At the moment there is a festival being held in Japan and one of the floats happens to be related to Kid Icarus: Uprising, and it’s very impressive. Check after the break for the full gallery.

  • Alvaster

    Simply amazing.

    • Kaizar

      Yes it is “Amazing” (by “Young Jeezy”)

    • Belinni

      or “Amazing” (by “Seal”)

  • ManByMyles93

    Cool.

  • Kendall427

    Wow! Publicity! Looks amazing!

  • nintendofan

    I posted a Mii in the float’s website! I’m pretty sure it’s hidden on the platform where Pit and Pal are. That’s awe-inspiring.

    • http://tomscartoons.weebly.com Tom M

      huh? what do you mean?

  • Symbol de Au

    Oh yeah it’s getting close to golden week or something like that. In any case that float is win.

    • Symbol de Au

      Oban Week I think.

    • Ran

      ‘Ougon’ week, and that’s end of April to May 5th. This is a Tachineputa done for Goshogawara in Aomori-prefecture’s summer festival.

  • rulerofyourface

    awsome

  • Holonboy

    Looks amazing.

  • Wix

    Oh my gawd, that’s truly awesome.

  • viet5557

    soooo does microsoft or sony have a float?no!!!

    • Symbol de Au

      Do you really have to mention them in every news story? I guess you may just be a troll though.

    • viet5557

      i dont metion them in every news story this is my first time and how is this a troll

    • Symbol de Au

      By “you” I meant the general populous. I also said “may” be a troll. I won’t mention the reason for why I think you may be a troll it wouldn’t help anything.

    • Z

      He’s trolling because he’s starting controversy. You just couldn’t think of the reason Symbol >:P

    • Symbol de Au

      @Z:
      Actually I had that same reason typed down (sort of) but I deleted it to avoid an argument with him. (I was also going to say that when people post something controversial and unecessary like that they’re usually trying to start something.)

      Well truthfully you’re sort of right. I couldn’t think up a good enough way to phrase it(I guess I should’ve just tried making a more simple comment instead of trying to mention all the groups of people who would be bothered by that type of comment.) so I just left that part out. The paragraph above this is true too though. That’s the reason I decided to stop thinking about a better way to phrase my comment.

    • viet5557

      calm down i was just mad at some sony/microsoft fan calling the 3ds useless

    • Kaizar

      @viet5557 that’s what I thought you meant all along,
      I don’t know how these other guys misunderstood what you were saying,
      But at least people like me knew that you were going after the Sony & Microsoft fanboys who are saying lies about the 3DS.

    • Symbol de Au

      What do you mean calm down? My tone seemed pretty calm to me but I suppose this is the internet so you can never really tell. Regardless if you were going after the Sony and Microsoft fanboys you were definitely trying to start something. You can’t use Microsoft and Sony fanboys as an excuse(implying they’re the ones that started it) either since there were none in this news story. Therefore if controversy had arisen in response to your comment the agitator would have been you not the alleged Sony and Microsoft fanboys. I no longer think you were trolling(at least not on purpose) but how about next time some Sony or Microsoft fanboys call the 3DS useless you try handling the matter in the place it started rather than dragging it somewhere else. In any case you’ve proven my point and to avoid a long argument I won’t respond to you again if you try to argue. I do apologise for implying you were a troll, though I still think you made a mistake.

      @Kaizar: Exactly, Microsoft and Sony fanboys can be trolled as well as Nintendo fanboys can and believe it or not there are some here.

    • ABEzilla

      Ive experienced this so much… exept it was people trolling Modern Warfare (which I enjoy as well as my 3ds) I feel like people discriminate too much…

  • Kaizar

    Is that a hologram or what?

    • Holonboy

      It’s a parade float.

    • Kaizar

      Yeah but is that Pit float made of glass or is it a hologram or is it a balloon or what exactly?

    • http://yahoo.com PIRATES_daniel

      it was made of wires as a body frame and paper on outside. i see the making of that float in one of a video probably it is in youtube. :D

    • Kaizar

      Thanks!

    • itza mufin

      Definatly a hologram cause we have that kind of tech to use on parade floats, right.

    • ABEzilla

      @itza mufin
      I lol’ed at that but really, we dont have holograms for yugioh yet (which would be super awesome)
      and were going to use it on a parade float….

    • Symbol de Au

      @ABEzilla:
      I’m sure you meant to say “Super Special Awesome” right? In any case you’re totally right. Children’s card games should always take priority to meaningless things like parade floats.

    • ABEzilla

      @Symbol de Au
      hell yeah! I just bought a new chocolaty fudge coated mega super card! Imagine it… advanced holograms built for nothing other than to enhance a children’s card game… that would be super special awesome!

  • Generic

    Palutena looks like she could kill someone.

    • Holonboy

      Yeah, she doesn’t look different in this float.

    there should be a metroid float, sucking the life out of kid icarus.

    • ABEzilla

      i grant you +1000 internets for that comment

    • PK-Gaming

      I CALL METROIDFAG

    • Belinni

      Calm down PK-Gaming! XD

      It was probably a reference of when Metroid basically almost killed the Kid Icarus franchise before it even began!

    • Requiem

      Not to mention there are metroids in kid icarus(sorta)

    • https://sites.google.com/site/hybrilynx/ David Hoyle

      no i really meant it like, why the freak isnt there any metroid game at all right now and like every single other game has new ones coming out, or already out. theres new kirby, mario, zelda, animal crossing, like everything but metroid.

    • Kaizar

      @David Hoyle they are working on a new Metroid game, but their still working on the new concepts; like using the Motion Sensosrs and stuff, plus they also have to come up with a script and that takes longer time now of days because it has to be equal to the quality of the 3DS system itself [i.e. the 3D & motion sensors & DLC (which was announced in March 2nd or earlier at GDC 2011 by Reggie) & maybe make use of the microphone for gameplay as well].

      So they are simply still working on writing the Stories & Plots and coming up with ideas for additional kinds of gameplay to do with the new features on the 3DS.

      And they got to make sure the Storylines succeed everything else they have ever done before because of the ability to display 3D with the screen & it having better graphics then all their previous systems (this automatically creates demand for better stories in every way for every reason).

      So suspect a 2012 or 2013 release for Metroid 3DS; most likely 2013.

    • Kaizar

      And they won’t do the graphics until they finish writing the Stories & Plots and all that other stuff;

      which is convenient for Nintendo so they can use 100% of their developers to finish Mario/Animal Crossing/Luigi/Star Fox and so fort by before Chritmas for the 3DS (Luigi & Paper Mario which they probably just stop developing them until they finish the others OR spend lesser time developing them, so they can spend more time to finish the other first party games).

    • ABEzilla

      @PK-Gaming wtf is wrong with metroid? are you mad because its crazy success over shadows earthbound?

    • Hajiki

      All i have to say is 2 different games that have nothing to do with each other.. The end. (I just hope KI:U Comes out when I have lots of money so my wallet has some green in it!)

    • https://sites.google.com/site/hybrilynx/ David Hoyle

      @Kaizar : well there hasnt been a metroid hand held game in 5 years. and as far as the story line and bosses and items go, that shouldnt take long at all. if i can make my own maps, bosses, items, and even little clip scenes on paper and in a week or two, and only during class becuz of boredom, im sure a company can do better when they get paid for it. the only thing that can make it take time is just programming it to the hard drive or whatever its called. i know that takes time but its been over 5 years for a handheld metroid.

    • PK-Gaming

      Uh no, I just don’t like how someone just calls something idiotic when they haven’t even played it yet.

    • Kaizar

      @David Hoyle yeah, but they are currently working on a bunch of other games right; so like Project Sora they can’t even get into think about the game, whether it’s Metroid(Nintendo) or Super Smash Brothers(Project Sora).

      Plus maybe the people at Nintendo didn’t even think of anything Metroid yet; to get around to notice that they should make another handheld Metroid yet.

      P.S. So far I have only played the demo that came with the original DS, but if they make one for the 3DS which I’m sure they will, then I would definitely buy it even though I would probably have to wait for as long as Q4 2013 (like the people who are into Super Smash Bros. and are waiting for the new one in 2013), because these developers are clearly currently to busy working on other games to even be thinking about Metroid & Super Smash Bros.

      Especially Nintendo who is also making 3D Classics of NES games & GameGear games & TurboWhatever games; plus they’re also working making our 3DS capable of recording 3D videos and making new StreetPass games and new AR games and DLC (which was announced in March 2nd or earlier in GDC 2011 by Reggie) & who knows what else they might be working on besides Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Paper Mario and Wii U games.

      So in essence they really got 100% of their resources full right now (like the company that’s making Kid Icarus which is using 100% of all of its company’s resources just to make that one game).

    • https://sites.google.com/site/hybrilynx/ David Hoyle

      as far as the 3d recording goes, that shouldnt be hard at all. there are 2 cameras, low quality, and 2 screens in 1 on a 3ds top screen. unless someone explains that to me i cant imagine how anything 3d can affect time in any way.

      and above everything else, nintendo hasnt had a new console in years. and they seem to be more focused on the wii u instead of the 3ds, which isnt even selling good at all. and its not just metroid, everyone knows the 3ds lacks modern day content, even modern day content 10 years ago. im sure if i look hard enough theres probably a microwave that even sends messages, for example.

      of course, if the 3ds was $169.99 when i bought it in march, i probably wouldnt care much about the lacking. but i paid $250 for this. and i cant even transfer back the dsiware games i put on it, i couldnt even transfer the save data, but i could transfer everything else. what was the point of that?

      or at least pikmin. metroid and pikmin are my 2 favorite games i can think of that i want on a 3ds. but they dont have it. pikmin would have been perfect. i dont even know who they are trying to impress. i literally was a nintendo fan my whole life before the 3ds, but im never going to be a nintendo fan again. well not unless i work there making metroid games. i can make endless metroid games. i really want a paper metroid game though, that would be awesome. a metroid game that you can relax a bit.

    • Kaizar

      @David Hoyle

      Maybe they will make a 3D Classic of an old Metroid game.

      But I do see what you talking about; but I’m still hopeful that they will make a new Metroid handheld game for the 3DS, and if they do, I will buy it for every reason.

      And just the concept to me makes want this to happen so badly, even though I have never played a Metroid game before.

      But as I said they still haven’t even finish Luigi’s Mansion 2 & Paper Mario yet.

      Maybe someone could start a online Petition to get a new Metroid for the 3DS (and to also make a 3DS Virtual Console Metroid or a 3D classic of an old Metroid game, instead of Virtual Console to add to the development of Metroid 3DS by online Petition).

    • Kaizar

      I guess I just got to much HOPE for things like Mega Man Legends 3 coming back and a new Metroid for the 3DS.

      Plus I’m also into such games as Kid Icarus & Rodea the Sky Soldier & Final Fantasy & Golden Sun (like the upcoming 4th GoldenSun coming to the 3DS) & Cave Story 3D & Mario Kart & Kingdom Hearts & etc.

      So for me it was easy to get a 3DS.

      But I do hope they bring Metroid & Mega Man to the 3DS; even though right now it looks hopeless.

      Plus I think Nintendo might be making Pikmin an exclusive game for their Home Consoles ONLY.

      But they did say they will later on make 3D Wii U; so you should look forward to Pikmin 4 on the Wii U, which should be in 3D; plus by then (2014 or 2015) 3D HD T.V.’s should come in 24 inch or 37 inch and cost like $200, because by June 2012 3D HD T.V.’s should cost $600 or $800. And by the time they make Pikmin 4 it would probably be 2014 or 2015; so Nintendo should be making first party Wii U games in 3D by then.

      no im just speaking like what really happens. i just did a random google search and found “Around 5.4 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco.” its nothing like you said. plus theres other ways of death. you should get what i mean.

    can they look up the green haired girls skirt?

    • Symbol de Au

      Yeah if they can get close enough. I don’t even think she’s wearing panties under there so they might be able to see all the way to the metal frame. Ooh and if they’re lucky some of the paint might chip off onto them. Man I wish I could go. If that happened I would never wash the area the paint fell on.

  • Jbluna

    I know the U.S is getting it this year and Europe early 2012, but does japan have an announced date?

    • Kaizar

      You mean Euroasia early 2012

      Because they changed the official name of the Continent.

      P.S. Israel, Iraq and the other countries west of Iran have officially been renamed West Asia (that’s their official name).

  • Ed

    David, just out of curiosity, are you paid/make money to do all this work or do you do it out of passion? If so, what was it about the 3DS that you found so compelling? At any rate I appreciate this!
    I wasn’t planing on getting the 3DS but since the price drop I’ve been highly considering it. Now that the Vita (which I’m set on getting) is delayed I’m even closer to getting the 3DS. I’m glad it’s getting more publicity. I think 3D is “neat” but when I saw it in the store even though I thought it was okay I would look for more from a system I’m curious as to everyone’s input.

    • Fwiller

      although i’m not david, i can answer a few of your questions.

      1. he is indeed paid for making this site, with all the ads he has here (click on the ads! he gets payed!!!!! lol).

      2. this site (however) started out of passion.

      3. regarding the 3d effect on the 3ds, it is a LOT better when it’s sitting with you at home, and you get a chance to really find the sweet spot.

      I guarantee you will enjoy the 3ds. i have had many sleepless nights using the many features of the 3ds, and i believe you will too.

      so basically… get it! ;)

    • Symbol de Au

      @Fwiller:Yeah he also gets a little bit of commision if you press that link(I forget where it is but I think it’s towards the top of the main page) before making a purchase on Amazon.

      @Ed: I like my 3DS mainly because of Nintendo and I wanted one mainly for titles like Dead or Alive Dimensions,(the only game I currently have for it) Paper Mario, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and Animal Crossing. If you can afford both however(seems like you’re getting Vita either way) I say get both they’re both bound to have alot of good exclusives.(Exclusives are the main hook of the 3DS other than 3D.)

    • Symbol de Au

      Actually maybe the link was only in certain new posts and not on the main page at all.

    • Symbol de Au

      news* and also that buy a 3DS link I think.

    • ABEzilla

      @Fwiller I remember telling myself “im only going to beat the deku tree dungeon…” *looks up at clock 12:36 am “ok im only gonna sneak into hyrule castle like a bau5 and i’ll go to sleep” looks up at clock 2:45am “I’m only gonna save in dodongo’s cavern, meh might as well beat dodongo’ looks up at clock 3:12am “ok I’m only going to save at zora’s domain” looks up at clock 4:52am “ok ill save after I get the master sword” sun hits me in the face “well F@$%…”

    • ABEzilla

      also, most likely you saw pilot wings and thats not very good in 3d…

    • Kaizar

      Actually with PilotWings Resort you have to be at just the right angle and make sure that it’s completely in the center of your view and if the very bottom of the screen has a double image effect; just move the 3DS upwards a little until it no longer is there.

      Plus your eyes probably also has to get use to it to adopt; but all I had to do was hold in just the exact right spot (plus I have never had any problems with 3D; which might be why I never needed to adopt to anything for the correct experience).

    • Ed

      Hello All! Thanks for the response!
      I just wanted to clarify somethings. The game I played was actually Streetfighter. Which I didn’t feel was a game that really benifited too much from 3D but I didn’t really play it that much. I didn’t mean to disparage the 3D aspects of the 3DS I do think they are cool and might add to the effect of a game like Zelda. My point though was that I thought there were more compelling reasons to buy a 3DS than simply the 3D aspect.

      To me, the 3D is on part with graphics quality. It’s great to have amazing graphics. Unfortunately people are trying to view it through the lens of it being a gameplay modifier. I doubt that very much. I think it’s just a unique way to improve the graphics. Art style trumps sheer graphics power everytime. That’s why I can still play the GBA version of Super Mario 3. Nothing has impressed me graphically anyways since Crysis 1.

      Now on to the more pressing matter. I do think I will be getting the 3DS sooner or later. I recently (in the past year or so) picked up a DS Light. I am being offered $30 for it from Gamestop is that worth the trade off? The only thing I think it can do that the 3DS can’t is accept gba cartridges. I still have the original GBA so that’s okay (as long as I have a good light source :P). But I dunno, I feel 30 is not quite worth it.

      MORE pressing though is if I should get it for 250 and get the ambassador games. Or if I should wait and get it for 170. I’m more interested in the GBA games to be honest. But is that value of these games enough to offset the $80? I mean how much do games go for on the eshop?

    • Fwiller

      @ Ed, well thats the thing. they don’t actually sell GBA games in the eshop. so it’s actually an exclusive to 3DS ambassadors (for now at least). You can, however, go to Walmart a few days before the official price drop to get it for $170 AND get the 20 free games. Just be sure to log in to the eshop before the official price drop, or your antics will be of no prevail (lol). And about the DS trade in… remember this, Gamestop will ALWAYS swindle you out of your money. Try trading it in to a local game store, (for example, I have a Games n Go next to me) they tend to give you a reasonable price. Honestly though…. if i were you, I’d keep it. those screens are lit really well, so you could play your Gameboy games whenever you want! Though you could just get an AGS-101 model Gameboy SP. Those are HIGHLY recommended for Gameboy games. It’s back-lit so you don’t get the colour wash out like in older SP models, and it’s easy to fold up and but in a bag or in your pocket! Hope this helped! :)

    • BLACK POWER!

      I think they are going to make all the GBA games into 3D classics; because they were already originally program to be displayed in 3D with the GameBoy Advance SP (which also had an 3D screen to display 3D without the glasses).

      Well at least the graphics where already made to be display in 3D; even if they never put the extra programing for the 3D functionality.

      So it shouldn’t take much to make the GameBoy Advance games into 3D classics (plus isn’t 3D classics an upgraded version to be downloaded for free after we have already downloaded the regular version of the game as one of our 10 free GBA games; so technically it’s like up to 40 free games to download, according to Nintendo).

    Hey David,

    Wasn’t the DLC announced back in March 2nd or earlier during the GDC 2011 by Reggie.

    So why did it take you so long to report its existence coming to the 3DS, when it was announced like 6 months ago.

    • Infernite

      IGN did the same thing you know…

    • ABEzilla

      i dont think dlc was 100% confirmed at the time but i remember david mentioning it…

  • iceguy

    downloaded the images to the 3DS.

  • Han Solo

    This just makes me more hyped for the game. It’s my most anticipated game for the 3DS, and it looks amazing. So many other amazing games coming too.

  • ShaDow

    • Kaizar

      I’m an American and all I got to say is Japan has

      Real Live Action female Superheroine p0rn0s both straight & lesbian and Futanari (fake & real)

      And it’s Japan that has REAL WOMEN

      US: FAKE WOMEN

      And the only good XBox game that ever existed was Halo

      And it’s Japan that has the Bestest T.V. Shows of this century (i.e. Chrono Crusade, Yugioh 5D’s, Burst Angel, etc.)

      And America loses half of all the wars we’ve ever been in & America only has 1 million soldiers; while other countries like China have 26 million soldiers.

      And America is the 139th most democratic country in the world (Mexico ranks 140th)

      And Italy is the #1 most democratic country in the world

      Plus America still pays Blacks & Jews as low as 50 cents on the dollar even if you’re an Executive

      And we still have Slavery (a.k.a. human trafficking) in America

      So in summary Japan is awesome and America just keeps going backwards to the 1930′s (thanks to white people always ruining America; like George W. Bush who caused the Global Reccession and made everyone in every country in the world go homeless).

    • Symbol de Au

      @Kaizar: I had alot typed down but instead I’ll just mention that every country has problems involving trafficking and the only war the U.S. ever truly lost was Vietnam.

      @Ryan:Well to tell you the truth I’m only interested in 2D girls.(quoting a manga character.)

      @Both: Killed it. Why so ser10u5!!1??1

    • Ryan

      I repeat fucking best military.
      Entertainment as in movies. No one makes em like America.
      and Kaizar: Wtf? Do you even live in America because have your info is wrong….
      Lol Japan women are either plastic or cartoon.

    • Ryan

      And please explain how xbox could be better because currently its number one as a home console atm. Compared to the wii the xbox has way higher graphical capabilities. Also its High Def gaming. Wii is mainly for kids. Xbox has more than Halo if you just explore and try new things: Dead Space, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Saints row, GTA, Mortal Kombat, etc.

    • SAY WHAT!

      lmao list more 3rd parties plz

    • Kaizar

      Yeah but the 3DS has battlefield 3 3D and Saints Row and Call of Duty.

    • Kaizar

      And I always try new things more than you do Ryan:

      Kid Icarus

      Rodea the Sky Soldier

      Cave Story

      Thor: Prequel (my 1st superhero game)

      Crush 3D

      Ocarina of Time 3D (my 1st Zelda game)

      Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype (my 1st Mega Man game)

      Luigi’s Mansion 2 (my 1st Luigi game)

      Paper Mario 3D (my 1st Paper Mario game)

      Spyro Skylanders Adventure (my 1st Spyro game)

      While you Ryan keep playing the same old Call of Duty , battlefield and Mortal Kombat etc. Evertime they make a new one.

      P.S. I have played Mortal Kombat 15 years ago.

    • Kaizar

      And Golden Sun is one the best video games ever.

    • Ryan

      Battlefield 3ds was a mistake written on the EA portugal blog they even said so themselves. Why would you want it anyone it would be super dumbed down? Saints Row:Driveby 3ds was cancled, and there is nothing that says a call of duty is being worked on atm. So…I dont know where you even got that one. Yeah I like 3ds but if I had to pick I would prefer xbox 360.
      Lol you can say you try more things then me when you dont even know. And half the games you listed arent even out so…?

    • ABEzilla

      @Ryan cod,modern warfare, well all those games aren’t new things they’ve all been done before…and no matter what you say the wii still beat the 360 by 30-40 sum million…. also the xbox always had over heating problems and would break down (i know this cuz i have the new one and before that I had about 3-4 of the old models…) main reason I got it was because online on the wii was garbage and i didnt want to miss out on games like blazblue,marvel vs capcom 3,resident evil 5, and Bayonetta and japanese women are real (you dont see allot of boob jobs and shit like that or pounds of make up on thier faces…) my girlfriend is japanese so you dont know youre talking about…

    • Z

      @Kaizar
      The US is number 17 according to the democracy index of 2010. I don’t know where you got your info from, but it’s wayyy off. #139 is Côte d’Ivoire.
      DERP!!!!

    • Kaizar

      I forgot to mention Shinobi (3DS) (which is gonna be my 1st Shinobi game)

      Comes out November 15 2011

      P.S. The 3DS has way more better online gaming then XBox 360 and the 3DS has a more faster Internet connection then the XBox 360

      Just try loading Netflix on XBox 360 and then try to load Netflix on the 3DS; it loads way more faster on the 3DS then the XBox 360.

    • Kaizar

      @Z I got my info from the AP (Associated Press)

      Like back in 2006 or somewhere around that year.

      And I heard this information from American Television News talking about where America ranks (according to the AP).

    • Ryan

      Uhm you seem to be a dumbass because the online capabilites of the Xbox 360 completely blow away the 3ds. Just tried the 3ds vs 360 Netflix thing you said uber fail xbox 360 loaded ten times faster. And I already said your list of games that are good for the 3ds havent come out yet so that list is shit at the moment. I just realized you are a fucking nintendo fanboy. Jesus christ learn to like other things your opinion is one sided. I have an xbox 360 and 3ds and theres no fucking comparison 3ds is shit to xbox.

    • Kaizar

      The 3DS is a HANDHELD.

    • Kaizar

      And I was referring to loading a movie on one.

      Then try loading the same movie on the other.

    • Ryan

      Exactly the 3ds is a handheld so the fuck are you saying its better than a home console? Now do you see why I think you are possibly the stupidest motherfucker to ever type something on the internet.

    • BLACK POWER!

      I’m with Kaizar, ABEzilla, Brian L., Symbol de au & so fort on this.

      I think Ryan is just another angry CLOSET SOLO WHITE SUPREMACIST, who has been showing their true colors ever since we got a Black President.

      @Ryan stop taking your hatred for all minorities out on none American companies, like such great Japanese companies as Nintendo.

      Blacks & Japanese are just the best at everything okay.

      P.S. Albert Einstein was 100% an Ethiopian descendant Middle Eastern (a.k.a. 100% Jewish).

    • Ryan

      Its funny because Im not white lol.

    • Ryan

      Plus I said I liked nintendo.

    • Ryan

      Thus making you sir,…a complete dipshit.

    • Symbol de Au

      @BLACK POWER!:
      For the record I wasn’t taking sides. Especially cnsidering every one in this argument seems to be posting alot of BS(except ABEzilla) including you. Also it’s all subjective(except for the BS) so arguing is pointless.(unless you’re arguing for fun.)

    • Ryan

      BS? FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHH!

    • BLACK POWER!

      Unless you lying about not being white because we’re on the Internet.

      Plus even pure black people are BLACK WHITE SUPREMACIST; so it doesn’t matter what nationality you are because you can still be a white supremacist; no matter if you’re a LATINO WHITE SUPREMACIST or a BLACK WHITE SUPREMACIST or some other kind of (insert race here) WHITE SUPREMACIST.

      Don’t you watch CNN & MSNBC you CLOSET SOLO MINORITY WHITE SUPREMACIST.

    • BLACK POWER!

      @Symbol de Au

      I’m arguing for fun.

      But Ryan is arguing because he’s a CLOSET SOLO MINORITY WHITE SUPREMACIST.

      Maybe Ryan is a self hating Jew or a self hating Black or a self hating Latino.

      Thank GOD for CNN & MSNBC.

    • Devon

      Well, this turned into one violent argument. Neither side is proving a point, therefor, this argument is invalid. And @Brian L. Ikr? I’m moving to japan when I’m an adult :)

    • BLACK POWER!

      I’m 100% with Devon on this.

      Devon is right, fuck Ryan with an elephants dick.

    • BLACK POWER!

      Ryan is just one of those people who hates every country that’s not America and says that America is better than all the other countries in the world (like Fox News Channel).

      In other words Ryan is the Glenn Beck/Mel Gibson/Rush Limbaugh of this blog.

    • Ryan

      Silence Blacky mc Black pants! Your on to me! I CUT U AND ALL UR DAMN JEW FRIENDS!

    • ABEzilla

      wow lol to think I started this with an attempt at being humorous about japan and america…. oh and Ryan, IN AMERICA!

      this is exactly why i hate when ever racial topics come up. I mean come on, how immature can you all be.

      And also guys, it’s NOT ok to argue like this ruthlessly on a gaming blog, but if you ABSOLUTELY feel the need to do it….

      DON’T….. FABRICATE….. YOUR…..FACTS!!!!!!!

    • ABEzilla

      @KeigoNiwa well it seems you are having a shit fit… we werent talking about race we were talking about nations… until Black power here had to come on here and call the world a white supremacist… will you read a thread correctly before posting your nonsense? and they arent arguing “ruthlessly” as people have stated its for fun… so stop PMSing kay?

    • BLACK POWER!

      @ABEzilla

      I only called Ryan a white supremacist.

    • ABEzilla

      @BLACK POWER!
      you went on to say that people of any race could be white supremacists.

    • Kaizar

      @ABEzilla I think you misread Black Power!’s comment; he was saying even if Ryan isn’t lying about not being white, he’s still a Closet Solo Minority White Supremacist.

      Unless he is white then he is just a Closet Solo White Supremacist.

    • BLACK POWER!

      @ABEzilla

      Because Ryan was claiming that he was of any race.

      So thank goodness for CNN & MSNBC for informing us about MINORITY WHITE SUPREMACIST.

      @ ABEzilla:

      …But I LIKE attending the annual phallic festival…I mean, a whole day devoted to my favorite part of me? America needs a Kanamara Matsuri… (LMBO I’m kidding.)

    • http://OperationMoogle.wordpress.com/ Brian L.

      Wow, did this thing get ugly fast! Com’on guys, this was all just for fun at first! Don’t ruin it by being typical human beings.

      @ Ryan:

      #1: We may have the most advanced military in the world…but that’s changing. We’re rapidly going broke, the world is getting tired of us being the world police (for one reason or another), and our military has lost serious morale in the last decade.

      Meanwhile, Japan, after experiencing WWII, resigned in having a military altogether and only have a defense force, beating America to the punch in living life without military power. Plus, being the only nation ready to deal with earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis, Godzilla, and having the world’s only experience of surviving nuclear blasts, they have the upper hand on us there.

      #2: Depends what you’re talking about, because much of American music has generally declined, we don’t read anymore, and most of our biggest movies are comic books.

      A lot of famous comic book artists/creators grew up as manga/anime fans (like Alex Ross), and many today draw inspiration from the Japanese. I for one do. I love plenty of American movies, but my beloved America did not create FLCL, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Akira, or Cowboy freakin’ Bebop.

      And I prefer Japanese video games like Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom more than Halo and God of War. Just me.

      #3: Yeah, but Japan has Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PS3, and soon, the PS Vita and Wii U…and before that, they had NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, PSP, and a load of arcade games that made ours look like crap. Compare.

      #4: I’m sorry you missed the awesomeness that is Gundam. Those were some badass series. Though, I’m not going to lie–I was the green ranger growing up.

      #5: Japan has real women…trust me…

      Though, p0rn altogether is rather tasteless, so just go to Japan where Japanese girls dig American guys!

      Also, they get the process of, um, mammary enhancements, far more naturally than the unnatural beach balloons Americans typically see.

      Did I win or what?

    • http://OperationMoogle.wordpress.com/ Brian L.

      @ BLACK POWER!:

      Dude, your comments were totally unnecessary, man. You turned this friendly debate ugly.

      And your “fact” about my scientific heor Einstein was WAY off. The Jewish people are a Semitic people, making them more closely related to the Babylonians, Arabs, and Egyptians than the Ethiopians. Not everyone who occupies Africa is automatically “black,” man. There are “yellow” and “white” people living there, too.

      And get over yourself. Nobody today should have to feel uncomfortable being whatever ethnicity they are. And nobody brought up the issue of “race” here until you did (and unnecessarily so).

      Racism is caused two ways–hatred of “race” and excessive pride of “race.” Get over yourself being black. I’M “black” and I do not brag about it over other people. People should appreciate the uniqueness of their ethnicity, but never boast it over another’s. That’s the only way racism’s gonna end in this world we have to share. One love, man.

      If you’re going to debate, stay on-topic.

    • Kaizar

      I’m 100% with Brian L. on this.

    • Kaizar

      @Brian L.

      You are an enabler of Neo Nazi’s who say they are going to kill all Black & Jews.

      So Brian L. STOP enabling Ryan.

    • Kaizar

      I take one of my comments back.

      As in I’m 0% with Brian L. On this (now that I have re-read this blog).

      It was Ryan who started this race war by talking about the Japanese race, instead of country; Ryan racistly attack the Japanese race and later on also attacked Japanese women & Blacks & Jews.

      @Ryan

      Dude, your comments were totally unnecessary, man. You turned this friendly debate ugly.

      And get over yourself. Nobody today should have to feel uncomfortable being whatever ethnicity they are because you are going to CUT (KILL) all the NONE WHITE PEOPLE on this blog like Brian L. (black guy). And nobody brought up the issue of “race” here until you did (and unnecessarily so).

      Racism is caused two ways–hatred of “race” and excessive pride of “race.” Get over yourself being a WHITE AMERICAN. I’M a “WHITE AMERICAN” and I do not brag about it over other people.

      @Brian L.

      When it comes to you WINING (like Charlie Sheen), you are a liar and you are misinforming people; because it was Ryan that bring up the subject of race talking about the “Japanese race THIS” and the “Japanese race THAT”.

      Plus, you Brian L. are the only person here who feels uncomfortable about their own race from BLACK POWER!’s comment; because you Brian L. are a SELF HATING BLACK (a.k.a. BLACK WHITE SUPREMACIST), which you just recently realize about yourself; from BLACK POWER! quoting CNN & MSNBC.

      And to say that BLACK POWER! made you uncomfortable about you being your own race, is like saying that CNN & MSNBC made you feel uncomfortable of being your own ethnicity (because they said it a million times first on CNN & MSNBC, before BLACK POWER! ever quoted them).

      I too also watch both CNN & MSNBC and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart & The Colbert Report on top of that, because they never run away from the truth, plus they are fair & balance.

      What do you watch Brian L. “FOX NEWS CHANNEL”
      Typical.

      P.S. Black people (especially black Rappers) only refer to guys as bitches & Ho.

      While all 100% of my fellow white males only refer to Women and Girls as bitches & whores.

      Like Black rapper Jay-Z who calls himself a HO every time and Lil Wayne who has also called himself a Ho a million times and Lil Wayne even called himself a Whore 2 times in one song, as well as calling all his fellow men in the world bitches & ho’s every so often; F.Y.I. Your one them Brian L.

  • EpIcBrAdFoRd

    Nintendo is the best company ever. Sony’s stupid Vita will = Epic Fail. I know the awesome Nintendo 3DS hasn’t been selling good, but Nintendo is going to drop the price, and give early buyers 20 free games. When the Vita sells horribly, who knows what the idiots at Sony will do, they will probably raise the price for all we know, because the people at Sony are ~STUPID~

    • TheFreak

      God Dammit SHUT UP!
      I really hate Sony for the arrogant people that work there and I am boycotting every product by them, but I don’t feel the need to directly attack them. Unlike Sony, Nintendo has never said anything bad about their concurrence. That’s why i respect them, as opposed to Sony’s aggressive insults. You, Sir, are putting Nintendo fans in the same category. Don’t do that.

      If, at least, you gave an explanation for your thoughs, you would be forgiven, but ”Nintendo is God, Sony is STUPID DURR HURR” won’t get us anywhere if the 3DS is selling badly.

      And just because somebody has more sells, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re actually “better.”

      Keep it friendly, guys.

    • Kaizar

      @Brian L.

      The easy majority of all Americans listen to rap music.

      So you should stop hating the majority of Americans.

      Hate is hate; no matter how you dress it up.

      And you should also stop enabling people who physically are literally trying to kill Blacks & Jews or at least want to kill Blacks & Jews.
      That’s just wrong.

  • ShaDow

    The majority of America also listens to rock and rock is like the most popular in the world. I love rap but too many tasteless rappers like Wiz Khalifa are appearing. What happen to the trashy music not appearing on the Hits radio? All those Hit stations are becoming trashy like VA beaches Hot 100.5. And if ur saying why isn’t rock played on the popular stations it’s because the people who play the songs on those stations don’t like rock or at least 100.5 dont like rock.

    • Kaizar

      Love your comments.

      Thanks!

  • ShaDow

    Wait I thought this article was about kid Icarus float not racism and music? Random commenters are random.

    • Kaizar

      Ryan started it by mentioning race when he bash on the Japanese race.

      He said a lot racist lies about the Japanese race and started a race war on this page.
