Well technically the Rev doesn't have a tiku tiku tiku!  image yet.  It looks pretty cool and hi-techy actually.

And it doesn't exactly have a lack of buttons, with the shell it actually has more.  Making this the simpliest yet most complex controller ever.

Yo Momma's so old, when GOD said let there be light, she flicked the switch
yeah I know its old, keep reading, it might get better

Yo Momma's so fat, when she tried to jump off the curb she got stuck
ok, so it didn't get better, let me try again

Yo Momma's so ugly, that when she had you, the doctor slapped her
ok, I think I liked that one, that was good right?

Yo Momma's so stupid, she sold her car for gas money
ahh, c'mon, can I get a hi-five

Yo Momma's so short, she poses for trophies
Have I hurt your feelings yet

Yo Momma's so nasty, she made right guard turn left
her armpits are so hairy, it looks like she got buckwheat in a head lock

Is that enough dirty dozens?

But atleast then people would recognize the characters and then maybe considering picking up FE.

I think any association with SSBM would only be a plus for FE and could actually help pick up more sales for both titles.

These UK hardware sales aren't actually publicly released, but a Nintendo PR guy who posts on Gaming-Age Forums posted them.

The thing about:

Quote

Possible format: diagonal burned dvd's. Some time ago i saw a article (very long ago, so don't have a link sorry) about some mod-guys making a diagonal cd-burner and what gives, if you burn the holes diagonal you can fit way more on the disk (space beteen the lines get thinner), then they tried it with a DVD-burner and they could fit 40 gb of data on a normal dvd.
So we have a near impossible to copy medium that can fit tons of data and uses existing technology but applied differently...sounds very Nintendo now does it (except the tons of data), fits the giving hints too...

I think you are confuce with that, at least I think you are mixing things up a bit... You are probably confuse with  the new Perpendicular Hard Drives which store the data on vertical (standig uprigt, perpendicular) position, instead of vertical (flat, horizontal) position... Look at it like if you had a bunch of pensils... you can get many more pensils verticaly than horizontaly (asuming you can't stack them one on top of an other)...

Then again, I have heard of some tecnologies, like holographic recording... so maybe that posible format you mention does exist... if you remember where you got the info from don't forget to link to it! That said... I don't think they will use that... but who knows!

I think he was talking about
VMD (Versatile Multilayer Disc)

Quote
Versatile Multilayer Disc is similar to DVD9 in that it is a multilayer technology. It is an advanced optical disc that enables mobile storage to be realized at unprecedented price-to-performance levels; far beyond the realm of existing DVD technology, it quadruples DVD storage capacity with no disruption or cost penalty to consumers, content providers or manufacturers.

"NME's multilayer disc offers the possibility to achieve capacities equivalent to 'next generation' blue laser based discs such as Blu-ray - i.e. up to 50GB - using the red laser technology employed by today's DVDs. The discs can also be played on standard DVD-R drives with only minor modifications."

We can offer the consumer and media industry a 40GB VMD disc that performs and features all aspects of DVD9 for a very similar price to a 8.5GB DVD9."

"With only a small software change to existing drives, which our partners have already agreed to incorporate, and full backward compatibility, it makes the decision to adopt very easy for all parties. In my opinion it is a 'no brainer' and a 'slam dunk' proposition."

This is using existing technology (including your current DVD drives/players) in a different way.  But as much as I would be relieved to hear Nintendo using this I would be even more shocked that they were actually using it.

General Chat / RE:Thursday is Judgement Day

UPDATE:  Jack Thompson No Longer On The Case

Quote
Last week the defense put forth a pair of motions that Fayette County Circuit Judge James Moore had yet to rule on: one asking for the case to be thrown out entirely, and another asking that Thompson be dismissed from the case for violations of legal ethics. The defense in particular pointed to Thompson's numerous press releases and open letters on the subject of violence in games.

One such instance occurred just days before the defense filed those motions. In a press release, Thompson characterized Japanese electronics giant Sony's willingness to allow a game as violent as Grand Theft Auto III to be distributed in the US as "Pearl Harbor 2."

"He can’t proceed with the civility the rules require," attorney for the defense Jim Smith said. "All lawyers have to conduct themselves with honesty, integrity and civility. This isn’t a street fight."

But before the judge could decide one way or the other, Thompson stepped aside, telling Game Politics, "The other side wants to make me the issue. The important thing is that the clients be served." Thompson also said it was his idea to step down, and that he wasn't being pressured to do so by the judge.

SUMMARY:

The other lawyers found Thompson to be a jackass and act like one too, so they requested that he be removed from the case.  So he(thompson) stepped down himself, but I think he may have been removed if he didn't.

In other words he bowed down gracefully with hopes to still be involved in the case somehow(called to the stand for some reason or another).

Blog Interview - Game|Life

Quote
On Hideki Konno's business card, it says "Producer, Entertainment Analysis and Development." That's significant because it's the position that once appeared on the business card of Shigeru Miyamoto.

Hideki Konno is, therefore, a man to watch out for. As a producer at Nintendo's EAD -- the Kyoto studio responsible for Super Mario and Zelda -- Konno is the man responsible for games like Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS.

Quote
Konno: We have this game with a big wok that you use to cook Chinese food, and it's really interesting to have the meat and vegetables frying in there, and use the controller to flip the food around without it spilling out of the pan.

don't have time to actually read it but there is also stuff on Nintendogs & Mario Kart. Just follow the link

He got many German investors to put up money (along with his own Nazi money) and set out to make som of the worst movies to have big named actors released on the big screen. Even if the movie made a decent amount of money, the amount of money spent to make the movie was likely never recouped.

Which means that they get to keep all of that money and write the entire project off as an over all loss there fore making 100% profit off of pure and utter crap

p.s. I have never watched an Uwe Boll movie & all info was interpreted off of a wikipedia entry and discussion about it at work.
