And yet they decide to not have a press conference for the second year in a row?
I don't understand how this can be true.

i just don't think the company cares about putting on a show after E3 2012. who can blame them, they really showed Nintendo isn't on par with the showmanship that MS and Sony do. Nintendo probably figures they can deliver a coherent and timely message without all the awkwardness of a live stage presentation by having their online direct.
Nintendo not holding a live press conference has nothing to do with confidence.
It has everything to do with how Nintendo wants their message delivered.
This is what people don't get about what Nintendo is doing at E3.
This will hurt them. Very bad move IMO.
If they were doing new hardware, they would have done a full press conference I figure.
I'm not assuming his statement was confirmation of a new 3DS, Wii U, or some new console. He was just saying new hardware. That would be some sort of QoL device, or a new controller, or something totally different; it's not really relevant what the hardware is. It's the statement that hardware was called "absolute," but is now evidently not actually reliable.
It may well have been a conversation, and that's fine. However, the statement, "They're absolutely going to show new hardware this year," isn't an argument, and it certainly doesn't sound like there's any uncertainty in it. If you believe in context this still should have been understood as speculation, that's fine. However, it's difficult to imagine a more certain statement than, "They're absolutely going to show new hardware this year." I don't think you can blame people for taking a statement like that and running with it.
Is it really related to the fusion rumor..? -_-
Whoa, guys, more fuel for the fire! Check out these totally real Nintendo Fusion specs that were definitely leaked by a real Nintendo engineer onto Bubblews and not hastily drawn by me on a piece of notebook paper just now.
Exciting stuff, can't wait to see how it all pans out at E3.
I want Nintendo to ride out the Wii U for 3-4 years until technology has evolved enough and then release a 3DS successor that has essentially Wii U pro internals but in a Vita like form factor.

I doubt a new Wii U remodel. This is releasing just days before E3-
If there was gonna be a Wii U price drop or re design Nintendo would have never showed this all new MK8 bundle.

I don't blame anyone for running with it, but omitting that context from the story is pretty shady. Again, I get it. But I'm here to tell you the discussion wasn't as simple as "this is for real, guys!"
Wait, what? Isn't Peer Schneider one of the founders of IGN? or at least the boss? Why wouldn't his website report this if he think that "They are absolutely going to show new hardware this year" and that there is "there is no doubt in my mind".
Fishy.
Of course, it's a +1 on the doomed meter.A fake rumor will hurt them?

It's happening!
The only reason I'd believe this could even possibly be a WiiU successor is because I know my luck, and it would be fucking hilarious if my re-refurbed refurb WiiU finally gets back to me from Nintendo right as they announce a new console.

Fishy.
Here's what will happen:
Wii U rebranded to "Wii 2"
Nothing else changes
Sales increase tenfold
Exactly. This is why it's important for Nintendo to unify handheld and console games that can be played by both devices (even if graphical fidelity is sacrificed). Much like the iPhone and iPad autonomy.The market can not support individual Iterarions of each Nintendo franchise anymore. They simply can not develop two different Mario Karts every generation anymore. Especially when the console space is shrinking and getting closer to diminishing returns.
It makes sense to launch console and portable machines that play the same software. How big would the IPad / Apple TV market be if it required individual software skus for each.
It really should be a clear decision at this point. Especially with a new platform existing parallel.
People, please, remember. Theres not going to be a redesigned wiiu with a different "box" (the console) or without the gamepad. WHY!? Because nintendo has millions of unsold wiius... We know that since a lot ago.
(we didnt knew numbers, but we knew that the amount of cash that they had, and still have, in "inventory" was crazy)
Iwata said in spring 2014 will be the year to milk the 3DS. This is the year to get the money back. You don´t do this by announcing a successor.
WiiU, quickest EoL ever?
Holy crap, I remember the other one where DK disappears behind the logo but this, lol.
