Africa allows you to experience a very interesting part of the world, a safari in the plains of Africa. The gameplay is entirely non-violent. You don't kill the animals. It emphasizes the positives rather than the negatives.
Then they can release them all again with yoshi or wario (man i bet that took hundreds of [possibly dyslexic] man hours to come up with).
Fun Fact: Wario is actually a portmanteau, not an inversion of Mario. Warui is a japanese word that means 'evil,' hence why you don't need a cyrillic keyboard to type Luigi's nemesis, Waluigi.
Also, where did you get your SNES and GB games from? I'd kill for a mario text adventure.
>get fireflower
You consume the fire flower. An overwhelming calm ripples through your body.
>burn toad alive
You launch a small ball of fire from your left nostril. Toad is instantly incinerated due to the poor quality of his peasant clothing. The smell of roasted portabellos wafts pleasantly through the air.
I live in Maine and have spent a bit of time at numerous schools involved with MLTI (workshops and things like that), and I can honestly say that these kids don't need MacBooks. All they're using them for is word processing and internet research. The state shouldn't have to pay X amount more per student just to have the newest technology when something considerably cheaper gets the job done. The real purpose of the program is just to get middle-schoolers comfortable in a computer environment (keep in mind Maine is a very poor state and most families don't have a home computer).... not only in terms of skill-sets, but also psychologically. I've met people in their 20s who were scared to death computers just due to limited exposure. Putting a reliable, cheap machine like an iBook into their hands and letting them learn with the same machine over a number of years is the strength of the program.
After Effects, hands down. It's worth every penny.
I could ramble on about how I've been an professional animator for years and how AE has ever feature an animator could ask for, but the bottom line is this: if you're outputting to video, read up on After Effects.
I think the definition of 'ripping off' is up for debate.
Innovating: "Hey, what about motion-sensing control? I think Atari may have done something like that a long time ago, but it didn't work that well... what if we built off of that and added spatial sensors as well?"
Rip-off: "Our main competitor just dropped their trump card! We need to get a similar feature ASAP to show that we're still in the game!"
In my opinion, just because a musical composition uses counterpoint doesn't mean it's ripping off Bach. The argument that Nintendo is ripping off a 20-year-old controller from Atari that had a single similar feature is is like saying that Nintendo ripped off Atari by developing a console... they're both devices that hook up to your TV and play games.

The Le Stick just had mercury filled sensors which activated when you tilted it.
So, I suppose Nintendo's innovation on the controller is making it so it doesn't slowly kill you everytime you use it.
