LOL same here. I'm still not comfortable making threads and discussions. I feel like every step I make might violate something

Two mods coming in to serve justice. I think it makes a good shock to the system to those of us who might have been getting a little too heavy on the playing-around side of GAF. Like me. -_-
Hush, you. We need somewhere to go to escape the relative chaos of the insanity here!
Things is, he admitted twice that he made up that image, but said that it wasn't a fake... for some reason.

It takes a lot to get permed, honestly.
Trust me.

I still don't care.
Oh I don't worry about being permed. I know what I can do and can't do for that. I just don't want to even get warnings let alone bans.

I do. I hope they're there, really no reason not to have them other than nintendo being nintendo.

Don't need them we have a touch screen.
I'm thinking "no" on click sticks.
I hate them myself but I've become increasingly convinced that lacking them is a competitive disadvantage.
How many games actually take advantage of Analogue buttons? The last one I remember was that maestro game on the PS2.

Just to recap, there were a few interesting things being talked about before the WESbomb. I hope people roll with some of the topics, as they were really interesting until they were suddenly stopped by ravenous hordes of, well, me and you and the rest of us:
A) Discussion on early platformers and how bizarre scrolling was when it was introduced
B) Transitional periods cause dips in sales, so it's not actually crazy that sales are way down now. In comparison, the transitions in to the 2nd and 3rd gens were whole-market crashes!
C) Discussion of how to make modern Wii U menu systems, with posts from earlier mockups, such as…
D) Will Nintendo make some sort of "Made for Wii U" sticker for hard drive manufacturers to use for external hard drives?
E) Why won't anybody like IceDoesntHelp? D:
F) Discussion on how to foster small developers on the Wii U platform and help them become big developers.
G) Something about an IGN game survey, but I couldn't find a link to it.
H) "Nintendo needs to make a co-op Pokemon rpg, much like borderlands style of co-op."

Nibel, after briefly taking in thread feedback:
THIS ONE is godly. This is what I want. It's the best way to use touch screen + giant screen in a manner that is as functional as it is beautiful.
…except for the lack of folders.

Could depend on what mood you catch a mod in, but considering how my posting history looks....
Clicky sticks are an affront to gaming and thumbs.
Buttons can be juggled around so the screen can be used for things you don't use too often, and real buttons for things you do. It's not a big deal.

It would have been kind of interesting, maybe, to have multiple levels of pressure sensitivity on the nubs. But it seems unlikely, and I don't care for the feature as it is anyway.
Meh. They can have them or not have them. In the big scheme of things, I don't think it's a massive issue - though people will obviously whine and complain. But most of those people likely don't care about the system or what it offers in the first place. I mean, seriously... how much could you possibly want something if a lack of clickable sticks deters you from getting it?
Okay. I just have this nagging worry that they're an avenue out of check, to borrow HylianTom's analogy.

I think that analog secondary shoulder buttons are more critical than either clickable analog directionals or analog face buttons.
March 18th.
Yeah, that's the one thing that I'm hoping was changed on the controller. Also, if anything has to be 'clicky', it should be analog triggers.

The clickiness would more for Gamecube alikeness than any compatibility with the competition, though, right?
He made a picture that mentioned a "Wii Entertainment System" on a Japanese Nintendo site. Turns out, on the actual site that text was really about Mario Party 9. A thread about Wii Entertainment System as a name change was posted and some people believed it and other websites picked up the story.
Then he kinda skirted around the issue of how he made the image which probably didn't help.

created fake pic, didn't say it was fake until it was prodded out of him a long time later, etc
Kinda an idiotic thing to do. I say banning well deserved. Don't know about a perma though.

Aye, the picture was also reported by several other websites (mostly in Forums) within half an hour. Spread like fire.
Also, I compiled a list of topics we were talking about before the incident happened; feel free to continue them. They were interesting.

yeah but that's already rumoured. Now me wants sticks.

Well I'll be damned...pema'd
But clickable sticks are horrible, especially if they wear out. PES11 I think had "dive" on the sticks and my controller was a bit old and I was diving around all game every game. Keep it away I say ;_;
Also I totally like Ice, what's that about :lol
eShop is probably the way to go. Nintendo needs to make sure they have a decent file size limit and also give these developers the same tools and attention bigger developers get.

Speaking about sticks if regular analog sticks were an impossibility, what would be best:
A) The protruding nubs that we see currently on the DRC
B) Flatter nubs like on the 3DS or PSP
C) Teensy analog sticks like on the PSV
D) Flat capacitive pads (like on that Sony Playstation phone)
?
I would have said
A
C

Cycle completes itself. I'm pretty sure someone could cause the stock market to drop for a major company here with a well executed plan of trickery. Then we could buy the stock in bulk while it's down and get rich.

I might speak out of line since I only really played Monster Hunter on the 3DS but the Circle Pad is actually quite nice, not remotely as horrible as it would seem. As long as it's tight (I hear CCP feels a bit loose?) I'm fine wit that for the time being.
I thought that's what we assumed Pachter was doing here *playful*

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I have no problem with the 3DS nubs.
Me neither, but I can't do anything but Gamecube Controller for SSB WiiU.

I dislike the 3DS nub. The grip on it isn't good enough for me. Any prolonged gaming session where you need to use it a lot and my thumb is slipping off it, so I would like the protruding ones to keep that from happening. But at the same time I hope it still is made of material that has some friction to it.
