When Nintendo announced the partnership with DeNA and the sampling of the mobile gaming market with Smartphones, investors started to take note of what Nintendo is doing. Since that announcement, Nintendo’s stock has been on a pretty steady incline, but leveled off towards the end of March. Since the start of April however, the surge has continued, and Nintendo is seeing it’s best market positioning in 4 years.

Nintendo’s market cap (total dollar market value of the shares outstanding of a publicly traded company) is currently at 24 billion US Dollars (2.95 trillion Yen), which is almost double what it was in January. Obviously Nintendo is seeing some resurgence in the market aspect of the business, which hopefully and should translate well to Nintendo platform owners.

A few weeks ago I went on a photoshoot in the snow. It was kind of a blizzard outside. Here's a portrait of myself. 

 

Rules:

 

1. Choose one forum user per post to say hello.
2. Perform a google search of their user name, click images and use the very first image in the results for your post. (if not forum appropriate use the next one that is)
3. Make sure the image is forum appropriate before posting.
4. Add a link to the users profile so others can check them out and learn more.
5. PM the user and let them know you are just saying hello. Link the thread topic to them.

 

 

I'll start.

"Sony has revealed some big news about its upcoming PlayStation 4 Virtual reality headset, known as Project Morpheus. For one, the VR headset won’t be coming out this year, but when it comes out (2016), its specs will be a lot better.

Both the screen resolution and the refresh rate have improved, in addition to a larger, 5.7-inch screen as well. Here are the full specs of the new Project Morpheus headset:

2.7-inch OLED display
120 hz refresh rate
1920 x 1080 resolution, Sony calls it 1920 x RGB x 1080
100 degree FOV (field of view)
All 1920 x 1080 pixels have RGB sub-pixels, for a better HD image
18ms latency (twice as good as the previous version)
9 tracking LEDs, 3 more than before.
4 demos optimized for the new prototype
Resolution wise, Project Morpheus is close to its main rivals, Oculus Rift and the recently revealed HTC Vive. However, Sony’s headset has an advantage in that it runs at 120 frames per second, while the other two run at 90 frames per second.

During the presentation, Sony also said that they encourage developers to target 120 frames per second with the new headset, although they have made a tool that can take a 60 fps game and double the framerate. As framerates go up, the quality of the image has to go down, of course.

Sony expects to bring the Project Morpheus VR headset to market in the first half of 2016, about a year from now. There’s still no official name — it’s still codenamed “Project Morpheus”. They’ve promised more to come at E3 in June."

Not sure if its going to flop or be the next big thing but I'm not too excited yet.

Please go to deviantart, furaffinity, or pretty much any place else but here with a drawing request like that.

Post one or two interesting facts about yourself that probably no one here knows about.

 

Aside from performing magic, I have performed fire and glass eating.

I run a fan news site around a basically defunct gaming dev/publisher: novalogic. http://novacommand.com/

Your turn. What don't we know about you?

As a teacher on a high school I made sure there were videogame facilities when they build our new building. Everyday I see students playing and no one knows how these facilities came to be

I actually got this like a month ago but I never posted it so here's my new computer. 

MM3D New 3DS XL is limited edition, yet people think it should be for everyone. I do think they should've dealed with pre-orders as the timezones, and try to talk into the retailers into limited pre-orders a person/ip.

Amiibo's, while little maddening are understandable, but they need to be more confident, their playing it too safe with everything, not just Amiibo's. Though all should get a re-print, not cards. Rotate what amiibos are out like Skylanders, but dont just get rid of them. 

But stuff like Pokemon Shuffle and the wait or pay to play, or only being able to use the Kirby amiibos once a day??? And why does Mario Party 10 need to save?

No normal New 3DS in the NA?? Yes the XL sold great, but the normal 3ds sold too, there is no reason to not to, again, Ninteo playing it too safe. Don't care about the faceplates much, while cool, and should be for both. But the design of the New 3DS is just... odd. 

No charger, yes I know its common in Japan, and it works. But people in N/A don't seem so happy about it, so they should back away from that choice and package it in, sell it for the same price and suck up the little loss. Maybe someday it'll work here, maybe with a mini-usb instead of the connecter their using. 

I mean I was so hyped for 2015, and then after the direct I fell into a low. I'm not going to leave them ofcourse but I'm not all happy hype. I like the fact that P&D Z and the mario version are a 2 in 1 deal, great deal. Though they should've left Pokemon Shuffle in the dust and did a P&D of Pokemon, and have a 3 in 1 maybe, though that might be too much. 

Pretty sure I had more to say, oh well.

 

I upgraded my tablet and also got some chocolate 

A slightly different logo.
We too.... makes a little more Grammatical sense in English as well.

So sorry its a day late. At first I chose a drawing, but I decided to do a coloring page instead, have fun coloring!

 

I had every intention of making you a magic themed youtube video...then i got sick. And because I procrastinate I had to scramble to come u with a new idea, so here is your place holder gift of a collage of NPH's face with an IOU on the youtube video attached
