I thought you were talking in the context of modern consoles since the Wii U was brought up. If you installed all of your Steam games on an extenal, brought it over to your friends, logged into your account on his PC, would you have access to your entire library without a download/install? I really don't use my PC that way but I think a lot of younger people use their consoles that way. It's really no different than bringing a cartridge to your friends house 20 years ago.

That Nintendo TV thing is pretty neat for people like me who use the PS3 to watch Netflix. Hopefully it does Amazon Prime streaming as well.
I'm sure snes will be using the fire out of the real time sports commenting system that they have since he's GAFless.
I do think it's funny that they're charging for NintendoLand. I never would have paid money for WiiSports and there is no way I'm paying for that.

I hate to say it, but I'm not at all intrigued by the WiiU.
I hope it does well, because I like Nintendo as a company and unlike 3/4 of gaming side, I realize more good systems and competition is beneficial to everyone in the industry (consumers, software developers, and console manufacturers/PC makers alike).
But literally nothing about that system (outside of a possible Zelda HD) interests me.

When they showed Breaking Bad there was an Amazon option there as well.
That is a disgusting thought.

The Nintendo TV thing looks like it could be really cool. I would love to use the touch pad as a remote, and maybe even to keep watching a show it I go into the bathroom or something.
Amazon prime needs to add AMC so I can drop Netflix.
I remember that election. Good thing President Fran Drescher won.
Actually that steam theory would work, all you need is the steam.exe and your library of games (commonapps). Once you run steam.exe it'll just install itself properly, and just got to log-in. Sometimes you have verify the install, but you wouldnt have reinstall the game. People transfer steam installs from PCs to PCs all the time.
She ran for president this year.
Okay that's cool I guess. When I transfer my windows partition to an SSD later this year that may be helpful. That isn't easier than just plugging a hard drive or USB stick in though..that's all I'm saying.

I'm now hearing rumors that Jennings will no longer put the team on his back, doe, in light of Rodgers glancing at him the wrong way on the sidelines.
Looks like the piercing gaze of Fraudgers has sidelined Jennings tonight.
Port begging is bannable.
It's my favorite kind of ban. Such a pointless reason. This forum is read by people in the industry, and you might actually be heard.
It's a ban that isn't listed in the TOS either.
There is no way of knowing about the ban until you have been banned for it or have seen somebody banned.

If Microsoft's next system retails at a crazy high price with cell phone like purchase contracts it's going to look like a much better option to me. So I'll be taking the wait and see approach.
I don't think anybody is keeping track of it in the thread. Too many people.

I really want to see the PS4 and Xbox 3 now.
I don't think anyone has done that for years.
Well think about it. A shoddy average game that is adored by a rabid fanbase. Put that on a consoles who's target demographic is mostly a rabid fanbase that ignores common sense and you have the recipe for success.
It's like gathering all the mediocrity in one place. Like if the NFL got the Browns, Cardinals, Dolphins and Rams to all play in their own league.

Nobody is going to port a game to a console because a nerd console warrior on the internet said he would like it.
They're publishing it.

300 + subscription fee is my bet.
I just need that shit announced so I know if I should just upgrade my PC or if it's something worth getting right away.
Always upgrade your PC first and purchase consoles second. Don't be a gaming peasant stuck in the gaming ghetto.
Really though what did the first sell? Like 1 million combined? It's an easy cheap way for Nintendo to try and win some of the hardcore audience back which seems to be one of their main strategies with the Wii U. I just don't see it or a whole bunch of old ports like Darksiders 2 and Batman being much of a factor. They'll live and die by their exclusives and their marketing campaign.
You could do a simple video card upgrade now for under $200 and you'd be good until the next gen comes around. The consoles aren't going to be out for another full year.

300? Dollars? Ahaha.
400 minimum for the base pack, especially if it has Kinect crap in there.
You don't win "hardcore audience" back with A game that struggled to sell. You gain it back with Call of Duty, GTA, and other monster franchises that guarantee that third parties have faith in your console and will be publishing future titles.
Nintendo published Bayonneta means nothing to anybody except fans of Bayonneta.

Was going to post the same thing, Future, but decided not to take that obvious bait.
I'll probably be waiting till after this semester ends and the crazy post-launch fervor dies down. If I get it day one it'll just collect dust while I'm buried underneath exams.
$350 seems fair for how fun Nintendoland looks. That, NSMB and Rayman will tide me over until spring, I'd bet. TVii looks dope as fuck too.

I suppose we're talking about two different demographics. In the long run, franchises like COD and GTA do matter much more to retailers, Nintendo, and the publishers than something like Bayonetta.
Waiting on amazon to put up a preorder link. NSMB and Rayman are what I'm excited for, wife and I love coop platformers
I love new hardware launches

This post confuses me. It seems like you are referring to hardcore gamers as being the ultra dedicated who buy to enjoy a specific game. AKA the traditional definition.
If so, Nintendo never lost them. Who they DID lose were the type that buy popular titles at a large clip.
There was a time I would have been angry reading this post but I ended up putting some money into getting an actual solid PC and well...I now realize who the master race really is.
All those years of consoles, I refused to accept the truth.
I enjoy both but yeah PC gaming is great if you have a solid rig.There was a time I would have been angry reading this post but I ended up putting some money into getting an actual solid PC and well...I now realize who the master race really is.

Well it works when a whole bunch of nerds say they would like it.
Example: Dark Souls.
