I chuckled. When does it air?

I do not know. Comments on GameTrailers for the first part of the Sony preview started appearing 3:03pm, so I guess 3:00pm is the air time. Pacific time I assume since GameTrailers is stationed in California.

So, we've got Randy verbally pitchforking the Wii U's hardware into next generation (though you could question what Randy's conception of next generation is) and this absurd rumor from the Paul Gale Network, of a Metroid/Star Fox mash-up. Anything else juicy? Tomorrow there's the "Bonus Round Episode 606 - Nintendo E3 2012 Preview" on GameTrailers. That's something I've been looking forward to. Not because I expect Geoff & Co. to exactly praise the Wii U, but to witness a potential backlash if their opinions are of a "Wii U is weaker than Xbox 360" caliber. But Pachter hasn't rocked the boat too much lately and has actually provided some good remarks on Wii U. I do hope the coverage is overall intriguing and actually calls forth some qualitative discussion.

who's Randy?

who's Randy?

Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox Software. Thread here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=474704

Superman is faster than light

Mario has a green dinosaur that can become light. All arguments are invalid.

No he doesn't!

The dinosaur is yellow at the time.

No Superman does this Mario does not

You're right, Mario just lifts giant dragons, entire castles and kicks asteroids.

All this talk about Mario reminded me of this old image I have saved:

lol reminds me of this

Honestly I have a feeling people are more surprised and appalled at the idea because it's more to do with furries rather than the oddity of the crossover.

If you ask me I'm more appalled that people assume Sonic fandom is equatable to furries. Sonic fandom is worse. Much worse.

btw I see people rooting for Retro to do a whole new IP ,,,,,,,,,,I thought Retro was established (and became famous) for rebooting old Nintendo IPs ?

No. It has to do with the fact that Star Fox and Metroid are completely incompatible as franchises.
It's like asking for a Sly Cooper and Gears of War cross over.

[BY2K]

fyi, Nintendo's part of the Bonus Round E3 Preview should be up at 3PM EST tomorrow. That's when the other 2 came up.

Oh, it's EST, eh, I thought it was PST. Thanks for clearing it up.

[Sadist]

Hopefully Nintendo will have some showfloor megatons. 2010 had the Ocarina of Time remake for 3DS. So awesome.

By the by, Paul has been wrong before.

Remember the TMNT: Manhattan Crisis game by Rocksteady? That wasn't true. At all. Rocksteady shot down the rumour rather quickly.

The only recent thing he got right was Playstation All-Star.

Those are more after show floor megatons. Miyamoto's round table will likely have some sort of exclusive stuff.

I wonder if he talks about the WiiU in this way, trying to be the 3rd party to get for WiiU at launch/launch window.

EDIT: I think that what he says is true, but it is not often that you see someone basically only promoting one SKU of their game (unless there is some payed stuff, like exclusive adverticement for Call of Duty on Xbox 360 only). Or maybe that is just my impression. Nothing wrong with what he is doing either way though.

[z0m3le]

He also did say that this was a rumor and to take it as such because he couldn't get confirmation.

[tkscz]

Yeah I saw that too. And story wise, how are their universes incompatible? No seriously, someone tell me. StarFox was never this light hearted universe everyone seems to remember. Assault was pretty harsh the and story of command could get pretty dark. Not to mention they all start with war.

[Nibel]

Metroid X Starfox is the worst rumor I heard in a while

And even if you look at 64 it's pretty damn harsh too. I guess people just think of animals in ships they think it's funny.

2008 was Pikmin 3.
2009 was the first Skyward Sword artwork.
2010 was the Ocarina of Time remake.
And 2011 was Pikmin 3 moving to Wii U.

Wonder what will it be this year.

Probably Zelda related..

You guys think we can get this thread locked before E3 starts?

Depends. How fast can you find rule 34 on Reggie?

We can probably get it locked today, but if you are talking about 20,000 posts, I would say monday is the latest, especially with stuff like GT's bonus round to talk about tomorrow.

[Nibel]

This one is only two weeks old and has over 15,000 posts already. We'll probably get another by our beloved GameplayWhore and that one will fill up even faster than this one - after that we'll probably get another one which will co-exist with the Nintendo E3 2012 Conference thread which I heard is going to be incredible in terms of awesomeness (my sources likes baguettes)

[kami_sama]

Well, if you consider Iwata's and Reggie's picture rule 34, i think it's easy. If not, I don't want to search for it :P

Yup, that's gonna bring in a lot of post.

Will probably double the size of the Bonus Round E3 Preview Thread.

shouldn't take no more than a week or less at the rate its going now.

This thread has a week left at best.

Since we're nearing the conclusion, we should return to our roots. BG should make the next thread.

Not to mention Metroid has had it's light hearted moments. And the story of Other M just can't be taken serious at all. The melodrama is enough to surpass anything star fox has done. THE BABY THE BABY THE BABY.
