Is that E3 in it's entirety? I may as well book all of it off if so.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I'm just not buying it.
Not saying the sources are wrong, but Nintendo's MO has never been about console power. Hell, the 3DS barely matches the GameCube, and I've seen several PSP games that look better as well, although that may be due to the higher-res screen.
Also, reclaiming the hardcore market? I just don't see that happening. Nintendo knows that they officially lost their last vestiges of the hardcore with the GameCube, and barely tried to reclaim them with the Wii.
And then, there still lies the issue of third party support. Nintendo needs to realize that there's been a major sea change in the last generation from Eastern to Western developers, and the big guns of the industry: Bioware, Epic Games, Bethesda, Bungie, EA, Ubi, parts of Activision, Rockstar, etc...have been so turned off by the company in recent years due to how Nintendo handles their third-party relationships that they probably wouldn't even develop for it if Nintendo managed to achieve photorealism, just because of the "N" word on the box. There's a MASSIVE stigma there, and I just think Nintendo is forcing a change that's, quite frankly, too little, too late.

Oh God, how long is it going to take them to release an HD Zelda game?
It already takes them 4+ years.

Left behind? Isn't the Wii the most successful console this gen?cjelly said:
The 360 launched a year before the PS3 and it took 6 years to catch up to the 360 worldwide.
So Ono probably did mean SFIV on 3DS, and that's why he's all giggly about AE? Not sure if I'm going to get excited before I see anything, but I can't help but wonder how Nintendo will try to recapture the hardcore market. Will they finally put their money into some serious games outside their Mario/Zelda comfort zone?

So now that there is a new console finally coming out, can we stop calling this gen next-gen? Or should we just call the Wii 2 next-next-gen?

I'd s say the fact that its SCE' most conservative design in history (at least in terms of silicon) somewhat support that statement. The ridiculous TDPs this generation are something that clearly won't be repeated and with the power draw of PC GPUs going off the deep end in recent years, well its simply going to be impossible for them to have cutting edge performance.

WAT?
Damn... this is Nintendo pulling one hell of a bait and switch on MS and Sony. Release the Wii with motion controls with MS and Sony following not even 6 months ago....then pull another trick out of their hat to keep Sony and MS running after them.
2006: Nintendo - "Motion controllers is the way to go"
Late 2010: Sony & MS finally release their own versions of waggle
2011: Nintendo - "haha new console, bitches!"

Now to sit back and watch as everyone is impressed with visuals that a mid-spec PC could do in 2009.

Pretty much. I may not buy at launch, but what's the point of gaming if I'm going to miss out on a Super Mario platformer?

Being more powerful then the ps3/360 is all fine and dandy but I bet most developers would continue to develop their games on the xbox first and then move it over to the Wii 2. Kinda how a majority of them still do that regarding the ps3.

Huh? Nintendo's design philosophy for the N64 was all about power. SNES had some pretty nifty things going for it as well.
Nintendo is not going to win an arms race. But obviously if it is indeed more powerful than current gen consoles, especially PS3, then they can do a lot with the tech.
Sony or MS will most certainly announce their successors with even craziers specs and accuse Nintendo of not being cutting edge.
But the significant news here is that Nintendo is likely to launch first among the 3. Perhaps with Microsoft rushing out a console to launch alongside.
But they won't launch 2nd or last like they have since the SNES era. Sony is the biggest loser as it will force them to stick with the PS3 or undercut their nascent profit recovery by joining in the race.
My last point is this. Nintendo also can't win just with a Nintendo console in HD. I will be interested to see how this new console is different philosophically from current home consoles and how 3DS may connect to it.

Yea, I've seen that list before. Out of all those I'm only interested in:
Conduit 2
Goldeneye 007
Sonic Colors
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Not enough to warrant buying a Wii for me =/

Most importantly are third parties. If, at best, they're just getting quick ports of games on 360/ps3 (or worse, their next consoles) then what's the point? We'll have a gamecube situation all over again. It won't matter how super poweful it is if third parties continue to hate Nintendo.
