THANKS TREEHOUSE
alright everyone lets just not respond
>>341688131
please explain to me do you see in there that has made you so mad
>>341688481
>Five Fun Guys
>Shufflegate
>>341688481
He's retarded, and thinks it's referencing Gamergate.
>>341688578
Most morons on /v/ don't even know what Watergate was.
>>341688481
They're choosing to falsley interpret the paper-thin puns as gamergate references.
>>341688758
are you merely pretending to be a drooling retard of the highest order or it's just your natural ability?
>>341688578
>>341688662
>>341688758
Jesus fuck /v/ is retarded today. Let me spell it out for you drooling dipshits.
>"Five Fun Guys" and "Shufflegate" are mentioned in the same piece of dialogue
>"Five Fun Guys" could be seen as a reference to the Five Guys scandal that was followed by Gamergate
>NoA/Treehouse are huge memers who don't shy away from referencing the most basic internet memes and events, including GG
>therefore it isn't any stretch of imagination to assume that "Shufflegate" was supposed to be a reference to GG
>>341688578
Do you really think that's above the memelords at NoA?
>mfw since 2013's Sticker Star release I've learned to be less jaded and truly liked Color Splash's trailer and will enjoy the shit out of it and there's nothing /v/ can do about it besides shit themselves in agony
>>341690276
Still seems like a stretch. Also who cares?
>>341690541
>Still seems like a stretch.
literally one word off is a stretch?
>>341690276
When your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail
>>341690276
Fun Guys is a word play of Fungus.
>>341688662
You don't even have to know Watergate, since every controversy since then had "-gate" at the end of them for some reason.
>>341690916
and Squirtle is a squirrel turtle
I want to believe that you guys aren't this fucking stupid.
"Fun Guys" is a play on "fungus".
"-gate" is a suffix added to any sort of controversy in the media these days.
>>341690276
They're always out to get me too, leaving little references in everything I look at just to let me know they're still watching.
One day I'll glimpse them, one day.
>>341691113
of course they're this fucking stupid
>>341690541
>a stretch
>about a popular movement pertaining to video games
>that happened a year ago
>being referenced in a video game
It's pretty fucking obvious, matey.
>>341690276
I bet they're baiting. Expect a journalist report similar to this in the neat future.
>Hmm... so, we have a problem.
>(Hard stare at 4chan)
>Apparently a Watergate reference made some manbabies mad enough to send death threats.
>(Shakes head and sighs)
>its a "/v/ gets triggered" episode
>>341688131
tumlrites would run amok if those five guys would actually be referencing the five guys that fucked zoe, slutshaming or what they call it
ITT: Treehouse damage control
>>341690531
sticker star was fun i dont really get what everyones issue with it is
if it was under a brand that was not paper mario nobody would care so much about it
>>341690531
I liked color splash's trailer too and cant wait to pirate the game
>Gamergators in their tinfoil hats thinking anyone still gives a shit about them
Loving every laugh.
>>341692679
Nobody cares. NoA is just behind the times as usual.
It's not a Gamergate reference.
/thread, lets move on people.
>>341692679
talk some more about how you don't care
Lol internet war XDD
Grow up you fucking faggots.
>>341690531
2012, actually.
>Paper Mario has not been a classic RPG for 3 games straight
>A series initially christened SMRPG2
>Everyone sapient hates the last game in the series
>Let's not wait for feedback, start another immediately just like that one
You people must be bluffing. This is pretty blatent, I mean we've already seen worse from Treehouse, I wouldn't be surprised.
>>341693345
Paper Mario has never been classic style RPG
>A series initially christened SMRPG2
except L&M series is literally SMRPG2, it even is made by the very same staff
>>341693057
How is it not?
I don't care about muh references but are people here just this fucking new? This is clearly a reference to GG.
It's clear to me that this Treehouse has no oversight.
First, they hire a prostitute as their publicist.
Secondly, there was that guy who lost his job for leaking inside information about Nintendo.
And now they're REFERENCING a prostitute cheating on her boyfriend with five men in a children's game?
Are there any references to Monica's semen stained dress in The Thousand Year Door?
There is something seriously retarded going on over at the Treehouse and management needs to get its house in order before one of these idiots renames one of the characters to Dick Cheese or something.
Clearly GG and a fuck you to true gamers
>>341693610
>>341693709
>>341691113
There's five of them though.
Five men fucked Zoe in Gamergate.
Why are you deliberately playing dumb? It's so OBVIOUSLY a reference.
>>341693565
Really? I was pretty sure mario rpg was made by Square.
Also, paper mario preceeded mario & luigi by a few years, and was defenitely the first game like mario rpg released since mario rpg.
>>341691983
>A year ago
2. We're 2 months short of the 2 year anniversary of the start of GG.
>>341693565
Alphadream was founded by an ex square president. It's hardly "the very same staff" who made mario rpg.
I wait for wigmans response
>>341691169
You serious or just baiting? It's a very obvious reference. You have to be literally retarded to deny it.
OP's paranoia aside the attempt at hip" dialogue is really cringeworthy. I've seen so far...
>Laters
>OH SNAP
>Welp
>Protip
>>341688131
>Fungus pun because they're mushrooms
>Watergate
>b-but muh gamergate
Neo-/v/
why are gators so mad at the mere mention of GG when they say it's over
>Last F-Zero game
October 11th, 2004
>Last Paper Mario game
July 22nd, 2004
Yet Paper Mario fans are called entitled, despite getting shat on harder than F-Zero, Metroid, and Mega Man combined.
>>341694002
>I was pretty sure mario rpg was made by Square.
and where do you think all these people from Square went to?
Monolith, Genius Sonority, Grezzo and Alphadream -- who just happens to make L&M + Shimomura who continues to write music
>>341691113
>>341691216
You have to be mentally deficient to deny it being a reference
>Five
>Five guys
>Five (fun) guys
A mere (((coincidence))), right?
>>341694441
Paper Jam counts, whether you admit to it or not.
>>341694441
>Last Paper Mario game
November 11, 2012
Fixed :^)
>>341694552
You said it was made by the very same staff. The most I can find is the founder of alphadream came from square, and they started mario & luigi.
You are passing it off like it was the exact same team, that's not true.
reminder that this thread is treehouse damage control
>>341691113
If you're trying to convince other people this isn't related so we can ignore it, good for you. But it very clearly is a reference.
"Ruin his career?" What else could that be nodding at?
>>341694574
every time a game had 5 guys on the screen it was a reference
>>341694612
It's Mario and Luigi, not Paper Mario. You're saying the equivalent of Mario Maker being a Mario Kart spinoff because you can play as Mario Kart in it.
>>341690541
>seems like a stretch
Seriously? Nintendo is well known for adding memes, especially ones insulting their criticizing fan base (Like the animal crossing one where a character is complaining about dubbing in localization)
Honestly, what's more likely, a reference to watergate, or a reference to a scandal that involved video games, in a game where the localization team are huge social justice retards who can't go a game without shoving their ideals into the dubbing?
>>341694441
>Last Kid Icarus game
November 5, 1991
>>341694693
Not it isn't. TTYD released in 2004. No other Paper Mario game has been released since. We just keep getting "stylized NSMB" instead of Paper Mario.

that's my birthday
what do 5 mushrooms bouncing around have to do with nixon administration organizing a robbery?
as a history lesson, some slut had 5 mushrooms bouncing around in her in exchange for free publicity for her game, some people found out and made it the "five guys" scandal, and a bunch of """"""journalists"""""" put out hit pieces all at the same time about how "gamers" are evil misogynists, which is where gamergate came from
>>341694813
Gee, I wonder what popular figure had their career and reputation ruined by a -gate scandle
Are people seriously denying that this is a reference?
Were you not around when GG went down?
The Treehouse doesn't exist in a bubble - everyone knows about Zoe Quinn fucking five guys.
I wonder what the original Japanese text is.
![zelda-triforce-heroes-doge-such-ruin[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/B1Y57HX.jpg "zelda-triforce-heroes-doge-such-ruin[1].jpg")
>>341694858
>I was only pretending to be retarded
It's literally only one word off from the Five Guys scandal. Don't be fucking ridiculous. It's like denying that Triforce Heroes has memes in it, just because the in game text is """only""" similar to normie memes.
>>341695128
Why did he bring up -gate anything after mentioning 5 guys? Is there a line about "Deepthroat" or a Nintendo equivalent OP glazed over? Otherwise you're full of shit, broseph.
>>341694721
SMRPG
Director(s) Yoshihiko Maekawa
Chihiro Fujioka
both were employees of Alphadream and worked on L&M
Writer(s) Kensuke Tanabe
Tanabe is obviously still at Nintendo
Composer(s) Yoko Shimomura
Shimomura continues to write music for L&M
If the scandal was about Peach fucking all these guys behind Mario's back you might have had something.
But they're literally just playing rigged three card monte.
>mfw gamer gate was the closest time these people came to being relevant and now they cant let it go
>>341695397
>Kensuke Tanabe
screenplay advisor from mario rpg, didn't touch a mario and luigi game until paper jam.
This is hardly "The very same staff"
If you can't understand why people saw paper mario, 3 years earlier than m&l, as a successor to mario rpg, I can't help you.
>>341693610
youre grasping at straws bro
>>341695614
>mfw zoe quinn slept her way to the top of the indie scene and got BTFO
>>341695578
Believe what you want.
Pretend that Nintendo doesn't put memes in their game.
The rest of us are content in knowing how fucking naive you are.
>tards on /v/ falling prey to obvious "nah it's watergate" bait
For shame
>>341695672
I literally show you that BOTH directors of SMRPG AND main composer AND script writer whose current position is to maintain relations with partner companies (which exactly what AlphaDream is) were/are all working on M&L
These are literally four THE most important and decision making people who basically made the game what it is
should i be looking for info on janitors who were there in Square building?
come on, why are you so stubborn for no reason
>>341690276
Well we'll have to wait and see what the Jap text is and if the translation is remotely close to it.
Also here's the video for any of you faggots that wants to check it out yourself. 20:40

>>341696448
The all plain toads shit just baffles me more and more
What went on behind the scenes to lead to such a decision? I makes no sense no matter how I think about it.
>>341696448
> fungi
> fun guys
it's pun based on english languages
of course it's not gonna be the same
but you already knew that my little friend did you
>>341696747
>why are toads who are cups in a shuffle game identical?
use your brain for a change
>>341696895
When I said ALL plain toads, I meant ALL plain toads.
Not those 5. Hell those are the only ones it makes sense for
>>341688578
>>341688662
>>341688758
it's more likely just a reference to any type of scandal having a "gate" suffix added but I don't know why you guys are pretending it's out of the realm of possibility. The "five fun guys" could easily be a reference to the five guys scandal.
>>341697446
There's 5 toads, and they're the "fun guys" because THEY'RE FUCKING FUNGI
FUN GUY
FUNGI
THEY ARE MUSHROOM MEN
Boy am I glad I grew out of playing Nintendo games
>>341697616
>posts nintendo game
yeah sure buddy
>>341697726
>megaman
>nintendo
>>341697824
That's a screenshot from smash brothers 4, dingus
>>341697596
Sorry I didn't know that references to past events and double entendres were mutually exclusive. You're being straight up fucking dense right now.
I'm playing my first Paper Mario (Sticker Star) and it feels like a bad rip-off of Mario and Luigi.
I don't get where all the praise for the series comes from
>>341697596
I'm sure this has nothing to do with NoA's obsession with puns, get out of here.
>>341698005
>"references to past events"
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT GAMER GATE
NOBODY
>>341698150
you seem to an awful lot
>>341697146
except even on OP's shitty bait picture there are more than plain toads
>>341698318
How? What gives you that impression? I'm the one claiming this ISN'T a reference. Because it fucking isn't.
>>341696174
What are we supposed to do? If we react and get angry the SJW's get to play the victim. That only makes them stronger.
>>341698150
>"nobody cares!"
>he screams while Zoe Quinn gives speeches at the UN on cyber harassment.
Just because you want something to be true, doesn't make it so. Gamergate was a mainstream event they even made a fucking Law and Order episode "based" on it.
>>341697920
no its the new megaman
>>341698428
>Because I don't want it to be
ftfy. I'm not even saying it is, I'm just saying that it's POSSIBLE. You're acting like a 12 year old 2bh lad
>>341690276
>>"Five Fun Guys" could be seen as a reference to the Five Guys scandal that was followed by Gamergate
are you literally retarded
five fun guys
fivefunguys
fivefungi
FUNGIS
Take your medicine
>>341698685
there is no new megaman
>>341698380
I consider recolors plain too, but its a step in the right direction.
I mean fuck, cant you at least give them different idle poses and expressions?
>>341698918
>5 fun guys
>immediately followed by "shuffleGATE"
Are you literally retarded? Fungis doubles as a pun, and mentioning gamergate
>B-BUT MUH NINTENDO WOULD NEVER ADD STUFF LIKE THAT TO THE LOCALIZED GAMES
They mocked people insulting their dubs in animal crossing, they love doing this kind of shit
>>341688131
>>341698927
shut up
>>341698918
see >>341698005
you're arguing that it can't be a triple entendre because it's a double entendre. Do you even realize how retarded you sound right now?
>>341699042
It's deeper than that.
>Game still thinks finding Toads = Gameplay
>Every time you save one of the little freaks they crack some retarded joke about being crumpled or how useless they are
