I always said I'll buy the systems that let me play Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and GTA (added since Vice City). Looks like I could be one title away from eliminating a second console this generation.

What's scary is we're already far over 1/10th of the thread size limit in just two days. With really very little new information. We're going to have to be switching threads every couple hours come E3
Edit - One day?

tell that to Ubisoft. after the sucess of Red Steel, they should have quickly followed up with Red Steel 2. instead they wait 4 years when the public stopped caring

As they are working with Activision, if it can handle whatever they are working on(technically & in terms of online infrastructure) I would have thought it would be a shoo-in.

So it makes the most sense to launch this in Spring - Summer 2012, right? Revealing your hand and then launching the system more than a year after the reveal seems like a very strange move. Has that ever happened?
So excited to see what they have playable at E3. HD Nintendo games OMG.

I know. At this point it is sounding like Nintendo may have 2 awesome E3's in a row. Is that even legal?liger05 said:

For some people the current console set-up is fine, they see the 360 controller (with a better dpad) as the evolution endpoint for interaction with games and see games as a well established medium and so all they want is for games to have improvements in already established technology, graphics, physics, AI, animation etc. Others want to see a paradigm shift and to see experimentation into what sometimes will be dead-ends, other times will produce something new and interesting. Motion controls are somewhat 'ordinary' now, but they hinted at a unique direction for games, a physical interaction beyond pressing buttons, a fuzzier, less x=y type of input in a similar way to the focus on physics in HL2.Amir0x said:

I want Nintendo to release a machine that is capable of make Amir0x say: "Oh, sweet mother of God... it's beautiful!"

Exactly. There are a handful of developers that currently care about a 60fps framerate right now (and that took a hit last year when Criterion released HP). Fighting games are really the only genre right now where developers will do what it takes to get a 60fps framerate.

Crazy times. Who thought just some two weeks ago that we are a mere two months away from playing Nintendo's next generation console?

Hmmm... in America? or in Japan as well? Is this because it won't be launched in the fiscal year?From The Dust said:

anywhere. and yea, Nintendo didn't list it in their expectations for the next fiscal year so it's safe to say Q1/Q2 is out of the question

Pikmin 3 would make this a day 1 purchase for me. I really liked Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 was pretty much the 2nd best gameplay experience I had on the GCN (RE4 being #1). I can only imagine the detailed goodness that can come with an HD system and decent graphics power.
Fernando Rocker said:
Not that hard.
One, to have a system that is technically competent for the time frame it's launching in up to $399.99.
Two, to have a great online infrastructure in place.
Three, creating a slate of NEW hardcore IPs INTERNALLY DEVELOPED with the budget and marketing of a Zelda or Mario game. I'm so tired of their franchise abuse.
Four, Pikmin 3.
Five, ZERUDA.
Six, MARIO.
Seven, no more gimmick controllers. Refine yo' shit.
They already have three of them, now let them approach the other four.

They quickly followed up...it was just canned in 2008 when it was more or less ready for release (partly due to quality concerns, partly due to Motion+). Ubisoft loves to restart their titles, see Prince of Persia or Splinter Cell Conviction as well as I Am Alive.

That one even had online multiplayer!

A 4670 with GDDR5 in a closed box, wouldn't struggle to run X360/PS3 level content at 1080p at all.

I guess. but even without the M+, they could heavily improve in the sequel. I actually think the series had a chance if Ubisoft followed up on it
You'll never ever have this, unfortunately. 30fps upscaled 720p won't be a problem for most users (they probably won't even notice), and that allow for four times more things or screen, possibly even more... The bells'n whistle will always win this fight.Boerseun said:
Still, we can hope that at least the fastest games aim for 60p, and the most cinematic ones aims for 1080p...

You know they are going to say it.Man said:
Playable at E3? I don't think they'll try for a summer or later launch. I think we'll see another Feb/March launch worldwide the same way the Nintendo 3DS was launched this year. This holiday being focused on the 3DS and the last push for the Wii. Then come next year in Feb/March it will launch so the early adopters can buy. Then everyone else once the big named games come out during the holiday later that year. The Wii will still sell outside of Japan the same way the PS2 continued to sell but the focus will be on the new system at the very start of next year.
I'm already putting money away from this and for several games. I'm there day one as long as I can get my preorder in. I just hope they include both old school controller and a updated version of the Wii remote.

This makes no sense to me, they have IP's that have laid dormant for years, what difference does it make whether they use one of those rather than creating a new IP?

It will probably be Rainbox Six Vegas Collection.Always-honest said:
