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."

If you're bored at work, why are you on here?

Surely you're not paid to argue with strangers?

Use punctuation, capitals and complete sentences please.
I appreciate it's hard to control those flippers, but c'mon man, you're a Notable.

Because Mr. Goatboy likes to think he's having some kind of game by dangling the carrot of Nintendo criticism in front of the Nintendo fans to see them get all hot and bothered, when in actual fact he just ends up sounding like a sad aŽse.

Shame, because it took you so long to write out a decent reply with spacing and everything. I give you 7/10.

Because I was bored and this forum need some life.
Look at the amount of posts generated in short time span.

And Tiltawhirl got the idea by calling me a retard and then talking about Halo instead of trying to joust with me.
Because you'll lose.
Either you'll try so hard to be smart but trip up using made-up words or get confused and start labelling a fisherman a "fanboy".
Y'see, it's all part of a plan to waste a Monday.

So I can then go home and play Enter The Matrix, Morrowind, watch 28 Days Later and then internet porn.
Thanks for playing folks.

I don't know what thread you read.
If you look, buouy, I merely commented on your like of a poor, in my opinion, game. Once the question that had been asked was answered, by you, and others, I would have said nothing more.

But I would like to point out to you that my involvement was only sparked by your 'hilariously witty' psychoanalysis of me. If you had the self control to keep your mouth shut, there would not have been any repurcussions.

Maybe you are bitter because someone made a topic with your name in it, and then I was the first one to reply. Maybe you were upset because people started mocking your outburst. Maybe you just like arguing.
I don't know, and I don't particularly care.

And what is this "crashing a thread" nonsense? Please explain to me how I can crash a public topic with my own opinions, because my feeble little brain just can't cope. Maybe it's because I'm not 40. Oh how I wish I was 40.

Why was this posted in the Nintendo forum where hugely negative responses were going to be given right from the start?

And GC dead in 6 months?

*laughs*

2 years? Maybe. 1 year? Highly unlikely. 6 months? Ha!

Sorry but come on thats just stupid.
