Nintendo GameCube Clone Out In Japan

Jon F writes: "I saw this picture on Yahoo! today, it looks like Nintendo decided to license out the GameCube to Panasonic to make a clone. It's a hybrid DVD player/GameCube that came out in Toyko today. The only other article I came across about this was on IGN a few months ago. It has a mirrored surface and trippy purple lights on the controller port." Gaming guts (and purple bits) aside, this is one of the nicest-looking DVD players I've seen. Update: 11/01 23:50 GMT by T : As several readers have pointed out, this looks like just a tease for now, but will be out (in Japan) next month.

    A friend of mine's brother was talking to a muslim man back in August and he gave him this warning: don't fly on Sept 11, be careful of opening strange mail, and don't buy beef liver so you can put hot olive oil on it, roll it up inside a toilet paper tube and satisfy your manly desires with it.

    Does this mean that terrorists may have infected the beef supply with STDs?

    Should we be worried?

    It's a crappy DVD player. You idiot Linux-loving morons know nothing about console games.

    Some hotels I've seen in the United States have televisions/cable boxes with a built in SNES of sorts. The controllers attached to the unit are derived from SNES units, and the units play SNES games.

    Unfortunately for the consumer, these units do not simply take SNES cartridges; instead, they download games over the cable network. To use these, you typically pay per hour of usage. I wanted to play with one of these once; but its hourly rate was prohibitive (even for most parents).

    Nintendo: A story of pur japanese male passion

    Ryu got home working all night. Working for Nintendo was harder than his previous job in Chow Tsu's Burger Bar. All he wanted to do was relax after a steady day's work. "Ching Chang Foo Duong Bugk Dang Doo Yong Foo", Ryu mumbled, while in the elevator. The elevator never worked properly. It didn't close the door on the first try and it always stopped between floors. Kicking the elevator's button console was Ryu's joy. However, after a hard day's work, he was too tired to. Approaching the 13th floor, the elevator's motor gave a screaming whirl. "eeeeerrreeeeeeeecccck Chick Chick", and the elevator's stop followed. "Bonga Bonga Chi Ti doo doo", yelled Ryu. In the elevator next to him was another person who was a temp resident in the same apartment. "Hello sir. Let me try pressing the button to get this elevator moving", said Neal. Neal was a student from the US of A, on a student Visa. Neal was realy nice, and kind. He was 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed a petite 320 pounds, and sported a cute cowboy hat that every japanese man adored. But back to Ryu, ryu replied, "Yow shing soog buck nig foo dung" and then mumbled a couple times afterwards, "debbie dung debbie dung debbie dung mart ek mart ek mart ek" Ryu was frustrated, he knew the elevator was stuck. Ryu also knew that at the rate of consumption of the oxygen in the elevator, both he and Neal had less than 1 hour to live. Ryu wanted to fuck. Neal looked at him and saw the lust in Ryu's eyes. Neal sais to him, " I wanna feel like a mother, dude" Ryu knew what he meant... With a huff and a puff, Neal stripped down his clothes, revealing the rolling fat and his many "Cowboy" and "penguin" tattoos. Ryu also stripped-down. He just worked at Nintendo and was lean and trim. He consumed rice and the vegetarian shit while Neal, on the other hand, enjoyed the grand US of A's productivity in the Agriculture business, obviously the hamburghers, fries, and other lard-coated foods. Neal bent over and Ryu knew what to do. They had 1 hour 'till they would run out of oxygen. Ryu penetraded... "Sweeeeeee dooooggggiee!", yelled Cowboy Neal! Ryu was at peak motion. Cowboy Neal was being ridden like the cowboy he wanted to be. Just then that second, the elevator started moving up again, 3 seconds later, they were at the 13th floor and the doors opened. Jon Katz was there, standing awe stricken, wondering what was to become of all this that Neal and Ryu had done. Jon, starting to snivvle and cry like a little girly man he was, schivveringly said, "Neal, how could you cheat on me? Why did you do it like that for this Nintendo boy? How could you? After all the blowjobs I gave you..." Just that second, a large explosion sounded. An alarmed wailed. 40 people came rushing to the same elevator that Neal and Ryu had been holding up. "A plane crashed into the building. Get out of the you Linux buttfuckers! We're all gunna die man!!"
    BOOOM............ROOOAAAAAARRRR....SHWWWOOOOSH...

    The building collapsed and the lived happily-ever-after.

    The End :)
