As long as it has good games, then I'm in. It seems they've learned from their mistakes with the Wii and will be making a competent full-spectrum console this next generation.[cleft=darkslategray][/cleft][cright=black][/cright][pleft=white][/pleft][dl=black][/dl]

It wasn't a mistake with the Wii. It was just about their only option.

They tried to make powerhouse machines the two previous generations. Nintendo 64 and Gamecube were both very powerful machines for their time, but they both got utterly destroyed by PS1 and PS2 respectively.

Nintendo as a brand was very weak before the Wii/DS came out, even if they were still profitable.

If Nintendo had made a console that was just like PS3 and 360 (which are basically the same fucking console), it probably wouldn't even have gotten a second look from most people.

From IGN's Podcast:
- should be significantly more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3
- information is coming directly from people who are developing games for the system
- they say the system does exist, and the information is not rumor but unverified
- real controller is comparable to “an iPad stuck in the middle of a Dreamcast controller.”
- six-inch touchscreen in-between the dual analog sticks and triggers
- capacitative screen that is unlikely to support multi-touch
- system will supposedly be “announced in some manner before E3”
- upcoming shareholder meeting on April 26th is the most logical date
- not sure they believe the Rockstar/GTAV rumor
- may see release in first or second quarter of 2012, but late 2012 still seems more likely
- "…developers with kits are saying the controller looks like a standard controller but with an LCD and touch screen fused in the middle"
- "…this would be ideal for co-op types of games where the experienced player could be playing on the big screen, while your Dad or little brother who suck, can play co-op with some smaller type of role being played on a separate controller on the little screen."

The Wii was a mistake. They started out going full-on trying to appeal to the non-gaming casuals, only to have them move onto Kinect and forget about WiiSports and _Fit after a while... then coming back to the crowd that always supported them and producing games, gamers want to play.

And as the Wii has proven, third-party's don't want simple hardware, they want fair competition... which is why Nintendo withholding their big titles for the release of this successor will determine whether or not they jump on board or ignore it once again for all the niche developers.

Sure, the Wii made ass-tons of money... but it wasn't the fantastic gaming console this thing can be.[cleft=darkslategray][/cleft][cright=black][/cright][pleft=white][/pleft][dl=black][/dl]

I knew brad would go back to bitching about the wii

the n64 was powerful, but lacked the texture ability of the ps1, due to not using discs
the gamecube had small discs

Nintendo is the worst company in the history of gaming

Zelda Informer is reporting that Retro's new game is Eternal Darkness 2.

Still a rumor for now, but that would be all kinds of incredible.

Moar IGN podcast rumors:
- should be backwards compatible with Wiimotes
- Project Cafe controller may have some sort of gyroscopic control
- still saying the platform is significantly more powerful than 360/PS3
- Project Cafe controller with built-in screen is indeed the platform's main control scheme
- Nintendo wants to launch in Q1 or Q2 2012 if possible
- controller will most likely not be able to retain any data of its own
- for streaming game content from console to controller, there will most likely be a range for data transfer, and the system will have to be powered on
- controller's internal guts should mostly be related to the buttons and content streaming
- another statement saying that Project Cafe games will be at E3, but will most likely not be playable

Q1 or Q2 2012 now? I am assuming that's just for Japan.

Anyway, I'm pretty surprised all this stuff is leaking so early. Nintendo must be flipping shit at this predicament.

"…this would be ideal for co-op types of games where the experienced player could be playing on the big screen, while your Dad or little brother who suck, can play co-op with some smaller type of role being played on a separate controller on the little screen."

This reminds me of the GCN version of Splinter Cell. If you had a GBA and a GCN/GBA link cable, another person could use it as radar, hijack turrets with it, and even set off one of the grenade types.

I wouldn't mind seeing more of that...

Wow...even I heard that geek smack and I'm way over here in my impregnable cereal dome.

But I am willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt on whatever they are up to, they haven't let me down in a long time. Just let me finish my Wii library first dammit! (Haven't even STARTED Sin and Punishment: Star Successor)

Looking like Nintendo is going to bring a Wii remote-like motion controller AND this twin stick/eight button/touch screen thing.
