...and that's why Nintendo not doing a traditional press conference isn't that big of a deal.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Hmm, didn't see it in the direct feed. Looking forward to seeing what he's got to show though.

What did you think the blurred screen was in front of him at the end?

He seems to have been tasked with making stuff that pushes the Gamepad. Those projects are apparently on the show floor, so sites have info and impressions, despite the games not being in the full presentation.

$20. Surprised. A bit nervous too - i'd feel better at $40, might be really chincy plastic and connector cable. If it's quality and $20, that's a home run.

Nintendo's build quality has never been an issue for me. I think that they are either pricing it at just the break even point or they're willing to take a small loss to broaden their software's appeal.

Exciting thought: I still have the Hori Gamecube fight stick that Noise sold me years ago...
