well, the week is going to be super epic for me anyways, have a week off of work, birthday and graduating same day, senior party, family visiting, animal crossing, the last of us, nintendo direct (is this live streamed?!?)
HYPE. I think I hyped myself a bit too much as I type this. gonna go grab a soda and a slice of cake and try to contain (unleash) the hype
Of course, I also love dreaming. So, for fun, I gave you all the madness on the previous couple pages, lol.
That's it, Neiteio! We must bring forth a new age of hype! A better hype.
Errors get me pretty hyped too. Imagine what could have been there.

Wow that Iwata asks, GOLD!
haha this was my favorite part
haha this was my favorite part
VegaNine said:
Ha, I really have.
My actual expectations are as follows:
- Smash Bros.
- Mario
- Mario Kart
- Wind Waker
- TW101
That's it. If I get some nice new material on those five titles, I'm happy. Anything else is a bonus.
Seeing Retro's title would be incredible. But I'm not counting on it.

Same, if we get gameplay of Mario and Mario Kart and screens and projected release date for Smash Bros, that would be tits.

So how many people will think this Iwata Asks was real?
This actually happened, somehow. I don't think this new one can be mistaken in the same way, though.
They were scattered all throughout the official Brawl Asks. It's a long feature-- you can actually see the glasses empty and refill.

If I was you I would play lottery
That's actually what I was referring to. I love how Iwata holding a human skull didn't tip them off.
Is that the one where Sakurai seems really nervous? I remember reading one where Iwata gushes about Sakurai being a supergenius that knows every detail about a game from the planning stage, and Sakurai's response is something like "Uh. Thanks."

What's the chance of Nintendo announcing a Gamepad+ with a higher (720p?) resolution, larger battery, etc? I am just trying to think of positive reasons why Nintendo has yet to sell Gamepad's in stores besides Japan.
Very slim. Doing that would require more taxing on the Wii U's processing power. It won't happen. They're releasing larger batteries, however
That might be the Kid Icarus one. He seemed really upbeat in the all pictures from the Brawl Asks. But in the KI one, he usually looked like this:
Hey Joe -- webmaster of my favorite Pokémon site, serebii.net -- what's the lowdown on this Pokémon XY deal going on later in the day June 11?
I've read that VegaNine skit like 10 times now.
VegaNine, please start a Kickstarter to write a Fake Iwata Asks book. I'm not even kidding. You have an amazing ear for dialogue and your comedic timing is impeccable.
Thank you *blushes*
I've actually been prepping a fake game news site since last year, but I've had to put it on hold for a bit. I'm looking into the legal aspects, i.e., how to do it without getting sued, etc.. I've got a few things written so far, and it's been hard not to share them.
It's a X & Y roundtable. They will go over development, new gameplay features, why they've changed to 3D etc. It's also likely that June's reveals of new Pokémon etc will be showcased there. It'll also have a Q&A.
Glad you like the site
I would figure that it's more due to demand. There's no games that require a second gamepad yet, so why would the average person buy one? The inventory would just be rotting there in store. Not something retailers want.
Actually, I think it was the Brawl one after all. I guess I interpreted it in a weird way.

My decision to pursue the project in this way rested on one point and one point alone, and it is deeply tied to the point about which I have the utmost faith in a man named Masahiro Sakurai. To state it simply, you are capable of taking a project with nothing and visualizing a completed game almost perfectly in your head. As I mentioned earlier, you and I have a long history working together at HAL Laboratory. When involved on the same project, you were able to point out the smallest details even when the product had yet to take shape. The details were so small and so specific that, as a programmer, I thought there was no way you could know what you knew without actually trying it first. As the game progressed and took shape, however, it was clear that we needed to address the details in just the way you had described. So I would ask "did you really know this right from the start?" I mean, this was over ten years ago, but I remember you said you did and I thought to myself "is this guy for real?" As it happened over and over again, however, I had little choice but to believe you. I don’t know how, but you’re able to visualize a game right down to its very details, as if the finished game is working inside your mind. If not, how else could you have been right so many times? Even now, Masahiro Sakurai, of all the people that I know, you especially can readily form an image of how a game will look when finished. That’s why I knew that you would be capable of putting together the ideas of the talented staff around you. If you don’t have a person like that pulling together different ideas, you need a lot of trust within the team or the project will not go anywhere. When a project has just begun, it’s natural for directions to come from a vague concept of the product. It’s natural for there to be revisions and twists and turns, and as this continues, the project becomes something different than it was at the start. This is not necessarily a bad thing and happens all the time when designing games. However, this only works because of the trust built up from the past of a long working relationship. That’s why it was so unusual to recruit outside staff solely for the purpose of making such a large-scale game. Yet it was exactly this type of thinking on which I was betting our success.
Sakurai
Wow…uh, thanks for the words of praise. (laughs)

Sakurai

Maybe the beer glasses explain it.
That is a pretty insane compliment. I would not know how to react to that either.
Makes VegaNine's Iwata Asks even better though. Sakurai is totally Iwata's bishie.
Haha true.

I'm a little peeved that I bought a WiiU at launch, and they only had the basic model because everyone bought them to sell, now I'm stuck with the white. Everytime I look at the white console I think of the greed those people had to try to do what happened with the Wii.
How about something Nintendo for buying the basic? Throw me a bone

LOL!! Super realistic it is!!
Like hell a fan site like Nintendolife has any kind of exclusive news or something. They are probably just refering to their "amazing" E3 coverage.

If there are newer numbers I am not familiar with them.
Oh, sorry about that then. I had thought you were responding to the part about no gamepad sales.
I was more referring to the screen resolution

That was really well done. Great integration of the sound effects.

that right there was pretty well made
i doubt they lost money on it, but i'm sure their expectations were much higher.

Thanks! I forgot how long the Brawl Asks was...or how insane some of Iwata's compliments were.
*Sakurai rubs Iwata's cheek*
Sakurai: Hmm. (laughs)
Iwata: It feels very leathery?
Sakurai: Yes, very much like leather.
Iwata: (laughs) If it doesn't make you rich, I apologize.
Sakurai: That's OK. Money is nice, but I like leather, too.
Iwata: (laughs) Let's continue this later.
For what's basically a "new" franchise, that's not good; it's great.
