So if Nintendo's intention is to recapture the hardcore, the Wii branding is pretty much out the window?

Their strategy has been to convert their new casual audience into core gamers for a few years now. Hook em on Wii Sports and Brain Training, wean em on NSMBWii and Mario Kart, and then sell 4 million+ copies of Donkey Kongmichaeltraps said:So if Nintendo's intention is to recapture the hardcore, the Wii branding is pretty much out the window?
ShockingAlberto said:The 3DS had a bit more RAM than people expected, though likely not as much as people wanted. So there's hope, albeit small glimmers.
The 360 Epic story, AFAIK, is true. I hadn't heard the part of the tech demo, though.

Mind blown.

You do realize their idea of getting hardcore back is just another mario/zelda/smash bros right? I don't mean to shit on the parade here, but let's at least try to stay realistic.

That is, until their competitors release superior consoles.

shadyspace said:My biggest hope is a totally differently designed box aesthetically. I really don't want just a Wii look alike that plays different games. I hate how the 3DS and the NGP look more or less exactly like their predecessors. I want radically divergent hardware design. I want N64 to Gamecube.
antonz said:If they stick with IBM its probably a safe bet the Wii 2 will have a Cell processor inside of it. IBM teased as far back as the Wii launch they were beginning talks with Nintendo and Microsoft over the idea of using it.

Darklord said:Well the Wii is much more powerful than an Xbox but it still looks pretty shitty for most games. And if it's next gen then damn right it should be more powerful.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Oh ok, sorry, sorry, I didn't see this. Yeah, it's fake. You have the fastest selling console ever which was aimed at a untapped market with huge success and you move away towards an audience 10% of the size? If that's true the Nintendo are confirming the casual console market that they wanted is dead and not worth pushing for. When has Nitendo ever bee hardcore though? Never.
