So Nintendo replied to if the Mario screenshots are real...

[Drunk Hobbit]

Sorry Danny,

We cannot confirm that these pictures are real. Thank you for sharing
though. They look very nice.

To make sure you always have official information on Mario Sunshine,
keep checking our web site at www.nintendo.com.

Have fun!

Nintendo of America Inc.

Argh!

[Drunk Hobbit]

Goes to show how much NOA knows about such things. Guess I'll email Nintendo of Japan and Europe now.

[BlueFire]

I wouldn't expect a better reply from NOA. ;)

[Gamer]

Hahaha, well, i guesse we'll never know...

[thatmariolover]

Nintendo of America has nothing but retards working for it. At least in the departments that the public (and half of the time, press) gets to talk to.

They can't confirm it? I mean come on...

[Revival]

You might get a better response from Japan.

[Joeiss]

Wow. It is good to know that NOA is up to date with the pictures that are released by Nintendo of Japan.

Unless those pictures are not real... Which I doubt is likely.

[Drunk Hobbit]

Emailed Nintendo of Japan. The waiting game begins...

Did you type it in Japanese with your superb Japanese skillz? :D

[Drunk Hobbit]

Hmm maybe I should have...and paying attention in Japanese class might have helped. If I get no response or I get an email back asking about soup, I'll write one in Japanese.

[Revival]

Could you write one all in Japanese is the real question.. :unsure:

[GameMaster]

It's not the online representitives faults. They're not allowed to give us good answers that answer our questions. They pull everything out from a book.

[Joeiss]

I think it is stupid that Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Japan do not release images of games on their websites first. It makes no sense, IMO.

[Heyyoudvd]

This might be a stupid question 9since I don't know any Japanese whateover) but how do they use keyboards?

Don't both Chinese and Japanese have hundreds of symbols in the language?

[Drunk Hobbit]

Well I have a program where you type the transliteration and then the word in Japanese pops up. Like type sushi and you'll get the two kana that make up the word sushi. The same goes for Japanese words in kanji (Chinese characters). When you type it in you have a choice of it being in hiragana, katakana, or kanji and you just select which one you want to appear. Dunno how it is in Japan though.

They are actually expecting the game to look any worse??

[gekko]

They are real.

#1) IGN doesn't put up fake screenshots
#2) They're right here: http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/screenshots.jsp?gameId=824

[azazela31]

Guys who was expecting MUCH more??

I mean I don't care if people argue that gameplay comes first and all but the game looks worse than Sonic Adventure 1 for Dreamcast!!

I mean if the game will look the same on my TV as it does in the pics, then Nintendo can forget get me. They are losing a customer.

Then why did Nintendo respond with that e-mail to Danny?

Because they suck like any other company on the net.

When I send them an e-mail and asked if a UK GCN will work in other PAL countries they said "We don't have this infomation at the moment"

My ass they didn't they just suck... they don't want to waste their time and aren't bothered.
