I bet there's a huge market for products that look like they've been stained by years of heavy cigarette smoke.

Looks absolutely amazing. It's literally the same color as a lot of Zelda themed stuff. Too bad under the pretty case it's insanely overpriced.

Nothing with only 1 USB port looks "amazing."

@CaviarMeths It's a USB-C port. The new Macbook is terrible value.

It's the old one and I wasn't commenting on the laptop itself. Although if you do want my thoughts in a couple of sentences then I'll just say that it's an overpriced web-surfing machine. No fan I like, USB-C is fantastic but the lack of ports is stupid and so is the price given you can get a similar "web browsing" machine for a fifth of the price. With that said the look of the laptop itself, both the one pictured and their new one, is actually pretty good. Infact the fact that it looks decent is a large part of what makes the horrendous colour unappealing. It's just tacky.

If you think it's cool then go ahead however I really, really hope this doesn't become a thing. Other companies are already chasing after this crap in the same way that they've already been stripping down the number of ports. I just don't want to see more companies copying this garbage. Particularly console manufacturers who are making what is essentially AV gear for under your TV. I hope it stops before it gets that far because if it doesn't eventually someone will give us only one option.

Imagine this... 2018, Wii U 2, free U2 album in the box.... 2 SKUs, one 32GB in black and the other 512GB in Gold.... ugh... no...

I would rather have a color that matches my gaming setup like black or white than gold at any freaking time.

Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

Uh...guys? That's a fake image. It's just a recolor of an older MacBook Air that was never gold. This is the right image.

It's so bland and colorless though.

Nintendo systems will never be seen as status symbols. The only reason Apple can pull that crap is because they're really good at fooling people into believing that their stuff is high quality.

They just need to make clear Wii U consoles, then they will fly off shelves

It's called 'champagne' /s

Anyway, none of the Zelda hardware has been this color FYI. The golden Wiimote and ALBW 3DS XL were both more sparkly and a yellower shade of gold.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

Indeed. Nintendo's found a way to make gold even uglier than it already is, it seems.

They're trending up. The MM3DS XL is a shiny gold, but it's smoother and a truer shade than the overly yellowy ALBW 3DS.
