now i miss my N64 too

you guys are killing me

I have to see if I can find my old ebay password and spend money I should not be spending lol

I still have mine.

The only old system I kept.

My Wii crashed so before getting another one, I hooked up that bad boy and played some Conker.

Blurry as hell but still s fun as ever.

sony is all about bleeding edge. The thought of them pulling a wii seems so.... wrong.

That's only a new development with the PS3 and PSP, and is not the case with the PS, PS2, and Vita. Remember the Vita is using 2008/2009 off the shelf parts. I'm not trying to knock the system or anything, I just don't think it's an example of Sony going bleeding edge. Well maybe with that OLED screen, but that's about it.

I think if Sony is smart, they'll look to the PS and PS2 and say hmmm what made these 2 systems huge successes and the PS3 and the PSP not. Hopefully they'll realize that the PS, and PS2 were both well balanced between price and performance. Neither one was a blow your doors off bleeding edge, future proof machine. Both gave solid performance, at a fair price. That's what they need to do with the PS4.

I've said it before and I'll fucking say it again. DOWN WITH 599.99 US DOLLARS CONSOLES AND THE 10 YEAR LIFE CYCLE! I want modestly priced hardware, and 5, 6 year TOPS life cycles. I think that's what the mainstream wants as well. I really don't think the average person wants a 600 - 700 dollar console that they hold onto for 10 years.

 

[Gravijah]

if the ps4 went down the path of the vita, it would be both powerful and relatively affordable.

Great memories huh?

I need to get another N64 just for the sole purpose of finishing DK64. I'm secretly hoping for some type of remake/re-release though.

 

[guek]

those mean different things to different people though. I don't expect PS4 to cost less than $400.

 

[Anth0ny]

My launch N64 from 1996 is still connected and going strong. Currently playing Conker.

I also picked up that transparent blue controller posted above last year. So nice. N64 had the best colors ever, hands down.

 

[lordfroakie]

The fuck? 17 pages? want this thread to get closed before e3 xD

 

[shadyspace]

Down with just black and white. Down with sleek. Down with "matching my entertainment center." GIVE ME ASSORTED FUNKY COLORS OR GIVE ME DEATH.

Both those traits are proprietaries you should have.

 

[bgassassin]

Anybody know a good place to get a decent N64 controller? All of mine have "dead" analogs.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That aluminum mock up is hot. We all know they'll release multiple colours in japan and only one here

amazon!

Mind, Gamecube was magenta, not purple, if I'm not being mislead.

Indigo, not magenta. Magenta is kind of a pinkish purplish.

Magenta is much more red-ish. Magenta + Yellow = Red (in CMYK terms).

In fact:

lol, I remember when my friends would ask me, "Why did you get purple instead of black?", I would tell them, "It's NOT purple! - it's indigo!"

Ladies.....

it was purple.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I don't know where all my hardware went but I had every home console from Nintendo

I even had a spice gamecube controller I got for my black gamecube and I purchased that from nintendo.com

It sucks that I could not keep my stuff safe
I should really get myself a spice gamecube now to make me feel better but I want to pay for Xenoblade I'll have to keep myself from spending too much

I don't even have the mario twins for my 3DS yet...

 

[ffdgh]

i would kill for a dark blue wii u.

 

[Wiz]

I want a re-design as crazy as this, Nintendo.

 

[Doogdogg]

There was an old GX trailer showing a Lightning Cylinder stage. That might've turn into Fire Zone. But it looks like a ton of fun to play in. Bring back F-Zero.

 

[boiled goose]

I want a re-design as crazy as this, Nintendo.

wow that is ugly.

I wish Wii U ends up looking a bit different thought.

Right now it looks like a Wii dev kit.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want something that has glowing led lights and is shiny

 

[ffdgh]

what if it shaped like a triangle?

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I want something that has glowing led lights and is shiny

now imagine that it went left to right and back to left again and for some reason kept calling you Michael.

 

[bgassassin]

amazon!

When I looked a long time ago I was concerned at how cheap the ones I found looked. I'll try again sometime.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

they should just go for another cube form factor but this time a perfect cube with a led nintendo logo on it

 

[BY2K]

The GC was purple, for God sake!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

What if the final version of the console is shaped like Iwata's bangs???

 

[Wiz]

wow that is ugly.

I'll take anything besides what we have now, it's waaay too similar to Wii.

 

[HylianTom]

Red kinda fits. It's the color of Mario, and of their logo.

All of this talk is making me hope against hope for a redesign of the U.

And purple would be great to see come back.

 

[lenovox1]

Red kinda fits. It's the color of Mario, and of their logo. . .

Nintendo's official logo changed from red to gray years ago.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

what about the gamecube start up? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS8R9RjZ57E

I am looking for that spininning cube menu too

why is Nintendo lazy now these were fun but I guess it masked loadtimes?

don't tell me this in HD would not be so sexy if it used lights and color changing as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUHJUJkbv-k

True, but I still think of "Nintendo red." *shrug*

Just have the huge Mario face ala Mario 64 that you can mess with during the startup.

 

[Error Macro]

:-O

This should be the official color.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

:-O

This should be the official color.

that is less a color than it is a gradient of many colors

 

[gashikunFLCL]

I don't really have any problem with the color of the Wii U, but I so want that cobalt blue 3DS Nintendo is using for Fire Emblem.

 

[Snakeyes]

I love this Dreamcast 2 concept.

It would be nice if the Wii U had a similar look. In fact, the Wii should take as much stuff from the DC as possible except the poor sales.

 

[BY2K]

:-O

This should be the official color.

Dat DPI.

How can anybody say that screen isn't beautiful to look at!?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Ecstasy and pacifiers packed in???

might as well go for a bigger Apple TV puck look

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol wtf at that dreamcast 2, amazing.

 

[Snakeyes]

Not gamey enough

 

[HylianTom]

The folks who did the artwork for the Lanyru Mining Facility in Skyward Sword should do the artistic work for the console. I loved that colorful, playful geometric design.

I would love for the Wii U to have a little opening animation like the gamecube did. Thats probably one of the most memorable aspects of the console.

Sexy.
It already has the screen on the controller so why not.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

How can anybody say that screen isn't beautiful to look at!?

speaking of that stupid thread what if Nintendo upped the DPI even more or change the screen size? Can they do that without affecting games that have already been in development?

I'm just thinking its a year later and prices on these elements must have gone down by now well at least it would mean cheaper uPads to keep the same tech

 

[herzogzwei1989]

IdeaMan (or anyone) any more clues about the GPU?

They would have to make it a resolution that would scale easily.
So the next step would be making it a 720p screen... which probably isn't happening.

It goes WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol remember this pic

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I think the WiiU may just shock us :3

I hope anyway, I don't think we will see the same hardware we saw last E3

as long as they don't change too much of it I don't want to find out they added 3D to play 3DS games because I cannot see 3D :| so no 3DS player for me

 

[herzogzwei1989]

It goes WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Heh ^__^

 

[Cookychan]

I was really hoping when you did everything in Lanayru the whole thing would time-shift, that art and colorful-ness is eye-sex.

Doesn't it have 3D functionality built in?
