RADNEN'S PROFILE

I have no faith in Nintendo. All of my fondest memories date from the GC and back, especially of the N64, SNES and NES. Especially when it had more 3rd party titles.

If the Wii-U, whose name is dreadful, ever does pick up, I'd be persuaded to change, that is if the purported "Xbox 3" and PS4 don't revolutionize the playing field which they no doubt will.

The timing of the Wii-U would be horrendous. First, the next gen consoles come out in 2013, and second for the fact that these consoles would know exactly what the Wii-U is and would have extra time to one-up Nintendo. And third, their stock is going south because investors were displeased with their expectations.

That is to say, the Wii-U will still sell well, and I'll always have an economic faith in Nintendo, just not a gamer's faith.

Nintendo dominated E3 AGAIN this year.

So, you play a DS, but it's on the big screen? Disappointing... If you look closely, the same game is seen on both screens. In a Zelda example, sometimes the controller screen will show an inventory instead. I don't know, but would that inventory pause the TV screen?

Didn't the dreamcast do something like this? It's by far not an invention.

Here's why the controller won't be expensive, although it acts like a DS controller: No hardware.

The hardware is in the Wii U, so the controller is basically a plastic shell for the buttons, screen, batteries, gyro, and whatever else thats crammed inside. It'll run no more than $50.00, more likely due to licensing fees. (This is for those who were wondering about price).

So basically Nintendo gutted their DS, made one screen the controller, the other screen the TV. Then they put the hardware into a separate box, made the controller a little larger to accommodate its bigger screen and went to town. Innovation at its chiefest moment (sarcasm). It's more like industry than innovation. A manufacturers amalgamation, if anything. They were clearly thinking inside the box on this one...

It's not just console names, but even some video games coming out of Japan have some strange names (in English, no less). I'm wondering what the hell the translators think sometimes?

Wii U, one bad thing to say:

It'll match this gen's Xbox and PlayStation graphical qualities... But in 2012. :/

In 2013, Microsoft and Sony will release their alleged successors and again Nintendo's product will fall to the crappy graphics but great party-time first party software. It's as Metallica would say: Sad but True.

I've been following the live feeds all day, and one thing that impresses me is Skyrim. Hold-My-Mother-Fucking-Shit, I have died and gone to Valhalla.

This kind of content really, ideally should go on a game page. The forums weren't meant to offload project ideas or other stuff. (Yeah, I read his comment)

If a game page is suffering, then there's something wrong with the community. :/

(I mean absolutely no offence in any way). If you want to change the rules for this kind of stuff, then by all means ask the appropriate admins. It seems other members don't necessarily care, so the rule change should be quite swift.

Just a word about litterature being a "passive medium". Reading a book or admiring a painting are individual experiences where one's life experience and imagination are highly involved, its anything but a passive experience. .It actually takes much more out of you than playing video games. Nevertheless, video game making, at least the better ones, is a minor form of art, especially when they don't pretend to teach you anything, art, creation doesn't work like that.

You are right, video games don't leave much to the imagination!
