Wii 2 (Project Cafe) may not have a hard drive. Just 8gb of Flash memory

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]ridiculous controller? It's basically a gamecube pad with a touch screen. Nothing too out there (according to the rumors anyway)Shinobishyguy

Having to focus on two some separate screens seems kind of ridiculous, not to mention how much more expensive it will probably be.

There's a difference between a top and bottom screen the same sizea half inch from each other, anda smalltouch screen on the controller and a hugeTV a few feet away. And again, it would be very expensive to replace.

the screen on the controller is likely to just be for the menu screen, where you can choose items and such, and not have to focus on the tv at the same time.

and, it's supposed to be like the dreamcast vmu - i.e. removeable.

That's a terrible analogy. The DS screens are literally connected right to each other. A TV screen and a controller are not.

That's an even bigger waste, a screen just for menus...:lol:

well, I really don't know, I know that's going to be a feature but I don't know what else.

I'm sure it'll be like magic, this is nintendo.

Hell Im fone with 2 GB memory on my 360 and I dont think Ive used more than 3 GBs on my PS3. Sounds like more than enough.

I think it just sounds like another gimmick, like the useless motion controls; first there was useless motion controls, then bad, eye-hurting 3D, now there's expensive, useless screens on controllers. Expect another huge wave of shovelware utilizing just this gimmick.

Why do people pretend rumors are reality?

Jelley0

I don't know. I'm not sure if its true. People should be careful about rumors, not all rumors are true.

I'll buy one either way because of the games & I know how reliable the hardware is, but with rumours of a screen in the middle of the screen, some 'feel' technology in the controller & only a 8GB flash drive, I'm worried. However it seems like its a step up from the Wii either way for the core audiences & I've enjoyed the Wii a lot despite hating motion controls.

most likely the only wii games you've played are games like cooking mama. and I'd wager you haven't even seen the 3ds in person yet, and lastly you have no idea what the price of these controllers will be. what about rumble? was that a useless gimmick? you know you have that because of nintendo right? what about analouge control? yep, nintendo.

hofuldig

Yeah. GT5 alone takes up 10GB. Even the 1st patch for that game was another 1GB on top of the install!!!!

So many games have mandatory installs over 3GB though that it's impossible to believe you could stay under 3GB. Nevermind the fact that many of the demos and downloadable games are at least 1 or 2GB each, patches can be 1GB+. There's literally NO WAY you can have a PS3 and not use 3GB, unless of course you have no games and don't hook it up to the internet...

[QUOTE="StealthMonkey4"]

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]even so there' still a benefit to having a second screen to display maps and inventories without having to pause the game. Plus it opens up alot of control possibilities.theuncharted34

No, I've played plenty of games on the Wii, however a lot of games make unnecessary use of motion controls and ends up dragging the game down. I have played the 3DS in person, it hurt my eyes after just a few minutes, and I don't, but if they have touch screens on them I'd imagine thye'd be more expensive than a standard controller. Rumble is a useless gimmick, I always turn it off, dual analog isn't.Not thateither of those matter to the conversation anyways, they may have been innovative, but as of recently Nintendo seems like they just dishing out lamegimmicks to draw attention of casuals.

Well I guess that means that newer downloadable games won't be put on the wii. That's kind of dissapointing.

Tbh I don't know what people expect, their last hardware release barely has the processing power of the Wii, i wouldn't be suprised if this is a complete step backwards in order to somehow appeal to nostalgic gimmicks

It's not an "I hate Nintendo" thread, it's just a thread about a terrible design choice Nintendo made and people having justified anger over it.

Again, it's been proven with the DS that having a touchscreen along with buttons is a boon to many different types of games.

It's a different story for consoles though, having a small screen on the controller and having a huge TV a few feet away just sounds frustrating and pointless more than anything. Nintendo needs to stop trying to "innovate" and actually get some good games and features on their consoles.

So just because it's a rumor we can't have a thread about it? The rumor sounds pretty likely TBH, the people here are giving there responses to it as if Nintendo actually did this. We know it's a rumor...

That should be plenty just for games right? You know assuming you don't download any DL games or whatever. >_>

I might've typed that because I was just recently talking about the touchscreen on the controller, I guess I misspoke, I am aware that is a rumor though...

I hope this isnt true HDD should be standard by now especially in the next gen of consoles

[QUOTE="22Toothpicks"]

[QUOTE="Dibdibdobdobo"]wow... a new "I hate nintendo" thread. How awesome....Dibdibdobdobo

It wouldn't be much of a thread if everyone just stated that it was a rumor, we are stating what our opinions would be if it did actually happen.

bro, this is system wars.

you cant deny that of late Nintendo have made there systems gimmiky to appeal to a different set of fans, highly dropping the ball with a lot of features the other companies include as standard. this thread is about a rumour but with Nintendos history there is a good reason to believe something like this may be true.

I was a hardcore sheep and would argue for Nintendo all the way up to I was around 24y/o with my peers until I grew out of that, it just feels like Nintendo is pushing me away with not listening to its hardcore fanbase and what WE actual want in a system.

I don't get what you're trying to say here, I've responded to all your points and debunked all of them, yet you act like I'm an idiot and that I have no idea what I'm talking about.:lol:

While this may be bad for downloadable stuff, I actually support that decision if it's true. Consoles are not PCs and I don't want to install games on hard drives, download patches and crap like that. Consoles were "plug & play" in the past and it should remain so imo. Unless you really want gimped PCs instead of game consoles.
