*Sighs* it's a grid-based touchscreen indeed, but underneath that touchscreen is an LCD screen... It's tech-stuff but it's relatively easy to guess even when not mentioned because you can *see* it.

give me the time mark were he says LCD and i quick the site for a week
LOL, I admire the humour in your post but I simply implied that LCD is not the only option when it comes to handhelds - one could use a basic LED display (VirtualBoy), a more advanced LED display based on incredibly small LED's (OLED's and the sort) or like nowadays, utilize bioluminescent materials which aren't "exactly the same" as LCD's.

It wasn't much of a point, but it was mainly agreeing with you that by a simple process of elimination of the touch screen consoles Nintendo have released, it couldn't be anything else but an LCD (which was being referred to in the commentary). When the DS was being constructed they went with what was commonly popular, and not magic magnetic etch-a-sketch dust.
Obviously you are correct, but as we've seen in today's display of Valwinning, common sense and deduction do not apply when it comes to Nintendo-related subjects, apparently.LOL, I admire the humour in your post but I simply implied that LCD is not the only option when it comes to handhelds - one could use a basic LED display (VirtualBoy), a more advanced LED display based on incredibly small LED's (OLED's and the sort) or like nowadays, utilize bioluminescent materials which aren't "exactly the same" as LCD's.

Now, if I said that the PSMove is not a copy of the WiiMote as rather then an IR sensor it uses coloured lights, I would cause an uproar of Nintendo fanboys who will disagree saying it's the "exact same thing".
Ah, the wonders of them internetz.
this could end up pretty bad for ol Reggie. if nintendo of japan doesnt take too kindly to his claiming everything as his. Not that i dont believe NoA has no influence, but it sure seems that most of Nintendo's stuff comes from Japan.
Also, this will be TERRIBLE when Sony and Microsoft decide to counter. i can already forsee the next E3 as more of a war over who's more original

Yeah, I guess you're right. Perhaps a Mod's vaccum cleaner will sort this out. You know me, you know I get the itches when he says something silly.
Well, from what I've heard, I don't think Reggie was using that "my" to refer to himself, but, was rather using it to refer to the company as a whole. I've heard that many times so far, so, it's easy to distinguish when one uses "my" to refer to himself or my to refer to the company. That aside, Reggie does have a point, Nintendo creates stuff, and someone else copies it. That's business. So, he's not wrong. What he said it's true. It's good to hear that he's not too concerned about it though. Nintendo has proven that, as long as they bring innovation first, they'll always be in the lead in this industry. Otherwise, I can't explain why the two innovations they brought to the gaming world a few years ago, named Wii and DS, sold so well.
Innovation doesn't always sell well, the technology has to be tested before it is introduced and it has to be actually useful and fun.
Examples of "failed innovation" by Nintendo:
1. VirtualBoy (first 3D portable system, failed due to imperfect visuals that caused headaches)
2. Nintendo 64 (first 64-bit system, performed poorly in comparison to its main competitor, the PSX due to small cartridge size despite being stronger specs-wise, considered a sales failure)
3. Nintendo GameCube (first system to utilize miniDVD as a medium, failed for the exact same reason)
Innovation is all fun and dandy, but the product needs to reach a certain level of quality to be successful - if it doesn't it means that said innovation was stupid in the first place and in fact shouldn't be introduced.
It sucks seeing the heads of companies nowadays accusing each other of copying ideas instead of shutting the fuck up and doing something useful in their lives. Like taking an awesome shit or getting high.
I think he's got a point. You just need to see Kinect and Ps Move to know what he is talking about. As it has been stated several times, corporal business it's like this. Of course that if the Wii-U fails, we won't see any "copying" from other companies.
i think that since I'm in the middle of Mexico and Brasil, I found that bit more interesting. NoA giving some support for the latin-american community? that great news although on the other hand, NoA isn't very good nowdays... NoJ>NoE>NoA

Hmm...going by that last part in the interview I'd say he certainly got that "getting high" part going.It sucks seeing the heads of companies nowadays accusing each other of copying ideas instead of shutting the fuck up and doing something useful in their lives. Like taking an awesome shit or getting high.
Furthermore...pretty diplomatic answers. Not too surprisingly: the way we all get uppity on him saying "me" instead of "us" means he is pretty aware that a straight out answer can come back to haunt him. The answer on "how do you see the markets in five years for now?" was a bit waaaay off, though. Congrats on not saying anything whatsoever on that one.
But through the diplomacy...he doesn't seem to come over as a real gamer, but that's okay (same as Hollywood actors: they don't have to watch their own movies to be good at making good movies).
...but, and that's what I think is more important: he does believe in the technology. And that gives me a good feeling, ironically enough exactly because he expects Sony and Microsoft to copy it at some point (yeah, yeah...he didn't say it out loud. Diplomacy, y'know?).
The game.com certainly didn't popularize/standardize the touch screen, the DS did. Nor was the analogue stick a console staple until the 64 controller came along.
Who cares what he says though?
What the hell?
1. With the advent of the 3DS, you should know by now that the "virtual Boy causes headaches" thing is an urban myth.
2. The 64s innovation was the analogue stick, and later, the rumble pak. Both fared fine. 64-bit processing was just par for the course, not innovation. Also, the 64 wasn't a failure.
3. Because there were no blank medium for it at the time, miniDVDs were to combat piracy; there's nothing innovative in using a gimped medium to store your games. The innovation we saw from the Gamecube was inter-system (GBA to GC) connectivity.
EDIT: Sorry. I don't want to be a dick. I just disagreed with what you said. Best buds forever?
