I hate Reggie with a vengeance. He looks like a wooden puppet parent trying to chastise their kids for not being worthy of his attention. All the while trying to sell us casual crap.
Agreed. I have it, played it once, gave up.

At the time it was quite a big deal despite its problems, was one of if not the first port of the game. It sold a shedload and certainly pulled Atari's arse off the coals for a while...well, until the abomination that was ET lol. Of course it's not going to be anywhere near as impressive today as it was then but it was great back in the day.
DMight have to dig around for an emulator again and play some of these again on my PSP now I'm thinking about it!

You lack hype for everything.

Shortly, you will see someone playing this in their hands, only it will look even better. What's great is that the voice recognition software will allow you to tell Navi to shut up, and she will suspend all tutorials and hints from that point. You WILL be hyped, even if I have to lend you some of mine

Jesus fucking christ I want that thing in my hands NOW! (The controller AND the game)
true dat.
The promo shots of the Wii U controller just floating in white space with a game image super imposed on it really don't do it justice.
i am currently hype as fuck for bw2, pso2 and... uhm... some other stuff...
if it's not tp2 i will kill someone.

Why would you wish something so horrible... on the Zelda franchise?
Sorry me going on about the touch screen again..... I know, old topics etc, but as I said, I've just got my first touchscreen phone with Android, so only now "understanding" it.
As I said a few pages ago, I haven't really seen a need for multitouch as of yet.
Now, after playing a bit more, downloading a few games, what I REALLY need is a stylus. Fingers just aren't accurate enough for the games I've downloaded. Draw something, where's my water, even scrabble (not so important with this one though) would all be improved hugely with a stylus.
My first impressions (and I've only used it for a week) is that Nintendo have got this decision spot on (if we are to discount the expensive mutli touch resistive screen)

For me it's all about weighing up multi-touch vs stylus - under the assumption we can't have both. In the end I don't want to give up the stylus for multi-touch. The ability to write and draw accurately will add much more to the overall Wii U experience that I want that I'm happy to give up multi-touch for that.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.

Seeing that promo shot reminds me how I feel this will be the first video game console for the kitchen. What I mean by that is that the decent range should allow most home users to walk from the family room to the kitchen and keep playing their games and generally dick around with all the cool apps and utilities that will show up on the thing. The part in the promo trailer where the girl looks up her wii fit progress away from the tv set is good example.
On that note, should their be any concerns about the screen visibility in direct sunlight? I hope you can be in a room with lots off natural light and not have the screen washed out.
Being in EUrope you get to enjoy Reggiemania without the worry that his decisions are going to affect you.

No kidding. In Europe, love Reggie. The guy presents E3 like a pro and can make anything sound amazing, and he's so much more hype-building than all the speakers who try to "buddy-buddy" with the audience.

I loved his E3 2006 intro speech.
Problem here is that we could storm Nintendo and demand that Iwata apologies, but he'd just need to pop out and flick his hair a bit and we'd all forgive him.

I would actually love this. Cartridges are the best.
Many years ago, I accidentally had Mario Kart DS go through the wash and dry, and it still worked! Try that with a CD! HA!
Why is there a CD in my pants?

This is the Reggie we have awaited the return of, but he just doesn't want to play anymore. I will never forget him saying that Sony's messed up psp launch wasn't his problem

Going by what Gearbox have said we should see Aliens Colonial Marines with better visuals than the PS3 and 360 SKUs. What I'm looking forward to the most is seeing what the LyN engine is going to be capable of producing on the U hardware...assuming that the LyN engine is going to be powering Freaks. The engine produced impressive visuals locked at 60fps for Red Steel 2, one of the best looking Wii games imo.

Bloody hell, I've caught up and pressed Refresh for the very first time!!! :Oo
Well we are in the teen rebellion stage.
I had a dream last night that me and some other gaffer were "infiltrating" Nintendo's headquarters for some Wii U info by pretending to be composers for video game music. I shook hands with Iwata, Miyamoto was showing us around and I met Samuel L. Jackson doing voice acting for Skyrim Wii U Edition.
I had it with those motherfucking dragons on this motherfucking land.
Now let's hate on the other Satoru!

Might as well share too...
I also had a dream about wii u. I somehow ended up in the offices or factory at Nintendo. I found myself in this one corner of the building witnessing 6-8 Japanese men and women assembling the wii u by hand. It was at a couple of small wooden tables. They were wearing those white all body nylon covers. I got the impression that they were making prototypes for dev kits and not actual production models. At one point it seemed they were also planning how to piece the together the wii u for the final production process. I also saw some detailed blueprints of the hardware and tried to sneak some photos with my iPhone. I didn't get a chance though as I felt I'd be spotted and was too nervous to be that brash. One impression I got from the workers is that they were somewhat depressed. I wondered, was it because the GPU was underpowered?
Also, a weird but unimportant detail, their were factory shelves all around with general home furnishings, lamps and curtains, reminding me of a Bed Bath & Beyond.

well the emo bug is spreading again
what makes it worse is that empty talk like what you're seeing is what makes these threads fill up faster. instead of people just chilling out and posting after a couple of days, they go through about 18 different stages of emotions each day and want to document each one in these threads *smh*

you just don't understand the depths of my lack of hype.
You are insane.
Not sufficiently hype inducing. How about...
E3 2012 Nintendo Press Conference | Wii U? Check That Box
Or
E3 2012 Nintendo Press Conference | This sure as hell ain't E3 2008
Or
E3 2012 Nintendo Press Conference | There are HOW many more Pikmin inside?!
I dunno.

E3 2012 Nintendo Press Conference |OT| You've been duped.
Are the Gamecube and Wii Nintendo's only home consoles that didn't use Mario as an example of how to apply it's controller? WiiU looks to go back on the track of super success with one at launch that at least shows off the full game streaming capabilities, which seems to be forgotten by most.

Seriously. Even if it's just 3D Donkey Kong or something. 2D Overload in this gen...

I still remember when he became NoA president and how he began E3 2007 ,,My name is Reggie and I'm... happy
^^''. The real Reggie died forever on that day. Although he should be pissed again, especially at those super annoying analysts and whatnot, and clearly show it at the conference :lol Won't happen though.- Status
