What are you talking about, cringeworthy? :O
That reveal video was very good. Lots of great ideas and the Wii Sports things really surprised me. It was something I never ever expected.
God I miss that game. It too was a wild hype train.
I actually like the NX for a name.
This feels like the last big console hype.
I think the Vita is dead. The PS5 and Nextbox will be iterative improvements on the PS4 Pro and Scorpio, with effortless backwards compatibility (essentially like updating your PC)
The NX is the last big question. Iwata expressed interest in having something like the iOS ecosystem, so I think if the console does well the only hardware in the future will be the NX2, with the library carrying over.
Its kinda weird to think about.
3 minutes? For the initial unveil?
What the hell...
If that is the case, we should also think proportionally, isn't it? Not that it matters that much, anyway. Both companies are laughing k. They are on their way to the bank while we bicker over popularity contests, heheh
Don't worry, the real name will be awful.
Okay, predicting this now:
This teaser presentation will show almost nothing.
People will go crazy. Positively crazy at first, then batshit insane after it because they didn't show enough or even anything at all.
It all ends with a date for the full reveal in the form of a Direct set for next week at the earliest.
Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an honor being this batshit crazy with you all. *starts playing violin.*
I wonder what the chances are of being able to preorder tomorrow or the day after are? It's sad that I'm ready to drop cash on something I have never seen yet.
First of all: shaming people fit something like this is stupid.Is there a list of all the people who doubted Emily? It looks like the previous thread has been removed.
What the hell? Damn you're vindictive.Is there a list of all the people who doubted Emily? It looks like the previous thread has been removed.

What did people say about Emily Rogers?
She had a new rumour every other week though.. eventually it was going to be right.

I respectfully disagree... that video was what introduced 95% of Nintendo's potential customers to the Wii U. No casual observer took any notice of what Reggie said during that E3.
Watching it back, I'm almost in disbelief of how bad the messaging was. The only thing that was focused on was the controller, and the games shown looked practically identical to their Wii brethren - you've got New Super Mario Bros, Wii Sports, and other Mii-related things. Nowhere do they indicate these are new games. Apart from Zelda, there wasn't even any noticeable upgrade in visuals, which is what the majority of people associate with a new console generation.
In addition to that, the games shown were terribly disappointing for the diehard Nintendo fans (with the exception of Zelda - which was nothing more than a tech demo). And the technology was about 5 years too late. They needed to focus on what was unique to their platform and differentiated them from everyone else - the quality of their first-party titles and the unique ways the GamePad could be used to interface with them. They tried this a bit with the Wii Sports segment, but generally the applications shown seemed very gimmicky.
Now I can't imagine they'll have the same problem with this upcoming reveal but I do worry that Nintendo continues to focus on an imaginary casual blue ocean audience that has all but dried up at this point in the west.
Smash 4 is great for new characters, but the things Project M did with reverse-engineered tools on a last-generation hardware base sometimes put it to shame.
Ah, there he is. Really, that's all you could say?
No word on how right you are all the time? How you warned us all about Emily?
