Superheros, new consoles, and Konami — this episode of Reset has a lot going on! The second clip is particularly amusing when viewed through the retroscope; predicting PlayStation 3 factoids before launch is always good fun. Anyway, check it out!
Part 1 — I love X-Men Legends. Action-RPGs are some of my favorite games and I’m a comic-book nerd, so the game is perfect for me. Naturally, I was excited to check out X-Men Legends II at an Activision event.
Part 2 — Good friends EGM Mark and 1Up Jane return to talk about the PlayStation 3! It’s great hearing thoughts and predictions made before the systems launch, knowing how it eventually played out. See who was right and who was wrong in this Yahoo! Studios clip.
Part 3 — Kat Hunter gets the skinny on a slew of Konami games at a San Francisco press event. From Castlevania to Karaoke Revolution to Crime Life, there’s something for everyone in this clip.
I still find it funny that no one thought the Wii would be successful.
@Sandrock323 Did you think it would be?
@Ray
Yes, but not as successful as it turned out to be. The way Nintendo played it with the Wii, it was almost a given that it would be cheaper than the PS3 and 360. Back then I figured if someone was going to pick up a second console, it would be the Wii simply because it was going to be cheaper than by a PS3 and 360 together. That was before they had announced motion controls and it was still called the Nintendo Revolution. They didn't announce the controls until a month before the 360 launched so I never stopped to think if it would affect sales. I just assumed it would take a default 2nd place at ~$200.
