Video Games - a general discussion thread

Now, take a look at this, it's the new GAME BOY MICRO. There are two versions, one is purple, and the other is the Famicon "retro" version, celebrating 20 years of Super Mario Bros (wow twenty years already) for the Famicon/NES. It looks very good, but I'm not sure how confortable it would be to play with one of these things.

Translating the text on this forum: it states that it fits perfectly in the hand, even though it's so small you can keep it in your pocket. It's easy to hold the a, b, L and R buttons (notice how it's a lower "a" and "b", like on the revolution controller). You can remove the front and change it if you want. It also states that the sound could be a little bit louder, but the screen resolution is even better than the GBA and DS ones. It only works with GBA game packs, so you can forget about the old classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color ones...

Jar Jar is dead canonically!

In the time, even before EP 1 was released, my thoughts went to a line from EP4.

"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

I speculated that Lucas would prove that.
How?
Palpatine and (now) Vader destroy Naboo with the Force, in the worst way possible. In addition to removing the planet, they remove the knowledge of the planet as well. They wipe the memory of Naboo from the minds of all people except them.
Vader doesn't know Padme is on Naboo when it happens though.

Now, that way, you could have put Jar Jar on the planet as well, and then he's better than dead...
To quote the flavor text of the Magic card Door To Nothingness: “All memory of your existence will be wiped from reality. You will die, and no one will mourn.”


Are you serious about it? Vader and Palpatine exploding Naboo with the force, and erasing any memories of it? Why?! Why would they do that?! Don't you agree that if such thing happened in the prequels, the fans would LITERALLY eat GL's heart??

People just gather around at someone's house, wearing incredibly comfortable (even lazy) clothes and talk while sitting in lawn chairs, watching TV, or playing some game in the backyard.


No, no, they are quite informal, the way you described, or even more informal than you described. It's just that if you had burgers in a bqq here, it would look like having carrots for a bbq, get it? Would be ridiculous.

Revolution Controller SERIOUSLY REVEALED! NO JOKE!
Time
After thinking about it for a while and seeing some demonstration videos, as the one in the url I posted (as to opposed of doing some actual work ), here's what I feel: if this has been part of a controller, or a different, secundary controller, that would be absolutely brilliant. I mean, a controller that allows you to spin it, throw it, move it around, it's quite ingenious, and should be VERY fun for SOME games, lemme repeat that, SOME games. Now, being the OFFICIAL controller isn't very good, because that limits the kind of game for the revolution - what, will every game be wither a WarioWare or Mario Party game? Reminds me of the New Coke fiasco, with Coca Cola replacing Coke instead of creating a secondary, different flavor...

Now, I DO belive Nintendo WILL release a different, "normal" controller for it... Or else we'll see the hugest flop in the videogame industry...

For some reason I do belive there's more into it that what is shown. This picture here shows a different controller at the bottom of the screen. I belive this is just one of the possible options for playing with it. By the way, for those who didn't read the article, this controller has some sort of a gyroscope, so you can use it as a virtual sword or fishing rod...

I think this is more of a cultural thing. Like, over here, it would be almost offensive to do a bbq with burgers, and we don't eat the meat on buns, but on a plate (or cutted into little pieces, eating it with a toothpick or a fork), usually with some salad or white rice, and of course beer. Burgers are sold merely at places like mcdonalds or burger king, kinda rare to find it anywhere else. There are frozen burgers you could fry up at home, but it's usually served at a lunch or dinner, never at a bbq itself.

I don't think Lucas ever mentioned JarJar's death, and never will. He simply faded away that character, as he did with Naboo. And how could Naboo be exploded by the prototype death star, if no one knew about it until ANH? Hmn... That brings a whole new question: how much did they know about the Death Star anyway? Leia had the plans hidden into the R2 unity, but they she know about the destructive power of it? Perhaps Bail Organa knew all along, and sent her to get those plans?
