that royally kicks ass..

imagine metroid with that..... it's cool enough that it's one of the first to make full use of both the numchuck and wiimote, but with a heads to boot, holly crap, you could dodge jump and the works.... look to the side and everything....

WTB a 1080p capable version of a nintendo wii with the new graphics system and this technology in full blown use.

I saw that a few weeks ago, absolutely amazing. It's really interesting to see where this tech can, and will, go.

I checked out the kids website, and it kills me that he works at a fast food joint.

no kidding....

usually how it works, the people with all the cash in the world and the rediculious connections at thier disposal usually end up in the top end jobs in the case where they usually have a higher chance of doing a poorer job then these people that genuinely know what they are doing, doing amazing work, being incredibly creative and stuck at the dead end job of working a fast food joint, janitorial work or something worse.

Seriously, if a nintendo rep saw that, they should emediately forward it over to some of the engineers and emediately offer the guy a job.

on a side note, did you see what some twat wrote in the comments?
somthing like "you can do this on ps3 with the eye toy" ...... moron.

EDIT: oh and i got the impression he is working at a fast food joint because he is at uni..?
