No more Nintendo controllers*?

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 23, 2008, 10:27 AM
*except the Wii Nunchuck.
Apparently, Nintendo lost their case against the company that patented the technology for controllers with certain functions- and may have to pull sales of ALL Nintendo GameCube and Wii controllers, except for the Nunchuck.

However, this is only in the States, I believe. I'm not surprised.

I just wonder what this will do to sales of the Wii. Couple this with a disappointing E3 from Nintendo, and the Wii may end up about as popular as the GameCube.

dA RPG- Because it's time to go on a journey!

Level: 19 HP: 150/209 MP: 235/235
EXP: 3443 (+25 since July 20!) Next Level: 3500 (57 to go)
Coming soon, dA RPG in HD! (Not dA in HD, but that'd be nice)

Enemies:
Dark Stalker (Secret of Mana)
Griffin Hand (Secret of Mana)
Rabite (Secret of Mana)
Mushboom (Secret of Mana)
Lullabud (Secret of Mana)

Secret of Mana enemies fill the new floor, yet the floors are getting shorter- a sign I'm nearing the top.

Hold off on the site I told you about last week.

...not because it's a bad site, but because it's currently under construction. I was actually told to hold off advertising until the site gets better (which I think will be soon). Don't worry, I'll let you know when!

Enemies:
Eye Goo (Breath of Fire)
Lavoid (Breath of Fire)
Nut Mage (Breath of Fire)
Beak (Breath of Fire)
SlimeX (Breath of Fire)

I should've expected this. Enemies from the Breath of Fire series now stand in my way. I have to wonder, though, what other series are left? Maybe this means the lighthouse is almost done?

Could it be time to go back to the 3-day schedule?

Could it already be time to go back to the 3-day schedule? Because it seems things are picking up again around here. I guess every year from mid-June to mid-July is the time everyone goes outside. Afterwards, it's too hot, and/or people are in school. I'm closing in on 3400 views, thanks everyone :)

That's only part of the news. I'm also a moderator of the Indie Gaming Portal ([link]), and have been since Tuesday. The Indie Gaming Portal takes submissions of ANY indie/homebrewn project, it's not just RPG or Game Maker. I'd imagine this includes the Nintendo DS, it just hasn't come up yet. Technically, though.

I've seen a couple of projects on dA that could qualify, so if you know of some, or better yet, have some, feel free to swing by!

Enemies:
Green Dragon (Dragon Quest)
King Slime (Dragon Quest)
Metal Babble (Dragon Quest)
Jargon (Dragon Quest)
Candy Cat (Dragon Quest)

It's Dragon Quest's turn in the lighthouse, I suppose. Too bad Metal Babbles don't actually give more experience in this version. The Green Dragon gave me a little bit of a burn, but not too bad. I was lucky the King Slime's body slam attack failed, for that can cause people to blow up into pieces! (Seriously, it happens in DQ4 if your HP is in the green.)

The second drawing is going to be made soon.

Drawing #2 is going to be made soon, sometime in the next couple days. The first one was a montage for LucidDreamsPhoto.

And, it looks like dA has changed recently! Most of the site looks better, however, I miss seeing the lists for deviations and messages, because it takes time to load all the images.

Enemies:
Hill Giant (Final Fantasy)

Bomb (Final Fantasy)
Aqua Flan (Final Fantasy)
WarMech (Final Fantasy)

Looks like I was right about other games joining in. It seems each floor of this lighthouse will have enemies from a single game series.

First of the ten drawings will be made tonight.

I've got good news. The first of the ten drawings for dArtists that were between 2000 and 2012 on my Deviations notice board (there were a couple ties) are coming tonight. Generally, I do my drawing on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with the other days for my RPG (not dA RPG).

Also, it seems there is a bug in the code for Mood, as it is stuck on Amazed. I get a gray box with a dancing face each time I try to change it.

Reached 3300 Experience and have a new Trident to use. No, not the gum.

Enemies:
Tonberry (Final Fantasy X)
Mist (Breath of Fire)
Evil Genie (Dragon Kingdoms I)
Flamer (Dragon Kingdoms III)
Light Cloud (Dragon Kingdoms I)

Still in the Coral Shores Lighthouse. Not a whole lot of action going on right now, but earlier, there were a bunch of enemies! I had to find and defeat enemies from Dragon Kingdoms in order to progress. I wonder if other games will join in on other floors.
