Battle Royale: The Last Generation Of An SNES-CD Saga

[HonestAbe1809]

I have a question on Kingdom Quest, Honest Abe...

Was there anything that Nintendo and/or Sony didn't like at any point in the series, and thus, banished it to the cutting room floor?

From now on italic text represents the response of the ITTL creator of the games.

There were a few jokes that had to be removed due to being a bit too mean-spirited for Nintendo's taste. Especially in KQIV. Though most of the stuff that was cut was usually cut for time rather than studio interference. King Robert the Slain, for instance, was intended for the first game but was cut to avoid going overschedule.

Sorry if the answer is too vague, but I can't think of anything that got cut from the game.

I'll join in.

From a Rootalk AMA:

I'm the creator of Crime Stories. Ask me anything.

That's okay if the answer is too vague. In truth, I liked that the only stuff that got cut for good were Robot Chicken-esque gags.

As far as I'm concerned the Kingdom Quest games are a mostly kid-friendly series with some clever gags for older players. There's a lot between that and Family Guy or Robot Chicken. And even the "Mature Audiences" jokes aren't about crude topics. I like to think that TTL gamers would look back to the Kingdom Quest games and see them as the games that treated them as grown-ups but did so tastefully.

You were warned IN THIS THREAD about this sort of wildly off topic BS.

Guess you need a better reminder.

Kicked for a week.

I'm hoping that Steve Jobs tests negative for a reoccurrence of pancreatic cancer. I would hate to see him go so soon after that.

I hate to ask another non-gaming question here, but does this song still become a meme ITTL?

At the bare minimum, it is still around ITTL, by virtue of predating the point of divergence. (1987, IIRC?)

Whether or not it or another of Rick Astley's songs become a meme however is still up in the air.

Yep!

It'd be ironic if the meme song actually became "Together Forever", and the use was in various shipping memes.

 

[rick007]

So no one wants to do the AMAs?

Well, there are two-three factors to consider in the memetic nature of Never Gonna Give You Up.

1. The presence of Always Sunny in Philadelphia as the song's appearance in the early episode "Charlie Has Cancer" helped it gain internet popularity.
2. The concept of "duckrolling" taking off on 4chan.
3. The GTA IV trailer, which is where the first bait-and-switch happened.

Considering that TTL's Jobs has been undergoing actual medical treatment I'd say that chances are good that he'll keep a good bill of health.

Butterflies prevent it, sadly. Rick Astley is still doing concerts and even putting out CDs still (as IOTL), he's just not a meme at any point.

I've been enjoying this little break from the TL, which will probably continue for a few more months, as I've been throwing myself headlong into other projects. I might start doing some of those mini-posts (sales updates, Lyte and Darke info, and sending out the 2016 news update) in early 2021, but for now, I've been trying to avoid doing too much for the TL so I can make sure my batteries are recharged for the final stretch and I don't burn out again like I did this time around.

In the meantime, I've been working on fanfiction, including an Elena Of Avalor anthology featuring Elena/Naomi, and also a Tangled AU fanfic where Cassandra is the one to rescue Rapunzel from the tower instead of Eugene.

I'll try to respond to people's PMs and questions in the next few weeks if I can pull myself away from fanfic writing and Yakuza: Like A Dragon

Considering the writing chops you have in each update of this collective timeline, I hope your fanfictions become just as popular by comparison.
