I noticed u have a Earthbound feature. Why wasn't the
game Earthbound Zero distributed everywhere? How come
in the new gameboy advance release of Mother 1+2 it
has censored stuff? Who distributes these games? How
do u get all ur news? Are they real? Wt's up with
this? Elusions: Final Fantasy 64 Was there really
going to be a nintendo 64 game that had a final
fantasy game in it? Why are there so many people
for ur staff? How come some games are almost finished
or finished then all of a sudden it's cancelled never
to be seen or heard of again? Are these translated
versions of japanese to english games just as good as
the original or better? How come some things have to
be changed for us westerners? Can't it be the same?
How do people translate games into english?

Can people ever finish this
game?http://www.lostlevels.org/200408/
Why are there so many clones of Ninja Gaiden?
Maru, the loveable ninja character that has appeared
in other Jaleco games, most notably the Ninja Jajamaru
series. Who is this? Wt are these games abt? |

myeh, I'm bored, plus I feel obligated due to the swift responses in the SMWW thread.
It started well, but then I went off the deep end. My shame, for posting such nonsense, is immense. Sort of.
***********
* Earthbound Zero was distributed outside of Japan due to marketing issue, and a predicted lack of profit.
* The new release has some things censored to reflect the change of times we live in. It's the same reason why men no longer perm their hair, and woman no longer have their brassiers made out of leather and cast iron like they did in the 1420s.
* Nintendo distributes these games to retail outlets. It's why they are known as a publisher.
* We get our news via a network of people in secret online communities. It takes years to find these people and befriend them. Staff Members on this site have taken up a lifestyle more akin to monks, abstaining from meat and carnal pleasures, in order to dedicate themselves to finding this info. It takes years of training grasshopper.
* Yes, everything is real.
* What's up with this? What's up with that little dude?! If it stays up for more than 4 hours, consult a doctor.
* There was never going to be an N64 version of any Final Fantasy game. As we stated, it was just a 3D technical demo.
* The amount of staff we have is a legal requirement of Bolivia, it also aids with tax evasion. Would you believe, there are in fact only three staff members, but we all double up with our roles. Not rolls mind you, that would be crazy. If anyone asks, you never got this email, ok?
* Games are nearly finished, then cancelled, due to all kinds of complex things. Like money, and politics, and the price of beer in Finland. Well, I lie actually. It has nothing to do with politics, it's ALL about the money baby!
* Translated games are just like the originals, except they've been translated. If you like those kinds of games, then those are the kinds of games you will like.
* Things need to be changed in the West due to cultural differences. For example, in countries like Australia, when you flush the toilet, the water travels around in the opposite direction due to the Earth's magnetic polarity. So Australian games need to be changed to reflect this. It's called culture. For example, in America you call it toilet water, but in France, it's called Eau De Toilete and woman rub it on their faces.
* No, it cannot be the same, since it would result in global chaos.
* people translate games into English mostly whilst drunk. There's also the problem of several years of studying a foreign language. Afterwards, it's as simple as loading up notepad and typing.
* There are clones of Ninja Gaiden, since ninja's are awesome. And by awesome, I mean totally sweet. For further proof, check out http://www.realultimatepower.net/
* Maru, the loveable ninja character that has appeared
in other Jaleco games, most notably the Ninja Jajamaru
series is, well, Maru the loveable ninja. You answered your own question there son.
* These games are about the love one ninja has for a woman. Except, replace ninja with monkey, and woman with the open seas. Its ironic, in a post modern kind of way. Go out and watch a David Lynch film called Naked Lunch, it should explain everything.

Wasn't that David Cronenberg?
Either way, I didn't fucking get it.
And I damn sure didn't get the book. |

I wish Conker's Bad Fur Day had a minigame where you could play Final Fantasy IX |

Yes, yes it was. I got confused. They're both David, and they both make strange films. |

I noticed u have a Earthbound feature. Why wasn't the
game Earthbound Zero distributed everywhere? How come in the new gameboy advance release of Mother 1+2 it
has censored stuff?
Because you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Who distributes these games?
5 men specially selected by the United States government for the purpose of distributing said games. You can recognize them by their oddly formed hats.
How
do u get all ur news?
Every night I spit at the moon 3 times and drink a pint of orphan blood.
Are they real?
Nope, they're airbrushed.
Wt's up with
this? Elusions: Final Fantasy 64 Was there really
going to be a nintendo 64 game that had a final
fantasy game in it?
Yes, Nintendo had a contest except you weren't allowed to enter. And Nintendo gave everybody that entered a copy of this game, just to make you cry.
Why are there so many people
for ur staff?
We have to assign at least one person to every stupid question you ask.
How come some games are almost finished
or finished then all of a sudden it's cancelled never
to be seen or heard of again?
Because you are refusing to accept the Lord into your heart. Repent now, or burn in the Lake of Fire for all eternity.
Are these translated
versions of japanese to english games just as good as
the original or better?
They're better because they aren't in that crazy moon language that nobody on the PLANET CAN UNDERSTAND I MEAN GEEZ
How come some things have to
be changed for us westerners?
Because there are some cultural references that cowboys wouldn't understand.
Can't it be the same?
Things can never be the same after what you did to me.
How do people translate games into english?
Well, with your imagination, you can do anything!
http://www.lostlevels.org/200412/
Can people ever finish this
game?
Yeah, if you're not a pussy.
http://www.lostlevels.org/200408/
Why are there so many clones of Ninja Gaiden?
Because every game developer in the world is in a secret club that secretly hates you and they come up with designs for games you won't like just to piss you off.
Maru, the loveable ninja character that has appeared
in other Jaleco games, most notably the Ninja Jajamaru
series. Who is this? Wt are these games abt?
i cnt undrstnd stpd tlk |

Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they distribute these games. If you want some roms, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can leech from... OK THIS ISN'T FUNNY |
