The new next-gen 2013 Xbox reveal (discussions here)

[Police Girl]

That is true.

But anything is more visually appealing than an Xbox One.

Except maybe a CD-I.

[Protoman Blues]

Meh, I have no problem with either the name or the look of the X-Box Uno.

It's everything else.

[Sakura Leic]

I'm fine with the look, but it looks more like a blue ray player rather than a game console though the controller hasn't changed much other than what looks like a weird bump on top.  The name however sounds stupid.

[Police Girl]

Most people have said it looks like a Betamax player.

The controller looks fine, though I hate how Microsoft's buttons are flipped compared to the Nintendo layout.

[Hypershell]

Is the Wii U even worth it in this period of time?

It seems like the really stellar games haven't even come out yet.

Well, it's not uncommon for people to buy a platform as an investment in its future.  I mean, pretty much everyone who got a 3DS when it launched was doing that.

I'd say with the WiiU the problem is less the sum total of what is there and more the fact that outside of Monster Hunter it was basically all there since launch, hence "momentum" bit the system in its ass.  After all is said and done, Super Mario Bros. is still "the" definitive WiiU game (and make no mistake, it's a hell of a lot better than the unfortunately timed 3DS title).  But if that's not enough, then by all means, keep waiting.  We're rapidly closing on E3 and its accompanying Nintendo Directs; more is on the way.



Logic errors are fun, let's have a few.

First, let's fix the incomplete information by giving the same incomplete information.  I guess Microsoft figures that if they use the same line often enough, someone might eventually buy it.  

Second, Sony of course taught us that companies lie about their systems, so I guess it stands to reason that Microsoft might lie about the cloud.  Of course, we already KNOW that they are lying if they're continuing to allege that the cloud opens up infinite possibilities even though games are supposed to work without it for up to a day at a time.  So...yeah.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I've never had one. My original PSX still works. I even modded it so I could play imports. I imported Rockman 3 Complete Works for it.

[VixyNyan]

That is true.

But anything is more visually appealing than an Xbox One.

Hey now wait a minute.

CD-i games are totally playable, because I says so.

[Reaperoid]

Xbox One: Totally Unplayable "because I says so"

[Police Girl]

Hey now wait a minute.

CD-i games are totally playable, because I says so.

You know I meant the console's outward appearance, right?

[VixyNyan]

It's so pretty~

And it's region-free and plays games copied on CD-R discs without any problems~

[Sakura Leic]

That controller is a spoon.

[Police Girl]

Or a dippy looking remote control.

[VixyNyan]

And it can totally play Zelda and Mario games just fine.

[Protoman Blues]

So that's what it looks like! Neat!

[Police Girl]

And it can totally play Zelda and Mario games just fine.

I don't consider non-nintendo made Zelda and Mario games as real Mario and Zelda games.

[Sakura Leic]

So that's what it looks like! Neat!

Wait till you see a 3DO.

[Quickman]

There is just something to be said about the Atari Jaguar's giant button-laden controller.  I've never actually gotten to play one, but I would like to.  There's got to be some sort of strange magic to playing with what amounts to being a small keyboard.

[Flame]

I don't consider non-nintendo made Zelda and Mario games as real Mario and Zelda games.

Soooo The Metroid Prime games..?

[Police Girl]

Soooo The Metroid Prime games..?

Games made with Nintendo properties that are not on Nintendo Consoles.

So... the Mario Edutainment games and the CDI titles.

[Mr. Haxwell]

Seemed appropriate enough to be posted here.

Anyway, I still lol'd at this [parasitic bomb].

They are just calling us sheep now.

[Sakura Leic]

I think we need that giant toilet now.

[Mr. Haxwell]

I think we need that giant toilet now.

Yes, so that I can puke every ounce of stomach acid, I have left, down it.

[Sakura Leic]

Yes, so that I can puke every ounce of stomach acid, I have left, down it.

Nah more so to flush Mircosoft's console reputation down the drain.

[Mr. Haxwell]

Nah more so to flush Mircosoft's console reputation down the drain.

Oh, I thought you meant the console was the toilet, my bad.
