You shouldn't feel bad.

I wonder what the response might be if someone was shown something that looked almost human.

I think it would be quite easy to make it profitable.

I think you are quite correct, unfortunately.

I meant it to be more of a publicity stunt of sorts.

I'm still not sure why NOA thinks it's not worth it to bring the games here. It doesn't take a a marketing genius to know that bringing over the games that passionate fans really want would make your company more popular and increase sales.

Dear Nintendo Investors,

Why stop at Zelda? Why not bundle a few of the most popular NES games with the system.

Still wanting a Mario version of Risk.

I must say I am intrigued.

It's not about semantics at all. One is seeing or hearing what happens to someone else, the other is having it happen to you. HUGE DIFFERENCE. Is watching someone go on a date the same thing as going on one yourself? or is that semantics as well?

I don't doubt that he was criticizing narrative games, but I also do not think that he was knocking the potential for narrative games. Narrative games by current definition are little more than movies with mini games or "missions" tossed in to keep you from getting to bored with its half-assed story.

I didn't mean to say that a game could not have a story, it obviously does. The important thing is how you structure that story. You are not telling it, you are making it possible to be experienced. Half Life and Ico are both terrific examples of exactly what I was trying to describe, they are linear stories yes, but…

Mr. Allen I think you have a lack of understanding of your own medium. I may be a lowly Digipen student, but I can explain the basic principle of what Will Wright is saying since you clearly don't get it.

@hollowbody57: If you check out the Sifteo page under the "developers" page it says that they are actually working on an SDK right now.

@Demonbird: Supposedly it's meant to be open to third-party developers. Evidently they are working on an SDK. No word on if it will be free or even available for private use.

I'm seeing a lot of distaste for this, mostly from people who seem to think that this is meant to compete with PCs and laptops.

Given to the right kid an iPhone/Pad/Pod could be an awesome learning tool. There are all kinds of apps that can turn those suckers into a lot different of things.

@GohanEgret: Why do I get the sense that you are snickering and laughing at me?

@BMT: I was hoping no one would mention Kirby's pinball.
