What is does is show that they are going to have those types of games, which have been absent from their line-up.

How exactly are they supposed to show actual game footage when the console isn't due out for over a year? Do you think the software companies have the new games all wrapped up and ready to go? They probably haven't even started any real game development for the system yet.

You have some valid points....but why even show a demo at a press conference? The reason its a negative is that they are saying they are going to have better graphics than the competition but their showing the competitions screens and no disclaimer was given till after the conference when questioned.
Anyway its not a big deal I'm pretty sure its graphics will surpass current gen. I think it was just a rushed attempt to put something out since there was so much detail left out (I hope I dont eat my words)....As far as game development not starting yet I dont think your quite right on that...There has to be something already started...lol They are not gonna put out this system without any games!...That is a huge marketing deal when releasing a new system is the Launch games.

Sony got the same negative response when they shown a Killzone video a couple years back that was computer generated and not actual PS3 vid. Which didnt matter cause Killzone is one of the best looking games out there. I'm sure Nintendo wont dissapoint but again that a year is a short span to deliver....

I don't think they said "Look at how great the games are going to look on our console vs PS3 or 360" and then proceeded to show the demo. It was more just a demo showing all the franchises that are now coming to a Nintendo platform.

good break for nintendo release its hd console since sony has no intention of releasing ps4. focusing on handheld battle with iphone.

not sure with xbox720 but its rumor spec is hd7000 which is $500+ on the market right now and add the other stuff $$$. also rumor oban chip is on production? doubt this will release within 2-3yrs.

i hope those next gen console will be 4k & 8k compatible.

Funny thing about that particular demo is that miyamoto said that they are sticking with motion controls for the next Zelda. So technically the game won't use the Wii-U controller. At least not handheld that way. I could see you still having it next to you or something for the map.

And are you implying that Sony is leaving the console market? I know there was some source that said he thinks someone is leaving the console market but that was all i heard about it and that was just his opinion. It sure would be interesting for them to go only mobile especially considering the bust that is the Vita.

$500 for the next XBox sounds realistic. I mean that's how much the Elite was and that was 6 years ago.

I hope they stick with the motion control comment, Skyward Sword is ruling my life right now. Everything else I have to do on any day is just a barely tolerated intermission.

I don't think they are dropping the console wars. They're just concentrating on vita for now.
It makes perfect sense since 4k 8k tv are 2-4years around that block. For a next gen should be able to run those monster resolution.


maybe Zelda would have bolh. I prefer no motion control, just pure visual no crummy interface on the screen.

exitspeed

Lol. I wish i had more time during the week to play. I get like 1-2 days a week to play for an hour or two. SS is probably my favorite game of the last 5 years honestly.

Have you played Skyward Sword? This game proves that motion controls CAN be supioror to a standard controller.

I have not...I only have a couple kiddie titles on my wii but, I do have the ps move. Precision stuff is what turns me off in motion controls.

exitspeed

Trust me...play Skyward Sword. It is probably THE only game that I have genuinely enjoyed and prefer motion controls with.

Skyward sword is very precise with its motion control. So much so you learn quickly that you cannot just waggle the control like on previous games and expect to beat anything.

Battle was something I just coasted through in most prior Zelda games, but in SS it is THE focus of the game.

You look forward to just about every tiny engagement with enemies, let alone boss fights.

Super Mario 3D land is pretty brilliant also, if offensively easy. If Nintendo stays this on-point in the next couple years I'd expect all doubts to evaporate.

Nintnedo confirmed the system WILL launch globally by the end of the year. I'm going to get my spot in line now...

Yeah, hoping for a preorder announcement soon. I'll buy at launch.

IGN was saying that they're contemplating a rename, which is probably a good idea.

Final form at E3 in early June. Seems like such a loooooooong time from now, but they've given me a lot to keep me busy in the meantime.

I'd like to see a rename. What I'd LOVE is for them to name it something with NES. Since this is going to be a system for the "hardcore" and the NES is the ultimate and original hardcore console it would be cool for them to use that heritage. Could you imagine the marketing and how much that thing would sell if they just called it like XNES or some shit? That would be cool.

I liked "Revolution" as the original name for the Wii, so I'd be happy if they use that.

XNES or something similar would also be pretty cool.

Or VNES "Visual Nintendo Entertainment System", owing to the controller with a screen, something like that.

So 3DS has sold FIFTEEN MILLION units since launch, worldwide? Do people understand how much that is? Wii didn't sell that fast and Wii was sold out consistently in the United States for like 18 months. Pssssssh, what failure?

I have such a Nintenboner right now.

Not sure who's been keeping up with the Wii U rumors, but E3 is going to be big for Wii U. But that's not exactly worth updating this thread for.

But this is! Consider my mind blown! Go to about 1:27 in the video. WTF!

i saw samething on Target called skylanders. it saves on the character figure so if you have the same toy figures it would have different character ID code. if you die in the game you have to restart the stage or switch to another toy figure with full health.

its damn brilliant.
nintendo and publishers can make lot of dough from kiddies.

found a vid

Daniel.

It doesn't magically scan the action figures, so you're right. The controller is using an embedded NFC chip in both the toy and the controller to read the toys, meaning you can only scan certain things.

As Long as controllers are normal I might consider it.

Maybe I'm just that old, but nobody else remembers barcode battlers? The NFC chip is just a 21st century version of that.

It's cool to mediocre at best. This is a selling point/gimmick for pre-teens. The pokemon crowd/games will eat this up. I could imagine them cashing in $$$ to sell these toys. Yet this is simply just another form of DLC to get your money.

Future240

This was my first thought. I can imagine a Yu gi oh (that still exists right?) or magic the gathering, pokemon, or any of those type games, being big with this.

Still it is really amazing though. I bet someone can come up with something that is pretty inventive (zelda).
