BBC report on E3 Nintendo performance
"Nintendo's conference was like a retirement home for classic game developers as Toru Iwatani, the brains behind Pac-Man, played on-stage against Mario wunderkind, Shigeru Miyamoto, who is currently working on an all-new Pac-Man title.
Refreshingly self-critical, the assembled masses were told of the mistakes the big N made with marketing the GameCube, and the difficulty the traditionally family-orientated company was having in appealing to modern, gore-obsessed players.
But their president, Satoru Iwata, in a nod to the Grand Theft Auto series, assured Nintendo-philes: "You won't see Mario shoot a hooker".
And while we were assured the GameCube had a rosy future, its successor is already officially in development."
*chuckles*

Of course that should read "Microsoft announcing the Xbox 2 a very long time ago. "

The problem is Mr Stripes, having already used the scoring method in a couple of posts below, you yet again come off as a wannabe imitator.

Sony announced the PS3 quite a long time ago too don't forget, not no mention Microsoft announcing the Xbox a very long time ago, so it's not just Nintendo.

Grow up and restrict your posts to those that concern you, or those that you can offer more than moron comments to."
Here's the problem, is Goatboy talking into a mirror, or to someone else?
Place your bets now!

Yep.
What Latin (capital L please gerrid) poetry is that?
It's been a while since I took Latin but I reckon I can still rustle some up.

Coming back to the original point of the topic, I reckon there's definitely something up when a company starts talking about a successor to their console less than a year after it's been released in this country. Nintendo were talking about the GameCube 2 less than 12 months after it was released in the UK. Maybe this puts a few people off?

Actually, young hove, it was because I am doing latin poetry at the moment. You are just providing light relief. And may I say you're quite good at it. Do you get a lot of practice?

Nope, that's just more of a perk really. What else is there to do when at work?

4 pages of replies in under 2 hours would indicate my morning was spent having fun.
