sorry, only joking there, just never met an adult who was excited about Nintendo releasing anything since Goldeneye

This is a normal post I'm pretty sure there are several million other people looking forward to the Nintendo press conference.
I like games and technology and Nintendo are the industries innovators.

I hope that answers your query.

This is a normal post I don't actually own a Wii and I'm no fanboy to any particular brand.
But any big announcement by Nintendo is usually a game-changer.

This is a normal post yes, fingers crossed for yet another Mario and cutesy dog simulator

This is a normal post That's a given.
But more than likely a new control system or form of interactivity that will later be copied by Microsoft and Sony as we saw with Kinect and Move.

This is a normal post Playstation move predates the wii (it was part of the early version of Eyetoy)
and the Eyetoy obviously predates the kinect
but I'm not being a ps3 fanboy there.
Just don't think any platform has done anything revolutionary that worked (and wasn't just a peripheral selling gimmick) in a very long time

This is a normal post I'm pretty sure the Wii popularized motion controls whether parts of the technology existed before it or not.

This is a normal post i totally lost all affection
for nintendo when they punished me for being a good player in EVERY wii game in the name of balance...

now my girlfriend thinks our gaming skillset is the same "i beat you at mario kart everytime"

But pedantry aside, I'm genuinely excited!

Fingers crossed that they're not too far behind the curve..

This is a normal post there's a suggestion that Epic have made a simplified Unreal Engine for them
so behind yes, but not by as much from the sounds of things

This is a normal post I find it hard to get exited by the upcomming generation of consoles
Xbox 360 had 3 die on me, PS3 had one die and all my details nicked in the hack, wii.... well that lasted.
Not bought a wii game in years though since wii fit demoralised me into a dark fat funk though.

Now discovering the simple joys of P.C gaming on steam. Games are chip as chips there.

This is a normal post Yes I became bored of the Wii rather quickly.
Got pissed off with the 360 after having two fail.

Now have a PS3, but wish I'd got another 360.

I've recently discovered OnLive* and like it bigbig.

*I don't work for them, even if I mention them alot.

This is a normal post 3 Xboxes, 2 PS2's, and innumerable of the newer Apple products lately, all just keep bloody failing,
could someone remind the industry it's nice if the damn things work!? I've certainly lost all faith in Apple in the last few years for certain, their USP now just seems to be 'Look, it's by us!', altho their various iPod's and iTunes still seem to work lovely together.

I think my fave consoles are the Xbox 360 (second hand ones now) and the original PS1, I dunno why I've got a soft spot for the last one but I would guess 'cos it was my first console crush and playing it again always takes me back.

I can't think of anything I've heard of I've gotten excited about since the 3D DS but even then I'm not interested enough to actually want one, I just wanna see one going and see what it's like.

This is a normal post but if they work you won't need to buy a new one
Still got my day of release PS2 working
PS3 died after 3 years, but I got a full replacement from Amazon with a large chunk of money back thanks to the difference in price since launch - kaching!
(, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 16:54, , Reply)
This is a normal post If it's still under warranty neither will I
and they stump up the costs of replacing it numerous times!

After that, well they get nowt back off'of second hand sales and I wouldn't be daft enough to buy another new one, so can't see it working well as general policy, really.

This is a normal post It's a shame I can't get excited about anything nintendo develops these days
I just don't think I'm in their demographic any more...

Might just save my pennies for the strangely named PS-Vita if I get anything at all...

This is a normal post The Vita looks like it's my next thing too
Still have me PSP, although mainly for all the homebrew rather than the full games

This is a normal post Really excited for this.
While I don't love everything Ninty do, as long as they keep making Zelda games I'll always be interested. They have some excellent franchises and they're never afraid to do unusual, unexpected things with them. Despite their foray into the casual market in more recent times, they are definitely the most innovative of the 'big three'.

This is a normal post some nice stuff there for the Wii U
Screen controller is nice, would like to see how good it's drawing ability is.
Glad its all backward compatible though, all the old peripherals aren't landfill just yet :)

the bird/cherry blossom demo is lovely

This is a normal post Looks different; like an interactive gaming iPad
Most probs will stick with the Vita, but it looks interesting regardless.

This is a normal post Tekken looked very low res, but it's early I guess
much better than I was expecting, they've clearly listened to the complaints.
