Nintendo will have 64 style (or at least better) graphics on their next handheld. If the N-Gage can do PS1 now, then in a year or 2, the next GBA can do much better. Hell, Sony is claiming their PSP can do nearly PS2 graphics, so why can't Nintendo?

Price, probably... Or maybe just being stubborn...

I'm curious as to what the new dealy is...
I've been hoping they'd do something to make NES/SNES games easilyerish available to gamers nowadays, not having to pay high prices at used game stores, or risk getting ripped off buying from seperate buyers... But I'd rather them just release more compilations on NGC or something...

Yeah it would be perfect if they'd build a machine that would play ALL the cartridges. Plus have an option to DL games (with charge of course). That way nobody would have to mess with a broken NES or numb controllers.

You know that mysterious product Nintendo plans to reveal at this year's E3 Expo? The one that's not going to be the next-gen GameCube or GBA? Well, in an interview with a Japanese newspaper, Nintendo president Satrou Iwata let out a little hint of what we might be expecting in a year or two when talking about that mystery Nintendo product.

When asked about what the upcoming consoles will be like, Iwata commented that the current systems have basically reached their limits, implying that making a new game system similar to the ones currently available isn't something that should be done. He then went on to talk about Nintendo's new and unique game device, saying that the concept of the thing will offer a hint of what we can expect for Nintendo's new game system.

It has been heavily rumored that this new gaming device would simply be the recently released Chinese iQue, but after hearing what Iwata had to say, it's probable that it won't be. E3 2004 is only four months away now, and it will probably take that long to figure out what Nintendo has up their sleeves.

so that wouldn't make sense for it to be the Ique. But our camera theory still stands.

Well, as someone said, a camera isn't a stand-alone thing.

I'd love to have a console that plays all the old games. ALL OF THEM!!!

Of course, it could be virtual reality...

Reminds me, I gotta make a thread in the Old Skool forum!

*yawn*

That sounds nifty. But as usual, people's expectations of anything Nintendo now are very low. A new mario game *sigh*...a new "realistic" zelda *sigh, been there done that*

This thing has tons of potential. It could really help in RPG's. But I want to see some pics of this and the controls for it. Hopefully its not too wide or tall.

Actually, that sounds very fun. I'd want to play it.

There's more details here.

I hope it runs on a rechargeable battery like the SP. Man, two screens, that's going to consume some major power. It better have jaw-dropping, revolutionary features.

Dyne · 01-21-2004, 01:38 AM

I don't think it'll be meant to be a portable..? Maybe, maybe not.

It's gonna have to be a lithium-ion battery. Batteries ain't gonna cut it.

Hm, I see some potential for shooters: 1st AND 3rd person perspectives.

This ain't quite what we expected...

I wonder how it will turn out!

rottwylor · 01-21-2004, 11:19 AM

I'm getting one... period

DeathsHand · 01-21-2004, 01:07 PM

Eh I don't see the big deal... I mean it could have good games like any other system, but two screens? Two perspectives? I could see how that could come in handy for some games, but I dunno...

Nintendo said it was supposed to be "Totally different" etc from stuff we have today, but it seems more like a handheld with a silly gimmick to me... I don't think the future of videogames lies in seeing games from two different perspectives at once...

But maybe it'll surprise me... Or maybe it'll be the next Virtual Boy
