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 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
it seems like using the touch screen is 100% optional on those menus
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.
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
You can get a capacitive stylus for like five bucks at the corner drugstore
Then they could afford to have put one in the package
They could also put a charger in the box with New 3DSes but they don't
Yeah and that was a big deal that many people were very unhappy about.
That was the most bull shit thing ever.
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

Miyamoto talks about the perception that he's against story in games here, which he feels has been "misconstrued"

As an adult this notion still distresses me.
gosh does this thing look comfy to use, though
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.
but the quality of sound was good

Yeah ideally they worked with HTC on the audio. My M8's speakers are hands-down the best cellphone speakers I've ever used.
Then they could afford to have put one in the package
Some people just prefer it that way but it is also useful for more precise tasks like drawing or taking notes by hand
Just jab my stupid fingers at it
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
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.
Wario64 is just Gaf.

I said yes, almost a little too enthusiastically
I've never worked a console launch before, I'm kind of excited!
