If it sells well enough I do not see a reason they would not make another one.

Oh, Nerf Now! I am disappoint. I checked it out as per usual to see if there's a new comic, and there was, but the little blog post under it had this.

(dramatic pause)

I think the 3ds is the future for Nintendo. The fight for the TV room has gotten too fierce, the combatants too big, and Nintendo knows better than to fight a fight it won't win. It will do what SEGA did long ago, but instead of just doing software it will instead focus on the handheld market. They're good at it after all.

Instead of putting another watered down console on the market, they could churn a beefier handheld out and focus the production of their big titles towards that device. Want to play Zelda or Mario? Gotta buy a 3DS. Want to play Metroid or Donkey Kong? Same thing.

Maybe they will go back to the big console market one day. But for now, and for a while yet to come, I think they will focus on a fight they can win.

I must've missed something, when did the Wii fail?

I have now come to the conclusion that drawing loli and female version of TF2 characters makes you coo-coo in the head.

I'm serious, what?

Wii has sold more than 360 and PS3, yet it is still a major failure everywhere. Don't deny it people, obviously the Wii is a major fail.

GameInformer/IGN/Kotaku: Wii successor at E3, Significantly More Powerful Than PS3.

.. on Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:13 pm

Even though the thought that the next Console for Nintendo is more powerful than the PS3 (The PS3 is the most powerful console) is something cool to think about, for some reason I have doubts.

Though I have always thought Nintendo would take all the money they got from the Wii to make an awesome console that would catch themselves up to the other consoles.

Relmitos on Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:23 pm

I would love to see that, shut up all those PS3/Xbox360 fanboys saying how the *insert current Nintendo system here* is for kids and the like.

DRTJR on Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:25 pm

They built a base now their going to make it BAD ASS!

If this is true, and thats a big if. Then Nintendo will have successfully have had something up their sleeves for two E3s in a row.

Bugman on Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:37 pm

Can Nintendo break everything two years in a row?

Seriously, I think they can. But hardware is not enough, they'll need to software. (Not exclusively talking about games, here.)

Its most interesting indeed.

Curious to see Sony's and Microsoft rebuttal Razz

Also, my inner fanboy is jumping around in joy

Inb4 Skyward Sword set to be a launch title alongside a Wii release.

Smart man, very smart man.

How long before the release was it before we found out TP was going to release for GC and Wii?

Also, they intend Skyward Sword to have more motion control, so if it were to release for the new console, would that imply it has motion control as well?

Of course, what I am getting at is, would the next console be primarily Motion Control as the Wii is.

Quaetam on Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:41 pm

I think I saw something about a speculated late 2012 release date., so I doubt Skyward sword will be pushed back that far.

Good point.

Also the reason people believe this rumor is because a late 2012 release date is a believable release date. 10 bucks says it releases in November.

Smashy B on Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:48 pm

I don't remember how long it was.

If they were to do unto Skyward Sword what they did to TP, I think it would still have motion control. Reasoning is that the new system is rumored to be backwards compatible so it would have to at least support motion. Then again they could give an option to remove it like TP threw in motion for Wii, but I don't see why they would want to remove it.

As for the actual emphasis with motion, I don't think it will be as big of a focus as it was when the Wii first rolled out. I think that it will continue the trend as the Wii has in the most recent years and games as in less gimmicks and not feeling forced into a certain movement.

Bugman on Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:50 pm

Another source report this.

.. on Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:54 pm

This is sounding more believable with every report.

But in that report it said..

The controller will be all-new and has a HD screen on it."

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck?
