Manipulating the gaming hordes requires a wit that is subtle and precise, like a katana blade, yet Raol wields it over-enthusiastically, like a heavy club ;)

Guys... this is hard for me to say.

After having been informed of what's about to really go down tomorrow, I'm afraid that I have a LOT of backpedalling to do, and a lot of apologies to make. Let's just say that I'm stunned that something of this nature would ever come out of Nintendo and leave it at that. :(

Nintendo is going to change the face of gaming on Thursday (tomorrow for most of you).

See, what you should have done was work WITH Johnny Nighttrain so HE could deliver the joke. I promise you 10x many more people would believe it.

I like Nintnedo's games and have had hours of fun with their hardware, but I don't expect them to go all out to impress people. I expect them to do their thing and keep me as a customer, but when it comes to anxiously anticipating something -- I'll leave that to Sony. First PSP, now PS3, Sony seems to be capable of dropping bombshells at shows, hardware from the future, and libraries of games that provide everything from gaming I want (aside from my Nintendo fix which is what Nintendo systems are for)

Given what we know about Nintendo, Nintendo fans and this forum do you think:
1. Microsoft blowing their load early and missing the chick's face entirely
2. Sony stepping into and strolling about the onsen intimidating all with their giant cock (altho there is some speculation about parts of it being prosthetic)
3. Rabid Nintendo fans like the guy who made the Nintendo On video starting rumors about a last second megaton to shock all at E3
4. Nintendo always moves at their own pace often ignoring what gamers ask for initially letting them down many times and sometimes but not often finally delivering it after a long ass wait
5. Drinky started this thread and he hates Nintendo fanboys

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 +7 + 8 + 9 + 10 == THURSDAYTON ?

Don't kid yourselves, nothing's gonna happen :D

In the N64's life cycle when it became obvious that the Playstation was going to crush it the Nintendo fanboy in me held out hope that Nintendo would do something so heavy hitting that they'd swing the battle in their favor, sort of like with the SNES and Genesis. When Gamecube launched I held out hope that Nintendo had learned from all their mistakes (they switched media, claimed 3rd party support was going to be beefed up, and that they were dedicated to being competitive in the console business). We see how that ended up. Nintendo's past two home consoles have delivered on the tech side (well N64 was limited by cards) but failed on the business/marketing side. In the handheld market Nintendo seems to deliver on the business/marketing side but deliver weak and underpowered hardware.

Has Nintendo found a happy medium with Revolution? We don't know because they chose not to show anything. We'll have to wait, it's still at lesat 9 months off I'd guess. If there's one thing that we can always expect from Nintendo is that they will proceed in their own little world releasing and revealing stuff on their own time.

Hopefully later this year or early next year they show impressive real stuff running on at least 90% - 100% dev kits. When they are ready to show stuff they will. I think that's a big reason devs haven't been talking about Revolution, it wasn't a priority coming into this E3; DS, GBA, and the last few games trickling out on the Cube are Nintendo's priority.

This thread has taken me to an incredible high and then smashed every fibre of my being into a bloody and disappointed pulp :(

There's still hope though... isn't there...?

Maybe that's the point? Drinky tells the truth without hyperbole while Raol raves about it with super unrealism, causing confusion among the Nfans. Watching Nbots deal with the inner struggle between believing out of rabid loyalty and disbelieving out of logic could very well be the last chance for Drinky to get his rocks off before the THURSDAYTON.

It's not actually trolling if you don't admit it
Seriously, I can't believe this info hasn't leaked already.

Good stuff though.

Remember, Iwata said that part of the 'puzzle' is that rev is a 'virtual console' = 'virtual reality' = 'nintendo on'

It's all making sense! ;)
