What game are you playing on a Nintendo console at the moment?

[The Tomtrek]

I'm legitimately impressed at how Nintendo has managed to take one of the best looking handhelds (from an aesthetics perspective anyway) and turn it into one of the worst looking handhelds.

Don't they ever do any consumer research? This is reminiscent of a failed concept you'd see from a particularly inept team on The Apprentice.

I think now that Steve Jobs is dead, designers are just giving up all over.

Remember when there was a mini Gameboy or something? That was probably cool actually.

They should just make the GameBoy chassis again but with modern internal technology.

“The digital version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will also launch on Sept. 20, while the packaged version launches Oct. 4 with distinctive gold-foil packaging, both at a suggested retail price of $49.99."

[The Tomtrek]

Yeah, but, distinctive gold-foil packaging.

Hiroshi Yamauchi died.

He was a great man.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Remember that time he has Gunpei Yokoi murdered?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Is that a real thing.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I googled -- it depends on who you ask.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I think if you're head of Nintendo for fifty years you get a few free murders anyway.

I have been playing Children of Mana on the DS. I already played it once but it took me 4 years because I could only play it in the summer when my sister and her kids visited but my niece gave me her DS and the game and I just wanted to play it all at once like you're supposed to. Now I'm almost finished and I need to find some other game to play. MAYBE I'LL READ A BOOK.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I don't actually think Yamauchi had Yokoi murdered, but it's not inconceivable. The old fart had Yakuza ties.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Doesn't every successful Japanese businessman?

Gunstar Heroes (Wii Virtual Console) - I got this MEGA DRIVE game because I've enjoyed the previous Treasure games I've played (well, the Sin and Punishment games...I can't remember if I've played any others.) It's a lot of fun!
