Not to sound like a grumpy old man.

Get. Off. My. Lawn. 

Seriously though, I here it gets better. 

Then. You. Die. 

On the other hand, some scientists think that if you can life another 15 years you could life forever.  (Actually, they say that life expectancy will increase by one year every year.  Your mileage may vary.)

But the real question is, why can't it even fold?

It's a sign of things to come.  Think, Nintendo combines the old GBA form with the newer iPad form.  Look up my post correctly predicting the Wii U controller to see what I mean. 

I suspect the next iteration will not fold and be an amalgam of the Wii U and 2DS with a throwback and a new feature.  Maybe they'll go back to 3D or analog triggers and/or add something cheap and new like GPS, head/eye tracking, or a vitality sensor.  Remind me when we a closer to a new handheld and I'll try to make a better prediction. 

Edit:  To save searching:  http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=13669.msg597805#msg597805  Also, remind me when I have had the appropriate amount of prognosticary liquid.

Nintendo will reduce the price of the Wii U deluxe set from $349.99 to $299.99, effective 20 September. The company will also release a Wii U bundle featuring The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, a remake of the 2003 game, that will also be available on 20 September for $299.99.

WTH?  Nintendo previously thought price wasn't the issue when the basic wasn't selling and now they are going to offer a deluxe at the same price point as one that includes a bundled game?  What are they going to conclude when TLoZ bundle sells out and a lot of sans TLoZ systems are overstocked? 

I hope this is bad journalism or a mistaken interpretation on my part.

... I found it funny because I read it wrong the first time.

Not sig related, but your post reminded me of a store sign I saw again today:  MARLO.  I read it as MARIO everytime.

After playing Fortix 2 I drove a slightly different route to take my daughter to tutoring and thought, "If I drive back around the other way I can capture this area." 

BTW, I've enjoyed Fortix better than expected based on the reviews, but I have a little nostalgia from playing Qix on Atari 5200 when I was a kid.

They only sold about half their stock yesterday so the deal will be available until they sell out. 

BTW, I bought two sets of the figures and an engraving pen yesterday.  I've previously bought mystery boxes, cell phone accessories, and glow-in-the-dark rocks from their site.

Living life as a turtle meant I could live a long time. I'd have plenty of time to accomplish all of my goals. Throughout my life I had gathered riches, built castles, and attained more power than any other turtle before me. That was all great, but what I wanted more than anything was a wife; someone to spend time with and care about.
It was over twenty years ago when I found the woman of my dreams. However, she never loved me back. I tried desperately for years to get her to enjoy her time with me. I took her on all sorts of special dates- underwater, in space, in one of my many homes.
But every time I've tried to take her out, some god awful plumber shows up, occasionally bringing his good-for-nothing friends, and spoils my time. I haven't quite figured him out after all this time, but I think he's jealous of me.
For example, last week I took the girl of my dreams for a go-kart ride up to my castle since she loves the view up there. Next thing I knew, the plumber found me and was trying to smash my head in with his feet! He stole my woman from me, and left me to die. My shell was cracked, my love was taken away again, and the man with the mustache smiled.
