According to Game Informer (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/04/14/new-nintendo-console-at-e3.aspx) and IGN (http://wii.ign.com/articles/116/1161875p1.html). Various sources confirmed the new system, and a pre-announcement possibly this month with a full reveal at this year's E3.
Some of the notable things
-Boasts HD capabilities of 1080p
-Wii backwards compatibility
-"More powerful" than Xbox 360 and PS3
A quote from the article
"Nintendo is doing this one right," said an anonymous source. "[It's] not a gimmick like the Wii." What else, beyond graphics, this may imply about the system is unknown. What kind of controls the system will support (we imagine a need for both classic analog configurations and motion controllers) or what level of software and infrastructure Nintendo will provide for online gaming is also unknown. However, it's a positive sign that the system might be more than just an HD Wii."
Thoughts on this? Of course the console will beat out 5-6 year old hardware, but if Nintendo does this one right and i'm playing my first party games in full HD, it will be pretty swet.
You never know with Nintendo. I HOPE this is true, but we'll have to see come E3. With the barren release schedule for the Wii, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the console soon.
AWESOME-TASTIC. By next year, we'll be fully transitioned into Nintendo's 6th gen. Time to start SSB4 hyping. Also, it seems Skyward Sword is going the route of Twilight Princess at this rate... except, you know, they actually SHOWED TP stuff so that people would be hyped for it.
Anyway, I assume that full back-wards compatibility will mean we're still using remotes and such, which I'm fine with since they'll probably also have normal controllers like they did with the VC controller. And kudos to Nintendo on upping the power to modern standards. However, I still have some requests of Nintendo:
1. I want my movies, and not from Netflix. Make this thing a Blu-Ray/DVD player, since you're behind a few gens in that department already.
2. Gamecube was the single best generation ever imo, so this thing should be backwards compatible to Gamecube too. If not, then at least put Gamecube games on a VC.
3. Oh yeah, a VC. Keep it, but do it correctly this time. Let's have NES, SNES, and N64 games again, but this time can you please bother putting out games people WANT? I see tons of crap I've never heard of come out month after month, yet no sign of huge fan-requests like Mother or DK64.
4. I assume this is a given since the thing's gonna be stronger than the PS3, but I'm just going to say it anyway: HARD DRIVE.
5. Please improve online, like, a lot... but keep it free.
Of course, even without all of the above things, I'll get it since Nintendo has always been the best 1st party developer, and the 8th gen power will probably attract more 3rd parties too. Heck, if 3rd parties start treating it like the PS3 and 360, it may end up being the only 8th gen console I buy!
It would make sense to release a new system now, given the Wii isn't exactly powerful, especially by today's standards. Only so much can be done with the comparatively limited hardware and firmware before it's time to upgrade to match the competition and its superior online offerings. It's highly likely that this is true, but like Nayr said, we'll have to wait and see at E3.
There's only one little problem I have with this new system, and only one.
Remember how Twilight Princess was released towards the end of the Gamecube's lifespan, and how it was delayed so a rushed port could be released on the Wii as a launch title? Some sources say this will be released towards the end of 2012, and Skyward Sword SHOULD be released this year if there are no delays.
Nintendo, no.
Don't delay the first Zelda game built for the Wii to make a port of it.
I sense a repeat of Twilight Princess all over again SkyMyl. However, Majora's Mask was released in 2000, a year before the Gamecube, so it's possible. Nintendo probably has some big launch game for the system since they've had MORE than enough time to plan for it.
People... Haven't you learned yet?
You can't spell IGNorance without IGN.
Now this would be a good reason to get rid of an old console.
If this is true, it's about freaking time Nintendo.
Now I can enjoy the good games at 100% with enhanced graphical input without hurting my eyes.
I don't think these people know anything at all. I could have told you all of that as soon as it was announced that there was a price drop on the Wii coming up.
I heard from several sources that this is all true:
- It will have better graphics than the Wii
- It will have better internet compatibilities than the Wii
- It will be made of plastic
- It will be backwards compatible
- There will be both 1st and 3rd party games at launch
- It will be bundled with controllers and at least one game at launch
- It will be more expensive than the Wii
The thing that I liked the most was the original rumors, that said the new system might be less powerful than the PS360, or more powerful than the 360. You know, as opposed to being identical to a PS360, which most people probably thought it would be.
I'm eager to know the price Nintendo has planned for all of this.
All I'm saying is, they better have Gamecube backwards compatability. Because if there is not...

That's store only stuff, not manufacturer as far as I know. I'd take $350 dollars. If it's supposed to be as powerful or slightly more powerful than current stuff, and the PS3 is $300, then $350 should be reasonable.

LOL. I actually meant it for GS since they're normally the ones that throw out offers for new products.
$350 actually isn't a bad price, but that's only if everything stated about it is true.
Did anyone see the info coming from the people who leaked the NGP?
-Custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores
-GPU from the ATI R700 family with a shader unit at version 4.1
-At least 512Mb of RAM
-Backwards compatibility with both the Wii (including all peripherals) and GameCube games
-Controller with six-inch touch screen, front-facing camera, D-Pad, two bumpers, two triggers and "possibly more"
-Controller can allegedly be used as a Wii sensor bar.
-Another "big surprise" about the console is set to be revealed at E3
It's apparently called Project Cafe.
With a six inch screen, it would be hard to use a stylus, I wonder if it's capacitive. I want good online, I don't care if I have to pay for it.
Demos and a hard drive please, Nintendo. It is going to be in HD for sure, but I hope it's more powerful than current systems. American developers won't develop for it if they can't have similar power.

T-T
My dream: it is REALITY!
I'm beginning to want this more than the 3DS now.
So, Gamecube and Wii, those are the names Nintendo has come up with (the others are easy to think of names). Guesses on this one?
I'm curious as to what color this will be.
Not that'll affect me getting it or not.

It'll probably have something about connecting or sharing or something. Cafe makes me think of a place where a lot of people get together. Maybe gamecenter?

It's two generations later. You can't really expect that much.
There probably will be though. Apparently the controller works like a gamecube controller.

... derp says herp? How the heck would you even hold such a controller?
Also, I know nothing real about technology, so... what exactly does that 512 Mb of RAM mean?
EDIT: Cornwad already got the info on the technical aspects. Ah, nevermind, Tupin got the name.
That is one heck of a controller. The name "Cafe" makes me think of, something unusual i don't know. I guess E3 will hold some nice surprises.
Which is in about 2 more months.

I actually agree.
It's been months since we've gotten any "real" updates, and the recent ones we've received were only for killing Homebrew (Which still manages to bypass the "updates").
The Wii had dozens of potential, and people we're only trying to experience these exploits, but Nintendo being the stubborn company they are continues with the whole "shutting you down/we're doing everything right" gimmick.
It's not like people are making a profit off of this.
Not to mention that the rumors didn't originate from IGN in the first place.

Forget about what I said before. I think it's time to see a new console.
Nintendo has been needing a new console by now.
Let's hope they at least have half a brain and get rid of friend codes.
It should be at least PS360/3DS styled.

why change?
FCs seem to be the only thing Nintendo will never change.
The one thing I'm hoping for is achievements. It's about time Nintendo got them.
I suggested Achievements a while back, but a few people argued them to be pointless.
I honestly would love to see Nintendo come up with something like that.
Microsoft has Achievements.
Sony has Trophies.
So maybe Nintendo could go for Medals?

you have to remember that people on this forum are blind nintendo fanboys (hi chris and that other guy with the huge brawl FAIL sig) that refuse to believe they'd every do anything wrong
achievements aren't pointless, they give you more insensitive to go back and play a game and enjoy it for what it's worth. they give you a reason to explore every little corner of a game. they're also just added fun. people that don't want achievements just don't like playing games. if they truly went and 100%ed games for fun they would earn every achievement anyway, so why not just intercourse ing accept them?
Achievements are awesome. Trophies suck.
hold up, what kinda console is this topic about exactly? It sounds like we're switching off from handheld to home console somewhere D:

Exactly.
Achievements are nothing more than an "optional" route.
None of the games are forcing you to clear each and every one of them. They're just the icing on the cake, giving you wider options during your playthrough.
The same could be said for the Smash series. You don't need to unlock all of the characters/stages or acquire all 200 (if not 300) trophies in the game in order to beat it. That's just additional content that was thrown in the game to give players a better reason to extend their game play duration.
Just as with any other game that has "unlockables".
I got 200% in DKCR, and was severely disappointed with the fact that I got nothing out of it, other than more artwork. (Oh, the repetitiveness)
I thought to myself: "Hey, maybe if I complete the game with 200% I'll unlock something awesome. Perhaps maybe a "Hero Mode" like in the GBA DKC port where you only play as Diddy Kong".
So 2 weeks later I succeed with it, but don't get jack from it. What a joke.
At least give me a "Congratulations" screen.
That's the only reason I even bothered to attempt it.
So getting 200% in this game is pretty much worthless.
Other than that, the game was pretty good.
But really "almost" everyone that owns/played Wii has been wanting an Achievements System for the past year, and we still haven't gotten it.
Out of all the recent and useless updates Nintendo has given us they couldn't even bother to implement this into one?
Such a shame.

Well, they'll probably go with the 3DS route where you only need one code per console instead of a code per game, and I can probably live with that.

That'll be fine with me also.
But FCs alone are what screwed Wii owners during Brawl since it was literally impossible to transfer all of your saved data other than Replays.
If they take 3DS's example then that's something I'll be cool with, but knowing it's Nintendo almost anything can happen.

If that's true, the controller doesn't seem as bad as the information made it seem initially.
Looks like Dreamcast.
That seems pretty fake to me.
Seems awkward.
http://gear.ign.com/articles/116/1163325p1.html (http://gear.ign.com/articles/116/1163325p1.html)
Some info about Project Cafe from IGN. Obviously all still rumors and speculation, but I tend to trust the "news" part of Internet Gaming News, and they're usually clear about rumors and info they get from sources they trust. So I find the info rather interesting. Pricing may be a bit high for a Nintendo console, but not outside of my price range. Graphics may be slightly above the 360 with faster processors, and the control mock-ups seem to be pretty spot on. Well, that's what they say anyway. We'll see in about two months. :P
Man, I hope E3 isn't on a day I work like last years. :(
But those pictures are still fake if the IGN thing is to be taken seriously. It doesn't look like a SNES.

If I miss it I usually go online to watch it, but the buffering is slow most of the time and the videos freeze almost every 5 mins.
Forcing me to have to skip parts.
Apparently there's something going on on the 26th with Nintendo, or so I've heard from GoNintendo.
Oh, gee I wonder what it could be.
I think they're having an investor meeting or something around Monday or Tuesday next week.
Cool
Also, it is rumored that it will cost around 400 bucks.
That doesn't sound too bad, but it also sounds a bit high, imo.
Moderate I guess.

Basically, we know it's reasonable for a console of this capability, but no one really
wants to spend $400.
If the rumors are true and the controller also has a screen, then I weep. LoZ: 4 Swords and Crystal Chronicles were alright, and definitely different, but the controller(A GBA) screen gimmick just isn't my thing.

The price for this sounds much more reasonable than the 3DS's. (If it's true of course)
Also, here's a much clearer image of the controller.
I pray to God this is not the official product:

This is a magazine telling about how Lightning was a playable character in the little updated Dissidia version. She was supposed to be included, but people photoshopped the images with her on it.
It's a mock up of how the controller is supposed to look, it's not some secret file they smuggled out of Nintendo.

In more recent news, Nintendo has this picture up on WarioWorld:

And Nintendo has confirmed that they are making a new system, it will be out in 2012, and there will be a playable demo of it at E3.
Saw that and instantly thought "CLASSIC CONTROLLER PRO"
Didn't believe it for a second.
OH MY GOSH IT'S A MOCK UP IGN ISN'T TRYING TO TRICK ANYONE.
I'm thinking this will be early 2012.
I'm thinking that it will be released Holiday 2012, Iwata says it's not coming out before April 2012.
At least Nintendo chose a code name that people won't mind if it changes. Also, they took down all Cafe related stuff on that website. Code name confirmed.
I thought Nintendo made plans to call it Steam.
Stream, actually. I've seen this controller floating around, probably fake but who knows:

All of the rumors have said analog sticks so far, I've seen nothing about slide pads. I don't know why they would be right about the 6 inch screen and not the sticks.
Overanalysis?
"E3 Expo?"
You mean "Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo?"
Someone didn't proofread that letter.
But why would they choose Mid 2012 for launch?
Early 2012 would make better sense.
It'll likely be released holiday season for next year would be my bet.

USA. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE OFF-TOPICNESS!
I won't make the same mistake and preorder the next console. I love you, Gamestop.
I'll pre-order on Amazon again if they do it like the 3DS. Simple to order and ship, and I can do next day if I really want it. I'm through with midnight launches for things. I'm too old for that poop. *remembers all of the Gamecube, Wii, and PS3 pains*
Once everything is shown and i can see the system and what it does, or know how much it'll cost, i'll see if it's worth it.
Right now if it's really going to be $400 it'll take some real persuading for me to purchase, i'm sure once it's shown off i'll be more intrigued.
I don't buy any of it. All of you people will poop bricks when you see an HD Mario, HD Zelda, HD Metroid, or intercourse dare I say a HD Smash Bros game(I wish) announced for it. Which of course means you'll all be waiting in anticipation.
Honestly, I'll probably be suckered in too. It happens every time guys, every, intercourse ing, time.

http://mynintendonews.com/2011/04/24/nintendo-wii-2-no-friend-codes-for-nintendo-wii-2-project-cafe/
There may be hope for this Project Cafe just yet.
Here is what else I personally want to see:
-A controller reminiscent of the GC controller or GC controller support
-Backwards compatibility with both Wii and GC games(lol if it hasn't already been confirmed yet)
-Virtual Console items to be able to be carried over, virtual console to still be around, etc.
-More first party support, seriously where the intercourse is my Pikmin 3 Miyamoto?
-Achievements for the intercourse of it
-On online system similar to Live or PSN(if they really are doing away with friend codes, then this may be the case)
-Really don't like the screen-controller rumor, hope it isn't true.
-Smash Bros, dangit.
Pikmin 3 was announced years ago.
Yet we haven't heard of anything since then.
Actually, here's an article with speculations:

Well they moved in the right direction with the 3DS friend code, now all we need is a Username/Password used across all Nintendo consoles and stores all our stuff on a cloud like steam.
Nintendo knows they can get a lot of people to buy it with HD of any of their series really. Like i would probably buy it if was good and had a new kirby game.

hmm, just username/password? if they're going to get into a system like sony that involves credit information, couldn't it be a possible PSN hacking all over again?
Thank God. Finally Nintendo has come to their senses.
Knowing that FCs were horrible to begin with.
Please.
PLEASE.
Remake Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. With online play.
Of course, there could be griefers everywhere...
How come all everyone wants is remakes? I like Four Swords as much as anyone, but I've played it before.
I want completely new games, I don't want to repurchase old games with slight adjustments.
I want new games too, but I also want remakes of the "really good" games from the past.
Just the fact that I've heard a rumor that the new console will be flooded with PS3/360 ports at launch makes me want to facepalm. At least Valve is supposedly getting a development kit.
I sure hope they're good ports.

It's uh. A podcast.
ALSO WHY DID YOU EDIT OUT THE HAWKWARD PART.
Oh, I thought it was an article.
There's a rumor it only has 8GB of flash memory and no hard drive, but the discs hold 25GB.
It really needs a hard drive. Especially all with these lazy companies that just want to port 360 games...
I pray to God that it's false.
No Hard Drive would mean no demo downloading/DLC. Which is something big the Wii really lacked.
I saw someone say something that made sense. Since it might be called the Stream and if this lack of hardrive is true, the new Nintendo console might be a cloud kind of thing that lets you stream content off the internet. You wouldn't need a whole lot of space other than what's on the disc, because the rest would be online.
I still want a hard drive.

That sounds like suck. I want to be able to play my games when I don't have internet. Or am I reading that wrong?
I want a freaking respectable console, with hard drive and good graphics and internet and dlc and all that stuff.
Sorry, but it needs and HDD. Even if discs can hold 25GB, it basically means no DLC. If your internet connection sucks, good luck playing any add-ons for games. Hopefully it isn't true, especially with the price of minimal memory being ridiculously cheap. (Seriously, I can get 100GB of memory for very little at the right shops. Memory should NOT be an issue in this day and age).
We'll see come June...

I think the idea is that you'd be able to get the content on the disc when offline, but everything else would be streamed from a Nintendo server. It's probably false though.
Cloud based gaming would be cool, but would probably limit markets, which Nintendo doesn't like to do.
Nintendo has done crazier things, motion control seemed so strange when it was first announced. In a little more than a month, we'll know.
Maybe this time they'll have a hard drive accessory or the ability to use external hard drives or thumb drives.
I agree with Nayr.
Not everyone has a perfect connection.

Yeah, the Wii had two USB ports and you couldn't use them to store channels and game saves, only the SD card.
The only thing it was good for was USB Loaders and Homebrew shenanigans.

We can only hope.

It looked like as if Nintendo was begging hackers to do anything with the console.
There's really nothing wrong with HB honestly.
I haven't heard any more on this... has anyone else?
I haven't even been paying much attention to this at all, even though I have a high interest in it.
Same here. We just don't have enough information yet.
If I find out something new I'll provide up-to-date information on everything.
Except rumors, there will be rumors.
Even if it is a rumor I'll still post it, so that I can get other peoples views and opinions.

But say it's a rumor.
So does anyone else agree with me on "Medals", or should it be called something else if there is an Achievement System?
Trophies. Get a unique trophy (like in SSBM/SSBB) for every achievement.
Highlyhighlyhighly doubt, but I thought I'd show an opinion that came to mind.
Here's something, a rumor of course. A supposed "private developer conference" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgjES1oOTlc) was released on Youtube, but it has a lot of dislikes, could be real, might not be. Reminds me of when everyone bashed the PS3 Slim shaky-cam leak but it turned out to be real.

I guess that could work, but I'm not
too sure.

Where's the audio?
Also, why does that look like a classroom, lol?
Anyone hear 'bout how IGN's podcasts say this thing only has 8 GBs of flash memory and there's no plans to use an external hard drive?
Like IGN knows anything specific about the console. X_X;;
For more information about IGN's clumsiness with technology, please do look up 3DS screens in Youtube.
Trusting IGN's speculation?
LOL. I would never trust IGN unless other sources state otherwise.
