The official N5 thread: speculate!!

[thatmariolover]

I really don't even know what to say. A lot of good ideas here (particularly the one about the waffle maker). I guess in my opinion Nintendo should almost just back out of the console market and go exclusive for one of the other two consoles.

I just really don't see Nintendo being successful with their business strategy. The US side of Nintendo really seems to understand why they aren't doing as well as they should be, but the Japanese side seems very narrow-minded and arrogant to me. I'm really sick of them because they're not giving us what we want, they're giving us what they think we should want. It's like gifts from my parents during my younger years.

Here's my rendition of the N5 (made in Mario Paint!).

Please don't tell me that you have Mario Paint on an emulator, lol.

well what you, and everyone else wants, doesnt seem to make them as much money as what they think you want.

so maybe as they keep losing fans and costomers. they'll start to see what really makes them money. or something

lol... you captured the essense of the problem.

Fan support is more important than making money in the end. Nintendo is lucky to have fans who are pretty much slaves to them... if Nitnendo's fans were as loyal to Nintendo as Nintendo is to them Nintendo would be dead.

Nintendo isn't #1 right now, so they are gonna have to take a financial hit to get back up there. I just don't see this happening. They will most likely stay cheap and slowly but surly Nintendo's home consoles will die off. GBA will meet it's match one day too, with it's lack of innovation and extremely cheap hardware it's a matter of time until Nintendo will have to invest more into it to survive.

It's pretty sad when I think about it... they are dying a slow and painful death. By the time they are willing to give up and join with other companies they may not be worth that much.

Nice...very nice. I like the waffle temperature LCD.

[thatmariolover]

Haha. Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys.

And yes, I was running Mario Paint in an emulator I made that in like ten minutes. So, not bad, considering I haven't used it in ages...

In all seriousness, though, I want a HD and BBA, better graphics, and more disk space. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with hardware. I just want more software.

Yeah, I liked that. Too bad it will never happen. Nintendo would sooner make us hook our GBA up to the system to get a super cool readout like that.

Haha. And look at that. I willingly gave BJW ammunition I bet you never thought you'd see the day.

[MasterMind]

Can't they use the same kind of disc format? Except just making it the standard size? How much memory could a disc like that hold? I think thats what they might end up doing. That way the can still have backwards compatibility and not worry so much about software pirating.

[Jonbo298]

As long as Nintendo can have nearly the same file size as whatever disk medium the other 2 companies use, Nintendo will stand a better chance getting more 3rd Party titles...but only time will tell.....

[Canyarion]

If they stick with GODs, they better have about 5x as much capacity.
Ehm I agree with TML and BJW and stuff.
