Nintendo has been trying to surprise us all with the introduction of its new Wii console U. Again, and is already a tradition, the importance of having command because the console, being much more powerful , it is a great innovation, although it will maintain the size and not miss the best sellers "hardcore". After presenting the big question arises: Is it really revolutionary?

During my career in video games that I have had to deal with a few marketing managers, product managers and other people defending bad life totally different positions as to promote their games.
Some think that good games sell themselves and prefer to promote the "less good" (because for them there bad game) and others, to be really good to push it all to market forces and the "mediocrity" according quality.
Those who think that video games sell themselves good not lift a finger to promote consecrated sagas. They know they have already assured his audience that the new product features will work on the creation of expectations. They will not fight for the product magazine cover or have a special, not necessary, users are already familiar with the game and will flock to buy and journalists interested in it and doing nothing. To these they propose any action, look at you as if you were not worthy of the game and you try to "sneak" the mediocrity of the day. They believe that marketing is worth, the one that really has merit, is selling trash, garbage which a super-duper top of the sales. As they see that a game has reviews of 9 or more believe that they are virtually all the "fish" sold, is a breeze and invest their time in making it more difficult to sell.
Then there are those who think that good games should be given a marketing worthy of them. Not enough that the game is amazing, you have to communicate, market and scream out as loud its benefits. They turn in his great game, do not rest on our laurels. Do not try to exalt reason over other video game not worth the grief. The fact that a series sold well so far does not ensure that the next installment will do the same again.
What is the good way to focus the portfolio of video games? From the user point of view is clear, you have to push it really worth it and the rest is fraud, but from the point of view that needs to get to sales target, the thing is not so clear ...
I my opinion I have of course, but this time I will tell you in the comments if the article generates some

Dear friends SEGA : We are in luck! And is that Sega has announced the launch of the next adventure of our beloved blue hedgehog, and yes, is the return that many were waiting for many years, the new "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" .
16 years (which are few) have passed since the last Sonic the Hedgehog (version lifelong platforms), namely Sonic the Hedgehog 3 , released by Sega in 1994 for Mega Drive and sold over 4 million copies, at that time was a success (shame that Sega plummet years later ...).
The return of the new Sonic The Hedgehog 4 is scheduled for summer 2010 download in various systems (Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Wii Ware). We do not know its price, but we imagine will be between about 15 to 18 euros.
As for the game, but only have a video, we know Sonic The Hedgehog, we know what we're going to find. For those who do not know them, it is a platform on which stand the speed, jumps and scenarios.
Come graphically improved over older versions (obviously), but still do not know if we expect some surprises. This summer we'll find out.

A few weeks ago I was interviewed for Radio Vitoria and was a good time chatting with Iñaki Larrañaga about various aspects of gaming as an expert in video games by the grace of Google . The result is a good story done with an open mind and without prejudices towards video games.
To see what you think. You can listen to here t.

... Mostly because mine are mental straws, nothing else ... hehe. Well, since you've gone through and manipulative tabloid headline tell you: I will not do the typical review-roll. As always there are other sites that they will do better than me, as Vandal , but I would like to discuss two issues that I think are of vital importance about Modern Warfare 2, the new major release in the history of entertainment: the way campaign loses again much bellows versus multiplayer and the issue of violence in the game.
How handsome am with my new glasses!
I do not know you, but I after receiving a game of this caliber, the first thing I do is get to play alone and enjoy the campaign mode. All right (action, spectacle, good script, sound, ambience ...) unless you just as soon as a popcorn movie in Hollywood and in the end one wonders whether it has become the single player mode just that, a flashy movie playable . One gets the feeling that Infinity Ward has focused once more on the multiplayer mode, improving the campaign mode, but I tend clear that the important thing is the other.
It is increasingly clear that the importance of video games is going to online gambling, a mode in which you can switch off Microsoft if it detects that you're hacking the console, and Sony is ready to collect soon. When you lose money on each console sold and not sold enough games to return on large investments, it seems that online and multiplayer mode is the new holy grail. But is it fair to pay around 60 euros for a campaign mode that lasts a few hours and play the rest, the multiplayer mode, you have to checkout? Did not pay enough?
The single player experience is enlarged slightly with so-called special operations, which are quite entertaining mini-missions, but many are only available for multiplayer.
The truth is that the multiplayer mode is most entertaining, full of great scenes, constantly improving thanks to your achievements, aids in the game thanks to the number of victims you produce ... until you reach 25 and can activate the nuclear bomb that erases map all and makes you win the game. Someday I will get the bomb! I swear!
Then there is the airport scene in which we are part of the bad and provoke a slaughter at an airport. In my opinion, this scene may be necessary for the normal course of history, but it was not necessary is to play. As a player and gives us nothing and contribute nothing in the scene, because although not perform a single shot, the rest of the group made the slaughter of itself and we will just go with them. No choice, no moral dilemma.
In my humble opinion, could have briefly shown killing with some kinematic and let us begin the mission after the incident. The rationale was that the developer wanted to identify ourselves with evil Makarov group, but as I have explained, this effect is not achieved. I guess the scene is there really to argue, as a cry of Infinity Ward's creative freedom, but I thought it was a great idea, because the game did not need this controversy to be a bestseller and children that surely will not miss this game should not "enjoy" these scenes.
I say goodbye and wishing to be launched, but a new edition of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, the third party. The two were fucking great.

Iwata dixit:
If we can not make it clear to consumers why they should pay much more money in software and hardware from Nintendo and differentiate our products from the iPhone's software, a dark future awaits us.
Must see, this looks like a roller coaster. Today is one up, tomorrow down ... can not trust a ...
Nintendo sure you save some ace in the hole

I receive a package surprised unexpected and very, very big. I quickly realize I've been blessed with a DJ Hero and thank the heavens in general and particularly Activision. It cost me a lot to discover better, more complete and more fun than Guitar Hero. So what causes it is not succeeding as did his predecessor of the guitar?
The answer is very simple, it is an inescapable problem, background, and responded with two questions: Who has not dreamed of being a guitarist of his favorite band? Who has ever dreamed of being a DJ? In any case I dreamed that pricked a song that I felt like I was when I wanted to, but not get at the controls.
His catalog of songs, very extensive, with 100 songs, is fine (Daft Punk, 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Fedde Le Grand and Eminem), but neither can compete with the catalog of Guitar Hero, much more mass audience .
This kind of love when you play games. It has great graphics, the display does not, it is not easy to market it if it is not putting it in the hands of the players. Once in the hands you see that only 3 colored buttons instead of five and the first impression is that it will be easier, but no, turns out to have many more options. The combination of the three buttons plus the dish that turns yet another side switch is operated with the left hand button to unleash yet another euphoria are many more combinations to use later in the game.
Necessary-at least for me has been, do the tutorial and suffer a little when the thing is complicated. In any case it is a game with many possibilities, which generates very entertaining disco music. One of the best features is also playing both the guitar, a highly recommended experience.
I have no knowledge sufficient to say that is a realistic video game that emulates a DJ it really does, but I imagine it will not be far from reality. Like they do not so difficult some "scratches" like me ... The difficulty with the high price of the game, which is justified by the large peripheral may also have contributed to who has not started off right.
To summarize, it is an innovative game, different, with many more possibilities than Guitar Hero, which is hampered by some problems that you can not blame the developer or the dealer as I have explained. We have drums, bass, guitars, microphones ... our own DJ kit was a natural evolution, but will not attract as many fans as the excitement of playing Metallica or Nirvana on a guitar.

This Friday I was in the presentation of Ubisoft, the Hard Days, Madrid. I had the chance to see Assassin's Creed 2, a game that I lost insurance, the new Splinter Cell, Red Steel 2 and some others, but certainly the most impressive was watching Avatar on a television compatible 3D and enjoy the 3D in all its fullness.
After get the "Ray-ban" started to hallucinate, first with a ship approaches the planet Pandora and then clean shot against the beasts of a planet that does not really know if it is a real danger or Eden.
Avatar is the film that will break new ground in mid-December and the game promises to be no typical conversion "Guarrera" from the movie, but find it hard because all video game publishers have tried to sell crap games taking advantage of the marketing of movies and now fight it is complicated. Without going any further it just happened with Terminator Salvation and Ubisoft is not blameless in this regard: not go back too ... I remember Beowulf
Avatar The game will come a bit before the movie, on October 2, and can be played as a game "normal". So to be promoted, but its graphic engine, which the guys from Ubisoft has been in development 3 years (which was used by the last Far Cry), will switch to 3D mode at any time to enjoy it even need to renew our television and buy a 3D Ready.
It is unfortunate that the 3D effect, majestic, can not be seen in screenshots or videos, so if you have occasion to see him somewhere, do not hesitate to try it. Is the next revolution in video games.
Otherwise little more I can tell you not to know. "Assassins" rather than correct, a "must have" with juicy news as the economy system, Splinter Cell is tumbling even surprised us with some new features like tagging enemies and little more than comment on Red Steel 2, which have good cell-shading graphics and take full advantage of the Wii Motion Plus.

Ojito, who did not tell me who I am suspected of being "nintendero" behind my furious attacks Nintendo for abandoning their "hardcore" of life , says the magazine "BusinessWeek" , with which I agree that, nevertheless, have innovated, have triumphed and have been street war of the consoles in this generation consoles competing with much more advanced.
Nintendo would be the number one company for BusinessWeek because it has registered an annual increase in sales of 36% over the past five years and increased its value by 38%.
Despite the economic crisis, the Japanese company has continued to invest in innovation, which has led him to launch flagship products like the Nintendo DS and Wii hit, which have exceeded market rivals Sony (Playstation) and Microsoft (Xbox .)
Inditex, Mapfre, my dear Telefónica are the only Spanish companies that have crept into the top 40.

I fear that with the Wii Motion Plus is going as well as with the controls of the Wii at first: it was impossible to find loose and only if units were acquired in a pack with a game.
When the controls of the Wii were exhausted, there was always some control with the infamous Wii Play waiting for ... These were not exhausted never resist ... After a few weeks, after several visits to the store, at the end had just bought the remote next to the game, which raised EUR 6 purchase.
Is the same thing happening now with Wii Motion Plus? I am told that the store have been months without a gizmo that improves the detection of movement of the Wii and when they arrived, has been sparingly. Right now you can only get along with Wii Sports Resort and Grand Slam Tennis, because in a game pack included with no problem.
Is it something I'm going through my own or not you are capable of finding loose Wii Motion Plus?

Sony has hit the table with the presentation of the PS3 Slim console running and consumes a third less than today. Fortunately Sony has made good rumors and will launch the new console to 299 euros on 1 September, which means that remaining in stock could drop to 250 euros. All good news, except that no longer can install Linux on the console, which will not be a big problem for most users.
It's not super sexy, but better than nothing
It seems that until Microsoft Project Natal is going to play a little pain. I promised to buy a new PS3 down in price and I will fulfill. I'll get a PS3 Slim. In total I've donated 500 euro sony PS3 plus the previous 300 that I spent far more than I spend on the PSP Go, which I think also I will buy even without touch screen ... The philosophy seems to me that is good.
So far I had been quite "Xboxer" but must admit that Sony is doing their homework.

After watching the last two patents from Nintendo and Sony have come to light they want me to seek patent illustrators group on Facebook and become a fan.
The illustration of Nintendo's patent is unique. Best of all is the boy's pajamas, that reminds me of the underwear of western movies. Do you remember swimming tough guys dressed in pajamas that?
The patent itself is not saved from burning. It is a balloon or inflatable cushion in the boat and pretend that we go on horseback or other small animal that comes to mind. Uff!
At full gallop ... Gee!
The illustration on the Sony patent has no waste. Eye to television, where a figure is kicked his ass himself and that makes him more grace the user that the prank call from " Antonio mea culpa . " This patent is to illustrate that Sony will try to guess your mood and emotions through the detection of sound and images of our smileys. Does this have anything to do with the Wii Vitality Sensor ?
Fesival of humor, revelry father ...

The aversion to video games makes strange bedfellows. A few days ago Obama urged Americans to leave the Xbox on its side and appealed to the responsibility of parents to prevent abuses of video games, now the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, does the same, but their style, that they both dislike.
According to Chavez, children should change the Nintendo by yo-yo. On a visit to one of the poorest and most violent neighborhoods of Caracas, the President found the cause of all evil in Nintendo games because they strengthen "the individualism, selfishness and violence."
"No connection to the friends in the neighborhood or with the family. Children often get sick, catch the machine, "said a Chávez who does not like the movies or the Internet, because they put" a lot of poison in the minds of young people. "
"That's bad, bad, bad," he said.
I will not waste time in rebuttal. I'll just say this:
