you are asking an honest question to someone who tries to trollSeda said:If this is referencing the Wii, didn't SMG2, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Metroid all come out last year, with Skyword Sword on the horizon? Are there other franchises you want to see more?
Honest question, I'm not trying to be snarky.
well n64 wasnt really a money maker for nintendo as nintendo wii wasGvaz said:The wii was a huge disappointment for me. I hope they just stop and make an N64 2 with the best graphics and no waggle controls. It was interesting for a time, but I'm sick of it now and it doesn't bring anything interesting to the table, imo.
You =/= the gaming world.Alienshogun said:Just because they are making money doesn't mean they are relevant to the gaming world anymore, the "meat" of the gaming world anyway. Their main contribution will be motion gaming which may change how FPS are played, that's it.
Nintendo needs to step it up, or step aside.
Yeah, regardless of whether GAF likes it or not, I doubt Nintendo would go forward with a new generation without a new gimmick that isn't just upping the internal specs. It won't sell to the wider userbase they have built up, and taking their bets on the technophile demographic is extremely risky considering Sony and MS would easily outclass them.marc^o^ said:Wii2 is unnecessary, there's no real market for it.
I'd rather have Nintendo studios focus on 3DS. I want Mario Galaxy 3DS, a brand new cell shaded Zelda, Pikmin, wave race, F-Zero, wario ware, new IPs... A big title each month, for years to come.
ShockingAlberto said:Yes
I am sure Nintendo is going to follow the advice of people telling them to make an N64-2.

If that's the case, they're simply going to improve the Wii. There is absolutely no way that they will not change their console in 9 years.neo2046 said:posted?

confused said:Oh fuck. Thank god I already stepped out of console-gaming. Ten year generations suck donkey ass. So by the time the next Nintendo console comes out we'll be playing on 15 year old hardware ? GG Nintendo.

It's in no way definitive, but it will give you a ballpark. I think that ballpark is $30-40 for a 10x at the end of next year. No video playback for the Nintendo system, but I wouldn't put a XBOX 1 style remote control dongle past them.

It's probably not a metric that people outside Nintendo's internal dev teams would have much influence on. They've explained it in past Iwata Asks.McHuj said:I'm confused. Is it coming out this year then?

Plinko said:My guess is that seven to ten-year generations will now be the norm. We've finally hit the point where, in the general gaming market (i.e., NOT GAF), the differences in graphics between consoles released 5 years apart will be negligible enough to not matter to the vast majority of people who buy the consoles.
A seven to ten-year wait allows for a large enough "jump" in graphics/technology to make the systems actually seem worth it.

RedSwirl said:More importantly, it gives the consoles enough time to hit mass-market price and thrive there for a while, and developers more time to master the hardware.
I'd say Nintendo kept the Wii going for 2 years then blew it's load at the end of the second year. The first two years saw a million selling game nearly every month. I'm not going to turn this into list warz or whatever but they supported it pretty well. Holidays 2008/2009 is where they messed up. 2010 was great software wise too though. We'll see how 2011 goes. So far it isn't looking good but if I get Zelda and Pikmin, I'll be satisified. I have other things I'm interested in on 3DS and 360.The Abominable Snowman said:If it doesn't offer anything amazing or is cheap, i'll probably skip it.

Someone better tell Sony before it's too late.Doc Holliday said:That would make an announcement long overdue. Also When your handheld system is as good if not better hardware wise than your home console you know something is wrong.
The mobile market is much more strategic.GrotesqueBeauty said:Anything Nintendo says now is all smoke and mirrors and PR babble. I've maintained that the Wii successor will come out holiday 2012 for a few years now, and I'm sticking to that. Their unwillingness to be proactive with price cuts, dry spells, and lack of popular budget titles (when the HD systems are slowly amassing dozens) already crippled the momentum Wii had early on, and mixed with the Wii's lack of future proofing (itty bitty internal memory, no HD capabilities) Nintendo's hand is going to be forced in the next couple years.
ShockingAlberto said:Someone better tell Sony before it's too late.
marc^o^ said:The mobile market is much more strategic.
They can still sell wii to satisfying level by decreasing the price and going to growth markets.
Nintendo needs focus. They need to make 3DS a huge success before thinking of expanding this success to a new home console. And that's exactly what they say they will do.
Vinci said:Yeah, they're focusing pretty heavily on the 3DS (and they should). We won't see a new console from Nintendo for at least another two years.
Eteric Rice said:Nintendo is also expanding, though. So they might be able to work on both now.
Not sure if serious, as you seem to have missed both the point and the facts.Rham said:No in this case it would be like the NGP being as powerful as the PS2, since GAMECUBE = Wii.
