Map Requests / RE: Mario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi maps

« on: July 24, 2006, 10:10:10 pm »

You could/should make another topic for those Micro Machines maps. You already know how difficult it is for requests to be fulfilled, but it's less likely if they're going to be drowned out in this topic.



Anyway, RyuMaster just sent in maps for the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 (the Famicom version of what we know as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels).  I'll probably get them up this weekend.

Here are the teaser posters...which look almost exactly as I had imagined (and that everyone would've expected)...

VGMaps Social Board / RE: Has anyone here ever changed their net indentity?

« on: July 24, 2006, 12:07:28 pm »

My name, as you can tell, isn't very original.  It's usually JonLeung, though there have been variations like JonLeung1, JonathanLeung, or JLeung...



Which might be a concern, but if you look up my name in Google, you would find a large number of Jonathan Leungs that AREN'T me...including a white guy, a wrestling fan, some guy who knows Jet Li or Jackie Chan or one of those Asian actors, and more.



I've often recounted the story of another Jonathan Leung at my high school who was a foreign exchange student who didn't renew his student visa.  They were asking me about it, and at the time I didn't know what that was, so I was like, "I don't have a credit card!"  >_>



I may change me name one day, but only if I find one that I know I'll like enough to stick with for a long time.



On a side note, "VGMAPS.COM" was the name of my Nightmare character that I worked on in the Conquest Mode of Soul Calibur II (arcade version exclusive mode) that eventually racked up over 10000 wins (a feat that took over 80 hours).  I've mentioned that before in a topic in the Gaming board but I thought it was worth pointing out that at one time this site was my name, so to speak.

Oops.



Try "tabbing" (or shift+tabbing) over to where the subject line would've been, then press enter. I probably just forgot a subject, so you have to click on (or enter) a no-letter subject title.

Apparently it's been confirmed that Peter Cullen, the voice of G1 cartoon's Optimus Prime, has been confirmed to do the voice of Optimus Prime in the movie.



Frank Welker, the voice of the G1 cartoon's Megatron, has apparently auditioned and is being considered.

VGMaps Social Board / RE: New Transformers The Movie DVD coming soon

TerraEsperZ Said:

The man who composed the musical score is named Vince DiCola, and he also did Rocky IV (which has the same kind of electronic music).

Having seen Rocky IV on TV just last week, in fact, I noted how Ivan Drago's theme was similar to Unicron's!



Funny how we seem to talk about movies that I've recently seen.

Thanks for clearing that up, bustin98!  Obviously I'm not as well-versed in Transformers as I had hoped...time for me to pick up the DVDs of the entire G1 cartoon series.



Despite having watched it numerous times on VHS, I will likely buy this DVD.  My friend had the Canadian version of the movie on DVD (before it got stolen)...though I forget how it was different from the original US DVD release...but it was still pretty bare-boned.  I recall it had a video with a short interview with the composer (forgive me for forgetting his name at this moment) but little else.



I also remember that one chapter was called "Swear Word".  Sheesh.

I just didn't remember Blaster as being in any of the pre-movie episodes, but it's not like I'm saying he's unwelcome at all.



I believe the MP-04 Optimus Prime is the best toy...it looks like that one, with the long stacks (gasp!) and the trailer as well.  Too bad they didn't go with this most popular design of Optimus for the live-action movie...



As for this 20th anniversary DVD of the movie (which is what this topic is about), I certainly hope there are some good extras.  I heard that there will be some "Transformers facts" submitted by fans (I guess they think they can depend on the fans for the fact-checking, which, though kind of sad, is probably necessary), and those will probably be those "pop-up" things that seem popular on DVDs, but there ought to be more than that.

I bought the Transformers The Movie poster a long time ago but never put it up for some reason.  I'm sure you've all seen it...the Transformers introduced in the movie are firing up at Unicron.  I like how this is very similar, but instead shows the more "classic", pre-movie Transformers.  Oh, wait, maybe Blaster is "new".  I forget.  Still, it's cool.



On a related note:



Sweet, but note: the DVD isn't included.

Gaming / Animal Crossing: The Movie trailer

« on: July 20, 2006, 09:06:13 pm »

Animal Crossing movie trailer!



I wonder if it actually is a "movie", or if it's a show (bad translation could refer to it as a movie, my mom calls TV shows "movies" all the time).  Because I think the nature of Animal Crossing would lend itself much better to a TV show, if it had to be adapted at all.



Imagine: episodic silliness involving the characters found in every town, plus a boy and a girl. Or two of each, like in those Animal Crossing (for GameCube) commercials.  Special visitors and particular animal villagers could be the focus of a particular episode, but then they leave or move away at the end of it.



What do you guys think?



Oh, here's the official Japanese site.  Looks like Kapp'n and Tom Nook are definitely in it.

I hear there are images of his robot form now, though maybe it's a smaller model, as I thought Bumbleebee was the only full-sized robot model they were going to build.



According to TFW2005.com, supposedly he "appears to be similiar to G2 Laser Prime and has similiar visual features to G1 Optimus Prime".

Mapping Tips/Guides / RE: How much disk space do your own maps take?

« on: July 20, 2006, 10:59:23 am »

Ah, but depending on the layout of the maps, pixel-count can be misleading as well.



Last I checked, which was a few days ago, all of VGMaps.com can still be backed up on a single CD-ROM.
