The official N5 thread: speculate!!

I think the next system should be a pure gaming console as is this one, I already have a DVD player and I don't want to pay extra money for Project Dolphin 2. Besides that, a real gamer doesn't base their console choice on whether or not it can play DVDs. I think the mini discs being used now are cool, I don't know if they have enough capacity to hold next generation's games though. I don't want to have 2 discs for every game though so unless they can design the same size discs with bigger capacity, I guess they'll just have to use some other type of disc. Backwards compatibility would certainly be nice, for those times when I feel like reliving the 'good 'ol days'. As for the GBA player option, I don't want it to be a standard feature because that's something else I don't need (or use very much) and it just raises the price again. I think they should sell it as an attachment just as it is this generation. Built in wireless receivers would be cool, I would like to see wireless controllers become standard. I wouldn't miss the rumble feature, personally, I like playing better without the rumble feature. If I feel the need for that stimulation, I'll put an adult toy in my pants while I'm playing. At launch time, they should have one of their major titles ready. I think if they had Mario Sunshine, Windwaker, or Metroid Prime ready at launch with the Gamecube, they would've won more customers. I know Super Smash Bros. Melee was released soon after launch but that isn't as classic as other titles like Mario, Zelda, etc. As for multiplayer, it would be cool if online playability was definite, but also keep their offline multiplayer alive. I think LAN should be abandoned because bringing two TVs togther into the same room is pretty unfeasible. I have yet to play a LAN game and I don't think I will because neither my friends nor I have a way to set it up at any of our houses. I guess that's pretty much it. One of my unrealistic hopes for next generation is for Nintendo to create a virtual reality game where you wear a headset and have special gloves you put on so that you become totally immersed in the game.
