Details were scarce about the IBM silicon Nintendo's new HD powerhouse was packing, but we did some digging to get a little more info. IBM tells us that within the Wii U there's a 45nm custom chip with "a lot" of embedded DRAM. It's a silicon on insulator design and packs the same processor technology found in Watson, the supercomputer that bested a couple of meatbags on Jeopardy awhile back. Unfortunately, IBM wouldn't give us the chip's clock speeds, but if it's good enough to smoke Ken Jennings on national TV, we imagine it'll do alright against its competition from Sony and Microsoft.

anyone else interested in the Sony Vita? I just started working for a telecommunications company, and im looking into buying a smart phone. im not interested in any, but Vita would change my mind quick. 3DS for movies and media, and Vita for phone usage. Quite the harmony.

also interested in the 3dtv for $500 with resistance, 2 glasses and the hd cable....still, Nintendo wow'd me a little more. New Consoles tend to do that.

Nintendo > Sony > Microsoft.

Although it does have 3G internet access the Vita's just a portable console. The smartphone is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.

I'd be surprised if it was since the Xperia Play has already been announced

Plus, I'd imagine it'd be pretty had to use a phone that has two analogue sticks poking you in the face ;-)

Funny enough, I have an idea for a 2D fighting series that has those guys in it.

Thing is that it is supposed to be two seperate games that join in a big DLC pack later. One deals with videogame characters, other with anime and comic characters. And Doctor Who because why not. Also Kamen Rider Decade.

Oh good Nintendo managed to make the Game Boy bigger. 1080p system? About 5 years behind aren't we fellas?

A love letter to Nintendo wrote:
Dear Nintendo,

NOBODY GIVES A FUCKING SHIT ABOUT THE CONTROLLER!

All my love,
Gamers at large


Jesus Christ. Nintendo's strategy seems to be implement some new peripheral to distract you from noticing they don't put out decent games. Ever see The Jerk? Remember when Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) rigs up that guy's glasses so they don't fall off and then later on the guy markets it and Navin becomes rich? If you haven't seen it (I suggest you do, it's hysterical) it turned out that there was a design flaw that makes everyone's eyes concentrate on the Opti-Grab so they go cross eyed. This is how I see the Wii-U controller. Everyone will be herp derping while playing the "new" Zelda game. "Do I concentrate on the screen or the controller? The screen! No the controller! The screen! FUCK!" What happens when you drop that big bulky mess? Screen cracks, time to spend another $100? (maybe at the barest of all minimums) $200? $300? It can't be cheap with that screen plopped right in the middle of it. So now you're waving this big white plastic thing in the air, your grip slips and you knock out grandma who enjoyed the Wii at her nursing home, putting her in a coma indefinitely. Although this may never occur considering you'll probably have to charge that thing every hour because of that fucking screen draining power faster than a toaster in a bath tub.

Please Nintendo for all that is good in the world stop "revolutionizing" how games are played and just put out the same tired titles you've been putting out for the past 26 years. (Seems like enough of you retards are already excited about the lastest installment of Mario Part- err... I mean Smash Bros.) You'll still make boat loads of money and the majority gaming community will respect you for it. The minority (read intelligent) having already jumped shipped midway through the N64 life span. For some reason you're into creating gimmicks rather than contracting decent software developers. Gimmicks don't last and neither will you. Nintendo, you're a dinosaur become extinct if you plan to continue with this dog shit.

NINTENDO DIDNT SHOW STUFF THAT INTERESTS ME THEY WERE THE WORST

Cool story bro.

Last I check, everyone was boring as shit. Microsoft was the worst trying to push the Kinetic, Sony just didn't have anything of interest. Nintendo won, no question. The fact they actually managed to get some of their fanbase excited for what they're planning is all they needed to do and what any E3 must do. No one attracted anyone new, while Nintendo was the only one who got any of their fans excited. If that is considered failure to you, it's incredibly obvious you didn't care about Nintendo in the first place. Besides, even their lesser First Party Games are at least passable, not crap as you say. It's obvious you've never played a bad game if you call anything Nintendo published crap.

Except Geist. Fuck that game.

Going to be honest. There was a lot of smoke and mirrors at this press conference but I left very underwhelmed.

You'd think with the launch of a new handheld they would really be playing it up but it was #5 on their list. I think because there is a lack of launch titles they didn't have much to showcase.

-A TMTG


Um the 3DS had a terrible launch but that didn't stop all of you guys wanting one on day 1? Not trying to give you grief here Andy, but what was so special about a shoddy 3D screen that only works at one perfect angle compared to something that has a touch screen, a touch panel and graphics that look on par (for now) with what the PS3 can put out?

Considering the 3ds is the successor to the most popular and arguably best handheld device ever, it had a lot going for it from the get go, even without an impressive launch. People are interested in new Nintendo handhelds, believe it or not.

The press conference was ok I guess. It's funny how excited I get for these things, and then wind up being bored as hell throughout them.

I kinda hated the idea of the Wii U at first, but it could be great. I hate the name obviously, and I wish the controller screen was smaller so as to make the controller less clunky, but the whole dual screen thing works great for the DS, and though the two screens will be much further apart with the Wii U, it's still a concept that is proven to work and work well. I still wish they'd just release a system with a regular ass controller (SNES controller with a few extra buttons would be perfect), but they seem to be keen on trying to be the front runners in new technology, so I'm not surprised. I'm sure there will be lots of whiners, but at least this isn't just a Wii with better graphics.

Wii U looks pretty impressive in terms of what it can do. Once again, like I said, menu interfaces and useless information on the controller, less UI cluttering up the game the better IMHO. I don't think the interface will be as complex as Nosebleed expects it to be. I sort of expect it to feel just like IRL and a rearview mirror, you glance at it from time to time or when you know you NEED to glance at it, and then the rest of the time you ignore it and look at the road ahead of you.
