It’s the same law that dictates homophobic people are secretly gay – the more you hate on something, the more you probably want to try it out in a dingy public bathroom stall. More or less.
So as Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski says, those people dissing the Nintendo Wii U are going to buy it regardless.
“From what I’ve seen, it looks pretty cool,” the man who invented the chainsaw gun tells IndustryGamers. “It seems like you can stream your game from your television directly to your [tablet] controller, so if you have irritable bowel syndrome, or a small bladder, you can still play it in the toilet. That’s great. But, you know, from what people are saying online, they’re like, ‘Oh, it’s just a DreamCast, whatever.’ But it’s like, ‘Dude, what’s old is new sometimes.’
“The Power Glove [back on NES] led to the Wii, right? The Virtual Boy led to the 3DS, right? A lot of these older technologies that you forget about are [the technological predecessors]. The Kinect is a sophisticated webcam, right? So I’m just dying to see it. It’s Nintendo. I’ll buy it. I know I’ll buy it. They’ll talk sh*t but they’ll buy it,” he adds.
The Wii U is expected to launch sometime next year.
