Satoru Iwata unboxes the Wii U himself (with white gloves!) - General

That game pad is pretty massive

[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;38358399]Nintendo is to consoles what Valve is to PC's. Also I still think Steam on the Wii U would be an amazing idea.[/QUOTE] What? Rehashing same games over and over, making use of gimmicky controllers, crappy online-solutions and casual games galore?

[QUOTE=Noss;38362388]I really want one but I'm saving up for a new PC First world problems :( [editline]7th November 2012[/editline] Also how does the Gamepad function? Does it have its own OS which enables you to browse the web etc on it?[/QUOTE] As far as I know, the console just streams a video output to the gamepad.

[QUOTE=usaokay;38359239]Virtual Boy. but they tried to innovate on that portable idea, but the execution was off by a gazillion miles[/QUOTE] Making bad mistakes and doing a bad job is not the same thing as fucking over their customers. Messing up is not necessarily evil

For a company that's still kind of stuck in the nineties, they're handling how they show off their console and its specs very well.

i wish everyone was as polite as Mr. Satoru Iwata

I feel like they're realised that everybody is going to look for this stuff since it's readily available on the internet, so hey, they might as well do it themselves.

This guy has got a lot of manners and politeness I really wouldn't expect from a man with a rank like that in a company.

I wouldn't call Uncharted and Gears endlessly rehashed series. They followed the trilogy format as many books and films do. However, I'd call fair game on COD and Halo EDIT: Good point though on the gimmicky controllers and casual games.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;38366492]This guy has got a lot of manners and politeness I really wouldn't expect from a man with a rank like that in a company.[/QUOTE] He just seems like a guy I would want to shake hands with. Or bow to. but not both at the same time. take notes obama

Well, I don't know much about Japanese culture but what I do know/have heard is that the employer and worker have a very close and honorary bond, where the worker really wants to do a good job to make his or her employer proud. I'm guessing it's kind of the same thing here where the guy wants to make a good display of the Wii U and is being very polite about it to boot, just to make the customers which are kind of his employers (he gets the money from us after all) happy. He's a nice guy.

They have very different ways of doing things.

I also love this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3clOZH-bpgk[/media] Whereas the first one is relaxing and formal, this one is awkward as fuck.

[QUOTE=BLOODGA$M;38365864]Nintendo are the wrong ones to be singling out for this sort of crap.[/QUOTE] I know all consoles do this, but I was refering to him comparing nintendo to Valve, which is a weird comparison.

He should commit sudoku over that shameful WiiU display

[QUOTE=Viper_;38369926]He should commit sudoku over that shameful WiiU display[/QUOTE] He placed the Wii U on the stand the wrong way. He should be punished.

[QUOTE=ProgramFiles;38370617]He placed the Wii U on the stand the wrong way. He should be punished.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1pmos.png[/IMG] He even said sorry

i love you iwata i love you nintendo you are responsible for me playing games at all

I must say it was very strange to hear "PEGI 7". I've gotten so used to "PEGI 18"
