Will this revolution be televised?   I wished they took a look at themselves and noticed how silly they look.  Are these the same guys I always play against in Uncharted 2?

No, but it's clearly going to be youtubed.

Does anyone know when THE REVOLUTION will begin? We can do a podcast!!

Um, couldn't they have used Twin Snakes?

As I said before, Nintendo funded and published it as a GC exclusive and got second party Silicon Knights to develop it. Kojima was like an outside producer. Konami don't have rights to the code, only the code to the PS1 game. Similar situation to Goldeneye N64 and how Microsoft can't put it on XBLA.

Square "considering" Final Fantasy on Wii 2? That's pretty much the only major franchise that hasn't at least made an appearance on Nintendo hardware in the past 10 years, and it baffles me. Why are they only considering it?

Crystal Chronicles, which has chronically underwhelmed. They had a decent idea with Crystal Bears, but didn't execute it well enough. If Nintendo let the Zelda team help them out a bit it could have been awesome.

Regular media coverage of gaming... sigh... this is from a story about the Australian "ESRB" looking into Dead or Alive for 3DS: (How fucking clueless can you be to confuse video games with CARTOONS?)

"Can cartoons be porn?"

Such a load of shit on the cartoon obscenity laws being introduced. If I draw a picture of someone robbing a bank, a bank hasn't actually been robbed. It's pencil on paper.

If they want a revolution they should fight back against the organised Chinese govt hackers who think they can do what the hell they want and pretend it didn't happen.

There is a story out that the 3DS firmware upgrade improved the way DS games look on the system.

First pic is before the firmware, second is after.

To me it looks like the second pic has bigger black borders which means that it's probably more in ratio than before where the pic is stretched out across the screen.

At least I give Anonymous credit for using that awesome song from the end of Mortal Kombat the movie on their video.  I love how every thing they do brings us closer to a policed internet, great job Anonymous. Idiots.

GG OoT was complex cause it was the first, TP has the tougher dungeons. Except for the water temple which was a mess.

Robin!

So you know that Wii U Japanese garden tech demo? It's actually twice as impressive as you thought.

At the very end you can see a tad more of the demo, where the falcon hops on the snow.

Edit: And here:

I guess that is the very end of the demo.

Going by these, the system is actually rendering the whole scene twice. I thought the TV view would also change when you move the controller around to control the camera and the system would just transmit the TV view as a streamed downsampled video to the pad, with relatively negligible demands from the hardware. Here the camera angle is different on the TV and completely independent on the pad, something that could only be done by rendering the scene separately for each display. That's pretty sweet, no wonder there are frame drops.

I was talking about real Final Fantasy games though.

"It actually weighs less than the universally praised Xbox 360 controller. I simply cannot understand how Nintendo managed to pack so many things into such a light unit"

Yeah everything except a battery.
