They mentioned a deck of cards too so obviously they're a street swindler doing card and dice tricks to con people out of their pocket change

I carry two, plus a battery for my phone, a coin purse, loose change, a nail clipper, a Swiss army knife, folding scissors, and some dice. And that's just in one pocket (the other is a wallet, Vita, deck of cards, and microfiber cloth). Maybe you just need to find the right pants.

Okay, sometimes it looks like I'm wearing jodhpurs but that's the price you pay for having all of your poo poo at hand all the time.

now that's how to start a day off right

So on the one hand, I'm impressed that "here's what's in my pockets" started off a tangent that went on this long. On the other hand, poo poo, it's not like we have anything concrete to talk about for the NX. I think they're going to actually talk about it at Tokyo Game Show, right? That's September 15th.

I'd expect an announcement a few days before and then doing a more hands-on showcase for TGS

Someone too boring and awkward to approach people for conversation on their own yet so thirsty for human companionship that they want to be able to jump into a conversation at the slightest excuse.

I don't think Nintendo will have an event at all. They will just put out a video, and at some point invite select press to try it at their offices, then do demo events early 2017.

Straight up hell freezing over once this game is released. A fan project made by one dude over the course of 6 years that did not fail, have a team broke up, or shut down by Nintendo.

I don't know if this is a condition unique to the Nintendo handheld threads, but every so often goons will start talking about pants pockets and it just never ends. Do the Vita threads have this problem?

I'm hoping that they've learned from the Wii U to never overestimate your target audience's ability to understand and research a product without absolutely saturating media with information on what your product is and what it does.

I hope they fully reveal the thing in a Direct during TGS week and then it's a nonstop deluge of commercials, public demos and late night circuits.

You have a coin purse, but keep lose coins in your pocket. You are the type of person, to own a coin purse and use it, but not a dice bag for the dice in your pocket.

Once he releases it into the wild he better hope it doesn't actually gain much if any attention, or enough people play it to be cool enough to pay his legal fees. I mean I hope he doesn't get sued but Nintendo is notoriously hostile towards fan projects of their IPs.

I'm asking about you, personally.

Cargo pants are for [Men Of The Pocket]

Then jeans are for [Men Of The Coin Purse]

So, which are you? You seem to be a [Man Of The Pocket] . . . but your daily life includes the [Coin Purse], doesn't it . . . ? That is, you walk around with a [Coin Purse]

Considering the dude has released a demo along with a section of the game for speed runs (Metroid: Confrontation) I think he is in the clear. I think Nintendo only has a problem if people try to make money off their stuff. Lets see in a hours or so but yeah, get those torrents/megauploads ready.

At this point I just think it's funny that everybody pounced on the coin purse so hard that nobody noticed "two 3DSes." Maybe because it was just assumed that it's an American one and a Japanese one? Which is the case, of course, but still, I thought someone would've asked about that part, at least. Iwata said, and I summarize, "region locking was a mistake because it doesn't actually help the customer," so I'm hoping the NX isn't region locked.

But if you must know, the coin purse is to hold pennies because I want to keep them away from the other coins. If I need some pennies, I don't want to have to rifle through quarters, and vice versa. And I only have four or five other coins, usually, and I can and do spend those. Pennies are a bit harder to get rid of, and there's more of them because I use them as counters in card games. It's not one of those old lady style coin purses with the clasp, it's one of those squeezy deals and it doesn't carry all that much. I have it because one of my uncles gave it to me so I figured eh, gently caress it, why not. I only have three dice, which isn't enough for a bag, and I carry them mostly because gently caress it why not, with a dose of habit on top. They're pretty small d6es, after all, and don't take up much room.
