(Part 2) KoopaTV's Live Reactions to The Last Of Us's Story!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Nathan Drake has nothing else to do.

Continuing where we left off last time, the [Koopa Keep] AIM Blast is spectating Naughty Dog's supposed gaming masterpiece, The Last Of Us. Here are our reactions to the second third of the game, as seen by the following video. You're free to watch and follow along, of course. I recommend opening another window with the video and watch it that way so you can scroll down this page to read the text. I'm Nintendork 13 13, and RawkHawk is... RawkHawk2010.

(Part 1) KoopaTV's Live Reactions to The Last Of Us's Story!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Pretending this is E3.

Rawk had this novel idea where we at KoopaTV should actually experience games before we talk about them. Since no one should care about the gameplay of Naughty Dog's The Last Of Us, we're watching all the story and cutscenes of the game. Watch and read along, if you wish. I'm Nintendork 13 13, Rawk is RawkHawk2010, and YoshiRider is masteryoshirider. 

Oh, I'm only going to say this once. See the bottom of this article for why we keep referring to Joel, the main character in The Last Of Us,  as "Nathan Drake". It's one of KoopaTV's most classic images.

A Mega Apology, and My Excuse Is Gone

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - I was wrong before.

No, the title doesn't refer to Mega Man. It actually refers to something I wrote in my earlier article, Mega Pokémon Are FANTASTIC!. I still stand by that they're fantastic, but in that article I wrote:

"So to avoid this situation, rather than make knock-offs of old Pokémon and call them new, Game Freak's designers are taking old Pokémon, making them accessible in Kalos, the new region, and then improving upon them! Since these aren't new species, they also shouldn't be taking away from the 100+ new Pokémon quota we're supposed to get every new generation like actual new evolutions would."

(Boss 2) Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!! Strategy Guide!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Chad Joseph just sucker punched your trainer. What a threat.

It's part of Punch-Out!! culture to sit around on the playground exchanging tips to progress further in the game. Because I'm the kid everyone on the playground wants to be around, I'm taking it upon myself to be the definitive source for all things Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!. So there are five bosses in the game, and I'm going to tell you all how to succeed against them. I'll only detail their moves — I don't want to spoil the entire experience for you!

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies IS NOW OUT!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Nintendo 3DS eShop exclusive.

The last time I made an article that was just "go buy this game it's out now" was when EarthBound came out. And I managed to advertise Ace Attorney there too. This time, the long-awaited Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies is out as of 12 PM Eastern time today. Download it for only $30. Rated M for Mature. You don't actually have to be 17 or older to get past the Mature filter on the eShop (Say you were born at any time in 1995). And if you get it within the next two weeks, you get a free costume pack! Thanks, Capcom!

And if you aren't convinced to get the game yet, I'll write a review of it when I'm done. A KoopaTV-exclusive! That's a promise. And when I'm done with it I'll also get Pokémon X. Unless they never fix the game-breaking bug.

Ludwig is too busy playing Dual Destinies to write substantive articles, but he's never too busy to reply to your comments! Comments like, "Hey Ludwig I just got Dual Destinies too!" will be responded to with variations of "Good job!". Do you want your purchasing behaviour positively reinforced? Then comment!


Turns out they DID fix the bug! Read Ludwig's article on that here!

Obamacare Not Like A PlayStation 4?

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Is that a good thing or not?

Those who read KoopaTV last week (and if you haven't, here is your chance) saw TWO articles about Barack Hussein Obama. In the first, he gave free advertising to the Xbox. Microsoft was pleased. In the second, President Obama attacked KoopaTV. Now this week Obama is continuing his rampage by giving free advertising to Sony and the PlayStation 4. Watch this.

I'm Sick of Charizard

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Stay pelted by a mountain of Stealth Rocks!

Back in the day, before competitive battling was really a thing, there were only three fully-evolved starters: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. Blastoise was on the cover of Pokémon Blue, and Charizard was on the cover of Pokémon Red. Poor Venusaur and Pokémon Green were stranded in Japan, unless there was a Japanese kid on your playground (or a bootlegger) who wowed everyone with his weird copy. Rumours flew about the censorship between Japan and America, but that's irrelevant to this article. Besides the games, kids growing up in the 1990s were exposed to the trading card game, where Charizard was the most valued card, and the anime, where Charizard was the most valued member of Ash's team. And it gets worse from there.

Bash Capcom, But Not Capcom USA

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - For an organization that doesn't make games, they're trying their best!

You can proclaim that Capcom in Japan is out-of-touch and mishandles their franchises terribly. And we can find some agreement in that. However, some people, including my KoopaTV colleagues, dump everyone associated with Capcom into one box. Let me give you several reasons why this is a misguided approach. And remember: If (and when, because people do this) people bash Nintendo (of America), they frequently bash it for Nintendo of America's decisions or Nintendo of Japan's. Reggie works with what he's given. Keep that in mind.

(Boss 1) Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!! Strategy Guide!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - It's Go. Something is wrong with him.

It's part of Punch-Out!! culture to sit around on the playground exchanging tips to progress further in the game. Because I'm the kid everyone on the playground wants to be around, I'm taking it upon myself to be the definitive source for all things Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!. So there are five bosses in the game, and I'm going to tell you all how to succeed against them. I'll only detail their moves — I don't want to spoil the entire experience for you!

Obama Attacks KoopaTV

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Twice in a row.

Barack Hussein Obama needs to stop making the news on KoopaTV. We have videogames to write about, but when the president of the United States tries to bring the world against someone (like he did with George Zimmerman), we'll write about it. 'cause it shouldn't be done. Anyway, after our article yesterday and subsequent e-mail to the White House (he hasn't replied yet, but when he does, we'll have an article on it), Obama has made a public statement attacking bloggers. See the Best of Cain counterpart article to this article for the exact quote and video.
