Yeah, everybody knew that about Tom Nook, but there are so many... I just can't list them all, like on the Arcade Machine, theres Mario and Luigi, and stuff...

 

[Micah]

I knew most of these. Had Jeremiah and Appolo in my town.

I'll post some others later that I know of.

 

[Grawr]

I knew about the Jefferson-Museum thing. But the rest of this is news to me.

 

[Kyle]

Oh yeah, the water demon I am talking about of Kapp'n is a Kappa.
See the name simalarities?

 

[Grawr]

Kappa eh? Is it just a sort of fable animal like the Loch Ness Monster and Big Foot? If I pop the name "Kappa" into the google Image search would I get anything?

 

[Kyle]

Don't know, but I've seen a drawing, I'll put one up tommorow.

 

[Grawr]

Don't know, but I've seen a drawing, I'll put one up tommorow.

I'll try the image search, and I'll post whatever I get (as long as it's appropriate. You never know with Google Images)

Tipper the cow is a reference to tiiping cows and her catchphrase is "pushy"

 

[IslandGuy]

cool...Apollo refers to the Greek god of light and music...notice the certain items he has?

Tank refers to tbt Tank war.


He memorizes those sfx.

 

[Kyle]

Your wrong on all counts DS_MARKER.... I think.

Apollo is based on NASA Space missions.

And Tank isn't based on TBT Tank War...... its based on a army Tank.... caused they are supposedly like rhinos.

You are correct, on both counts, but the Apollo missions came from the Greek god Apollo. Thus he is correct.

Second, Tank is named after a tank...The Rhino Tank, to be exact.







Finally school does something fer me!

1.Yes and the word is Greek and it is the name of the Greek god of light and music......NASA gets most of its names from Mythology. Mostly Greek and Greco-Roman.


2. I guess I shoul've added an extra smiley..'twas a joke. Why would Nintendo name a character after some game from a forum? Tanks are like rhinos but to me, they seem more scorpion-like.

At least you put in "I think" that really saved you


:lol:
