Blame my horrible short term memory and laziness. :D

Yup. They showed some clips of the Awkward family playing some of the NintendoLand games on their Nintendo All-Access website right after the conference. And they were all extremely painful to watch.

Someone posted this one on #speakup.

I imagine the most commons scenario will be people messing with their younger siblings pretending they are going to help them. :p

I'm guessing boost blocks can also be used as Kaizo Mario style dick-move invisible coin blocks? As in, place one right above the player as he jumps a wide gap to make him fall down and die? >:3

While this is pretty bad, playing with the controller plugged in wouldn't be nearly as bad as you describe it. It's not like it's going to use some five inch thick extra heavy mega cable or anything, tilting and moving around won't really be an issue, so long as the cable is long enough.

It would at least be nice to have Wario as one of the playable characters instead of generic toads. :/

Well, that's what the ship is for. Monster battles would involve stuff popping out of the water and you climbing it's face and stabbing it to death.

Wait... she was playing a game? What? What computer screen?

I want this naval battles taken straight out of this game and put into Dragon's Dogma. With huge water monsters to go with it.

I never did say the 3ds was better at it tho. ._.

My only problem with it is that the AR stuff seems almost entirely pointless. Yes, realtime AR is cool, but it cancels out with how awkward it is to interact with things that are supposed to be around you when you can only look at them on a tv screen sitting across you. Having a physical book seems almost entirely…

Yes, watching through the screen of a portable at least makes some semblance of sense, since it acts as a small window. On a tv it just never seems intuitive.

I've always thought that augmented reality viewed on a tv is downright stupid. I'm sure kids and hardcore Harry Potter fans are gonna eat this up tho. :/

I don't think anyone doubts it's running real time on the PS3, guy. If you want a good point to make tho, it's that Quantic Dream's games aren't as nearly as interactive as your average games. They can afford to spend more resources on pretty graphics and fancy animations than your average game. You will never get…

I want some of whatever you're smoking. I mean, it's really, truly not that amazing. And kinect being out there now doesn't make any difference to the AMAZING future other than MS cashing in on a clearly unfinished prototype. ._.

That's true. The potential is still there, but I don't think the current iteration will ever amount to anything significant. It needs to be more precise, and if it's going to be used for gaming it needs to be coupled with a physical controller of sorts. The whole "you are the controller" thing just doesn't work.

It's hard to be amazed by something that doesn't serve any purpose so far. I guess it's cool if you like to mess with homebrew stuff, but as a consumer product it's practically useless.

Kinect also seemed very ambitious and cool when first announced, and the final product was anything but. So I'm staying on my comfy fence here.

Probably because MS is too anally strict to allow something like this to be used with their console.
