Stage
Debut debuted (sorry) at last year's Nintendo booth, as a demo
evolved from N64's "Talent Maker" GBA camera game.
You
sat still, they took your picture, and voila! Your face was
there, attached to the body of a dancing Nintendo character. |
|
|
|
Not
much has changed since last year. Still can't play it - just let the
guy take your picture and watch it go.
And
yet, I find the demo completely fascinating.
Perhaps
this is because I get to see my face plastered onto giant-head,
low-poly models? |
|

|
|
|
|
First,
you make a nice, pretty smile. There is a minute or so of fiddling and
loading.
While
you wait, you see some clips of giant-head Japanese men in schoolyard
settings... and... ducks, and stuff. |
|
|
|
Your
giant-head model appears on stage, Adam/Eve style! You're asked a
bunch of silly questions.
|
|
|
|
Then...
into the womb-machine! What will you be??
|
|
|
|
Cruel
Nintendo gods!! I answer truthfully, and find that I am branded....a
GOLFER!! Maybe it was the face I made?
|
|
|
|
Sure,
it looks like I wet my pants (or worse). But at least I can still
dance!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By the time I leave Stage
Debut's tiny demo station, there are at least 3 people waiting to be
snapped.
|
|
Will we have to wait till
next year to get our hands on this little gem? Pray to the Nintendo
gods and perhaps it will ship!?!
