Gamers don't want to leap around the room and flail their arms around as if they're on fire. What a load of dick.

The paint tool looked shit as well, but I bet some fucking mentalist spends days on it and makes an absolute masterpiece.

I genuinely hope Natal is a failure, because frankly Microsoft and Sony don't deserve to make a success out of Nintendo's experiments.

Looks thoroughly uninteresting to me.

I can't help but wonder what would happen if a person playing on a Nutella Natal had a fit?

>>4669
probably set a new high score.

>>4670
So it's gaming designed to let epileptics win?
IT'S PC GONE MAD I TELL YOU

>>4655

> nintendos experiments

Except that the Wii controller was based off the research put into the PS3 controller. Sony just believed that gamers wouldn't want to mess about like kids. Nintendo sold it not as a console but as an entertainment machine.

Sony fucked up big time.

>>4668
Looks like the last time I went to a hardcore show.

Bam. There it fails.

Here in context.

>>4693

Oh god...

>>4693
BAM!

Kinect game line-up also revealed, including Kinect Sports and other games the Wii did first. Shitloads of news, search for it yourself.

>>4652 >>4693

These guys are fucking amateurs.

>>4652

Even if I wanted to leap around like a burning monkey every time I played a game I don't think I have a large empty room to spare for just a console. I can't say this is looking any more attractive to me than Nintendo's effort.

>>4663

Truth. There's no way I can look at that part as anything other than paedo fantasy fodder. Creepy. Maybe it is a grooming simulator. There's probably a market for it.

>>4693

And bam! I'm unconvinced.

>>4743

>>4756

So instead of releasing a new console, they are just redesigning the case and making a Eyetoy/Wiisports knockoff?

>>4764

That's the console trend these days though isn't it? Release a compact version/matte black version midway through the production cycle? Sony do it, Nintendo do it. I for one welcome the slightly smaller form factor, I still haven't bought one and it'll fit snugly next to my freeview box.

>>4765

Even educated fleas do it!

>>4765

To my memory, Nintendo have only done it to their hand held devices.


I still want a gameboy micro

>>4768

There's a black Wii

>>4766
Let's do it, let's design a smaller form factor for the next iteration of our produuuuuct!

>>4769

Wasn't there a fair number of colours though? I seem to remember seeing a pink one too. Maybe that was Japan only.

>>4768
I remembered them releasing the GBMicro but didn't pay it any attention as my GBA still worked. I didn't realise they were THAT small though.

>>4773

Could be ideal for small children. Toddlers and the like. I'd imagine adult-sized controls much be difficult for them.

>>4774


Pfft. I managed with an original Gameboy when I were a little lad. It helped improve my finger reach and dexterity, if anything. No pain no gain, they don't know they're born etc etc.

>>4775

Very little, like a toddler? I'd have thought it could run the risk of pain or maybe even damage with heavy use.

>>4776

I was probably closer to ten or eleven before I got my hands on one. You're right though, they weren't too ergonomic for kids - but the subsequent 'Pocket' I got was much more suitable. Any smaller and I'd have lost it.

>>4774
I had an original Gameboy by about 7 or 8 iirc. Never had any trouble with it. Still got it around somewhere last I knew, I may try to find it at some point.

No-one reads those safety booklets that come with consoles, do they?

>>4785
Well, I think there are probably some people who do. Probably the sort of person who has a collection of over 12,000 used teabags.

>>4785

I read a bit of the orignal xbox one, I remember there were several dire warnings that amounted to : 'DO NOT LET THIS DROP ON YOUR BABY OR DOG, IT WILL DESTROY THEM' which made me laugh.

Someone probably carefully reads every one so they know how best to sue the company.

>>4802

Amurikanz I would believe do that. Common sense is taken for granted here. In America, a hot cup of coffee is considered a court case.
Or the dog in a microwave.

>>4808

That coffee one made more sense if you looked into it.

>>4809
IIRC, the water was superheated, something like 150 Celsius as people would only drink the coffee ages after buying it?

At least natal isnt WAGGALAN A BIG DILDO

The new 360 is very nice. It's hopefully going to be all the original was. I also think M$ have been very clever to not release the proper new version of their console until now, after the ps3 slim. The wii is to meteorically popular I doubt they'll even think of redesigning.

>>4817

Why would the redesign the Wii? The only thing they could really do different is cash in on the trendy market and do what Microsoft did with exchangable covers.

>>4819

They could make it even smaller?

>>4817

>At least natal isnt WAGGALAN A BIG DILDO

No, even better, you waggle an imaginary dildo!

>>4817

>At least natal isnt WAGGALAN A BIG DILDO

No, even better, you just end up looking like a big dildo.

Personally I'd rather airwaggle than stand around holding the move controller, just look at it. Fucking horrendous

What about when we crawl out of bed, want to wind down or want to relax on a lazy day?

NO GO. START JUMPING AND RUNNING.

It's like someone took all the good things about console gaming - the ease of use, compactness of the unit, ability to game on a sofa - and shat on them.

>>4826

I wouldn't. Holding a move controller is bad enough, I guess, but at least it has buttons.

Almost immediately, you can feel the difference between the PlayStation Move and the Nintendo Wii Motion Plus. When waving the Move controller around to move the cursor, there is less of a "laggy" feeling. The cursor keeps up with your movements much more quickly than the Wii's controller. The controller was also designed with ergonomics in mind. The PlayStation Move controller is much easier to hold, it seems almost perfectly molded to your hand (or at least my adult hand, I'm curious if a child would feel the same way). For all intents and purposes, the PlayStation Move controller can be summed up as a more accurate, lighter, curvier Wii Motion Plus controller.

Bastard bastard bastarding bastard bastards. Me and my Wii are going to look like a right joke when this gets successful with all its fantastic games. Fuck's sake Nintendo, you're supposed to be good at R&D.

>>4835

Don't worry, ninty know what they're doing. Which is why they made the Wiimote controller the main controller for the system, rather than bundling it with the classic and releasing the wiimote halfway into the systems cycle. Hark my words- Move and Kinect will only split their respective console's market, forcing devs to pick one or the other. It is for that reason the controllers will fail.
That and the price. $199 for Kinect, and just under $100 for Move, according to market predictions.

no controller you say?

completely unrelated but you reminded me of this:

Priceless. I do like The Onion. It's only a matter of time before someone ends up implementing that idea for real.

http://www.youtube.com/v/BGGOn-H7s3Q

>>4843

This does remind me of some of the problems I have with the idea of ever-smaller phones and computers. There does come a point where fashion detracts from funcionality and convenience.

>>4844

I can only agree. If the latest Blackberries were about 15-20% larger, I'd have a much more satisfying typing experience on them, but I suspect RIM poured millions into trying to get the thing 15-20% smaller.

Yeah I love the Onion too, it's very good sometimes.

Why that show didn't get re-commissioned i'll never know.

Never watched it, it looked rubbish, though I'll admit these two sketches are vaguely amusing. I imagine it's quite hit and miss, like Mitchell and Webb.
