Um, haven't you heard how much Nintendo is against the pay-for-play practice? If Nintendo is unvieling their Gamespy plans, I'm sure they'll be for FREE, considering how much they've harped on "gamers not wanting to pay again to play a game online they just spent $50 on".

Could it be an online plan? Sure. Would it be ripping off XBL? Hell no. Infact, it would be alot closer to Sony's model right now, since they still have free online gaming going on strong right now; alongside the glorious PC an Mac online realms...

Or, it could really just be the 64-bit GameBoy prototype they've denied for four years now...

Or it could be something horrible like Virtual Boy. We'd all be blind if we kept playing that thing, its good that nobody ever played it.

All kidding aside, this had better be good. I'm rather getting tired of Nintendo's lackluster performance. I'm sticking it out for them, but I am REALLY sick of their, shall we say, non-traditional way of fixing things. But I suppose, that's what makes them Nintendo. I just wish their luck would change.

i bet its a nintendo flame thrower, or nintendo machine gun....maybe nintendo nuclear warhead!!!! They said that it would change the world...but is it video game related?

[DeathsHand]

It had best be good... And not expensive... I spent money on me Gamecube and I sorta regret ever buying it... 200 on the system, some money on games... Sure I wanted the games I got, but if I didn't get them I could have just spent the money on some of the many PS2 games I also want...

Bah... Stupid having to get Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles...

I bet it will just end up being a big overhyped bundle of nothing special...

But hey if it's something worth buying, fine by me

Oh what a surprise!!! Why does every thing that comes out of the Nintendo’s mouth of late seem to be total crap? Nintendo big “radical” rethink well just be another mad cap way of trying to save the company which will end up hurting them. Any one recall the last couple of time Nintendo use the word “radical” the N64 so called dream team of developers was one of them and also one of the most stupid things the company has ever done. Why doesn’t Nintendo just ask it fans what they want for once instead of doing what some miss guided out of touch 45 year man thinks they do. =/ It would be really sad to see Big N drop out of the console market but how long can they keep in it like they are.

I say it's a headset peripheral with a tiny gyroscope. When you look left and right the screen moves accordingly. Good for 1st person shooters.

What about the GBA SP? That signifies the first step in Nintendo listening to the consumers, and look at how well its selling. At least 30,000 units (usually more) of it a week are being sold in Japan, and other countries are selling it quite well too.

Also, the Gameboy Player is a godsend to gamers (at least to me) The first time you can "officially" play GBA games on your TV.... oh yeah

Then you can't forget that the former prez left awhile back, and look at the progress being made after he left. Exclusive games from certain 3rd party games and great collaborations with Ninty and other companies to make games. *still anticipation how F-Zero GX turns out*

So as you can see, Nintendo is making an effort now. Its not an overnight thing, but by next gen., it should be a fun console battle to see.
