Rip your shirt off, grease yourself up and walk menacingly towards the front of the line. You'll get in.

All about Nintendo and how they will be just fine in the future. His giant slow elephant analogy is perfect. LOL

Quite funny, Mario Kart Wii sales > entire Halo series? That is insane.

Neogaf had a 50 page thread about the buttonless GC pad LOL

I was playing more Arkham City last night, finding Mr Freeze. Actually enjoying it a bit more. I think first time through the environment is quite busy and the detective mode is not really very good at identifying critical objects all the time. So you waste a lot of time looking about and stuff. Seeing how I played the section before I knew what I was doing and just got into a groove.

New sku


White Wii U 32GB

Nintendo has confirmed a new Premium SKU for its Wii U console. The system will be released in white with 32GB of internal memory — a configuration which was previously only available in black. It launches in Japan on July 13th for 31,500 Yen (that's about $312 / £206).


New accessories have also been revealed. The Wii Remote is finally getting an official rechargeable battery, along with a "Fast Charge" dock. The battery and the dock will retail for 4,200 Yen (approximately $41 / £27) or you can pay 2,625 Yen ($26 / £17) for just the battery itself.


Speaking of batteries, the GamePad is getting an official 2550mAh battery pack which will boost its stamina up to eight hours, according to Nintendo. It will cost 3,150 Yen (about $31 / £20) when it hits Japanese store shelves.



Wii Remote Charger

Finally, Nintendo is releasing Nintendo Land in a bundle pack with a Wii Remote.



Nintendo Land bundle

There's no word on when these items will be coming to the west, but when we know, you'll know too.

I don't understand where som of these companies are coming up with this shit when they say they think this new generation of consoles is going to be so much more successful than last gen. How so? Unless they are much cheaper, which given what Wii U costs doesn't seem likely, I don't see this happening.

Yeah I'm less and less a fan of Amazon as time goes on. The only thing it really seems to have going for it are the wish lists. Hopefully you get it tomorrow... or today.... damn time zones.

I did this just now.  I hate it when a company puts you through long list after long list of FAQs before they finally and very reluctantly let you contact them.  Pisses me right off.

Not going to lie, I'm sorta interested in this.

"There are over 100 characters to choose from in game, and TT Games are keen to ensure that each one behaves true to their comic book self and different from the others. We got to see The Hulk, Bruce Banner, Iron Man and Spider-Man in action, and true to their word TT Games have made them all play just as you’d expect. Spider-Man is armed with his web-swinging ability and spider-sense, Iron Man can fly and shoot repulsor blasts, and no-one smashes better than the Hulk"

Oh man, that's like asking if a gorgeous girl is better looking in an evening gown or in sexy jeans and a t-shirt.

I really love both.  Personally I listened to the Adrian Younge production first.  It's very theatrical, full of retro fuzzy analog synths, 70ies horror/slasher influences and soul backing vocals.  It's wonderful.

The Apollo Brown productions do away with most of the 70ies horror influences and references and are like wonderfully amazing if somewhate understated hiphop productions (I'm told Apollo Brown is as highly revered as Dilla by some people).

Don't know what to say about which to try first but I'm very excited about you listening to both.

And none of them even came close to outselling the PS2....or even the PS1?

Top 10 best selling games consoles, according to Wiki:

  1. Sony Playstation 2. 155 Million
  2. Sony Playstation.    102 million
  3. Nintendo Wii            99 million
  4. Microsoft Xbox 360   77 Million
  5. Sony Playstation 3   77 Million
  6. Nintendo NES          62 Million
  7. Super Nintendo        49 million
  8. SEGA Genesis        40 million
  9. Nintendo 64             32 Million
  10. Atari 2600                30 million

So very interesting....PS2 and PS1 were near monopolies....competing consoles weren't even close. This last generation was the most even saleswise since the Genesis/SNES days.....PS3 and 360 virtually deadlocked which isn't shocking seeing as they share 99% of the same games.

For how much of a success people remember the Xbox as, it only sold slightly more than the Gamecube. Xbox was #11 at 24 million, while Gamecube was #12 at 22 million....they both got destroyed by the PS2. Yet everyone thinks of Cube as a failure and Xbox as a great success...odd.

Dreamcast sold 10 million and Saturn sold 9 million...not much difference there.

So the PS2 era was:

  1. PS2 155 million
  2. Xbox 24 million
  3. Gamecube 22 million
  4. Dreamcast 10 million

PS1 era:

  1. PS 102 million
  2. N64  32 million
  3. Saturn  9 million

No wonder Sony was so arrogant.

That's always annoyed me, because realistically they both got steamrolled by PS2. Peception becomes reality - GC lost 3rd party support towards the end so message board gamers remember the xbox as a better machine. But the unit sales were similar.

LOL....what are the map packs going to be like for that Call Of Duty?

That Killer Instinct Xbox One rumor, I'm almost 100% sure that is the "great revival" Rare IP  that Microsoft keeps talking about. Simply because that is the only game in Rare's back catalog that I ever see them talking about, and frankly its the only one that they can really bastardise with KINECT SUPPORT!!! They are going to rape that IP and toss it in a sewer drain, mark my words.

Personally, I always thought that was one of Rare's most overrated titles so its kind of sad that is what they choose to have them work on above all else.
