Can't say I'm too outside of the "Meh- shrug" camp on this one. The Wii has yet to produce more than four games I'd want to play enough to possibly buy and it has nothing to do with the power of the system itself, just the game selection and quality. A new system will not be redeeming Nintendo to me, nor prying any of my gamer bucks from my purse.
However, it was amusing to note that as of this moment this thread has as much interest, being measured in responses -78 comments apiece- as the umpteenth "My LittlePony" thread this month. Boggling...

I regret reselling my Twillight Princess for GCN... it was a great game. EDIT: and better than its wii port.Crimson_Dragoon said:
I can imagine that Nintendo is going to have a powerful console. After all, the Wii, DS (and its upgrades) and the 1st party releases have sold incredibly well so i'm assuming that Nintendo has more money then god.
It shouldn't be too hard for them to put together something more powerful than consoles that were put together 5+ years ago.
They're going to be in the same sort of position they were with the 64, kind of a half step generation (for young readers the N64 came out between the 32bit PS & Sega Saturn, before the 128 bit Dreamcast & PS2).

There was a rumor a LONG time ago that Microsoft was working with Blizzard on their next-gen console. (Successor to 360) But as for the nintendo announcement, good! I might get one. I saw no reason as of yet to buy a 3DS so maybe I'll have reasons to get Wii2 or "Project Cafe" as they claim.Mr.Mattress said:

With any luck anyway...
EDIT: Or actually, maybe they will get round to making a PROPER final fantasy: crystal chronicles sequel. Or a remake. Hell, i'll settle for a proper hd version.
Congratulations Nintendo, if you released it 12-18 months ago you'd probably still be dominating the market.
This console could do Nintendo the world of good, but they better hope they have some better titles on release compared to the 3DS.
What continually boggles me with Nintendo is that not only have they essentially segregated themselves from cross platform titles, getting only exclusive releases, they neglect to release hit Japanese titles in English. Where is Last Story Nintendo?
Work on getting quality third party releases and catering for the ones you do internationally, or consider yourself dead in the west.
I will never buy a platform for hardware over software.

The thing with Nintendo is that they have always waited until the technology becomes cheaper and more efficient before they start using it. It prevents things like faulty hardware and poor battery life. They've made up for this by offering lower prices and carving themselves a unique niche in the market, so they have less direct competition (while everyone else is real is brown HD FPSs, Nintendo has more exclusive games aimed at a different demographic).
That being said, I'm intrigues as to what this console will look like. Are they gonna follow their usual formula or just do it the same way as everyone else? I'm hoping for the former.

MS would have to work their collective balls off to get back into the PC market beyond Windows and Office.... or buy Valve. That could also work.
How much do you want to bet that by TGS this year Sony and MS will officially announce that they are also working on their next consoles? Of course, they won't be out until at earliest 2013 but a logo and a proposed spec sheet can go a long way to completely taking the wind out of a competitors launch. Just ask the Dreamcast.
Sounds cool, I'll have to see what happens. I just hop e the internet isn't filled with "ducked-tapped together wii" complaints (even though I know it will be).
I laugh at them for even saying that its going to be more powerful then the 360 and PS3. Though in the long run, I really don't care. I am happy with the 3DS as far as I go with Nintendo.
I look forward to this.
I passed on the Wii even though I was brought up on the Nintendo line of consoles... I'd happily get the new Nintendo console if it lives up to its potential. If only to play Zelda, Mario, SSBs and other new entries to the epic games they make.

Not for entirely the right reasons. I imagine many critics expect Nintendo to fail with their next console. A console on its own is not enough.Aiddon said:
