No it would be 60fps and possibly 1080p if it doesn't have too many graphical updates.

This is fascinating me and by god I will give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt. Consider me fucking really excited.

I have a question for GPU GAF.
Just comparing the basic specs of RSX and XENOS, they are both beaten by my brothers Mobility Radeon HD5650 in his laptop.
Is that a fair comparison?
Because the Mobile HD5650 is a 40nm part with a TDP of 19 watt.
Sorry if its a dumb comparison....

Yes, I'm pretty sure it does beat them, but by how much, I don't know. I rarely ever look at video cards on laptops.

Well, I think that's it until E3. I'm not expecting anything tonight.

If this really is going to be as easy to multiplat with as it seems, and if Nintendo are pushing pubs to do just that, it could have a stellar lineup for its first year ;-)

The Dreamcast 2 notion is incredibly stupid.
You fail to realize that neither the PS4 nor the Xbox 3 will get a quantum jump in graphics. This was true from the Saturn/N64/PS1 to the Dreamcast/GCN/PS2, the graphics were so bad in that day, that you could notice the difference between Dreamcast/PS2 graphics; but now there isn't much ahead to jump in graphics; an updated Xbox360 or PS3 or Stream Cafe is the best you'll get with current technology.
Developers won't bleed money so you can see the hair inside the nose of the main character... If 2D peaked with NeoGeo, 3D peaks here; Mario Cafe won't look significantly better than Galaxy on the dolphin emulator; GT7 car models won't be infinitely superior to GT5 car models (the good ones, the ones with tons of stupid details), this is ridiculous to think.
I don't know what you guys are expecting of the next generation of consoles, but I've reached the conclusion that polygon graphics are maximized, and there is little you can do to have a game look better than Crysis. Just as Yoshi's Island was the pinnacle of 2D and sprite gaming, I think we've reached the pinnacle of 3D (or polygonal) gaming.
Also, this generation had the Dreamcast 2. It's called the Xbox 360 (there were many articles saying this some years ago), underpowered considerably, with DVDs instead of Blu-Rays, etc, but guess what? it didn't matter, most of the third party stuff is better on that console.

So, will we get more details tonight with the live stream or will we have to wait until E3?

Not about Cafe, anyway. There might be a few tidbits in the Q&A to speculate on, but that won't be transcribed for a few more days.

I don't really get the need for Nintendo to create more IPs. For one, they've already produced more major IPs than any other company. Second, those IPs span across just about every genre already. What's the point for creating new IPs in the same genre? There isn't much of one. Third, often their already used IPs are complete reinventions of the series (see: Metroid or Excite). Fourth, in some opinion, their existing IPs don't get used enough. The cry for a true console Kirby was a long one. We haven't even got a new F-Zero in 7 years, despite the last console one being what some may put amongst the greatest racers of all-time.

so you guys know for sure the one on the controller is a secondary display and not the main one ? i dont know, i think Nintendo are the kind of guys who would think its a good idea to market a console as playable without a hdtv.
having a touch screen interface on a pad would otherwise be nice, if only to give you an unlimited number of buttons\commands you can quickly find and select.
6' sounds too large for a secondary display, though; and especially for something sitting in the middle of a controller.
GT5 car models are already perfect:manueldelalas said:

Honestly, I would be so happy for a PS4/Xbox 720 with the same kind of leap we saw from PS2 -> PS3.
Crysis 2 fidelity is what I want in all my games.

I haven't read Amazing in a while, but considering what they've done to 'revitalize' the comic, I wouldn't put it pass them to say, "screw continuity, bring back brock venom for nostalgia."

We find out there's a 3rd Kirby game in development for the Wii.
I'll reserve judgment until I see the thing in action, BUT aiming with the Wiimote in RE4 was probably the most fun I've had with the Wii. If they're abandoning an on-screen pointer + motion controls for a touchscreen I'm going to be very disappointed. Fiddling with an analog stick to shoot zombies in the face isn't as satisfying.

You're better off using a Mobility 5770 as that is the same chip but has access to GDDR5 memory (which Cafe will). Despite only drawing 30w, its still a good ~2-3x upgrade.

I can't be excited by new Wii releases anymore knowing that Nintendo is going to release a new HD console relatively soon.
