Urgh, these ground textures don't feel very realistic.

Oh shit. "I've touched this sort of grass before, and this doesn't feel right. Fuck you, Nintendo."

[From The Dust]

That's what I was basing my very basic opinion on. Anything less, what would it matter?

then there would be an issue of costs. these screens are obviously more expensive than regular, single touch screens. with a screen, I can see this thing pushing $60-$80 already.

 

[Busty]

Now that it's sinking in, I can see why it would be correct. This falls totally in line with the Wii and 3DS. Experiences you can't emulate anywhere else on the market (at the time of release in Wii's case). It sounds very Nintendo-like. At this point, I'd be more surprised if this wasn't it.

The more I hear about Cafe the more I think of the Virtual Boy.

Mind you, I said the same thing about Kinect so what the fuck do I know?

 

[EvilMario]

Analog sticks are a gimmick! Rumble is a gimmick! Online play is a gimmick!

Rumble is sort of a gimmick. :/

Motion controls can be a gimmick, it comes down to the developer and how they're using it. ie; Silent Hill:SM, navigating with flash light is amazing.. but using shaking (waggle) in Donkey Kong Country Returns to perform various acts is a gimmick and nothing else.

Likewise, this technology might be really useful and creative in some aspects.. but I'm sure there will be plenty of developers just trying to tact it onto their games for the sake of having it.

 

[TunaLover]

But what has to do Café name with "Feel"? we know that Project Café is real since it was presented on WarioWare page, the name Feel doesn't have any connection with that.

I'm calling BS.

 

[rpmurphy]

Oh shit. "I've touched this sort of grass before, and this doesn't feel right. Fuck you, Nintendo."

This doesn't feel like the soft skin of a woman! Nintendo, are you even trying?!

 

[Krev]

I'm okay with anything as long as it isn't too expensive and it brings back local co-op in a big way like we were speculating Cafe would do.

You know, there'd be a huge market for DoA:XBV on this potential thing. Rumble Roses too.

 

[Vinci]

The more I hear about Cafe the more I think of the Virtual Boy.

Mind you, I said the same thing about Kinect so what the fuck do I know?

I can actually understand how people might compare Cafe to the Dreamcast, but... Virtual Boy??

 

[EvilMario]

These breast feel like bags of sand.

 

[Graphics Horse]

It would be interesting technology, but I can't see how it would aid gameplay in too many traditional titles.

Well.... neither can I, but adding feedback to the screen makes it easier to navigate the surface blind while you're concentrating on the TV.

The more I hear about Cafe the more I think of the Virtual Boy.

Mind you, I said the same thing about Kinect so what the fuck do I know?

3DS was the Virtual boy mk 2, this is the Gamecube connectivity mk. 2.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Aren't Wiimote + Wiimotion Plus + Nunchuck already 100?

If you buy Wii Remote, Motion Plus, and Nunchuk at full price separately, then are charged 25% tax, almost.

 

[Busty]

Virtual Boy. The ultimate 'gimmick for the sake of a gimmick' piece of commercial electronics.

These breast feel like bags of sand.

Shitty third party port confirmed!

this vagina feels like hard glass. no buy

Sorry, MS already has a patent on this.

That's...fucking brilliant, actually.

I don't know, not sure this is it, and I have a lot of queries about the concept, but feel could potentially be quite special.

3DS was the Virtual boy mk 2, this is the Gamecube connectivity mk. 2.

God, I hope so.

 

[EvilMario]

3DS was the Virtual boy mk 2, this is the Gamecube connectivity mk. 2.

The demise of the 3DS has been greatly over exaggerated. If at this point next year, when actual quality software is out, and they're still bombing sales wise.. then it will be a safer bet. The DS struggled mightily out of the gates as well, while the PSP was strong. How did that turn out?

 

[DungeonO]

This goes in line with the whole "capability of a GCN controller without the form factor"

The could emulate any controller with a screen that lets you feel the buttons.

 

[Busty]

That's a good point actually. And I did love my Gamecube. It has to said.

Have you ever gone a full day without mentioning vaginas?

 

[From The Dust]

Well.... neither can I, but adding feedback to the screen makes it easier to navigate the surface blind while you're concentrating on the TV.

it's still not going to replace hard sticks and buttons though.

Actually, that would be the 3DS with 3D, imo. At least as of now.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Well of course not, because they're still there.

I wasn't trying to imply it was doomed! Just that they're trying the whole 3D system again. I think the 3DS will do decently, just not match crazy DS levels, but that's always how it looked to me.
Is it too late for this not to become a discussion about the 3DS being doomed?

 

[Teknoman]

I really cant see how people are saying the 3DS is dying already...

 

[brandonh83]

Can't wait to see the revamped Skyward Sword for Feel.

 

[abstract alien]

Analog sticks are a gimmick! Rumble is a gimmick! Online play is a gimmick!

That's what I'm saying lol. Everything different is always a damn pointless gimmick because it doesn't suit the perfect needs of traditional software. That's why its called traditional for a reason...but at one point it wasn't traditional, it was new. At that point, it was a fucking gimmick.

Some people are stuck so far in the past it is sad, but thankfully, Nintendo isn't a group of those people.

I really cant see how people are saying the 3DS is dying already...

They are bored and don't have anything else to say, so something stupid sounds the most logical for them.

 

[Vinci]

It's definitely not dying. Just got off to a slightly slower pace than Nintendo expected.

They're not even bombing right now wtf

You're obsessed man!

Now that I can agree with.

 

[From The Dust]

Well of course not, because they're still there.

I always figured that the screen will be set up kinda like the NGP with it's trackpad. on the tv, there are symbols on the side that are also on the controller screen.

 

[falconzss]

It's conceptually much better suited for a handheld, and it'd be better off being saved until the tech advances to the point where including it in a mobile device is viable.

This was shown at CES in 2009 using and iPhone. Should be possible to incorporate by now, though i am of the same opinion it being better suited for mobile devices.

They are if they're regressing back to dual-analog.

 

[From The Dust]

You're obsessed man!

I'm just not ready to to give up the sticks. I love the feel of Nintendo's. rotating them feels good. and without phsyical feedback, I can't tell if I'm pressing the right buttons

 

[Vinci]

oh god, they MIGHT use this for buttons.

 

[Emitan]

oh god, they MIGHT use this for buttons.

It will have traditional buttons.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I thought it was going to have similar feedback to that before the announcement, but I'm not sure about that rumor, seems more like a guess.

 

[Teknoman]

oh god, they MIGHT use this for buttons.

They wont.

 

[Always-honest]

It will have traditional buttons.

oh god they MIGHT use this for buttons

okay, let''s hope not

 

[brochiller]

It will have traditional buttons.

If anything they'll use this to compliment traditional buttons. Which I wouldn't mind as long as it doesn't drive the price up too much. And I hope this isn't the "big feature," if it's even true.

 

[abstract alien]

They are if they're regressing back to dual-analog.

I doubt it will just be a 360 controller.

 

[From The Dust]

oh god they MIGHT use this for buttons

okay, let''s hope not

they won't. Nintendo confirmed they aren't moving away from buttons. there is no leeway here.

 

[Quadrangulum]

Conceptually, it doesn't sound horrible but I can't imagine the technology being ready for cheap mass production by 2012.

 

[Xane]

so will jaggies hurt my fingers?

Not if you pet them. :>

 

[EvilMario]

$249.99 for the 3DS, Nintendo doesn't care about cheap now!

 

[rpmurphy]

The tech would be cool for touch screen interaction like swiping or sliding your finger across the screen, like for Fruit Ninja you could feel the fruit that you're slicing. For just touching though, it probably won't have much benefit.
