It’s a bird! It’s a carp! The weirdest thing about Nintendo’s press conference
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi5ga3mYp0c[/youtube] Remember that time when Nintendo showed an awkward trailer for Wii U that showed a bird flying around and carp jumping from the water? That was weird. That and the new crossbow controller looked pretty silly. Any other things about the conference that made you say WTF?
Gut reaction: What do you think of Wii U?
The console’s graphics look no better than PS3. It features a primary controller that streams video from the console. It’s backwards compatible with Wii games, Wiimotes, and other Wii peripherals. It supports interoperable mutliplayer with 3DS. It appears to have an abnormally high interest from HD developers. Your thoughts?Â

900: Sitting here in the Nokia theater waiting for the conference to begin. 905: Zelda is on screen! 907: Holy cow there is a full orchestra on stage! 910: Miyamoto is on stage talking Zelda.
Overheard at e3: GTA inbound for Cafe.
All the buzz this morning is about a Grand Theft Auto title being released for Project Cafe at the Nintendo press conference this morning. GTA V Cafe anyone? Stay tuned to Infendo to find out!

How do PS Vita details change how you feel about 3DS (if at all)?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIaJHh60hQY[/youtube] Sony named, dated, and priced its new handheld today. Dubbed PS Vita, the touch and control enabled handheld is as powerful as modern consoles. It supports interoperable multiplayer with PS3, and has a street pass like feature called “near.” Oh, and it’s $250, just like 3DS, and launching this fall. That said, it’...
Microsoft at e3, how did they fare?
The Microsoft conference has come and gone and you know what? Their presser seemed very….Nintendo. The majority of titles at the Microsoft presser seemed to be geared toward the market Nintendo has worked so hard to capture the last couple of years. Also, there seemed to be a lack of any new IPs from Microsoft aside from some Kinect stuff. ?If I was a kid, a lot of the Kinect titles would be...
The EA e3 press conference, what does it all mean to the average Nintendo fan?
EA has given their press conference, and boy was it a doozie. Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, and a new Insomniac title were all shown, but as a Nintendo console owner, what does it all mean to you? No mention of Nintendo was  given at the EA event today, but I have a sneaking suspicion they may be holding their final cards until Nintendo’s event tomorrow morning. Wouldn’t it be neat ...
Poll: Where will you play video games next?
In light of this, that, and the other, I want to know: {democracy:149}
