Someone should tell Nintendo that a camel toe is not a functional disc drive, that consoles need power cables to turn on and that analog sticks bigger than an iPhone (going by the proportions in the controller, since the screen is 6") are a tad too big.

There is no way you could ever put electronics into a windows 7 case, not even with two windows 7 case duct taped together.
The console is powered on during the youtube presentation remember?
Dude, it's just a LED. The thing is fake, unless you're implying Nintendo doesn't know how you make a functional DVD drive or that analog sticks bigger than one iPhone are normal.dwu8991 said:

Everyone else beat me to the part about electronics, but you just hit the problem on the nose. There is only room for a DVD to be inserted. Just LOOKING at any of the fake Cafe pictures should tip you off that something's wrong. The DVD slot doesn't look big enough to fit a DVD!
The proportions of everything are off every time and it all just looks fake, fake, fake. They can't even decide if it's white, black, silver, has buttons, or if it can run without power cords between all the pics and videos. I mean, come on.

What does that even mean? You're saying...it looks like a slot-loading drive? The Wii has one too, you know. What's your point?
Easy_D said:
Except it's on the bottom for some reason, making it extremely uncomfortable to use, instead of on top like every single console with a vertical setup in existence.dwu8991 said:
The size is also off, it seems to be using mini-DVDs, which would rule out Wii backwards compatibility (very unlikely).
I'm sorry, did you give a look at that link? That's still double the size of GCN analogue sticks.dwu8991 said:

And apparently he was making the exact same points yesterday, getting the exact same replies:

I believe.
F-Zero GX "not deliver", wtf? He must be talking about sales, the game is absolutely brilliant, and I'm a big fan of the genre. Ugh.
TBH, I'm also a big fan of Time Trial perfection (which is where F-ZGX trumps everything I've played in this genre), but I can somehow see what he means if he's talking about the Story mode (or whatever it's called) or even GP to some extent. I would like those modes to be of the highest quality as well, so I guess he has a point. Having said that, I really enjoyed the GP mode in F-ZGX, but I guess it's not exactly pick-up-and-play type of game, it can feel a bit cold and empty until you start mastering the controls.

Yes, I grow so tired of people thinking he was speaking about GX with that quote.swerve said:

it's encouraging that they recognize this. i see three scenarios as the path to a solution they'll take:
- develop these games in-house using existing studios and resources,
- cultivate a larger amount of talent and manage those teams in-house as they develop nintendo franchises, or
- not make the games, period.
all of these are preferable to releasing shoddy half-assed second party games that tarnish a series's good name.

A2's problem would not be in-orderness, i.e. the BC-with-Gekko card (whose OoOE was quite shallow, anyway), as that could be addressed through sufficiently-higher clocks and/or wider issue capabilities. A2's problem in Cafe's context is the lack of any AltiVec/VMX/VSX extensions, i.e. the porting-from-360 card. Not that IBM could not bolt on a SIMD unit as an 'accelerator' somewhere, but that would significantly change the transistor budget of the design (VMX128 is not cheap). POWER7 can handle that feature of Xenon, A2 - not.Thraktor said:

I think Krystal is pretty much here to stay.
And it's fine... as long as she isn't a love interest.

The opening moments of Starfox Adventures, in control of Krystal, are the parts that showed the most promise. It goes downhill once you get control of Fox and he basically has to repeat the same Krozoa spirit nonsense... repetition killed SFA. Otherwise it was quite interesting, and it still looks beautiful imo.

I still think one of Nintendo's biggest mistakes of the GCN era was meddling with Dinosaur Planet.

The impression I got from some media before DP became SFAdventures was you would play half of the game as Krystal (who before the franchise switch was just a blue cartoon cat and not the weird 'sexy' teenage fox girl I guess Rare decided fitted the Star Fox universe better).
Also good to know that Miyamoto quote wasn't talking about GX. Love that game and it was disheartening when I first read it thinking Nintendo didn't agree that it was an amazing addtion to the F-Zero series (though I got the overall impression the game didn't actually sell that amazingly; is this true?) Would love to see a similar HD sequel on the Cafe, though GX graphically still holds up very well despite being nearly 2 generations behind now.

So what about the possibily of a scaled back, leaner version of POWER7 for Cafe's CPU cores?

That's true. It wasn't a million seller, which is probably what they were expecting considering its production values. However, it still sold much more than the two games released after it, the later one wasn't even released outside of Japan.
I'm really not sure about that. The only people with personality in the Dinosaur planet that we got was the Star Fox crew. If they hadn't done anything, the entire cast might have ended up just as bland as the Star Fox Adventures original characters. In fact, that might have been the reason Nintendo decided to slap the Star Fox brand there.

Additionally, Nintendo probably would've lost rights to the game in the Rare split. As is, it's one of the few games they kept thanks to Fox.NeonZ said:

Me too. I was on the IGN forums at the time and nobody would listen, and left cause I couldn't believe how dumb it was. Matt Cass. was the main perpetrator of it over there. He was talking about the GBA games, but people did not know they existed and started spreading FUD about GX.Jaded Alyx said:

A dual-core POWER7 would give 8-way SMT, and if the option to 'turbo-boost' a single core at the expense of turning off the other is preserved, it can also turn into a hyper-wii on a switch. I say POWER7 would be a good choice, if nintendo would be ok with the bill, that is.herzogzwei1989 said:

I know this is a troll, but I spent 2 minutes in MS Paint to respond anyway.
Which one of these look right to you?
The one on the left is roughly matched up with a miniDVD and the one on the right is roughly matched up with a regular DVD.
Because they both look fake to me.

Thanks for your input. I'm sure IBM has had a team working on a custom CPU for Nintendo. We'll just have to wait and see to find out what it's based on.
