Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
Has you Wii been sitting alone in the dust? Mine sure has, and it's about time something new happens: Project Cafe (i.e. Wii 2...?)
Hope this console can make me some expresso in the morning. |

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
I doubt it. It's Nintendo. They can make ridiculous ideas play decently.
I'm interested to see how this will end up and all though. EDIT: Except Virtual Boy. But I don't count that.

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
That is really a sad comment. They seem to be making lots of money off of Nintendo products, whether they are worth it or not. They could care less if a game is "good" as long as it makes money. There's a difference between failing at making a good game and failing at selling pathetically addictive games. As long as they keep making money, they honestly don't care about the quality of their games. Not to say they're bad, but the quality of any game isn't in question unless they're losing sales, which they're not.
Anyway, the screen on the controller sounds crazy. It seems like it could be a bad thing. And a controller+screen=potential room to start hacking the controller like crazy. It's much easier to replace a controller than an entire console, so the opportunity for hackers to start modding stuff is going to rise quickly. But knowing nintendo they take any project that seems shaky and turn it into something you know will be good. I'm definitely on the fence here, we'll see what Nintendo has in store. |

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
The greatest thing about Nintendo is that the other companies are going to want to copy it. They sure know their marketing audience.

Sound exciting. They're going to have a lot of work cut out for them if they plan to get into the hardcore scene.

I'm not looking forward to a touch screen controller.

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
I second the espresso notion.
you gotta respect Nintendo's desire to do something really different in the hardware department. I get the feeling this stuff will make the good third-party devs shy away again, though. I'm gonna hold off on buying an 8th-gen console until they've been out for at least a couple years and see how everything turns out. |

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
I wonder if they're making a move too early. This generation of consoles has a longer life cycle, and even if the new system is more powerful than the PS3 and 360, I'm sure once Sony and Microsoft unveil their new consoles, the new Nintendo one will go back to being the runt. Still, we don't have enough details so it's had to say atm.

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
Definitely.
I'll probably see how it does too. I can't stand when a console comes out and a year later it comes out slim, faster, a cooler color, and at a lower price. It's pretty annoying, I don't mind waiting on this one. |

This sounds like a cool idea, but... I dunno. We'll see how everything turns out, I guess.

Re: Nintendo going to unveil ANOTHER new console (not 3DS)
1. I don't know how to troll.
2. Not a fan of the Wii in any way. Leave motion gaming to rhythm games. Maybe Zelda is fine but otherwise no. The 3DS is ok, but not OMFG WTF impressive either. 3D is still worlds away from being any good. I think the "hardcore" market right now is computer gaming, so good luck keeping up with SC2, which pretty much took over Korea, so unless this console is capable of taking over a country... |
