I would say that the level of graphics will be commensurate with the price point. You can always have better if you are willing to pay for it. The thing is how much are people willing to pay.

Honestly, the only stories I really even kind of believe are the GI and IGN ones.
Everything else appeared conveniently after those.

I'm still working my way through the trilogy. Played through all of the games when they released but just got the trilogy a while back so I haven't had the time to play it (loving the Wii controls on Prime 1 & 2).Retro said:
Also thinking of getting Super Metroid on the VC so I can play through it again as well.
Sorry for the OT!

They did pretty well with wii. General audience is not from gaming board.
01net is worth following just to see what happens. They do have sources but its very obvious their Nintendo leaking source is no where near the quality of their Sony leaking source or at least no where near willing to spill to the level of detail that the Sony source is.ShockingAlberto said:

As evidenced by the never-ending supply of "PlayStation Phone" (Xperia Play) leaks and NGP/PSP2 leaks, I think it's safe to say that Sony is really far more of a leaky faucet than Nintendo is.

I hate to always be 'this person' but using a more recent architecture tells us nothing about its performance vs 360's GPU. All these architectures will scale to any performance range Nintendo wants - lower, the same, higher than 360. Much higher if they wanted and could fit it in there.
There's nothing inherent or implied about performance in the architecture. However, I'd like to think something like a 320 or 480 shader ALU configuration would be reasonable at least even with low power requirements. That would be a decent bit more powerful than Xenos, although whether a dev would consider it a notch more or significantly more might be a matter of opinion...

Well, whatever Nintendo uses, it will be custom, of course.
But being in line with a 4xxx or 5xxx means even at a lower end, it's more powerful than the 360.
If they are really courting third parties and hardcore gamers, they won't skimp on the power.

God no, DCKR was an abomination.
This had better be Retro getting the freedom to create a new IP.

Retro has actually been heavily recruiting staff lately. A new console with much more power would probably require them to expand. This could also mean that Retro is working on multiple titles at a time now, and we could start seeing something frequently from the little Texas studio.

Totally different set of circumstances.
The Wiis selling point was the controller, and it went up against two new consoles. However this is Nintendo going at it alone, and unless this touch controller is as much of a hook as the Wii controller, then forget about it.
It will be more expensive than the 360, and probably than the PS3. It better show off some pretty radical visuals to be able to hook people back in.

Donkey Kong Country Returns is bad and an insult to the series's best game, Donkey Kong Country 2. Laugh all you want, it only serves to show how bad your tastes are for all the world to see.
AceBandage said:
The very lowest end they may be, but there are 4xxx and 5xxx GPUs less powerful than Xenos, AFAIK. And indeed being a custom chip, Nintendo's variant can be anything...I certainly think it will be more powerful than Xenos, but the gap could be anything really. The architecture doesn't imply a certain level of 'gap'.

DKCR would have been much more acceptable without the annoying awful, shoe horned motion controls. I like Motion controls when done right, but there are certain games where the absolutely don't belong and DKCR was most definitely one of them.

If you can actually present a reasonable argument as to why you disagree, as I did with my points of view, you might as well have said nothing because you have contributed nothing.

Yep some conflicting statements. In any case I find it strange that Nintendo hasn't denied these rumors about the new console. They used to rush to the scene to say that the Wii had a long life ahead of it. It seems that all you can get is some 'we don't comment on rumors' responses from the helpdesk people. As far as I'm aware Reggie or other representatives haven't commented on this. Maybe Miyamoto had something to say in Paris this week, but those interviews are without a doubt under embargo or heavily controlled/censored by Nintendo's PR team.

I wills say that as objectively as I can rate it, its an 8/10 game interms of being well contructed, but it is still completely unenjoyable. I feel the same way about the God of War games. Well made, but still shit.

I don't think actively employing cognitive dissonance makes for a very compelling argument.Mortrialus said:
Mortrialus said:
I loved the level design, i loved the presentation, i loved the gameplay mechanics and what they did with new and old ideas and i had no problem whatsoever with the use of motion controls in this game. They are quite enjoyable, actually.
All in all, amazing game the 90% of whatever gets hyped out there should want to sacrifice their left nuts to be as good.

I'm not so sure. It allows them to join the hype without hurting third parties presence on the new platform.
What it really goes against is this that Wii 2 is coming out next year and SS is most definitely coming out this year. There can be no doubt.

The utter, deafening silence from all branches of Nintendo strongly suggests that the rumours are broadly true (new console, unveiled at E3 etc.) even if the details are incorrect in places.
They're basically sitting back and letting the gaming press run riot in a way that could have - I'd imagine - some fairly serious implications for their stock, among other things, and I can't imagine they'd do that if there was no truth to be found here.

There are plenty of things that have a fantastic amount of artistry and/or well executed craftmanship, but that doesn't necessarily make them enjoyable.
gerg said:
Nope. I actually said none of that. I said it was crushed under the weight of its superior predecessor , DKC2, which I will say still holds up as a 10/10 game and is infinitely more enjoyable. The game still "works" as a game despite my dislike of it. I still see no reason why anyone who has played DKC2 would consider it an acceptable addition to the franchise.
