Yeah but with the lack of graphical innovation lately it'd be hard to differentiate and have an incentive to other than 'ok new gfx now play cod u kidz'. Nintendo could probably pull forward this gen.
"..And that's no longer an excuse!.." Until nintendo realizes that the main line hardware just got way more powerful as MS and sony announce their new consoles further on.. They will, fast forward a year or two, be the lower end platform.
it must be true! he tweeted it! regarding the controller - personally, i think it looks clunky and not something i'd want to play with. but i'll have to get my hands on it to be sure. will be strange seeing multi-platform games on a nintendo again!
Wow. If this turns out to be true, that is a colossal fuckup on Nintendo's part. some of the best possibilities involve multiple players having access to separate screens. Maybe the PR guy was just confused, and meant it's not sold as a stand-alone device.
And how many of those people were between the ages of 17-30? And how many of them will be snagged once again by the fun/novelty of another Nintendo console that is once again doing something different? It is easy to question the longevity of the Wii. But then, Nintendo just announced its successor. They weren't expecting…
Saw this on Kotaku. FAKE trailer, before anyone gets their hopes up, but I had to post it... the art looks awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-JOChBfhta4 I would give Nintendo all my money if they actually made this.
Nintendo makes games; casual, underwhelming, graphically unimpressive games. And they've been damn successful with it, so you're all worrying/bitching about something completely irrelevant to their business strategy. Considering how successful the Wii and Kinect are it's pretty clear that gimmick hardware is a safer bet…
Dreamcast wasn't helped by the Saturn, Nomad and 32X disasters before it. As far as I know, Nintendo only had one crap system in their history being the Virtual Boy... so they're not really in the same "my money anus is bleeding" situation SEGA had.
Considering the strong words Nintendo had for Apple in the past I get the feeling this is their reaction to the popularity of the iPad, iPhone (and touch based gaming in general). So instead of being revolutionary like the Wii they are now reactionary like the PS Move & Kinect, this could be the reason investors are…
Wii was the last nintendo console I'll buy, and I've owned every one of their systems up to this point. I imagine most of the additional functionality will be gimmicks tacked on to existing games. There will be a few exclusives that are neat, but ultimately not worth the cost to play and the in-ability to play next-gen…
