NB is going to try and revive Tales in the West. I think is F and ToA sell well, we could see more localizations. Dunno if F will get announced for Cafe, though. I mean, it is scheduled for next year and all.

They have been horribly hush hush about the platform, though. I'd say a release on 360, PS3 and Cafe is most likely.

I just hope Nintendo doesn't waste too much time announcing games like Sonic Generations, Dragon's Dogma and other obvious HD multiplatform games. But then again, it's hard to get third-party exclusives nowadays...AceBandage said:

And more games than that were playable in their booth, like the Sonic game and I think Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.AceBandage said:

Keep in mind that EAD Tokyo isn't a team. It is a department. Within the department the proposal is to have different groups. The question is how fast have they been adding staff since the initial 40 man conception in 2003?
Last we knew in 2010, there were two groups in EAD Tokyo. Each producer working on a separate project. With Mario 3DS being done with one team, we have to ponder how much resources are left for the other half on whatever game they are working on.
With Mario 3DS. The team revealed they spent a lot of time during SMG2 creating a level creator tool that even designers could use to make levels. If this was ported alongside the engine, the development of the game may have been very smooth. I still feel we will end up seeing it Spring 2012.

Interesting how the name "Nintendo Feel" is more credible to them than "Nintendo Stream." Unless that touch-screen is haptic, like the Feel rumor suggested (which I find very doubtful), there's no way they're calling it Feel. Between those two, Stream is definitely more appropriate. Even if I don't like the urine theme.

Their E3 site's background along with the European invitations has a stream like design.Lupin the Wolf said:

Personally, I like "Current" most out of all the rumored names we've seen.

If they call it Current, then the main console can be Alternating Current and the handheld can be Direct Current.

I made the same observation about their press invite backgrounds.
Something we (and Nintendo) need to think about is "are these names going to be attractive to consumers?" Will gamers in love with their EX-BOX THREE SIXTY want to migrate to "Ahhhh, the Stream." Or PLAY-STAY-SHUN THREE players migrate to "Mmmm....Current." Nintendo's possible names are very soft and smooth, almost fat-free frozen yogurt and yoga-like (I thinking specifically of that one logo someone did where the S was a divider). The current systems are syllable-heavy and kind of abrasive. They both require acronyms and abbreviations like "360" and "PS3." Wii, Stream, and Current all kind of sound passive and easy-going, but also don't need abbreviation. So, they will probably appeal to the masses, but will the platform appeal to the "hardcore" gamer besides Nintendo faithful? I dunno, I think people might've been turned off by "Wii." Even though the system is cool to play and experience for the first time, I think everyone was turned off by that name. I hope Nintendo doesn't pick something that's going to turn people off, although I can't say "Stream" or "Current" are necessarily "weird" enough to do that.
antonz: We also haven't seen the controller or system itself yet, but we had seen Wii as "Revolution" and the controller by the time "Wii" was named.

If we get the Nintendo Current, then Sony can release the Playstation Next and that will sound way more advanced.
Lupin the Wolf said:
You over-thinking this way too much. Playstation is a horrible name. Play Station? If Nintendo came out with a new system that used that name, it'd be ridiculed as kiddie. In fact, Sony was heavily debating changing the name for the US release for this very reason. They didn't want the kiddie stigma that the name suggested. Play Station is from the old days of Game Boy. Pretty much any name becomes mainstream and acceptable if the games make it a success.

Stream would be such a conventional name to follow Wii.

I have this strange feeling it will be called Nintendo Feel and it will have haptic tech on the touchscreen. 3 more days...3 more days, etc.

Presenting the Nintendo Yuu! This system is all about Yuu: Yuu get your own view of the action, Yuu get your own menus, Yuu get your own screen! Yuu have all the fun, and Yuu don't need to give it up so someone else can use the TV.

Hmmm.. those are a bit more of a stretch though - the name has no temporal connotations.
Also, as it's *likely* called Stream, you should get yourself copyright on your stream slurs right now, get rich in a few years.

I don't know, "Stream" just sounds too...prosaic. I picture a peaceful forest stream with chirping birds and rustling leaves. "Current" has more of an edge to it. Streaming is kind of a buzz word right now, and it might sound outdated in a few years without even resorting to cheap puns. It's like if the Wii had been called the "Nintendo 2.0" in order to ride on the buzz around web 2.0.

For a second, I thought that was Reggie's face in the background.
Until the recent wave of rumors, I was figuring they'd go with "Wii Too." But, in retrospect, they haven't carried a name over since Super Famicom, and even then it was changed: "Family Computer" to "Super Famicom," not "Super Family Computer."
