It’s time to travel back to see stuff that actually happened a couple of days ago. Woo? The hardware developers have been rather craptacular, so let’s see what a couple of purely software devs have going on.

The goddamn playback doesn’t actually start at the beginning of it! So, starting from about 10 minutes in… -Nintendo’s new strategy – I shit you not – ‘deeper and wider’.
