7th Level? Ugh, that's probably why. They cranked out a bunch of PC games that were good looking in screenshots but played like shit.

And THAT is where tl;dr will get you. BOOM YOU BASTARDS!

You most likely didn't see it because a lot of people were shitting on Sony hard for the prices they launched at. I didn't even consider a PS3 until they dropped the price later on.

Ice burn from fucking orbit.

Yeah, I know. Well, later on in syndication it would sometimes appear there but it started weekdays. That's really not the point of the image.

On the first play, sure. After that the PS4 loads the game just as quickly as the Wii U. It's really not an issue after that.

The packaging shifted and the system was marketed more as "PS3" than by it's full name. The US boxes clearly show that evolution.

Holy shit. I can't wait to see that in action!

Obviously it should open with this sound...

The contents of the game itself are protected by COPYRIGHT law. It's TRADEMARK law that protects the names / logos. And if you actually get a mechanic that is truly unique enough to protect, I would imagine that patents would come into play at that point.

Did he actually start playing it or did he not realize he was just holding the controller and watching the demo play? No idea how you can get bored playing a Mario game.

Nintendo didn't do analog first. Not even close...

Sadly, they'll probably just end up with a letter from a lawyer now that it will gain a lot of attention.

It's probably not too hard to sample enough to get a loop as the original cartoon had long sections without anything but music.

Man, I wish these guys luck but we've heard this same song from McQuaid before and it ended badly. It'll have to be a wait and see.

Kind of reminds me of the cases in Inception that they used to put people to sleep.

The ones at Dave & Busters do take a card. It's actually a rechargeable "credit card" you fill with credits then you just swipe it at the machine you want to start playing.

Nintendo Force Magazine kind of took the torch from Nintendo Power when it closed down last year. http://www.nfmagazine.com/
