I was walking down a busy Chicago street and in and out of shops that were giving me dirty looks. I couldn't hear shit. How stupid did I sound?
Were you on the stream earlier, or are you just crazy?
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
@darkest4: You can add an external hard drive of any size.
So what? Every console can use externals. That's just another $xx you have to spend to make this console up to par with Ps3/Xbox360s that come with far more storage included. And running games off an external HDD is not always an ideal experience. If you want to store more than just 1 or 2 games, now you're up to $400~ for a console that doesn't offer much over PS3/Xbox360 which is kind of sad for a 2012 release.
The 360 can't use externals of any size. You also pay out of the ass for the 360s that "come" with far more storage included. About a dollar a gig.
They aren't including a game with it? WTF Nintendo? I could spend that money of the games I want coming out this year and they havent shown any decent games for that thing.
The Premium package comes with Nintendoland. You know, that game no one wants?
man, so many internet cynics. i'll be getting one and i'll be enjoying all the cool stuff it has to offer. i'm probably most excited for innovative games that haven't been announced yet
This is why most people are "cynical". I LOVE Nintendo, but by all accounts they have an underpowered machine with MAYBE one game that interests me (ZombiU) announced, and the system is out in 2 months.
When Zelda, Mario, or Metroid come out, I'll pick one up, but I'm not even a little bit excited, and I think the screen in the controller is a good idea. If I'm not excited, as a professed Nintendo fanboy, I fear for this system's potential.
Isn't an underpowered machine and the potential for innovative games what Nintendo has always done and they've always sold gangbusters.
It is underpowered compared to the systems it will be competing against in one year (and a lot of the games shown so far look like Wii games), and I said that I look forward to Nintendo's innovative games (none of which we've seen yet, which explains the cynicism). Wii Sports was indicative of the potential of the Wii. Zelda showed how the Wii could be used with a mainstream game. All we have right now is NintendoLand which looks so underwhelming, and Pikmin, which looks like Pikmin 2 but with PC-style controls. I don't think this system will doom Nintendo, but this is the lowest level excitement I can remember for a major console release in a long time.
