Bi-Megatons: Corocoro Release and Captain Olimar

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - The first useful Sakurai update.

So the original plan at KoopaTV was to have an article every day on DOJO!! updates. Seeing as how Super Smash Bros. 4 isn't Brawl and Sakurai doesn't want to do text updates, that plan never materialized. Until now. MEGATON. CAPTAIN OLIMAR CONFIRMED.

Smash 4 Characters' TV Shows Tier List

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - The entire point is that I won't keep this updated.

So as you all may have seen (or maybe no one did, judging by the view count) in KoopaTV's special July 4th article, I've watched a lot of Super Mario Brothers Super Show episodes, since all of those screenshots were made by yours truly. I've actually watched all of the shows that the currently confirmed Super Smash Bros. 4 characters have had. So why not rank them? Smash 4 provides a unique opportunity because I haven't watched all of the F-Zero anime episodes (because most of them are Japanese only) or any of the many Sonic shows. Smash 4 fits what I've watched PERFECTLY.

Slavery Is Not A Game: The Game!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Conflict mineral activism.

Back in the day, I actually researched conflict minerals. That research actually began with this list of electronics companies — notice how Nintendo is dead last. Here's the gist: These miners/rebels/lawless people over in Congo go around raping and pillaging people, and they fund their violence through so-called "conflict minerals", which are used to build electronics such as Nintendo systems. Now, there's really not much Nintendo can do to control the suppliers of their suppliers, but apparently other companies have taken steps to not use "conflict minerals" and to use the same minerals mined from other places. Still, there has been this campaign to actually boycott Nintendo products over this. Of course, this began when the Wii was smashing sales records, so obviously no one gave a crap about women being raped in Congo.

So Who Was Right With E3's Presentation?

By Ludwig Von Koopa - Not Nintendo.

According to Reggie Fils-Aime of Nintendo of America, "We're always looking for new ways to surprise and delight." True, but this was describing Nintendo's E3 presentation. "But it will be different, and it will be better." Except... it wasn't.

The Zimmerman Trial's Ace Attorneys

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Zimmerman is NOT GUILTY and you know it!

We here at KoopaTV have been following the George Zimmerman trial as it's happened — live — since the whole thing is pretty much public viewing. There is something about highly publicized trials in America. I have no idea if all trials are like this and we just don't know about it, or these are just hilarious because they're highly publicized. ...Or highly publicized because they're hilarious. It's almost like something out of Capcom's Ace Attorney franchise, actually.

I Never Want To Change A Disc Again.

BY RAWKHAWK2010 - Rawk wants off the Disco Train.

So I was lying in my bed at 3:00 or so last night, engaged in a hopeless battle against sleep. (Which I lost. Because it was hopeless.)

Letting fate have its way, I reached for my Wii U Gamepad so I could spend a few minutes checking up on Miiverse's resident Mario-worshipping weirdos. But when it turned out they weren't doing anything interesting (as usual), I moved on to the Super Metroid community and, despite Metroid fans being JUST AS BAD, I kind of wanted to play it. So I did.

Super Mario Brothers Blasting Off

 By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Happy Independence...?

So I wanted to make a video of this where I dubbed over the whole Team Rocket motto song and all, but then I realized that despite my brilliant voice-acting capabilities, I can't do a good Captain Lou Albano. So I'm doing this instead. Read the voices in your head or something, what do you expect from me?

Who Ludwig is Voting For in Character Battle IX (Round 1)

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Remember to vote every 12 hours!

GameFAQs hasn't hosted a Poll Of The Day Contest since 2011 with the horrible Rivalry Rumble. Now they're going back to hosting a real Character Contest! Awesome! So I'm going to tell you who I'm voting for, and you're encouraged to vote exactly the same way. Only the top one of the threepack move on. If you need to know who these characters are, look here. The first match is on July 9 at 12 AM Eastern, or July 8 at 9 PM Pacific. Then every 12 hours, a new match will happen! Look on the front page at http://www.gamefaqs.com/ for the poll.

Meanie Miiverse Moderation *Update 7/3/13*

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Heavy-handed.

Well, I foreshadowed that I'd write about this topic back in KoopaTV's second-ever article. So I actually have examples now. Somehow, despite being moderated by Miiverse-Admin a total of six times now, I still haven't been banned/suspended yet. ...Perhaps I should stop being bad while the going is good, but then again, look at what I've been moderated for!

KoopaTV's June Retrospection

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - What, you thought these were a one-time deal?

KoopaTV is steadily growing. That's good! I'm proud of myself! Or... of everyone. So as I said in the May version of this, E3 is the time for the biggest news of the year, and that was reflected in our mondo-live coverages of all the big E3 conferences that happened. It's almost hard to imagine it, but that was only what, three weeks ago? Hey, forty-nine weeks until the next E3, right?

So that, plus normal events that happen over the course of the year, should give us more than enough article fodder! And unlike at the very beginning of last month, KoopaTV now has a war against Electronic Arts we can write a ton of stuff about. Fun, right?

Speaking of fun, we could use more staffers. Fun staffers. Good writers. Those could be guest-posters, or they could be, y'know, full-blown KoopaTV staff. You could even join our elusive Koopa Keep Blast...!

And besides some great articles over June, five of which I'm about to recommend if you were living under a rock or are new to KoopaTV, we now have the TERMS INDEX! The Terms Index, which you can easily access at any time thanks to its own page labeled "Index" at the top of your screen (next to "Home" and "About"), is a revolutionary and helpful mechanism where you can think, "Hey, in what articles was this topic I'm interested in name-dropped?" and then get the answer to that very query! And since this is the 50th article that KoopaTV will be publishing, this organization method is great for you, the reader. (And a pain for ME to put together since I do it manually.)

So as I said before, here are the top five KoopaTV articles you'd definitely want to read from June (in no particular order):

1. MADDEN CURSE: THE MOVIE!
2. EA at E3 and Dudebro Catering
3. An E3 for Donkey Kong Fans
4. The Best Buy Experience (With Videos!)
5. Jessie Go Jr. Two Trailer

Of course, and this goes without saying, every article is worth reading — nay, EXPERIENCING — on KoopaTV. So enjoy, and look forward to...JULY!

This hasn't been mentioned on KoopaTV yet, but Ludwig is aggressively campaigning over Animal Crossing: New Leaf for KoopaTV, going so far as to name his town after this very website. If you want to visit him without destroying his town, exchange 3DS friend codes! His is 3351-5164-3598.
