yoyo

Don't worry, didn't take any of it personally and I expect it when suggesting an outlandish idea. I understand the whole 'undermining each other' argument, but I guess cause i'm an economic analyst I always see benefit in a laissez faire tactics, regardless of the market. I really don't believe that people buy any console soley for certain games and exclusives though, and I could really see this plan stimulating both. Either way why on earth have so many launch-window games come out with crisp screenshots of 480x800?

Yes that would be called connectivity, but what your post did was label this connectivity, then make it completely analogous with gimmicky goodies made from linking consoles together

I don't know how you've managed to read this and shoehorn the word 'connectivity' to replace 'compatibility' at every given opportunity, but anyway.. Yes, you're completely right that this won't be a requirement or add much unique, but that's not it's purpose. This suggestion isn't some glorified version of the ideas present in GC's Four Swords Adventure or Crystal Chronicles. That was undoubtably a very expensive, confusing affair. A home console and a portable are very different pieces of hardware. As you know, as such people buy them both for different reasons. I rarely met anyone whose GBA(GB/GBC) to GC(Snes/N64) connector completely undermined buying either console. Albeit this is on a bigger scale, but the reasoning remains the same. Having cross-console compatability as such won't undermine the sales of one. Cafe will offer a different, but by no means superior, experience. Developers have already stated that they are curious about the manufacturing costs of the the controllers, and being able to use the 3DS as one for multiplayer can alleviate this, though 3DS and controllers won't be in direct competition.

Although I honestly appreciate the critique and understand your skepticism, please do a little research if you're attempting to completely counter my claims: On the N6, if you visit the major gaming forums (gamefaqs/ign/gamespot) forums they all use N6/Wii2/Cafe interchangeably. If it wasn't used on here I apoligise for not using the appropriate lingo.

1. One of many such developer reports, call bogus if you will, but there's a huge amount of such reports from credible sources. 2. Nintendo indeed condemned Glasses-3D. However, at no point did they say that 3D wouldn't be part of their Next gen console. What they in fact said was that it would not be a core selling point or fundamental, due to the small 3D-TV market share. Implementation of a firmware update allowing for 3D output is also virtually costless. 3. People seem to be either calling it the Wii 2 or N6 everywhere i've seen, just thought i'd join the trend.

Yo peoples, long time no post. I hope that doesn't put you off a theory that i've come up with for the Next Gen console. (If there's a thread on this specific point feel free to move) I think all evidence is pointing towards the N6 and the 3DS will be sideways compatible. We already have reports heavily 'implying' that the 3DS can be used as an N6 controller, and it just takes putting the pieces together; Some form of handheld compatibility was present from the SNES to the GC, N6 will support 3D and have touchscreen controller 3DS supports 3D and has a touch screen controller Many find the 3DS's 3D ability awkward or (slightly) headache inducing on a small screen Unlike 2d games, it's agreed many 3D handheld games work naturally better on a larger screen. Especially when many of these revamped ports started off on consoles. As we can see with the PSP remastered series for the PS3 Many shots of 3DS games have come out in much higher res than 240x400 , (Pilot wings, Mercenaries and DOA all have non-upscaled shots of 480x800) and it's been stated that the 3DS has the ability to pump out a much higher effective resolution, it just wasn't cost effective to implement. So here's the conclusion A firmware update will allow the 3DS to be used as a controller. 3DS games are also inbuilt with two different resolutions, 240x400, and a currently unrealised 480x800. The N6 will also have a port of some kind for 3ds games. The difference is the games wont necessarily be made soley for the 3ds, and will be a much more fundamental part of the platform then previous compatibility attempts. What does everyone think? Examples of Hi-Res (non-upscaled) 3DS screens;

I completely agree about the 3DS, it is unnappealing to me too. My post was just making the point of Nintendo giving consumers exactly what they wanted out of it, and thus it's not like Nintendo fucked up. It's still a fantastic system, but NGP is essentially perfect from a technical perspective. And the battery... I've heard they originally expected 6-8 hours, but are now expecting 4-5, so depending on what source for both, they about average out.

Well, they gave everybody exactly what they expected of the console; -Wii level graphics -Analogue stick -Friend Code System overhaul -Functial 3D gimmick -Great 3rd party support can you really think of anything else you really wanted from it?? Battery life is going to be an even bigger issue on the NGP than the 3DS, and that's neither companies fault. R&D is going to take atleast another 5 years before we get High Capacity batteries on a commercial scale

Wow, usually I naturally set phasers to 'fanboy' and would be looking for holes in this.. but good lord this looks awesome EVERYTHING you could hope for in a handheld, and alot more you didn't even realise you wanted. I mean grats to nintendo they made all the right decisions with 3ds, but dayum.. this is just a whole new level of awesome.

Six hundred thousand people die in the UK every year. Most of the time you just have to be lighthearted about it, calling people cunts becaue they're laughing at some woman who directly contributed nothing to our society. And seriously black humour has always been a big part of british humour, for people to get offended is just ridiculous. She lived by the media and died by the media, along the way acheiving nothing positive. Most of the time just being a wanker. A joke or sarcastic comment shouldn't hurt. Yes she might have helped make the nation more aware of cervical cancer, but with was undoubtably an indirect effect from all the media coverage. All her stories made it sound like she was the only person ever to go through such an endeavour. And also yes she used the money to get her kids a saving fund, that was a good thing to do and might excuse the ridiculous media attention she got. Whether it will pan out as good for her kids is another matter. But gotta say I am grateful there are no "Hey don't say that guys my [insert relative here] died of cancer!" like elsewhere, fucking irritates me. Everybody know someone who's died, of cancer of not of. Death does not mean people should be devoid of scrutiny, especially when it's not to their face and even moreso when they live their death like Jade. The reason it's in the paper is to do with the public and the shitty media though, which would rather spend more time telling us about petty bullshit that people are guaranteed to read (The maddie stayed in the first 6 pages of the papers constantly for what? 9 months?) educating us. The fact that the sun is the UkS best selling paper really should tell you something about what the average readers interests are.

If you are planning on going on a night out and getting trashed, make sure you masturbate 3 times within the 2 hours before you go out. This will: Make you less agressive Make you think situations through more Make you come onto unattractive girls less Help you to stay aware of whats going on around you Make girls more attracted to you Makes you less impressionable Decreases your chances of getting depressed Makes you last longer if you do manage to get laid Although obviously this also depends on who you are with and how much you've had to drink. Since me and contemporaries put this 'Golden Rule' into action our nights out have (although probably not become much 'funner') become safer and less regrettful the next morning, and stops you being remembered as a drunken arsehole.

Well I used to do marijuana pretty often, and to be honest all it did was mess with my work ethic...which was bad enough. I don't regret it though, some of the happiest times of my life have been drug sessions with mates (call that sad if you will). Some of my mates still do it regulary, and although i won't say it doesn't do too much to you, in my personal experience it seems to depend more on your personality how much it affects you than anything. One of the cleverest kids at my school does it multiple times a week, and he's still an outgoing straight-A student.

Actually there's 5 episodes left, We're only at the midpoint through the season now. And it's actually not too bad at all for a British comedy series, most only have 6-8 episodes per season.

OK ATTENTION! I know most of you probably don't care, but i'm in deep shit. I have an As-level english debate tomorrow, the school screwed up and we only have had since monday to do it. I should be able to blag it, but can some people please give me some points to work with? I have to argue that: "The reason there is so much focus on American Politics in the British media is due to UK politics being boring." I know nothing of politics! I should be able to blag it a bit, but can someone give me some points that I might be able to stretch out? Thanks a million, YoYo

Well I was predicted all A*s, unfortunately they based it rounds CATS and maths results and didn't take my horrible work ethic into consideration: Maths: A* Science: AA English: AB History: A* Business studies: B Theatre studies : B Spanish: B Music : B
