But it means more plastic crap at overexpensive prices to unlock all of the game's content! Yay!

I see the gaming side threads are starting to heat up, and someone went up against bish of all people to get banned

the console wars bs is just not worth it, Nintendo has a lot to prove so stop defending them on the gaming side... just enjoy what they are bringing and shut up guys
This, all the way. Tues conf is just a little over 24 hrs away, ND was awesome, have fun and stay frosty.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
This is interesting. He actually calls that spot a "...NFC reader/writer..." That seems to confirm that it can transfer info to other NFC devices... not just read as some speculated.

So if the Miiverse is the new home screen, I'm very interested to see the navigation for the Wii U. I think every screen you have to go through to get to the actual game is an impediment to turning the thing on.
Nice call. Even if I don't like the idea of a dual analog controller that exists solely for parity.

It's kind-of a mix between realtime chat and a forum. Iwata described it as communicating through time and space
I imagine that things in the main Miiverse view are time-delayed BIG TIME to allow for content review of hand-drawn material. Friends list folks being exempt from that.
............ why?

Yeah, that's one thing that surprised me in the video. Any ideas of what can be the use of the writer?

You're quite the repository for MST3K related gifs and pics, and that is awesome.

I was shocked to see he wasn't banned when I first looked at the thread. Then I checked it a few minutes later and he was banned. :-/

I wonder if MS are now consulting their legal team. It's a pretty blatant rip off.
Storing information in figurines. Skylanders portal is capable of this, so i imagine they want at least feature parity with that.
Dude, let me just say... that 1) there's a lot of potential for using that crap to expand a game's audience (ie. I would not be surprised if the Rayman game gets a lot of kids' attention that it would not have otherwise) and 2) as a pricing and strategy person, I WOULD KILL TO BE INVOLVED WITH PRICING THAT PLASTIC CRAP. Oh my god, the fun.
Look at the bottom right corner of the Miiverse screenshot. That's what will take you to the main layout, which (if the icon on that bottom-right tab is any indicator) means we're back to Wii Channels, but hopefully a much better implementation of them.
I really don't think MS wants to get embroiled in lawsuits over ripping someone off. Something about stones and glass houses.
silly troll, I'm not even going to grace you with a respectable response.

He should've just ignored them. And E3 was so close.

I don't want to rummage for the screenshot, but thanks. I didn't catch that. I'm okay with Channels if they function similarly to 3DS (with folders!)

I wonder how many people actually played Skylanders to actually see that it's not shallow like that.
It doesn't just "unlock". It stores data which spans from different consoles and games. It's like a physical, mini cloud storage.

To be fair, half the stuff he quoted was far worse than anything Ace or BP posted. He killed his argument by including legit opinions, however.

I'd be happy with just a refined version of what we've got on the 3DS with just a grid for our apps, and the ability to organize them into folders.

I seem to remember MS having several patents about gamepad design and button layouts. And they are generally not shy when it comes to protecting their IP.

Thanks. I feel MST3K gifs are perfect because they're funny and smart alecky but without being trollish or mean, plus they help lighten the mood.

Most of the Wii U threads on the gaming side are minefields.
This place seems like the last sane place to discuss Wii U.

it would be amusing if they went after Nintendo
I don't think it would work... I'm sure there are plenty of patents Nintendo would love to serve but they don't want to look bad... they need someone to start it

On a related note, E3 doesn't support avatars so Falco-as-Chozo-holding-Item-Ball kinda feels wasted, doubled by the early debunking of the rumor

Storing account info and game stats on a gamer card so that you can take it to the store to get promotions or order digital downloads. Or, maybe even take to a friend or relative's house and use it pull up your account/system info on her Wii U.

Did MS do anything but add a menu button? What patent could they hit them with that could be multiplied x10 back on themselves? Yes, I'm entertaining this because it's 3am here and the wait is hard lol

Plus it only really looks like the controller in shape which I'm pretty sure that's not enough to sue over.
The right stick is in a different location and both sticks are convex instead of concave like on the 360 pad.
The buttons are arranged in a different order, and the d-pad is different.

well thats that.
honestly he is right though.
edit.
A controller copied off another controller (360) copied off another controller (GC) copied off another controller (PS2) copied off another controller (SNES).
I think all 3 console makers are dealing with this just fine.

Who's up for bending Time and Space with Iwata so Tuesday can get here already?
Eh. They can be a bit lazy when it comes to the Pro controller. After all, it's more of a me-too product by its very nature. Frankly, I think it's a worthless addition to the landscape designed to appease the most narrow-minded of people, but that's neither here nor there.
How is he right? That crap happens in nearly every single thread on Gaf and in every forum on the Internet for that matter. Flame wars are not exclusive to Nintendo threads however they are the most clear cut on both sides of the spectrum. Nintendo threads draw in just as many devoted fanboys as they do haters. Opinions are like assholes and such.

IMO I think the Pro controller is just the result of third party devs pushing Nintendo for something more traditional as the normal Dudebro controller.

both sides are right but one side runs this forum... if you don't run things you shut up!
this is not America! there are rules follow them.
I may get myself banned but it will be something sillier than Console Warz :3
