Such a spirited old dragon.

Where is the Iwata quote?

LOL.. okay John.. thank you for a wonderful and interesting post sir.. I don't entirely agree with you.. but I still loved it all the same.. and I guess.. welcome back..

Getting the second wave of info ready, but I think I'll give it a few days to put the discussion on pause while we give Yamauchi time his moment of silence.

In a few days time I'll be posting the information of Wii U's graphical capabilities.

Didn't you have already? xD Thought you wanted to make a more detailed comparison between the 3 big console manufacturer or so...

(Edit: Sry for double post, can someone please delete the one above? I don't know how ^^)

Yeah but tons more info has been coming in and sadly I didn't have it all ready by then, the conversation is ongoing and more info is released as the consoles get closer to release. Got more stuff to pass through my tech guy recently and I'll have another (hopefully smaller) post with even more info supporting that on th top of Page 33 (If anyone's not read it, be a good time to do so now).

Also, yes more talk on the big three inbound. Stick around for it...

Well Shin'en's your go to on that?

Yeah that was a cool interview with them.

A very good Nintendo podcast, but what i found really interesting is that there will be a major Nintendo announcement coming next week, which the editors are not allowed to talk about. What could it be?

Apperantly its so big ign will dedicate an entire episode of NVC in relation to this announcement. 

What I like about the Nintendo Wii U is that game programmers again are forced to tickle the last "bit and byte"“ out of the machine. This is reminiscent of the old 8 and 16 bit time where resources were very limited and game programmers had to find tricks how to make out more of the limited hardware.

Beginning with X-Box and GCN, the hardware was very rarely brought to the absolute limit from then on. Probably only Killzone 3 really came close to the maximum capability of the PS 3.

I believe in general better games are made if the game developers are forced to be creative with a limited hardware than when they just live in luxury and have "unlimited" horsepower to use. Imagine (if financials and profits wouldn't be an issue) if they just have to made games for high end computers (i. e. the very expensive ones not even the hardcore gamer has at home), do you really think we would get better games?
