New Media Animation
New Media Animation, the Taiwanese-based news crew that presents headlines via somewhat crudely assembled, yet still very much impressive due to their timeliness (as well as charming) CGI vignettes, has filed another video game-centered report.
It's latest recounts Nintendo's somewhat fall from grace, and the company's hopes that the Wii U will turn things around (when, as reported yesterday, it officially hits stores this holiday season). NMA rarely disappoints, and its latest is another home run:
Not to state the obvious, but among the reasons why NMA's retelling of the news is so compelling is its use of symbolism ? like Mario so desperate to get the attention of someone who is so entranced by "Angry Birds," that he's?willing to wear an?"Angry Birds" hat, only to be?crushed by the weight of a giant Game Boy. The exact meaning of this is open for interpretation.
Meanwhile, there's little analysis necessary when watching the head of Nintendo being bludgeoned by representatives from Sony and Microsoft, using a giant Dual Shock and giant Kinect respectively.
My favorite part? The look on the boy's face when his GameCube is punted like a football. Somewhere up there, Walt Disney has to be impressed, even just a tiny bit.
Okay, maybe not.
