omg, that looks like a modernized SNES!

Looks like a regular SNES. But black.

 

[JaseMath]

90% of the things IGN has said thus far is total bullshit. That image doesn't help.

 

[Instro]

I hope the Cafe comes in matte purple and grey like the SNES. would be bitchin

I hope its that shitty plastic that turns yellow after awhile too.

 

[Nemo]

Yeah, but they don't count.

Anyone actually prefers NA SNES to the original?

LOL

 

[MisterHero]

yeah but snes is purple

I have to agree, while the other territories had rainbow buttons, the dual purple tones of the SNES was just cool

 

[BertramCooper]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Hmmm, if it looks like a modern SNES perhaps the raised portion on top, instead of being the cartridge slot, would be used to charge the controller and keep the screen on standby for invites?

 

[wrowa]

Looks like a regular SNES. But black.

This is a regular SNES. That other one is just a travesty.

 

[brandonh83]

I fail at obvious sarcasm sometimes.

 

[DECK'ARD]

What's the Sony PS3 wave doing in the background of that image as well?

IGN are enjoying fucking about with all this.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I knew it was suspicious (as I said, it looked like it was simply a black SNES), but I wasn't sure if it was a mock-up I haven't seen before.

 

[brandonh83]

It's not even a black SNES, if you look closely it's just shaded.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Do you have a source on that? Or are you speaking broadly, beyond the subject of Cafe/Wii2?

EDIT: Jeez, everyone is so negative about this! Why all the hate, guys?

 

[Deku]

I knew it was suspicious (as I said, it looked like it was simply a black SNES), but I wasn't sure if it was a mock-up I haven't seen before.

It is an SNES put through a photoshop filter.

FFS, it doesn't look like it, it IS a SNES. You can see the cartridge port and the 2 controller ports.

Seriously, I can see why IGN would take the time to photoshop it cause rabid forum posters desperate for a first look will bend their mind to want to believe something.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Calm down guys, it's just a graphic. I doubt they're trying to get anyone to believe that it's a picture of the actual system.

The lack of verifiable data has driven us all mad!

 

[Doffen]

The dot over the "J" seems out of place.

 

[Krowley]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the mock up has been on their site from the beginning of all this.

I think the black shadowy SNES is actually meant to visually represent the fact that most details of the console are unknown, so it's like a blank slate. I'm pretty sure they're not especially trying to make people think they've seen the console.

So you're saying the new Nintendo definitely uses cartridges, confirmed? ???

black is modern

E3 is going to be spectacular.

Because it all comes across as people trying to seem like they know more than they do.

Going to all the trouble of photoshopping that daft image really doesn't help their cause.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Cartridge port = controller cradle. :O

 

[MisterHero]

i'm gonna assume you meant to link to the American model and derided the SNES2

Wonder Project J3 confirmed?

Spoiler

Makes me long for those early N64 days of total drought where even weird Japanese sims were neat and fascinating to learn about.

 

[DECK'ARD]

I think the system needs a handle.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

...lol.

 

[Fourth Storm]

I think the system needs a handle.

Would fit the codename to actually have the system or controller look like a coffee mug.

E3 is going to be spectacular.

Agreed!

 

[DECK'ARD]

NintendoGAF is being driven mad by 6" touchscreens and black SNES', SonyGAF has already gone insane from PSN-withdrawl, only MicrosoftGAF are safe but vulnerable after Kinect trauma.

We aren't going to make it to E3 :/

 

[watershed]

As far as that DKCR sequel rumor is concerned, is that what everyone was asking for? Because I seem to remember a lot of people (myself included) asking that they not get stuck doing another sequel like prime, prime 2, prime 3.

DKCR was great but now that they've done that I wanna see Retro try their hand at something else. Preferably F-Zero, Star Fox, or Zelda!

THAT'S IT!

Someone Photoshop a round Gamecube with the handle on its side, then make it black!

I choose to go with Krowley's response:

Seriously, I figured they were just trying to give a visual aid to all these rumors. It doesn't even imply we've seen the console. So many IGN-haters around here, wow. I'm pretty sure they did something like this when previous systems were only rumored, too.

Would everyone have been less upset if it looked like this?

And no, I'm not an IGN defender, either, I just don't get all the rabid fangs.

 

[Doffen]

E3 is going to be spectacular.

It always is.

just wait for the "mostly kinect focused e3" and "halo remake" rumors to come out in full force next month , no one is safe we're all gonna go insane.

I hate IGN as much as the next guy but yeah some of these comments are becoming parodies of IGN hating. They just got word of what it might be designed like and threw up their own mock up, simple as that.

So when is the Nintendo conference call thing? Is it tomorrow in eastern time? Or tuesday? Curious to see if they just decline to comment or explain some shizz.

 

[MisterHero]

personally I was addressing the talk from way earlier that it apparently looked like an SNES, not because IGN made a banner

but you know what else? Guys who say Ess-Ehn-Ee-Ess as Sness. Fuck those guys

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Would everyone have been less upset if it looked like this?

I'm not upset by the original picture, but the first thing that popped in my mind upon seeing it was exactly this. I mean it's just common sense to me.

Seriously.

The conference had a universal date/time link earlier. I'll see if I can dig it up (tho Turbo-GAF will probably beat me to it).

Snezz or death (I know it's sness, but snezz is more comfortable to say)

 

[Hero of Legend]

I Just called it the Super Nintendo.

 

[GDGF]

From IGN's front page, where the fuck is that from?

I guess it's supposed to be a pure black SNES?

Many others (myself included) want them to do a full DK trilogy like the Prime series.

The fun part about it is knowing that what we want means absolutely nothing.

Again, nobody has any clue what is true and what isn't. Feel about it how you like but nobody here can unequivocally claim that "90%" of what IGN says is untrue.

For Retro's sake, I would like them to not have to be stuck on the same franchise year after year after year. That would drive me...well...bananas.

Spoiler

I'm sorry.

EDIT: Plinko: No-one ...except JasonMCG, anyway.

i'd like to believe they aren't being stuck/forced to do anything.I mean didn't they have enough input at nintendo to convince them to create the nunchuk attachment for metroid or whatever?

Don't get me wrong, DKCR is a great game but a trilogy takes what 4 to 6 years? I want to see them move around with genres and IPs instead of being stuck making the same kind of games over and over.

 

[Luigison]

This SNES talk got me wondering about the price of Blu-ray and DVD vs. solid state memory chips like the 3DS uses. Could we possible be going full circle in the future? Imagine the reaction if Nintendo went BACK to cartridges/chips in a home console.

 

[Lupin the Third]

i'd like to believe they aren't being stuck/forced to do anything.

As would I, but....I dunno. I just hope they're happy and enjoying working on whatever they're working on at any given time at this point.

EDIT: On a related note, if it's DKCR2, I won't be on board. I didn't buy the first one because it wasn't my cup of tea. Metroid is only vaguely up my alley, but I haven't finished any of them yet. I would like them to work on something I will play and enjoy more than the others.

 

[Plinko]

I'm a bit puzzled by the idea that making a successful game series would be considered "being stuck." If the games are successful, what makes you think that the guys at Retro don't want to do the series? It makes them look great.
