1) Price?
Depends on their route:
$299 barebones (unit, tablet, and 8gig SD card) - or -
$349 with above, Wii Motion + and digital pack-in casual game (Brain Training, Wii Fit*) - or -
$399 with above, 80 gig external drive, and free VC game(s). (UNLIKELY)
* scale would be sold separately
2) Release date?
Sunday, November 18th (though I do think they should launch sooner)
3) Bullshit xbox360-based Multiplier Equivalent?
1.5x or 2x.
4) Nintendo conference surprise(s)?
Retro's game - Starfox, F-zero, DK sequel or Smash Bros. (if a collaboration like Mario Kart 7).
5) Predict Miyamoto's role/costume/appearance context in this year's show.
Nothing outlandish. Just there to help present and show off Pikmin.
6) Any special MS or Sony predictions?
MS: Halo 4, hints of their new console
Sony: Vita focus
7) You know we're going to hear some, umm, interesting excuses from third parties. So.. what'll be your favorite?
Not enough time to port, hard to port, Wii U tablet requires too much thought. Underpowered CPU.
8) Any special E3 plans/arrangements of your own? Taking off from work? Skipping a final exam?
Nope, asked for the day off but not heart breaking if I don't get it. Checking in during the evening will be a shock, I'm sure.
9) Your favorite bullshit gaming media critique of Nintendo's performance at E3 this year?
Third party games look like PS360, no innovations with the new screen.
10) Your own predicted complaint/peeve/angering issue regarding Nintendo's E3 performance this year?
Didn't work hard enough to get third party ports / exclusives. Launch day line-up, despite promises, may be weak due to game delays.
