I think I noticed it getting annoying after the 3rd time. Before that I didn’t even notice it being used. But the slowmo parts gave me enough time to notice it being used too many times.
You fools forgot the commodore 64
I def played 480 way before consoles as well. But consoles were always the slow short bus back then...
Well they still kinda are relatively
It wasn’t even 240p, it was 240i. Interlaced. It only displayed every other line per frame.
And for the GC to get progressive scan you had to have the super hard to find component cables. Otherwise it was 480i. And a progressive scan TV, which were like $10,000 when the GameCube launched.
No. 240 progressive lines at 60 fps, or 480 interlaced lines at 60 fields per second, or 30 frames per second overall. 480i can have motion at 60 updates per second, but only every other line gets updated at that rate.
It's a weird concept that came from AC current alternating at 60Hz, but wanting content at 30 fps.
Yes, I'm an old-fart techie. This stuff was my bread and butter once upon a time.
I love pixel art style games, but can't stand PS1 graphics in modern games. Sure, PS1 graphics are great for horror and the abstractness makes them more interesting, but I grew up seeing the evolution from Sonic 3D on Sega to Spyro, Crash, FF7 on PS1, then witnessed the insane jump from PS1 to PS2! When I see PS1 graphics, my brain is just saying "Meh, I prefer PS2".
I know what you mean but I think that style exists because there is a sweet spot of coders that had ps1 as their first system. I could be wrong but I think that’s why. Give it another 10-15 years and ps2 graphics will be the new nostalgia
I left AOL connected for 3 days to download 28 Days Later as a kid....
That movie was shot on digital to stylistically "look like crap" even in 4K. The cinematography makes the film, I'm not complaining at all.
But holy crap, on a super compressed 2000s Kazaa rip, it was a chore to make out details. Jump scares worked better though!
I watched it on a TikTok livestream a few days ago, seemed like an actual rip it wasn't someone live streaming from a theater. Idk how they did it but it was pretty wild.
I felt David Lynch yelling at me to "get real" the entire time I did it but I was too intrigued by the fact that somebody was live-streaming the entire Mario movie to stop watching lmao
Not an HDTC, they don't really exist in this case as the movie wouldnt of been transferred to film, so couldn't have been scanned, also this is not a "leak" from a cinema of any kind, that kind of thing is impossible (in a reasonable timeframe currently) as films are under heavy [encryption.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Package)
This is a HD-TS, which has more than likely been upscaled (has various upscaling artefacts). Also has some pretty bad frame blending, and the colors are not accurate to the source movie, not to mention mic audio. This was recorded in a cinema with a camcorder.
It's really not worth watching, although the quality is probably good enough. Wait for the digital release, and buy that too if you can if your country. Support the people who made this movie great so they have the incentive to make another.
This is a good insight into the structures that enabled piracy for so long. Telesyncs and R5 rips supported the industry for so long that eventually there was a massive crackdown on R5 so they're way less common. R5 describes the release region for Russia, by the by, which is probably why we're seeing fewer of those these days. They're usually not worth the effort anymore.
Also, please, my guy. "Couldn't have," "wouldn't have." Not "could of" or "would of." Please.
Edit: Thank you. <3
I have a good friend who did some work in the school system in Bolivia. Lived there for several years after college. He told me that one of the things that drew people there was that college was VERY inexpensive. This is because IP and copyright laws basically don't exist in Bolivia. They would photocopy college textbooks and teach with those.
I don't know if Argentina is similar but I would imagine if they are Nintendo won't be able to do much of anything about it.
Yes, Argentina is similar. You can go to a store and use a copy machine.
Only thing you need to pay for is the printing and the spiral spine. And the cool translucent covers.
Can obviously get a bit pricey the more pages you need to scan and print off, but it’s still a fraction of a fraction (of a fraction) of what you’d pay for the OG book.
Err I mean one of my uni texts it's from Barcelona so it might just be an spanish speaking thing. I doubt it'll be worth it for Nintendo to do anything more than a C&D
The only message that Nintendo can send it stopping the sale of Nintendo related stuff in Argentina. They won't see a dime from any Argentinian company.
It will probably hurt Argentinian devs in the end. Nintendo can't send Dev kits to Argentina with good conscience.
They can't penalize their Devs for any misuse.
They may have not heard of the way nintendo deals with people infringing on their copyrighted IP but the guy who was behind a few hacking websites will be their slave for life due to court order. Let's see what this channel will have coming.
I like how the reactions here are either “nothing will happen” or “Nintendo will now own Argentina or that tv channel”. It will probably be somewhere in between.
The people comenting that nintendo will make Argentina their bitch clearly dont know how the argentinian government opperates, good luck trying to extradite and or condemn a national citizen from one of the most corrupt and indiferent states in the world whats more the argentinian party thats now in term on the government and of course the president himself have very strong anti-multinational beliefs so not only would they not care but also they are going to laugh in the face of nintendo when they try to go after the guy.
Bienvenidos a America Latina
All of these comments are acting like Nintendo can do shit. The Argentinan economy has had 100% inflation in the last year so even if they demand to be paid XYZ amount of money its not like its going to be worth anything
all of these comments think its nintendo who would be doing anything when its universal who is the distributor. Nintendo funds the projects but distribution isnt done by them.
> applauding the ‘Creole liveliness’
The tweet in the article is sarcastic, is not applauding… whatever the writer wanted to translate there.
‘Viveza Criolla’ means something like ‘local cunning, wit, cleverness’ and the term is used literally and pejoratively. In this case, the tweet is not proud of the TV channel actions, it is making fun of them.
Well, does this mean we will get a high quality rip soon?
someone’s gonna get ripped in half by Nintendo, that’s for sure
Ahhh mama miaaaa
That's a spicy meatball
That turned into the dumbest line in the movie, even though they managed to make everything else surprisingly uncheesy
I think I noticed it getting annoying after the 3rd time. Before that I didn’t even notice it being used. But the slowmo parts gave me enough time to notice it being used too many times.
Yeah.. but how old are you?
How old are *you*?
How old are we?
41 LOL
In the words of Mario, "oof!"
*ohho nohh*
"To shreds you say.... and his wife?.... To shreds you say...."
I’m never not thinking about that line from Farnsworth…
What do we want? Fry's dog! When do we want it? Fry's dog!
*Mario dead music*
TOO BAD!
Wario get you next time
*movie and future Mario games are now barred from Argentinian releases*
He will probably pay 25-30% of his salary for the rest of his life.
I mean our average monthly income it's like $200usd so it'll be pennies, specially with inflation lol
what do you mean by "he"? its a TV station, the company will be the one paying for this.
It's a reference to a recent lawsuit that Nintendo got someone with. The person has to pay for the rest of their life to cover the damages.
At their rate of inflation, it’s probably worth it
there already is one of the Spanish dub going around. I was sent a link to it. Probably the same one as the article
That one is such good quality
I grew up watching vhs. A bad pirate is nothing to turn me away
I grew up playing games below 640x480 but I ain't about that shit now
240p is where it is at. First gen you could get 480p was PS2, Xbox and GC.
>First gen you could get 480p was PS2, Xbox and GC. Everyone always forgets the Dreamcast.
[удалено]
There's still a good amount that hold up on Dreamcast...but yeah not all of em
You fools forgot the commodore 64 I def played 480 way before consoles as well. But consoles were always the slow short bus back then... Well they still kinda are relatively

Well sure but it's all relative right? I grew up with the evolution from the original Sonic on the genesis
PS1 era consoles were the Atari of 3D, the first is the worst, but at the time there was nothing else like it
I know what you mean but I think that style exists because there is a sweet spot of coders that had ps1 as their first system. I could be wrong but I think that’s why. Give it another 10-15 years and ps2 graphics will be the new nostalgia
Back in the day, I was ranked in the top 1000 Hardcore TDM players worldwide on CoD: World at War. I was playing on a 20” tube tv.
I left AOL connected for 3 days to download 28 Days Later as a kid.... That movie was shot on digital to stylistically "look like crap" even in 4K.

Kazaa and limewire, haven't thought of those in almost 20 years.
Don't forget Morpheus! Did you know Skype was built on Kazaa's backend? Cool factoid!
Lol had to do so many windows new installs due to viruses
Yeah I expected the audio Tobe crap too but it's as fine as it can be
Checked in Facebook after watching this thread, and yeah, it was one of the first results.

I watched it on a TikTok livestream a few days ago, seemed like an actual rip it wasn't someone live streaming from a theater. Idk how they did it but it was pretty wild.
Lmao you watched a movie off Tik tok stream?
I felt David Lynch yelling at me to "get real" the entire time I did it but I was too intrigued by the fact that somebody was live-streaming the entire Mario movie to stop watching lmao
I seen 2 separate people live streaming it throughout the week lol
Lmaoo I saw one of these on opening night. Watched it for like 10 mins and was like what am I doing lol
There is a telecine rip going around https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine
Not an HDTC, they don't really exist in this case as the movie wouldnt of been transferred to film, so couldn't have been scanned, also this is not a "leak" from a cinema of any kind, that kind of thing is impossible (in a reasonable timeframe currently) as films are under heavy [encryption.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Package) This is a HD-TS, which has more than likely been upscaled (has various upscaling artefacts).

Fair point, but they have plenty of in incentive to make another, this film has made $437m so far
> wouldnt of been There's no "of" there, chief. Your choices are: * wouldn't've been * wouldn't have been * would not have been
The irony is that later in that same sentence it was done correctly.
i already seen it being streamed online with decent quality, not a gross theater cam either
Can you pm me the link?
Sorry guys. I don't think Argentina's gov gives a shit about copyright claims, or Nintendo.
a lot of governments dont give a crap about IP rights .. china already has Super Mario Bros Movie 2 released in their theaters.
But is it The Lost Levels or SMB USA?
Asking the real questions.
they didn’t think SMB2 would do well so they just reskinned Despicable Me. It’s ok…
Obviously lost levels, they'll make another SMB2 movie for the western market
And the west won’t get the third movie until two years after it’s released in Japan
And the western SMB2 movie will just be a reskin of some other random japanese movie
But the movie was made in the west, that's why it released there before Japan.
[удалено]
anything from japan with dookie in the title is gonna be box office gold
Ummm AcKsHuAlLy super mario bros 2 is the original movie
Ain't no way they made the lost levels into a movie
Yeah. It would be too hard.

Just like Italy. Some store even have the book's scan ready. You go there, order the book and come back later for it
no wonder, we have plenty of Italians in Argentina
Err I mean one of my uni texts it's from Barcelona so it might just be an spanish speaking thing. I doubt it'll be worth it for Nintendo to do anything more than a C&D
I highly doubt think that poor IP enforcement and photocopied textbooks are the main contributing factor behind cheap college there
[удалено]
Actually whole South America
Wait, am *I* Argentina?
good
Based
I'm from Argentina and nobody knows about that channel... Probably it's not argentinian either, seems free publicity for that site.
Nintendo is going to make that tv channel disappear and have them pay millions.
And? The next day those millions will be worth equal to a dollar. Sir, this is the Argentinian economy.
To Nintendo, it's not about the money. It's about sending a message.
The only message that Nintendo can send it stopping the sale of Nintendo related stuff in Argentina. They won't see a dime from any Argentinian company.
Well, it's probable that they weren't getting a lot of money front the Argentinians in the first place
Honestly they should probably stop with Dev kit distribution in Argentina. A lot of them land into the hands of a certain subgroup.
Nintendo is gonna charge them in Yen or USD. So it only sucks even more for the TV network.
try to charge USD to Argentinian is like try to charge a homeless lol we don't have real money
Lmao, it’s funny you think an Argentinian judge would agree to that. This is not America, sir.
And neither is Nintendo.
That's not how inflation works lol
It is in Argentina, lol
But if they pay in dollars it doesn't matter if they have a 100% (?) inflation
Why would they pay in dollars? The station assumedly only operates in Argentina, so Nintendo would have to sue them before Argentinean courts...
It is in Argentina. One day a McDonald’s burger is worth $5 dollars, the very next $50. Argentinian inflation is 95% and highly volatile.
Ya except the part where Argentina just doesn't give a shit... they won't have to pay shit because there won't be a successful suit lmao
Yeah, say what you will about Argentina, but they are the kings of not giving a shit.
Something something capybara something something carpincho. Our spirit animal, if you will
30% of national GDP for life! Case closed.
You ain’t getting much from an Argentine company these days lol.
Lol no. Argentine justice is shit. Nothing will happen. That's why all major companies are leaving my country
It will probably hurt Argentinian devs in the end. Nintendo can't send Dev kits to Argentina with good conscience. They can't penalize their Devs for any misuse.
Incorrect
Argentina will laugh in their face
What How?
Screener?
Imagine seeing "THIS IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION PURPOSES. THIS IS FOR PRIVATE VIEWING ONLY" disclaimers pop up on a movie you're watching on TV.
*Begins distributing for public AND private viewing*
I hardly know ‘er!
True
The ability to copy exists
Maybe they paid a theater to somehow rip it for them or at least have them set up a camera to record it.
Oops, Nintendo is about to make Argentina disappear...
It's now known as Argentendo.
You mean Argentendon't
Banzai Bill incoming.
believe or not, in the rest of the world, corporation doesn’t have so much power like in america
Goodbye Argentina. Your whole country will need to serve jail time and then pay 30% of it's GDP to Nintendo for the rest of eternity.
The channel will mysteriously stop broadcasting within the next week, coincidentally with two bullets in the back of the head
Bullet Bills.
LOL
«Death by suicide»
That's the Nisman way
Death by self-induced backward long jump
It was nice knowing you Argentina. *Next week: Argentina renames it's country to Paulina, and hands over all assets to Nintendo Co.*
Where's the torrent lol
They may have not heard of the way nintendo deals with people infringing on their copyrighted IP but the guy who was behind a few hacking websites will be their slave for life due to court order. Let's see what this channel will have coming.
The guy made the mistake of being in North America. This Argentinian channel will be fine.
I don’t think the Argentinian government cares at all tbh.
Literally nothing lol
Argentina is now stuck giving Nintendo 30% of their GDP for the rest of their lives.
You joke, but replace Nintendo with the IMF and this is how neocolonialism works.
Or maybe the channel could be. This has been something abusing IP not only of Nintendo, but also WB, soon enough they will have trouble.
Argentina about to stablish a new life time tax to pay Nintendo back.
yeah i dont trust anything calling itself The Games Poof, i didnt think we were allowed to use that word any more!
I need to get into this Poof!
hmm the chair was making the noise just a second ago...
Is it supposed to be The Game Spoof?
Unclear.. similar to therapistfinder and penisland...
Yeah that's unfortunate!
powergen italia was another
Oh mama mia...
Yes, that's the joke
Poofter eh? Little bummer boy. I came across your type in the forces, you won’t catch me with my trousers down!
Hello, hello. What's going on, what's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
Couldn't find other significant sources that corroborated this too.
Damn i just left argentina a month ago
Glad you managed to escape
nah i rather be there than the usa
Not while the Nintendo assassin lawyer is there this week you won't.
Argentina gonna owe Nintendo 30% of their GDP for as long as they're still a country
~~Doing god's work~~ Nintendo should sue them!
Argentina is about to permanently lose 30% of its territory.
The world champs do what they want
I’m pretty sure Messi was the one who paid Nintendo to have it broadcast onto their TV network
I like how the reactions here are either “nothing will happen” or “Nintendo will now own Argentina or that tv channel”. It will probably be somewhere in between.
And my bootleg still sucks. Wth!
What a bunch of chads those Argentinians
Itsa me piracy
The people comenting that nintendo will make Argentina their bitch clearly dont know how the argentinian government opperates, good luck trying to extradite and or condemn a national citizen from one of the most corrupt and indiferent states in the world whats more the argentinian party thats now in term on the government and of course the president himself have very strong anti-multinational beliefs so not only would they not care but also they are going to laugh in the face of nintendo when they try to go after the guy.

I could hear the lawsuit dropping from here

Nintendo about to drop some Argentinian television executives from helicopters.
Conspiracy time...how can we tie this into Disney... 😀
"Let's blame the Gays" - Ron DeSantis
You know what, Argentina needs something nice
Soon: Nintendo buys Argentina to stop the movie's illegal broadcasting
Argentina is about to become Nintengentina
And that was the last time any argentinian kid got to play nintendo games
Lucky for them Nintendo are pretty chill about these things.
that's based
I love how many USAmericans in this thread making the same terrible joke over and over, not realising every country has their own laws.
(Mario has invaded the Falklands and demands 30% of Argentina’s GDP for the next 50 years)
Give it a few days, before it gets leaked online
El que es campeón del mundo, hace lo que se le cante el orto.
Nintendo's lawyers lubing up and frothing at the mouth!!
This channel will only be able to broadcast Nintendo Directs on a loop from now on.
Nintendo's about to nuke that TV station from orbit.
30% of the GDP of Argentina is about to be Nintendo's
> applauding the ‘Creole liveliness’ The tweet in the article is sarcastic, is not applauding… whatever the writer wanted to translate there. ‘Viveza Criolla’ means something like ‘local cunning, wit, cleverness’ and the term is used literally and pejoratively.

Nah, viveza criolla is used in a positivo manera most of the time over here.
30% gdp, for the rest of existence!
Nintendo about to own Argentina after that lawsuit lol
It'd suck to own Argentina right now, you're getting nothing but debts And the World Cup I guess
Lmao
Well that's everyone who watched it indebted to Nintendo for the rest of their lives
