The madness might kill him.
Ahaha.
His preferences differ from yours somehow! Scary, I know.
It's very simple actually. Quality, which is the only important metric here, is completely subjective.

If this thread is any indication of how people are going to act during E3, then I may need to limit my access to this forum come June for my own sanity.

It isn't. It'll be WAY WORSE.
Well, on that same scale, value is also completely subjective. So what's the point of any discussion?
The gaming consumer isn't one mind with all the same interest and perceptions of value. That doesn't mean you can't discuss anything, it just means you have to do a better analysis of the market(s).
It'll be way, WAY worse...
You've never seen GAF during E3?
Hoooooooooooooo boy.
This thread is like a nice sunny day compared to E3.
Us weirdo kids got this instead:
So thats what those things were, I had a set when I was a kid and I couldn't remember what they were called.

I don't know why people are so excited for this thing.
My prediction: It's going to be marginally better than a 360 hardware-wise and priced at 300$ probably. Will be justified by Reggie because it has a "revolutionary" controller that's about as revolutionary/useful as 3D on 3DS.
Then they'll show Galaxy 3 or some Galaxy spinoff as the Mario game, some footage of Pikmin and Wii Sports HD. Whatever Zelda is in development won't come out until the end of the generation and nobody will complain about how slow/inefficient this is because Nintendo is infallible. It'll have the same multi-plat ports as the other consoles maybe with some special exclusive armor DLC, and the online will be atrocious because this is Nintendo.
I see no hope for this at all in terms of being superior to PS4/next xbox unless they go mad with the games. No Vitality sensor old lady shit and fuck happy family montage garbage (all 3 companies do this now so it's not just Nintendo but they started it). Show Starfox 64 sequel, Mario 64 sequel, a 3D Donkey Kong, a new IP with the same resources as a Mario game etc. all of that and I'd be hyped for it. Anything less and it'll be another Wii which was dreadfully disappointing to me.

What time is this thing at?
EDIT: Hell yeah two Link RE avatars in a row.

You did not tell that from the OP's photo, did you? Also, wat.
My excitement is connected to my preferences, not yours.

No, I actually have been here for the past 2.
'09 was crazy, but it wasn't that bad I thought. Last year was REALLY bad though, and there were tidal waves of feces coming from every angle. I was shocked by what seemed to be a pretty stark change from the year prior, which is why this thread is leading me to believe that this year could be even worse if the cries of fisher price and whatnot continue.
And they will.

Eeeek. Not feelin' it this time, Nintendo.

This is why I love GAF. No real information about the system other than it has a touchscreen controller and streams directly to the touchscreen. Yet, people feel the need to discredit it right away. Makes absolutely no sense.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. Getting to play Nintendo's franchises in HD is enough to get me hyped.
"Makes absolutely no sense."
That pretty much sums up 95% of GAF.
Dear God YES!

Yeah. That plus this console might get good third party support this time.
Who do you think is the 5% that makes sense.

it's not even a touchscreen controller, it's a traditional controller with a touchscreen on it.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
What a boring design.
Me, I AM THE 5 PERCENT!
A tablet as useful as a superfluous display fe... wait, 3D Donkey Kong sequel? Good god, man. I was going to respond to this post logically until I read that.
I sure hope more stuff can be discussed after the Reggie interview. We GAF turn very minute information into pages and pages of discussion.

-white plastic looks cheap
-the whole thing looks like a Fisher-Price toy
-the bezel on the controller is huge; I want a .5mm bezel with the buttons/analog sticks mounted on a razor's edge on the side of the controller
I don't feel like going through all seventeen pages--did I cover most of the posts in this thread?

It was you all along huh?
Aw son of a bitch.
Most were about the touch screen and why, in some people's view, Nintendo cheaped out.
We all believed it! My family believed it!

Yep, this. Having to jump from PC and PS3 games to Nintendo's Wii games all generation long has been a bit grueling...but that still manages to be a small blemish on an otherwise fantastic experience. Nintendo games in HD are a matter of perfection that has been a long time coming.
...but I'm still going to be bitching about the controller for the next 6 years.

I remenber a bunch GAFers moaning about having to hold a DS3 with one hand when the Move was announced.
Good luck with that.
You're going to have the tablet sitting on your lap regardless, unless you think you can hold something almost as big as the gamecube keyboard controller for hours without crippling your wrists.

You can probably also support it with your other hand on the back or with a stand like people usually do with tablets.

Nintendo fanboys, duh.
you are missing:
- Capacitive is sooooo much better because of pinch-to-zoom and... pinch-to-zoom
Doesnt seem like the best design choice if you have to rest the controller.
