These three, please. I really hope the 3DS price thing (based on hype, apparently) doesn't become a trend at all.
Heh, GAF keeps dying on me. Imagine what'll happen when E3 rolls around. Sheesh!

I have been gagging for this since the day Wii launched and I saw a hideous amount of blur and jaggies on my HDTV.

I reckon it'll be as powerful as PS360. Then PS4 and 460 will will be so much more powerful. So Wii 2 will receive a whole bunch of ports from the current generation and miss out on all the PS4720 stuff. It'll start all over again!Mrbob said:

I think this is great news and all, but if Nintendo wants to appeal to the western gamer again as well as the "hardcore" market, what kind of evolution will they bring to the "bald space marine" genre? Mario is fine for nerds and feminine manbabies, but the rest of us "hardcore gamers" will need the biggest, baddest-assiest, head-explodin'est, chainsaw-to-the-ballsiest, beer-swillin'est, "DEW"-fest they can come up with. Maybe some kind of game where the entire world tries to invade 'Merica and players have to shoot them with "freedom guns" that have U.S. flags for bayonetts?
Who will make games for it? Mark Rein? I don't see how successful launch is possible when most of the internal studios right now are preoccupied with 3DS games. Will it support 3D? How much time will pass before we see a new Zelda game? How can we expect Nintendo to deliver decent functionality at launch when they couldn't prepare eShop for 3DS's launch? Too many questions and I'm not sure answers will please everyone.
And I believe you should do the opposite when nothing is working out for you, not the other way.

I'm praying this next console has standard controller compatibility with all its games. Otherwise I won't get it
I don't enjoy using the Wiimote...

I have to wonder how thought out their strategy was - because I could see this as having been planned all along.
I wonder if...
1. They were confident in their "casual gamer" approach and the ability for motion controls to bring people in
2. So they make their console SD, less powerful, etc. and make lots of money by selling it at $250 for years.
3. MS and Sony make their consoles uber powerful by comparison, sell them at a loss, which makes lengthening the console life-span important in order to recoup costs / make money
4. MS and Sony gravitate toward the "casual" market, pin their hopes on motion controls to extend the console life-span
5. Nintendo is free to move first in ending their console's lifespan, releases something significantly more powerful right at the time when MS and Sony are trying to extend their consoles through motion controls (the general concept of which is no longer novel)
6. Sony and MS are now pressured to do what they don't want to do: release their next system sooner rather than later, etc.
You have to wonder how much of this "all according to plan."

have developers even gotten the most out of our current gen consoles?

That sucks. But I doubt it, since in all likely hood their next console will build upon the Wii, Kinect, and Move. They won't revert back to the old stuff, risking some very awkward moments.

I'm gonna contact Gabe Newell using my Sony influences (I work at Sony) too plant him the idea of Steam in a Nintendo console!

Another issue I hope they fix: Make purchases tied to user accounts, not the physical console.

We're all getting hyped, but the console won't launch until late 2012. 3DS should be on its second round of software by then.

In all seriousness, giving Valve free reign to create the console's online infrastructure is just about the smartest thing Nintendo could do. They'd have a service that craps all over Xbox Live available from launch and wouldn't have to pay a penny for it.
Giving up control isn't really in Nintendo's DNA but they'd capture the attention of the hardcore market straight away and be the darlings of the development community by going with a solution that many are all ready using.
Not in this age when high-end blockbuster games designed with $20-$60 million budgets are becoming equally important to driving the sales of hardware and overall software. The 360 has been bursting at the seams for years now, despite it being aggressively designed on the outset. Had the competition been better designed, they could have plausibly overtaken the 360's market share of blockbuster games.Azelover said:
Yes, Nintendo is always at a disadvantage of delivering hardware power at the initial onset. This will become extremely evident when MS and Sony releases their next generation consoles 1-2 years after Nintendo, and will draw off a lot of developer and publisher interest. However, Nintendo can avoid ending up in the same position as the Wii if they choose to do so by doing what their competition is NOT doing -- controls, software, market demographic, AND hardware design. They already do the former three, but it hasn't been enough. They can certainly trump Sony and MS if they design the next generation console with scalability in mind.

Wow! LOTS of stuff going on today
Anyway, the next thing I want to hear is that LoZ:SS has officially become a "Wii2" title and will be released at launch.
YES, I'M WILLING TO WAIT FOR 2012 TO PLAY THIS FUCKER ON MY WII2!
At least they could make it Wii2 enhanced.

Depends on how powerful the Wii2 ends up being. If it truly is significantly more powerful than a PS3, then I agree, but if it only brings Nintendo up to par with the 360 and PS3, then I don't think MS and Sony will be in such a rush.

Are we sure about that or just judging from Ghost Recon screenshots?GodDuckman said:
By the way, great game, go get it people!
Game Cube, Wii and Xbox are all similar, so the 3DS has about the same power which is pretty much enough for a handheld.

The mario galaxy squad is going to do some ridiculous things with that amount of horsepower at 60fps...if it's true, that is. I'm sure Retro will show people how its done as well. Not that they haven't already, but you know.
