Sony will respond with NGP and lots of PS3 stuff.
I think MS is off in its own little world, though. Last year was just awful. We'll see, though.

That's pretty lame.szaromir said:
The game would probably not have been very good, but I would have liked to have seen it.
Whoa, forgot all about this game. Did it just become vaporware? It was like one of those (unrealistic, completely improbable) bastions of hope for sophisticated adult content on Wii back in its early days. Instead we got the (no doubt far, far superior) Shattered Memories, which looked good from the start and absolutely delivered. (Predictable scares aside.)Dissonance said:

Considering all the "roughly equal to a 360" talk, it seems like they're going for the latter. The only difference is that whatever novelty they come up with will almost certainly not be as successful as the Wiimote and definitely won't make up for the power gap between Cafe and the other systems.

It was never real. The whole thing was a scam for investor money, last I heard.Neiteio said:
All the "screenshots" were live action pictures or artwork with blur filters painted over them.

Oh geez, are we talking about holograms in here?
Nintendo doesn't invent new technology, people.

But then again, as long as the system is HD, the graphics will be at the point of diminishing returns. Sorry, but that "next-gen" target reel of the detective flicking his cigarette in Blade Runner just looks like more of the same at a glance. The difference between this gen and next won't be so obvious as between this gen on an HDTV and last gen (GCN/Wii tech) on an SDTV.Snakeyes said:
And what's this about holograms??

Yeah, it got cancelled because of development and publisher issues. It even caused Nibris to go under.Neiteio said:

The controller IS the console AND the screen.
It's a 18" ipad with multiple touch and haptic feedback, not portable.
It's the only way a screen "attached" to a controller could bring an improvement in gameplay without being ackward.
BELIEVE!
I don't see them taking the gamecube controller and attach a screen on it.

Can it detect pupil dilation? Two biometric features.. This would backup what Gabe has been mentioning about what will be in the next console(s).
C'mon Nintendo, unveil a killer partnership with Valve at E3. Exclusive content + Steam-esque online system, here I come!

Really? I heard it was real.ShockingAlberto said:
One of the composers on the game even released the unfinished work to the public last year. Still, it had a kickass concept.

Why was I questioning if controls above a touch screen is possibe when it's already been done?!
I think the devs were bragging about a minecart they modeled. That's how "real" it was.Dissonance said:Really? I heard it was real.

I refuse! I think it's a fancy name.apana said:
Yes but this is rumored to be backwards compatible so it would be able to play Wii games.JimWood27 said:

DQ has been released after a successor system has come out before. Even if that were true, it wouldn't be something new.PounchEnvy said:

I guess they ment that the 3D would be on the control screen only.M74 said:
If this really does launch next march (which I really think it won't) it'll be this first time since the Saturn/N64 that a new home console has laucned in the spring-summer months. It's going to have a long drought until the next holiday season. Nintendo would be going against the standard retail buying cycle. 3DS launch the sequel?

I dont know what you would use a screen on a controller for, other than menu maps and such. But in regards to that screen some people are saying that its a mimicked just like the wiimote. And then you have the rumors that say it will be a notch above the 360 which will seemingly put Nintendo in the same position as this generation. But my thing is the wii mote wasnt really a success they talk about how they have entered the mainstream, and how the average consumer loves thier product, but that doesnt mean they want another one. The people that made the wii a success doesn't care about a wii 2, hell they probably didnt buy another game after wii sports. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Nintendo thinks they reached critical success, but in reality it was only a love affair.

I'm very much sure that thats gonna be built into the the controller. We just don't have the details yet.L00P said:

I don't think Nintendo would have a problem with having the best-selling home console launch ever. Of course, they'd have to keep the momentum going with a solid lineup of titles unlike the 3DS, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.
Financially speaking, they would have a very strong fiscal year if they focused this holiday season on the 3DS and Wii bundles at $150, and then finished the fiscal year off with the release of a new console.
Were they ever "above"?Dissonance said:
On point: Headtracking could almost certainly be done. I wouldn't be surprised to see it and I hope they make it work. It would be an interesting thing to see, especially in FPS games. But when people start talking about holograms, forget trying to sort out what's real and what's bull.

The launch titles would sustain summer demand, and hopefully it'll get a bunch of multiplatform games in the fall. Not to mention all the ports. I should also imagine there's lots of Nintendo's internal studios unaccounted for, so they'll probably be working on N6 titles?neptunes said:
And yeah, PS3 EU launch was March 23rd 07 iirc.
Eh...the 3DS launch had more going against it than just the March release though. Price, relatively poor launch game lineup, potential brand dilution and an apparent failure to market it as a true "new generation" device. The addition of HD and a new type of controller already guarantee that the generally-uninformed will have a much harder time writing Cafe off as simply another marginal upgrade. Toss in Mario or Pikmin HD, some good-quality ports of current HD games and maybe one or two new efforts from some known third parties, and it could build up at worst a modest lead before the big holiday boom.neptunes said:
