Official: Next Nintendo Console Canceled or Delayed

Jonbo298 · 02-09-2004, 07:38 PM

I read this earlier today and Nikkei (sp?) made it sound like Nintendo was 100% certain they were going to wait. I'm glad NOA contacted IGN to clear up what the Nikkei was reporting. But depending on how these peripherals will be used, it could be a good/bad thing. I remember Sega tried this and it didn't turn out so great. But who knows...

I hope its something cool like a GBA Camera. I don't want any lame things like e-Card readers. I suppose there'll be some kind of transfer pack thing for Pokémon Colluseum arriving in March. I would just rather have some outstanding games instead of peripherals

This is good news in my book. Instead of just letting the Cube die slilently while a successor takes shapes, it just might go out with a bang, thanks to the help of some perhiprials. There is still that one extension port on the bottom thats not being used....

Eh...This sounds silly. I'd much rather have a new system than a bunch of crap for the Gamecube. I suppose as long as they make a hit game every three-four months, that will keep me playing it.(which is the only reason I bought it in the first place) I'll wait two years for a new system if only to play a Zelda and Mario sequel on the Cube, that'll be fine with me.

NOA confirmed that its nothing more than speculation, and the next Nintendo console is still on track. So much for that news.

You know what? IGNCUBE is really starting to piss ME off.

Why do you need a transfer pack?

You have the Advance cable, right???

So the story's probably fake, but I don't think Ninty is risking to delay the N5.

No, it would appear that they are not delaying it. The source that originally wrote the article mixed a lot of old and new quotes to get the desired article.

Very irresponsible reporting on their part.

As demonstrated lately, anyone can create a bad news story about Nintendo and it can get thrown out of proportion VERY easily. I feel sorry for Ninty.

True or false, Gamecube is still crappy, and changes need to be made

If thisis BS than someone needs to flip IGN the bird for posting it and making a ba situation sound worse!

If this is true than, well I'll hav eto P-Shop a poster together:

R.I.P. Nintendo

Face it at this point the two other Console builders have a stake in electronics or computers or both. Perhaps Nintendo should consider a merger with Apple, it would be benefical for both companies an I could see it as a way for Ninty to get back on top and smite Micro$oft at the same time.

Sony seems to be doing everything NIntendo did wit the N64 and NIntendo seems to be acting ignorant again!

Has Iwata become Yamauchi Jr.? I hope not -- it's going to bea cold day in hell before Nintendo dies, if they're desperate they should consider a merger with someone like Apple, they're on the up after a slump, I can only see good tings in thier future, maybe Panny will take over Nintendo, or merge. THat'd work as well if they want to smite Sony since Panny and Sony or mortal enemies in the biz world.

Jonbo298 · 03-11-2004, 05:27 AM

I swear I remember saying probably a long time back that Ninty and Apple should collaborate together.
