I fear farnham is losing his mind 
I'd be ok with 1.5x PS360 graphics. I just want Zelda, Mario in HD

I don't know farham but from reading his posts the last few pages I'd say he is the real life George Costanza: do the exact opposite of what he says.ShockingAlberto said:

well they've got ngp , all those ps3 games etc. I'm guessing they don't want to be over shadowed by nintendo (if they had gotten word of all when deciding their time) like last year.Also their old spot was always shit and overlapped with the opening of the show floor and the beginning of private meetings for journalists.

But I love the scale of a beautiful HD game on my widescreen tv. If the purpose of this 6" screen is to take my attention away from the HD tv then I will be worried. If its a VR helmet I'll be worried for a different reason. But if it makes mario playable on my kitchen table I would freak out.

As far as I'm concerned all Wii 2 needs to do graphically is be capable of 1080p with some decent AA with graphics that are maybe slightly more detailed than the current systems. If this gen proved anything it's that Nintendo doesn't need to match Sony and Microsoft in pure tech to have an extremely profitable console.

Ah, so as of now Sony's will be held on the 6th and the other two don't have a definite date yet. Got it.

First of all, Capcom and Sega most certainly did not ignore the Wii.
Maybe the Wii2 might not get the next gen iterations of those franchises depending on where it falls hardware-wise. However, I don't think it'll be too hard for the Wii2 to come out of the gate with enhanced versions of 2012 multiplatform games like Assassin's Creed 3.
Stumpokapow said:
point is, there were just basically puzzle games and platformers. and sm64ds was a remake with lots of new, good content on system with shitty controls. yoshi was a nice little arcadey thing, but it wasn't the yoshi's island 2 everyone wanted it to be.
it's the equivalent of the 3ds launching, and in the first seven months, the best games are $5-$10 download titles.

if you consider how many copies of resident evil games and monsterhunter games capcom sold and how many sonic games sega sold its pretty mesmerizing how little they did on the platform. the next sonic game will not even be on the wii despite sonic being a constant million seller on the platform. thats worse then ignoring the platform imo

If the streaming thing is true, i gotta be honest, I can't really imagine how it would be useful to me. I have no problem getting off my ass to walk into the next room to sit in front of the TV. Though I see what people are saying about public spaces and mass groups and such; maybe pubs will use it to host trivia nights or something. But that's pretty much useless to home users. Why would I want to play on a tiny screen in my kitchen when I can walk a few feet to my couch?
That said, I can think of some good uses for the screen to enhance gameplay sitting on the couch. Some of it has already been mentioned, like making inventory screens accessible without interrupting gameplay, displaying control schemes and eliminating hideous HUDs, AR applications, etc. Think of a game where you have an item that's supposed to scan something, and the way you do it is by holding up the controller and "scanning" with the screen in your hands as if the item were real. There's use for this sort of thing with console play, regardless of streaming capabilities.

No additional functions
To be fair, the DS was a new way of playing when it came out, plus it changed from 2D only to being able to render 3D. The 3DS doesn't offer anything new other than better graphics (which are still outdated) and stereo 3D. I've only played one game on the 3DS so far (Ridge Racer) but I have to admit I have mixed emotions about the stereo 3D on it. Half the time I turn it off as it's more of a hindrance than aid.AniHawk said:
Farnham - I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but what are you getting at? The Wii2 is doomed for third party support?

i think something like a racing game, platformer, fighting game... basically anything that makes you use the slider pad is going to have crappy 3d, just because you'll be inadvertently moving the entire system slightly, screwing up the sweet spot. this was the case with rayman 2. when i played the best launch game, ghost recon, i also had 3d on, but it was far, far better, and i think it's because it's a strategy game that only needed me to use the d-pad (and occasionally the touch screen, but not during normal gameplay).

It's possible it has already been discussed in the thread before, but does anyone think the controllers will basically be a new Game Boy. Nintendo always said the DS was a third pillar. Maybe they are going back to that. It is a controller for the Wii. But it will work as a stand alone as well.
Wiiware / VC games can be stored on the device (synced to the Wii, like iOS devices are synced to the PC). This way, they can compete in the Angry Birds / Cut the Rope arean of $1 - $5 games as well.

Nintendo proved that if you don't have the graphics you better offer a unique gaming experience that you competitors can't offer. Now that Microsoft and Sony are offering similar experiences, you can clearly see the Wii declining. Going with weak graphics again, the Wii2's controller better be the second coming of the "waggle" or they will be in trouble.Shalashaska161 said:

Even having the games out now running at 1080p is a huge jump in hardware requirements let alone throwing in AA.
I have a question about that, is there any reason why we don't have games that are between 720p and 1080p? Everything is being upscaled anyway, isn't it?
