New Nintendo Console "Confirmed" for E3

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Super Wii Entertainment System. Looking forward to another 30 iterations of Mario.

Somewhat surprised they didn't build better graphics in to the Wii, could have saved themselves some trouble.

Give us a proper controller and make all the motion ones optional.

As long as Metroid, Zelda, Mario and all of the other great games continue to come out I'll be happy with just those.

i hate nintendo after the disnmal Wii. fuck them for hyping it, making me buy the piece of crap to see what everyone was going on about, turning out shit, then releasing another. I BET IT WILL TURN OUT LIKE THE DS SERIES AND NINTENDO WILL RELEASE A NEW MODEL EVERY YEAR!!! I CALLED IT, YOU HEARD IT FIRST FROM ME!

Besides more excersise games and dance revolution, motion control for commercial use seems to be sort of a diversion from what gamers are looking for, fully immersive titles with better storylines.

Mario wouldn't be so bad if I could send a few gombas to take over the Ice Village...

 

[Phenakist]

I'm gonna hold off until E3....

Unless this thing has stuff like 6 core processing and more RAM than all the goats in Scotland, and is genuinely a step ahead than the PS3 and 360 on ALL fronts,including online... not going near it.

I honestly don't see myself buying it. Well, certainly not when it comes out.

I wonder if Sony or Microsoft step up their game in order to keep up with Nintendo...

Are you honestly trying to say they need to "step up"? From what they're doing now?

Fair point, but if Nintendo claim that the tech in this new thing is significantly better than the PS3 and the 360, then Microsoft or Sony ain't gonna' hang about.

This is actually very exciting news, Nintendo rehit it's stride with the Wii, now with a commitment to core gaming and 3rd parties as well as market pioneering, we could see a return to the NES/SNES glory days.

Or lots of shovel ware. Either way, it'll make lots and lots of money.

Considering Nintendo is far and away the leader in market share with the Wii, having more sales then the 360 and PS3 combined at a fraction of the production price... they already had to step up their game. They've been playing catchup since forever.

Because as we all know, as soon as the N64 could outperform the Playstation, the Ps1 didn't sell a single other unit.

This thing is gonna be balls expensive and probably not offer any signifigant visual upgrades (even with 5 year old hardware, the Ps3 is still pushing visual boundaries across everything), so the idea that somehow this will mean Sony or Microsoft "have" to bring out new consoles is pretty murky at best. The Atari 5200 was more powerful than anything else, but that didn't help it.

Touché.

Well I guess we shall have to wait and see.

"[It's] not a gimmick like the Wii."

How the fuck was the Wii a gimmick?

Also I am interested but at the same time put off, if it is a super powerful system that means games will be expensive to make and devs will have less room for creativity as they could sell at a loss much easier...

It doesn't have to be a super powerful machine, HD graphics cards are damn cheap now, even duelcores and ram. A system with more power than a 360 would be able to be made for a competitive price, Nintendo knows lower price is what made them successful, and they wont ruin it now.

For their sakes it better support DVD AND Blu-Ray. No one wants another new gen console that cant even play DVD's off the bat. Personally Im already leaning towards PS3's, Nintendo's failing for me bigtime these past few years hardware wise.

Speaking of Gimmicks.
If you have a ps3 or Xbox along with this it wouldn't need a dvd player and from a purely game only company I would hope they wouldn't a dvd player cost 20-30 bucks to just buy one apart and they have a tendency to break in consoles.........................Wait people still use dvd?

More powerful then the ps3 and xbox 360? Ladies and Gents I think the time may finally have come. THE $1000 CONSOLE IS UPON US! There is no way something that is MORE powerful then a PS3 that also can backwards compatibly play Wii games is going to be cheap. Hell it may even be more expensive then that! And It BETTER at least be able to play DVD's. I mean the PS2 and the Xbox could play DVDs yet when the Wii came around, nope, still no DVD player. FAIL

Also talk about expensive? Neo Geo was almost 1000$ and was most likely with tax.

It'll be called the Puu.....That's my contribution.
