I love Nintendo.
I'm so tired of consoles being stronger and stronger.
My computer has a 3.6ghz + Corsairs ddr2 twin2x1024 675mhz + eax800xt-pe (Only need games now). I just want something new, not just a limited pc feature console.

Doesn't look fake at all, there's so much work in this.

Interesting concept.

I doubt you'll get exercise. I think the sensor only works by relative starting position. You take a step closer to the base unit and you move forward, step back you stop, another step and you go backwards.

It's pretty neat that your head movements change the view, though.

I don't know... I feel that that kind of gaming experience would not be good for my child.

The best game / exercise thing I ever played on was this:

It was fantastic, stick these in every gym and you'd sort out the obesity problems. I can remember when I was little playing on one, getting off dripping with sweat, going in a pool to cool down then doing the whole thing over again. :-)

I'd definitely buy one of those - if they ever make them, I'll be first in line. Imagine how cool it would be to play something like Counterstrike or other FPS on that. 8O

I don't think I could take it - I would die of sheer joy.

Yip. Was it really as late as 1996? I'm 19 now, so I'd have been 9 or 10.

Ho I thought you were older. I'm 17.

I think I know what this video is all about.
Nintendo said that they won't show the real system (prototype) at the E3. So they might show us a video, and this one might be it. Some kind of leak, that would explain why it's incomplete, E3 presentation videos are always long.

Just my guess.

EDIT: Redrum, how did you find this video?

Hmm. Please please please don't let it have one of those itty bitty cameras in the visor that looks where your eyes are looking and alters the viewpoint to match.

I have alternating exotropia and they don't work on me. Fortunately, doesn't affect anything else I do and I can still fly, apparently.
