You know what was the weirdest thing today? Oh no, not the Mario on iPhone with bloody Miyamoto of all people crashing on the Apple conference nor the "XBOXPS4 IS HUUUEG but doesn't play 4K videos" reveal of the next PS4 model.

It's that ESL Splatoon tournament announcement for next year. A whole year away, but all the Nintendo PR accounts on Twitter in the different countries updated at the same time with the message, "hey, October next year, we are giving the NX as a prize for winners of this esports event thingy". Synchronized, prepared in advance, clearly decided by some higher up. But why?? It doesn't make any lick of sense to announce that more than a year away. It's to get people talking? Gauge interest? Get people more frustrated about not revealing the system itself any time soon? What?

Wait that thing's a year away, not like, get an NX a month early if you're a pro splatooner? What the gently caress Nintendo.

What kind of true doom Nintendohead who is that good at Splatoon wouldn't already have an NX by then

The lesson, which Nintendo apparently learned 3 years ago, is never do a live presentation. Just do pre-recorded videos.

They just announce the PS4 slim and a PS4 that has some resolution/performance improvements. It's not really a trainwreck, just dull and everything in it had leaked before. Don't bother.

my only guess is to try to keep the tourney level playerbase interested until the sequel comes out.

The entire presentation on the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro can be found here, but like Electromax said, it's pretty boring. The actual presentation is maybe an hour, and then it's them just talking to various game developers pushing their games and probably not saying anything of interest, I tuned out when they got to that point.

But like I said before, the relevant bits are "Slim is September 15 for 300, Pro is November 10 for 400," along with a lot of talk about how much more radical the Pro is.

The Wii Pro U. It's two Wii Us stacked on top of each other. The Gamepad has another Gamepad, upside down, on top of it so Player 2 can sit across from you and play.

Also I'm pretty sure what he was actually saying was that porting their back catalog to mobile would result in a bad product, because those games were all designed for controllers and would be awful on touch. And he was right about that, which is why they announced a Mario auto-runner today instead of a port of SMB.

The whole mobile plan was hatched under Iwata, he's not spinning in his grave because there's an Apple Mario now.

It doesn't play UHD Blu ray is the hilarious kicker.(personally I don't care but Microsoft's weaker one does and it's SONY'S OWN FORMAT)

The funny thing from the opposite end is Microsoft has been bragging about their ultra special color mode they had to release a new console for, while Sony is just adding it to all PS4s old and new with a firmware update.

the funny part of this is how sony obviously tricked ms into doubling down on media features nobody wants in 2016 by inventing it with their moribund non gaming divisions and then not using it themselves to increase their margin$ :cool:
