I only remember SMG from last year's conference and that it put a smile on my face with how amazing it was.
Riiiight Pee Dee. I doubt you're gonna see a lot of 3rd party wii shit, because 3rd party wii shit doesn't sell.
I think I boxed that out, like a Cylon.I only remember SMG from last year's conference and that it put a smile on my face with how amazing it was.
How can you possibly forget the trainwreck that was WiiFit? That was what was awesome.
Riiiight Pee Dee. I doubt you're gonna see a lot of 3rd party wii shit, because 3rd party wii shit doesn't sell. In fact, there could be more useless crap peripherals shown than actual quality, AAA potential 3rd party games.
Also, does EB have an IRC channel or does everyone just hang out in GAF's?

I'm disappointed Triumph. Sarcasm is your strong suit
i'm gonna put my "over/under for exclusive third party titles" guess at...2
I'd like to see KH3 go exclusively to Wii. Not 'cause I particuarlly give a shit but I want to see some more tears. Lots and lots of tears.
When does it start?
What server is the eb chat on?
anyways expect disapointment. This is the company that had Pac Man VS as their ending things. They also had a dj playing elektro plankton once. They generally have the worst conferences.
is g4 not showing nintendo? doesn't it start in a couple minutes?
its starting! XAGGLE!
stream at the top says standby. what the balls?
i'd cum on her glasses
At least they're playing an actual game, unlike in the MS conference.Yeah, Fallout 3 is totally not an actual game ::)
thank you :Dstream at the top says standby. what the balls?
use nintendo's i posted
Really, this is kind of a weird thing to be starting their conference with. This is the kind of shit you put in the middle of the show for padding.iwata had extra money to count. give him a break.
OK, WiiSpeak is fucking awesome and long called for.
wii speak will outsell ffxiii
OOH! USELESS PERIPHERAL NUMBER ONE!
OOH! USELESS PERIPHERAL NUMBER ONE!
E3 was a lot more exciting when we just got the summaries of all the conferences...
Is something big happening? That other forum just went down.
Atleast Nintendo knows that game journalists love watching little girls play video games
that COD game looks pretty good graphics-wise, actuallyI actually do have to agree, in the tiny stream window in a window anyway.
Only thing that is remotely interesting to me is WiiSpeak...
Good lord, the Wii is f*cking horrible. There hasn't been a single game shown that I would EVER consider buying. I'm obviously out of touch, though, as the masses eat that shit up.
I'm down with DS GTA if it plays like the first two.
Nintendo is so winning E3 again this year. So awesome.

You mean of the whopping one Nintendo game they've shown?I don't even care. This is their press conference and they've shown nothing but crap. Of course, once again, I forget that my tastes are way out of touch with reality.
FF13 FOR WII?!?!?!?
People don't clap about netflix but they clap about GTADS?
People don't clap about netflix but they clap about GTADS?
This is gonna sell so well.
You have to give Nintendo credit for single handedly destroying our hobby and turning it into a shallow novelty. :bow2
Oh boy! Manchildren will form bands together online!
We need a smiley face guy that blows his brains out. NOW.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PM ME A SYNOPSIS OF THE CONFERENCE WHEN ITS OVER
thanks

Should I play with a real drum set in Rock Band 2 or an invisible drum set with Wii Music?Pretty much the question at hand.
that's the most nongame i think they've ever made
IF some developer made a cool sword fighting game with 1:1 that would be rad.
what are the chances of that happening tho?
I think they really went too far this time. Those "complicated" music games are actually POPULAR. Casual gamers LOVE those games. Why must they simplify even further? I don't get it.
Of course, it will probably sell by the truckloads. So you just flail around and make sounds?
But this is fucking beyond the pale for lameness, even for Nintendo. Watching the horde convince themselves Nintendo had a good showing will be awesome.
i did this when i was like 8 years old
learn to play a real instrument or rock band at least
god

Cmon Sony, please show some good games.Well, Sony always disappoints, but they just HAVE to show something decent compared to this. Hell, even if they just show Home and Little Big Planet again (come on, you know that's what they're going to do) it will STILL be way beyond this crap.
sony's conference is going to be fucking awesome compared to this. guaranteed. :bow sony
VOICE CHAT. INNOVATION
Holy fuck!
Nintendo went from a company that I loved to one that I actually fucking despise in just a few short years. What is this shit!!!!
any big announcements? i gave up and stepped out
I like how Reggie made sure that everyone knew that Nintendo wanted to satisfy casual and core gamers, yet they only showed casual first party games yet again.
We can now learn to play the invisible drums
That was worse than Sony's 2006 conference
Holy fuck!
Nintendo went from a company that I loved to one that I actually fucking despise in just a few short years. What is this shit!!!!
See, Nintendo fanboys in the Cube years were desperate for Nintendo to become successful. Now, how does that success taste?
Horrible? Don't be distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. This thing is CASH MONEY. Nintendo is going to make a fuck-load of money with it's shitty party games for distinguished mentally-challenged fellows, while Microsoft and Sony spend ELEVEN QUIZILLION DOLLARS EACH of Gears of Blood: The Deathening.
I'm glad there's a market for both, but this shit is just clean, smart business.
i ate two chili cheese dogs. i think i won.any big announcements? i gave up and stepped out

I have an old kawai keyboard from the 90's that has a little feature that's pretty much wii music. It's called concert magic, basically there's a variety of prerecorded songs, and you hit any key and the music starts playing, you're just controlling its rhythm by mashing random keys
reggie is the anti-christ confirmed
Wasn't he the dude who masterminded the transformation of a music television channel into a celeb "reality" soap and gossip channel? Seems like a good fit for the Wii.

Yup. Nintendo is saving the business. For those who are pissed, don't worry - gaming needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. I think that happened sometime around Microsoft got into the business and brought along all the PC fegs with them, and their official Halo urinal containers so they wouldn't have to get their ass off the couch to do things like piss.
You guys should be thanking Nintendo for bringing some respect for your God forsaken hobby, and actually having females (*gasp*!) get involved in it. They're saving you, yet you don't even know it. Tsk tsk .. :-\

I'll be honest, if I was forced at gunpoint to choose between the two of them, I'd go for Animal Crossing... at least it has a touch of charm, unlike "hipsters, guidos, and douchebags wandering around the PSO lobby" aka Home.

No Zelda stuff, no Kid Icarus, no new Mario games, at least for DS...gay
Hopefully they have those small mini-conferences in the next few days to show some shit, If not, lol.
You can't possibly be grouping Wii with the other consoles. How can you act like a resolution increase from 720p to 1080p is life changing while somehow lumping Wii with the 360 and PS3. THAT is a massive gap right there.Good lord, the Wii is f*cking horrible. There hasn't been a single game shown that I would EVER consider buying. I'm obviously out of touch, though, as the masses eat that shit up.
Hey hey I hate shitty console graphics but there are 3 games that I absolutely HAVE TO HAVE at some point in my life:
- Zelda: TP (GCN port suffices of course!)
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Metroid Prime 3
Nothing else. There's nothing else on Wii that interests me.
No new WiiWare? Nothing? Jesus
I'm talking about capabilities, not software.QuoteYou can't possibly be grouping Wii with the other consoles.
why not ? everyone else is!
I'm not a big Wii fan, but there's at least two games i can think of that are more than worth playing and they both have Galax in the title.
and a Star Wars title that is going to all the consoles in some form or fashionDude, I already told you. Force Unleashed is not Clone Wars.

Honestly, I'm all for more females gaming, and PC fegs annoy me more than Xbots/Nfags/Sbots combined, but I can't even support what Nintendo did at this conference... Come on, CarrotTop Snowboarding? Rayman and GTA DS? It's like they were purposely trying to make this bad.
You hate me ? :'(
I *just* read the press release for Wii Music.
"It’s easy to play improv jams. Musicians in your band jam by simply playing their
instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart’s content. Play
faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii
Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music. There are
no mistakes—just playing for the pure joy of playing."
NO. FUCKING. WAY.

“What games should the hardcore fans be playing later this year?”
Reggie quickly replied: “‘Grand Theft Auto‘ on the DS and ‘Animal Crossing‘ on the Wii.”
Did they show anything of the GTA DS game?
Yeah that's why I was curious. A new classic GTA might be nice.Did they show anything of the GTA DS game?

Reggie just has to spin whatever they decide to show. He knows about the other games in development, probably a Kid Icarus Retro game, whatever the Mario and Zelda teams are making, among other stuff but can't say. Hell, they won't even show the Mario Baseball, Wario, and Kirby games on the floor they already have announced and shown screens of.
I don't think they want any focus at all on their own actual games at E3. Especially with third party people bitching all the time Nintendo steals all the spotlight. Well, there you go companies, hardly any Nintendo games on the floor to worry about competing with for the spotlight.

If Reggie is exempted from criticism then Iwata, Miyamoto, and all the higher-ups at NCL are to blame.

So I've done some hearty dissection of the trailer, AC fans strap on your seatbelts. (Everyone else turn the fuck away. :P)
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-GUI.png)
First off, what the hell is up with this GUI? It's all over the place and not intuitive at all.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-Hills.png)
Semi-ton: AC once again has cliffs and hills, yay! No more flat, boring landscape.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-GUI-02.png)
Better look at the UI, I just notice here that there's tabs at the bottom. May not be as bad as I thought. Ah! And there's even a photo tab. I was actually thinking how perfect it would be if AC had something like Brawl's photo system when I was playing Wild World a few weeks back, and according to Eguchi, we'll be able to send these pictures to Wii Message Boards, PCs, and cell phones. Yay for not having to use some decripting program to view photos!
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-CherryBlossoms.png)
Ah, something small, but notice the cherry blossoms in the back. I hope they add new types of fruit in this one as well.

The city does indeed seem larger than at first glance, you're able to go to both the right and left.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-Movies.png)
In addition, at the upper left hear you see a movie theater. Wonder what's that for? Seems maybe something like HOME's TV screens. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an arcade somewhere here where you can play VC games and demos.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-Cafe.png)
Glad to see the cafe back, but I also wonder if KK will ever return to being a lone, wandering musician again.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/Aibou/AC-BatchSell.png)
FINALLY batch-selling! I have no idea why they took this out of the DS version but I'm very pleased they put it back in.
No more flat, boring landscape.

Wait. The hard core Wii-tards on GAF are actually mad at Nintendo and not eating the shit and smiling? I am actually shocked. I think in a few days rehabilitation should begin and slowly introduce them to HD systems.
In my experience, forum fantards usually come back into the fold rather quickly after lashing out. I suspect they get outside, feel the cold, and panic.

VC FUCKING SUCKS, for one. WHERE THE FUCK IS EARTHBOUND?
Now, they give us this conference of fucking distinguished mentally-challenged shit. Sorry, but I guess the Wii's going to have to sit there and look pretty.
Seriously, the only system I really care about STILL is the PS3. Nothing has changed, and that's mainly because it plays MGS4 and has a Blu-ray player in it.

animal crossing: because asperger's needs an outlet
animal crossing: because asperger's needs an outlet
You kid, but my nine year old nephew that has asperger's LOVES Animal Crossing. He likes shit like the Sims, too. It's disturbing how much that child likes to decorate things, now that I think on it...
of course he does. you can do repetitive, focused tasks on a grid-like map, and complete arbitrary collections without the threat of time, state failure, or diminishment. you just keep filling invisible buckets and on-screen grids until the game tells you THINGS ARE COMPLETE. this is very reassuring to impaired children, like your nephew and crushed.
AC's not completely without merit, but I definitely liked it better when it was an overdone interface for playing NES roms.
It just feels so.... I dunno, empty, bland, whatever, without the quest for NES games.
I mainly just liked catching rare fish and planting trees. I never liked the delivery chores or such too much.
Higher quality Madworld trailer: http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14253678/madworld/videos/madworld_jumpingbackbreaker_071508.html
This is the stuff you should have shown, Nintendo.
"There isn't anything that we can announce right now, but I'm sure we'll probably do something with it," Miyamoto said of a Wii Pikmin sequel. "The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we'll have something to talk about before too long." We like the sound of that.http://wii.ign.com/articles/890/890276p1.html
In regard to a new New Super Mario Bros. for DS, Miyamoto tried to throw us off guard with trickery about not being able to announce unfinished projects. "That team is also working hard," he said. "The thing that's difficult is that, as you know, the way we handle our announcement is we work on product and once the product is at a state where we feel it's ready to show to people, then that's when we're willing to talk about it. Which is why it's difficult for me to talk about different projects in interviews. I have a lot of different teams and those teams are all at different points in their experiments or development, so it's typically once they've finalized something that we're able to talk about it. But for me to go into too much detail would be a little bit irresponsible in an interview. All that I can say is that that team is also working."
When we pressed him for more, Miyamoto added, "Maybe the best thing for you to understand is that all of the leaders of those teams -- of the Mario team, of the Zelda team and of the Pikmin team -- all sit within 150 feet of my desk. The Galaxy team is the only one that's farther away -- they're in Tokyo. But I do have video conferencing with them."
We stunned him with a hard-hitting follow-up: 'We don't really have a question. We just want you to make another Galaxy game.' To this, Miyamoto replied, "Leave it to me."
Does it really even matter whats being shown at a conference? I'm sure they could have scrapped up a demo of that, some play of Wario, Mega Man 9 VC, a couple of CG trailers of Zelda in two years and Kid Icarus and everyone would have said 'omg Nintendo owned' - but what does it matter? It's just a press conference.

Fuck yes it matters. Maybe not for sales, and maybe not for anything they should put extra effort into doing, but it about pleasing the few fans who are going to stick with you until this shitty casual gaming trend ends. I can't wait to see Nintendo come down hard, which won't happen, but still! The moment of E3 when Miyamoto came out and showed that Zelda TP trailer was when they realized this. I mean, Nintendo is no longer in the video game business, but E3 is all about showing the hot video games to get you frothing with demand until they release. It is about indulging your fans.
So honestly, how would you get excited for a game then? by reading incompetent 'journalist' attempt to write a review? Games are a medium where we can show them early and you are able to at least gauge them with an understanding. Movies have trailers, but you can't show someone the reel of something shot earlier that week and ask them to say how its coming along. It seems like you are able to grasp the concept of opinions in your post, although very with still judging the other spectrum a bit, but leave it at that.
E3 2008: New Galaxy, Pikmin and DS Mario Coming?
Miyamoto drops some not-so-vague hints.
July 15, 2008 - At the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2008, we made it our mission to bombard Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto with nearly unanswerable questions about possible games in development -- because, frankly, that's how we roll. Although he politely explained that he could not announce new products to us, we would not relent and we did come away with a few not-so-vague hints about projects underway. Namely, a new Pikmin title for Wii, a sequel to Mario Galaxy and a DS sequel to New Super Mario Bros.
"There isn't anything that we can announce right now, but I'm sure we'll probably do something with it," Miyamoto said of a Wii Pikmin sequel. "The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we'll have something to talk about before too long." We like the sound of that.
In regard to a new New Super Mario Bros. for DS, Miyamoto tried to throw us off guard with trickery about not being able to announce unfinished projects. "That team is also working hard," he said. "The thing that's difficult is that, as you know, the way we handle our announcement is we work on product and once the product is at a state where we feel it's ready to show to people, then that's when we're willing to talk about it. Which is why it's difficult for me to talk about different projects in interviews. I have a lot of different teams and those teams are all at different points in their experiments or development, so it's typically once they've finalized something that we're able to talk about it. But for me to go into too much detail would be a little bit irresponsible in an interview. All that I can say is that that team is also working."
When we pressed him for more, Miyamoto added, "Maybe the best thing for you to understand is that all of the leaders of those teams -- of the Mario team, of the Zelda team and of the Pikmin team -- all sit within 150 feet of my desk. The Galaxy team is the only one that's farther away -- they're in Tokyo. But I do have video conferencing with them."
We stunned him with a hard-hitting follow-up: 'We don't really have a question. We just want you to make another Galaxy game.' To this, Miyamoto replied, "Leave it to me."
As much shit as Cassamasaina gets. He did call the stupid boom box microphone thing.
is it clear to anyone else what wii motion plus actually does? would anyone bat an eye if they showed the new wii sports demos without mention of an add-on? fawning gafers are presumably just experiencing the placebo effect, but i thought i'd ask and make sure

Yeah but shit, I could tell you that there will be another Mario game. You don't need Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward working overtime on this story. Seems like such a non-event. Must've been scrambling to write something for a deadline.
I sure hope Wii Music contains my favorite public domain hits(http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/gallery/9/2008/07/medium_2671949733_00ea58d436_o.jpg)
:bow Camptown Races :bow2

GTA on the DS huh?
Bet it looks like shit.

How the fuck can Nintendo sell the same game for 10 years without a single change in graphics? (Animal Crossing)
Who the fuck are the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows buying that shit?
Yeah, that's way worse than when he come out with a plastic sword and shield, striking an action pose. Or when he came out dressed as a conductor waving a wand around in a poor attempt to emulate a real composer. The man's a big, crazy, boychild golden goose. If he has fun stumbling around playing an imaginary saxophone into a chunk of plastic, I say let him do it. He seems happy.
I'm sure Nintendo would be concerned if these goofy "let's pretend" ideas weren't selling like hotcakes, but since they are, I think they can live with letting Commander Crazy out of his pen once or twice a year.
you know, i've been thinking about it
nintendo isn't killing gaming
i mean, look at all the cool games coming out over the next year for 360/PS3/PC - fuck, i can't even afford everything i want for this year alone
the side forays 360/PS3/PC take into casually distinguished mentally-challenged things like avatars and waggle (xaggle and saggle still coming, believe) are just that - side forays, and you can safely choose to ignore all that stuff should you wish
no, the only thing nintendo is killing is nintendo
you can be happy or sad about that (i choose ambivalence), but don't worry about gaming
Well, they did straight up say "Guys who made Mario and Zelda are working on more games" at one point.
And that's cool and all, but when you spend your hour emphasizing nothing but the nongaming crap, then say "oh yah we got some stuff for you core gamerz too, but y'all are embarrassing so meet us behind the auditorium and we'll talk about it" wtf point are we supposed to take from it?
Way to miss the boat, guys.
It's not that they're killing gaming, it's that they're fully capable of producing high quality games that I would like to play, but instead sink their resources into this nongaming crap. Sure it's profitable for them, but so what? As a "hardcore" (for lack of a better term) gaming consumer I would like to have as many options for gameplay as possible. Nintendo seems focused on ignoring my desires so that old people, women and autistic children will buy truckloads of their shit. The thing is, I highly doubt that these demographics are going to KEEP buying their shit. Most of them just want to play Wii Sports and the sequel. It's just unfortunate that Nintendo has gone this route. It's even worse than Sega- Sega used to be able to make good games but forgot how. Nintendo still knows how, but doesn't want to bother. THAT'S what should piss you people off, instead you're just like "lol different market". Sad.

For the most part, I agree with you here... when Nintendo is on, they're on like Donkey Kong (shitty pun intended). Wario, Galaxy, Fire Emblem, Zelda and Smash prove they still have it. But I will disagree with you about Sega... Sega doesn't make good games outside of their arcade division anymore, but at least they still fund teams who are capable of making good games. Although, what they did with some of their core franchises (Sonic, PS) is a far worse crime than anything Nintendo has done. Since at least we can ignore the Nintendo casual games and play their core games and enjoy them.
Watching the Animal Crossing segment in the conference again, I am really confused as to why they dubbed over a guy speaking Japanese with a guy speaking English with a really bad accent.(http://i36.tinypic.com/dpd3qc.jpg)
I have continuously respected Miyamoto because I knew that when he's got a good idea, it's a DAMN GOOD one (see: Mario Galaxy). But when he falters, he falters HARD. I mean, I could at least understand the intention for Wii Sports, and even Wii Fit to a slight degree. But Wii Music? It seems utterly pointless.He conjured up this idea when he saw his daughter listening to music, shacking a stick...but disappointed she couldn't do this with a 250dollar game console.

See, you guys can be satisfied by stuff like Smash and the last Zelda, me... I don't even like those. Smash to me is not even a real fighting game, it's a party game that requires little in the way of skill or planning. Nintendo just doesn't want my money, I guess.
Nintendo is the reason there is a Dead Rising Wii and not a Dead Rising 2
He conjured up this idea when he saw his daughter listening to music, shacking a stick...but disappointed she wouldn't do this with his palpitating semierect member. he takes out his incestuous frustrations by making bad games
Way to miss the boat, guys.i would agree with you

except
unlike you, i dont care to play quality nintendo made games anymore
especially when its competitors make so many great games i dont have the time/money to play
so why do you want to play hypothetical quality nintendo games? when you can play existing quality non nintendo games
I love classic Zelda. But Nintendo is only going to make gimmickfest Zelda's like PH from now on. That saddens me.

Duke Nukem Trilogy trailer.
Seriously one of the best trailers of E3 if not ever.
Jesus Christ, DUKE NUKEM IS BACK.
Oh wait no, this is just some shit port. Fucking 3D Realms, where is DNF, Prey 2 and that other game?
You'd have to be a fucking moron to show CG for a port of old games.
What the fuck. What the fucking fuck. So basically it'll probably be Duke 3D just diffrent stories and settings?
I FILE THIS UNDER "ENHANCED RE-PORT-MAKE"
"Well, no, not exactly," said Nagy. "We're doing something called multi-mode. So we're taking all the great sequences of different types of gaming. You know, first-person and third-person over-the-shoulder, and no Duke game is Duke without a jetpack, so there's going to be a top-down scroller action going on there. We're talking about some isometrics, isometric 3D and on the DS there'll be the side-scroller action as well."
Can you explain that bit more?
"On the DS you'll be playing along in side-scroller mode and then there'll be an option to go into like a cover-fire position. And so Duke'll be able to play in a cover-fire position and then Duke will have the option to walk down that alleyway and go into a third-person over-the-shoulder type mode. And then you play the game in that mode for a while."
Do you choose to switch modes or is it directed?
"Right now it's directed."
How different are the PSP and DS versions?
"The PSP, more mature, more hardcore of gamer, third-person, first-person, top-down scroller type of stuff. It'll have less play modes than the DS, I just can't see a side-scroller working on the PSP."
Each of the three games takes place during different time periods, each of which means different kinds of weaponry will be available.
"In the first game Critical Mass, Duke is in the future so there's going to be some really cool futuristic weapons that Duke gets and is going to be able to kick ass with. Chain Reaction takes place in current day Earth and it's going to have the weapons that we create for it will be really cool and futuristic type things. The one that I'm excited about is Proving Grounds, it takes place back in 1945, Duke is going to become the Forrest Gump of World War II. Duke is going to be responsible for the sinking of the Bismarck. It was really Duke that raised the flag over Iwo Jima. He's going to be using period style weapons within this game."
Uh, so Pikman 3 is confirmed.
I love how the Wiitards are acting like this singlehandedly redeemed Nintendo's E3. Are those fuckers really that starved?
It's Pikmin. On the Wii. And we already knew about it.
Where's a new 2D Metroid on the DS? Where's... say, a portable Virtual Console service?
Ugh.
Lol Portable VC? Metroid Dread? Are you high?
Lol Portable VC? Metroid Dread? Are you high?
Hopeful! Not high.
The reaction to this is hilarious.
BP3: "WAH! WAH! NINTENDO HATES US!"
AP3: "OMG! YOU GUYS CARE! YOU WIN E3! FTW!"
They said already said most of this shit at the conference. I mean, they didn't come out and say Pikman 3 was coming out, but now we have a confirmation of it. We also have a confirmation that both the team behind Galaxy and Twilight Princess are making new games. How about getting excited for that? They didn't even say they were working on a new Mario or Zelda. They can actually be working on a new IP! Get excited about that instead of Pikman 3, which you assholes will probably bitch about regardless of quality anyway.
I am excited for Pikman 3. I really enjoyed the first two and the pointer on the wii remote seems like it could have some benefit here.

The entirety of GAF was acting like Nintendo was never going to release anything but Wii Sports and Wii Music ever again.

Good point. On one hand how can some of these dumbasses say "OMG, Nintendo won't release a new game ever again" then say "Duh we knew Pikman was coming."
