"Feeling experimental or just bored with the current crop of HTPC remotes? Have a look at the $149 GlideTV Navigator a wireless, touchpad remote with media and smart navigation buttons thats compatible with Windows Media Center, iTunes, Apple Front Row, Boxee, Hulu Desktop, and others applications. The remote is designed to be held in the palm of your hand and operated by just your thumb. GlideTV Navigator is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3, as well as any set-top device that supports standard [USB] mouse and keyboard HID devices. And, if you plan on using the GlideTV Navigator with Windows, you can install custom GlideTV software that will provide your HTPC with an on-screen keyboard and a media search portal to your favorite sites on the Net".

Hmm, I just really don't see how they're going to make these new controllers with screens on them, and still be motion sensor for BC. I mean, are they going to use a small ass screen to keep the controllers smaller, or a bigger screen making the controller like a GBA in size..? The more I think about it, the less sense it seems to make to include a screen on a controller that has wii-mote functions, but hell, what do I know.

So is mouse and keyboard, and I'll take a controller over both any day of the year. As for motion, I'm not interested in waggling or moving any part of my body other than my fingers. Ever.

Good news. Can't say I'm too excited about buying an HD Nintendo system, but this should force MS/Sony's hand and make them release their successors sooner rather than later.

They modified a standard optical media. I am not sure why this precludes blu-ray!ChuckNoLuck said:
Did someone (anyone?) already go over what each Nintendo team is involved in? Considering their two flagship teams are already involved in some heavy duty games (EAD Tokyo with Super Mario 3DS and EAD with Skyward Sword), plus Retro still making another Wii title, it just seems like if there is a blow out at this E3, it will be very light on actual content, as opposed to the 3DS unveiling.

Will it have 3rd party support?

EAD Tokyo expanded to 2 teams. Considering SMG2 was said by Nintendo to be done in 2009 but sat on because of NSMBW whichever team made it would be comfortably along in development for whatever they took up next.
Retro I dont think we can say what they are doing. Even if they were put on the Wii2 right away Nintendo would never confirm it and just say another title.
+1 for staying away from dual analog (for some genres). They make it a chore to play console shooters. Not that there's much of a reason to play them in the first place. 
My brother bought a Move and Killzone 3 and brought it over a couple weeks ago. While there is definitely a learning curve to aiming and moving around with it (particularly the latter), and there is a fatigue element that sets in, I still prefer it to dual analog because I don't feel nearly as hampered.
Obviously, mouse/kb still rules everything by a large margin in genres like RTS and FPS, but I don't see consoles getting unrestricted access to those any time soon. In the mean time, give me increasingly precise motion control tools over the inherently limited dual analog scheme.

I literally came back in here to type out that I only hope this thing is powerful enough to run Frostbite 2.0 or Crysis at full settings. I would be shocked if that happened.
antonz said:
I thought the second EAD Tokyo team was extremely small? Wasn't their first title a DSi downloadable app? I'm sure someone else can shed some light on here. As far as Retro, I remember reading at the beginning of this year some job postings that made it clear they were working on a Wii title.

THANK YOU JESUS.
We can finally move on from DVDs as a storage unit. If Nintendo goes with blu-ray then it also puts more pressue on Microsoft as well to go with blu-ray. This is great news for PC gamers too as we can start getting disks on blu-ray.

boiled goose
good with gravy
some kind of touch interface makes sense i think. ( smart phones and tablets are the big thing right now and it is the interface ppl will be comfortable with )
I would like to have a controller that is as much of a hybrid as possible. motion, touch screen, two sticks, pointer, maybe even vitality sensor. (dont know where everything will fit haha) there might be a base controller with addons like the nunchuck or something.
it needs to be considerably more powerful than current gen consoles. if not, nintendo will lose out on multiplatform titles again. multiplatform development is more important, than before as we have seen this gen given the increased dev costs.
if it is a marginal upgrade over current consoles i will have very little reason to upgrade from a wii for a long long time.

I was under the assumption we all wanted third party support on the next Nintendo console? Because that's the only way they have a chance at getting it.

Fuck Blu-ray! I want carts! Use SD cards Nintendo ala 3DS! 6 to 10 GB at launch!
I went SSD on my PC and I never want load times over 5 seconds again!

they will probably just focus on showing it and the controller, saying a name and showing third parties are on board .
It was mostly just them rambling the same stuff over and over about how if Nintendo is gonna go HD they need to bring more to the table than just that. Repeat that 50 times over 20 minutes and you gettheir podcast.Amir0x said:
It was just a duh moment. Even Nintendo has said since 2006 that when they jump to HD they have to have more to it than just that
BocoDragon said:Aside from all that "making money" stuff.
yeah, once again, gamer here, not stock holder. I don't care if they make one penny or a trillion. I only care that they stop holding back gaming progress and they get back to making games for the people who got them here.

The rumors of the Wii succesor are interesting. If Nintendo is planning on making a system quite a bit more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3 I hope it isn't to big and is well built. Nintendo's systems are usually really well built and smaller than other system makers. all the nintendo systems I've ever gotten from the nes to the Wii are still working except my gameboy color which died a tragic death by chocolate milk.
The new controller with the screen in it sounds interesting and ridiculous at the same time. It sounds interesting because I loved the dreamcast vmu's especially for sports games like NFL2K or the NBA 2K series where you could call plays out on the vmu. It might work well with a pokemon game. the ridiculous part is a wiimote already cost more than current Nintendo Wii games cost how much will this one cost with a a hd screen in the controller cost? I wonder can Nintendo get third party support to jump on board especially when both Sony and Microsofts next gen consoles will probably eclipse it in power when they are released? If Nintendo shows their next gen system off this year it will be interesting to see Sony and Microsoft's responses. This years E3 and next years should be really entertaining.

Actually, controllers are probably cheap for Nintendo to make. Even the Wii-mote.
Console makers like to overprice the shit out of their accessories.
