Nintendo is kinda like Apple, doesn't innovate but just go around ripping everyone off and sell last-gen products for a premium price.

Never mind that the Wii was cheaper than the other two, and they introduced next-generation motion controls instead of pouring resources into useless graphics masturbation?

So no, Move and Kinect isn't ripped off from Wii. All the companies were heading that way, it's just that Nintendo released it first.

No. Move and Kinect were respones to the success Nintendo had with motion controls.

Motion controls... which were used for masturbation-like movements to charge your weapon. (No More Heroes) :laugh:

the n is not cool anymore.... the motion controls were a big fat gimmack. tons of shovelware. not enough real games... i can mabye pick out like 10 ok games out of the hundreds of "games" the n has.

(yes I call them the n instead of nintnedo becuase nintendo used to be cool and make good games and they are not the nintendo I grew up with they are just 'the n' to me now.)

thats not like nintendo? the console was at E3, so no reason not to demo its graphics, unless it was just an empty case :shiftyninja:

Probably because all of those games have not yet been ported to the Wiii U and had their graphics adjusted and optimized?

PSone's controller set the trend for dual analog sticks cuz N64 only had one.

all your other points aside, this one is completely wrong

the PS1 didn't even have analog sticks, they weren't added till the PS2

It didn't have it at release, but it was brought later on in 1997, according to Wikipedia. I had these controllers, one of which came with my Playstation. And no, the PS2 wasn't out yet either (came out in 2000).

Are you sure you even have your facts correct?

The Playstation did not have analog sticks when it was released, but the Dual Analog Controller was later released, and later the DualShock controller was released. The PSone came with a DualShock controller. These were all released before the PS2.

ah yeah, i forgot about the late controller refresh

there weren't really many games that took advantage of the dual analog for the PS1 though if i remember correctly

though i wasn't much of a playstation user back then (was only 6 in 1997) i only had an N64 so i could be mistaken about that

never played a playstation till my cousin got a PS2

Thats the first PSOne controller that was phased out in 1998 in all markets. The Dualshock controller was released in 1997-1998 in all markets and replaced it.

anyway back on topic, I don't blame Nintendo for using footage from other councils

my guess is they know for a fact that those titles will be on the system but development of the games has either not yet begun or is still in the early stages

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.

      Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
