I don't have an issue with "fanboi." I have any issue with "underwear-wearing fanboi." (Which... good, I'm glad they're wearing underwear?)
That is a weird one. I'd point to Seussland's problem of a lack of family rides. Cat spins too much. (and has a height requirement?) The trolley/train loads too slow and is a downer/annoying. Fish you get wet and the carousel is well a carousel. Some things could be changed for the better but for now that is what is there. The execution of the Seussland has no impact on the final iteration of Nintendo world. That was a completely different company than the Universal today.
My 11 yo boy is ****ed we are "wasting" two days at Uni. Although my 16 yo girl is excited we are going to Uni, it's only for the potter stuff. If given the choice, one over the other, Disney would win hands down.
1. They need to add some more scenery to compensate.Nah. I think UNI's lawyers took all the spin out of Cat a long time ago. I loved that ride when it opened, but it is so different now.
Most people who frequent video game forums are usually PC gamers, and there is not a more pretentious group of people in that realm.Trying to catch up with all the news this thread always offers can be a little daunting if you miss a couple days.
But this Nintendo stuff is interesting. Personally I think its a better match for the Japanese market than America since its more ingrained in their culture, but anything for kids at Universal would be welcome. Judging from several video game forums, this really isn't as big of news there as it is here though, so if its supposed to be for that demographic that could be a little concerning. But then again those forums where the topic is present are saying Nintendo will be replacing Marvel.
But from a business standpoint, this has to be embarrassing for Nintendo. No matter what they do lately, they seem to be two steps behind. Hopefully they are getting a good deal.
you lost me instantly.If i made a My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult reference here, would anyone get it?
meaning people above the 60's year line?Spirited Request:
Can we move all the gaming talk to the gaming forum? (just assuming we have one)
Talk all you want about Nintendo replacing KidZone, but MANY of us aren't all that interested in gaming and it really can be held elsewhere.
Thanks.
I wasn't asking because I couldn't think of anything...I was asking because I wanted people's opinions on whether every part has to be interactive or not...to paraphrase.
you lost me instantly.
(And for the record - even the most avid mobile gamer will tell you that gaming on the phone isn't as fun or intuitive as gaming on a dedicated device.)
Nope. Point taken, however when we tell him about what they have, watch YouTube vids, etc, he does not get excited. But you are correct, he doesn't have a basis to judge from, like me, who is ****ed we are wasting two days there.![]()
I remember South Park had an amazing explanation of the freemium model.
When it comes to Donkey Kong Country's Mine Carts there is one common element: jumping.
So happy to hear Metroid is rumored to be part of the plans. I still remember the first time I played Metroid Prime. Bought it for $2 from a friend not knowing at all what I was in for. It quickly became my favorite game of all time.A post from HateToFly on Orlando United forums-
"Characters and properties to keep an eye on IMO...
Mario and Luigi
Princess Toadstool
Bowser
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Metroid
Link and Princess Zelda
Pokemon"

So if true, that means that we could get presence from the Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Zelda and Pokemon series'. Though which IP's get major rides and attractions, and which ones get less substantial presence (like merchandise and character greets) is another question. Still cool info though.
Take him to Ollivander's wand shop for the wand show. Make sure he is right up front. He may get selected to participate in the show. If selected, he will love it and you'll be out $50 for a wand. If you do not buy the wand, you will be forced to wear the "cone of shame" for 6 monthsMy 11 yo boy is ****ed we are "wasting" two days at Uni.

My 11 year-old loved DA and all it had to offer. Truthfully, he loved all of Universal by the time all was said and done. And each of the kids with us loved Margaritaville....My 11 yo boy is ****ed we are "wasting" two days at Uni. Although my 16 yo girl is excited we are going to Uni, it's only for the potter stuff.

Truthfully, I enjoyed my 3 days at Uni in 2012 far more than WDW if you wash away the nostalgia aspects of WDW for me.My 11 year-old loved DA and all it had to offer. Truthfully, he loved all of Universal by the time all was said and done. And each of the kids with us loved Margaritaville....
