Maybe briefly. I recall N64 launch games reaching $70 and that was in 1996.X-Frame said:

Wow, is this for real? Just read the OP.
I expected something at E3 but am SO HAPPY we're hearing something NOW. FUCK YEAH.

A screen in a controller isn't going to have a higher resolution than the NGP or Iphone 4. If it's that small, there's even less reason for it to be that high of a resolution. The HD part of the rumor is clearly nonsense.

Next gen VMUs. Finally.
What took so long?
Edit: Beaten, with an image, too.

It's being reported by multiple high ranking sources at the same time. So it's pretty much confirmed.
I have a feeling the difference in power between Wii 2 and PS3/720 will be like PS2 was to Xbox or like DC was to PS2. Basically it will be much weaker than the competition, but not weak enough to miss out on the multiplatform games like Wii did.
Of all companies I think Microsoft have the best chance to differentiate themselves from the competition, they can include an imroved Kinect that is a HD camera and has more accurate tracking, if every console has Kinect built in there console will stand out the most. PS4 would just be a more powerful Wii 2.

Tech had to catch up man. Hopefully they won't beep loudly every time you turn on the system like the DC VMUsDead Man Typing said:

It would be awesome if the controller was nothing but a huge touch screen that also had HD graphics on it. Like in-between an iPhone and an iPad size-wise, so it's comfortable two-handed. Then all the controls would be on the small screen and you wouldn't have anything clogging up the game on the television.
That's what I'm envisioning right now and will be disappointed in anything else.
Not really, but I'd no doubt be in line Day One if Nintendo did this.

Wii2 launching with a Cell processor inside would be absolutetly hilarious. With all the talk of a WiiHD we'd actually be getting a PS3 SuperHD.From The Dust said:

It's a controlled leak, as others have already surmised. Apple is the king of this. They let slip bits and pieces of information, the entire press core reports on it over the span of a day or two. Builds hype for the actual unveiling, come time.
They sorta kinda did this with the 3DS.
Perhaps you should stop drinking at work, for starters.demonturkey said:
People claim that a Wii successor in 2012 would be instantly outclassed by Sony and Microsoft's heirs in 2013 from a power standpoint for third party support, but there's no proof of that being the case. The 360 got a year's head-start over the PS3, did it not? I wouldn't say they were abandoned by major third party games all that much, even if the tech was weaker. Nintendo can get away with releasing the weakest of the three next-gen systems if it remains profitable for them, they just have to make enough of a step over PS3/360 that they're not almost an entire generations'-worth behind again. It shouldn't be that difficult.

There is no fucking way they will put a HD screen in the fucking controller. First off that would make the console itself including one controller prohibitvely expensive enough, but then what about additional controllers for the system, wouldn't they cost $100 at the very least? Also, wouldn't they be quite fragile? Nintendo has always seemed to manufacture very sturdy components that could take a good amount of wear and tear.
On one hand, I don't know if I'm ready for next gen yet.
On the other hand, this is going to make E3 soooooooooooo much more entertaining/interesting.
Also, they need to make sure Cammy stays off the stage like last year. Keep her "would only if paperbagged" face online like last year.

Why would you do that?

I don't think Nintendo will need shaders to make many of their games look that much better. Mostly just higher resolution textures and more polygons.Nuclear Muffin said:
I mean, Galaxy looks amazing with no shaders... Even the 3DS Mario and Paper Mario are looking great.
Of course, many games will have a huge benefit from shaders. But time will tell...

HD might be a bit of a misnomer.
It could just be a really clear good looking screen that doesn't even display in 480p.

Emulation is different than BC. It's why the DS cant emulate most SNES games for crap but can play FAR more complex 60fps 3d ds games. It takes FAR, FAR more power to emulate a system than to actually run it.ReyVGM said:
Think of it like this. It's easier and quicker for me to write in my handwriting than for you to try to write in my handwriting perfectly. The wii2 has the wii's vhands built in, your PC doesnt. So it has to dedicate all it's power imitating it, which is why CPU power is the deciding factor most of the time, not gpu power when it comes to emulation on pc. You're card can easily dislplay the polygons but the cpu is trying its hardest to imitate a wii, which it is not.

That seems prohibitively expensive for a controller, especially if Nintendo wants to keep a focus on split screen co-op and party games.

HD screen in the controller....doubtful unless the controller is going to cost at least $100.

So, I guess the question is how much more powerful will this be than the current consoles?
It will be awesome if it's a super beast. $599!
But realistically I expect it to be a modest upgrade, ala 3DS over PSP.

Can nintendo make the "screen on a controller" concept work? The reason the dreamcast one failed is because nobody wants to look at the controller while they're playing a game.

It's interesting that Nintendo will be revealing their next console while Sony and MS will likely not at E3.

That's obvious. Everyone leaking at the same time says that Nintendo just gave evryone permission to start whispering about it. The fact that they chose today of all days to start the whisper campaign makes me wonder if this isn't partly about distracting from the meh Wii/3DS numbers too.DeathbyVolcano said:

did you just buy a system this year or last?
the systems themselves are really old by any console generation standard. launches in late 2012 is definitely a good place to start. heck, I would want ALL THREE to lanch in 2012, but Nintendo might be the only one.
edit: also Cammy left Nintendo almost a year ago. keep up

What would be the purpose of adding a screen to the controller? I genuinely can't think of many uses for it

So if this is real then I guess maybe SSF4 3D may be cross compatible with a console version after all. lol
