMT6Ko4?si=aWzYUjFXyHRQ71wm |
| Jan 16, 2024, 1:29 PM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox Adventures | All because Star Fox Adventures is the one game in the series where the characters speak English in all parts of the world for reasons explained in another submission. |
