I know nobody will remember and they'll forever be referred to incorrectly, but the special Zelda - Majora's Mask label isn't a hologram, it is a lenticular image.

Well, we can't forget when you remind us every other year!

(I'm guessing that after the corrections in 2010 and 2011, we wised up, and this is just a preemptive warning?)

Nope, saw it again just minutes ago. Maybe the links to explain how the 2 kinds of images will work this time. :P

I only refer to it as "hologram" on the label to avoid the "what is lenticular?" questions.

...or I just slip up or something. Excuses excuses!

AFAIK the non-lenticular cart is a tad harder to find than the lenticular one. I rarely run across a non-lenticular copy at least.

Does anyone know what I have to do to get approved at neo-geo.com? I think I keep registering but never am contacted by a moderator. I just registered again this minute.

We just got one of these carts a few days ago. It's wrapped in clear packing tape to "protect the holographic label". Yeah...

Checked your Spam folder?

I had a similar thing happen trying to register for RFGeneration, only to find that the confirm emails were being filtered.

I hate gears of war Judgement, it seem very rushed and generic. the story mode was mediocre, and the online game play is trash. I spent 60 dollars on a game, that was half a$$ed.

On another note, I am really enjoying Injustice, AQUA MAN FTW!! :lol:
