Welcome back!

We haven't really been doing that much since you were gone. I've basically just been adding artwork to pages, and we've unfortunately still been getting a lot of spam. I hope that you got your laptop fixed. --Torchickens 19:25, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

Nice! Yeah I know that feeling, sometimes its best to just get something new. I remember when my old laptop broke, it started with a problem with the battery in which as soon as you took the charger out, the laptop went flat :/. Apparently, the battery itself had broken (my fault for leaving the charger in) but then another problem occurred in which the whole screen seemed to 'burn in', so I left it because paying for repairs would have probably cost a considerable amount for a laptop that was probably going to die in a few years.

Also, wow! That's really surprisingly, we aren't too far from Strategy Wiki, (though that would be a really large push) but a lot of that is probably all the artwork that needed to be uploaded for the Game Boy Advance games. Hooray for Starfy Wiki!! It's really sad Lylat Wiki only has 0.03% of all activity now though... --Torchickens 19:48, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

F-Zero Wiki icon

Hi Starphoria. Do you (or other F-Zero Wiki staff) have any preferences for the F-Zero Wiki icon on the NIWA Template? I decided to add the favicon of Captain Falcon's face because it was the first one that I could immediately find. I realise that there is an alternative icon which is a yellow version of the F-Zero logo from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which one do you prefer? --Torchickens 17:21, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

All right then. --Torchickens 11:42, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Thanks again

I just wanted to thank you for leaving everyone the message while I was absent yesterday. If you'd like, we can meet up on IRC today via Gamesurge (assuming that it works for you, see my reply here) and discuss things there. If it doesn't, maybe we could discuss things via Twitter, if that's OK with you? In reply to your question, The Forgotten Beast (Talk) said that he wouldn't be as active because he needs to work on Toriko Wiki. He seems to be currently active on Toriko Wiki right now. I'll send him a message. --Torchickens 06:40, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

All right, I've sent him a message on Toriko Wiki. --Torchickens 07:21, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

IRC

Yo Starphoria, I'm in the IRC to begin discussions. -The Forgotten Beast 16:17, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Meeting time(s)

I can pretty much come at any day. As for time, I have access to a computer between 10:00PM and 7:00AM. (Eastern time, North America) Yeah, I'm a bit of a night owl. Hope that won't be a problem. Star Light 23:40, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Re: Saturday/To-Do List

Thanks for updating the featured article and poll! Occasionally, you'll find the original Game Boy Advance games on eBay. Here is currently a copy of Densetsu no Starfy 2 going for cheap. See also, some listings for Densetsu no Starfy and Densetsu no Starfy 3.

If they don't appear, then I can recommend a good website which currently has complete copies of Densetsu no Starfy and Densetsu no Starfy 3 in stock, called Solaris Japan.

The To-Do list looks good. Following our discussions on the IRC Chat on 19th March 2012, I've now sent a message to you and others via the NIWA forums listing all of the things we want to do for Densetsu no Starfy's 10th anniversary. I've elaborated on them to clarify what we want to do. --Torchickens 15:31, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

My Account

Delete it plz. THEAVENGINGBANDIT 19:02, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Done. --Starphoria ^(C·E) 19:07, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

RE: Skype

Hi Starphoria (Talk). I'm now online on Skype. I'm ready to discuss things when you are. My motivation to do things has gone for some reason :(. --Torchickens 10:34, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Sure. --Torchickens 09:41, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

RE: IRC

Sorry for the late reply, but the only time I would probably be available is during the weekend at best and even then I may still not be on since I'm kind of busy with college at the moment. Kagegamer12 11:58, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

RE: A couple of things

I support this. It would be a more effective way to spread traffic to our affiliates, since you currently have to click on 'Affiliates' in the sidebar in order to see them. I don't think it wouldn't harm to keep "NIWA Wikis" on the sidebar, as we don't have too many non-NIWA affiliates so you don't have to scroll down much more.

Thanks for telling me about my talk page. I'll make an archive for it now, as it is starting to become quite large. --Torchickens 19:57, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

Re: To-Do List

Awesome, thanks a bunch! That would be helpful. :) I didn't actually make a to-do list for disambiguation pages, but I made a list of The Legendary Starfy soundtrack that you can find here. Basically, we need disambiguation pages for all the music which shares the same name as stages, minigames and options. For the others which don't or currently don't have multiple articles, we can redirect the main article to the music article (e.g. Mashtooth's Theme -> Mashtooth's Theme (song). --Torchickens 09:15, 25 April 2012 (CDT)

Re: Check User

Good to hear. Will do then! --Torchickens 16:30, 29 April 2012 (CDT)

Re: Inactivity

Understood. No worries. I'm also inactive due to a 2500 word assignment I need to hand in for my Social Policy course, as well as an upcoming exam (26/05/12). It normally takes me a long time to write them, due to pressure on collecting academic references, among other things. I know if I spared time away from it, then I wouldn't be able to adequately get it done. Hope to hear from you again soon! --Torchickens 19:14, 4 May 2012 (CDT)

Odd coincidence! Well I'll leave you a happy birthday message on your talk page for that date. Hopefully it won't be late... =) --Torchickens 17:07, 10 May 2012 (CDT)

(Late) Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Starphoria!
	May you have many more birthdays ahead!

Happy birthday Starphoria (Talk)! I'm sorry it was two days late. My exam also went all right. I've broke up now, so I should be available on Skype if you need me. --Torchickens 07:14, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

The Forgotten Beast (Talk) asked me to leave you a message

Hi Starphoria (Talk). The Forgotten Beast asked me to inform you that he won't be active on NIWA or Skype until an unknown date due to his computers having not worked for weeks. I understand that you might not be active here. Please let me know if you receive this message if possible. Thanks. --Torchickens 08:41, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

Re: Re:

It's all right Starphoria (Talk). Please don't feel bad about it, real life and your own well-being takes priority over editing. I hope you have a nice Summer. ☼ --Torchickens 11:02, 29 May 2012 (CDT)

Welcome back! --Torchickens 10:53, 5 June 2012 (CDT)

I agree it's a bit disappointing. I couldn't go to E3 as I don't live in North America, but from the content I saw on the official site and other sources this years E3 doesn't seem as exciting as some of the last E3s, for instance E3 2010 revealed generally a broader range of Nintendo titles, such as Metroid: Other M, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns. There are a few Nintendo published franchises which I'm excited about, but unfortunately perhaps not many that will last long. Project P-100 looks great, I haven't played any of Platinum Games/Clover Studio as it branched off from's other works, but I can see why people are comparing it to games like Viewtiful Joe.

Pikmin 3 looks cool. I haven't played Pikmin 2, or actually ever beat the first Pikmin game, but Pikmin 3 looks like that kind of game that'll be enjoyable without playing any of the previous other games. Its also going to be a launch title I've heard, which is good. Nintendo revealed that Olimar was missing, possibly meaning that his role has changed in game or you have to rescue him this time. Nintendo Land and Game & Wario look interesting, but made me think of Wii Play, which was little more than a compilation of minigames which were great but didn't last very long. Nintendo revealed during the post-E3 round-table that the minigames in Nintendo Land are going to be substantial, but I'm not particularly sure how long they'll remain enjoyable with only 12 revealed minigames. Seeing Takamaru from Mysterious Murasame Castle starring in his own minigame was an interesting surprise, maybe we might see him in a new 3DS or Wii U installment in the near future? I'd personally like to see him and/or the Sablé Prince from For the Frog the Bell Tolls in SSB4 as one of the swordsman along with Magnus.

There's some core upcoming third-party titles, meaning that there's probably going to be a lot to offer between those games, although I've never been interested in the first-person shooter genre, so at the moment the Wii U doesn't really suit me other than what was offered for the actual console. ZombiU looks interesting, so there might be a small chance that I'll play it, but other than that the only games that caught my attention were Rayman Legends and Scribblenauts Unlimited.

There is still going to be another session later today focusing on Nintendo 3DS games, so this is the best chance we'll see some great new Nintendo games (crosses fingers for F-Zero) and perhaps a new Starfy game as unlikely as it might seem. Since The Legendary Starfy was shown at E3 2009 I guess it's possible! --Torchickens 07:08, 6 June 2012 (CDT)

Yeah, Project P-100 will be published by Nintendo. The name of it kind of reminded me of the cancelled game Project Hammer, but it might be a coincidence. In the case of second-party games I often like to see games by a familiar publisher because you get the feeling that the game will be directed in a similar way to style that you're familiar with, and then it's also rather interesting to see how the game is presented. When Robopon was localized by Atlus, it was only released in the Sun version, meaning that you couldn't get all the Robopon without cheating, and the localisation generally wasn't particularly good. Not that I can blame Atlus, as they're a cool company and their largest franchise Shin Megami Tensei is supposedly great, but there didn't seem to be much attention in promoting that game.

I'm looking forward to seeing the kind of gameplay NintendoLand has to offer, but I'm kind of worried that the game won't last that long, then again I bet it'd be fun if the minigames are fun enough and there's a good incentive for getting a highscore! I think it would be great to see something like a trophy or sticker collection of Nintendo characters á-la Super Smash Bros. and Kid Icarus: Uprising, where more than 12 Nintendo characters appear. One thing I noticed is that all the minigames are based on strictly Nintendo developed franchises, and there isn't something like a Kirby or Pokémon minigame. With all of the icons revealed it's a shame. I thought Samus' helmet was a fishing bobber at first as I was looking at it wrong, so I was originally thinking that a series like Shigesoi Itoi's Bass Fishing was coming back o_o.

As for Scribblenauts Unlimited, in Super Scribblenauts I sometimes ended up writing crazy stuff without knowing how to properly solve the puzzle... Perhaps a few of those problems could be addressed. I like how Scribblenauts Unlimited game now takes part in one huge world rather than multiple stages, but I'm not particularly that interesting in learning about Maxwell's story. In Super Scribblenauts there was a puzzle where you had to put three items in empty spaces, and I originally couldn't work out any three (four?) items that would solve all solutions, so then I just typed 'Cannibal Immortal Gate' to break the other gates that were blocking Maxwell from getting the Starite and for some reason it worked. xD

Anyway, it's nice to know you have a lot of relatives to treat you to new Wii U/Nintendo 3DS games at Christmas. Unfortunately we're not in that much of a good financial situation at the moment. My mother went on a three-year nursing course and has now almost finished, but regrettably my father passed away two years ago from now. I'm having to learn to be more independent, as I have a mild case of social anxiety at times. --Torchickens 18:48, 6 June 2012 (CDT)
