Lupin the Wolf said:I will be very disappointed if the controller doesn't have two bumpers and two triggers and instead does some oddball GameCubey route with one hinged, tiny bumper button or something silly. (I think the very original IGN/01net rumors did confirm bumpers and triggers, though, yes?)
i´ll take whatever controls they offer me. I can imagine this game could be great with a tablet.DECK'ARD said:If better support pointer controls though, even if we have to use a Wiimote.
I haven't waited this long for a new Pikmin only to be deprived of ordering them around in the best possible way.
Oh God.EatChildren said:Of course there's a good reason not to announce it.
It's Microsoft E3 surprise.

No need for that. 3DS improves upon DS, but the old DS games work just as they do on original DS.ipukespiders said:A new online strategy would remove all current titles online capabilities, but I could live with that.
Please next time you've got a GIF that big just link it.Fat Goron said:What about this?

Not talking about Café itself, but about the next generation as a whole.....

I'm going to steal your post for next time I start a page. Have you thought of porting your rumor timeline over to this thread?BlackNMild2k1 said:No thanks, it was likely just a one time thing to switch up the "rumor recap" post.
Rumor Consolidation 2011
I was taking all the Nintendo related rumors I ran across and posting them in that thread. I consolidated them back in April when all the Cafe rumors started and then kept updating it as new rumors get posted. Not everything made it to the list, just the things that didn't seem 110% fake the minute I posted it.

Not really magic, but being able to toggle between menus, maps and a virtual keyboard would be quite nice, yeah!TunaLover said:A keyboard on the controller screen could be magic to play Monster Hunter 4 =')
Rockstar is NOT announcing GTA V at Nintendo's conference, let's keep our delusional thoughts on the Valve network thing.Reasonable Rumors:
Rockstar has something to show (GTA V?)

This is basically the reason I started in the first place.swerve said:I'd like to stress my support for BMF and cohorts for keeping the thread's main topic together, and I am not going to be ignoring you because I can happily scroll past a post.
This thread getting bumped for discussions about the worth of Donkey Kong Country Returns was irritating my THIRST FOR Wii2 NEWS.
I wonder if we'll be able to send messages to other users whilst the machine is in standby?
Lupin the Wolf said:However, let's not forget the overheating problems the Wii has when using WiiConnect24....Nintendo may not want to repeat those problems.
idwl said:"Zumba® Fitness 2 will launch on Wii this holiday season and another-to-be announced platform in early 2012."
Majesco press release. So repeat of 3DS situation. Reveal in E3 early 2012 launch .

This is a really good starting point of figuring out where to place the CPU capability wise.jacksrb said:Have seen some demos listed for the 4770 GPU, only to see subsequent posters say that only one think in the demo was being rendered, or another issue with using that as example.
Anyone have a representative example of what would be possible in a console-ization of the 4770?
[I realize that it could be something else in the R700 series]
