I spent ages writing another comment, but then the internet connection broke as I submitted, loosing it all. Recap: Reggie can't compare a DSi with a computer.
@Shadx: The Wii is the most casual and popular console there is, and a big fragment of the mass are families with toddlers. If you make a game you can expect to fail, you should produce it on a platform with A) a lot of owners and B) unexperienced owners. That's why recent Sonic games are so successful yet bad. For a kid: Popular videogame character + Any popular topic = Instant wish.
Of course Reggie says he doesn't see the iPad as a threat, it's advertising. Yet I find it ignorant to call the iPad a weak gaming device; it may does not feature cartridges or such, but there are some large games available at the App Store, such as Street Fighter 4. Also, the DSi is also supposed to handle utilities, an area which clearly rules the iPad. At last, the iPad's hardware is superior to the DSi in every aspect.
The gameplay looks epic, but why the safety jacket? Are you to throw away the controller in frustration or waggling like crazy again? They didn't even wear one in Megaman or Dr. Mario.
So? Is it unusual that a popular developer is interested in collaborating with another developer, especially if the other dev happens to be one of the biggest videogame industry of all time?
I was awaiting this for a long time, and sadly, missed the cool pre-order because I couldn't find it anywhere. I was too hoping for a 9/10, but I still will definitely get this.
Sure, all this 3D relates to the Virtual Boy, but making yet another pair of giant goggles that cause headaches wouldn't make any sense. Personally, I don't really need 3D effects, but if it works properly, it'll surely be nice with headtracking and motion capturing.
It definitely won't be a game. You have to think about marketing strategy; it contradicts too much. If you hype something too much up, people will start making up a fictional product and compare the actual one to the one that's made up. Also, we already get 3 Nintendo games, so that could decrease the sales. Like I said, I can't think of anything that would fit.
Let's see... New game? No, we already get 3 new Nintendo-games this year. Wii 2? No, too early, and HD isn't for the casual market. New DS? Too early either, plus it would confront with the DSi XXL. I have no idea what they could release.
Bought the game 2 days ago, and it's awesome. The only problem is that I hate Manga and Anime to death, and it looks like Capcom tried to bash in as much Anime as possible too. I mean, Megaman Vollnut? What were they thinking?

Re: Nintendo Insists That Apple's iPad Isn't a Threat
Also, at the end it's about who makes more money.
It's just a different approach to games.

Re: Nintendo Insists That Apple's iPad Isn't a Threat
@Damo: I'm unsure if I ever get to open this news again, so I can hardly care.
Re: Transformers: War for Cybertron Deemed Too Aggressive for Wii
@24: No weapon. Hilarious.

Oh, and the iPad wins at Virtual Console as well.
Re: Mothers Against Violence: Violent Games Aren't to Blame, Parents Are
My parents are suspicious about +16-rated games though I am 16 already.
Re: Transformers: War for Cybertron Deemed Too Aggressive for Wii
I am speechless.
Re: Review: Fishie Fishie (WiiWare)
Looks fun, but I'm not sure if I want this.
Re: North American Club Nintendo Adds Some More Games, Stuff
They forgot Hotel Mario in the history poster.
Re: Happy "Nintendo Life" Anniversary!
Hate to spoil the party, but the cake looks barely edible.
Re: Fishie Fishie
If it's on-button, couldn't they make it up to 8 player?
I mean, plugging in a nunchuck to not use the wiimote makes hardly sense to me.
Re: New Jett Rocket Shots Blast Off
I thought that was an 360 game when I saw the thumbnail.
Looks incredible.
Re: It's Tough at the Top for Nintendo
Increased pressure?
Aren't japanese employees already working like crazy?
Re: New Metroid: Other M Gameplay Trailer
@25: It's like Heavy Rain, but you get to press buttons.
Re: Grinder Remains a First-Person Shooter on Wii
PS3 and 360 owners didn't seem to care anyway when they said it would be for them too.
Re: New Metroid: Other M Gameplay Trailer
@5: Hey, that was in the 90.
Don't blame her.
The gameplay looks epic, but why the safety jacket?

Re: Red Steel 2 Blunted After Poor UK Chart Debut
Why is everyone hating Ubisoft?

Re: Review: Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver (DS)
The second generation is my least favorite one.

If we can watch movies on an iPod...
Re: Donkey Kong World Record Smashed
For his patients, his reliability raised over 500%.
Re: See the Latest myPostcards Video From Nnooo
I still think this is the worst company name ever.
Also, now I am afraid of random passengers asking me to photograph them and handing over a DSi.
Re: Interviews: Akaoni - Zombie Panic in Wonderland
Looks like a decent "port" from DSiWare to WiiWare.
Re: Order Your Limited Edition Monster Hunter 3
I want one.
That and the Red Steel 2 preorder.
Re: Robox
Eh, I am a bit suspicious.
I can't see anything special on the screenshots.
Re: BIT.TRIP RUNNER Gameplay Trailer
Wow, it blew my expectations.
I wonder how they'll include the 8-bit submissions they asked for some weeks ago.
Re: And Yet It Moves
@11: They're the developers.
I've met them yesterday, and they're certainly not homeless.
Rather indie.
Also, the gameplay has changed.
You have now 360°-control of the gravity.
Re: First Impressions: Metroid: Other M
This game has the most unique controls ever.
Can't wait to play it.
Re: Live Text: European Gamers Summit 2010
Seriously, Nintendo?
Other M for Q3?
I envy the US.
Re: WiiWare and DSiWare Release Dates Announced
SMB and Cave Story will be mine.
Also, Wario Ware: DIY Showcase sounds interesting too.
Re: Capcom Reveals Everything You Want To Know About Monster Hunter 3
YES!
Re: Review: GhostSlayer (WiiWare)
What I said.
Nice idea, but it just couldn't make it.
Re: Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M Coming This Summer
Hooray!
I need money.
Re: Super Meat Boy Coming to Xbox Live Arcade
Team Meat is dead for me.
Yet I want this game so bad...
Re: Nintendo Patents Touch Screen Rumble Feature
Wait, who says the rumble pack is in the stylus?
If Nintendo doesn't put them into the screen, they'd be plain dumb.
Re: Nintendo Cereal System Sells For $200
I'm not sure if they still taste Super, Mario.

Re: Rogue Listing On Retailer Website
Parsec measures distance.
Well, at least he didn't use lightyears.
Re: GhostSlayer Trailer Appears to Spook You
I'm always suspicious about those 3D-WiiWare games.
No excuse here.
Re: Upcoming Media Summit Promises Surprises, Hype
Let's see...
New game? No, we already get 3 new Nintendo-games this year.
Wii 2? No, too early, and HD isn't for the casual market.
New DS? Too early either, plus it would confront with the DSi XXL.
I have no idea what they could release.
Re: The Nintendo DS in Breakfast Form
First one who comes up with a Cooking-game joke gets 2 Internets!
Re: ONM Cross-Examines Capcom on Ace Attorney
@2: Me too.
But a Gumshoe game? Hell yes!
Re: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Bought the game 2 days ago, and it's awesome.
The only problem is that I hate Manga and Anime to death, and it looks like Capcom tried to bash in as much Anime as possible too.
I mean, Megaman Vollnut?
What were they thinking?
Re: Tetris Party Deluxe Dropping Into Wii and DS
I choose Dr Mario over Tetris, but with Wi Speak?
Lovely.
Re: DS2 Rumour Is Rumour No More
And I was about to buy one in March...
Re: Review: WarMen Tactics (WiiWare)
Duh, I guess?
I don't trust Action-Shooter on the WiiWare.
Re: Developer Allegedly Has DS2 Kit
@7: They call that an iPod Touch.
Or an iPad, if you will.
