Yes. It will. And for the record, I've heard this exact argument three times now. N64 and GameCube were both Nintendo's last system. A few people said it in the SNES days, but they were all die-hard drooling idiot Sega fanboys, so their opinion can be dismissed. Time sure does tell.

PikaPikaSP! Edit: I figured as long as I was criticizing the existing Eva skin, I should go ahead and make one. Mainly because I was bored. The pose made it a little awkward to frame. ... Hmmm... maybe if I'd rotated it a little more than 90 degrees I could've done it a little better.

The Tallgeese was the original prototype. The Leos don't perform as well because the Tallgeese was deemed far more powerful than was needed. They were intentionally scaled back.

Why would their next be the last? They've made quite good money on the GameCube. So what if they aren't selling as much as the PS2? Nintendo still manages to make a profit. Nintendo executives have gone on record numerous times saying they'll continue to make video game systems. They have the most recognizeable icons in the industry, just because theyre not #1 doesnt mean theyre going to drop out of the business. Precisely.

All 3 versions of the Aniemigo release(9-disk box, 3-disk boxes, individual disks) come with liner notes. Disk 9 is noteless in all 3 versions. There are only 8 liner note cards.

Ooooh, pretty.... I'd've oriented Rei horizontally, so I could make her bigger, but... Prettypretty.

What makes it diffrent than the 2600, INTV, and Channel F? </nitpicky_bastage> Wireless controllers out of the box, an optical disc drive, digital/optical out for surround sound, most likely support for hi-def TVs... I was nitpicking the fact that it wasn't that diffrent from everything from the 5200 and up. Which is true, really. It's more and better hardware, but the fundamental concept hasn't really changed since the Channel F introduced the concept of a fully programmable game system.

I think even the newer Japanese version of it have those scenes cut out. I found the pages randomly on a Shirow website... you aren't mising much. YES I AM! MUST HAVE CARTOON SEX!

Was the GitS 2 graphic novel supposed to be censored or uncensored? I assume uncensored, based on the fact it has a sticker on the front saying it's for 18+. Haven't had a chance to look yet. There were a couple different versions of GiTS2 from what I remember, I don't think we ever got the completely uncensored version. The original version had a couple scenes of very graphic sex that Shirow cut out. Far more graphic than the stuff cut out from the original GiTS, we're talking hardcore porno kind of graphic. *makes note to import the japanese version*

Actually, it's going to be a movie for the PSP. I don't know if it's getting a DVD release or not, but it's supposedly a definate thing for a UMD release. huh?!?! why's that? You mean I gotta watch that beautifully animated movie on a tiny @$$ screen? ugh, that sucks. They better release it later on dvd.... I'm going to assume that you've never seen a movie play from a UMD on the PSP? Believe me, especially coming off the Gameboys and the DS, the PSP's screen really isn't all that tiny, and really does do justice to movies on UMD. I was literally floored when I popped Spider-Man in just to see how it looked... and if you've got good headphones, the PSP sounds amazing, too. Plus, the PSP's screen is already 16x9 for widescreen... Off the memory stick, well... it's still looking really good, but compression and what not take their toll. Yes, but compared to a nice TV, the PSP sucks. Even if you have to letterbox it because your TV is 4:3. We're talking small for a movie player here, not small for a game machine. JB0, have you seen UMD movies on the PSP? The fact is, unless you have a really nice TV with progressive scan and component video, movies look nicer on the PSP. The average person prefers having a large picture to having a clear one. That's why projection TVs exist. It's why pan/scan movie releases exist. And so on. No one every complained about the QUALITY of the image. Just the size.

Backwards roman numerals. You want Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home.

Hey, what more do you want? The USA isn't about giant Super Robots. Japan is, and to a lesser extent the rest of Asia. At least they gave you a fully functional useful SuperRobot early in the 70's. The rest of us had to wait for G Gundam. Yes, but they gave us a fully functional super robot that looked like a clown. Why couldn't we have Voltron? It's not like the japanese want him anyways.

Before we start applying real world physics to a piece of fantasy, lets remember this is the same series someone used a ground combat unit for air combat. IT didn't make sence since episode 1 so why should it make sence now? True. I was just pointing out that the problem with the mech was the artists chose to briefly acknowledge physics.

Oh, it WAS pretty. But that was about all it had going for it. ... Or maybe I'm just biased. No fuchikomas, no Seburos, what was I SUPPOSED to think? To be fair, the story is at least somewhat lifted from the books. Even if they DID latch onto some really irrelevant tangents, and skip the more interesting plots(the nature of humanity issue that ran through the entire show was boiled down to a 4 page sidestory in the comics, leaving us with a much less angsty Major Kusanagi).

Ummm... the Tallgeese's abuse of it's pilot was just a rare moment of Gundam Wing properly observing the laws of motion. High-speed changes in direction are rough on the pilot by default, because his momenteum keeps trying to carry him in the original direction. Match performance, match pilot suffering.

Old combiner type Super Robot Not to mention the unofficial Philippine national hero. Why doesn't Uncle Sam have a super robot? patriotism--; Uncle Sam has the Texas Mack. (see Getter Robo or Shin vs Neo Getter Robo) ... Texas Mack isn't exactly something to set the burning fires of pride within someone's heart.

I think that's a bit of a lose-lose there.

Nice.

It's only in the one scene. ... There's maybe 2 more pages of nudity in the entire thing, and they're non-explicit.

The current graphic novel release is uncensored. And comes in plastic wrap to protect the kiddies.

Heh. ... VF GIRL SOUND FORCE!
