Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Darunia - 10th April 2003

I'm not sure how true it is, and there's not much information, but according to Nintendorks.com, Miyamoto is making one more game and then heading out the door, never to return.

That's called a Vibe Topic, Darunia. They ask a hypothetical question and readers send in their answers. It's teh funny.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 10th April 2003

Ahahaha

Darunia BELIEVED NINTENDORKS VIBE????

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - OB1 - 10th April 2003

I think that's the first time I've seen you type-laugh that much.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 10th April 2003

I didn't actually laugh... but its absurd... I mean, hasn't he ever heard of Nintendorks... :)

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Dark Jaguar - 10th April 2003

The last game he should make should either be Mario or Zelda. I lean towards Zelda myself. Though knowing him, when the time comes when he actually does want to retire, it'll be like 5 games that'll be his last games. As of late doing just ONE game isn't something he does.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 10th April 2003

Yeah. I like Zelda games more than Mario ones overall...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - OB1 - 10th April 2003

I'm giddy with excitement over Mario 128. I want to know more about this game ASAP! It better be at E3!!

DARUNIA IS A FUCKING POOP HEAD!!!!

I'd want Miyamoto's last game to be "Super Mario Forever". :D

BTW, anyone know where Eek came from? It seems likes I'm seeing him all over the net these days...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Great Rumbler - 11th April 2003

Didn't someone here make the scared Shiggy?

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 11th April 2003

I think so...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Dark Jaguar - 11th April 2003

He has SPREAD? Edenmaster created shocked shiggy, as a result of our various shiggytations. Weltall started the trend.

So, TC has spread it's influence throughout cyberspace eh? Perfect, the plan is going exactly as..... planned...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Laser Link - 11th April 2003

Hahaha. I posted it in a thread about the smilies over at Kid Tendo, but nobody ever said anything about it. I don't think they like me for some reason. I wonder if that started it.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Sacred Jellybean - 11th April 2003

Didn't either geoboy or big guy (I get the two confused all the time) make it with his recently illegally acquired Adobe Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro software? I'm 100% certain it was one of them... since when has the smiley leaked to other messageboards? I always saw it as a Tendo City trademark...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 11th April 2003

Yeah, I'd never heard of seeing it anywhere else... where?

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Smoke - 11th April 2003

Well I've seen it used several times by different people on the Gaming-Age board and it seems to have spread to Europe.

Shocked Shiggy has gone global! Eek

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Great Rumbler - 11th April 2003

They stole our Shiggy!!

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 11th April 2003

Sue them! How could sites do that...

Of course asking how they found Scared Shiggy is another question... we're not exactly well advertised... :p

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Dark Jaguar - 11th April 2003

Some of us, such as LL, obviously decided to put it in a post on other message boards. From there, the hilarity of it hit and many others spread it further linking to even more message boards. Shiggy isn't quite global, but it's international now.

Now, let's get it into Japan! Some of you MUST have access to some Japanese message board. Just post him in there. Wait for some responses (totally unintelligable as they will be) then just post all our shiggy pictures. Eventually, ol' Miyamoto himself shall see them, and then phase one of our bid for power will be completed!

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - OB1 - 11th April 2003

If only there was some way to show people that it's from Tendo City.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - EdenMaster - 11th April 2003

Unbelieveable! As much as I'd like to take credit for creating the now-famous Shiggy, I did not create it. I DID create Spinny Shiggy, but not the shocked Shiggy.

Weltall, find our Shiggy thread inthe pile of dead UBB threads and find the one where the Shocked Shiggy was unveiled. Then, we can demand royalties from all those who use it!

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 11th April 2003

Where DID the link to the old TC archive go... can't find it...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Sacred Jellybean - 11th April 2003

I'm telling you... it was geoboy who created it. He started the thread where he revealed it, too, if my memory serves right. Coincidentally, he also created a grinning shiggy smiley, and said it should get its own spot instead of replacing the normal grin smiley (:D ). It never got picked up on, though... meh.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Darunia - 11th April 2003

Holy shit, thats amazing! It couldn't be a coincidence could it...if not than one of us must've betrayed it...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - OB1 - 11th April 2003

The TC Archive link on the main page doesn't work.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 11th April 2003

Who did it? We must have BLOOD!

Oh, and if it was geoboy, where's he been in a while... he hasn't been here in quite a while, I think...

Oh, and where is that TC/RC archive?

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Dark Jaguar - 11th April 2003

No no, having it spread is a GOOD thing! It's all part of our eventual rule of Earth. Ruling Earth is a big step in our bid for universal conquest.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 11th April 2003

They are thieves! And don't even acknowledge they got it from us... Eek

:)

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Great Rumbler - 12th April 2003

Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek Eek

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Darunia - 12th April 2003

...Well, don't you think that someone should get in touch with the site owners or something like that?

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - WhiteFleck - 12th April 2003

It'd be nice if we had conclusive evidence to it's creation, though.

WE MUST FIND THE ORIGINAL!

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - alien space marine - 12th April 2003

Aliens clone Shiggy to bring joy to all the little nintendorks everywhere.

EM was the first to use it, if you scroll down to the... 23rd post. Around there, at least. Check it out, I scanned the other pages too. That's the big shiggy thread, but there may be others.

The entire first Shiggy thread, minus the actual pictures, of course.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 12th April 2003

Well without the pictures its kind of hard to prove... :)

Uh, where is scared shiggy?

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Dark Jaguar - 12th April 2003

Yeah, we need the pics!

Doesn't Weltall still have ALL the data from the old site on his PC? I know he gave up uploading it at the time, but I'm sure he kept it all just in case a better upload method came along since we DO all need our history. With that in mind, he should have all the pics too, and thus we can actually take a look at this thread the proper way.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 12th April 2003

Good idea... but we'd have to get him to actually do it...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - EdenMaster - 12th April 2003

No, I wasn't the first. I think that Sacred Jellybean is right, geoboy created it. The first thread ever to contain Shiggies was the "Shigeru Miyamoto has gone insane" thread, and when the Shiggy craze had reached it's peak, I created the "The Shiggy Awards!" thread. So look to the "insane" thread (aptly named) for it's first usage.

*hugs avatar*

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - WhiteFleck - 12th April 2003

The pictures all have different URLs from http://www.tendocity.net. That's why they don't work. Right click to see the image properties. The smilie is called eek.

The only problem is that by EMs usage, it was already a smilie. Hmm...

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Great Rumbler - 12th April 2003

I've been trying to remember when exactly scared Shiggy was first introduced and by whom, but I just can't remember. It's been too long and I've slept [many times] since then.

I still think we should sue!! People are using our scared Shiggy smilie in their evil money-making schemes and that must be punished by public humiliation! Or by paying directly to my numbered Swiss bank account...

I'd be willing to bet money that the Emo-shiggy was first introduced in the second or third page of the "Shigeru Miyamoto has gone insane" thread. I suggest Whitey clean up that page and see if he can find it.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - Sacred Jellybean - 12th April 2003

Nahh, from what I recall, it was introduced on the first post of a thread created by geoboy and caught on immediately. I forget the thread name.

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - WhiteFleck - 13th April 2003

Anyone with FTP access, your help would be appreciated. It's not fun looking though NUMBERED THREADS to try to find "the first post of some thread Geoboy made."

Miyamoto Calls it Quits!? - A Black Falcon - 13th April 2003

Why did that old thread archive Weltall was working on go away or something?

And, uh, what's the link to the admin part of the site (is that and the FTP seperate? I don't know)... I forget the link, or I might do something, if I knew what to do...

Oh, and using the Rumble City Archives (I know, this thread isn't there, but still...) would be much easier if I didn't have to change almost every address from tendocity.net to tcforums.com first... :)
