That's why I put "genius" in quotes.

By sheer size, it is the biggest thing!

This was known before it launched. Nintendo's "genius" reasoning was that the consumer would already have a charger from owning a DSi/DSi XL. However, The US chargers don't accept 220 V sources common in Europe, so maybe the US power adapter is just significantly cheaper because of this.

Apparantly, the table is $50,000. As cool as it is, that's more than a nice car.

Aren't portables supposed to be, you know, portable? This thing is so ugly, and the controls placed so awkwardly, I just hope it fails for the sake of the consumers. And there looks to be a ton of wasted space.

"Obviously we want to drive Wii U momentum," Fils-Aime said of the reasoning behind the price drop. "We've been very clear that software is what drives hardware. And we feel very good about the line-up of software for Wii U. Taking the added step to improve the value just reinforces our commitment to make sure that…

I have the Cherry MX Brown, and I love it. Great balance between typing and gaming. I'll never go back to a cheap keyboard. I type fast on any keyboard, but I can more consistently get past 100 wpm on this.

Sadly, my first thought when I learned of the news was "It's slightly better than Ryan Renolds."

True. Summer is still way better than a birthday right around Christmas.

I'm not sure if I'm glad or sad that you beat me to this.

There's a difference between software enabled LEDs and hardware enabled LEDs. AFAIK, the former is much more common with professionally designed devices. Which means you can have software enable the camera and mic, while disabling the LEDs. That's what I don't like.

There's also a ton of things that cause fatigue. I'm also told not to have caffeine. Whenever I travel east, I'm dead.

No offense, but the new annotation feature is kinda pointless and distracting.

Pfft. My birthday is smack in the middle of summer. I didn't even have the chance to forget to hand invitations out at school.

The difference is that the Kinect would likely be pointed towards me when I'm sitting by the TV. My phone camera would be pointed down at a table when I don't use it, and away from me when I am using it. I'd feel more comfortable if there were LEDs in series with the camera/mic when they're enabled, however.

When new enemies appear, it'd change the screen to a book entry with the name and a stylized image of the monster, and roughly how highly it's ranked. It pauses, but resumes back to the action pretty quickly.

I hope they were given something mature due to it's depth, as well as gore-fest games, personally. While not a game, the first thing to come to mind was the Ghost in the Shell movie. It obviously had violence, and the nudity was done tastefully too. It's a mature themed work of art without being mature just to be…

Oh please, I gamed online since I was 14. People thought I was 30 back then.

Bayonetta did it, but I loved it in Bayonetta.

I am disappointed at the lack of C-C-C-Combo breaker.
