SNES original designs

For those of you that don't know, I collect Nintendo Power magazines. The issue for this month just came out and it showed some old designs for the SNES. I can't find anything on why these were rejected but I think it might be because they weren't top loaders. The only information the picture gives me is that they were designed by somebody named Lance and they wanted to make it easy to use.

Wii U

Nintendo just finished their E3 presentation and they showed the controller to the Wii's successor Wii U. Wii U will be released sometime next year. It will have motion capabilities just like the Wii but unlike the Wii if someone wants to watch tv and you want to play a game you can now do both. You can transfer the game to the controller. It can also be used as a video phone. It's been made to use HD unlike any other Nintendo console. And just like Nintendo DS the controller has a touch screen.

Room Tidying Pickup Robot

Years ago it was believed by the year 2000 we would have robots doing everything for us. I just found a robot that doesn't do everything but at least it cleans your room. This WALL-E lookalike robot moves around on wheels and picks up stuff with its hands and puts it onto a cargo bed and then it puts it where you tell it to put stuff. SO if you're smart enough you could tell it to put it right back where it was and keep your room a mess and not get blamed for it because technically you didn't mess up the room, the robot did. Or if you don't want the robot to automatically detect stuff it comes with a remote control so you can do everything yourself. It runs on six AA batteries and three AAA batteries.
