What’s Up With Itoi

Yup, two caps. Ness is behind the ghost, his backpack is being worn by the guy at the bottom by the Mr. Saturn, and Buzz Buzz is on the uppermost palm tree.

Thanks for linking to PK Bloggin’! 🙂
On a more relevant note, that Giant Mr. Saturn looks awesome in the office, and is almost making me consider spending the money for one. Almost.

Why is the picture called flyinghippo-1?
 | Vinny said on Jan. 24, 2010 |
I always ask this but never get an answer: what does Itoi do, exactly? I know he makes a game occasionally, but other than that?

Darn you Pigmask Private 😐 I thought I could name them all first. I’m a bit late…

Itoi’s main gig is writing copy, but he’s pretty much a renaissance man, and does a lot of other things in addition. He makes video games, writes books and essays, records voiceovers, and so forth.

More Mr. Saturns means more Mother, perhaps Mother 4?
 | Axl-fox said on Jan. 24, 2010 |
@Mother 4: I highly doubt it

That type of thinking will set you up for major disappointment.

That M3 Deluxe Box deal doesn’t seem so great, it looks like it’s just the GBM.
It says “Game Body = A”, but I’m guessing they meant “Game Boy = A”, since later it says the game is not “incould”.

^True, buyer beware. I lol’d at “Flanklin Badge” though

:O Is Itoi planning on going to the olympics? If so I will meet him, oh yes, I will meet him..
 | missy said on Jan. 28, 2010 |
the Mr. Saturns are making my suspicious
but it’s probably nothing.

- Esper: Dammit I’d prefer the new one if the “set” didn’t such blow into the mic. Love the official Lucas voice though!
- Earthbounder: Wonder if their is a way to use the alt english translation with this voice patch
- game4brains: @Franklin Badger I would’ve guessed chocolate labradoodle.
- Matt: Lucas has an english voice actor in Smash Bros.? Why, when they still use the original JP voice clips for Ness?
I found 2 caps >_>
