AceCard Jones

Seemed to only mention that you can play a couple of sports on it. No harm people on the media playing it down so that the fights don't get too rough in Smyths on launch week.

Smellyirishman

Yeah, nothing of note at all.

1huge1

well it got more attention than any other games company easy enough
but pat kenny kinda left people with the opinion that the only games out for it were like wii sports ones
like its as if he didnt know it was actually a games consoles and had games like cod3 (and i bet a lot of people who watched it were left with the same impression)

1huge1

oh and he said €270 but i rang Game yesterday and was quoted €250

evad_lhorg

There was four at the RDS a while back, so even if you take that as 'officially' five... bs.

“The likes of” - you don’t sound too sure there!

I just had to be in the kitchen for the bit of Wii... shoite.

AceCard Jones

^^You didn't miss much anyway.:D

Would have loved it if they said there was one for everyone in the audience...
Anyway I know I have seen it before but did everyone else notice again.....IT'S TINY!!!!!:)

And that robot didn't solve the cube damn it!!!!

it's pat kenny... he most likely didn't know what the hell was going on.

Pat screwed the thing up a bit though by waving the wiimote practically right up against the screen.

You would've thought that someone would've told him to step back a bit when playing to give the sensor bar a chance to pick up the movement.

Plonker!

Well, since the show is aimed at toys for kids I doubt it would have been recieved well by parents if they demo'd a WWII shooter. Although I know what you mean, wouldn't have done any harm if one or two other games were mentioned. Personally surprised they didn't mention Zelda with all the ads for it on TV atm.

edit : Just remembered they used to pimp Tomb Raider quite alot so not sure if that contridicts my previous statement heh.

It depresses me that Pat Kenny got to play a Wii before I did.

god's toy

It depresses me that Pat Kenny is still on TV...

johnny_ultimate

Disgraceful showing. I watched through tacky, glittery young girls dancing to hip hop (the most cringe worthy sight Ive ever seen on TV) for THAT?

paudie

They were AWFUL, They lloked like they had a litre of fake tan each and about 42 kgs of glitter between them.

It depresses me that they have no future beside being skangers.

That said I enjoyed the Wii part (despite the shortness of it) made me really look forward to jumping around my sitting room like a lunatic

zAbbo

It was amazing

Anyone want to see it again ?

Your powers are weak old man.

Did anyone also notice his poor explanation of the DS Lite. It was something along the lines of:

"And here we have the Nintendo Ds Lite. We're all familiar with the Nintendo Lite...but this...this is the new DS Lite."

Fringe

That was so disappointing. When I saw it, I was excited hoping to see some really good gaming. All he did was wave the Wiimote around and talk about Wii Sports. Made it sound like those really bad consoles you buy and plug into your TV.

Thats what I thought too but lets look at the bright side. If Pat Kenny can play it when he can't even speak properly, anyone can play it.
