This leak seems to be carrying some weight, and is detailed enough to believe it's isn't just some gossip fluff. If these are true, then Nintendo have indeed gotten their act together. That's a console I can get behind. |

I dunno, the games they're promoting just seem like old stuff they're diggin up from years back.. Zelda? Mario, Pokemon... jees make something new and original for a change instead of re-hashing old stuff and catering for children. I do like mario but its like Nintendo just keep holding on to it constantly (i know its their mascot) and it (console) still has that childish cartoon-like portrayal to me what with the games they make and push out. Maybe this might move away from that I'd have to see but for me the PS3 and 360 are my main hardcore machines, I fell fowl of the Wii years back so I doubt Ill get the new Wii. The first didnt have that much pull to keep me entertained on it so it feels like a waste sitting in the box still. |

They're clearly aiming to re-spark some of that N64 magic. There's nothing wrong with more Mario and Zelda when they are of the quality that was Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. Those games pushing the boundaries on top end hardware are system sellers. Just because they're lacking blood and guts doesn't make them for kids. The N64 was also a period where they embraced the third parties, as much as it eventually shit them to tears to be trapped into the cartridge format. This is the console that had us all playing 4 player Golden Eye, Perfect Dark and Turok (is the cranium drill still not the most awesomely gory weapon ever?). They've made alot of money marketing themselves as an accessable family console, but they have dished out some of the best adult oriented games in the past. Every gen is a whole new ball game as far as direction goes. You shouldn't write it off just because of the Wii just yet. |

Yeah, first thing they need to announce is a new name so I don't asscoiate it with wankers eating over priced food and sipping latte's next to the gutter. What happened to the cool names like the Black Belt and the Evolution? |

It was called a cerebral bore, and yes it was the coolest weapon ever. Specs look interesting, very much along the lines of what Digital Foundry "guessed" as well so certainly within the realms of possibility. I'm a bit bored with console gaming at the moment so fingers crossed this reignited the spark. |

Ah yes! My bad. I thought the name was off but my brain is fried. It's amazing how badly they've totally fucked the Turok games after they had them so right, isn't it? |

Yep. I'm waiting for a reboot that captures the old magic - massive environments, and blowing up dinosaurs with insane weapons. The N64 was ace at drawing huge environments - remember the awful pop up in most Psone games, then compare to the draw distance on the dam level in goldeneye. |

Controller looks quite cool. Seems the idea is along the lines of the old GB-Gamecube hook up, i won't be surprised if you can only have one of the new controllers active. The new name sucks though... I can see ma and pa being confused... Did jonny say a Wii or a Wii u? Cue disappointed jonny when he gets the cheaper Wii for Christmas. |

Why would the parents be disappointed? It gives them an excuse to say they misheard and get the cheaper version

There's no real confirmed specs of substance, but so far I'm unimpressed. Seems more like a catch up than a new gen, and I really wish they'd just dropped the Wii title and compatibility and moved on. I think they're lack of testicles to let go has dragged this one down a bit. It seems it has just been confirmed that they're still using DVD's. As for the controller, while I applaud the fact that people are running with the idea Sega had with the Dreamcast, what exactly is stopping Sony from shitting all over this with a PS3/PSVita bluetooth connection? The PSVita may just well end up being the bane of Nintendo's existance once this E3 is over, after they already crapped all over the 3DS's price point. |

So not DVD's, but not Blu Ray's either. They've gone for their own format.

Controller seems like they're definantly sticking to family/kiddy markets. I can't see it being practical for FPS's or other game genres other than Mario and mii party games ect |

I agree, the screen is either a bit too big, or it's a little awkwardly designed. There are plenty of uses for it though. Remove the entire hud from a FPS and put your health and weapon selection on the screen, set up quick formation options in a soccer game, play poker with mates in the same room, and it was already used very effectively for grid iron games on the Dreamcast so your mate can't see your plays. The DC VMU was limited by it's small LCD screen, but they still found some great uses for it. I'm surprised it took this long for the idea to be dragged up with technology. Much rather the screen than fucking motion controllers... |
