Who would have guessed that Nintendo is, once again, half a decade behind the technological curve. Maybe Nintendo's 2017 console will allow you to download content larger than 100 megs.

In Nintendo's defense they probably had a robust online service but got cold feet when they found out what happened to Sony so they scaled it back and made you never want to use your machine online.

I know how our plan will be but it is top secret and I will be sucked if I speak about it now.

Wii Sports is a standalone game now....for $20

Konami's conference can't be as good as last year's. They have become self-aware. 2010's was an anomaly.

I doubt you'll miss much. Sony's conferences are always so dull with the rare exception of the hilarious one where they revealed the PS3 price and what-not

but even that had a good solid hour of kaz's terribad powerpoints

yea last e3 was a boring and dull FPS fest and i don't think it's going to be different this year (barring some crazy NGP announcement)

still i love e3,it's like christmas only santa claus it's an asshat that shout announcement and everytime he spouts one instead of happy kids you have people randomly going "WOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

I had the nerdiest dream I think I've ever had last night

I was watching Nintendo's conference when they announced Stream, and they should a bunch of videos for new games

List of games:
-HD Donkey Kong made by Retro again, sequel to Returns, only you played with Donkey Kong and the chick kong this time. looked awesome
-a 3D Yoshi's Island. Played something like Galaxy, but the game was entirely in pastels and shit
-Brand new Zelda game that explored the Gerudo. You played as Link from Ocarina of Time, after Majora's Mask and as an adult, and he went into Gerudo desert to uncover the mysteries of Ganondorf. In doing so he became familiar with the Gerudo's struggles, their culture, their history, and their need for a hero as well. I want this fucking game.
-A new Mario Galaxy where Mario could fly at lightning speeds
-a new Capcom vs. Marvel

I woke up sad

We have been hearing this rumor for about two weeks now, but we had difficultly verifying it until now.The Taiwan Economic News has confirmed that Hon Hai Precision Industry Co reportedly has an exclusive contract to build the Wii2 for Nintendo.

Our sources are also saying that Hon Hai will be able to start delivering the first units to Nintendo in October, but it is unclear what the run rate will be once the building is on the way. Whispers suggest that Nintendo will start ramping up production for an expected launch in North America slated for next year. Despite some suggesting a holiday launch for Nintendo yet this year, we just don’t hear it that way.

With the news from Taiwan comes word that the MSRP of the Wii2 will be an estimated $350 to $450.This number is a bit shocking for Nintendo, but actually not unexpected given the hardware that the Wii2 will be using. While others continue to report that the Wii2 will not be HD, the information we have still indicates that the console will use a modified GPU from the ATI R700 family and it will support 1080 HD.

$350 to $450?

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #687 on:** May 05, 2011, 01:13:10 PM »

Sub-400 would actually be the sweet spot for something that can bench press two PS360 or three in the public's opinion. I mean, let's face it, Nintendo would never price it in the $200 range, as that would make the 3DS' price a lot worse that it is now.

$350 would make sense considering what we keep hearing might end up being true:
-High-end ATI R700 GPU, outperforming the Ps3 and 360
-1080P support
-Inclusion of tablet controller in the box.

It's not that hard to believe.

magus · « **Reply #689 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:40:21 PM »

i don't think it's that hard to believe either but why you would spend 350$ to play ubi ports?

8gb is hardly surprising. I always knew they would never go with a harddrive, but rather a smaller flash memory that would be supplemented by sd cards. Seriously, folks. LOOK. AT. THE. 3DS. if you want all the indications of what the next wii will be like. There will still be a friend code too, mark my words.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #698 on:** May 05, 2011, 07:55:30 PM »

Its not hard. Nintendo strives to
*make profitable hardware
*make reliable hardware
*make things accessible

Harddrives are relatively fragile compared to solid state media and managing them isn't something I imagine Nintendo wants its customers doing. At least not after the fridge fiasco.

naff · « **Reply #699 on:** May 05, 2011, 08:22:38 PM »

Going SSD would be another dumb Nintendo move as far as I'm concerned, like using cartridges with N64 or having the GC look like a 10 yr olds lunchbox. It goes against the grain of what's expected with highly questionable benefits.

Making Project Café versions of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games won't be a stretch, according to comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot.

Speaking at an investor call today, Guillemot revealed that his teams will be able to utilise a lot of the work done on titles for the current HD consoles when developing for Nintendo's new platform.

"The platform Nintendo is coming with is really a fantastic platform. We think it will be extremely successful," he stated.

"What we see is that we will be able to leverage a lot of the work we do for Xbox 360 and PS3 while we create games for the platform.

"So we will not have to redo completely the games that we create. We'll be able to use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms."

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-12-ubi-to-leverage-360-ps3-work-for-cafe

One of the earlier rumors said "Ubisoft is busy porting 360 games to Cafe,no improvements allowed"...hehehe
Good thing for ninthings,imagine if they ported inferior PS3 verisons

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #702 on:** May 12, 2011, 02:43:22 PM »

Well if the rumors are correct, the architecture is much like the 360s, so I'd imagine that they'd be porting from the 360. This is coming from someone who's entirely ignorant to how ports work, so I don't know.

Diunx · « **Reply #703 on:** May 12, 2011, 02:44:22 PM »

At least Nintendo and Ubisoft had the decency of letting us know that this will be a portfest before revealing the console.

IGN has posted more rumors,building a Cafe comparable(lol) PC.Second part is more interesting

Quote

Our system comprises of the following:

* CPU: 3.2GHz Triple Core AMD Athlon II X3 450
* GPU: XFX Radeon HD 4850 GPU with 1GBs of VRAM
* Motherboard: BIOSTAR A780L3L Micro ATX
* RAM: 2GBs of Kingston DDR3
* Power Supply: Rosewill RV350 ATX 1.3
* Hard Drive: 80GB WD Caviar Blue 7200RPM

Quote

Though the parts we used are comparable, our sources say there will be some significant variation in the final product. For one, the CPU is likely to be clocked above 3.2GHz and the GPU will feature a tweaked design but a similar speed to the HD 4850 we used. Most importantly, the Wii 2/Project Caf�'s total RAM is likely to be 1GB, but we added an extra GB to offset the Windows 7 OS, which is pretty taxing otherwise.
