More Wii2 stuff: According to
IGN, Wii2 aka Project Cafe aka Stream (as in the console
streams the game into the controllers' LCD touch screens) will be sporting a customized AMD graphics card which outperforms the PS3's. It will also be released early 2012 with a $350-400 price point. Wii then Stream? Seriously?
Kotaku blogs that the Playstation 4 and the Xbox, umm, 720?, will be released 2014 at the earliest. If this is true, and Nintendo does indeed release a significantly more powerful console in 2012, Nintendo will have a 2-year free reign of having the biggest bad boy in town. Of course, Microsoft and Sony are expected to bring out consoles that will significantly overshadow the Wii2 power-wise. The question now is, will the Wii2 be a Sega Dreamcast situation, releasing first and dying a quick death, or a Playstation 2 situation, releasing before its more powerful generation-mates and dominating?
This week's
Steam Weekend Deal: Metro 2033 (
Metacritic Average 81/100). A gorgeous-looking first-person shooter based on a book set in post-apocalyptic Moscow. As usual, the future of what's left of humanity is in your hands. $10.
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario and Zelda and etc. etc., has announced that they will do their best to release
the next 3D Mario on 3DS this year. A 3D platformer on a 3D screen? That's a lot of D's!
Peter Vesterbacka, developer of Angry Birds, the most downloaded AppStore/Android Market game, is #7 in Times Magazine's
2011 Time 100 most influential people of the world. I guess selling a reskinned version of an
old AND FREE and already derivative Flash game makes you influential now, ey? Ey?
Gonna reskin Gorilla.bas and sell it on the AppStore. 2012 Time 100 here I come!
