Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 25th February 2005
Quote:South Korean company Webzen has been put on notice by Nintendo - no touchy our penis. Nintendo has contacted Webzen about its upcoming online game, Wiki, expressing concerns that the character design might be similar to one of Nintendo's own titles, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. You may have heard of it, considering it was one of the top selling games of 2003.
While the similarities are apparent, word has it that Wiki's character is customizable, including hair, clothing, and aereola size. Although Nintendo has not filed suit yet, it has not ruled out the possibility should the two companies be unable to reach an understanding.

For your perusal:
A comparison shot!!

Guess which one is which!!

Also, he's got the nukes.

Y...yeah....
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Dark Jaguar - 25th February 2005
Because it's from Korea? Okay South but...
....
Sorry...
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 25th February 2005
Ah...
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - A Black Falcon - 25th February 2005
South Korea doesn't have nukes...
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Dark Jaguar - 25th February 2005
And if you read my post you'd see I pointed that out.

Aereola size? I'm scared of the game already. If you don't know what it means, look at the definition of the word and you'll be scared too.

Hahaha, I looked that up too, Eden. :D You left this part of the definition out, though:
Quote:...or the part of the iris surrounding the pupil of the eye
I imagine that, if that last customizable item wasn't Nintendorks' little joke, the actual areola you customize will be the irises.
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 25th February 2005
It's a pretty blatant rip-off, if you ask me, not that I wouldn't like to place this game...
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - EdenMaster - 25th February 2005
Still SJ, any time I've ever heard that term, they are NOT talking about the eye :D Besides, they already have a word for the iris. It's called the iris.
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 26th February 2005
But look at his eyes! They're HUGE!
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Sacred Jellybean - 26th February 2005
He's been licking the toad!
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 26th February 2005
What about nipples?
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 26th February 2005
I don't know, I haven't seen them.
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 26th February 2005
Ever?
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 26th February 2005
Okay, why exactly would I be looking at a young childs bosoms? Answer me that and I'll show you a man who looks like a woman but is really a horse who lives on a ranch with lazyfatbum and they have a child named O'Henry who is the tallest child ever to jump off the Podunk County Overpass near the rings of Pluto WHICH DO NOT EXIST!

Does that mean that the child has 2 bosoms...kids these days. I didn't even know "children" had bosoms, much less TWO bosoms. *
lucky kid*
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 26th February 2005
Well, he has them in the sense that...wait a minute. Why the heck are we even talking about something like this?!
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - deanna - 26th February 2005
Because you have never seen nipples
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - Great Rumbler - 27th February 2005
Well not Wiki's! Why would I be looking at his? That's just sick! That's like something that Michael Jackson would do and then be put on trial for because he's WEIRD! I'm weird, but not WEIRD in that way that some people are WEIRD. Like Michael Jackson...or this people:

You mean for the anti-French magazine? Seriously though, French jokes stopped being funny sometime in 2003... you know, around the time the French were proven right about Iraq not having WMD.

Actually, I believe he's referring to the Link look alike. You know, THE REASON FOR THE THREAD :D

Stop making fun of the French? You may as well take away apple pie and baseball!!
The great bastion of insanity, Fark.com, agrees with me anyway.

That sure is a good song thar. Who wants to hear of it 50 more times?
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 28th February 2005
The French make really good games and movies though.
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - A Black Falcon - 28th February 2005
And were right, as Geno said.
As for Fark, it's right-wing about politics, I think...
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 28th February 2005
Yeah but we totally liberated Iraq! That was totally the plan from the beginning!
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - A Black Falcon - 28th February 2005
If you believe that, you've been watching Fox News. :)
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 28th February 2005

Right-wing? Are you friggen' kidding me? Every other post at Fark is bashing President Bush or fundamentalist or Republicans or conservatives! Right-wing? Not even close.
Quote:The French make really good games and movies though.
True that, but it doesn't mean that I can't have a good laugh at their expense.

I mean their news headlines, not the people who post there... I don't read the comments. And not always, but enough that it's definitely noticable.
Quote:True that, but it doesn't mean that I can't have a good laugh at their expense.
It does if they're pretty much innocent of what you accuse them of... sure, France has done bad things before -- every country has -- but "they always surrender"? Stupid and not true.
Nintendo livid over Link look-a-like which may lead to lawsuit...in London!!!1 - OB1 - 28th February 2005

What does that have to do with anything? They steal news items from other people!

Oh come on! Over 75% of jokes ever made are over-exaggerations of the truth for comedic purposes!

True. But the headlines are annoying sometimes. Oh well... that stupid thing they put in every single sports-related headline is worse, for sure.

But most of the complaints against France have not been made purely in jest...
