"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/7886446/ns/technology_and_science-games/t/nintendo-unveils-new-game-boy/#.VK8l1ivF9HV

quote:

...As for the Revolution, Nintendo showed off an early prototype of the console, but it was clear that it was still a work in progress. No date was announced for its release...and officials said they were still pondering color choices for the console, which is smaller than the PlayStation 2. No controller was shown.
Also still unknown: What the console's final name will be. Acknowledging the lack of information, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told the audience, "maybe we can look at this as a form of puzzle game."

What a time to be alive.

the wii u is unironically a good system to buy if your thing is getting hosed up with friends and playing casual 4 player party games, anyone hating on it is probably a super nerd with no friends in the real world

Nintendo's next-generation home console, code-named Revolution, is the size of three stacked DVD cases.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
It'll probably be called the wiiVol-U-tiion, and no controller was mentioned because you'll control everything through the use of three amiibos that you place in various locations in front of some kind of camera device. Nobody knows how it's really supposed to work but I guarantee it'll be wiiVol-U-tiionary.

I was at E3 2005 reporting and using j-school skills

The micro game boys were all tethered to these girls on a line and so you had to like stand there with them while you played this tiny loving game with a microscreen and it sucked

Super Mario Strikers was there and that game was pretty cool though, also that Katamari game was chill

Real talk, I saw this guy (Reginald Fils-Aimé, Chief "Game Chef" of Nintendo in America) at a mall in Cleveland, Ohio back when he was still lording over American Nintendo products like some kind of interracial techno-giant. Somebody had made the mistake of confusing him with NBA's Blake Griffin--going so far as to impose on Mr. Fils-Aimé an autograph. After Fils-Aimé rejected the request, the person shoved the basketball back into his hands and shouted, "No, you sign it boy."

Needless to say, I have a Griffin-autographed basketball now.

Is that a Game & Watch?

"A two-inch screen," Reginald Fils-Aimé says dramatically as he holds the device up to the audience. His gigantic hand only serves to further diminish the size of the toy. "Twenty bytes of memory...a two hertz processor." As he speaks, he stares down various members of the audience with an expression that is both intense and blank. "A game. A watch."

A cameraman zooms in one the device's screen and the jittery feed is projected on the screen behind Reginald Fils-Aimé. Reginald Fils-Aimé proceeds to play a game of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Second Story Two. His humongous fingers mash the two buttons on the device, but he dies several times in a row. He becomes progressively irritated by the Game & Watch, so he says, "We intend to replace every iPhone--every Droid Phone--every goddamn Gameboy...with one of these..."

He holds it up again. "...by Q2 2015."

wii u is actually really good. I'm usually a master-race pc smugperiority person and I havent really owned/played consoles since the N64/PSX era (and only somewhat with ps2/gc/xbox), but i went for a wii u recently and don't regret it one bit. all the games on it right now are a lot of fun and give the kind of giddy-sit-up-close-to-the-tv playing donkey kong till 2am feeling that I used to have with the original DKCs. also lot of good co-op and party games which the PC has a huge lack of.

basically buy a wii u, they're $200 for a whole console which is dirt cheap
