Developers are already working on a "new Nintendo platform" ahead of a possible reveal at this year's Game Developers Conference, an industry source has told VideoGamer.com.
Earlier this morning we were contacted by an employee at a major international publisher with the following information:
"Just heard a rumour that you may be interested in: Nintendo are going to announce a new platform at GDC. Some devs have already started work on it."
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
The Nintendo DS has some amazing titles available. Here are some of the best nostalgic games that every child of the DS era grew up playing.
I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.
DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
new DS and PSP this year...
Then I assume it's going to challenge MS and Sony's attempts at motion control. Nintendo can continue squeezing out the Wii (imagine what a price drop would do), or they could put the money into a new console, but I wonder if they would start appealing to their core audience again.
Maybe they will announce a new motion device too?
If it's a new console then wow that's not only early but it's also a bit premature considering Nintendo is doing just fine this generation.
I'm sure planning has been afoot for the Wii's successor for awhile.
But I highly doubt any devs would be working with any sort of prototype. Hell, third parties haven't even begun to truly push the Wii.
most likely it will be a handheld device to compete with the ipad.
and it will do more then just games. im guessing of coarse.
its the next ds. wii hd is a rumor they might make over clocking a wii possible and have some expansion for it to do hd which wii games are capable of. lol never know. usb hd wire?
but its the next ds. nvidia practically confirmed it
