If I bring them, can they be shown?

Excuse me princess but why would you want to show them? They are not anime. In Nintendos dark times like the Gamecube era for example you think they might be in trouble. Then you have to remember they whored out back in the 80s, and the 90s.

Smokie, I think you may have a point. Well, maybe if I could understand a word of that.

As for the cartoons, I can think of two problems. First off, they're really not anime at all (nor are they anime related). More importantly they were aired in the United States and are subject to US copyright law. Unless you hold the rights and have legitimate copies (difficult, seeing as they've never actually been released in a consumer form) we really can't show them.

Are you sure they haven't been released in a legit form? I can remember my anime club having a VHS of some type of zelda cartoon somewhere, and it's definately real.

It doesn't have a place in a video room, and probably not even the bad anime room, but it may have a place in our version of anime hell...

I wasn't very clear so I shall clarify what I mean. Many times in the past I have expressed my worries concerning Nintendos financial situation.

I mean the Gamecube sold poorly in the US and even the N64 was not overly sucessful. So you had to think about the Revolution and if it would be the end of the line for Nintendo, at least their consoles.

You have to admit when you first saw the controller you were worried and then when they hit us with Wii being the name there were riots. While its still early to say for sure it seems the Wii is doing well and the DS has dominated the handheld market.

Still prior to Nintendo shining like some fun inexpensive beacon like they are at the moment you have to think "Damn they have made a shitload of cash over the years."

All those Zelda and Mario cartoons back in the 80s. The Mario Brothers movie. The Wizard. Kraft Mario mac n cheese. The Donkey Kong cartoon. Pokemon which has made over a billion dollars. All of this adds up to sacks with $ on them.

So from being whores with stuff for over 20 years Nintendo should be loaded. Thats even before you factor in their Gameboy money. I'm not talking Advance or Color either. I'm talking bout the gray brick. They sold so damn many of those it ain't funny.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that when you think about it. Nintendo in recent years they have seemed like the little guy but that they to are giants and paved their road to fortune with bad cartoons, Mario macaronni shells, the charred bones of Atari, and a few powergloves.

Zeo I suppose you could show Zelda cartoons in your hotel room and invite some people to watch them with you. Just ask Mike first.

Also who thinks Nintendo will make a neo-Powerglove for the Wii? I think its coming. We all know how they love wacky controlers and the Wii will have more crazy controlers than any system before it.

I've never viewed them as the underdogs, but that might just be me.

A glove would be pretty awesome with the wii. Just thinking about the possibilities is driving me wild! Plus you could have an awesome Narutogame with handseals!

Sorry got slugged by work and was unable to respond.

First off, I go the FULL SET off Amazon, and the other "sampling" DVD was Given away at Ohayo-con, both I believe are published by DiC, so I think they are in a legal consumer form, secondly I'm kinda wondering why they would not be considered anime (considering that they are kinda the same idea as pokemon cartoons)?

Sorry about this, but Nintendo's financial situation has NOTHING to do this... and you really no nothing about it because then you would know that it is about the same as Microsoft's Xbox and much higher than SONY'S Playstation (even though Playstation won that gen in financial respect.)

Nintendo is staying. Yes I am a nintendo geek but I also respect the other systems. I'm correcting your mistake with facts that Nintendo pretty much rules the japanese video game industry and sadly they don't really care for the American industry as much but it keeps them going financially wealthy...

(If you haven't notice the PS3 still sitting on shelves, Sony is looking like sega right now....)

Yeah they had some issues in the past, but anything famous, even playstation did that too. I happen to like the Mario brothers show and the movie was not THAT bad...(could have been A LOT better) but...I happened to love it.

YET...

That Zelda series did bother me and I'd agree that it shouldn't be shown...at least not here. It's not Anime and it's not...*cough, cough*
