Yeah if Retro has something new then I'll be all up in that. I hope they get to do their own IP.

magus · « **Reply #841 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:29:35 PM »

the 3DS is already 250$,i think the console would be at least 300$?

The real question is what type of screen it is + what resolution(s) does the screen support.

partly

the real question is what (if anything) the controller can do away from the base-station by a significant amount . If this thing is streaming the games to your machine, then it's going to be a "take it on a journey somewhere and play when you get to a place with wifi whilst your base station is on back home" and it -might- play some smaller games in the meantime that use what ever (assumedly small) processing power the machine has got when you are out of online range.

$250 for the basestation and one controller , $150 for a controller.

Wouldnt that give too much lag? I can understand if it was in your home but if it had to send data to elsewhere...

naff · « **Reply #843 on:** June 03, 2011, 07:47:40 PM »

My bet is definitely on home streaming only. Nintendo streaming from home console to your portable over teh internetz

That's a pretty heavy task to ask. Sending decent resolution stream along with game input back and forth over the internet is taxing. It's like Onlive except with a shitty Nintendo console as the server and a ninfags bandwidth. Never gonna happen

By spreading the cost of the system to the controllers, you can make the hardware look cheap to trap people as they buy it and then realize "oh shit, it's going to cost me $100+ an extra controller".

$150 for a controller?!

$150 for controller is stupid, i dont understand why they would do it either.

I wonder if this is Nintendo's way of getting into a true app market? Use your controller with the base station for traditional games, use it on the go for app type games. Would explain the lack of software for 3DS and the existence of an expensive controller.

No clue what the context of that picture is, but it would be weird if New Super Mario Bros 2 (Wii, and/or 3DS) was announced. Game sold like crazy and didn't seem like a lot of money or effort went into making it.

copy-paste from gaf

I decided to look at every single registered domain that started with "nintendo". After five minutes of extensive research, I can say with almost 100% certainty that Nintendo's console will be called the Beem.

Just look at the evidence:

NINTENDOBEEM.COM
- Registered on May 24, 2011 through the same company that registered NINTENDOWII.COM and NINTENDO3DS.COM. This was registered nearly a year before any of the next-gen speculation began.

NINTENDOBEEEM.COM
NINTENDOBEAM.COM
- Registered on May 28, 2011 through two differed registrars. This obviously isn't just a coincidence.

NINTENDOBEEMSTORE.COM
NINTENDOBEEMSHOP.COM
NINTENDOBEEMGAMES.COM
- All registered on June 1, 2011.

Also, the domain BEEM.COM was apparently purchased on January 31 for $136,000. Nobody's going to drop that kind of money on a domain name unless they have a vested interest in the name.

When you look at the evidence, Beem is the only name tha really seems to make sense.

Move over here comes the Beem Beem

Another rumor,coming from Game Informer

Quote

Of course, it's unlikely we'll know for sure until Tuesday morning's Nintendo press briefing. Even so, new variations are still emerging on the name even this late in the process. The most recent reports Game Informer is hearing, just two days before the show? It's possible the final name will be just a single word that everyone is already familiar with.

Nintendo.

The king is back

Beem / Cafe is making this sound like this is something being "served"/"beamed" to your "~~plate~~controller"

If this ends up being "Play X360 standard games!*

* - only on our shitty ass small controllers**

** - within the confines of your own home

then i will piss myself laughing at Nintendo throwing themselves under the celestial train of the great gaming god.

Also - Beem / Transfarring - Japanese people : if a word already exists, it's okay to use it in most cases.

Dont lie you only play your handhelds inside the home.

If the 6" screen on the controller is a haptic touch screen then I am definitely interested.

haptics is literally the only thing that could make me excited about the Nintendo Nintendo

etiolate · « **Reply #882 on:** June 06, 2011, 12:08:21 AM »

The only point of a portable is to play it on the go, outside. At least for me. I still don't see any good coming from Nintendo pushing a concept that hasn't gone much anywhere after multiple attempts (separate screens). I had high hopes for some clever DS stuff, but devs are kind of scared of risks. N should open themselves up to indies more.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #883 on:** June 06, 2011, 12:17:16 AM »

it's not haptic, and it will not stream your games to you over the internet.

If the Cafe's controller is nothing more than a standard controller with a middling quality 6'' touchscreen in the middle of it, what would be a reasonable prediction for its price?

Nintendo is stuck in 2002, touch-screens were a gimmick back then.

By streaming video to the controller, gamers will be uninterrupted by their parents asking to use the television during the evening.

(local multiplayer could be awesome, but that does seem to be too narrow to be the focus)

I wonder if it can operate without base station?

They could just make it compatible with Wii controllers. Adding the small port for the beacon bar would be nothing compared to all that was included in the Wii to make it backwards compatible with the Gamecube.
