New Nintendo - N64 reborn?

I think the new Nintendo may be a lot like the N64 was in terms of tech and image. It will still be a Nintendo console but it will have the edge in terms of graphics (just like the N64 had over PS1 and Sega Saturn). The only difference will be that it won't be hard to program for and won't use cartriges (which cost the N64 good 3rd party support).

Yeah, but if they want good 3rd party support they need optical media. The 64's main problem were the carts.

The N64 wasn't hard for developers to code for, you are thinking of the SEGA Saturn. What developers disliked about the Nintendo 64 was the 64KB cap that N64cartridges had.

Not in terms of hardware ;)

Based on what?

It probably wont have the edge in terms of graphics.

Jolt_counter119

The beginning of the end of third party support? No thanks :P I'll give them a blank check and tell them to write any number they see fit if they give me something that is a SNES reborn though.

Jolt_counter119

Why not? Even if it use lower-end R700 that would still be better what current consoles have.

Wait, wasn't the PS1 more powerful than the N64? After all, N64 used cartridges while PS1 used CDs.

No, just plain no.

i think this will be like all 5 combined ,

its got the motion of the wii for casuals, its got a touchscreen as well-if th rumor is true

its got the gc controller layout ,

and itll have the graphics overhaul seen in n64 gc , and the image would mirror that of both wii and snes , awsome loads of support and i think ms or sony signed thier death bed when they went for the 10 yr life cycle because when they plan to release ps4 720 ---itll be 2-3 yrs into wii 2s life ,

what comes 2 yrs after ps4 720 you ask?

a monster by nintendo

and since this 6th unit is after a succesful unit it will most likely be a success because nintedo wont be like sony and launch a 600 dollar console ,

it'll most likely be slightly more powerful than the current competitors (ps3 and 360), but once ps4 and xbox 720 come out, it'll be obsolete in terms of hardware. dreamcast would be a more accurate comparison than N64.starwarsjunky

I don't why people keep saying this; Sega was on its last leg when it released the Dreamcast because of the failure of the Saturn while Nintendo, in terms of sales, is the winner of this gen.

The PS1's visuals were pixelated and the textures warped horribly. N64's visuals were much more smooth and didn't have warping at all. A lot of N64 games aged gracefully, wile most of the 3D games on the PS1 aged bad (graphically speaking).

I have both, and play them both anyway. So i guess the hardware in the N64 was superior.

Current. Nintendo should enjoy this graphics superiority while it lasts until the other next gen consoles release.

You say it'll be N64 like, but that's until Sony/MS release their own platforms afterwards.

I'm just hoping the price is reasonable and that the games maintain Nintendo's high standards. I'm not afraid of the second part, just the first one. :P

@ NeonNinja, your sig make me LOL.

No, the PS1 wasn't even close to the N64 in terms of power. N64 was much much more powerful, CDs have nothing to do with it.

Naw, N64 def was more powerfeul. The ps1 simply had a larger library of great games.

I have heard that it will look more like the super nintendo on the outside, but as far as inside goes, I do not knowMrBlobz

It can't be another N64 if it doesn't have a stupid controller meant for people with three hands.

n64 had the edge in graphcis to the ps1? i dont think so palcampzor

I like your posts, they are usually simple and funny. And your probably joking, but i have to tell you to simply look at the difference between the games.

PS1 - pixelated, horrible warping of the textures

N64 - smooth textures, no warping at all.

That's a clear major difference of power right there.

It wont be like the N64. In terms of power over its compitionion, sure, but in other terms, no.

Personally I dont care if it gets over shadowed by the compition in terms of graphic power whenever they launch. Just as long as I can play the games.

One big difference from the 64 is that they won't have Rare on board. Rare made the best shooters AND the best plat-formers for that system.Meinhard1

Don't need em, they have Retro ;)

New console announced? Check!

People calling it out to be false? Check!

People panicking? Check!

People in Code Red? Check!

People now calling out the new console as a failure? Check!

Folks, the eighth generation has officially begun!

Why would comparing it with the N64 be bad? The only thing Nintendo did wrong with it was to use cartridges imo.

Jolt_counter119

It without any doubts at all will have the edge in terms of graphics over 360/PS3.

The question is how long will it take the competition to catch up with next gen machines.

If import software is included I agree slightly. If I made a list of my top 100 Saturn games, I've no doubt 75 of the games would be Japan only imports.
