So today Activision Blizzard announced they were going into the TV/Film business with the development of adaptations of their IPs.

It got me wondering, will we see more on Nintendo outside games in the November update? Like the Zelda cartoon that's on the Disney Channel.
I hope so! OTL, as people who have read lots of my threads can tell, Nintendo Movies are a personal dream of mine. I wish they had their own studio. If Marvell can do it, so can they.
 
I wonder how he feels about having an Ultra in his home? I bet he plays it.:D

I remember that now. I can live with that. I loved the Adventures of Pete and Pete. Have you watched the parody reunion on youtube, I think it is Funny or Die? It is hilarious though.

Oh, he ABSOLUTELY plays it. He's requested a couple of Saturn ports based on some of the Ultra games he's played.

And I haven't caught that reunion but I'll have to check it out!

Maybe. The Zelda cartoon is entirely Nevermore's idea, so I don't want to do too much with it without his say-so.

otl NOTE again; here is otl cancelled snes-cd prototype was posted a few pages ago here working Flawesly with Cartidge Based game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1136078

It actually brings something to mind: what about earlier video game preservation ITTL? Seattle or San Francisco would make a pretty good place for a video game museum...

Hmmm....there might be something like that cropping up in the next few years potentially.

And yeah, TTL's SNES-CD specs are actually based on the information released in 1993. I'm not sure if it would have ended up with a 21.5 Mhz chip coming out in 1992, but I took a liberty there. Oh, BTW, what did you think of our SNES-CD sales chart?
 
Eh, I don't like joining a forum just to advertise my own stuff. If someone else wants to advertise for me though that's perfectly fine :)
I totally would but I'm on my 360 and I can't verify my email because gmail sucks :mad: eh.. just have to wait til I can get on a computer.

Ok I'm on a computer don't worry.

LMAO. Nvm I can't register because I have a free email account. I'm not paying for an email account but I'll go on the other link for engadget. I've never heard of not being able to use a free email address.

Hehehe i knew he would make an impact(was suprised when they did were able to turn it on and how worked flawesly with Cartdige Based games, like was the concept demo ready to go).

More that a Liberty, was a well timed butterfly, remember we exchange propertary CD(based on sony minidisc) for that extrahorse power, just both side take the gamble and worked flawesly.
 
Again thanks for the patronage, wonder if we will have a surge of new face in the thread, that will be amazing for both of us with all the hardwork in this baby, who knew maybe inspired more people tacking in the topic

That is my intention, I'm hoping IGN will make TTL into a web-series ;). Or at least maybe it will attract someone with the skill to make those graphics Ry has been talking about:D. But seriously you guys deserve some wider recognition in gaming news media, especially with the renewed interest because of the prototype find. Maybe I'll email IGN one of these days with an epic rant on the beauty of this TL.
 
Around the time Arbiter of Sin is coming out, Congressional Republicans will be trying and failing to impeach Clinton. They'll be too discouraged from that to pick up their anti-games crusade.
Cool, cool.

It just got delayed until December 1998 actually.
Oh, so it just looks like early '99, but it actually comes out in Dec. '98? Best. Christmas gift. EVAR!
A gift? To Kalinske, that would be a declaration of war. :D
I concur with this.

So are you not counting the press announcements, convention panels, and casting info, for the Warcraft movie over the past several months as announcing their entry into the film business? Or do you just mean that they've announced that they have an actual Marvel-esque 'Film Division' just now?

The latter. I mean, the Warcraft movie was just Blizzard doing their own thing. This is a more company wide initiative with all their IP. Skylanders, Call of Duty, etc...

In this timeline we've already seen original games for this timeline expand out into other mediums. Gotta wonder how many more will go big and how many more will flop...
 
Any thoughts on the UNES logo? Would it be the OTL N64 cube?

If Someone can make us a logo, that would be awesome, umm the last time we discuss, we wanted like an hybrid of n64-ps1, something like a U over a N and S(nintendo and sony respectly) depend what ry wanted it, we want something in 3d to show the push for 3d(like otl N64 Cubic logo)

One of these with Nintendo flair and colours + a "N"? (That's my suggestion, sorry I suck at photoshop otherwise I'd do it for you :) )

One thing that I'm not sure that you've taken into account is that was a worldwide shortage of RAM chips in 1993/1994 which drove up prices. IOTL this meant that the N64 had to have half the RAM it was meant to have.

That did have his repercusion with Saturn, that $400 did mean the price of tech for the time.

Ironically that benefit heavily Ultra, as 1996 ram price falled down and helped a lot it(otl n64 issue and a mistake SGI cost nintendo pacience)
 
I have to ask about a certain Camelot property that came out in OTL a few years from where this timeline is now: Golden Sun. It and it's sequel were lauded as some of the best games on the GBA, I'd hate to see them outright get butterflied away. They were originally planned to be one game on the N64, but since the GameCube was coming they went with two on the GBA, maybe it's just one Ultra game TTL?

Well, on the front of the Ultra Nintendo itself, it's the OTL Ultra 64 logo (before it was changed to the Nintendo 64) with the 64 replaced by "Nintendo" in the OTL Playstation font with multiple colors (two letters red, two letters blue, two letters green, and two letters yellow). However, as for the picture logo...Electric Monk's idea of something akin to the Playstation logo but with an N works quite well, again incorporating the red/yellow/green/blue color scheme of the Super Famicom. Not sure how it'd look exactly though.

Camelot did an RPG for the Ultra launch in 1997 called "Ultra Adventurers". It was fairly generic, think Quest 64 meets Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes Of Light and got middling reviews. They'll probably try again with something better in either '99 or '00. Golden Sun is probably butterflied, though a few small elements of the OTL game may make it into this new one.
