You people who think that Nintendo "responded to feedback in E3" and came back in two months with the final design for commercial launch are falling for Nintendo's PR story. It's not an overnight process - ergonomics, board layout, tooling, durability tests and all such must be taken in account. Not to mention the effect that changing the plastic shape has to the wireless features, which has to be tested, too. The final design most certainly was being done before and during they were showing the thing in LA, but they had to come up with a quick shell for SDKs earlier and they probably figured they'd get away with using the same thing for E3.deadlifter said:
EDIT: And count into that two short months also delivering those devices to the company doing the PR pictures, having the PR pictures shot, retouched, commented, delivered. Yep.

I'm not talking about the feedback at E3. It's obvious that nintendo is trying to get away from the "kiddie" image with the DS. I also think that Reggie is another step nintendo is taking to rid themselves of this. Whether it will work or not is yet to be seen.

Let's face it, Reggie's speech was wack at E3. The only thing worth mentionning was when he said "I'm all about kicking asses and taking names". Nintendo fans were all impressed because it was the first time a PR guy seemed confident in a Nintendo conference. The bald guy from the Microsoft conference did A HELLA better job, and no one made Photoshop about him or got excited because somebody talked.
I can't wait to see the PR spin that Reggie will say next E3 to damage control the GameCube's poor performances this year. I hope it's something as funny as : "Without Nintendo, there would be no growth in the videogame industry."

Reggie IS Nintendo's Peter Moore. Some gaming nobody hired out of fuck knows what other industry to TALK THE SMACK and make all the fanboys whoop at conferences. The man is a monkey. IT WILL ALL END IN TEARS. My buddy interviewed him on Friday - he agrees.

I got to admit watching Reggie speak at E3 brought out so much in me it just made Nintendo alive and kicking again.
I bet the old insane fool has inspired people like Reg and Iwate. They both act like the old man but only in a nice way
