gotta say, it has been a lot of fun with all the bullshit thrown in. i remember back when the gamecube was launching and it was going to be a return to form for nintendo after the n64. and it would have stuff like marvel vs. capcom 3!

i still have magazines from 1997 and 1998 talking about the sega saturn's successors, dural and katana. i've read them several times. they're awesome.

Ehh.. I have no life. Working 60-70 hours per week lately, this community is a godsend. But if oddsmakers are putting me at/near the top tier on the death pool, I might have to be a bit more cautious in the coming weeks. Less hot passion, more cool thought, Tom! New console launch year events are uber-holidays for us Nintendo fans. Christmas, Mardi Gras, Steak-&-BJ Day, birthday, the last day of school, and Halloween all wrapped into one! So please, everyone.. please be careful out there. I want everyone on-board still when E3 is over and done with! {damn.. now I miss Ubermatik. If you're reading this, Uber, we miss you!} :(

Just replace "third parties" with some random word like "chocolate bananas" in your potential tirade(s) against them and you'll be safe.

If it was Sega saying Outrun 3 on Wii U, then sure. Third Party. :P

[HylianTom]

Are we going to see these threads die down come E3? That'd make me sad :( I like to read them!

My predictions for after E3:
- if you like Nintendo, you'll be pleased with their E3 showing
- if you generally dislike or are dismissive of Nintendo, you'll be unimpressed with their E3 showing.
- we'll have lots and lots and lots of videos to pore over after E3 is done,
- we'll have hours of podcasts to listen and react to after E3.
- we'll have volumes of written material to absord after E3.
- we'll have answers - and a whole new set of questions after E3.
- traffic in these threads will slow-down at least a bit. Perhaps markedly.
- I'll be here, ready to talk. Lots of people will be.

Well it's still a third party surprise in my book. I would have agreed if the statement wasn't that broad. :P
