Apparently Nintendo got back into psychedelics around the same time I did.

I've already commented on this video, but I need to reiterate how great this is. I've never seen a "Nintendo Direct" before; are they as cleverly done as this?

All hail the Virtual Boy.

They're usually just elongated info dumps with occasional little quirky bits scattered throughout. This one was fucking bananas

Is this just an amazing hot dog dream, or is this really happening?

@pocketroid: Actually, it was Tomodachi Collection that came out then, on the original DS. This is the sequel, came out this year in Japan and sold fairly well there. Heard a lot about the original when it was new so this should be very interesting, I know know I'm sold.

And unlike Rusty's real deal baseball this is weird Nintendo that's actually coming to europe too.

It's a Sakamoto game. What would you expect?

Besides the sheer insanity, I like the text-to-speech aspect of it. I occasionally play The Sims, and its vague icon-only interactions really hurt the soap opera drama of it; it'll be nice to know exactly what they're talking about.

I am worried I won't pass a drug test if I watch this video less than a week before one.

This was probably the most creative thing besides the Wii that Nintendo has put out in the last decade.

What did I just watch?

I don't currently use any Nintendo systems, but this is the kind of stuff that only they can do. I don't know why they do it, but I never want them to stop.

But seriously though. What the heck was that.

I don't really want this game. It doesn't really look like much of a game, but I feel like I show buy it to show my support for this video.

If every Nintendo Direct announce was hosted by Miis I'd buy a lot more Nintendo games.

Whoever is in charge of this productions needs to be given all the money to do what Nintendo needs to do to change for the better. This is great.

I've been trained to believe everything Nintendo puts out will be kiddied up to a hard to take degree.

I really wish every game was like this trailer. Dammit Nintendo, be like this more often, I order you.

I think we need more videos that include Reggie wearing a giant Mii head and laughing maniacally.

Yes. Yes we do.

This looks so amazing. Also, this is one of the finest videos Nintendo has ever produced. Bravo Bill Trinen.

I don't think they could have made a better suiting trailer (reveal? thingy?) for this. That. Was. Amazing!

Yeah I am so getting this and creating the GB crew for it. Jeff will move in next door and we will be best buddies until we fight because he plays his music too loud and then Patrick will cry because Vinny broke his toys and Drew and me will go to the park and fly model airplanes and it will be cool the end.

EDIT: I forgot about Alex. Alex will be there and he will want to wrestle me every day and I will say no Alex no, you are just a punk and I am busy flying planes with Drew but Alex will not stop so I will say ok punk you asked for it and I will powerslam him right through his video game collection and everyone will think I am great and then it will be the proper end.
