I would have sworn I saw something saying Mario Galaxy would NOT be a release title.

On the other topic...I am capable of using dual analog controllers like that of the XBox (couple friends enjoy Halo's split-screen Slayer), but I feel much more comfortable using a single analog and action buttons or, even better, keyboard and mouse.

It looks too close to being finished for it not to be a launch title. But hey, if they delay it, it'll probably turn out even more awesome...

It would be nice if it was a launch title, since we haven't had a Mario launch title since '96.

Of course, GameCube had Luigi's Mansion as a launch title, and, even though I haven't played it, Luigi kicks ass.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Luigi's mansion was pretty good, but I don't think Nintendo will make the mistake of launching two consoles in a row without a Mario as a launch title.

So their launch titles look like they're going to be LOZ: Twilight Princess, Mario Universe (hopefully), and the tennis/baseball/golf game.

In a manner of speaking, he was present at the Gamecube launch, Mario was in Super Smash Brothers Melee, he just wasn't featured with his OWN game.

Did they say SSB Brawl was not a launch game?? I think THAT is going to be a cool game. That super attack Mario launched that consumed the entire map was something I can't wait to try.

I heard "Early" in 2007. We should be playing it before this time next year. I hope.

Marth/Roy back I really hope.

Wonder what kind of hidden characters there will be? Melee had...11 unlockable on top of the 12 standard characters.

Personally I think Zero Suit Samus was a dumb idea. The most sacred thing about Samus was that no one had ever seen her without her suit on and Nintendo had to go ruin it all.

What are you talking about? Samus has been seen without her suit on since the very first game! It's never been a big secret! Or... a secret of any kind.

A survey in Japan has pointed out that 78% of japanese gamers are unhappy with the current PS3.

And all blue-ray demonstrations from Sony were frauds. They were lying, using normal DVDs on the presentations. The Blue-Ray functionality is not working yet.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Ouch. Talk about taking your own credibility and shooting it in the foot, tying a stone around its neck and hurling it into an abyss.

Then, of course, there's the lack of high-end BluRay outputs in the lower-priced PS3 console. You have to spend the $600 to get them. Sony's killing themselves here. I can't believe that they would be this ignorant.

Good. I want Sony out of the race, to be frank. They're responsible for pushing the other innovators - Sega - out of the console business. And in all honesty, for all the mainstream awareness the PSX gave videogames; it also unleashed a maelstrom of crappy games (not to mention a culture of poorly-designed and faulty hardware). I knew PSX owners that had to turn their systems upside down to get them to work within 3 years of owning one. And 14 years later, my Megadrive still works. 'Nuff Said.

about that. Apparently Sony had two laptops side by side. One running Blu-Ray and one running DVD (for comparison). The one that the guy opened contained the DVD. The whole thing was overblown.

If that's the case, then I guess it is overblown, but it doesn't change the fact that Sony's market strategy is extremely stupid.

It's going to be a great generation for games.

You've got Microsoft and Sony competing on the horsepower front.... having two commercial Frankensteins forcing each other to throw their entire weights behind their products is a good thing (expensive, but good.) Gone are the days when companies that wanted to compete visually could manage to turn profit on their hardware.... having to keep up with the Jonses is forcing both of them to cram unbelievable amounts of power into small packages and sell each individual unit at a large loss. They both have interesting, beautiful games on the horizon (and the 360 already has a classic in Oblivion as well as a couple other genuinely great games.) Having just bought a new car my checkbook is spread a little thin at the moment so the 600 dollar price tag is a little daunting.... but I'll find a way to scrape it up.

Nintendo, not having the same amount of financial stability (being a bottomless pit of funds and the ability to take a loss on each hardware unit without batting an eye) as the other two, has taken a completely different route. Given the fact that the console will be a completely different experience and will most likely be dirt cheap I'll definitely pick one up.

Fanboys and nostalgia whores aside, the industry hasn't been this appealing in ages.

I suppose Nintendo does have a fair amount of financial stability. At one point they could have simply lived off Game Boy and Pokémon,and they probably still could. I'm just glad that they still feel compelled to innovate.
