Question Bye Bye "Shine Get!" ?

Do you think they'll replace the now loved "Shine Get!" to something with better English like "Got Shine!" ?

Why does it matter? What's so big about Shine Get? Who cares if they replace it with something else? Why does it deserve being in your avatar?

I think they'll probably change it to something else...

Or Nintendo might do "got milk" type comercials if they did "Got Shine!" thus drawing in all the milk user fan base to sell their game! Yes! I am on to them! Sly ones Nintendo be.

I guarentee you that it will be changed.

"You got the shine!"

or

"Got shine!"

or

"Hey look. You just received a sun coin. It can be used for several different things. You now have one more shine."

Default Wrote an email to Nintendo

Dear whoever may be answering (forced to read) this email at the present time,

Please don't let them change the phrase "Shine Get!". I know it's pretty bad English but people have grown to love it. Look at "All Your Base Are Belong To Us." That game was translated so terribly that it won world acclaim. (I hear old Cats is getting his own sit-com with a 12-year-old daughter.) I was thinking that for the American audience you may change it to "Got Shine!" thus having people get it confused with the "got milk?" ad campaign. The milk user fan base will stop buying milk and instead shell out $50 for Super Mario Sunshine wondering why their milk was so expensive and how their cereal was never soggy again. Changing the catch phrase will ultimately send the earth into a nuclear winter with rabid mutate bunny rabbits as the rulers of this galaxy and the next. The next being that one which appears in the shape of Paul Newman's head when you view it from a 74 degree angle from the horizon on the Eastern seaboard. You, yes you, the one reading this email, get out of your chair and make a difference! Save the world while you still can, and get your Shine on while doing it. You're going to have to break into Nintendo's Secret Lab of Death, though fully padded with GORE-TEX® so death cannot occur (duck feathers are so fluffy). Now butt-stomp the wooden crate to hit the button which releases the door from its locked position. Using ninja skills acquired through years of watching Bruce Lee films take out the two guards who at the moment are comparing the sizes of their specially made fitted hats. Good, now you should be in the Eternally Not Quite Dark As You Would Have Thought Room. Head past the nude pictures of Peach and Zelda pinned to the walls. (Zelda has stopped returning my calls and I'm kind of peeved about it since she used to do this great little thing with her tongue that- ahem, back to the mission.) In the next room on the lone computer there enter the password "billgatesismybitch". This should allow you to enter the main database. Once again ignore the hugely insane amount of porn. Eh, save some to floppy if need be. In the folder marked "Mushroom Haze" simply change the phrase back to "Shine Get!" See, that wasn't so hard. But of course by now the air supply has been shut off and you will be dead within the minute. Don't let that get you down. You still have the porn. You still have the porn... Good luck and fear the bunnies.

They better not.

I love "Shine Get". It's so Japanese it makes me .

Shine Get kix ass, and DH it does matter. You must learn to appreciate the Japanese! They're wacky, yet strict. Loud, yet quiet.

They're JAPANESE!

Honto honto!! They are!

Danchastu :- Nani?
bobcat:- Watashi no, namae wa Michael Jackson des
Danchastu:- Honto?
bobcat:- hai, hai

Wasn't sure about that one. All I learned in Japanese class is how to curse at people. *shrug*

I remember for my final my friend and I would test eachother with sentences like "When I was 5-years-old I flew to Japan and I did things like ride a giant chicken with Abraham Lincoln and eat sushi with Jesus while it was raining."

Honto?

"Shine Get!" is nice, but I'm pretty sure it'll be changed. If it was a third party game, it would've stayed that way, but Nintendo won't leave it like that.

Hai



I'm still pissed they changed Orima to Olimar in Pikmin. Orima is Mario backward using kana and changing it totally defeated the aspect of the name.
