Video Game Chat / Do you feel like you own your digital content?*
« on: September 12, 2012, 07:12:24 PM »
A few years ago I would have said no, but know that Steam and some systems (home and portable) have let me keep my digital copies with new computers/systems I have to say that have more ownership and usefulness from my digital copies than from my disc/cart/etc copies. For example, my Steam games are playable on any PC. Can't say that for my once only registerable CD copies of games for PC. My DSi digital downloads were transferred to 3DS. I can't even play my hard copy of PS2 titles on a new PS3, but the digital version will play on any PS3.

I could blame hardware manufacturers for not making every system backwards compatible with old titles in their original format, but in the end a digital copy if playable on the "new" system is "good-enough" for me. In the future I hope the paradigm is to be able to buy content on any device/system and play it on any other device/system.

I'm not ready for the digital-only paradigm yet, but I can see it's appeal and my eventual conversion.

*With respect to a banned fiend on NeoGAF.

Video Game Chat / What does Nintendo have up its sleeve?
« on: June 16, 2012, 04:39:33 PM »
“First, what we’ve shown at the E3 show are both the launch titles that will be released with Wii U hardware this holiday season and the launch window titles that will be released early next year or not long after the hardware launch. We do have ideas of what kind of software we will be releasing after those two periods, and Mr. Miyamoto as well as I are both directly involved in the development process. Those include both our traditional franchises and of course new propositions as well. However, because we are now in the era when similar proposals can be made by the others just one year after we introduced a brand-new hardware system proposal, please understand that we really can’t say much about what else we are planning.” - Iwata

What is Retro's project? 

Star Fox? 

What is planned for NFC?  Mario and Zelda figurines? 

Super Smash Bros. 4? 

Wii U AND 3DS? 

Why the Animal Crossing 3DS silence? 

Social Gaming? 

EA Games holding out? 

DS Player? 

GCN downloads?

Professor Layton 3DS/Wii U? 

The Legend of Zelda Wii U? 

Miyamoto's FPS???

An 8-bit video-game character attempts to shed his bad-guy image by escaping into a popular first-person shooter, but inadvertently wreaks havoc in the video-game universe by freeing a digital villain.

How many video-game characters can you name in the trailer?

Sticks!  Changed orientation.  Gray Wii U logo.  Light up Home button.  What's the square under the  d-pad?  A vitality sensor, near field communication, or touch pad like the new Microsoft mouse scroll?  What's the square button between the battery light and power button? 

Possible comparison based on patent images:












Comparison to E3 layout: 


Edit:  Looks like the original image is gone so I rehosted it above and attached it below.

I may have rose tinted glasses when discussing previous Mario titles.  For this reason I have decided to replay the core/canon Mario series games, but have found many different lists of what is core/canon.  What do you consider the core/cannon or main line of Mario games?

Video Game Chat / Adam Sessler leaves G4TV
« on: April 25, 2012, 02:46:29 PM »
"Television personality Adam Sessler and TV network G4 are parting ways, with Adam's last episode as host of G4's "X-Play" airing on the network today, Wednesday, April 25. Adam has been hosting the show since it first aired as ZDTV's "Gamespot TV" in July 1998 and he also served as Editor In Chief of games content at G4. His current projects include starring as himself in the Summer 2012 movie "noobz" and consulting with a film production company on theatrical feature adaptations of video games. Adam intends to stay in front of the camera and continue as a key voice within the games industry. He also sings and is available for weddings and bar mitzvahs."

I have a lot of respect for Adam Sessler for this:  http://www.g4tv.com/videos/55954/sesslers-soapbox-i-hate-numbers/  And wish him well in his future endeavors.

The percent difference may be slightly higher based on new research, but this is still fascinating and disturbing.

After reading the title and starting the video I felt emotion starting to build.  My daughter walked in and ask why they were stopping and why they were getting out of their cars.  My tears had already welled up and when I tried to explain I couldn't.  All I got out was, "A long time ago..."  Then I cried and reached out to hug her, but she was already leaving to see what her mother was doing.

How do you explain the holocaust to a five-year-old?
