Just sayin’.
Major hardware innovations and revisions come and go, often with promises that they will “change everything,” and “forever alter the way we see gaming.” Â The Nintendo 3DS delivers on these nonsense PR phrases in a very literal sense, delivering a 3D visual experience without the need for glasses – we are now looking at games in a new way, one that was not previously possible. Â It’s actually quite an amazing sight to see – but this wonderful new toy causes me great pain – because in attempt to describe it, I find myself echoing the same nonsense PR shtick I’ve been mocking for years – and I mean every word I say.
Your podcast co-host and ours, Will Thompson was one of the very first people to pick up the newest Zelda game, Skyward Sword, at the Nintendo Press Conference yesterday morning. Will’s playthrough of the demo was led by his lovely guide Amber and captured on film by Roger DiLuigi.
In this playthrough, it’s worth noting that Will got further than anyone else had up until this point and actually reached a previously unknown boss. That’s right, Will got there first. And by proxy, Infendo did too.
