One of my goals in life is to direct a traditionally animated Mario movie. 2D all the way, man! ;D

Well Starfy is expected to be released next month in NA, and IGN just got some new info/art of 3 of the main charcters. StarfyHe's the famous, golden-hearted prince of the Kingdom of Pufftop. He might look cute, but Starfy is a courageous, bad-guy-bashin' hero!  BunstonThis mysterious, furry fellow in a space suit kicks off the adventure by falling through Starfy's roof.  StarlyStarfy's super-tough kid sister. They may look alike, but Starly's got her own set of superstar moves. |

Because maybe they like changing names sometimes? It's a lot more American as Bunston, really.

Bunston is known as Rampa in Japan. I have no idea why NoA changed his name. You wonder that NoA or NoE change names? Especially in those "less serious" games, they LOVE to change names, even if the original names are already related to Western terms. Example: Aldente (Wario: MoD) was changed to "Count Cannoli." I wonder why you wonder.  |

I recently heard from NessEggman at GameFAQs that "You can get extra Club Nintendo coins if you go now and say you're planning to buy this game  just buy it and register it within a week of release or whatever and you'll get the bonus."

I wonder why you wonder. I guess "Rampa" sounds a little odd, just like "Stapy" and "Kyorosuke". I've never heard of "Bunston", but it made "Bunsen Honeydew" pop up in my mind. Also it confirms that Starfy's bivalve/clam friend is going to be called Moe. I already mentioned it on top of page 4. |

Uh, yeah. They've been doing that with all 1st and 2nd party Nintendo games. |

Kinda fitting, reminds me of the bully guy from Calvin and Hobbes. Is this something wrong? I was just trying to figure out the reason why NoA changed it. I believe it's most likely the same reason Tomato of Starmen.Net wanted to rename most enemies in Tomato Adventure while translating it, because their names sound annoying in his opinion. The name "Moe" reminds me of Moe Howard from The Three Stooges. They are both smart, while they often fuss. |

It's called LOCALIZATION, Parrot. It happens when a product made in one country is released in another country.  |

Well, then they decided NOT to localize it. They thought the names were fine as it is. Geeze, Parrot. For a guy with such a high IQ, you really lack common sense. Then again, this guy didn't have common sense either, so what the hell am I saying? |

Uh, yeah. They've been doing that with all 1st and 2nd party Nintendo games. I'm sorry, but it's just that I am having a tough time in college. The text books in one class aren't user-friendly enough for me to understand. Well, then they decided NOT to localize it. They thought the names were fine as it is. Geeze, Parrot. For a guy with such a high IQ, you really lack common sense. Then again, this guy didn't have common sense either, so what the hell am I saying? I got confused. I thought "localize" means "To translate and bring something from one region to another." For changing names, looks and words, I thought they were called "edits". I was expecting the Albert Einstein image to be the one where he sticks his tongue out, which I don't think it looks comfortable to look at, and neither it did to him. |
