this is definitely a retroactive meaning applied to the logo after the fact.Mudkips said:Pointed this out in the recent thread about Gabe Newell saying "Herp derp we failed to do episodic content.", and enough people were surprised that I figured I'd post it here, too.
I bet you knew lower case lambda (λis the symbol used in calculating the half-life of radioactive materials (ln 2 / λ
But did you know it's also an arm holding a crowbar?

This is probably my imagination running wild, but look at Midna's helmet
and this helmet from the opening of Conan
And also, music from Conan was used in the original Twilight Princess trailer (before it was given the name)

Really? That's all you've got?Alrus said:
Also, Pichu's wall jump and taunt from Melee now belong to the Pikachu in Brawl.
Also, Pikachu's final smash is Volt Tackle, which is a move that can only be learned by Pikachus who started out as a Pichu.
Also, Pichu along with Young Link are the only two missing characters from Melee that had no hint of any data in Brawl. Because they couldn't use Pichu again, since he evolved!

It's like Dhalsim levels of reaching with the Pichu = Pikachu argument.

Weren't they going to do Plusle and Minun instead? Pichu was a pretty uninteresting clone; at best it was the Smash version of Dan, and that's a bit of a stretch.

Stolen from the China fake ds lite thread.Sew said:
Not exactly mind-blowing, but nevertheless interesting to know: In the late 60s Nintendo released so-called "N&B" blocks, which were essentially copies of Lego.
Related to that: Yamauchi's son appeared in N&B commercials (he isn't the boy in that picture, though), in Super Mario Land 2 was a level made of these N&B bricks and Lego tried to sue Nintendo over plagiarism and comparative adverts but failed at court.
German article I got the pictures from

I knew mario land 2 would be holding more stuff like this, I also forgot that mario land 2 had that lego like stage, been a long time since I played it.

Chara design from Ace Combat 4 narrative still drawing looks the same as human chara design from first gen Pokemon.

I know now what the N&B sign was in SMB2, I can now die peacefully.

I was reading about the changes from mother 2 and earthbound and just noticed something, PAL and asian super nintendo had coloured buttons on the controller, NTSC and american pads had two shades of blue for the buttons.
Is this correct? because having all blue buttons seems rather odd and silly.
*edit*
Concaved buttons?

Just to clarify: did Lego try to sue Nintendo over the Super Mario Land 2 level or over the N&B bricks?

Rest in peace, my friend:
The mystery has been solved.
Lego tried to sue Nintendo over the bricks, not the level. It wasn't exactly surprising, though, since N&B was a pretty shameless rip-off; the bricks even had the same size as Lego bricks. But the main reason Lego went to court was apparently Nintendo's TV spots, in which two children tried to build a rocket, but only one them used the cool rounded N&B bricks while the other one used the lame, blocky bricks by another company... and he wasn't satisfied with them.RockXLight said:
The commercial didn't mention Lego by name, but it was enough for Lego to sue Nintendo over comparative advertising and also plagiarism.

SMB2 was a typo there, I actually meant SML2 for gameboy. I did not know SMB2 had N&B blocks as well.

I did not read your replies and will die thinking SMB2 had N&B blocks.
