We still have maybe a year or so until it is released, so i think it is safe to say there may be changes to all aspects of the console.

Let's get the most obvious one out of the way. THE NAME! I'm not a massive fan of the name, i'd rather they make a name completley different from anything they previously had. Some may think that this wont happen, but due to all themisconceptions the reveal caused, such as "Is this just an add on for the Wii?" and even negative comments such as "TROLOLOLOL, what an epic fayul name, bro this is so kiddy," there is still hope for a name change. And not only that, didn't Iwata say a while back that the reason the 3DS is not selling as well as it was expected to was due to it being too similar in look and name to the current DS? So if they stand by this, they would want to make it completely different from the Wii, that means changing the name of it AND the console design.

Another thing, alot of people are saying that the circle pads should be replaced with analog thumb sticks. I for one dissagree. I think the circle pads add more of an ergonomic feel. i'd rather have them then two sticking out about an inch high, especially on a controller that big.

Now for the size of the controller, I am happy with the current size, the touch screen looks just about right to match with the lenght you would hold the controller from your body while playing, in comparison to the TV screen. A 6.2 inch screen seems perfect.

Some People are also saying that it should support multi-touch, I dissagree. Having a controller that is supossed to be used in conjunction with the TV screen will probably not even use a multi-touch function.

Anything else...

River City Ransom in the style of saints row. But make it funny. Sort of like rockstars' 'Bully,' you shouldn't be able to kill anyone, or see any blood, just knock em' out. Make it as though you're a highschool senior, and instead of trying to rescue you're girlfriend, you're trying to get laid. So it sort of follows the life of someone like Travis from 'No more heroes.'

Make missions like, having to get you're drivers licence, getting a part-time job, joining the football team, etc.

As for fighting moves, make them slightly obscure, like a 'testicle grab and squezze.' lol

If it's something we are sure of it's backwards compatibility. I personally see this new system as being 2 systems in one. One for the 'casual' market (backwards compatibility) Using the Wiimote, and another for the 'hardcore' market using the supposed new controller. Nintendo will probably release new games for the kids like 'cooking mama' or 'Excite trucks' etc. Also social games, like 'Mario party,' 'Wario ware,' and 'Dance dance revolution,' using hyped up motion controls. Also games for the Hardcore market, such as RPGs like Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. Frag heads won't be left in the dust, i'm expecting Conduit, Golden eye and CoD, only to name a few. Also, Maybe an online play of Metroid, much like Halo, I would love to see that. In terms of the new controller i'm seeing the device to incorporate a dual-axis tuning fork gyroscope, and a single-axis gyroscope which can determine rotational motion. Much like the Wii motion plus, but in controller form. Also, this touch screen, i'm imagining it to display ammo, health bars and vavious guages, maps (acting like a GPS in some games, since it will most likley have speakers on it), items, weapons, etc. Not 6.2" and HD though. Also, anyone saying that it will be just a remake of a wii, but HD, really has to think about Nintendo. They don't ever release the same thing twice, and calling it a different console. Each system came out with something new and exciting to sell. Not gimmick, but innovation. One thing i'm excited about it is in reference to the codename, "Project cafe." At first i thought this was just another codename given by someone to hype things up. But last night when i found out this "Project Cafe" was real and it was the actual codename given by Nintendo itself, got me thinking. A cafe is a social place, so this has obviously got to do with online interface. I'm seeing the new Nintendo online area being called "nintendo Cafe." But take it with a pich of salt.

[QUOTE="Captainqwark10"] Nintendo fanboy has been targeted. D-pad is debatable They were not the first to make the thumbstick they were not the first to have a wireless controller. In fact, I don't think they were the frst to do anything any Nintendo fan has said. But please continue the usual conversation, just had to get that cleared up.

First D-pad on a video game console - NES/Famicom (1983) Nintendo released their Nintendo 64 controller on June 24, 1996. The new controller included the first THUMB-operated control stick. "Video game consoles had not used wireless controllers until recently, mainly because of the difficulty involved in playing the game while keeping the infrared transmitter pointed at the console. Early wireless controllers were cumbersome and when powered on alkaline batteries, lasted only a few hours before they needed replacement. Some wireless controllers were produced by third parties, in most cases using a radio link instead of infrared. Even these were very inconsistent, and in some cases, had transmission delays, making them virtually useless. The first official wireless controller made by a first party manufacturer was the WaveBird for Nintendo Gamecube. The Wavebird changed the face of wireless technology in video game consoles. In the current generation of gaming consoles, wireless controllers have become the standard." -Wikipedia.org

[QUOTE="D4W1L4H"][QUOTE="momentum_god"]

When the next nintendo console comes out alot of people are going to be looking to upgrade since wii will be far less supportive, now when they start looking at what to upgrade to there will be two obvious choices (360 is kinda out of the running with it's crappy line up) and if Sony throws alot of good games at the ps3 at that time and starts advertising it might significantly boost ps3 sales from wii only owners

SakusEnvoy

Maybe, but pretty much every hardcore Wii gamer already has a high powered console, (PS3 - 360) I'm a Nintendo fan, and i have a PS3 and a 360. And most Nintendo fans already have at least one of these. But as soon as the new Nintendo system comes out, i'll be first in line to buy it. Probably play that more than my Wii, which will mean more than my PS3, or my practically untouched 360. (they'll be in the garage with all of my other consoles) The casual Wii owners will most likely Stick to their Wii until better game lineups come, like Zelda, Mario, Metroid, No more Heroes, etc. Then they will upgrade to a Wii2 (or SNES2). Most casual gamers aren't frag heads, and the PS3 and 360 are know to be competing with each other in the FPS margin, Nintendo changed its focus from hardcore gamers to pretty much everyone to expand its fan base (pretty smart move). And pretty much no one else is a FPS fan other than PS3 and 360 owners (the self proclaimed hardcore gamers). Plus, Nintendo will be sure to make it backwards compatible, so this means that the Wii-motes can be used with the new Nintendo system. This means no motion control fan will be left in the dust. They'll also (if they're smart, which i know they are) release new motion control games. So it'll be two consoles in one. But seriously, If MS and Sony Don't release their systems within a year after Nintendo have, it'll be pretty suicidal. If they wait 2-3 years, Nintendo will already have pretty amazing game lineups from third party support, let alone price drops. Current 360 and PS3 owners (who aren't single minded fan-boys who find it necessary to bash every other console) will most likely buy a Wii2. In all honesty, i'm pretty sure MS and Sony have already been planning a new console for years, that would be the smart thing to do.

What if the Wii2 just ends up getting a bunch of 360/PS3 multiplats? Third party exclusivity barely even exists anymore on today's high-powered consoles, given the development costs of making big budget exclusive games. In fact, one of Cafe's rumored big features is easy 360 portability. There are many reasons beyond fanboyism why current 360/PS3 may end up not jumping over to the Wii2. We have to wait and see what it really even offers ($$/value), for one thing...

I doubt Third party's will create games for the 360 and PS3 along with the new Nintendo system. I'm nearly 100% sure Nintendo will come out with another innovation for the gaming world. So until Sony and MS quickly take that idea and incorporate it into their system, well, you be the judge. It'll be just like the NES coming out with the D-pad, SNES coming out with the shoulder buttons, and N64 coming out with an analog stick. Now, Apparently Nintendo is coming out with a touch screen on the controller, this could open a new door, like a display of health bars, ammo, items, map etc. And that's not even confirmed yet, it could be anything. When developers see this Innovation, they'll quickly come out with ways to utilize this new innovation. In ways that the PS3 and 360 cant achieve yet, that's what Nintendo is known for. You couldn't play a motion control game on anything else other than the Wii up until the PS-move. Nintendo never keeps milking the same thing, it always comes out with something new,and its competitors always seem to copy it.

(they'll be in the garage with all of my other consoles) The casual Wii owners will most likely Stick to their Wii until better game lineups come, like Zelda, Mario, Metroid, SSB, etc. Then they will upgrade to a Wii2 (or SNES2). Most casual gamers aren't frag heads, and the PS3 and 360 are know to be competing with each other in the FPS margin, Nintendo changed its focus from hardcore gamers to pretty much everyone to expand its fan base (pretty smart move). So Nintendo wouldn't have competition. And pretty much no one else is a FPS fan other than PS3 and 360 owners (the self proclaimed hardcore gamers). Apparently, Nintendo is now refocusing on the 'Hardcore' market, so if MS and Sony Don't come out quick, they could end up at the bottom. Maybe even skip a generation. Which would in turn lose its fan base. If Nintendo really does come back to focusing on the 'Hardcore' area while Sony and MS are still in the planning stages, Nintendo would have the upper hand for the next 5-7 years or so. Nintendo probably has a team of Genius business psychologist and analyst to back up what they're doing, so no one in their right mind would say Nintendo is making a stupid business decision. They never have made a bad release date. In fact, These Strategies along with their innovations have, sometimes completely destroyed competitors. Plus, Nintendo will be sure to make it backwards compatible, so this means that the Wii-motes can be used with the new Nintendo system. This means no motion control fan will be left in the dust. They'll also (if they're smart, which i know they are) release new motion control games. So it'll be two consoles in one.

In all honesty, i'm pretty sure MS and Sony have already been planning a new console for years, that would be the smart thing to do. No longer than a year after the Wii2.

Well said, Wii isn't kiddy. It appeals to everyone, ages 3-90. My 3 year old Nephew loves playing Rayman raving rabbids and Mario and sonic at the olympic games. My Grandfather loves playing Wii music on the weekends. My grandmother loves playing WiiFit. My mom loves playing the classic Nintendo games like Zelda and Mario bros. And i love playing Zelda, Metroid and Mario.

I personally think Nintendo will come out of the next gen on top. I also doubt MS and sony will come out with new consoles 2 or three years later, pretty suicidal if you ask me. If Nintendo does release a console with amazing graphics and performance, and Sony and MS release their consoles 2 or 3 years later, their entire video game industry would lose an entire gen. If you think about it, By the time MS and Sony release their new consoles, Nintendo would have a pretty impressive library, not to mention a lowered price. It's pretty obvious Sony and MS have been in production of their new consoles, and probably be released no longer than the a year after the Nintendo console. So dont post any comments about MS and Sony having a tech advantage. Now back to the main topic. The reason I think Nintendo will come out on top is because Nintendo is known for being the king of videogames, the Inovators, the leaders. Surely MS and Sony will quickly follow up on Nintendos creation. Nintendo has been the innovator since they entered the market, and we have them to thank for everything from the D-Pad to the Thumbstick to Wireless Controllers. The NES was released 8 Months before the Sega Master system, but it still won in terms of all aspects of gaming. In 1990, the SNES was next, it came out with shoulder buttons. 4 years later, Sony came out with playstation (along with shoulder buttons) . Even with the 4 year gap, Nintendo still came out on top. In 1996, the first Thumbstick Controller came out with the N64, and of course Sony comes out with there Dualshock controllers two years later. Then, In 2002 the Wavebird was released for the gamecube. First wireless controller. 3 years later the 360 comes out with a wireless controller next. Do i even have to mention the PS move and Wiimote *cough* 4 years *cough* Nintendo was once the king of gaming, the innovators, the leaders. They then changed their focus with the wii, and it worked. They sold approx. 84 mil. The most of the current gen consoles. And now nintendo are apparently changing its aim to the PS3 and 360 owners. I can tell their graphics are goin to be at par with the next gen consoles. Be warned, Nintendo is coming back to reclaim its crown. They're going to school Sony and Microsoft this time. And just watch them quickly copy Nintendos innovation. Let me assure you, anyone to say Nintendo is dying is surely being naive. Just watch em. Nintendo knows what it's doing, they're playing it right. Nintendo is like the Parents of gaming, whilst Sony And Microsoft are like the Obnoxios and naive teens. Nintendo is always the first to release their consoles. They obviously know what they are doing, they've been in this situation before, they got it wrapped up. Anyone thinking that Nintedo doesn't care about graphics, or lacks third party support compared to sony or microsoft, do i need to remind you of how far ahead the N64 was compared to its only competitor, the Playstation. This is not to say that other companies have not had their strengths as well. Microsoft has made huge strides in showing us what the possibilities of online gaming hold, and Sony is constantly pushing the technical limitations of their hardware. Hold onto your hats for this console.

MS and Sony most likley will release a new console soon after the new Nintendo system. Who's to say that the New Console wont be as good as the PS4 and new Microsoft system. Who ever thinks that needs to look up the history of gaming. Nintendo was known for releasing Video games at much higher qualities than its competitors. Nintendo has been the innovator since they entered the market, and we have them to thank for everything from the D-Pad to the Thumbstick to Wireless Controllers. The NES was released 8 Months before the Sega Master system, but it still won in terms of all aspects of gaming. In 1990, the SNES was next, it came out with shoulder buttons. 4 years later, Sony came out with playstation (incorporating shoulder buttons). Even with the 4 year gap, Nintendo still came out on top. In 1996, the first Thumbstick Controller came out with the N64, and of course Sony comes out with their Dualshock controllers two years later. Then, In 2002 the Wavebird was released for the gamecube. First wireless controller. 3 years later the 360 comes out with a wireless controller next. Do i even have to mention the PS move and Wiimote *cough* 4 years *cough* Nintendo was once the king of gaming, the invators, the leaders. then they changed there focus with the wii, and it worked.

This is not to say that other companies have not had their strengths as well. Microsoft has made huge strides in showing us what the possibilities of online gaming hold, and Sony is constantly pushing the technical limitations of their hardware. But i honestly think that the Wii was not made to compete with the PS3 and the 360. It was just made to be an innovation, expand its fan base from gamers, to, well, practicaly everyone. Smart move if you ask me. But please.......... Dont be naive.
