Short version: absolutely possible.

Ban cars and knives.

They can be bought if they’re being sold... if they’re not being sold, then the publisher retains exclusivity. They don’t HAVE to sell publishing rights.

What about it? It was published exclusively by Microsoft, so unless it’s a non-publicly-noted timed exclusive of some sort, it’s owned by Insomniac, but the publishing rights are with MS. If for some reason Insomniac made a point to let the publishing rights expire after say 10 years or whatever, then if they want to…

Since when was Nintendo World Championships really about anything other than shilling Nintendo products? Hell, The Wizard was just the movie version of NWC to shill Mario 3.

I understand it very well. You clearly don’t.

Developers may own the IP for the series, and still own rights tot he game as well, but publishing rights when they’re bought on the FOREVER scale, those don’t go away just because a developer gets bought out. Microsoft via Rare currently owns the rights to make more NEW Banjo Kazooie games all they want...BUT they…

Actually, that’s exactly what it means. Maybe not full rights, but whatever portion they owned prior to the Rare buyout, Nintendo still retains to those titles.

That’s right, they published them on someone else’s console. MS will retain the rights to those games, regardless. Understand? If Nintendo re-bought Rare and wanted to put Viva Pinata on Wii U, they’d have to get licensing rights from MS to release them on the console. Nintendo published Rare games, and they retain…

Not sure what other proof you need than the fact that Nintendo published basically every single Rare game made prior to the MS buy-out. They don’t lose those publishing rights just because the developer was bought out.

OK, so everything is brighter, more sunny, slightly more detailed...but in the process they’re losing the haze and grit that made the original have that sense of dread and desperation.

You realize that Nintendo had to co-license about half of those games to Microsoft as well, right? Nintendo still owns partial rights to a ton of the games in this collection.

Nobody will actually follow through with this...we all know that, right? Whether it be the chest never appearing there, or the people involved all converging or whatever. In 100 years, nobody will remember this and the odds of all the required pieces still being around are near impossible. I mean, people can’t even…

So they rail on you with a long ass intro video to tell you how to play the game, and then immediately follow it up with a tutorial... a little redundant.

I dunno. I think some of the level effects and ideas are cool for the Rainbow Road, but the level design is shit. It’s definitely not Nintendo-par level design.

FYI, these are simply re-purposed Gundam pods from Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield. (機動戦士ガンダム 戦場の絆)

They’ll want the serial. If he registered the console on Club Nintendo, he would be golden. When my Wii was the victim of a fire, they checked the serial on CN and not only did they feel bad hearing about the fire, they sent me a new Wii with all the stuff already downloaded to it.

I don’t buy that theory at all. I had an electrical fire myself a few years back and the Wii was about the only thing that didn’t melt. The flashpoint on the plastic is extremely high. I walked in on the fire and put it out myself and while the Wii was pretty fucked from the melted cabling, the console was completely…

I think the point I’m trying to make is that it’s not a consciously feminist movie. Any hint of feminism just came out of the filming process. It comes straight from Miller himself that they essentially just organically made the people who they were for the core story.

Also, a feminist movie wouldn’t have the female character of primary focus be originally one of the highest ranking “bad guys” who had some kind of change of heart after being part of the overarching patriarchy for long enough to gain the title of imperator. Furiosa was a major part of the problem for far longer than…
