I read an article in Next Generation magazine back when Gamecube and Xbox were launching, where they compared all 3 consoles head to head.

They literally said that the Gamecube was nowhere near as powerful as EITHER Xbox or the Play fucking station 2!!! They said Nintendo wasn't concerned with power because cartoony games like Mario and Zelda didn't require it, but that the Resident Evil remake did show that the system could be very good at faking it.

No joke..this is really what the article said. Its then and there that I learned you can't always trust the word of people in the gaming business.

Sony and MS released these raw power spec sheets with fillrates and speeds they would never be able to acheive.

Nintendo chose to release a realistic, real world performance tech sheet. Obviously the numbers were far lower.

They were ripped to shreds in the media and since then, they don't release specs to anyone publicly.

I know, but for something like that to be coming out of a "professional" games mag that is supposed to know better than the average joe? That to me was incredible. This was a mag that Matt Cassamassina was also writing in at the time. So obviously they knew better. I rmember Matt C. commenting on that artcle in one of his blogs or the mailbag and saying how disgusted he was.

Honestly, Nintendo should have known better than to release an honest spec sheet a year after Sony and their 70 million polygons a second ps2 able to launch missiles talk.

Aliens actually looks really cool. Haven't checked it out much.

I was looking forward to it, then Duke Nukem Forever came out.

I'm still cautious but optimistic, I'm mainly interested because its one of the few wii u games development we are hearing about and the devs give an insight into the system.

Here's something to think about, even if the Wii U cpu is the same clock speed as the 360 cpu, 30% of the 360's cpu was used for sound conversion according to tech heads writing on GAF. Wii U has a separate sound chip so when everything is optimised, all things being equal, Wii U will still be able to get more out of the CPU than 360 games did.

I'm just glad they will finally have fucking Digital sound. They ARE gonna have digital sound this time? Right? It blows my mind that the Xbox had digital sound 12 years ago and Nintendo never has.

Next Generation magazine was the U.S name/equivalent for EDGE mag way back, the next-gen.biz site eventually was turned into edge-online.

Personally I want Wii U to have mono sound just to piss you off.

Is there even a speaker on the padlet? I don't want to have to plug in headphones everytime I want to use it by itself.

BioWare announces Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut



Free DLC Pack addresses controversial ending.


BioWare has announced the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut, a free download for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that addresses the controversial ending of the game.


It provides "additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes" to the ending, and launches this summer.


The Extended Cut is designed to give players "seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes", BioWare said.


BioWare boss Ray Muzyka commented: "We are all incredibly proud of Mass Effect 3 and the work done by Casey Hudson and team.


"Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding. With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team's artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe."


Executive producer Casey Hudson added: "We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."


The Extended Cut DLC is free up to 12th April 2014, when the offer expires.

I hope not.

Now I'm not interested in Mario Tennis 3DS at all. But these suits are kinda cool

Also DQ10 is looking a little more personable.

Weird stuff.

There should be no sound from the TV at all, just have it all come from the wii remote speaker.

What games did you trade in?

Oh man....that would suck. Steel's non manly balls.

I traded L.A. Noire, Wii Sports, Darksiders 360, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, and No More Heroes 2.

What sucks though is I just realised I left my fucking SD Card in the Wii....WHAT THE FUCK! I wanted that.

I hope I didn't have any profane pictures on it.
