    Miyamoto talks about the perception that he's against story in games here, which he feels has been "misconstrued"
    When you're playing a game, the story is there to give the big world you're in some substance and meat. And because you're the protagonist in the game, that's what you should be doing. I think, also, when a story is set too strictly already, you can only follow a certain path. There's also times where it takes so much time to set up the story, that you just want to get into the gameplay but you can't because there's so much set-up.

    When he says story is "unnecessary," he means, literally, it is not required for a game to have a story to succeed, or even to succeed at storytelling

    I only ever played OB64 once, when I was like 7.

    I assume the game is not quite as malevolently obtuse as I remember it, but the thing might as well have still been in Japanese for all tiny me could make sense of it.

    yeah, I had to come back to it in college to really appreciate it

    course as a kid the very notion that my units were autobattling (absurd! what gives them the right) was distressing to me

    As an adult this notion still distresses me.

    I don't care about headphones but

    This is the first time I've thought about the speakers on this thing

    Vita speakers sounded pretty good, and 3DS sound was mostly acceptable? I'm sure they've got it right now

    3DS's speakers were a little weak, imo. The quality was fine but if my furnace/AC kicks on I have trouble hearing the music and effects clearly.

    It didn't even have best volume for headphones

    but the quality of sound was good

    Yeah 80% of the 3DS volume slider might as well be mute.

    They better have put good speakers in the thing if they actually want playing things like 1-2 switch in a social atmosphere in kickstand mode to work

    Yeah ideally they worked with HTC on the audio. My M8's speakers are hands-down the best cellphone speakers I've ever used.

    Most people use capacitive screens with their fingers so better to fold that $0.10 into the profit margin

    Some people just prefer it that way but it is also useful for more precise tasks like drawing or taking notes by hand

    I didn't even use a stylus with the 3DS for the last couple years

    Just jab my stupid fingers at it

    I really don't like getting my greasy fingers on nice displays if I can avoid it. Tapping is okay but dragging/swiping really makes me cringe.

    He reads NeoGAF religiously and appears to make enough via Amazon referrals and whatnot that this is all he does, or his job facilitates it

    I mean I have fingers the size of small trucks and prefer a stylus for precise taps

    The buttons on the screen in that video look pretty reasonably sized though

    it seems like using the touch screen is 100% optional on those menus

    Mario Maker was useful to have a stylus when you needed to precisely place objects quickly.

    Yeah, stylus is just my preferred method of interacting with menus and such. It's nice that they're giving people the option between touch and button though.

    My boss texted me today asking me if I wanted to work the midnight release for this thing

    I said yes, almost a little too enthusiastically

    I've never worked a console launch before, I'm kind of excited!

    The conversation has moved a bit but the speakers on the New 3DS are a night and day difference from the original 3DS.

    because they're not including a stylus there isn't a stylus holder on it so it's significantly more inconvenient to quickly take out and put away a stylus even if they're cheap and easy to get

    Especially because they had the Appleian gall to try and spin it as a "customer friendly" decision. "Oh people have too many chargers lying around because of how often we do SKU refreshes so we're sparing them the clutter of having another one!"

    I guess they might have been thinking that if you were upgrading, you probably had an ac adapter already, but like, what if you want to trade your old one in, and also who gives a shit put an ac adapter in there holy fuck
