Zoramon089 said:LOL, was this based on that article that didn't take into account teh cost of labor and various other factors that go into the cost of a system? Simply adding up the cost of the tech inside the system is stupid
Why not a new Castlevania instead?Machado said:less shovelware please...
and castlevania lords of shadows port.
Because maybe we can get it at a stable framerate this time?Dissonance said:Why not a new Castlevania instead?

I don't know man, I'd prefer a totally new game done by Konami and not resembling God of War.Saint Gregory said:Because maybe we can get it at a stable framerate this time?

KAL2006 said:You are just talking out of you ass now. A controller with a touchscreen would cost significantly less than a 3DS. You know that the touchscreen is rumored to be low res and only single touch according to that french website.
Also again you are ignoring if there was a hybrid handheld/console the console would not be as powerful, you won't be able to fit a DVD/Bluray into the handheld, battery life would be shit, screen on the handheld would have to be 1080p and etc. Also lets not forget Nintendo would rather make money on 2 things than just 1 thing.
EDIT:
you are just pushing for an idea that you are dreaming of, but is illogical in reality
wsippel said:We actually have no idea how much a 3DS costs. We do know that the $100 are bullshit, though. Also, there's a lot of stuff in the 3DS the Frankenpad wouldn't need. No local processor, no storage, no RAM, no cartridge slot. It's basically a regular controller with a tacked on LCD and a slightly more expensive wireless chipset. I have no idea how much a 6" screen is in bulk, but according to TechInsights, a bigger, higher resolution capacitive touch screen is $45, and that's in much smaller numbers. Nintendo might pay Sharp, I don't know, $30 per screen? So no, we're not looking at a $250 controller either way.
If we can get a sequel to Lords of Shadow at 60 FPS...Phonomezer said:Because Lords of Shadow is an excellent game!

Reallink said:You are confusing my point. The Wii 2 base station would remain as is, BR, R700 GPU, IBM CPU, and whatever else. Only difference would be redesigning the 3DS into a single 6" screen device. Maybe it could be 3D, maybe not. That wouldn't really be necessary with a unique product model like this.
I think you're over estimating the tier and expense of the 3DS's innards, much less what Nintendo actually pays. It's hardly cutting edge tech. I still do not believe it would be far removed from what would be required in some semi-smart streaming controller.

Skiesofwonder said:I can't believe this thread is still alive and kicking. I thought for sure the new IGN thread was the death of this.
Is there really anything else to talk about now? Haven't we covered all bases at least three times? I just wish a Mod would freeze this thread until Monday so I can stop clicking in the hope of new information or at least a decent conversation.
I mean A fake Wii 2 mock-up on a piece of toast? Really?

artwalknoon said:I thought 01net updated today with information that the controller looks a bit like the uDraw tablet from THQ except with buttons, info about the screen resolution, and about streaming "full games" to the controller like IGN said a while ago. If this is true we are slowly getting a clearer picture of the console and "confirming" some of our own speculation in this thread.
KAL2006 said:really? didn't know french website updated their info with this, are you sure
Yeah, but it's a party. That's the important thing.Skiesofwonder said:I hardly find Wii toast, Homer Simpson, and the incoming creation of bingo cards relevant.......
KAL2006 said:I don't understand didn't you say before there is no point of 3DS, the WiiHD should have been a hybrid handheld/console. So my point stands. If all the processing, DVD remains on the WiiHD then how exactly would the controller be a handheld if it doesn't have any of that.
Yeah they do talk about streaming games now. They dont specify what type of games but they do talk about streaming now.KAL2006 said:really? didn't know french website updated their info with this, are you sure
From The Dust said:I still don't like the "stream full games" thing. in my dorm, I'm only 10 ft away from my tv at the most.
AceBandage said:Zelda HD while you're on the can.
From The Dust said:I guess. how much battery does streaming drain anyway?
Reallink said:My proposal was to literally put the 3DS's guts (CPU, GPU, RAM, MOBO) into this 6" streaming controller as market them as one product (that plays both console and portable games) While not a literal console/portable hybrid, it would be in practice as the "3DS" would serve as the Wii 2's standard primary controller and gimmick (the streaming stuff, and whatever else they have planned).
KAL2006 said:well that is kind of stupid, then that is not a console/handheld hypbrid, that is just bundling a handheld and a console together which is stupid. Why didn't GBA come with GameCube, why didn;t DS come with Wii, hell why doesn't NGP come with PS4. I will tell you why because it is pointless and only add to the cost, what is the point if it is not truly a hybrid, and they will have seperate games, this is basically just selling 2 devices together for no apparent reason. Like I said many times before having a screen on a controller does not make the price anwhere near a price of full handheld console.
Igor Antunov said:I'm not sure if somebody has brought it up, but would it be possible for the controller to be charged wirelessly, so that it never runs out of juice as long as it is in range of the console?

Holy Order Sol said:wtf.
They say in the beginning that IGN's article confirmed everything they had already stated earlier about the specs, but wasn't that originally something that was different in both? I'm confused.
What they are basically saying now is IGN is supporting them in general hardware info. A Tri-Core IBM CPU and R700 GPU. The French said it first so basically tooting their horn.Holy Order Sol said:wtf.

GDGF said:I know people are worried about a new gamepad splitting the market with the WiiMotion Plus if games are going to use one or the other, but (and this is a rumor that's been floating around a few lesser known sites) what if all new games are compatible with both control options. Like, say, an option screen similar to the one from SSBM integrated into the actual system. WiiMotion Plus remotes are cheap as hell to manufacture now-a-days. Couldn't they just throw one in the box?
Maybe you're saying this doesn't jive with the rumors about upgraded Wiimote functionality. Well, the Wiimote Plus already has a dual-axis tuning fork gyroscope, and a single-axis gyroscope. Is there a way to increase the performance/accuracy of the WiiMotion Plus without changing its internals? Would adding an external camera or upgraded sensor bar directly to the Wii2/Project Cafe' system itself achieve this? It could be a great option for Nintendo. Stick on in the box for cheap (alongside the new controller) and just keep the ones they already have on the shelves that can be used by both Wii and Wii two, but when used with Wii 2 they become more accurate. Nintendo's already shown they have no problem with putting additional hardware inside the box to justify cost (like the charging cradle included with the 3DS) Seems like a nice solution if it's possible. Sorry if this has already been covered. Long thread is long.
onken said:If you'll be able to play the whole game just on the controller doesn't that mean any usage of the controller-screen (for menus and such) when playing on the TV has to be completely optional?
