Nintendo's next console

Yoda9864 · 11-28-2006, 02:19 AM

I was thinking yesterday, as I sometimes do, and was wondering what the Big N's next console will be like?

Will they continue to utilize a Wii-mote-like design? Or will they choose to go to a more traditional design?

And, if they do go back to a more traditional controller, will they get flak from the press and/or gaming community?

I heard that this will be their last.

Don't know how credible the source was though.

Their last console? I find that hard to believe. I don't think Nintendo is losing any money being in the console industry. Of course, I haven't really checked the latest numbers.

No! We can't discuss next-generation yet! Its WAY too early!

If I even hear someone utter a codename for a next-generation console, I'll go bananas!

But since you asked...

I believe Nintendo's next console will feature an evolved form of the current Wii-troller.

Think of the Wii-troller as a Charmander. Next generation it will become a Charmeleon!

I've been wondering this myself. And no I doubt the source was credible. There's no way Nintendo would even know what their plans are yet. Everytime Nintendo releases a console people say the exact same thing about how it will be their last.

I agree it will probably be an evolution of the Wii design. I can't see them returning to a traditional console format. That would be akin to admitting the Wii was a failure.

Nintendo has already commented that their "next" console will be full HD and all that pizazz so..its a matter of wait and see >.>

Why not skip right to Charizard? :P

Same thing, better graphics. Controller will have better rumble and possibly have a rotating part, or folding part?

Will this be a short generation for nintendo, like the last one was for microsoft? I'm betting so.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but this is what peeves me about GT.

There's so much Nintendo fanboyism that when a new Nintendo console comes out, a thread is made to talk about what the NEXT one might be like.

Well, I hope I don't sound like a fanboy, but aren't you the least bit interested? I'm also interested in what the PS4 or the XBOX.....720? the next Xbox will be like, but I also have a good inkling of what those two might be (better graphics and some elements of the Wiimote included in their new controllers).

The next Nintendo on the other hand, will probably have some elements of the Wiimote included in their new controller and better graphics. See the difference?

Wait...

bobcat · 11-29-2006, 10:50 PM

I don't see what's so fanboy about wondering what the next console will be like, even if the current one is so recently made.

If people started saying "Wii will be number 1" then yeh that's fanboy, but what's the harm in pondering about the next console after the Wii?? Or any of the other consoles for that matter?

Hah 720... I've been thinking of that as well. It's just natural to want to speculate on what the companies will do next. Sony is less interesting because we all pretty much assume it will be called PS4 and follow the same pattern, but you can't really tell with MS and Nintendo.

It could be PSF0UR.....or PS FOR U! (ps for you) Or PS WHORE

Or Microsoft could have xobx180, and do a complete 180 on their console design/ideas and come up with something freaky. And ppl will be like "have you seen the Xobx180, they've done a complete 180 ......
