But that's more interesitng than the story! Japanese crotch-breast porn is Japanese porn that even Steel would like!
Q: You've stated many times that you're convinced there is a Wii HD coming. What are the incentives you see for Nintendo to actually make such a move? Nintendo can't realistically expect 50 million+ Wii owners to upgrade to another new console can they?
Nintendo can't afford to allow any potential PS3 or Xbox 360 buyer to pass up a Nintendo product in favor of the better graphics and more feature rich gameplay offered by the others. Many commentators continually state that "graphics don't matter." I completely disagree.
If one has a standard definition TV (that's 2/3 of U.S. households and 80% of European households), perhaps they don't care, since the graphics difference isn't quite as striking. However, when a household gets an HDTV, all they think about is HD content. There's a reason why every network has switched to HD programming, and it's not about being charitable.
Once the majority of households have HDTV (this should be year-end 2010 in the U.S. and year-end 2012 in Europe), the majority of households with consoles will begin to appreciate the inferior display offered by Wii games. The gameplay is great, but the experience would be more enjoyable in HD. Further, while Nintendo has its phenomenal first party lineup, third party games tend to be made "for" the Wii, and they're just not as good as the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. Many games (GTA?) aren't made for the Wii at all. Ultimately, the Wii audience will grow more sophisticated, and will want games like BioShock and GTA, and they won't be offered on a Nintendo platform unless the platform can process content similar to what is offered on a 360 or PS3. That requires a hardware upgrade.
Who knows when? It will happen when Nintendo sees its lead eroding. They're still in first place, and likely will remain there with a $50 price cut. However, once they can make a Wii HD (I prefer Wii Plus) and price competitively with the 360 and PS3, they can legitimately say that nobody should ever buy either competitor device, since they will get all Nintendo first party titles plus comparable quality third party games. Of course, Microsoft will argue (likely successfully) that Xbox Live is a differentiator, and Sony will push Blu-ray, first party and PSN as differentiators. I think that Nintendo MUST do this to remain competitive, and think it's a fall 2010 event, driven by a need to respond to the introduction of Natal and the Sony Wand.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileTop story Monday:
"New study says graphics unimportant"
Top story Wednesday:
"Pachter says Wii HD coming -- graphics very important"

Sadly like two of you will get it.
I knew the Plaxico thing was coming, yet I still laugh.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI'm ashamed to say I got most of it.
Didn't find it funny, though.
He actuallly makes sense in his response. I disagree, but at least now I know where he is coming from.Currently I am limited to 64kbps because of the telco monopoly in this country, or I would ask him, "Is the PSP Go a trial baloon? Will it see mass distribution?"
LOL!
Since Monday I have started adding "Wii HD" coming to every Pachter story I post. Sad thing is, one day Nintendo will go HD and then Pachter will claim he's right.
Hence he will be seen as the oracle. That man is shameless, but clever
Please specifically tell me if it cuts down on the control complexity of Partners in time. Using all the face buttons for 4 characters in battle got annoying to me. As well as incessent character switching.
DsiWare? Isn't WiiWare the smarter option? Damn Dsi. There was gba version surely? I saw pics and heard people talking about it.
Very interesting Tales info there Vader, thanks. Good on Sony for demanding extra content. MS wanted to push JRPGs on 360 remember and they still dont do well in Japan. Oh and Wii Plus?! Fucking Pachter!
OMG I remember that thing. Magnifier, extra lighting and a speaker boost.
Wii needs something like that
Some thing that looks like the Doc from Back to the Future made it, and strap it to the front.

Also, Mario and Luigi Bowsers inside story seems to be a critical darling.
From the 1up review:
"the latest Mario & Luigi is quite simply the best Mario RPG to date -- and I say this as an ardent fan of Paper Mario. All the elements gel perfectly here: The characters, the combat, the game flow, the dialogue. More than that, this is a game that revels in simply being a game. It celebrates the best parts of both role-playing and Mario games while mercilessly lampooning their worst habits. It's absolutely brimming with exuberance. "
Telstra has to split!
STD!
Yeah, in later issues there are ads from STD and they change their name to something else, but point out to everyone "Formerly known as STD" -- as if it had built up such great cred.
Jeremy Parish reviewed it for them, if anyone was wondering. (here's some more)
"I can't say enough good things about how effectively developer Alpha Dream has made use of the game's combat system. Although Inside Story employs the same mechanics as the first two Mario & Luigi games, the whole affair feels far more polished this time around. There's a tangible difference between Mario and Bowser's fighting styles, and the game rewards players who possess good reflexes and a sharp eye. You can boost attacks with precisely timed button presses, and dodge enemies by reacting properly to their strikes"
So what dont you like about the art here Archangel?
I find it really endearing.
I watched a bit more Rabbids level 2 video. It's okay, once I came to terms with it not being a platformer or adventure game. It seems kinda fun but very simplistic unfortunately. I think it may get very repetitive.
it's one of the best things ever on TV. let me know what you think of the ending. i thought it was the most fitting

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Well it's mostly the Rabbids themselves but the artstyle in general is something I just don't care for. That pic is something that just doesn't do anything for me.So artistically what games are your favourites?
Oh I don't know I like pretty much most things in general. Some of my favourites though are Anime like Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, Dragon Quest VIII, etc. I also really enjoy the cartoony such as Fable II and the Warcraft games and the semi-realistic such as Gears of War, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, etc.Great find Aspro! I had something very similar to this. I don't remember who made it, but it was a light/magnifier combo with button extensions (mine lacked the sweet speakers). Mind was also horrible to use because the way the magnifyer/light attached to the screen it created a shadow on the screen. It was small vertical band of about one centimeter on the right side, and it made that section nearly impossible to see. But if you wanted to play the Gameboy in a dark car ride at night that was your only option - 15% loss of visibility on the screen.
