EA's Chance To Defend Their FIFA 15 Actions

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - What is wrong with this company?

KoopaTV is not a fair and balanced website. We strive hard to achieve the integrity of Fox News Channel, but we're just not there yet.

Still, in the spirit of getting both sides of the story, we reached out to Electronic Arts about their continuous snub of Nintendo.

The GayStation 4?

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - If it was up to me, it'd be called the PayStation 4.

In today's news, the crisis at America's borders is reaching an all-time peak in drama; John Kerry is laughed at by Israel; and radical Islamists are persecuting every Christian in Iraq to try and drive them out of the country.

So this article will use valuable space and time to talk about the GayStation 4.

Is that a Luvdisc with no eye? Oh the inhumanity...

Some Swedish retailer called Webhallen is auctioning off this PS4 skin to benefit some cause. Normally I wouldn't care. And this is a normal situation.

It's being auctioned here, if you want it. It's currently being bid at over $2,500, though. Maybe Sony should start selling these things for a thousand dollars.

Are We Too Harsh On Miyamoto?

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - We're not harsh enough.

Last night we were talking about the Paper Mario series in our [Koopa Keep] AIM Blast. Incidentally, today's Super Smash Bros. 4 pictures of the day:

Sakurai has announced a Paper Mario stage... based off of Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

There is another picture right below that one, too.

Well, what do you know! They took some inspiration from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door!

Seriously. That timing is kind of surreal. It's not like we talked about this every day you know!

So our discussion was of course on one of KoopaTV's hated figures, Shigeru Miyamoto. Well, before that, I was talking about how when Super Paper Mario came out, it pretty much broke the community of Nintendo fans in half. Since, you know, everyone back then played the Mario games for the RPGs.

So we had this platformer-RPG hybrid that was clearly so different than Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. And boy, did it cause controversy. Flame wars and such! The community took sides, and there was a lot to talk about. Did the gameplay compare at all? Should Super Paper Mario have really come out on the GameCube like it was supposed to? Were the Pixls a worthy replacement for Mario's partners? How awesome did it feel to play the adventure as King Dad? (About the same awesomeness as playing as him in Super Smash Bros. 4?)

My First Impression of Mario Kart 8 *Updated 8/1/2014*

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Or at least my first impression of playing it.

You should know from the contest KoopaTV is holding, which is still going on and you're encouraged to enter it, that I bought Mario Kart 8.

Well yesterday (Sunday) I finally got the chance to actually play it. Yes, I've been busy! It's not my first time seeing it in person, but... Now it's time to try to like the game.

I immediately got the Koopa Troopa and King Bowser Koopa stamps, since those are the Koopas you start with.

King Bowser Is The Champion Of Smash 3DS!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - You've earned it, King Dad.

There was just the first ever Super Smash Bros. For 3DS tournament at the San Diego Comic Con. The most notable thing about it?

King Dad is amazing.

The Grand Finals was a Bowser vs. Bowser match on Battlefield. Here is the link to the 2nd set of it.

The two players that made it into the Grand Finals both four-stocked their opponents before the grand finals match. Elite opponents like Sheik and Toon Link that would have destroyed Bowser in any other Super Smash Bros. game. But not here.

Here, Bowser reigns supreme.

No items. Bowser only. Battlefield.

From the Bowser vs. Bowser Grand Finals.

Rockstar's Intellectual Property Theft

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - No honour among thieves.

This happened back in October, but we didn't write anything on it because we didn't find it worth talking about we wanted to see how it would end. Well, we still don't know and I have nothing else to write about!

Some rapper named Daz Dillinger sued Rockstar back in October 2013 because they used his music in Grand Theft Auto V without paying him. The same Grand Theft Auto V that won that VGX soundtrack of the year award in 2013. (Which is the same VGX that KoopaTV live-reacted to in one of the worst logs we've ever published.) But that's enough of a paragraph of hyperlinks, let's see a video or something. Relevant part is around 3:20 but the whole thing is amusing if you like watching stoned people do interviews.

Terrorists Playing Online Games

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Be a responsible citizen and report to authorities!

There are a lot of terrorist threats out there right now. Like Hamas, vowing to destroy Israel and all the Jews.

But what if you're an American (which is likely) and you're just sitting here wondering how this affects you? Well, what if you're just playing videogames... and they are safehousing and recuiting domestic terrorists? We already know that's happening, according to the NSA.

Note I said domestic. That means they'll strike in America. Or they're just your run-of-the-mill criminal psychopath, but terrorist sounds like a much meaner threat to get your attention, doesn't it?

KoopaTV's Contact Info

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Comments sections aren't enough for you.

Upon examing many websites, I've come to a conclusion: Good websites have clearly designated "About Us" and "Contact Us" sections.

This Contact Info will no longer be updated as of July 2023, since KoopaTV itself is no longer producing new content.

Due to an uptick of e-mail spam, the e-mail addresses listed below will now not be direct. Humans can still figure it out.

Atari's Pridefest

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - They have nothing to be proud of.

Hey, remember Atari? Well, if you were too young to remember Manuel Noriega from yesterday, you're definitely too young to remember Atari. Well, in their present state, they're a washed up gaming company from forty years ago who had their own line of systems and games like Centipede, Asteroids, and E.T.. They caused that whole videogame crash thing in 1983.

Well, for whatever reason, Atari is still around in some form. The way they got from then to now is a bit complicated, but they are still here. Now they're publishing mobile games and rereleasing those old properties. Well, shallow arcade experiences does seem to fit the whole shallow mobile gaming scene.

However, Atari is finally making new IPs again. So their new project and first original idea in a long time is...

This shit.

According to Atari's press release, it's a gay pride parade simulator. Well... um... I guess that is an original idea, and not just by their standards, but by the industry as a whole. Although, I will say, just because an idea is original doesn't mean it's... good. Let's read on more about this idea, though.
