Nintendo continues to say fuck-you to disabled gamers by pushing features not everyone can accomplish.

Good job people-friendly Nintendo.

Yeah! Damn Nintendo for not letting you turn the 3D off!!! Oh, wait....

Not making fun of you, but seriously, if it's in 3D, and you can turn it off, what are you mad about? That they included 3D in the first place?
I think he means the fact that not everyone can walk. Bye Play Coins!
Hello Washing Machine!

I'm sure there will be a way to cheat the Pedometer

My general view on all this hub-bub. Is it worth buying day 1? no. Am I gonna do it anyway? of course.
The DS library alone is a big enough push [the same way the GBA library was for the original DS] Plus the fact that I still own a DSL, sooo, I think an upgrade is due. Plus that 3D photo taking feature is pretty nifty

If that person has a sibling that can walk, they can use them to get play coins from walking instead, it's cruel but it works.
Ummm seriously? It sucks and all but if youre going to complain about it and they change it I will complain about it not being there.

Stop your whining

And judgeing by the launch trailer, the 3DS will have some kind of active online system akin to the 360 and PS3

Sorry i havn't actually seen the presentation, is it over?

Nothing about 3D... how would 3D even be an adversity to someone disabled? Especially since the only problem here really is positioning, and when the feature can be disabled, there's no problem at all.

The Wii and DS set themselves up to have more immersion by demanding more interaction through dexterity. Normal peeps don't have a problem with this, because the games require less action than essentially all other feathers of daily life. But for a lot of disabled gamers, the Wii and DS were starting to push the boundaries of what they can play. Requiring lifting and positioning of a stylus, and then aiming and swinging of a wiimote basically screws off anyone who has loss a good amount of muscle functionality. No, not all disabled gamers are kicked off the gaming bucket. But there's a bunch of people who are, because where Nintendo can have both controller and unique controls, they most often push the unique, even though a small amount of effort would make playing possible of a larger audience range. My brother has Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, and at this point, all he can do is move his fingers. Buttons are pretty much doable so long as they're easy to get access too--and as long as you can move your fingers. We can set him up and prop him around a controller, and he's pretty much able to play most things like he did growing up on the NES and SNES, N64, whatever. But this demand of higher dexterity is ostracizing gamers who otherwise have no reason to be. Fans of Nintendo are getting shafted. A minority, very much so, but that doesn't make it any more justified.

It's way too early to tell, but I don't like this new area being walked into about lifting the system to have in-game movement, turning it to and fro. It's cool and nifty, but on the track record Nintendo has, where it's implemented, it's going to be mandatory, even though the analog nub or D-pad would suffice for the same feature. What's the problem is not the use of new ways of playing, but making these ways mandatory.

No no, They're selling them here in about a month for 250,000 yen. And seeing as the yen is much stronger than the dollar now, its kind of expensive, so all the more reason to buy a US one.
Yen is nowhere near as strong as the dollar.

I used to make I/O devices for the disabled. This sometimes included modding games controllers. So the fact that they force one control method when the other would work just as well if not better is a pet peave of my own. But while this may be a step backwards for your brother, I have seen other disabled people who motion controls and touch screens have actually made gaming technology accessible to for the first time. So I'd actually like them to include all possible control options in each game, even if you have to have a PC style layout editor for non standard ones.

But, and I hope this doesn't sound horrible, I really hope there are some games that just wouldn't work with normal controls this time.

    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site

    Also somebody is remaking it

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
