Default What is wrong with Nintendo?

They just made a new announcement. WTF?? Don't get me wrong, I love the Gamecube and the GBA.. I just don't understand what they are trying to do here. Compete with themselves? With a super odd platform? A completely new super odd platform I must say. Check it out..

Based on just the info in that article, it sounds like a decent concept for certain games. It's short on details, though, so it doesn't seem like we really know what this new product will be like.

It's like the idea of an HUD I guess. Feed yourself more information in the same general area. I think it'll probably really enhance game play. They already have a similar idea going between the GBA and the gamecube for games like Zelda.

I probably won't get one, but it sounds pretty cool.

Remember the Virtual Boy? Whenever Nintendo does wierd crap that requires 3rd party programmers to conform to a specific, specialized format, they fail. I'll bet anyone that this will be no exception.
