Maybe, but if Nintendo has a system that can finally play the games all it's competitors has and games even better BEYOND that, they can do amazing things and get fantastic 3rd party support!BroHuffman said:Can they support both? If 3rd party doesn't jump on board?

Yes it has! E3 will be fun this year.shinobi602 said:
kittoo said:That will take some powerful hardware. My PC has a GTX 470, 6GB RAM and Core i7 920 and C2 runs at about 60FPS in 1080p, so that spec can be ballpark. No way nintendo has that, the price will go way above acceptance.
Skiesofwonder said:Funny how if one person beaks the NDA then the floodgates are open wide for everyone to talk. Nintendo doesn't like talk, they like to break the news. Expect a PR annoucment similar to the 3DS sometime in the next seven days.
you keep selling wii games for a bit. get the core on-board with the new system.farnham said:dissapointing
nintendo going back into the hardcore graphical powerhouse war ?
way to abandon the casual crowd
as a fan of wii sports and wii fit this is infuriating news. hopefully its all false
they will get lazy ports and 2 years in they wont even get thatThoraxes said:Maybe, but if Nintendo has a system that can finally play the games all it's competitors has and games even better BEYOND that, they can do amazing things and get fantastic 3rd party support!
Also, holy cow, this will be the first time that Nintendo systems will probably get good/equivalent cross-platform games again in a very long time.
Darklord said:But who will buy it? Yay nintendo wii 2 now as Mortal Kombat, Portal 2, Crysis 2, Modern Warfare 3...except everyone has at least one of 2-3 consoles that play all those...with better online support.

So, you don't think merely being a NINTENDO system with Wii BC (in HD!) at this point won't carry over their "casual" audience?

I hope so but seeing that its Nintendo it will probably be some proprietary Blu-Ray drive that doesn't play Blu-Ray movies.evolution said:Do you think nintendo will use DVD's or move up to Blu-rays?
FINALFANTASYDOG said:They did that because 3ds had a really unique feature and all they did was annouce that feature. Unless there is some gimmick here, I expect a bit of a wait till Nintendo's annoucment

ahahah, amazing...Instro said:Oh god, hype through the roof. Obligatory:
Guerrillas in the Mist said:I want RAM bursting out of the console this time, none of this 512Mb shared nonsense.
I remember reading somewhere that the 360 was originally going to have 256Mb of RAM, but Epic Games convinced them otherwise by showing MS a tech demo of the then in development Unreal Engine 3 with and without the extra RAM.

One thing I hope though is true, is about the earlier (probably fake) rumor that it is component-upgradeable. Screw the 10-year-cycle. If they can design a system that is pseudo-scalable every couple of years with better internals, then we can choose to enjoy improved features of newly-designed games without huge hits to framerate and resolution.
Give consumers more options!

Think about how much worse it would be with smileys and animated avatars, it'd already be down by nowAniHawk said:gotta love the changes being made behind the scenes to make gaf run awesome having little effect on OMG NINTENDO ANNOUNCEMENT and npd day.
