No idea, guess Shawn or Bobak put it in, and yeah, it's annoying as hell.
Epitome of gaming? Epitome of drama and endless waffle, more like.

He said that here in the 3rd post in thread (possibly other places too):

Who knows what that really means though. Most likely its bs.

I remember it being "The Mecca of retro gaming" or some shit like that for a time.
That was so Bobak...

I envision this going the way of the Ouya.
Like others have said, it's all about the games. It needs exclusives. I don't want ports of games I can get on the other 15 systems I have.

The Ouya is actually a respectable little machine for what it is. I don't think this will do even that well.

Yeah, at least the android platform was relevant. I hear they're good for media streaming too. This new console won't be nearly as useful when it tanks.

Wii at 240p should be an excellent machine for homebrew other than emulation. Done deal.

agreed.
I got my money's worth for sure with it.
I still think this would have been a near perfect system had it had a better controller. It keeps having problems with bluetooth on my PS3 controller.
When I say near perfect, I mean near perfect for a rom box.

I use a Logitech wireless controller that has a little USB plug. Works much better with the Ouya than PS3 or PS4 controllers, and no lag in the emulators. The analogs on the thing are almost useless though, but the digital pad is excellent.

Looks like NG dev team is inquiring about developing for this console. I'm cautiously optimistic about it. Looks like they're targeting the indy community for games. Tons of games that I would love to own physical copies of. Axiom Verge, shovel knight, etc.. This will not be an Android based console btw.

I wonder if it will have a start up animation and audio clip before games start, like the Jaguar did.

NGH sounds kinda dumb, I wonder why didn't they called it NGC or NGD as in Deck. AES, well, it's dumb too 'cause it doesn't really says what it is. Neither does MVS but it still is king. CPS1,2 and 3 comes close.

With the advent of digital I think most indie developers heavily rely on the ability to update their titles post launch (and on early adopters to do QA) -- so you'll either be stuck with buggy, outdated games, or waiting a long time for the final, final, final version of the game to hit the cartridge format.
Also, while the relationship between video game magazines and video games publishers has always been incestuous, this seems to take it to a whole new level.

Will be interesting to see what happens with this. Personally I don't feel it will catch on. Madasgardian is right. Why would you develop for this as an indie developer, when you can do it for ps4/Xbox one, I just don't see the incentive. None-the-less I'll watch with interest.

...and out come the fucking vultures. Another excuse for them to charge an exorbitant amount of money for mediocre games.
