Good morning, everyone!

It is currently 9:52 10:15 10:37 PM. I've got work in the morning.

Regardless, something drew me here. Something compelled me to log in, post a status update and make this very topic. Probably nostalgia.

Definitely nostalgia.

The Wii U is almost 7 years old. That's the age of the average first-grader in the US. I feel like it didn't necessarily flop, though it didn't fare too well compared to the Xbox One and the PS4.

I still have my Wii U. It's kinda collecting dust nowadays. I still have the Animal Crossing Plaza, though the service has long since been discontinued.

I'm still kinda bummed that a proper Animal Crossing title wasn't released on the Wii U.

At some point I got my hands on a Switch, but nowadays I don't have enough free time to sit down and enjoy the titles.

At the time of writing, Nintendo confirmed a mainline Animal Crossing title coming out on the Switch this year. I'm looking forward to that.

I never considered myself to be a prolific member. I wished people happy birthdays and shared positive opinions on things. I acquainted myself with the kind members here and have forgotten to make contact with people.

Oh man, it's been everyone's birthday.

I finally graduated from college with a BS in Computer Science. It turns out that I find programming to be very dull.

I've been building a lot of computers in the meantime. I find that to be pretty fun, at least.

I might just go back and get an art degree.

My degree did, however, land me a nice job that has nothing to do with programming.

I've been learning video editing on the side as a hobby. I want to use what I learned in order to make a video on the history of WUF. I'm by no means an OG member, and it's going to require me to do a whole lotta reading on topics made before I even joined the forum. But I think it would be a fun undertaking.

The target demographic might be a little niche.

I'd like to make it and have it published on the 7th anniversary of the Wii U's US release.

It's kinda weird seeing that I'm the only soul on this website right now, at this time. A few guests, though I suspect all of them to be web crawlers.

It's wild to think of all the fun conversations that were had on this website. A whole lotta years have gone by since this website was considered totally dead, and I can't even imagine where everyone has gone and what fun exploits they've achieved in life since then.

I've kinda disappeared of the face of the Earth. I don't use any social media, nor have I been active in any other communities. It sometimes feels like I'm getting a little too old or too jaded to be participating in gaming communities. I've been wanting to do Twitch streams, but my anxiety has stopped me short of hitting the "start streaming" button in OBS.

I've experienced quite a few rough patches in my life. Despite that, my signature holds true.

I'm kinda drunk. I love you guys. My Discord is Tom Pls#2986.

I have kept an "eye" on things, which has basically just been an occasional glance one a week or so when I have been logged out. But activity has been so minimal to the point where there isn't really a point of my "required presence". I still feel a little guilty about how I mismanaged things now & then, but the past is the past. I am forever connected to internet forums due to my early years of being infected by a mid 2000's yoshi art forum, so as long as this site breathes, I will find myself back here regardless.

I don't know if anybody here will actually be able to find my "other" personas elsewhere on the web, I "retired" the Pyro/Mourn pseudonym a while back (outside of maybe my steam username).

I can PM you my discord. I don't use it often, but I kind of need to now that IRC is dead.

Thought I stop by here... Haven't visited in ages.

But Botw?

Great physics, great story, great gameplay, and most of all, GREAT FAIRY'S!

Honestly my favorite part of the game. Those Fairy's have some crazy personality this time around.

Those of you who know, i started up http://www.NintendoChitChat.com last August and with that I've created a twitter, facebook and youtube account to help grow interest. Aside from social posts I've ran ads and the site also has a chat room.

Aside from this project, I launched http://nintendoreport.com/ . I was not planning on it but I came across some nice web tools. It's nothing extraordinary and the site has only been up 1 day. The basic idea is this is a site you can come to for nintendo based news, social stuff all in one place. Rather then having to check out a twitter feed, or facebook page, youtube channel.. the tools used bring all of those into one place. The content refreshes every 20 minutes as long as there is new content.

The main home page is all nintendo official feeds: facebook, twitter, tumblr, youtube, and nintendo's own news feed directly from their website.

Nintendo Franchise News is Super Mario, Super Smash, Splatoon, Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda offical facebook accounts all in one listing.

Other Nintendo News is from sources like gamexplain, nintendo enthusist, wii u daily etc. 

ChitChat Feed is a forum feed from NintendoChitChat.com .

Things will be tweaked, updated, and possibly changed around. The sources of the information may be updated to if we find better rss feeds or accounts that provide more useful info.

Anyways, thought I would introduce you this little project and maybe it will be useful to you to browse nintendo news and social stuff. Every post/news story is linked to the original site. So if you click on a story that interests you, you can easily read more about it.

Patents sometimes come and go. That’s exactly what happened with an idea Nintendo reserved over two decades ago, which is rather reminiscent of Super Mario Maker.

In 1994, Nintendo registered a U.S. patent for a “Video game/videographics program editing apparatus with program halt and data transfer features”. This would let users pause the gameplay and edit parts through a streamlined UI. Players would not need any knowledge of programming – just like Super Mario Maker.

In the patent description, there are various tidbits about the standalone hardware’s potential functions. These include changing the amount of items and behavior of enemies, rearranging level designs, resuming gameplay after editing, and saving the revised game. One portion of the patent mentions exchanging user-generated content via a telephone line as well. If given the right tools, players could even come up with their own gaming experience with the hardware.

It’s definitely an interesting concept, but one that never made it to market. You can see the original patent in full here.

I got to play this game at GX3 and think it's going to be at GDC too... SUPER FREAKING FUN!  If you are a fan of RTS or just a WiiU fan this is the game to watch for 2016

And don't forget to have a happy New Year!

Feld0 has fixed the database issues with replies, threads etc. Buggy threads from before now function properly. View counts for topics work.

Also, search has been fixed and the forum icons have returned.

With all of the crossover movies coming out, we figured that Super Smash Brothers deserved a shout-out! So we created a fan trailer of Super Smash Brothers! 

What do you think?

Are you drunk? Your argument is staple franchises? So every console ever made is exactly the same as it's predecessor because a select few staple franchise? Seriously,stop talking.
