Me too.

The mention of Hitachi gives me reason to believe that the Ultra is slightly less powerful than the OTL Sega Dreamcast. Would I be off if I estimated the CPU speed at between 133-166 mhz?

Also, methinks that the TV Tropes pages needs updating. ;)

Hitachi did Dreamcast's CPU, not GPU. Dreamcast's GPU was from PowerVR2, and right now the GPU industry has yet to fully materialize.

I would, but I'm finishing up finals...
 
Howard Lincoln should talk to George R.R. Martin, the writer of A Song of Ice and Fire, about incest...:D

Will not lie, was tempted to put a qoute of the man, but i consired that would be streching stuff:D (did GRRM ever play a videogame?) yeah someone did recomended Game of Thrones/ASOIF because that in a FE forum during a FE4 conversation,xd.

I think like Martin, Kaga find about incest and how was that common in royal families when reading about Middle ages, specially about certain infamos family in OTL, of course in Japan seems thanks to FE fame, Yokoi protection and other stuff, the game is still as special as this otl, following a special hyperrealism(under fire emblem standard) that later Radiant dawn did try to replicated and a lesser degree(in political drama). Alvis drama besided incest, was Deidre/Diadora was invaluable what she was(Prince Kurth Daugther).

Still, i'll want a shirt of that for my birthday too(may 16th,xd)
 
Eheh, I remember the original version of the episode had us talking about the Japanese version of the game with all the incest in it. But Nintendo caught wind of it and sent a memo to MTV, they didn't want us to mention it at all. We had this whole bit where we were gonna make fun of the game. But Nintendo deep-sixed that and what you got instead was something pretty boring. We did get a really nice interview with Nintendo's localization team for the game that took us into the Treehouse, but I still wish we could've made some of those incest jokes. C'est la vie.”
-Ted Crosley, in a Kotaku.com interview on February 23, 2013

This was a nice touch of characterization, I thought. The dialogue from Ted and Alex over Fire Emblem was much less banter-y and colorful than for the other games, and them having to reshoot the scene explains why.
 
Ah so an early Gameboy Color, so will Pokemon still come to the original Gameboy or the Color?

Pokemon is still compatible with the original Gameboy but was designed with Gameboy Color enhancements in mind, so it'll have a really nice custom color pallate if you play it on the Gameboy Color.

Much like how Gold and Silver Otl were designed, so if there second gen, would be more probably Color only, but that is later in the future of the TL.
 
Something I noticed in a past update that has'nt been discussed that has great implications. Brandon Lee is alive and well. Is the Crow as successful without the death? No doubt that any sequels ITTL will be better if he reprises the role. Are we going to hear anything else on his carrer?

And I never got a reply if it was ok for me to submit some material for the eventual Ultra launch update.

Again I want to say how much I enjoy this TL. Keep up the great work.

Brandon Lee will be showing up again down the road. Without his death, The Crow didn't do well enough to get any sequels, but he's working in other projects, mostly as a supporting actor. Nothing big yet.

Feel free to show us anything you have for the Ultra launch.

That sucks the Crow really was a great film. But a surviving Brandon is great regardless. Can't wait to see where his career goes.

Excellent I'll PM you a draft soon. I'm going to assume Super Mario Dimensions is the big launch title. If you want I can leave it open for you to add the details in. Thanks.

Heh, well I can't spoil the launch but....it is....bigger than Nintendo 64's launch OTL. Actually without any spoilers if you're covering the launch you'll probably get it wrong >_< Maybe I'll send you the list of launch titles and swear you to secrecy :p
 
I just had a thought.

What about Gargoyles? Did the drive for better storytelling mean, for instance, that The Goliath Chronicles got better writing? They wouldn't be allowed to make Lexington openly gay, but did he at least get the same sort of hints and subtext as Etienne and Kris, or Xena and Gabrielle?

You can trust me:eek: I solemnly swear on a copy of Nintendo Power:p

I wish this was on Netflix now....

I think perhaps a couple more hints were slipped in, yes.

What makes me believe that we might see a parallel to the North American PS2 release? :p Though I believe stores will have trouble keeping them in stock in any case.

On another note, I am trying to think of how Marvel is doing at this point ITTL after writing a couple DC updates. In terms of stories, outside of the Clone Saga, I do not imagine butterflies having THAT much of an impact on the non Spider-Man titles. I imagine that Onslaught and Heroes Reborn/Return will happen as they did OTL.

PS2 was selling out even with Tekken Tag Tournament and SSX as the big launch titles. Ultra Nintendo's launch titles....well...

Just a question: can I contribute a small section to the TL? It would be about a guy on YouTube called Gaming Historian, and he makes really interesting videos about, well, gaming history.
