Leviathyn.com's Ron Hoffecker takes all the rumors that have been boiling since last year's E3 and makes predictions for this year's full reveal. Changes to the controller, hardware specs, and even a possible name change are abound!
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it
Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?
Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.
This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.
Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3
I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game
I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

Super Mario U is a great one that reminds me alot of Super Mario World on snes. When ran in 4k@60fps on pc, it's hard not to love it.

Well if Little Big Planet went 3d with Dreams then I guess marios going 3D maker next, looking forward to that
I think going forward it would be redundant to have another NSMB game on the Switch as the Mario Maker series can accomplish almost anything the NSMB series have level-wise.
I’d rather have a Zelda Maker. The dungeon builder on the new upcoming Zelda: Links Awakening looks like a testing ground.

Aonuma hinted at the possibility of Chamber Dungeons evolving into a Zelda Maker game in an interview with Kotaku during E3. Reporter Jason Schreier asked Aonuma directly if a Zelda Maker was in the cards, to which Aonuma replied:
“I can’t predict the future, but if people do love this idea of arranging dungeons, I’ll keep that in mind going forward.”
My problem with the Wii like kinect and what i hope they fix is the choice of games, they need more mature titles, Silent hill and resi 4 on the wii where the only games i could ever get into before i sold the console
I'm going to take the wait and see approach everything I've heard, read and know about bill of materials concerns me about it...but we'll see
The CPU was not confirmed quad-core. Newest rumors from NeoGaf is tri-core but with a different architecture and more eDRAM than the Xenos. The GPU is a custom HD That isn't relatable to any off the shelf GPU.
The rest is believable.
Interesting article. I like the bold predictions that other similar such articles have been unwilling to make. The screen size change is an interesting one... I do think the controller will see a lot of small refinements, like the circle pads and triggers, but I don't know about the screen, obviously. This was fairly conservative in terms of game announcements. Pikmin 3 has been in devfor so long that I could see it for launch. New Super Mario Bros Mii, as well, since they obviously had a build of it last year, and it will move a lot of units for Christmas. And there will be all the stuff we haven't heard about yet. E3 should be very interesting this year.
Yeah ibm said power7 CPU so 4 cores with each core running 4 threads do the math. On the GPU side I don't think the rumors are true as nintendo was using the 4850 GPU. That GPU is know for overheating and nintendo would NEVER take the cahnce of having a RROD type situation. So I do believe they would go with the 6000 series.
