In the run-up to the launch of the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii, there's going to be lots of rumors out there. At ElectricSistaHood, we're in as much of a fog as you are, so you can just take or leave these latest bits of information coming at us from all directions. It's all talk, and it's mostly crazy.
- There's controller confusion for the Wii version of Fire Emblem. It can't use the Wii-mote, but it can use the Classic controller? That's just crazy!
- Circuit City didn't get the memo. In this ad on their website, they give Nintendo's new console a very different name. Perhaps it's a crazy tie-in with Life Savers candy.
- Proof of the ever-expanding Xbox 360. Here's a screenshot that lists the greatly expanded capacity of a machine at an Xbox Live event. Is it a sign of crazy things to come?
- How to push all the fanboys' buttons. This photo spread from FHM explains graphically why we can't get Morgan Webb interested in talking to ElectricSistaHood. She's crazy busy at the gym.
- What do you call Guitar Hero without a wireless guitar controller? Smashed Xbox. There appears to be a problem with producing a wireless guitar controller for the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero. Playing without one is just crazy.
- It takes ONE to play Zelda. After all those rumors of a multi-player Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, one blogger has found proof on a Japanese website that the game will allow only single-player mode. That's crazy sad.
- Thus Spake Mr. Chuck E. Cheese. Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant franchise, doesn't have kind words to say about Sony, according to an interview in Red Herring magazine: "With the PS and PS2 it was timing. They had the right pricing at the right time [and were] almost the accidental winner. It would not surprise me if a year from now they’ll be struggling to sell 1 million units. [Factoring in the PS3’s price], I think in the U.S. the number of early adopters you have is actually around 300,000." Crazy, man!
