The funny thing is that I felt like I got my first taste of what looking around in a virtual world could be from Ocarina of Time on 3DS. There was a first person view mode that you could control with the gyroscope.

That seems like such a bizarre problem. They are big enough company that they could hire a quality person to manage a cafeteria.

I absolutely agree. I'm surprised that more of the console manufacturers haven't done more with that idea over the last few years. All of the consoles can support apps, so it would be cool to bring a more of a digital experience to gamers at home during E3 week.

Do these marketing agencies really think professional journalists are waiting around for the coolest swag or most elaborate delivery method for getting new games?

Short version:

Maybe, lol. It just struck me as kind of unnatural.

Does anyone else think that the lead image on this post is weirdly photoshopped? Like that's an absurd amount of space between the thighs.

I've successfully convinced three separate friends to get Wii Us, but it still is a non-existent console to many of my friends who aren't huge gamers but did own a Wii. They'll see it at our house and be like, "What's that thing?" (The GamePad). I think the problem is that the Wii showed people that video games could…

Yeah, that was my concern as well. It also looked like there was screen tearing happening, which doesn't bode well. Hopefully it's just the video capture, but I'll be keeping an eye on the reviews for this one. I want to be really excited for it, but if it plays so jittery like that, it could ruin the experience.

I want to believe.

Liara looks a bit manly, but this is otherwise pretty awesome! I love seeing cool offices.

Such an amazing series. It's cool that Nintendo put together a video like that, although I sort of wish they had taken a bit more of a page out of Sony's playbook and made a video that showed people playing each of the games. I suppose that would have been too close to what Sony did before the PS4 launched, but I just…

It's really hard to watch the middle scene in that GIF. That iPad screen can't look too good after that barrage of claws.

But the reason to do it is not because they have cash reserves. The reason to do it is to make a statement, do the right thing, and be more inclusive. All of those things can indirectly lead to increasing the sales potential of the title. The cash reserves simply provide the means to achieve it.

Well—let's at least let them wait to see how Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. perform on Wii U this year. But then, yeah...they might need this. It amazes me just how much Pokemon games continue to sell (and move systems). But Smash & Kart can do some serious damage, too, I'd wager.

Well, they did say they'd be coming out with some mobile apps that weren't exactly games. Guess they weren't lying! Just one more reason to look forward to Mario Kart 8 later this month.

Nintendo has tons of cash reserves—they could absorb the costs. I'm sure it's not a simple change, but developers change code all the time. You can't tell me Nintendo couldn't fix this if they really wanted to.

An awesome story and an interesting scientific study: mid-evening internet reading doesn't get much better than this! While I can't back up their brain wave findings, I can definitely attest to the fact that humiliation stays with you in a way that most emotions simply do not. That has to be evidence of something.

You know, that's actually pretty cool. I recently wrote a piece on wondering how far we would really want VR to go:

Man...this can't last for much longer without shareholders demanding a change in leadership. That's worrisome in some ways because I respect Iwata's commitment to so much of Nintendo's unique culture, but something needs to change, obviously.
